ing at Birmingham last evening was an i'm
posing Liberal demonstration. A res0lu-
ton was unanimously passed. expressing
sympathy with their great loss in the
death of " that gallant soldier and patriot,
the genial and kind-hearted Colonel
Barnaby." Bright, in abiding to the
American tariff said the farmers of the
United States are not permitted to exchange
their products with the artisans of Birming-
ham or the weayers of Lancashire but are
compelled to exchange with the protected
manufacturers of their own country, who
in some cases do not give half what the
farmers could get from Lancashire or
Birmingham manufacturers. Bright said
he had no wish to reproach the Ameri-
cans, who some day, he believed,
would discover the right course He
felt sunguine that there would
be a gradual movement in America in the
right direction. The time would come
when England and America, although two
nations, would be one people, and one in
commerce. Bright strongly denounced a
resort to arms as means of settling inter
national controversies. He pointed out that
during Queen NictOria'S reign the wars III
which England had been engaged had cost
the nation f150000,G00, and the lives of
5000 men. He deprecated the further
annexation of territory by Great Britain.
