In consequence, it is stated, of the numerous
complaints which have been made relative to the

I and presided over by Mr. De Gruyther, the follow-
ing resolution was passed; on the motion of Mr.
Cuthberton, seconded by Mr. Toinkins :—That this
meeting condemns in the most emphatic and unquali-
fied terms the atte,npt on the part of the Ministry to
rule the country by force, and their recklessness in
compromising the dignity of the Government by
wantonly provoking a collision between the people
and the officers appointed to keep the peace, and re-
solves that a deputation of not more than six per-
sons wait on her Majesty with a petition, signed by
the chairman, in the name of the meeting, request-
ing the dismissal of Earl Derby and his colleagues,
and the appointment of a Ministry who have a better
appreciation of the value of the lives of her Ma-
jesty's subjects and of what is due to their own
high office."

None of the speakers, male or female, were inter-
rupted by the police. By this time darkness was
drawing on, and the crowd rapidly thinned, until,
at about 10 o'clock, only a very few persons re-
mained in the park.

With regard to the proceedings of that section of
the Reformers who adhered to their original pro-
gramme, it is sufficient to state that on arriving op-
posite New Palace-yard some of the more violent
of the party attempted to get -ever the railings into
the square, but in this attempt they were completely
foiled by the police, who were posted in the enclo-
sure. At this point there was much cheering, and
among the shouts could be distinguished the name
of Mr. Bright, a reprint of whose letter in the Times
of yesterday had been extensively circulated during
the day. Another party passed by the Carlton Club
where they raised a storm of hisses, and the Reform
Club, where they indulged in the most uproarious
cheering, which was renewed when some of the
members waved their handkerchiefs and gave other
signs of approval. Arrived at Trafalgar-square Mr.
Beales ascended the base of Nelson's column and
commenced haranguing the crowd,who occupied the
bas reliefs on the column and every position from
which a good view could be obtained. Two fellows,
for instance, clambered up the statue of Charles 1.,
and caused considerable merriment by significantly
pointing to the head of that unfortunate monarch.
Mr. Beales was followed by several other gentlemen,
who all concurred in condemning the conduct of Sir
R. Mayne and the Home Secretary. Two other
meetings were also held in the square, under the pre-
sidency of Messrs. Howell and Cremer. This part of
the proceedings, however, was exceedingly tame
after the exciting scene which had been enacted in
the park, and the fatigued audiences were glad to
get back as soon as possible to the various public-
houses which serve as their head-quarters.

During the past week the camp at Aldershott
has continued to exhibit its usual activity during
the summer months, and as the weather has been
favourable for field movements each day has been
taken advantage of by the Lieutenant-General
commanding the division. On Monday the Cavalry
Brigade, under the command of Major-Gen. Hodge,
C. 8., had a field-day at Eelmoor-hill, and was exer-
cised in various movements for about three hours.
The regiments present were the Royal Horse Guards
(Blue), the 17th Lancers, and the 3d, Bth, and 15th
Hussars. On Wednesday a divisional field-day was
held in the presence of Field-Marshal the Duke of
Cambridge, when a sham fight took place similar in
design to one in which the division took part in the
previous week. The men were under arms at an
early hour, and returned to quarters shortly before
2 o'clock. On Friday the first " flying column"
detached from the Aldershot division this season
marched from the camp to Sandhurst, where it
pitched tents. The column, which was under the
command of Brigadier-General Renny, consisted of
the 3d Hussars, E Battery Bth Brigade Royal Ar-
tillery, the Ist battalion 17th Regiment, the 66th
Regiment, the 81st Regiment, and detachments of
the Royal Engineers, the Commissariat Staff Corps
and the Military Train. The column carried with
it much the same equipment and stores as would be
necessary for a campaign in an enemy's country, and
the mode of victualling the troops in their encamp-
ment is to be the same as when on active service.
The column will remain under canvas until to-
morrow, when in all probability it will return to
Aldershot.
