On Monday Superintendent Green arrived- at
Sheerness with a strong body of Kent County Con-
stabulary, collected from the Evershath and Sit-
tingbourne districts, and waited upon the Cora-
' wander-in-Chief and the commanding officer of the
- North Cork Rifles. The fatter pledged himself that
none of_his.men should .be allowed to leave. their
barracks, and it was anticipated that all would go
well that evening. At dusk, however, a body of
militiamen, going outside the fortifications, came
into the town by Queenborough-wall. They first
attacked a poor fisherman while going to his boat;
which was lying near the wall, and beat him so
severely about his head and -face with their sticks
that hardly a feature remains distinguishable. They
• then rushed into the town and commenced breaking
the windows of the Fountain Hotel. At the time
they were thus engaged a piquet of 100 Cork Rifles,
under the charge of a commissioned office; was
drawn up before the hotel,' and stood silent specta-
tors of the acts of their comrades: The men then pro-
ceeded to, demolish the doors, shutters, andifta. dows
of a number of other houses ; and as it was found
that none of the
.piquets would act to.preserve the
property or protect the persons of the townsfolk,
application was made to the Royal Artillery for
'assistance. Accordingly,' 100 men of this corps,
under Captain Wragge, were despatched in aid of
the civil authorities, and the rifle pickets were or-
dered to barracks. The Royal Artillery proceeded
forthwith to clearthe town of the militiamen, many
of whom took forcible possession of houses to evade
apprehension. The inhabitants followed the artil-
lery picket and cheered them heartily. Within
half an hour Bluetown was cleared, to the great joy
of the residents. Yesterday the chief constable of
the county force, Capt. Ruxton, and two county
magistrates arrived at Sheerness, and an investiga-
tion was instituted, at the colonel commandant's-
office, the result of which, it is hoped, will be the
immediate removal of the North Cork Rifle Militia
from Sheerness, where the cores have disgraced the
uniform they wear. Strong pickets of the artillery
were to be placed aroundthe fortifications last night
to prevent the rifles leaving barracks, and every
precaution has been taken by the commander-in,
chief.

CONSERVATIVE MEETING AT

NORWICH.

An interesting meeting of the Conservative party
of this city took place last evening, the occasion
being the anniversary meeting of the " Eldon
Loyal and Constitutional Club." The proceedings
derived some importance from tho presence of Sir
Samuel Bignold, late M.P. for Norwich, and Sir
Henry S. Stracey, formerly M.P. for East Norfolk,
and the unsuccessful. Conservative-candidate at the
recent election for that constituency.
The toast of "Her Majesty's Ministers" was, of
course, received with enthusiasm by the staunch
Conservatives present.
At a subsequent period of the evening the health
of Sir Samuel Bignold, the leader of the Conserva-

tive party in Norwich, was proposed, and received
with much applause.
Sir SAMUEL BIGNOLD, in returning thanks, said
he had been described as the leader of the Conser-
vative party in Norwich, but on the present occa-
sion he rather preferred rising as a private indivi-
dual. He thought the members of the club had
met this year under rather more auspicious circum-
stances than those under which they assembled 12
months since. They were now under the auspices
of the Earl of Derby, and he had no doubt that they
all felt that that Government was more in accord-
ance with the welfare of the country than Lord Pal-
merston's Administration. Allusion had been made
to his (Sir S. Bignold's) having once been a successful
candidate for the representation of Norwich; but at
his period of life he would rather counsel his friends to
look out for younger blood as regards the future.
Ai the same time they might.depend upon his being
true to their standard in season and out of season.
He kad been set aside in the representation of the
eity7but he did not think that the Liberals had
gained much in consequence, for on the first great
occasion on which a trial of party occurred Lord
Bury, who had taken his place, voted against the
Government of Lord Palmerston, although he knew
that if Ministers were placed in a minority they
must go out, as they could not dissolve again. Lord
Bury had voted precisely as he (Sir Samuel Bignold)
should have done if he had been in the house ; and,
therefore, the Liberals of Norwich had no great,
cause to chuckle over the loss of his seat. He con-
sidered the change of Government was very much
for the general welfare, as the commercial interests
of the country had frequently been trifled with by
men formerly in power. With regard to the
income-tax, which all felt to be a most odious and
oppres'sive impost, he had little doubt that if the
Whigs had remained in power it would have been
7d. in the pound at the present moment; but Lord
Derby had held that the expectations which
the people were led to indulge that the income-
tax should be reduced to sd. in the pound in 1858
should be carried out at all hazards, and he had
little doubt that if Lord Derby continued in power
it would be found that the tax would be far-
ther dropped to 3d. in the pound in 1859, and
that in 1860 it would be extinguished altogether.
(Cheers.) They had heard a great deal m the
public journals about the intention of the Govern-
ment to bring out a Reform Bill, but, as far as
he (Sir Samuel Bignold) could gather from the
sentiments expressed by Lord Derby on the first
evening on which he took his seat on the Treasury
bench, he made no promise to that effect as the
principle of his. Government. Lord Derby said
that the session of 1858 was not a proper time for
bringing in a Reform Bill, and as to the succeeding
year he would give the subject his most mature and
anxious consideration. He (Sir Samuel Bignold)
was not aware that Ifbrd Derby stood pledged con-
sequently to bring in a Reform Bill in the present
session. However, if the Government should de-
cide that the time had arrived for changes in the
constitution, he should have more confidence in any
change enunciated by the Earl of Derby than by
Lord Palmerston, because he believed that the
former would introduce no changes which would at
all endanger the balance of power—King, Lords,
and Commons, which had so gloriously maintained
the interests of all classes and worked so well for
the State. With regard to the condition of the
Conservative. party in Norwich he believed that
whoever they might put forward when the time of
trial came would be returned, unless their oppo-
nents entered upon a lavish expenditure of money,
an example which he should not counsel his friends
to follow. As a private individual he should be
most anxious on every Occasion to help the good
cause. (Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of Sir Henry
Stracey, " and his speedy re-election for the county
of Norfolk." (Loud cheers, and musical honours.)
Sir H. STRACEY responded. Some years had
elapsed since he had had the honour of dining with
the Eldon Club, but he remembered that the club
had pledged themselves to support him when he
came forward at a future election. The members
had since carried out their pledge like good Con-
servatives, and so .far as Norwich was concerned
had returned him by a large majority. He entered
upon the contest for East Norfolk that he might
have an opportunity of :supporting the great Con-
servative party. of this country and Lord Derby in
Parliament ; he was ambitious to serve the Conser-
vative party in the country. Having formerly
been returned most handsomely without opposition
on one occasion, he felt that he had a debt to pay
to the county if an opportunity offered of present-
ing himself as a candidate for its representation.
The opportunity did offer. As far as his own exer-
tions were concerned, he devoted all the mental and
physical power of which he was master to secure
his return ; and he- hoped to have succeeded, had
not some unfortunate events, to which he would
not further allude, intervened. Still, lie felt
proud
at having been supported by upwards of 2,700 of
the Conservative electors of Norfolk. He professed
no diplomacy, and he believed no man, of whatever
party, would say that he had ever stated that which
mh eendiddonl

fasttheby

friends,would
anred not
recom-
mend
to calculate upon those who upon critical occasions
had either shown lukewarmness, orhadbeenplaced
in the balance and found wanting. He believed
they might rely upon the Conservative party and
upon its great head, Lord Derby, for what-
ever was promised to them. Lord Derby had held
out a kind of promise as to a Reform Bill ; he had
stated that he did not approve the practice of
keeping the subject dangling before the eyes of the
country. Those were the terms of Lord Derby, and
they were enough to tell that his lordship had a
Reform Bill in his mind, and that he intended to
produce it. His (Sir H. Stracey's) firm belief was
that a Reform Bill would be produced next session.
He had.no special infoimation on the subject, and
no further reason for saying so than his firm belief
