BIBLE OR POLITICAL CLASS—WHICH IS IT
To ow Edaor.

- -
Sir,—Lest Sunday afternuo, in an address to the young
men who attend the Bible class held in the room above
the hales tavern, the gentleman who undoes the clus
made certain observations with raseeehoe to Kr. Br."',ugh
and the way in which Kr. Gladatone treated with the
Bredisugh case. He need not have done so, for what I
heard on corning out cl the thee convinced me that the
members of the clam knew more of the real state of
political affairs than their conductor did. However, this
gentleman in hie address stated that by returning Kr.
litradlough to the House. the people of Northampton not
only dread an insult to the nation, but also to the
Almighty. He also hinted that in consequence of
this Gird had sent • judgment upon the nation
In the hte disaster to our troops In Afghanistan.
Now I have thought • great deal on the matter,
and I have come to the conclusion that if this
gentleman had thought a little more before making such
aboard remarks he would have reasoned with himself that
U God had wished to punish the nation because one of its
towns had returned a man to Parliament who was not •
Christian, He would have done it by • more effectual way
than by allowing over 2.000 of our soldiers (who could not
help what the people of Northampton did) to be butchered
up -by the A'shans. If this genthatan only reads the
dalli-s he will come to the conclusion that I have c us to,
via, that even suppose the Afghan war was • war that
could not have been honourably avoided, the whole of it
hue been • series of blunders from beginning to end' and
for • man to admirals a clam as this gentleman did last
Sunday afternoon wu simply ridiculous. This gentleman
also made several remarks about the way in which Kr.
Gladstone ma& the members in the House 'sat their own
words" by allowing Yr. Bradlaugh to make ao affirmation.
I think the Bradleugh ease wee before the public long
enough for them to see that the majority of the people
were in favour of Yr. Bradlaugh making the affirmation,
so that 1/Ir. Gladstone only did his duty in doing 1111 the
majority of the people wished him to do. Therefor*, with
• House composed of two-thirds Liberals it is no wonder
that a sensible motion like Kr. Gladstonis was carried
contrary to the &obi= of the two former committees,
who both gave decisions in opposition to other. Thus
It was that the members were made to "rat their own
words, as the gentleman puts it. In conclusion I would
say that if the gentlemaa about whom I am writing
would cantina* the good be has been doing for ties last
three or four years by holding • young metes class, with-
out Introducing politics into it, I fool aortae he will plisses

THE DRUMM
A lett .1. was received from Mr. Matheson. asking the
CJuncil to appoint a Clerk of the Works to watch the
progress of the bridge works.
The general opinion was that Mr. Morgan, the Borough
Surveyor. should act in that capacity. The (oration then
arose it he should be specially paid for the duties.
Mr. LOVA. was strongly opposed to extra per matt. He
did not think they should be doing their duty if they
paid extra money for this woik Pople outside were
grumldieg eery mock about tke excessive amount paid for
the work of summing.
Mr. Morgan, on being asked his opinion on the matter.
stated he was willing to ace as superintendent engineer,
but not as clerk of the works.
Mr. Dunne moved that Kr. Matheson's naggeetion be
acted on, and that • local man be appoints' (either •
native of Weymouth or Portland) at • salary of la • week.
Alderman Thomas moved as an amendment "That the
surveyor be requested to superintend the work, and that
a gratuity of 1:25 be allowed him for the additional
Labour."
Mr. WALLIS s dd they undoubtedly ought to compensate
the surveyor for the extra work.
Mr. LaNNING emended the amendment, which was
carried.
Mr. Lorgu. protested against these "extraordinary
proceedings,"and spending the ratepayers' money unduly.
The Maros said it was neither the ratepayers' nor the
bondholders' mom', but it would caw from the tolls.
Hr. J. T. Whettam wrote informing the Council that it
was his intention to commence constructing • tem
foot-bridge, four feet wide, B

accord-
ance with the terms of his contract. As the ackwater-

The C tuned ackoortledged the receipt of a letter from
Mr. P. Dodson,calling attention to the fact that they could
greatly assist in helping to keep up the bealth of this
town to a high standard by giving • little attention to
that portion of the Act of PArliatnent which requirts a
space equal to 114 equate feet, exclusive of any building,
to be given to each and every dwelling at the tsck there,
of. and as several houses have lately been built without
this necessary health-giving space, and ho beard more
were going to be built. he begged to call their attention to
the same in order that they might with their surveyor
make • house-to-house visit sod condemn the placts
which were not of the proper @lse, and thus elll-0 c to-
siderable activity loth' betiding trade, which would prove

Dr HOOILISSAD proposed a cordial vote ef thanks, in
which all would heartily concur, to W. Eliot, Eel., the
treasurer. Although this institution was originated be
Dr. Smyth upwards 01 30 years ago, the interest taken in
it is unabated. While we all regret that be is prevented
by advancing years from attending, we are glad to see his
place so well =pelted by his eon, Mr. R. Eliot. (Ap-
plause.)
Dr. SMITE seconded.
Mr. It. &JOT returned thanks on behalf of his father,
stating that his services had not been very laborious. This
Institution is almost unique in the town in that it has
been in debt. It had always been flourishing and
prosperous, and he hoped it would continue so. In con-
clusion be tweet a vote of thanks to Dr. Smith. the
[modern foe his services as boo. secretary and physician.
Rev. J. STIMmit2SON, in seconding, said Dr. Balth was
the strength and life of the institution. Somebody down-
stairs had proposed that speeches should be made by the
ladles; but he should like to have spathe, from the
patients, and if they had the opportunity of expressing
their thanks, they would have • very hearty speseb. He
emended tits resolutiou with very great pleasure.
Dr. Siam, in reply, said: Mr. Chairman, Ladles, and
Gentlemen,—! thank you all most heartily for the vote of
thanks so tinily accorded me on this, as on all similar
occasions, for the last 32 year% which, however, does not
represent the whole period of my residence amongst you,

amongst you for a period of 'even and thirty years land I
thank God for being thus ths spared monument of His
mercy and instrumental in His hands to decors the bless-
ings of health to many a human sufferer; nor has any part
of my duties in this respect been more zealously bestowed
them to the inmates of this institution, without which. I
may ray without vanity, many • helpless sufferer must
have been new dragging out • miserable existence if not
relieved by • welcome death. I would not, however, have
you to appose for one moment that we imagine all the

this—via, I dO not think there is any other public insti-

see daily evidence of the love and esteem in which Mrs.

however, take the opportunity of saying that he had
always bat much satisfaction in giving his services to the
Sanatorium. None but those engaged in its practical
working could form an adequate idea of the boon con-
ferred, through its instrument dity, upon the peculiar
class of sufferers in this district for whale ben fit it was
founded. As one of the me Ural staff he could not, there-
fore but feel grateful ti the oupporters generally of the
institution for the privilege he enjoyed, through their
liberality of being the means, under Providence, of help-
ing to relieve the sufferings of so large a number of their
poor arid afflicted fellow-croatures. It was, perhaps. not
generally known that, though special be imitate had been
En existence for centuries, it was not till about 40 years
ago that the necessity of establishing those for the treat-
ment of the diseases of women was prominently br night
Into notice. The Metropolitan Hospital for Women in
Soho-square, which was feunded in 1843, was the Let
gynmoological institution in this country. A few years
later—in 1848—this Sanatorium, which had the honour of
being the first in the provinces, was established by Dr.
Smith. He mentioned these facts in order to point out
that, while at that remote period the need of such institu-
tions was felt only by • few philanthropists who had
made this branch of medical science especial study, their
importance to the community was now universally recog-
nised. Dr. Moorhead then stated that but • few weeks
ago his had the Privilege of being present on the occuion
of laying the foundation stone of a new Hoenital for
Women in Chelsea. The stone was laid by H Mil. the
Princess of Wales in the presence of KR H. the Wine,
of Wales. It was not too much to say that gracious act
on the part of the Princess evinced the deep sympathy
felt by our Royal Horse for the sufferings of our affilded
countrywomen. It was gratifying to note the keen in-
terest displayed by all classes on the oc 211i012, as evidenced
by the goodly array of purees of sovereigns deposited upon
the stone in aid of the building fund. From what he had
stated it would, he thought, be evident the Sanatorium
and other hospitals for women supplied a recognised
public want, while they constituted part of those noble
charitable institutions which abound in this country, and
are the crowning glory of our common Christianity. Dr
Moorhead thanked the audience for the kind attention
with which they had listened to his remarks, and added
that while health permitted he should have much pl
in co-operating with Dr. Smith in carrying on the benefi-
cent work of the Sanatorium. (Applause.)
Rev.F.Fisumt moved the vote of thanks to the trustees,
which, with the others, appears among our advertise-
ments. It had been remarked there was • sameness at
the Sanatorium meetings, and • rev, gentleman Proposed
that • lady should give them a song; hut to-day they
were favoured by the Italian Bind (which was playing
outside during the meeting)
Dr. Sarre seconded the resolution, remarking that at all
times when the committee w, re required, there was no
great difficulty in getting them. Often it win found
matters were best left with the secretary and three or
four of the committee ; but whin anything special was

(Applause.)
The Rev. 0. Sergi& proposed a vote of thanks to Mr.
Leave., surgeon dentist —This was eeconded by Dr.

The Rev. J. Segregresoe was sure no one could find
fault with Dr. Smith's management of the Sanetorium.

his secret; he certainly hard a marvellous power of good
management and Mr. Stephenson supposed there was not
another institutirn of the kind managed with greater
success. Their friend the Mayor is always ready to help
in any good work, an! he had now gladly come to-day to
preside over this meeting to show his interest in this
excellent and flourishing institution. Amid app'anas Mr.
Stephenson moved • vote of thanks to the dlayor as
chairman.—Seconded by Dr. Servo.
The Itaroz responded, expressing his sympathy with
all institutions established for the relief of suffering
humanity. It moat be a 'relit satisfaction to all their
friends to hear of the enormous amount of good done, of
30.000 people being relieve.t, ant to feel that the work
which had been done here was not in vain.
