The accommodation provided at the Liverpool
banquet on Seturd►y for the reporters from the London
newspaper. wee of the wont possiblo description, and the
treatment they received such ea they have never before ex-
perienced in any other town in the three kingdoms. Having
tunnel more then 200 miles to discharge a responsible duty,
they were parcelled off in seats behind the chairmen, where
it was extremely difficult to hear, ►nd allowed by the banquet
committee, as perhaps an 'likely. privilege, to survey the
progress of the feast without participating in It. "In a
wry, however," says the /bar, "bringing to mind Chester-
&l4's treettnent of Johnson, a table was spread in a cold
public psasage or ante•r tom, on which, an hour after Arch-
deacon Jones had eeld grace at the banquet, two tureens of
soup, with two table spoons, the remains of a piece of bet,
and a few other crumbs of food were displayed, together wi^ h
won wine, The feeling being that the (viaduct of the corn-
mittes was derogatory to the repretentativis of the preys, end
deserving of ceneure, a resolution to that effect was unani-
mously adopted and transmitted to the chairman. Alb,-
wards eternal rep Jrtere at.ught refreshment at ■ nelgithounng
hostelry, cal others declined to avail themselves of the ' en-
tertainmeoe which the cimituittee had provided."

to destractioa.
