bear of attempts of the majoritict of working men
to interfere with minoritien. I think you know ste all
require teaching in our duties one towards another. 11.,
rich have a great deal to leurn in their duties to the
awl employers in their relations to workmen. but,
upon it, workmen have a mat deal to learn als r.
mi me to say, they have a great deal to learn in respxt
to their relations one to another. I have had discus
friendly discussions, with leaders of trades !Minns, and have
told them that very plainly. For instance, in the attempts
made to render the pay of a good workman 'inn] to that of a
haul workman et. the attempts made to retire.. a man from
doing al much as be can de ; or the attetii!.!• made to dis-
courage the labour of women and chiblren—that is, of
boys, not fully grown up. All these are superstitions and
errors which prevail to a certain extent am' ng many
of the working classes of this country. Those errors will.
I believe, cure themselves. But when it comes to an
attempt to interfere with the liberty of others it is a very
serious matter, and there is certainly a groat prejudice in
the minds of many in Parliament to give the franchise to
working men when there is a disposition to interfere with
one another's labour. This is a, political consideration
worth thinking about if you value a vote, and if you
desire to strengthen the hands of those who desire to
have the suffrage extended; but I do not stand upon that.
I stand upon the moral and social ground, and I say to
you as linglishinmi, as men who posse*, and value liberty.
there is no true value of liberty where a man does not
respect the liberty of everybody else just as much as he
respects his own liberty. boa grant that y•ou may come

DEAN STANLEY ON JOHN BUNYAN.
At the unveiling of the Bunyan statue, on Wednesday,
Dean Stanley mode the following speech upon the tinker
of Bedford:
--
"A, I walked through the wilderness of this world I lighted
upon • certain place where there was • den"' These words
hare been translated into hundreds of lank-tures, and the
question has been often asked, where was that place and where

of that place is Redden!, and the mune .4 that den Bedford

Bedford this immortal renown, and Bedford to-lay pays hack

has in your illustrious townsmen to your heel claims. some-
the national and coompelitan claret:ter of Bunyan', works was
probably owing to the wandering, giPsy life he led lii his youth
as a tinker, and in the more serious joerneyings of his after
life in what may Inc called his episcopal visitations. If we
follow the track of the voting soldier whether in the Royal or
the Parliamentarian arruy Is not certain which), when he.,

LAIMI•Ii' CRICKET MATCH.
A cricket match of a novel description has been played
at Sandhurst (AustralLa), with the object of swelling the
funds of local charities. The players were ladies, who
went into regular practice for the match, and a local
journal said, in noticing their proceeding., " the progress
which they made was astonishing, for they hiked up the
