MR GLADSTONE, at a meeting of the National Liberal Club on the 11th April, said the Liberal Party, though maimed, had won more victories at the polis dasing the past fifteen months than he had ever known to have been gained before by Party in a minority. The large and complicated proposals in the Local Government Bill would require to be thoroughly sifted, and he thought the Budget did not improve upon acquaintance. It was too much in the interests of pro- peity, and too little in the interests of labour and of the general consumer. In respect to Ireland, the Conservative candidates, he said, bad pledged themselves to meet the demands of freind for local institutions, and now every such plege had been shattered into fragments.

Ho Amisu on being made acquainted with this innovation, civilly asked Gazor if it was his intention to keep this passage closed, and on being, answered in the affirmative, requested that another man should be procured to supersede him, as closing the passage had made the place so hot that he was unable to work in it.
