EARLY CLOSING ASSOCIATION.

A public demonstration of the friends and imp-
porters of the/tut London early closing movement took place
List evening at the Beaumont Institution, Mile-end. The
proceedings, as usual at these meetings. consisted partly
of speeches and partly of a musical entertainment, the
choir being composed of a hundred voices, and the various
glees, part songs and choruses being performed under the
able direction of Mr. Jules Benedict.
Mr. C. lien) occupied the chair, and among the gen-
tlemen on the platform were the Rev. C. Stove, the Rev.
J. Kennedy, Captain Campbell, Messrs. Ling, Walker,
Wickham, Bonn, G. Walton, and various other gentle-
men, invading some of the largest shopkeepers of the dis-
trict. Around the room were suspended conspicuously
printed placards, earnestly entreating ladies and the public
generally to discontinue shopping upon Saturday after-
noons.

The Chairman having taken the chair,
Mr. WALL, the secretary of the local association, read a
short statement of the operations of the East London
branch. The committee thankfully acknowledged the
support of the clergy and several of the influential inha-
bitants in favour of the movement, and they mentioned
with peculiar pleasure that afforded by Messrs. J. Crane
and Co., and Messrs. Venable. and Sons. The statistics
of the district showed that the woollen drapers and iron-
mongers closed at 7, the linendrapers at 8, and one (Mr.
Venables) at 7, the grocers and oheesemongers at 9, the
hosiers at 9.30 and 10, the clothiers from 8.30 to 9.30, the
ls.otmakers from 9to 9.30, and the hatters at 9 p.m. In
summer the hours were a little later, the actual hour of
release for the saidetents being nearly 10 at night. On
Saturdays Messrs. Venable. closed at 2, and the other
woollen drapers at 3 ; the leading ironmongers of White-
chapel closed at 6, and the linendrapers from sto 7. In
other trades the hours of closing were 11 and 12 at night.
He added that there were in the East of London about
3,000 assistants of both sexes, whose average time of re-
lease from labour was 930 oa ordinary nights, and about
11 p.m. on Saturdays. The object of the movement was
to obtain the closing of all the principal establishments at
7 in the winter and 8 in the summer.

The Ciwasurr, in a short and effective address, reite-
rated the arguments so often urged in reference to the ad-
vantages of early closing, condemning that great "greed
for gain" which indu.wd so many shopkeepers to keep open
their shops far later than they should be, and pointed to
the fact that those who had adopted the early closing
system had not in any degree suffered in trade a a great
encouragement to the supporters of the movement.
The Rev. J. Ktivrreair also addressed the meeting. He
deplored the fact that within the last year some of the
shopkeepers of the neighbourhood, who were formerly
sup-
porte of early closing, had returned to their old bad
ways, and now kept open as late as ever. He saw no
reason, in the depression of trade, for keeping open later,
for it seemed to him that the less trade there was the
shorter was the time necessary to do it in, and therefore
the more reason for closing early.
The Rev. C. Stovel, Captain Campbell, Mr. Contend,
Mr. T. Wickham, and Mr. C. A. Ling addressed the meet-
ing, the speeches being interspered with various glees and
choral pieces.
A cordial vote of thanks to the chairman, and also to
Mr. Benedict for his services in conducting the choir,
concluded the proceedings, which passed off in a very
satisfactory manner.

THE IRISH LAND QUESTION.—The report of
the Select Committee of the House of Lords on the Tenure
Ireland) Bill, to whom was referred the report from the
Select Committee of the House of Commons (of 1565) on
Tenure and Improvement of Land (Ireland), has been pub-
lished, together with the proceedings of the committee and
minutes of evidence. The committee say that they have,
so far as time has permitted (the report is dated August
2), carefully considered the bill referred to them, and have
heard much and important evidence, as well with refer-
ence to it as to the general subject of land tenure in Ire-
land. The witnesses were impartially chosen and com-
bined much experience in the management of land with
an intimate knowledge of the condition generally of the
agricultural classes. The subject matter of the bill is,
however, of so much complexity and diflizulty that the
cou.inittee confine themselves to reporting the evidence,
and recommending that the committee be reappointed at
as early a period of next session as practicable.
STRAND UNION, ST. ANN'B, SOHO. —A meeting
of the representative vestry of this portion of the Strand
Union took place last night at the vestry room, Dean-
street; Rer. N. Wade, rector, in the chair. After the
ordinary business of the meeting had been transacted, Mr.
S. Bourn, Oxford-street, formerly a guardian, rose and
moved the following resolution, accompanying it with
some severe strictures on the conduct of the guardians of
the Strand Union, who had moved Dr. Rogers' suspen-
sion :—" That this vestry, having heard with surprise and
regret that the guardians of the Strand Union have sus-
pended Dr. Rogers from the performance of his duty as
medical othoer of the workhouse upon charges which do not
imply any neglect of the sick, but some supposed disrespect
of, and antagonism to them, causes which we consider very
inadequate for so grave a proceeding, and having had
the opportunity of knowing during many years the zeal
and assiduity with which Dr. Rogers has performed his
duty for the benefit of th 6 sick and suffering, trust that
your honourable board will immediately restore him to
that position which be has so long, faithfully, honestly,
and usefully occupied." This was bristly seconded by Mr.
Charles Wakeling, senior churchwarden, and carried una-
nimously. It was then moved by Mr. Mummery, Oxford-
street, and seconded by Mr. Pratt—" That a copy of this
resolution be forwarded by the vestry clerk to the Right
Hon. Earl Devon, President of the Poor-law Board."
Several gentlemen commented strongly on the conduct of
the guardians in reference to the personal ill-feeling which
had been shown by several of them towards Dr. Rogers.
Ties PROPOSED FENIAN DEMONSTRATION AT
LIVERPOOL.—A consultation took plate yesterday between
the mayor, the police, and the naval and military officers,
and arrangements were made topromptly stop any attempt
to form a procession within the borough on Sunday next.
It is, however, believed that no breach of the peace will
occur, though a number of the resident Irish will probably
walk in precession outside the town boundaries. The
Liverpool police yesterday received information that the
Glasgow Irish had threatened a demonstration next Sun-
day and in the coiner, of the day the arrangements made
in ,
Liverpool under similar circumstances were telegraphed
to the t;laagow authorities.
PROPOSED FINIAN FUNERAL DEMONSTRATION AT
Lieut.—lt has been determined by a number of Irishmen
residing in Leeds to evince, by means of • funeral proces-
sion, their feeling with respect to the recent execution of
Allen, Larkin, and Gould, at Manchester. This demon-
stration of their disapproval of the conduct of the govern-
ment in the matter, and of their sympathy with the rela-
tives of the unfortunate men and the cause they espoused, is
to take place on Sunday next. A placard bearing the sub-
joined announcement, within • deep black border, has this
morning been very extensively posted in various partsof the
borough; though, of course, most freely in those portions
of the town in which the bulk of the natives of Ireland
reside—the East, the North-East, and Kirkgate Wards.
The placard runs as follows :—" God nave Ireland. A
public funeral procession in honour of the Irish patriots
executed at Manchester, Nov. 2:3, will take place in Leeds
on Sunday next, Dec. 15, 1567. The procession will
assemble in Vicar's Croft, and will start at two o'clock
p.m., and parade the principal street. to Saint Patrick's
Cemetery. All lovers of Ireland, men and women, are
requested to attend and show their respects to the me-
awry of their fellow-countrymen." We understand that
the procession is likely to be a very large one, and, it IS
hoped, very orderly. It will be preceded by • hearse
drawn by six homes, and will be aosompanied by • beam
band,which will doubtless perform " The Deed March"
in Sae:, and other appropriate music. The attention of
the police authorities has been drawn to the matter, but it
is not at present known what steps, it soy, they will take
ia respect to it.—Leeds E./prat.
