%NORM DEMONSTRATION AT SUNIPERLAND.—The
working mete of Sunderland and the districts surrounding
the town held a great reform demonstration yesterday.
! Between 2 and 3 o'clock in the afternoon the member of
numerous trade and benefit societies assembled near the
I railway station at Monkwearmouth, and formed in
order of procession. Starting from the point of
, assembly, the procession, which consisted of at least
12,000 persons, took its way through the principal
streets of Sunderland to the Town Moor. Immense
crowds of people lined the whole route. The
afternoon was given up wholly to the demonstration ; all
shops were closed, and all business suspended. In many
of the principal streets there were numerous flags hung
across, and there was more enthusiasm manifested by all
L classes than had ever been shown at any previous demon-
stration of public feeling. There was nethiug like dinonler
to be seen anywhere, and it was noticed that policemen
; were more rarely seen even than ou ordinary occasions.
• Last evening a meeting was held in the Theatre Royal.
All the available space was occupied, and the meeting was
enthusiastic in favour of a large measure of reform. The
proceedings at the meeting were as orderly and as success-
ful as the procession loud been.
EQUALIsATION or POOR RATES. —A conference
, of gentlemen interested in the equalisation of poor rates
, in the metropolis took place yesterday ut the London
Tavern. It was called by the Tower Hamlets Association,
and the special subject for discuesion was the bill recently
introduced by the government. Mr. Lucke, MP., took
the chair ; the attendance was small. Letters were read
from Lord Enfield (who thou.ht Mr. G. Hardy's bill
worthy of support) and from several other gentlemen, who
also wrote in it. praise. The Rev. Mr. said the
bill was an important step towards nut:' g a inure equal
system of rating in the metropolis. One clause that should
be added to the government bill should provide that the
buildings it proposed to erect for the sick should be paid
for by the whole metropolis. His experience of period,' of
distress in the East-end was that the poor law invariably
broke down in cases of emergency. The remedy was to
empower the Poor-law Board to levy a rate in aid over
the while of the metropolis in case of wille.apread
distress or disease. Several speeches followed, in which the
necessity of an equalisation of poor rates was insisted
upon unanimously. Mr. Ayrton, M.P., pointed out that
the meeting ought only to make suggestions, and not pass
resolutions criticising the principle of the bill. He should
not criticise the bill himself, because if he once commenced
making objections it would be difficult to know when to
stop. He had no doubt the President of the P.m.-law
Board would listen to any suggestions that were made to
him. He advised the meeting to anive at no decision
respecting the additions or alterations which it was gene-
rally felt were required, because it might be hiving hostile
persons an opportunity of opposing the bill, which after
all must be taken as a teinponiay arrangement. Mr.
Hardy should not be discouraged in his scheme, which ut
any rate would produce a change of uietropolitan taxation;
it ought not be well considered or well devised, but as
r it was provisional the author had better be left to
pass it his own way. No doubt if the bill
were passed amendment bills would have to be
passed during subsequent years. It would probably in-
volve a waste of 100,0001 , but that was the way in which
the whole of our administration was conducted. Sir T. F.
Buxton, 81. P., agreed that nothing should be done to
hinder the passing of the measure, by the operation of
which no doubt pauperism in London would receive con-
siderable advantage. Of course there could be no harm in
waiting upon the President of the Poor-law Poen' to
urge upon him the additions that had been suggested.
During a further discussion the subject of the distress in
the FA' ot-eud was refened to, and it was warmly repro.
sented that, instead of the inhabitants of the M eaten,'
doling out alma to relieve distress, they should pay their
fair share of the poor rates, and thus enable the guardians
to relieve the ilietress now Onions upon private charity,
to the great moral detriment of many of tho
recipients. A clergyman protested against his
order being every year looked upon us the responsible
persons to dispense relief. l'ltinnitely the following IS/K •
tenon was moved by Mr. eeconded by Sir T. F.
Buxton, M.P., sod carried :-- That this meeting, while
cordially thanking Mr. Hardy for introducing his 1411, re-
' solves that a deputation should wait upon bin, for the pur-
pose of suggesting that the charge proposed to be placed
upon the common fund of the metropolis should be ex-
tended so as to include, if not the whole expenses of the
indoor nick, at least all ease. of disease repining hospital
treatment, under clause sof the bill, as also the whole of
the expenses of buildings under the act, and that a pro-
vision should be made for levying a rate in aid over the
metropolis in the event of any special emereency pressing
upon any particular district." Av.te of thanles to the
chairman was passed unanimously, and arrangements were
made for a deputation to wait upon Mr. Hardy to repre-
sent to him the wishes of the meeting.
The Orcadian, belonging to Richie Brothers, of
Liverpool, was lost near the Tusuar Lighthouse on the
Wexford coast, on Saturday night. One sailor is I oli-sing.
