The balconies were crowded with ladies. Lord Hartington and Mr. Goschen were given an ovation. A toast to the Queen was received with enthusiasm. Everybody rose and joined in the singing of a national anthem, and "God bless the Prince of Wales Mr.
Kenny, an eminent Catholic barrister, in proposing a toast to the Unionist home rule as an insidious misnomer, simplv meaning the dismemberment of tho ipire and the utter ruin of Ireland.

30. The Irish Times (Conservative) claims that the Unionist meeting last night was an assemblage of intellect, courage and popular feeling to protest not as a minor ity but as a substantial representa tion of the Irish people against the Che policy of the Home Rule party. Tl: freeman Journal in its comments on the meeting, says the surroundings proved that Lord Hartingtou and Mr. Goschen Were the avowed enemies of Ireland. Detectives, it says, guarded the two Englishmervas if they were a couple of Czars.
The meeting was attended by only those who bad tickets and no claim could be made that it was a free expression of public opinion. The I Dublin A- press (Conservative), says there never was such a meeting before in Dublin. It points out that its supporters in- eluded peers, ecclesiastics, civil dignitaries and the representatives of railway, shipping, banking and pro- fessional interests. Jake Sharp's Case.

Mrs. Win- ston is a thoroughly intelligent and cultivated lady, and the lecture was much enjoyed by all who heard it- Newin.i otwerver. The last legislature passed an act allowing the people to vote at the of our Supreme Court j.vL;t to five or. not, and also at the tame time to vote for men to fill this important po- sition.

ns fiio in nverv vv ciuaiined for the fOiitrou, who though a young man, as were some who were elected to the Superior Court and have given general satisfaction, is of fine legal ability and has been eminently successful at tho bar as a practitioner. I hope Mr. Whitaker's name will be presented at the democratic convention and that he will be nominated, as I think that our choice could not fall upon one more worthy. N.
