A singular and satisfactory fact is that simultaneously
with the downfall of the Beamnstield Gevernment we
should receive from all quarters intelligence of the revival
of trade prospects. The other day at the annual meeting

price : but the Chairman observed that "the works which
stood still all last year were now restored." Speculation
as to the course of legislation may be safely dismissed
until we see what the new Cab net is On this point the
probability is that there will be a conference in Lomion.

It is evident that Lord Beaconsfield is resolved to
use the time which still remains to him in gratifying
or enriching his followers. A Scotch judgeship has
been vacant for three years, and the judicial bench in
Edinburgh is still in excess of the county's requi re-
meats. On Friday, however, it was understood Mat
the judgeship had been conferred upon a Mr. Lee, who
was appointed to a lucrative office by the present
Government in 1877.
The election of Scotch Representative Peers at
Holyrood House was • dignified formality, for it is
well known that the Duke of Euccleuch has long been
permitted by the Tory majority to select whom he
thinks fit. The Marquis of Queensberry was on this
occasion set aside, notwithstanding his protest, owing
to his recent disavowal of Christianity. Lord Sinclair
was also shunted, from reasons which have not trans-
pired. The new representatives are the Eerie( Leven

Tag MIDLOTHIAN FLOG*? BUlLDl)lo4—There was one
little circumstance connected with the celebrated Mid-
lothian election in which Mr. Oladstone defeated Lord
Dalkeith, which may very properly come within our
purview. In the centre of the county of Midlothian, or at
least within • mile of it. bead centre, there stands at this
moment, —or, at all events, stood the last time we saw it,
—a solitary and somewhat isolated toll-bar celled Tyne
Castle. That district of the suburbs of Edinburgh has
never, we believe, up to this date, become a populous
district The district, in fact, might have remained
obscure enough had it not occurred to the scheming brains
of the everlasting brood of building speculators in Edin-
burgh that it would afford • splendid site for the erection
of faggot buildings whereon to constitute, by proprietor-
ship and otherwise, a community of faggot-voters I It wes
announced in all tile local newspapers, inclu I tag that
usually well-infermed lournal, the Sestennen, that Lord
Rosebury had found out a method by building houses for
the working-classes to neutralise the Duke of Buecleuch's
method of creating faggot-votes by dividing his property
among the upper elegem Of course, the whole thing was
a bubble, but it took tremendously. The excitemeat, in
fact, was something wonderful Liberals were to have
the preference as purchasers Workmen were employed
on day and night shift., for the purpose of hurrying up
the canasta The Tories, seeing the trick, took Mime-
diet* steps to counteract the danger, by oommencins and
rearing another tenement or two on the opposite side of
the way. But the secret began at length to ooze out, and
the bubble burst Lord Rombery had had nothing to do
with them, neither had the Tories. The whole thing was
• piece of clever speculation, and as such, of course, "a
mockery, • delusion, and • snare" In point of fact, all
such miserable expedients, political or otherwise, in the
end defeat their purposes. The erection of dwelling-
houses for the working-classes can be no political trick in
the county of Midlothian or anywhere else. In this case,
as might have been expected, the speculators have failed,
_the-homes are standing half empty, and partially sold.

A Palrma' Exaterriox.—An exhibition and market
of machinery, implements, and material used or sold by
printers, stationers and pepermakers, fic ,i, announced to
be held et the Agricultural Hall, London, early in July
next, This will be another of those try'. exhibitions
which ewe their origin to Mr. Dale and which both in
their conception and their exaltation are calculated to
benefitinaterially the trades pare connected with. Their
object is to bring together the various classes in such
trades periodically and at convenient intervals, for the
ponces* of adequately introducing novelties and
inventions to those of the public for whom they are
intended, and of facilitating ordinary trade earthmen by
enabling buyers to compere qualities and prices bel'ore
ordering. 'rho idea has already worked most satisfactory,
some exhibitors at one of these exhibition, last year
rewiring orders amounting to several thousand pousdi
during the one week they were at the Agricultural Hall.
The printers' exhibition and market which is now
announced will be very comprehensive, and, as it ia under
the patronage of the WC of the trades which will be
rI Sod, will no doubt be • peat success. The
extbsenition, although public, will beni tended more par-
ticularly for printers, stationers, papernakers, and kindred
traders, to afford them an opportunity of making them-
selves emetically acquainted with the latest productions
of the manufacturers. The general public will be charged
for admission ea the first day half-a-crown, and on the
following days one shilling, but tickets entitling the
holder to free adteissies will be supplied to members of
any of the trades repreerated on application being made
previously, enclosing business card and stamped directed
envelope. The new American dry-pressing machine
(Jones .patent) fully described in last issue of the Journal,
respecting which such extraordinary statements have
been made as to its capability of pressing nobs wet from
the printing machine without "set off" will be sheirn at
work. Amongst the patrons are the Lord Mayor of
London, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, the Lord Provost of
Edinburgh the Lord Provost of Glasgow, Dr. Charles

SUDDEN Dia= OF AN John Skirrow
Wright, the reeently-elected Liberal member for
Nottingham, died very suddenly on Thursday after-
noon st the Birmingham Coun•O•heuse. Mr. Wright
a meeting in connection with the
Birrhingllittenianchool ef Art, and when the minutes of
the Last meeting had been read he fell forward in his
chair, and almost immediately expired. Apoplexy is
believed to be the canes ef death. The deceased
gentleman was 58 years of age- It is stated that Mr.
Arthur Morley, of the Midland Circuit, and eon of
Mr. S. Morley, M.P., will be invited to contest the
constituency in the Liberal interest. The name of Mr.
S. B. Bristow., the late defeated candidate for South
Notts, is also mentioned. The Conservatives will
probably run Mr. Samuel Isaac.
The last meetig of the Beaconsfield Cabinet was
held yesterday under most depressing circumstances as
regards the weather. It has rained in torrents, and
the crowd which might otherwise have bees expected
to gather on this historic occasion was wanting. But
the pelting rain could not best off a poor mad thing in
draggled velvet dress and bright blue bonnet, who
hung about the doorway of the Premier's residence
and eagerly scanned the members of the Cabinet as
they drove up. Appearing to recognise the Duke of
Northuinberfaxid as • gentleman open to appeal, the
woman, wildly waving her umbrella, ran towards him
and shrieked "Bn&land must be represented in Parlia-
ment." The astotilihed duke hastened to get out of
range of the umbrella, and the woman following him to
the portals of the house, repeated
still
injunctions. The
police came up, ca and led her away, ill
shouting her aWbbo eth. ere was much curiosity
among the crowd which had now gathered to know
who the woman might be. I have not heard. But
remembering her gaudy, shabby finery, her mad
excitement, and her patriotio parrot cry, I should not
be surprised to hear that this We. the embodied spirit
of Jingoism come to see the last of its high professors.

Tax LISIMALS have before them a work of no com-
mon magnitude. At home the tangled skein of finance
must be taken in hand without d.lay and restored to
the order to which many yews of Liberal rule have
accustomed the nation. Expenditure has to be
adjusted to income, the growing burthen of debt
lightened and eventually removed, and taxation
brought down to Its proper level. All this demands
time and infinite skill. Then the dropped thread, of
domestic legislation have to be taken up anew—a work
which will tax to the utmost the energies of Libersi
statesmen. In India, again, • teak awaits the new
Government of the greatest delicacy and complexity.
Lord Beaconsfield has destroyed Afghanistan so effec-
tually that no human effort could at present restore
the country to the peace and security it enjoyed under
Share All. Still, some settlement must be arrived at
even with the imperfect materials at hand; and •
Liberal Government may be trusted to effect this with
all the justice that is compatible with a wholesome
re for the true interests of the Empire. Some
dird ult steering awaits it, too, on the Continent of
Damp). Turkey is swiftly hastening to decay and
ruin. All the provisions of the Treaty of Berlin are
not yet carried out. British influence at Stamboul has
fallen to zero. The protectorate of Asia Minor, Insanely
undertaken by the present Government, remains to
perplex Mere] counsel,; and Cyprus will not cease
to be • burthen upon our hands. Few Governments,
in fact, have inherited such enormous difficulties as
will be bequeathed by the Beaconsfield Administration
to Its successor. The contrast between this state of
things end that which existed when Mr. Gladstone
quitted office In 1874 is groat indeed.
