Mr. Sams. had paid over 501, to the fund of the
association, but a further sum might be - ex-

which they had reason to believe would realise-a:
largo amount. As regarded the annuity received
by I\r. E. F. Saville, he had to stafe'that Mts. T.
Mart{ n, his sister (late Miss Ellen Faucit),
had fully reimbursed the society for the annuity, ,
and had declined to receive the sum for funeral ex-
pmses of its members, stating that she would take .
those charges entirely upon herself. SO that, as

LORD PALMERSTON'S FRENCH BILL.
DEMONSTRATION IN HYDE PARK.
On Sunday, Feb. 21, ISSB, at Three o'clock, p.m.

The committee, to whom the duty of arranging the pro-
ceeding was delegated by the meeting at the Freemasons'
Hall, have resolved upon the following

PROGRAMME.

1. The assembly to ha held in the open ground between
the Serpentine and the Marble Arch.
2. No speaking to be attempted. • - -
All friends of the movement and of order are earnestly
requested to regard this regulation, interference with which

saries of the French police to cause or incite others to,
b. eak the peace.
3. The following resolutions will bs submitted by sig-
nals described below :

Resolution I. That this meeting regards Lord Palmers-
ton's Conipiracy to Murder Bill As --mischievous and
unnecossary, and pledges itself to use every legal and con-
stitutional means to prevent it disgracing the English
S!atuto-bcrik. While expressing a warm and cordial
friendship for the people of Frince, this flinging protests
against the dictation of any Foreign Power in Eugli.,,h
legislation, and has learned with indignation and disgust
the conduct of the majority of the House of Commons with
r4flrence to the introduction of the measure. This meet-
ing, nevertheles3, records its strong disapprobation of
assassination, or any outrage of no I,w. • • .

ution.ll. —that a memorial to her Gracious Majesty
the Queen be adopted, praying that her Majesty will re-
move Lord Palmerston from office, and that, in the event
of the Conspiracy to Murder Bill b,:ing submitted for her
signature, she will exercise her ccnititutional right to re-
fuse to ratify a bill regarded by the people of this countr
with shame and humiliation.
4. The following will be the mode by which the fore-
going resolutions will be submitted to the meeting, viz.:—
At 3.30 the first resolution will be taken as read, and a
white signal flag will be hell up, to signify that those who
approve of it are to bold up their hands. ,The white flag
will then be waved, to indicate that the vote in favour has
been taken. Those who disapprove of the proposition will
hold up their hands when the white flag is reversed.,
Immediately afterwards a blue flag will be raised, as a
signal to vote in favour of the memorial to the Queen. The
hands to be put down when the flag is waved, and those,
whenw thehoare flag is
opposedrevtoertsheed.adoption of the memorial to vote
As soon as the votes have been taken, the committee
