THE HOME RULE CAMPAIGN.

Lord Randolph Churchill, addressing a Conservative meeting at Newcastle, on the 22nd inst., took occasion to reply to the charges made by Mr Gladstone against th e Unionist Party and the Irish Executive. He denied Mr Gladstone's accusation that the Unionists had had recourse to coercion on iusufficient grounds, and in proof thereof he referred to the history of several coercive laws which had been nforced. The charge that union. »sts had pledged themselves not to re port to extreme measure, he declared to be unfounded. In criticising the atti tude of Mr Gladstone towards the police, he attributed this onslaught upon the con stabiilarly to Mr Gladstone's alliance with the revolutionary party whose views were ai'ccted. If disorder and anarchy took (ilaco, if .the authority of the laws were, to be disturbed by future poli ii'i! dodges, he predicted the decay uf t!ie material prosperity of Eng. !-.*»f. The speaker alluded to the state .._., made by Mr Gladstone that he (Mr .....stone) approved of tho National rMgue because it was different in R_ organisation from the Land League,

against which he. had passed an Act when in office. Lord Randolph Churchill, how ever pointed to the speech made by Mr Davitt last week declaring that th e National League was identical with its predecessor the Land League.

THE LONDON UNEMPLOYED.

MONSTER MEETINGS.

A demonstration was hold in London on Saturday last which assumed very large proportion. In the morning a meertng- ■«•_» held at Clerkenwell for the purpose of pro. testing against the conduct of the police in dispersing tho outdoor gatherings of last week. Resolutions were passed demanding the dismissal of Sir Chas. Warren and the appointment of a civilian instead as City Commissioner of the Metropolitan police. A meeting was again held under the auspices of the London Patriotic Club, at which an enormous crowd congregated, and several violent speeches were made.

The mob, headed by a youth carrying a red iiag and closely followed by mounted and foot constables inarched to Trafalgar Square which, was speedily packed princi pally with sightseers. The proceedings were orderly and the services of tho police wero nob required. After several speeches had been delivered, resolutions were adopted by tho meeting to petition the Govern ment to obtain work for tho un employed by commencing various public works, among others the formation of an embankment on the south side of tho Thames. The crowd then marched in an orderly manner to Westminster Abbey where large numbers attended the after noon service, some few behaving very irreverently. Upon the conclusion of tho service tho crowd returned t Trafalgar Square, where more speeches were delivered. Towards fivo o'clock tho Square was densely packed, and the mob became somewhat disorderly, several persons being hustled about, but nothing serious resulted, and tho crowd gradually

dispersed,

Per R.M.S. Carthage:—Passengers for New Zealand : Mr and Mrs Evans, Mr and Mrs Richardson, Messrs W_igh_son,Hussey, Fox, Snelling, Radford, Rev. W. Wright son. General ni_nn:.ry. -. ... London, October 14. Mr Chamberlain's visit to Ulster is the chief political event of the week. He was received with the utmost enthusiasm by great gatherings of Irish loyalists, whilst the hostile demonstrations were few. In Ulster the speeches of Mr Chamberlain boldly reaffirmed his Radical opinions, but admitted that for the moment greater issues wero at stake. " The Union must be saved at all cost. Its repeal must injure Great Britain and bring disaster upon Ireland." A new incident occurred to emphasise the general insecurity of property in Ireland. Thirty horses, valued at over £2,000, be longing to Captain Stead, a gentleman who, it is stated, had no quarrel with anyone, have been poisoned wholesale at Clonsilla. Already over a dozen are dead. A Router's telegram from Zanzibar states that the approach of the Stanley expedition throughout the tribes in the vicinity of the Albert Nyanza is causing great excitement, especially in Nyanda, where, war with Unyoro still continued. Mywanga hud sent messengers to Emm Pasha inquiring about the expedition, and it is thought to indi cate that Mywanga is seeking to win the support of Emm, who could then extend his influence in that quarter. Emm Pasha has decided to send two expeditions to meet Stanley, one proceeding in a southern di rection to Albert Nyanza, and the other going to Mhagie Emm's military position on the western shore of the lake, then ad vancing westward across the Blue Moun tains. At a conference of ladies held in Bond street on the subject of dress, it was de cided that the plumage of small birds should no longer be considered as fashionable trim ming for robes or bonnets. For the time of year extremely cold weather has set in throughout tho British isles, snow having fallen in considerable quantities in the northern districts. Lon don has also been visited by sharp frosts and a slight fall of 6now. A slight shock of earthqnake was felt throughout Rhondda Valley, South Wales, on Wednesday, accompanied by a rumbling

noise, creating considerable alarm amongst the miners and others. The Rev. William Butters, ex-President of the Australian Wesleyan Conference, died on the 12th instant, at Tulse Hill, London, after a few hours' illness. The deceased gentleman was in his 75th year, and was widely known and respected.

WESLEYAN DISTRICT MEETING.

Yesterday evening's session opened with hymn 872, and prayer was offered by the Rev. C. i_. Barley.

A considerable portion of time was de" voted to the preparation of work for the financial district meeting.

Under the question, " Can any measures be adopted for tho promotion of tho work of God •>" the Secretary read tho resolu tions on pastoral work published in the minutes of the English Conference for 1885. Cheering testimony was borne by several of the brethren to the progress of the work of God in parts of the district, and also to the blessings received in connection with this district meeting. The brethren were encouraged to find that thero was a net increase of 72 members in the district, upon the year. In dependence upon divine grace, the brethren determined to renew their personal consecration to Christ, and thus seek a re vival of the work of God in tho snnctilica tion of believers, and in the conversion of sinners in the several circuits. At half-past four the meeting adjourned for the financial sessions, which commenced this (Tuesday) morning at half-past nine.

Tho following notices of motion were tabled :—Methodist Union.—By Roy. G. Law, "That while this meeting desires to express its thankfulness to Almighty God for the friendly feeling which exists be tween the various branches of the Methodist church in this colony, it deeply regrets in having to record its conviction that tho time has not yet an ived when union of the said churches may be considered prac ticable."

lie Separato Conference:—by Rev. R. Bavin, " That in the opinion of this District meeting, it is undesirable that Now Zealand should at present be constituted a separate and independent conference."

Re Gambling.—By Rev R. Bavin, " That this district meeting views with alarm tho widespread prevalence of gambling in Now Zealand and tho colonies generally, and prays the conference to take such means us it may deem best, to utter its emphatic protest, against this promieious ovil." lie Removal Expenses: —By Rev. J. Dukes—"That this district meetine deems it both practicable and expedient to make ' removal expenses ' a charge upon tho con tingent fund." lie Raglan Circuit.—By Rev. J. Dukes, " That in consideration of the altered con dition of the Raglan Circuit this district meet ing recommenda that it be no longer retained as a Homo Mission station."

lie grants to denominational schools, by Rev. E. Best, " That this meeting strongly objects to any Government monies being paid to Roman Catholic schools, which must lead to denominational endawmonts, and the destruction of our present superior system of national education." It was unanimously resolved " that the Homo Missionaries in charge of stations, have a seat and vote in the meeting. "Supornumerarlea Fund." Undor the question, What amount has been raised for this fund in the district? The Secretary reported amount raised by circuits £198 9s by ministers subscriptions £152 6s, total £330 15s.
