zeta teto,Oop
There bey., of comes, beenmaity insiegari under 'di!.
!mast beads of service which I have 'sat antuled to; at
they have been met by ding reductions 'under
other heads, but I believe that e above statements give
a fair amount of the real causes of the increased esti-
mates. Now, es regards the army expenditure, you
must remember that before the change of govment
took place the War-office had determined to convert the
small arms into breech-loaders, but Sanely any provision
had been made in the estimates for that purport. That
the difficulty of recruiting the army had become so great
as to induce the then government to appoint a com-
mission to report upon the subject, and that the commis-
sion made recommendations entailing a very great in-
creme in the estimates. That the forts built by the late
government were without armaments. Now what have
been the results of the inc eased expenditure P 1. As
regards small arms the operation of conversion will be
nearly completed by the end of this year lAs regards
recruiting the army, the extra pay 'has induced no fewer
than 28,600 veteran troops to 1113-400.111 themselves. 3.
As regards arming the forts, 287 pieces of ordnance have
been provided (part of which was estimated for by the
late government), and of these 142 are already mounted.
Then, with respect to the navy, I would call your atten-
tion to the statement made by Sir John Pakington in the
Home of Commons, on August 4, 1886, in answer to
Hr. Graves :—" I regret to state I find the re-
serves by no means in a satisfeetory condition,
or, indeed, in such a state as T had a right to
find them, so much so that the Admiralty has
great difficulty in finding relief for the ships that return
from foreign service." It would be impossible, within the
limits of a letter, to contrast the state of the navy now
with what it was two years ego ; but if you will read the
speech of Hr. Corry, in moving the navy estimates on May
11 th of this year, I think you will be satisfied that greet
advances have been made towards efficiency. Lastly,
with respect to the civil Nereids expenditure. With the
exception of a large increase in the 'votes for education
end Kamm and art, and of a grant towards the Glasgow
University balding. I am not aware that the protest
government can be seharged with burdening the tax-
payers of the country to a greater amount than was neces-
sary to complywith the provinces of recent acts of the
legislature, and to carry out the engagements entered into.

men would have a home for their bona,. and a resting place
teat themselves. Either the railway couiptunia ought to do
the, or the government ought to prays.° proper stands ;
;and With a view to obtain what they utteded lie urged the
meeting to unanimity and resolution. (i:ueent.)
lir. W. Ceocixe, the @secretary, followed, and complained
of the manner in which they had ben trwited by the
troaatenies. The lint letter of the trade having met with
. no satisfactory response a MOO& was written, in auswerto
which they had been bald that y had out a threat. Well,
pm haps they did ; but inesasuch ate no other course was
open to them, he was proud to see that they were premed
nut only to hold out a threat, but to carry it out.
(loud cheers.)
Mr. WILLBT Lova, • proprietor, moved the following
resolution That as the Metropolitan Railway Cotn-
Ironies have declined to do away with the railway privilege
system of greeting to certain hackney carriage proprietors
lease for plying at the various railway bilious, but with-
out giving any proper reams' for so doing, we, the pro-
prietors and diners, hereby pledge ourselves to maU a
definite stand against such an unjust monopoly, injurious
to the hackney carriage trade, useless to the publie, and
only beneficial to the railway oompan:es' who receive
annually about 12,0E411. for granting such privilege and
retain in their possession about 2,0001. deposit money."
This he supported in an energetic speech, in whir:Use con-
' tended that cab-driving ought to be a free trade
in a free country. (Loud cheers.) This was supported
by Mr. Wm. Case and Mr. Gulliver (both propnetors),
a hose general line of argument was that tho street tithe
r were subject to the same polies inspection and regulations
as the privileged caws, and were, as a rule, equal if not
-superior to any plying at a station. If, at any rate, they
were in a fit state to take a fare to a station, they were
equally fit *bring one away ; that the privileged cabs
r were not nearly sufficient to accommodate the paieengere
coming by rail, and Whenever there was an excess ofc
adages the conthartywere compelled to resort tolls t
cabs, and that it was unjust that a eoevenience .held
made of them on such °minima when at other times. the
wer notperiniftedtosmtera on. That the public would
ter bee ted by doing away with the monopoly, War*,
. would always thee have a sufficient supply of th e
Station's. That the public would be further ben if
albs thonopthy was done away with, as it would grevpat
the streets from being crowded with empty cabs not.per-
mitted to remain at thethationaj and also with the empty
privileged cabs ashirning to the stations; 'and that eili the
horses would have rest at the stations, they wreath bath a
bytter condition to tiring • tare away.
Mx. EtKEZ*IIIE PIRILOR, " the cabman's friend," and the
president of-their sorority, then moved the foll,owiag,nno-
latices :—" We, the nos-privileged .hackney oernene pro-
prietor, and (WIWI, in cenjenetion with many- ha erg
strarranwaypardege, -resolve not to enter any *Amy
Mustier% er pat on any cab-stand near a station, far the
purpose of plying for hire, on and after Saturday, the 29th
of August inst., until the railway companies shall throw
open their stations to all hackney camages (subject ally
to proper traffic regulations), and we pledge ourselves riot
to allow any of our cabs to ply for hire before eleven
o'clock in the morning, and that night cabs be home at
two o'clock the following morning, unless the oompanies will
accede to our request within six days, we furtherpledge
ourselves to withdraw our cabs from the streets." ( tfteers.)
It might be said that the proposed measure was rather
harsh ; but every reasonable measure had been tried
without success, and nothing else remained. It had been
said that the cabmen could not crush the lamps ; but they
had crushed them; and in lees than a fortnight they
would be in the station yards. (Loud cheers.) They
intended to allow the privileged cabs to sweep the streets
and to gather all the fares they could, while
they (the non-privileged men) were eating their
eggs and bacon—Qaughter)—for they had men behind
them such as Mr. Mayhew, Mr. Locke, and Mr.
Saunders, who had large purees, and would see
that they were provided with the means. (Cheers.)
Recollect that to-morrow no man went out till eleven.
(Loud cheers.) He had no doubt that, with tho
exception of a few crawling sycophants, the
resolution would be observed ; and to-morrow the
passengers who came by the night trains would hove
to walk for the good of their health. (Laughter.) If this
did not effect the desired object, there was something else
behind. Perhaps the meeting would! like to know what
it was ; but for the present it must be kept back. Let
the drivers, however, be satisfied that the committee knew
how to attack the enemy in his stronghold, and depend
upon it they would succeed. (Loud cheers.)
An ex-privileged driver, named Brass, complained of
what he called the " marrying" system—that was to say,.
the ryststm of one privileged cab taking two fares out of
the station, while there were plenty of cabs outside wait-
ing for employment (Cheers.)
A number of other drivers also spoke in support of
the resolution, which was carried unanimously ; and
The meeting, which was of an extremely orderly
character, concluded with the usual formalities.

THE LONDON HOOPITAL.—Last evening a met-
ing, convened with the view of raising subscriptions in aid
of the funds of the London Hospital, was held in the
Working Men's-hall, West Ham-lane, Stratford. Mr. IL
Wingfield Baker, one °tithe candidates for the Ca-
tion of the oessaiy of -Essex, presided. The in
opening the business of the evening, dwelt upon the im-
portame of maintaining an institution hike the London
Hospital in a thorough state of efficiency. The imbiber
of in-patients was about 423, and the a stay of each
was six weeks, thus givin6rea+oteral of 4, in-patients
every year. Mr. Bullion
of the hospital) said
that every inch of room in thebuilding was occupied for
the purposes of the hospital; indeed, the primers anirthe
institution had been so great daring the lint fern years
that the authorities were compelled to put beds in entry
hob sad corner, as it were. The result of this preemie
had been the addition of needy:loo beds. Thera are bow
over 440 in the hospital, and as each bed. duets
on the average 601. per year, an extra expendi-
ture of 6,000!. per annum had bean ineunred,
