The Birmingham Post of to-day thus describes
the interruption which occurred at the commencement of
Mr. Bright's speech last evening :—" There was some little
disturbance at the commencement of the meeting—attri-
buted, whether rightly or wrongly, to some few foollah
members of the Liberal Conservative Association, who
laboured under the delusion that, by persistent clamour,
they could ' put down Bright.' The Chairman, with
some perseverance, got through his short speech without
any very great difficulty. As soon as Mr. Bright rose,
some half-a-dozen persons at the back of the floor
began shouting—perhaps barking would better ex-
press it. An effort was made by their neigh-
bours to silence them, and a good deal of confusion
followed. Mr. Bright waited very patiently, once
or twice essaying in vain to obtain silence. The great
majority of the audience for • long time imitated his
patience. At last they could endure it no longer. In
about as short • time as it takes to read this sentence two
of the ringleaders of the disturbance on the floor were un-
ceremoniously ejected, end order was at once restored
there. Then some foolish fellow at the top of the orchestra
interfered. Instantly his neighbours turned upon him.
For a moment he was seen protesting ; than a number of
gentlemen were seen politely bowing ; the next moment
the disturber had disappeared. From that time perfect
silence reigned, and Mr. Bright began and closed his
speech without interruption."
Nearly 300 Irish people—men, women, and
