TO 24S. The smalness of tho majority IL thought 20
be due partly 70 Mr. Brights speech-a unusual
elect 10 be produced by speech on any question
which takes partisan turn. Mr. Gladstone spoke
and voted for the bill. The whole Liberal party
was for it, and il is possible that by next year Mr..
Disraeh viii have made up his mind he must edu-
cate hs party mp 70 the point of accepting it.
The presence and speeches of Mr. Gladstone and
Mr. Bright yesterday gave the House more
something of its old air There was nothing of the
invalid about either Of them, and there can be no
doubt that their coming down to the House. and the
knowledge that they meant to take part in the de-
bate secured a very full attendance. Mr.. Gladstones
name IL still flag TO which his old followers rally.
Lord HartingtOns Leadership becomes purely tituar
the moment his old chief appears the scene There
has been no division Of opinion between them
certainly no expression Of any, nor do | be-
heve there is likely TO he. But such a thing To
happen-on any other than one of Mr.. GladstOne's
ecclesiastical bobbies-it would be In an instant
that ability and authority go together. Mr.. Glad
stone Is not and never can be merely private MEM
ber No mere IL Mr.. Bright. who peghaps was never
much deferred 20 as since be resumed his old
place.
The relations between the House of Commons and
the Press which have been discussed much Of late
are satisfactory 10 neither party. don't think the
Gft~S long DC content WIFI the pOSlIlOn OF
tolerance they now hold--publishmg reports of de-
bates for which they ore liable any day ~ be sum
mOned 10 the bar. The Press could better afford TO
do without the House, than the House Ia DO without
the Press. No small part of the present influence
Of Parliament is due to the fullness OF the reports
the papsIs-nOt in London only, but all over the
KngdOm-give 10 It's constituency. If speak of
individual members, il may be said in many
that the Press has created them, and in many more
that il has vasty extended their reputation. With
eye this of things Mr. Sullivan s going
to ask Mr.. Dsrae tonight whether be will propose
some reform On the other hand Mr.. Waddy has
obtained leave TO bring In bill to register News
papers and periodicals, with-here comes the sting
the names Of the proprictOrs, editors. and printers
thereof MI Waddy seems to have been chagTined
By the failure of Mr.. Wright TO get summons
against Dr. Kenealy Mr. Wright is q sub-editOr of
The Morning advertiser, and felt himself aggrieved
because he called a violent ROmanist and other
hard names in The EnOlishmon. On attempting to
proceed crminally against DR.. Kencaly be was
stopped by-among other things-the difficulty of
proving that Dr. Kenealy is the ed tor Of that paper
The printer and other people connected with il de-
cned 10 testify, and the magistrate supported them
in their refusal, the ground that their evidence
might tend to cnminate themselves. So the Doctor
discharged amid applause in court, echoed ont
side by great crowd of his admirers. But don't
think il likely Mr. Waddy--who has taken up a
mission to put down Keneay-wi0 be likely 10 get
his present bin passed. 9.w.s.
