FROM "TIRE WORLD." I  Lord Wilton, whose state of health still once.. ciliates his remaining abroad, has lent the pretty house in CoHingham Gardens to his daughter, Lady Elizabeth Taylor, who has arrived there with her husband for the season. I am rejoiced to hear of a decided improvement in the health of Mr. John O'Connor. A few weeks ago the reports were very dim:tonna:tag, but he has rallied, and is on the point of returning home, if he has not already started. Mr. O'Connor has been passing the winter in India on a visit to his eon, who is engaged in business there. One would suppose that the story about the " honours " which are alleged to be in store for Lord Salisbury and Mr. Balfour, in the shape of a dukadom for the former and • " title " for the latter, is too palpably idiotic even for a " London correspondent " to eiroulate. The feet is that Lord Salisbury reused a dukedom two yearn ago, when the Queen pressed him to take it as a memorial of the Jubilee. Mr Balfour is the very last man in the world to commit political suicide by accepting " a title," in the very improbable event of no absurd an offer being made to him eeriously. The Volunteers who have been in camp with the Regulars this Easter have won golden opinions everywhere. "The Volunteers I" it used to be said; "0, they are all very well, but they have no discipline." Discipline tn-da3 seems to be the leading restore of our citizen withers. They hove net a good instead ot • bad example to their Line comrades, and one oomemanding.offictir, who has seen a good deal of them, declares that " men to thoroughly in hand, under officers to full of meal and enthusiasm, are a military bady by no WIMP to be despised." So they think in Germany. —•—  Glenfeshie Forest and its grouse-shooting will be to let this season, the _regrettable cause being that Sir Charism Mordaunt is unable to shoot, owing to a severe &adore of the arm, occasioned by a fall in hunting. The Bishop of Durham is so much better that there is now a reasonable prospect of hie returning to Durham within the next few weeks. His recovery is extraordinary, but the doctors attribute it mainly to the removal of the anxiety he was undergoing during the time that there was no one officiating in bin diocese. He had induced Bishop Sandford to leave Tasmania to take the post of Suffragan Biehop of Durham, and in order to enable him to do no had conferred one of his largest livings on him. But Bishop Sandford could not be presented te the living until be had landed in England, and the Bishop of Durham's great , fear was that he would die before Bishop Sandford arrived, and, as there would be no certainty that his successor would carry out bis intentions, Bishop Sandford might land to find hie patron dead, and his successor to the see of Tasmania appointed. Foi ,ately all went as the Bishop desired, and there is every prospect of his 130013 going back to Durham, to be assisted in his many works by Bishop Sandford.  Over four hundred solicitors have accepted invitations to the Attorney-General's banquet on the 28th instant, and over four thousand have signed the complimentary address. The precise venue of the dinner will be fixed in the course of a few hours, but there is a strong feeling in favour of Her Majesty's, where Mr. Toil Heatley has generously offered unusual facilities.  France will be quiet daring the Exhibition. He who would jeopardise its success would have every tradesman in that thrifty country against him. There must thus be a truce between the parties till the autumn elections. As Mr. Bargus, M.P., says in The Weaker Sex, the question lies in a nutshell. Either the brave General will be elected in an enormous number of districts, or he will not. If he is, he will have a chance of becoming Dictator at no distant date. He will then, acoording to Inc programme, sweep away the Senate, govern through Ministers who will be chosen by himself and be his creatures ; he will have one Chamber with restricted* powers, and a Referendum, something like that in Switzerland, for great questions. If, on the contrary, be is not victorious at the elections, the ("overnment will naturally be greatly strengthened, at least for the moment, and it ought to attempt to carry out the Ferry programme without delay.
