biz constituents on Tuesday evening, and addressed them
at some length, in the Mechanics' Institute of that town.
He avows himself a staunch supporter of the present
government, and an admirer of their foreign as well
as of their domestic policy. He appears to be some.
what irritated at the rumour that has been in circulation
regarding his resignation, and denounces it as an " un-
mitigated lie." With regard to Mr. Brassey, the intro-
duction of has mine on the present mouton appears to be
the result of negotiations that have been is progress ever
' since the late election, for the purpose of providing am-
ooed candidate whenever a vacancy should occur. It was
contemplated that he should be presented to the electors
of Devonport on the occasion of Sir Arthur Buller meeting
