which now-a-days in these times of easy travelling
premed very unfairly upon smaller parishes. Why
should a young man, who leaves his parish, travels about
from place to place, wherever the high rate of wages
might attract Isitm and after spending the best years of
his life in those places, return, when he was utterly use-
less, to the place where he was born, to be maintained for
the rest of his life at the expense of that parish 7 -(hear,
hoar, awl cheers). That he considered a thing which
ought to be taken up, for it had become more • national
than a local question. He had received several letters
lately, asking him his opinions &A to the Disestablishment
of the Church, and also with regard to the Burials BBL
Now lie wished to state that ho was adverse to any idea of

Burials Bill ha would say he did not certainly agree with
Mr. Osborne Matsui* Bill, and if they elected him he
would certainly vote cgaiust it -(hear hear). But any
amendment that might be brought forward he should
,nsidor on its merits. He very much admire! the
Foreign and Colonial policy of the present Oovernnient„
especially he might mention the way in which they
had bought the Suez Canal, and the firmness's with which
they had dealt with all affairs relating to that subject
With respect to the Army and Navy,lm knew more of the
Cornier than the latter, his interest being more directly
centered in it. Recruits were very difficult to get, and
when got they were very hard to keep. Now that there
was more money in the country young men were continu-
ally buying their discharge and leaving the army, and not
only in that way, for a great many deserted. They must
look upon the army ass luxury, for this was the only
country, in which it wa• not & compulsory service, and if
they did not wish It to becoaie such, and be was confident
most would be adverse to that- they must be prepared to
pay for it. The only way to get good recruits was to go
into the labour market, and as, the price of labour, as they
all knew, had increased of late years, if Government
wished to czmpete with private employers they must
offer equal advantava, and therefore he had no doubt
that they would find the pay of the army would have to
be considerably Increased-thew, hear), lie would not
detain them any longer, he thought he had touched upon
moot of the topics that interested them, but if there was
any question they desired to ask him either there, or in
private, he would be delighted to answer it. He thanked
them very much for the manner in which they had
listened to him, sad would ask them to rest assured that
if they chow) hint to represent them in Parliament,
he would do his utmost to further their interests-(lond
cheers).
Major Fasiirros briefly moved the following resolution:
--That in the opinion of this meeting, Capt. the Hon.

he was resolved himself to support him as far as he could
(cheers).

the resolution.
