Au suti-davery conference was held in a committee-morn of
the Free-trade Flail, yesterd► morning, for the purport, of
edepting amply to the address of the Preach minis-
ters sad pastors. The chair was taken by the
Rev. Kr. Slate, the senior representative of the

turbance and opposition, but it proceeded from compare-
tirlily few permits.

But those riots took place sight years ago, and he hoped
there was a great program in public opinion since then.
Tier should decide on the merits of the bill from facts and
evidence, and is his opinion the facts and evidence went to
prove the expediency of adopting it.
Mr. PACK!? said he thought that the measure might be
viewed in relation to three classed of preens —the abstainers,
the codirmed drunkards, and the sober classes of the cow-
enmity. With respect to the last class be would at coos
any lie thought this measure, if it became law, would be one
of the moat tyrannical ever passed by the House of Commons.
(Hear.) He considered it to be a groelthecimen of class legis-
lation. (Hear.) The total abstainers would not be affected
sue tete or the other ; but the sober and moderate people
would lie most shamefully used. (Hear, bear.) how great j
was the majority of thou who used the public-house on I
deuday merely for the purpose of getting • solitary glee of ,

by the use of the word intoxicating. But drinks were not !

hear.) Liquors did not intoxicate him (Mr. Parke),
or auy one who took them in moderation.
(Hear. hear.) Illustrations had been drawn from
the le king of the Forbes Mackenzie Act in Scotland.
Bit the habits of the Scotch and English were widely dil-

was ,essed to check the enormous consumption of whisky.
It was a fallacy to suppose that because partial closing had
worked so well, therefore entire closing would be meow-
paned by still greater benefits. If be believed that the
seaman would be really attended by greater sobriety be
should he the first to support it; but be believed that its
gaily effect would be to punish sober men by a most
tyrannical excludoe. (Hear, hear. )
