inc Of the attention Of the opponents OF free
trade:
CALAIS, 1e,h May" have been Informed
that during the present season greater quantity
of packages OF goods has been sent to England
by onehalf, than during any year since the open
mo of the ports. Since the lst OF January the
quantity is more than double what it was IN 1881
or 1889 All the French houses without exeep-
ton have increased their importauons. Snug
cling IS still carried on to considerable extent,
hut not near tn the same extent as in former years
The imour,a,ions FROM England have very much
increased, and the contraband importations are
said to be equal to former years. Well INFORM
ed persons estimate the Importation b. contra.
hand of British cotton lace into France, IN 1889
at Rl. 500. 900. This should be taken as set
off against 81, 900. 600 of direct aud indirect
silk expectation Of France to England, and would
alone pay almost all the English importations OF
every kind from France, aud vet our anti free
traders would make the people believe we are
paying all in gold.

ed not only for talent and eluquence but tor ten.
per and discretion. Lord Howiek expressed
some doubts as to the feasibility Of the plan.--
The further discussion Of the subject was rather
conversational than argumen'ative, aud Was H.
naly disposed Of BY postpone ment OF its fur

a meeting in Spa6elds, which ended in violent
conflict with the authorities, in which blood has
been she'd During the night the peaccable 10
habitants were in state of the greatest alarm
apprehensive Of the re-enac,ment Of the dreadful
scenes of 1917. But this evil is, perhaps, no,

ewes of Government to their true position; and
it IS currently reported at the west end OF the
town. that they have at length consented to adop
some strong measures with the view Of putting
down these pestiient associations, which are now
admitted by the peaceable and loyal Of all par
ties to be wholly incompatible with the public
peace.

taken from the people at the meeting yesterday
were conveyed BY Superintendent rhomas, and

posted during the uight.) to the Secretary oil
