. .

The ex-Heron seen led the proposition, which we.
unanimously carried.
Mr. DALSTON took the chair amidst applause and
returned thanks for the compliment paid him. He said It
was his painful duty to coriennoos the proosedings of tbe
evening by mono' a vote of censure on the Government,
which c one iota °face under the false pretence that
British interests were being unlaced by the Liberals. He
stigmatised the Givemment as inefficient and Immoral
aid charred them with being indirectly the cause of the
distress in the country and the bWodshed abroad. The
&airman concluded by moving "Thai the foreign and
domntic policy of the present Government has been
highly injurious to the best Intervista of the country, by
hewing created uneacessaryl complication abroad and
:3zsged improvements at horns. that are Imperatively
we far if are to have individual ha and
Dnuoual prosperity. TMs meeting therefore pledges
Itself to use its beet endeavours to return to the Hones of
Commoni a representative who will resolutely oppose a
policy that has been productive of such evil consequences
to all classes of Lin community."

could possibly benefit any man who had got
his living to make, wanted to convert others, and
not for their meetings to be opened to Liberals only. All
working non knew well Liberal pritociplos were the only
ones worth espousing. Those two gentlemen (Mr.
Cavendish Bentinck and Ur. Schreiber) mime down to
Pools, and one of those gentlemen was about to offer hits-
salf--or had already done so—as a candidate for the
suffragee of that borough. (Hisses, and cries of "It's no
good.") When he (the speaker) said that Mr. Schreiber
was about to become his opponent, be was very plumed,
because bethought he (the speaker) had been no frequently
reproached for being • foreigner—and in fact Mr. Bentinck

personalities which had made their contests in this town so
extremely enplement to a great number of people and
most horribly unpleasant for him. But it did not seem u
though this was to be so, for that gentleman had indulged
in personalities to • large extent. Mr. Schreiber (hisses)
told them that he had brought for their service every con-
siderable knowledge at foreign countries, their laws, habits,
and customs, their social condition, and so forth. Ile (the

best information he know of, and this it was satisfactory
to know, for it was always satisfactory to know with whom
one had dealings. Mr. Schreiber had told them that Sir
Ivor Guest was an bagel. (Cries of "oh".) Did anybody
doubt it! (Laughter.) And further Mr. Schreiber had
said, as somebody had observed ra him, that it was pre-
sumption on his part to be • fool and rush in where an
angel had declined to tread. Mr. Schreiber, however,
rather took liberties with the old quotation. It would have
been better if be had used tho words of the poet him-
