The speed' of Mr. Beazley at the great London
meeting of the Shipping Interest, a corrected
report of which we give to-day, is acknowledged
to have- been one of the most important addresses
delivered on that interesting occasion—nay, we
have heard it described as literally TILE speech of
the meeting. Even the opponents of the British
Shipping Interest admit, that " Mr. Beazley
brought forward crushing arguments" es-
pecially when he read, and with so much
force commented upon, passages of letters
written by Mr. Lindsay, ' clearly show-
ing that the honourable member for Sunder-
land, although an Englishman, for his. own inte-
rest's sake is quite ready to give a preference to
American over 'English Shipping. No wonder
thit such an argument as this, so practical, so
irresistible, should create a great excitement in
the meeting. Of course, the feeling of the great
body of the meeting was with Mr. Beazley ; yet
it required no Slight nerve to proceed so vigo-
rously as he did with his argument, in the face
of so much excitement as there arose whilst he
was speaking. This circumstance, to say nothing
else, gives a peculiar interest to Mr. Beazley s
speech. It may be read and re-read, we are sure,
by all who are interested. in the -shipping ques-
tion, with profit, if not with pleasure.
The great Financial Reform Demonstration,
which the Liverpool Association has been so
sedulously cultivating for many weeks past, tcok
place last night in the Philharmonic Hall. The
object of the meeting was a counter demonstra-
tion to the triumphant success which had attended
the great Derby Banquet, held five weeks ago, in
the same hall. The display of last night viewed
in' this aspect was a . miserable failure. To sus-
tain its greatly trumpeted importance, a show was
made of the leading Reformers of Liverpool, who
were sure to be,present. As the time for trial came
on, however, the muster-roll became more uncer-
tain—the flame began to waver, and then flickered
down to a mere humble wick expiring in its
socket. Yesterday, it was early rumoured that
the chair would not be honoured by the incum-
bency of Mr. Robertson Gladstone—it had been
previously known that Mr. Cobden would not be
present. At the muster those were found not to
be the only absentees who ,had been expected to
grace the hall. Apology after apology was read
by request of the gentleman who had been fallen
back on as Mr. Robertson Gladstone's substitute,
and as each successive missive in its dolorous
tones fell on the ears of the disappointed auditory
the. scene became more and more dull. In reality,
however; one " live lord" had been entrapped
into the company, and he (Lord Teynham) was
of course made the most of. He seemed to feel
that his role was to " go for all he was in for," and
he accordingly declared. for th
