hand, and giving close attention.: as he
does to everything that passes. BY the
way, his face greatly disappoints me in
one respect; there is nothing of the
Joyine breadth and fullness Of brow I
expected; but there is a great depth
from brow to cerebellum, and strong,
well-defned features. There is a nerV-
Gus twitching Of the muscles of his head
and face, which probably results from
hard work. Gladstone rises and opens
the debate on the Opposition side, in an.
adroit speech of eight minutes, evident
ly reserving himself for q fuller assault
later in the evening. He is the most
un-English speaker I have yet heard,
and the best. Disraeli shows great tact
in determining how far to persist and
when to yield. In that essential point
of leadership, Palmerston has probably
never been excelled. Disraefi is no
mean disciple of his. Gladstone, with
more ability than either, is said to be
especially lacking in that respect.
''After several more amendments
have been given up with apparent re-
luctance, but for the sake of harmony,
the amendment of Lord Cairns is reach
ed, on which the ministry intends to
make stubborn fight Bright opens
the attack in a speech of half an hour
or more Though cordially disliked by
the Tories, he compels attention at
once. With form like that of Sena-
tor Wilson, OF Massachusetts, he has a
large, round, full, tine, massive head,
and straight, almost delicate nose. He
has full, rotund voice, and, like Glad

me Times admitted this mornino in
a mean attack on him, that John
Bright was the most skillful speaker in
England, and, in some kinds oforatory,
the first orator.
Il notice that many OF the leaders
were high honor men at the UNIVERSE
ties. Gladstone took 'double-hrst;
Roundell Palmer took first in class
les, and many other classic honors and
prizes. NIL! IS not a university man,
but his Logic has been textbook at
Oxford for twenty years. Tom Hughes,
who made Rugby and himself immortal,
was not a tirst-class scholar. Forster
is good speaker and Radical, but !

AT 10 Gladstone rose and spoke Tor
nearly an hour, going into the whole
question with great clearness and in
cisive force. He spoke with much
more feeling than any other except
Bright. Gladstone was followed by
Lowe, who IS considered the strongest
man OF his school, in the House. he
sits on the Opposition side; but on TINS
question OF suffrage is Conservative.
he is nearly blind and spoke without
notes ana With ms eyes apparently
shut. he combines sharpness with 9 !,

sallant. 1t was exceedingly line, the
way he sought out and javelined the
exposed joints OF his antagonists har-

About half-past II q division was had,
which resulted: 2O6 against, and 25S
in favor This is strong example OF
the influence OF the ministry. When
the same principle was discussed in the
Commons a few weeks ago, Disraell
made q strong speech against it, and 1T
was negatlved by 40 majority. It has
been very curious to see what different
and opposite motives have moved men
to favor this new feature IN representa-
