•• We believe 1Vi;: Courtenay's experience in- the treatment of
stricture to have equalled, if it has not exceeded, that of any of his
contemporaries ; whilst we most certainly know of no man to whose

THE SPEAKER OF TEE HOUSE OF

COMMONS.

The Commons, we have reason to believe, are
about to lose the services of their able and ex-
cellent Speaker. Though this announcement will
be received with regret by his numerous personal
frends, and by all who have come within the wide
range of his influence, yet his retirement could
scarcely have been postponed beyond the close of
the now expiring Parliament. He has served for
13 years a longer period than any previous
Speaker, we except the well-known Arthur
Onslow, who occupied the chair for the unexam-
pled space of 33 years. But we have lived faster
since the days of Onslow, and have learned, per-
haps with scant wisdom, to compress into one
modern session the labours, the night watchings,
and the wear and tear of at least two sessions
of the olden time. In years of service Mr. Speaker
Shaw Lefevre has already exceeded the late Vis-
count Canterbury ; and if the labours of a Speaker
could be computed in days and midnight hours,
our distinguished contemporary would not be se-
cond. even to Arthur Onslow.
Elected to the chair in four Parliaments, he has
witnessed the fall of four Administration, and the
recent crisis of a fifth ; he has enjoyed the confi-
dence of Conservative as well as Liberal majori-
ties ; and whether the House of Commons has
been led by Lord John Russell or Sir R. Peel,
by Mr. Disraeli or Viscount Palmerston, the as-
cendency of his high office and his own personal
popularity have ever been the same. His dignity,
free from poirp or affectation, is natural to him ;
his judicial clearness, his quick sagacity and tact,
are never at fault ; while his admirable temper is
proof against all the wearisome trials and exhaus-
tion, to which he is exposed. Meanwhile, the
valuable improvements which he has introduced
into every department of Parliamentary business
are evidence of his great administrative ability.
Nobly has he won the rewards which now await
him. His talents, his high character, and eminent
public services entitle him to a distinguished plAce
ix the House of Peers ; and the public will cordially
approve of any pecuniary acknowledgment which
Parliament may offer to a public servant, at once
so worthy and so justly popular.—. Post.
