DORCHESTER, JUNK sth, 1883,

Lord Randolph Chrochill is • man of incinnitable
spirit and some tsct. The Session be has three times
been laid mile by jib..,; but he returns to work the
first in msnl he can with the sung feverish sed often

snubbed him, and repudiated him a few weeks ago, but
he'. on perfectly good terms with them hi sin as well
ea with himself. No man in the House has attacked
the Partiellites with such hi *darner ; yet the Parnellites
rather like him than otherwiee. He has done nothing
to forfeit him thaticc of • piece in the next CO 3letVll-
- Government. Hi haa been independent cud even
insubordinate, but the same was true of Mr. Chamber-
lain. His health is mach noes likely than his
character to hinder his political advaocemeat.

Baron Henry de Woe—ne—i-s-not an over-wise scan;
his Parliamentary reputatiou is not bawd upon either
',cadence or god lute. Bet even from him one could
scarcely have anticipated so tooli.h or impudent or
lerbwor as • queetiou to the 13 )vernment a• that relat-
ing to the 'opposed refusal to appoint the Duke of
Albany to the Govarnordienerslship of Canada. No
doubt the Duke wishe I very mach t ) go. He has an
hocourable ambition to engage himself iu real work.

Mr. 11. Smith, the Liberal member for Liverpool,
Otis ground in public opinion, not among bit con-
stituents only, but in the country at large. He made
• speech the other day in Liverpool, in which he
seamed up lucidly the three causes which produce the
present block of public businew. They are these : The
miultiplication of I d business. which ought to be
thrown on bond b Klieg ; the loquacity of members ;
and, above all, the definite wish to obstruct on

point of vieW, dvies to krop back Liberal meaeutes.
