It is sufficient to • o sav that the meeting was well attended, influ-1 ential men of all tlwee of the parties being present, and listening with interest to the ; which were made by*Messi%.

Tiie speech of Mr. Dyson was principally jutrodnetory to what followed. * delivered in *hls usually pleasant style, and with good effect. ?!*• important speech bf tbo ! occasion, however, was delivered by J. li.
