invective of Mr. Bright against the Prime Minister,
on Thursday Ii came like thunderstorm to clear
the tropical air of the House. which has seldom been

day, and there was every prospect that they would
pass placidly through Committee Mr. Disraeh with
drawing all opposition. STILL the feeling OF triumph
was strong with the Opposition. and the adoption OF
tho resolutions was greeted with cheers which
sounded harshy in Ministerial ears. Then came MIR.
