The Rev. Mr. Cobbold sald he only knew the object of this meeting five minutes beloce. He wished to express his entire disspproval of what Mr. Fra-els had mild. He bad spoken to Mr. Francis before Mr. Wedchonse left bat ha had entirely misunderstood him. No discussion whatever hadtak n place amongst the members as to whether they should contfone Mr. Francis had first aid cotirely on his awo part, "Thero is the result of the enquiry. He absolutely disagreed with him where he said there was nothing very serious the matter. They could not possibly prejudge this question whatever their opinions might be as to possible resul's They bad night at this moment to say the commission should cease to exist. It had been ggested that a somewhat similar commission had not long rge been appointed la England. They found there was practice lly nothing much to complain of and he believed it was on that account it was properet this commission shon'd cesse. The conditions here were not the same and the commission should be recoasthaled.

Mr Francis sald perhaps he had failed to axpress bimselt clearly to Mr. Cobbold. He had perfectly perused the mass of ́evidence and was certain that anyone reading it would be slided on the subject. The Captain Superintendent of Police who had control over the order of the city suld there was no cause far complaint, Mr. Brown's view; and those el, the naval and military officers were again referred to..

The Rev. Mr. Cobbold said hearsay evidence was of no practical value. He had not seen the answers sent in, seliber had Mr. Francis,

Dr. Stedman supported Mr. Francis. Mr. Brown, he said, had amphatically and dis- tinctly told him that he could not by analyals detect any deleterious traces in the cheap whiskies and gins sold here. They were cheap because they were not natural spirtie bat mann- factured. And they were manufactured with more or less pure proof split. Certain flour. togs were added, prepared from natural whisky or glo, and they contained less farel off and harm. fal matter than the naturally produced whisky Mr. Brown had said emphatically that in whisky, at 30 cents a bottle he could not find fasel ell and other harmful things which were to be found in much more expensive whiskies. The whisky from the lower grog shops did not contain so much Isja:lous matter as those of higher price and Mr. Brown sald ba drank them at his own table (Laughter.) He received us injury from them, but found the taste not so pleasant. It was esti·ely a matter of analysis and the analyst could not find anything deleterious in ike whole of the spirits.

Dr. F. Clark said the statement they had just boud was a most important one, but they should not have the analyst's statement second hand. Before they dissolved the commission they should take his evidence frst hand. He then mored as an amendment that the Governmen!

be recommended to appoint the Acting Police Magistrate Chairman of the Commission and that then they "suggest" that the Commission Take Mr. Brown's evidence.

We believe that if our ministers once couvlo. ced the Russian Government thai they were thoroughly in earnest la desiring their friend ship, they would succeed; and the time is cer talaly opportune for making the attempt. In the first place, the present Emperor Nicholas II. is notoriously fitendly disposed towards England, and recent events in France must have made him and many of his advisers have very grave doub's as to the durablilty and desirability of the French alliance. We believe that they would be inclined to give a very willing ear to English overtures, provided, as we said before, that our Millers acceed in coovincing them that they are seriously in earnest la shift new policy.

The great fault in the past has been, that Rasals, like other countries, has been accas- tomed to seeing English Gorazaments protest and vow that they would never permit certain things to be done and then, when they have been accomplished, after a certain period of tail talk and more at less strained relations between the two countries, England has fically given way and has then declared that she recognlues Dr. Lowson seconded Dr. Cla'k's proposal what has already been dose, but that if Russia ventures in the future to advance beyond a and it was carried.

You are only here to ab'ala Information on military matters," Napoleon told him quietly. He avowed his armaments, bal suggested a possible arrangement, which was, of course, to be submitted to the Tsar. Thus Cremmlichef, as entrusted with this arrange- ment, would have to leave Pasis and return to St. Petersburg, Savary, on his part, ordered his agouts to lorce their way into Caraltchel's rooms, the moment be had gone, and examine aft papers that might be found there. At the same time the French Foreign Minister, quite Independently, gave similar instruction to the Prefect of Police.
