The Agents-General, a number of ship owners, squatters, and commercial men,and alsoMrWeddel, were present. The Agents-General praised the excellent quality of the dinner, but said there was no hope of their Governments assisting the scheme oxcepfc by their sympathy. Sir Westbv Perceval advised the exercise of caution, as it would not do to pauperise or offend the working men.
