MILLERS AND THEIR FLOUR.

the great straggle in which we are engaged—(hear, hear)—
to the universal voice of Europe, to public opinion, to pub-
lic law. For, gentlemen, as there is a municipal law insult.,
well governed kingdom—as when that municipal law is
invested, by aggression, every private citizen becomes a civil
officer to put down the wrong and redress the right—so
there is in civilised Errors an international law; and whoa
that law shall be invaded for the purposes of guilty ambition,
thee other siountries become the lawful and just instruments
for vindicating the indepeadenes of nations. (Loud
applause.) Gentle:ass, it would be sweats of time, and
won* than • waste of time, were Ito recur to the long past
coeurreumis that led to the aegis of the present war ; but this
at least is clear, that the great act by which
the pease of Europe was disturbed, used the law
of nations broken, wee the set of oar enemy
Russia. Deep was the guilt, and signal bare been the con-
sequences. Those who are Living at home in security can
with difficulty estimate the consequences of the war to
Ramis. We can form but a very inadequate idea of fields
deprived of their cultivation, and all the ruthless thaw
gessoes la which that involves a whole people. We know
nothing of the asscent manufactures cut up by the roots,
nor of those deep wounds inflicted on her social and com-
mercial prosperity which the present generation in all pro-
bability will never live to see healed. Gentlemen, the
scourge of war falls so doubt on all who are engaged in it;
and I believe it was a saying of the Duke of Wellington that
there was no greater calamity than a battle woo, except a
battle lost. The guilty ambition of Russia has made assay
an English woman a widow, and made many
English children fatherless ; it has cost us in one year
more public treasure than we had saved in forty
years of peace; it has done somewhat to re
tard the wondrous development of our great ems-
menial power, but it has left us conquerors 2
pitched battles and triunirlaat in every sea. The Em-
pivot of Russia, on the other hand, has seen hie fleets an,
tire, 'powering behind stone walls from our victorious as-
vies, or sunk at the bottom of the sea by the hand et b
who formed them as instruments of his power. He losisl
at Sebastopol given up to the ensanguined ruing, and be
sees even Bwesborg, the outwork of his capital, basing a
lientane of our strength. Gentlemen, such has been she
eoasequence to Russia of the campaign of 1866. This is the !
way in which Providence has blessed the arms of our allies,
In terms of natural eloquence, which 1 am sure must have
struck deep lute the heart of every person in this large se-
suably, the gallant officer (Bis James Ferguson), in ream-
leg thanks on behalf of the army, slicks of the achieve-
ments of our arms and the duty of our °inseam at home.
Gentlemen, I apprehend there cannot be any
difference of opinion at home as to what is oar
duty. Our duty is to give the most vigorous
spryer, to the crown of England—Good applause,
spin and again repeated)—to shriek from no sacrifioe,
is spare no sae/tons for • successful prosecution of
the war. (Renewed applause.) Justice to our soldiers, who
for our sakes have shed their blood like water ; fidelity to
our anise, who have united heart and hand with us in the
contest; desire to uphold the prestige of our name; our feel-
lug and desire for pesos being that it shall be a just and
satisfactory one, as the essential condition of • return te
peace ; regard for the honour, the safety, and the pros-
perity of this country, appear to us as terms not only so
clear and decisive as to carry conviction to every mind, but
I believe as to spieled, all possible differenses of opinion.
With regard to the future, there can be, I apprehend, no
doubt that the feeling of this country is a sincere
desire for an early attainment of a safe, an ho-
nourable, and satisfactory pease. (Applause.) I believe
it is the settled and calm determination of the people of
this country and the unanimous opinion of the assembly
which I have now the honour to address, to prosecute the
war in the most vigorous manner until we obtain the pent
objects whisk first originated it. (Applause.) With regard
to what those terms shall be, doubtless terms of peace must
always vary with the ever shifting incidents of war, but of
this I am satisfied, that as you went to war for the establish-
ment of international law, for the vindication of public
liberty, as you have conducted it with the highest and most
exalted souses*, so you will maintain it to the end with the
same spirit, resolved to obtain the objects for which you are
engaged in the conflict, and determined to maintain your
muse to the end. (Applause.) Gentlemen, it is impossible
for us to form any coneeption of the terms on which peace
may be eventually concluded; but of this I am sore, that
wb it shall be possible, wh terms shall be
offered which give to you that satisfaction fur which you
entered into the fight, it will be the duty of every man, what-
ever his station, without reference to any other object, to bear
in mind that having straggled for the purpose of vindicating
&aortas liberty and sustaining the honour of England, to
determine that the question should proceed no farther.
(Hear, bear.) Gentlemen, this being, I believe, the nal-
venal feeling of the people of England, 1 look forward with
earnest hope to the time when, by the blessing of Providenee
on the valiant exertions of our soldiers, the gallantry of our
sailors, and the wisdom of our politiciaas, the enemy
will submit to just and satisfactory terms of pease. I trait
that we shall then sheathe the sword, having added another
chaplet to the untarnished laurels of England, having via-
diosted before Europe, first the forbearance with which
you entered upon the war, and neat the is vincible obstiaacy
—which is the inborn virtue of the British people—with
which you maintained it, until at last, with a firm
sense of public duty, and regard for justice, you may
be permitted to claim it. If this should be the fruits of your
strata, you will have added another page to the glorious
history of England—you will have achieved another title to
the highest place in the records of fame:
rot there stand heroes, who thresgh loud alarms
In Moody Seeds punted renown in arm;
Sae chief were those who sot for glory fought,
But with their toll their people's mkt, bought.
Gentlemen, that this may be the glorious part reserved for
England must be the sincere prayer and earnest desire of
every man who has witnessed, as we have witnessed, those
unparalleled deeds of valour performed by the army and
navy of Eagles& which have added, in the course of the
present year, imperishable glory to our name.
The boa gentleman sat down amid loud applause.

At the Lincoln PO ice-cour , on Saturday, Mason
eaperiatendeat of police, said, having had a search warrant
put into his hands, he went to Best's mill, where he found
two bags and part of a beg of white powder where the grind•
ing was going on, with a quality of rice, 36 basso( which
he found in the warehouse, and there were three empty
sacks which had contained some sort of white powder.
There were shoo four or five stone of alum. In another
part of the mill there 11 empty rice begs, and one bag of
ground rice. He west to Mr. Eut, jun , who said be used
the white powder for some starch works at Nottingham.
Ho had mined the rice with flour, which was not coatrary
to law, as it was wholesome food% a qotern of rice he
triad with u
with a rue:tens of wheat. He was surprised to bear
Ithat sham bog been found in the mill; he had once disco-
!mud that kis late manager, Car*, bad used alum,
but immediately he beard of it be ordered its discos-
timianes, and he was not swore that there bad been
any left w the presabss. Mr. East also added that the
whits powder was °Maimed from Derby, but it was not
plaster of Paris. Me. Andrew, the magistrates' clerk, said
deaths isformatien ea which the warrant had been issued
\sabots glue; by a discharged servant of Mr. Rest. Dr.
Swipe" ea being felled, said be had received seven pack-
ages from the police, bet he had only partially seausineell
thou. The magistrates' clerk then advised the bench that
it would be bettor to adjourn the ease. Notwithstanding
the advice of the nrigistrates' clerk, Mr. East, sealer, is.
slated on giving an explanation. He said that tie starch
flour was manufactured is the same place as the flour sold*
the public, bet with a diffuses pair of stones. They had
large works at Nottingham, where they sent
starchfloored, which was gaits different to the other, sad
could not be used by anybody for making breed. He sold
that he had not himself anything to do with the Mills
I;
wily calling in sometime* bemuse his son was %swell.
reply to • queues from the bench, Mr. Andrew stated that
the set of parliament pave them power to search any mill.
aced if any ingredients for :alio; with the flour were found,
they had the power to destroy tt.em and then to lay en in-
tensities for the penalties.-11w11 Hereli.
Os Tuesday the case we. again brought forward, sad it
appears from the Sissifurd Meevwy, that after a long
euminatice, the magistrates retired to consult, sad upon
asturnieg Mr. Bruser said they were of °polka thst the
powder found on the premises was there for the purpose of
being milted with flour for dome,tio use; that they ma.
demised that flour whieh wee proved to contain it; that
they ordered the alum sad the rim te be gives op to Mr.
East; and that informatious be taken against M. East,
first for having is his mill the terra alba and flour mired
with it, sad secondly for supplying Mr. Cuittia with flour
with whieKterre alba was mined.
Mr. East was then introduced, sad by the advice of Mr.
Tweed pleaded guilty to both charges. Mr. Tweed thee
raid the question was one of penalty. It would only he a
Mate of time to again combat the evidence upon which
Ms magistrates had come to a eonclasioe, sad think?*
be bad advised Mr. East to plead guilty; although Mr.
&et bad declared to him that he we. perfectly ignorant
lel Iles fact of the white earth being mired with
' dinasetie Amt. Their worships had condemned a large
quality of flour, which would a serious lees and hardship.
Mr. East was the victim of his men. The flour sized with
other matters to prevent its being sold for human food would
sell for pig feed. The magistrates then imposed a fine of
101. in each ease, and 21. 3e. 2d. oasts is gush tees. Mr.
Tweed said the value of the ocedemeed flour was 2001.
Ilia months ago this paper (Sfowiford Morewry) warned
the people of Lincoln that a preparstios of gypsum was
being constantly brought to the milers to be mired with
human food. The sleuthing tampering with human health
sad life for money profit is now established. For months is
Lincoln stomach complaints have tortured the people, sad
posited the medical men bow thole complaints °ticketed.
