Lieut.-Commandant H. T. Galardi also neponded.
The volunteers were progressing both in must, rs and
efficiency, and everyone who saw the review at
Windsor, and how the men conduoted themeless,
could not help saying they would be a valuable force.
(Applause.)
Quartermaster EAMON responded for the Yen-

their oldest members, Quartermaster Geoge. (Hear,

The 011atallag nest gave " The health of the
Borough fdeuthera." (Applause.) It was a toast
worthy of their acceptance, and he was sorry that one
of the gentlemen was not present. He would have
been if arrangstusuLt could have been made, and the
Chairman was certain he wets thinking about them.
He wee quite sure be could congratulate them on Mr.
Edwards being amongst us. (Applause.) We are
always trial to gee hlm.(renewed applause)—but he
was suffering from a sever. cold. George 111.. came to
Weymouth in consequence of being poorly, and he
hoped the result of coming to Weymouth would be..
beneficial to our worthy member as it wes to George
that he will lose his cold and go back to London
better in health and in every way. He asked them to
drink the health of our borough m mbers. and Hr.
Edwards to respond. The toast was drunk with tire"
times three, and Mr. Edwards, on rising to respond,
was greeted with renewal cheering.
Mr. EDWARDS, M.P., said :—Mr. Mayor and
Gentlemen, —I beg most heartily to thank you on
behalf of my worthy colleague and myself for the
honour you have done us In drinking our health. I
11111 sure it is • matter of regret to him, as it is to us,
that be is not here amongst as this evening, at this
friendly g sthering ; but we have satisfaction in know-
ing he lain the sonny south, and I hope laying in a
good stock of health to enable him to enounnter the
hard work, and what many are disposed to call the
coming terrible Parliamentary Session. There can be
no doubt it will be a very trying session; but it fre-
quently happens when the worse I. predicted it

and a dimolution must follow, both of which events
Weymouth can he contest to wait for.
It affords me groat pleasure being present this even-
ing. I think thts family gathering of Merchants and
Traders one of the most ~tremble I ever attend. It
recalls to my mini most vividly when I first sought
the honour of being one of your representatives, now
well nigh 20 year. ago. At that time I could hardly
walk down the same side of the street with any one
who differed from me in politics; and now when I
look around me and see all shades of politics
assembled together in friendly intercourse—the
wolves and the lambs reposing together-1 won't
venture to say which are the wolves or which the
lambs,—we are all united in the earnest desire to
piomots the intercs a and welfare of Weymouth. I
venture to offer a sentiment that I am very often ex.
pressing—" May the different:is of opinion

was afraid his voice would have entirely failed ; it must
have been • severe r.rain for him to speak se he had.

that • considerable number of the new members were

The Bev. L W. &Ueda. who acknowledged the vote

for three years, and nothing afforded him greater

the cultivation of bees was of such • character that no

The rev. gentlognan remarked on his eadeavours to

Kr. DICINIS did not like the dilemma in which it had

Some remarks being made, Kr. Dzsgts asserted with

it go, by implicaUon, forth to the town that what they
wanted would be illegal.

grave doubts whether it would be local to pees such •

NSW PARLCAMOrTART BOUM
There is no doubt about our baying lots of work to
do when Parliament meets, and the first and moat he.
portent thing I. t put our house in order, and adopt
rules to carry on the business of the nation. The
House of Commons has for centuries carried on its
duties t the admiration of the world, until lately,
when some turbulent spirits opposed to the British
Constitution perverted some forms to their own imr-
p sea. We are again threatened with obetructioo
bat to be forewarned means to be forma-wed, and I
hope, as I believe, that means will be devised by which
the Government of this country can be carried on with-
out infringinr our ancient rights and privileg s, of
which we are so justly roud. I cannot believe it
possible that any serious misunderstanding can arise
as to forming Ilex's try rules for preventing obstruc-
tion. The Goveromeut can only ask for such p 'veer
that the Opposition would require if they were to take
their placer. I think power sh •uld be left in the bands
of the Speaker, in whom the House has full confidence,
to exercise authority when • debate obeli made. (Haar,

As to himself, the chair had been many bright

besides, it would have been injustice for the Council
to ootermin the preposition, considering the bond-
holders had advanced more money on the Pier, On
the Esplanade improvements will be made, and 50

Dad been said about taxation, and too mock about

they will always be poor ratepayers ; but he woul•I rather
have a heavy rate and plenty of money to pay for It.
(Applause.) Any improvement meant the outlay of a eon-
aiderable sum, and be hoped wltcn any proposition is made
to Carry out any extensive improvement, we shall hem
little about the poor ratesayer, because we mast keep

our town is healthy. Vet there bad been an extensive

draioage scheme and told that if thy did that, they
should then be taloned t about the Improvement Loan.
The Corporation paused before they plunged into that
question; but if it were far the benefit of the town,
they would take up both echemes, but if not, they
would not take them up. With the toast of "The Trade •
