outrages. No mien, when he looked up his house at
night, was sumo whether he would be shot before the
morning, or would have his ears clipped, or something
equally noplessent. The nod* Chairman admitt

an in lividuel the body of the hall, who wise evidently
shiently inebriated, expressed himself surprised at " •
mao like the gad of El lon lending himself f„, such
nousanee." After repeated interruptions, • gentleman
on the platform put it to the meeting if toe diatorb-
an°, was to continue, and it wars agreed to "turn him
out." This was stoutly resisted by the merry
individual in questioa and could not be induced to
move an loch, and as Lace seemed no chance of getting
him into the fresh air, which it wee suggested he
evidently needel, Mr. George Bred happily effected
• compromise,- sod on its being understood no further
interruptions should tiocar, tie meeting relapsed into
he former state of quietude.) The Oh Unman, after •
few other remarks, coiled on .lapt. Puma to move the
following resolution :—" that the exterual policy of
Her hialeety's U men., ae exemplified by the
abandonment of Cetadaitisr and the Transvaal, has
Sanded to lower the 'Lotions! honour; and that their
policy in Ireland has mode them responsible for the
state of anarchy to which that country has been
redwood ; and thet the enaouragement they have given
to the admission of atheists to the House of Commons
Is opposed to the relight= instincts of the people.
Speaklug of Mr. Gladstone's rule, or "misrule," as
the speaker ct..es to term it, he said the Premier wet
treading no ler foot our national honour, iusalting
our r. ligi in by eudisevouriug to admit by • aid 'wind
au atheist into the House of Commons, probably fur
the purp as of trying to get • few Betliatl votes and
he bad likewise trample I under foot all those inltitu-
trotte that England mods most dear. Critic aing Mr.
Gilesee action, Captain Ppm said they respected the
hon. member aa a private man, ant ale because he
bad not blindly followed Mr. Glaistoue, but what
they wanted was a man who would never follow him.

the speaker said they should view with the gravest
distrust any attempt to "gag" members in their proper
, Ise= at Westminster. Ins end a *radon for the
good old star of to* Britian Constitution, he said they
were swaging straight for the fel= lights of eonfisca-
Lion and democracy, and they would DOM find the
garlaut old ship, the &Wish Empire, amongst the ,
breakers. He therefore called upon every man who
1 reed his country to rally round the Conservative party.
It was a straggle of mite.n against atheion—of coo-
stitutlonalem against democracy— of truth, j ustice, acid
liberty against the dapotion of Mr. Gladstone.
Mr. WAlie, who was announced by the Cashman
as balling from London, thou made • speech. This
gentleman, it may be remembered by some of our
readere, ass often heard daring the last election at
Weymouth, and his present oration was of the
usual stale blo and thunder charecter, even serving
up the timeh moored dish of the Ittsion oct pus,
with its long srins, with its eye on India, sad daily
approaching Dearer to her. Mr. Waite's remarks,
however, fell comparatively fi hotel only when refer.
ring to the Jewish atrocities, and the atheism and false
rictrium of Mr. Broallaugh, did he evoke anything
like geoid di applause.

" I bat this meeting pli Igss it,. f Ii use every legiti-
mate eff rrt to rest re to power a constitutional
G rye:nu:rent, in whom bonds the honour sod welfare
of the country will be secure."
The lion. Mr. CaVeSDISN Bernice seconded the
resolution. The failure of the Government was per
hotly obvious from the speeches of their most intimate
friends, and instanced the 'trenchant condemnation"
from the mo oth of as advanced L bird, Mr. Joseph
Cowen, delivered at Newcastle, and also from • recent
speech by Sir Charles Diike. Comment on the tonne*
of the Government would be only like kicking • deaf
bake,. The chiskey was dead, wee good for nothing
at all, and they ought to spare thoraces.. The Imam
of the failure of the Government wee they bad no dis-
tinct principle upon which they had acted. He
contrasted the resent Conservative Government with
their opponents. The Conservatives had principle.,
and they c Add explain the convictions they honestly
held, whereas the other party had no object in view
exceptsto do whit was good for themselves for the time
being. And the same in regard to our great cm-
stitutional institution The Conservatives desired to
retain them, but at the sae= Lim. were quite wilting

item of which appeared (to borrow an unmusical
phrase) to keep the ball rolling. Miss laniard appeared
as soprano eolost, which fat will guarautee this

may add, however, we have never heard her in better
voice or to greater advautate. Mims Ninths Harding

her fir.t appearance before a Poste audience, and
acquitted herself so well that she may be •ore of •
very hearty welcome whenever she isvoors Poole isgain.
