AvIsITTo THE COUNTRY OF WALTER SCOTT

GLASGOW, July 1-Engaging a landau at two
guineas a day. beside lunch, tolls, hOrse-feed,
fees to guides, walters, &C. which amounted to
nearly as much more, four of us started after
breakfast which here usually is late, and crossing
the tell-brdge over the Clyde we went up on the
south bank to Old Lanark.
On the way we had fine opportunity of examin-
ing the rural portions of the valley of the Clyde or
Clydesdale as it is commonly termed. We saw some
good grass and fair promise of oats, and even of
some wheat; but the chief field crops were oats, po
tatoes and beans OF fruit crops we saw little else
than an abundant promise Of apples and gooseber-
ries The former, remember, are small, and much
inferior to best American apples; but the latter
much superior to the gooseberTes of any other
country have visited that do not wonder they are
considered inferior frut'by all who never tasted
them in Scotland. The remarkable straightness of
the potato rows their hoe culture, sometimes on hills
making an angle of over 4jo with the horizon almost
exclusively done by women and children, the free
dom from weeds, and the neat appearance of the
closely trimmed hawthorn hedges were the adnira-
ton of our party.

THE PRENuER's RECEPTION OF THE LORDS
MISUNDERSTANDING AND UNWIsDOM OF
THE LORDs-A DEMAND FOR THEIR REFORM.
IFRON OUR OWN CORRESPONDENCE
LONDON, July 16-A good many Lords went into
the House of Commons Thursday night to hear what
was to become of their amendments. 1t took MI.
Gladstone about three minutes to tell them. When
the Lords dealt with the Reform bill in 1867 they
made sundry important alterations in it, some Of
INTELLECTUALLY the Minority Clause-were agreed
TO by the Commons ON the express ground that it
was desirable to show some respect to the wishes of
the Lords Two years have sufficed to dispol that
desire. Nobody much cares now to show any respect
for the Lords. There was time when the leader of
the House of Commons who had to propose a dsa-
gTeement with the Lords would have explained his
reasons at length, and with every form of Difference
When Mr.. Gladstone rose last night it was known
that he was about to reject the amendments in a
lump, aud the House cheered him to the echo before
he had said a word. When the cheers died away,
the Premier without phrase Of regret or ceremony
announced his purpose with respect to each of the
eleven amendments. OF each he drily con-
densed the purpOrt into a sentence, and
from each he would move that the House do
disagree. The partial exceptions in these cases were
unimportant relating only 20 matters Of form or
matters Of detail and of amount; and even as to
these the Lords proposals were not to be accented
without alteration Their real work is all swept
away. The postponement of the date Of disestab-
lishment, the Selling upon globes and houses, tho
snatchng at the Ulster lands and all the ingenious
proposals by which the Lords believed they had
secured tho TcGndOwment of the Irish Church, are
Tuthlessy rejected by the Prime Minister In sub
stance he says to the Lords that their grave deber
Rtions were no better than farce, and that their
effort 10 throw themselves across the path of the
nation is not to succeed
Nor, on the other hand, did the Tories make any
consderabefght for their allies in the Lords Mr. Dis
rae led them in the feeble way which was remarked
during the struggle in Committee. At that time
he left the real work to be done By his lieutenants
DIT. Ball and Mr. Claiborne Hardy the former supply
ing the legal knowledge, the latter the enthusiasm
Dir. Disraeli had neither No more did, he on this
occasion attempt to champion the House of Lords in
an effective way So sick is he Of fighting battle
he knows be lost, that he even smootbed the way
for the swift severity Of the House Business stand

che way Of prompt discussion was sAualed

THE BELGIAN DIFFICULTY EXPLAINED.

resulted In what Is practically triumph for the smaller
Power. The French Government has been obliged %
withdraw pretonsOns dictate to the Belgian author
tiles how they shall conduct their domestic affairs
The dispute II will be remembered originally from
the uterdIct which the Belgian Government and Cham
beers placed upon the transfer of the Great Luxembourg
Railway TO tho Eastern Company OF France. Consider
ing the part which railways now play In warlike opera
toms and the geographical circumstances Of the LuNcm-
bOurg line, 10 Is not surprising that tho Bolgaus should
discover possible menace TO their neutrality I'm this
Transaction BY recent decree all French railways
placed under the direct control OF tho Minister OF
War. and II the Eastern Company had been allowed
10 buy up tho Luxembourg Railway the result would
have been 70 give the French War Office authority
over an important branch Of the internal com.
muuicatons OF Belgium In putting veto on this bar
gain the Belgian Parliament only aNled itself of dis
crotonary power which Is both claimed and exercised
by tho governing body OF every other state In Europe,
ourselves among the number. In our own country two
native companies cannot nmalgumate without the
press permission OF the Legislature, far less native
line sell itself 20 foreign company. In cOnscntiug 10
