POLITICS. PERSONALITIES DIVORCE AND DEATH.
LONDON, March 10. 1875.
1t is scarcely possible to imagine anything more
deplorably dull than the debates in both houses
during the present session. With the exception
OF the night when DR.. Kenealy demanded per.
sonal explanation from Mr.. Evelyn Ashley, on
which occasion the Prince OF Wales was present

most important act or the government has been q
negative one, the withdrawal of the Judeature
BILL q proceeding which took place, it Is said, at
the des.e OF the LORD Chancellor, who threatened
to resign his appointment II the bill were perse-
vercd with. As. however, on the adjournment for
tho Easter holidays, which viii take place in

his noble friend, and the feeling OF disa appointment
about Lord Harrington, who Is not even punctual
in his attendance. Is widespread throughout the
liberal party.

land garb and who, standing up in the rumble OF
the carriage and bareheaded. was apparently
in the Memorial since Her Majesty's last visit.
