met meeting to-day lasted about two

1t will be seen from this that the
Irish Tories represent a little more
than one.fith of the voting popula-
ton of that country, that in Scotland
they represent one-sixth of the popu-
lation and in Wales one-ninth, where
as ia England they are nearly one
half, proving that in the Centers Of
the old Celtic population Liberalism
has its strongholds. The English out
side of the manufacturing towns are
Conservative, and hold fast to old
things and old ways.

Cold in the South.

The late cold wave was general all over
the country, the range in the extreme

frozen, a vessel commander being frozen to
death outside.
