DEPARTURE OF MR. DIRRARLI PION ERIN-
Mituii.—The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mt%
Disraeli left Edinburgh on Friday morning for London,
travelling by the Waverley and Feet Coast routes. Shortly
after 10 o'clock, Mr. and Mrs. Disraeli, accompanied
by the Loral Advocate and the Misses Gordon, arrived
in a carriage and pair at the Waverley-bridge termi-
nus, where they were received by Lord Provost Cham-
bers and Major-General Hamilton, C. 8., Commander of
the Forces in Scotland. Inside the station, a crowd,
numbering from 9910 to 300. had assembled to wit-
aces the departure of the distinguished visitors. The
presence of two policemen and several railway
officials, was insufficient to repress the curiosity
manifested by the assemblage to see " the leader
of the Tory party." \Mile the Chancellor of the
Exchequer stood on the platform talking familiarly
with the ladies and gentlemen above mentioned, the
crowd, continually receiving fresh accessions, somewhat
rudely surged to sad fro, hemming the party In on every
side so closely that the private conversation was distinctly
overheard by many not unwilling listeners. On entering
the saloon carriage along with Mrs. Disraeli and Mr.
Corry, his private secretary, Mr. Disraeli was heartily
cheered, and when the train moved off at 10.20, a @nailer
compliment was paid him, which be ecenteously ac-
knowledged. Our Dunbar correspondent writes :—" As
It was known from the morning (Friday) papers that
the Chancellor of the Exchequer would pass this
way in the forenoon, a large number of the townsfolk.,
Including Provost Purvis and other ladies and gentle-
men, awaited the arrival of the train at the station.
When the train entered it was seen that the right
hon. gentleman was in the saloon , which was im-
mediately surrounded by the crowd, an sonic. one having
proposed three cheers for her blajesty's ministers, Mr.
Disraeli let down the window of the carriage, and thanked
them kindly for the compliment. Mr. Knox, bookseller,
stepped forward and said, " Dunbar supports Disraeli
" I'll mind that," replied the right hon. gentleman, and
he afterwards put several questions regarding the wishes
of the people with respect to the proposed amalgamation
of the Haddington burghs with the border towns. Mr.
Croton, painter, said they desired to be let alone, and was
enured by the right hon. gentleman that "he would do
his beat for them." After chatting freely and laughing at
some of the remarks, just as the train was moving off, be
called out, " Any more hints, gentlemen ?" No more, of
eourse, were tendered, but three ringing cheer. were sent
after the right bon. gentleman as the train moved out
of the station. —Seutemon.
Tux 1111..Lstuntin-i.6 MEETING. —The Northam
Whig writes of this demonstration :—'• The Numbers at
the Hillsborough Meeting.—We anticipated yesterday
that there would be ' the greatest exaggeration' of the
numbers attending the late meeting at Hillsborough, but
we must admit that we had no conception of the ludicrous
extent to which the exaggeration would run. Our esti-
mate at 6,000 to 7,000 persons we believe to be the most
accurate that has been made by anyone. Of the fact that
at no time during the day were there more than three
thousand persons in the front of the platform we are quite
satisfied, for the means taken to count the numbers were
sufficient to ensure a very close approximation to the real
;lumber. We adhere to our statement that the total
attendance was between six and seven thousand,
and was nearer the former figure than the latter.
We are bound, in justice to the conservative jour-
nal'', to say that only one, and that one, of course, in
Belfast, has attempted such a monstrous mis-statement,
The Irish Tones states its impression of the numbers as
15,000, The Daily Express goes the length of 26,000. The
Saunders's NempLetler says there were 5,000 to 6,000 on
sad around the platform.' The Ere/ring Mai/ follows the
Deiie Erprees. The liberal papers do not agree, and yet
do not vary very widely from our estimate. It will be
Interesting and amusing to tabulate the opinions of our
camemporariaa :—Our own estimate is 6,000 to 7,000 ; the
Denser of Lister, 5,000 to 8,000; the Ulster Olverrer,
5.000 ; Saunders 's l'f.,a-Letter, 5,000 to 6.000 ; the Pm-
sass's lemma, 5,000 ; the Erening Post, 4,000; the Irish
TIM% 15,000; the Doily Egress, 20,000; the Remits!,
Mail, 20,000; the &Out Arles-Letter, 40,000! This is
tIJ
orwhat everyone would expect, and need no further
