The munificence and generosity of Lord Alington
an exercised publicly and privately almost day, and
there is not an institution or • good 046011 in this town,
or district which doss not receive • share of his bounty.
Thin freehanded and mono= spirit was, however, last
week displayed in rather • novel way, for on his
horse Gladstone losing one of the races at Kempton,
Lord Alington at once presented the animal to Fred
Archer, the jockey, who had ridden it. Lord Aliagtoo,
It would appear, thinks but little of Gladstone.

The communication in another column. signed

" Selborne " we certainly do believe the Town Comma,

town, pores,' • judgment far superim to the Lord '
Chancellor, when called upm to discern between the
merits of Ws and that person who ham been put
forward as worthy to be placed on the Commisaon of
the Peace. At the same URN it should be remembered
there are those in the town equally capable ea the

we believe the cmucillors wtio sit on On Beach dis-
play as much knowledge of law proi Airs and the
judicial mind as can be reasonably expiated of the

by " Seaborne " •111, however, be endorsed by many.

'My Lord." have lately effected a sweeping
esonorny in ono branch of the Naval Service. They
have discovered that in morns oases fine•brushan hays
been purohased for oosetvard stations, and they have
directed that in future those important and expensive
articles are tilt to be provided at the expense of the

The die hen been oast. The oompromise which
we. suggested at the clue of an 11101i013111065 debate a
week ago in the °unmans was attempted in vain.
The hopes of • reconciliation only lived • few hours.
Lord Salisbury knocked all hope oo the bead on tbe
Sunday, when he came up to town from Rataad for
an hour or two t) twofer with Lord Wunyes upon the
situation. We shall now have to waste toughs an
months upon • bitter political diaputss, whilst
every good and useful piece of legislation remains in
abeyance. Thursday evening'. debate was brilliant
notwithstanding its brevity. Lord Salisbury himself
never spoke more eloquently. Lord Granville hes
seldom evinced so much vehement earnestness. There
was • remarkable assemblage of ladles and • remark -
able assemblage of members of the Lower Liouse. It
was with some dignity and eirownstanu that the
Lord. drove • nail lato their own coffin.
