Wellington, January 17 There was an enormous crowd at the public meeting, convened by the Mayer today to protest againsb the recent Gomir. entai slanders upon the British nation. The gathering was held ia tho Theatre Royal, which proved all too Bmall to acermraodate the thousands who sought admistion. Pro minent on the atago weie the members of the Ministry and Parliament, City Council lota, and leading cltzens. The following motion was proposed by Mr Johnliuihie, otconded by Mr X 0 Bruoe and o&rried—' That) the citizens of the city of Wellington in public meo'ing assembled, desire to express (1) their emphatic approval of the attitude of the British Government in the conduct of the South African war, ftnd to record their appreciation of the com plete refutaiion by the Right Hon Joseph Chamberlain of tho foreign slanders upon the honour of the British forces serving in South Aftioa; (2) that the Premier be requested to transmit a copy of the forego ng resolution to tbe Secretary of State for the Colonies.'

SbirriMg speeches were made by the mover and seconder, their übteraacea being supple* mented by the Chief Justice, thn Premier, Sir Joseph Ward, and others, whose r< marks wera received w:th loud applause. Mr Seddon, in his addreaa, emphasised the necessity of bringing the war in Sooth Africa to a conclusion, and declared thai) if more men were wanted at the front after the Eighth Contingent, more would be forth oomicg from New Zealand. Whatever number of men were required to help to briog the campaign to a conclusion they should go. In one way, eegrettabSe though they were, the slenders of the German preae were a blessing in disguise, for they had brought home to the world fhe homogeneous nature of the British Empire and the determination of the people to uphoid the honour of the country and fhg Subsequently an oveifbw meeting was addressed from the stepa of the General ! Post) Office by Mr Seddon, Sir Joseph Ward, , Mr Beauchamp, Rev Bond, and Mies Seddon, when, amidsb loud cheering, resolutions were carried expressive of the honor of (be women of New Zealand at tbs calumnies circulated in Germany n fleeting on the honour of the sons and huebando of tbe wernen of the colonies and Motherland, and expressing complete confidence in Mr Chamberlain and sympathy with the efforts made to defend the fair name of the Britiah > Army from foul calumniations j Nf.i/OM, January 17

Ab the City Council meeting tonight the Mayor, Mr Baigent, said he referred with pain to the gross slanders and libels upon the nation that had emanated from the pc pie and PreßS cf a European country, and especially to the difgusting attacks on the Que<n, which were enough to make the blood boil of every Brltsio. He thought it their duty to uphold the honour of the nation, and moved* "Thab this Council desirea to place on record its indignation at the gross and baseless libala on the Home and 'colonial troops recently published in the foreign newspapers, and its admirarion of tho firm and dignified attitude of the Imperial tiovernment with reference to the South Africa war." The resolution was oarried anaulmously and with applause.

Donbdin January 17 The Garrison Hall was crowded to the doors tonight by citizens responding to the request of the Mayor to attend and paai re&olutions protesting against foreign slanders of the British and colonial to disre The meeting was one of the mo&t demon stratively enthusiastic gatherings held in Dnnedin, quite equal to that at which the patriotic fond waa launched. The Mayor opened with a brief patriotic address. The Rev P W Fairclough, in a Stirling speech, daring which he was frequently cheered, moved—"That this meeting of citizens of Duraedin, having heard with indignant am azsemenfc thab a section of the German Press has grossly slandered the British forces in South Africa, the colonial contingents, the spirit and honour of the nation, the Uight Eon J Chimber'asn and, even Q leen Alexandra herself, indignantly resents this crusade of vilificatiou, and affirms with all possible emphasis its belief in the justice of the British ciase, and the chivalry of the Imperial and colonial troop 3." The motion was seconded by Dj W Brown. The second resolution was moved by Mr Jliß Cargill to the effect—" Tnat the meeting desire (o convey to the Right Hon J Chamberlain their admiration of tha spirited and patriotic manner in which he haa vindicated the honour of Great Britain, and further desire to express entire con fidence In the conduct of the South African war by the British Government, and in the ahle administration of Lord Milner." This was seconded by Mr James Allen, M.H.R. On fche motion cf MrD E Theomin (presi dent of the Chamber of Commerce), seconded by Mr R Ferguson, president of the Trades and Labour Council, It was decided to ask the Governor to forward the second resolution by. cable. The meeting was a representative one. Between the speeches patriotic songs were sung, the audience joining in the chorus. The meeting concluded with the singing of 1 Qod Save the King.'

No nationalist members were present. The Agents-General had se»ts in tho Royal gallery. Although, according to tradition, Parliament must listen in absolute j silence, the passage in the Speech referring to the conduct of tho troops I evoked a distinct murmur of »ssent. Ihe we»ther was doll, but tine.

The King read his eppech in a clear voice. He declared that Biirain'a re* lations with the Powers were fripndly. The coarse <£ the war was favourable. The eoldien?, despite the tediousness of tbe guerilla struggle throughout, had displayed cheerfulness and endurance and humanity, even to their own detriment? They were deserving cf highest praise. The further loyal oilers of troops were acknowledged. Con tingents were corning from Canada, the Australian OaUinaonwealth, and New Zealand. His Maj sty trusted that tbe International Sugar Bounties Con ference at Brussels would decide to abandon bounties, which Wfre unfairly weighing on sugar-producing colonies, and Home manufacturers.
