Tramping with the feet at public meetings is an objeetionablo habit, unless in applause. When it is meant to disturb it is not welcome.

New Zealand lamb in London could be bought for •Id a lb, while we paid Is alb for it. To carry out the suggestion would be a very good way to grease the fatted pig, and help along the monopolists.
