SALVATION ARMY RIOTS.

Serious rioting occurred at Whitatable on Friday
night in connection with theSalvatiou Army. About
900 members had been to Canterbury to assist at the
opening of the barracks which the Army has acquired
in the cathedral city, and on their return in the even.
ing they were met at the railway station by • mob
numbering several hundred men and boys, who pelted
the Salvationism with mud, and resorted to personal
•iolenoe. One man had several of his teeth knocked
out ; a woman was pushed down and trampled upon,
one of her arms being broken; a tradesman roorived a
violent blow from a brickbat hurled at him with
tremendous force, his head being cut opon ; another
man waa knocked down, rolled over in the mud, and
kicked violently in the face : while several other
persons received gh treatment at the hands of the
mob. During the riot mveral women fainted, and the
whole scene was one of a neat disgracefill character.
Whitstable, beings small place, ham but one polioeman
located in it, who, of course, waa powerless. The
name,' of some Of the rioters were, however, obtained,
and magisterial proceedings will probably be taken.

In the Rouse of Commons there we,. wire matter
for obeervation. Parties had changed soles there,
and the House bore a reisunlihuice to taelf as it war
in thready Part of June la.t. with the important
diferenom that lewd Raudolph Chiirchid was now a
Prominent figure on the Inuit I /pp.mit i..n bench
instead of the conspicibui. •if the corner
seat below the gangway, and that the Irish inimili-re
monopolised a MU pf I•114f 11..1111. NI of the 111.1.0.
lion side of the House. Sir M. Hicks-Beach coming
in first among the ex•Mini.ters, led the way to
the cold shade. He was followed by colleagues
numerous enough to establish a striking contrast
between the two front lienchee : for the Treasury
bench remained lung unoccupied, save be Sir U.
1181 four, who is privileged to take Isis ease in one of
its corners on these exceptional oecv.ions. At half.
past four Mr. A. Morley, Lord It. Grosorenor, and
Mr. H. Fowler seated themselves modestly here in
the shade of the Speaker's chair. By Ili, time many
Lawral members bad eatalilialwd themselves in olil
familiar mate Mr. Ilillwlil re-cored the cornet on
the front bench below the gangw iv, Mr Lalsitichere
having the next seats. iii Ow days before the advent
of the stopgap Government. Mr. Ryland., Mr.
Potter, and Mr. A. McArthur held the owner au-at.
behind them. On the other side of the gangway he

assumed by Sir C. Dilke, behind whom sat Mr. ri r•
jeant Simon, The envied corner on the Oppaa t
side formerly occupied by Lord It. Churchill hail b.-en
secured by Sir J. Alltenna. Mr. A. Morley, on
modestly presenting himself in his new capacity a.
Patronage Secretary to move the new writ., was
greeted with • frendly cheer. Tie first motion was
1 for the issue of the writ for Edieiburgh comity. The
description 11( the oil n', by acceptance of which Mr.
' Gladstone's seat has Is-en sacated, was read out in
full, the formal designation ending with the pointed
reminder that the Prime Minister in also "lewd High
Treasurer of Ireland." The Opposition mewed to
discover some amusement in the formula by which,
in the motion for the writ for Derby, Sir. W. Harcourt
was desiccated as Chancel I.Fr and Under•Treaaurer
of the Exchequer." The writ for Edinburgh, in con-
sequence of the appointment of Mr. Childers, was
ilest moved for, and then in aticceavion similar
motions were made for facilitating the re-election iit
Mr. Campbell•Bannerinan, Mr. Chamberlain, Mr.
Trevelyan, Mr. Nlundella, and Mr. C. Rusell. The
cheers greeting the names of Mr. Ilannerman and
Mr. C. Rumen bespoke the special pleasure el the
House at the promotion of three hon. members. No
oilier writs were moved for. Mr. A. Xiorley, how-
.sec, moved the adjournment of the Howie till Satur-
day, when it is understood that other new writs will
be i-sued. In answer to Sir M. Hicks-Beach, Mr.
Morley said he hoped to be able then to indicate when
the House would resume its ordinary business. The
motion for adjournment till Saturday at three o'clock
was then agreed to.
