DICKENS on ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM.
At an Administrative Reform meeting at Drury-Iane
on June u, Mr. c. Dickens who was most warmly re-
ceived) addressed the meeting, and said: cannot,
am sure better express my of the kind reception
accorded to me by this great assembly than by prom
ising 10 compress what shall address to you within
the closest possible limits. 1t is more than 800 years
ago since there was a set of men who thought they
should be heard of for their "much speaking" As
they have propagafed exceedingly since that time and
as observe that they flourish just now to surprising
extent about Westminster Laughter will do my beet
TO avoid adding to the numbers of that prolific race

head of tie Govern nent when he wondered in Parlia
ment. about week ago, that my friend Mr.. Layard
did rot blush for having stated in this place what the
whole country knows perfectly well to be true and
what 10 men in it can by possibility better know to be
true than those disnerested supporters of that noble
lord WHO had the advantage of hearing him aod cheer
ing lin night after night when he first became Premier
i mean that he did officially and habtually Joke at
time when this country was plunged IN deep disgrace

go much that the man OF this age who has, by
his earnest and adventurous spirit done The most to

and the reason why however ardently he may desire
10 ring the curtain down upon them there is not the
