At a Tweeting held at Chetnole, Mr. Nitrate% iyho was present, proposed resolutions for tha. repeal of Lord. Sandon's Education Bill, for the withdrawal of the fleet from L'e' sika Bay, and for the recall of Sir Henry Elliot from Constantinople. He considered the conduct of the Government most reprehensible in the matter of the Bulgarian massacres, encouraging the Turks as we did ay. leading them to suppose that we should bitcic theta in. anything they did. Sir Henry Elliot had acted in anything hut a proper manner, and was far from, being is suitable terson to represent England. They had to thank the correspondent ef the Daily N,VE for the -Ughts of the matter, and he thanked God that Caere were some men who oluti speak plainly.— Mr. Arch. in supportins the resolutions, condemned Lord Satsion's etindact with 'regard to the Ednattion Bill. It was not hi:, hill, it WRS bill of the clergy of England, and ought to he condemned on every point. With regard to Sir Henry Elliot and his .g. 5,000 a-year. What has he filona He had seen atrocities committed which mtvle men's blood run cold to think about, and had not had tho conrwje to speak out. What private communication he had made to the Premier he (the speaker) knew not. BtA lie knew this. that while Mr Disraeli hail reieived the title of Lord Beaeonsfield, and had gone to the upper 'geese, he had ant carried with hint the confidence of the people of England. lie (Mr. Disraeli) never did a more unconstitutional act ha his life. than to use the dippant language he did in reference to the atrosities. :referred to, when the subject was discussed in the House. And Mr. Disraeli would ever have it on his conscience thas he was an accessory, tn a certain extent, in those atrocities, bt, allowing our feet to remain in Besika I Bay, by which the Turks thought that England upheld 1 them in their brutality. He (the speaker) might he called to accctint for the statements he hail made, and the papers might be down twon hint. Sn they were upon that forseeine statesman John Bright in 'All, when he appeavi the Crimean war. John Bright washed his hands of th^lood of the slain in that war, while the Government supplied 2110 tuilitons of money, and lost 10,11110 of England s bravest men to bolster up that system whiz,b they saw ileveloped today. Wt en they thought of those thinga, and a he c6nduct aud Bfe of 'lie. late Suhans  they could not wonder, at %Committing suicide. But they inieit say, "What has to do with us Whose sons went to the Orthicon war . What class of men found the stuff fr ttic war ?' ft WA.; the talt 'Oaring classes, and if they ha hail their vote in Isi4. and could have made their voice heard in conneation with the voi,e of John Bright, he questaoned whether the war would have been expanded as it was: Mr. Arch conchaled by an earnest appeal to the men to stilt together, and endeavour to get the franchise.
