THE LONDON STRIKES.
(lIY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH — COPYRIGHT). Sydney, September SO. The fragmentary nature of the reports of the lecture on the London strikes, delivered at I'iallarat by AteiwUvicm Julius (just elected to the See of Christclmrch), led to some misapprehension of his meaning. "As an old L 'udonor, ' s ; iys the reverend gentleman, " f airi deeply interested in Lhe condition of the poor, and feel strongly the wrongs which they have .suffered from neglect, injustice and greed. I expressed my sense of admiration at their power of self-restraint and _ forbearance, especially when their poverty is contrasted with the overflowing wealth and luxury around them." Me goes on to say he did not justify violence, which seems to have been the sense in which his remarks were taken in some quarters, lie is fully aware that any outbreak on the part of the poor people would only serve to intensify and prolong their misery.
