Mr. Chamberlain, on rising In reply, was received
with loud and iarelonged cheere. lie harl to return
thankeim behalf of his colleagues who were absent, a.
well no for there present. They obtained a great
triumph the ether day. Advanced Liberalism had a
victory all along the line --(cheeres—and Birmingham
would speak with increow,ll strength end authority
in the new /Loewe of l'.arliament. It was a victoey
wen under exceptional care Lance,, and at the coot
of unusual sacrifices isis the part ef the rank and file
of the party ; len it wa. a vetoes' apron which shey
might thoroughly congratulate themselves, and the
more they looked at it the twee they weuld hare
reason to rejoice even in ita detaile. "I'he day after
the election the Tinos, which had been centiolently
anticipating the defeat of the Liberal party, ex.
preaseed • kind of qualified rejoicing in the fact that

In face of thie imition it berame iinfaisrteast tea com•

betrayed an incomprehensible ignorance of tAse reselt
of the recent elections. The etatessisan who might
really claim authority to speak for their section of the
party knew the true lessens of the recent polls, and
would not Lie likely to exaggerate the differences or .
