THE EASTERN QUESTION.
Demonstrations for and Against
the Government.

LONDON, May 1.-Political demonstra-
tions for and against the Government are
the order Of this week. The popular
meeting At Bradford on Monday in sup.
port Of the Government, at which Ga
ihorne Hardy, Indian Secretary, spoke,
was followed yesterday by meetings at
Manchester, at which John Bright spoke,
and at Briefly Hill, in opposition. To.
morrow another demonstration hostile 10
the Government will be held at Birming-
ham. The whole energy Of the oppo-
nepts OF the Government in the north
and centre Of England will thus be heard
In combined protest against the policy
Of the Cabinet. Al the Manchester
meeting eighteen hundred delegates from
the Liberal organizations in the north Of
England were present. Joseph Cham
berlain, Radical Member Of Parliament
for Birmingham, spoke at Briefly Hill.
The speeches Of Bright and Chamber.
lain directly face the issue raised by the
Government. They ask the country not
10 choose between the various causes for
asserting British interests in the East,
but to act on the principle that we have
no interests there ut all which are worth
the coat Of q war. They further asked it
not TO decide how far II is prepared TO
maintain the existing treaties or by what
means the existing engagements can best
be reconciled with the existing facts, but
10 pronounce that the existing treaties
are an utter mistake.
Rumors OF dissolution OF Parliament
are again rife. Il is said that the Con.
seryatiye associations have received Sc
cret instructions 10 prepare for such
contingency.
