wars. He made a moat eloquent harangue in explanation of the
Combination Laws; but as him remarks were, in nascence, the

Mr. flookisson and Mr. Wilmot Horton were elected honorary
=mixes of the Club, amid the most deafening cheers. The visit
of Thursday night must have been one of the most gratifying our
able iletwesentative has yet experienced. The angry feelings that
