' Nothing could have been less calculated to impresa the visitors with the power and dignity of the British Parliament than the scene which they witnessed. The souse was comparatively empty, not more than a hundred members being present, and questions being asked and answered in a conversational style, and proceedings amounted to a little more than a dumb show, quite in contrast to the scene presented when some great political controverey—as will be the case to-night—is engaging attention. Cetewayo appeared rather amused than impressed, and dating the latter part of hit( short stay it Was noticed that he yawned frequently and without any attempt to dissemble. Mr. R. E. Winn, his interpreter, sat beside him, and pointed out to him M. Gladstone, Sir William Harcourt, Mr. Childers, and other Ministers, whom he scanned with evident interest.
