MEMORIAL TABLET TO THE LATE LORD PALMER-
eorfstvvoneshtasminjsutesrt
STON IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY.—A neat and beautiful
Abbey, and being,it is,• as
the late Premier, it will serve to point out to the pre-
sent and future generations tho exact spot where his re-
mains are deposited. The memorial consists of a massive
ain"osrcdorinaelmr"
slab of beautifully polished granite, neatly and effectively
ornamented round the borders with flower work. It is
about eight feet long by three wide, and in the centre a
large cross has been cut info the slab. The only inscrip-
tion is the plain and simple one of "Henry John, Viscount
Palmerston. Oct. 18, 1865." No preparation has yet been
made in the Abbey for the statue which is to be erected to
the memory of Lord Palmerston, but it is expected that
it will be placed there in the latter end of this or the early
part of next year. The present memorial can be seen any
day after divine service, the space where it is situate being
kept clear for that purpose.
REFORM DEMONSTRATION AT SHEFFIELD.—On
Monday night a meeting of the working men of
Sheffield was held in the Paradise-square, to consider the
conduct of the Government in reference to the Hyde Park
riots. Mr. S. Plimsoll, of London and Sheffield, who is
the President of the Sheffield Reform League, took the
chair, and there were about 12,000 persons present. The
meeting was very orderly and enthusiastic. The chairman,
in an opening address, alluded to the late disturbances,
and threw the blame upon Sir Richard. Mayne and the
Government. If it were come to this, that the people of
London were to meet only when Sir R. Mayne thought
proper, we might write ourselves down Prussians at once,
minus their superior education, and minus the intellect and
sagacity of Bismark. He could not see that the people of
London should yield to such a Puppet as Sir R. Mayne.
Councillor Skelton moved a resolution, expressing the
deep indignation of the meeting at the conduct of the
Government in attempting to suppress a public meeting
in, Hyde Park, and declaring the employment of the police
and the military to be "unjustifiable, tyrannical, and
unconstitutional, and deserving of the severest censure."
Mr. Fillingham (tailor), who seconded the resolution,
taunted the aristocracy with a desire to keep the people
out of the park, while they at the same time did not blush
to be seen there with women of questionable character.
Tne resolution having been carried, Councillor Woodcock
(" herbalist") moved the second, thanking the Reform
League for the manner in which it had advocated the
rights of the working classes, and pledging the meeting
to support them in their efforts to bring the question of
right to a legal issue. A person named Ilibbert seconded
the resolution, which was also carried. The third
resolution, which was in favour of manhood suf-
frage and the ballot, and declaratory
of an utter want of
confidence in the present Government, was supported by
Mr. Edmond Beales, of London, who was received with
protracted applause. In concluding a long speech he said
ho held that it was the duty of the police to have protected
the proposed meeting in Hyde Park from being dis-
turbed by disorderly characters. He believed that already
the London police was becoming too much a military
power, and the danger was increased when they saw par-
tisan magistrates condoning and palliating the worst ex-
cesses upon the part of that police, and actually refusing
relief to persons who bad been seriously injured by them
without their having given the least provocation. He
utterly denied any intention on the part of the League to
overawe the Parliament or the Government, and said that
the meeting was simply for the purpose of refuting the
base falsehoods that had been heaped upon the people,
and of clearly proving the national feeling on the subject
of Reform. Mr. 11. Horner moved a vote of thanks to Mr.
Beales, which was seconded' by Mr. Thomas Orton, and
carried with reiterated cheers. Mr. Beales responded at
some length, but darkness had come on, and the crowd be-
gan to disperse rapidly. A large portion accompanied Mr
Beales to his hotel, cheering loudly the while.
