A large meeting was held in the British Consulate last night which was attended by about 120, or nearly all our male residents, It was called by Mr. Gardiner, Chairman of the Municipal Council, who also occupied the chair, Mr. Thyen, Consul for Sweden, in his opening speech explained that. it had been called at his request, because it was fitting the public should know the character of the horrible massacre and why the bodies of the murdered missionaries remained unrecovered and unburied. Dr. Grifith John gave an account of the circumstances attending the outrage, carefully gathered from half a dozen native eye-witnesses, and your corre: pondent told the story of the futile attempts which had been made to get the bodies back, A resolution was passed calling upon the Consuls, as a body, to take the matter up. The speeches and proceedings are being printed by the Municipal Council; I shall have a copy for you next mail.
