CAUSE OF WANT OF SUCCESS.
By this time good part OF his audience had gone honc
many having heard What he said and others
not liking what they had heard. Lancashire, dis
tnguished above all things for its definite mind,
scandazed not having great principles to lay
hold Of and TO quote against the opponents who tainted
them with their want of programme. In that hail
from which Mr. Bright had sent wondering and inspired
audiences away, Mr.. Disraei had given them only one
piece Of advice, namely TO take cold. could myself
have made Tory programme that would at least have
lasted week. II Mr.. Disrae had given one that would
have lasted day, his admirers might have been
ubilant the next morning. but 1t clearly not in his
mind, and he was not equal to the occasion. He ap
peared received too many Of those attentions Of
a vinOus KIND which Lord John Manners on certain oc
casions has paid him in the House Of Commons. His
did get husky and his sentences did not de-
generate into sblans in the marked manner they have
done certain occasions in the House Of Commons;
but there that manifest lassitude OF mind which
destroys the charm OF great Grafton. In sporting
phrase familiar to boatracers Mr. Dsraen could not
pull himself together-his mind was three hours and
a quarter apart He actually spoke that length of
time The end Of the first hour, and indeed be-
fore, he quite cracked up and his audience lost
interest in him. He delivered elegant essay, the
whole. not devoid of amusing reading, raey satire,
Disraean phrases, and brilliant figures Of speech as
when he said that he opposite the Treasury Bench,
the Ministers reminded him Of those marine landscapes

CRITICISM ON The SPEAKER.
The silence OF the local press morning to the
personal effect OF the speech very remarkable. Even
The Courier the Tory organ in Manchester, could only
justify what omitted instead Of being able TO praise
what it contained Lord Derby whose object to say
agreeable things to his friend could only say that his
speech had been listened TO with interest" The Lon
don Standard defends the failure by saying Mr. Disrae
not unwise to let his Radical opponents
