_Tuesday._--A precious sight, one worthy of the painter's or sculptor's art, to see majestic figure of SQUIRE OF MALWOOD standing between House of Lords and imminent destruction. Irish members and Radicals opposite have sworn to have blood of the Peers. SAGE OF QUEEN ANNE'S GATE is taking the waters elsewhere. In his absence do the best we can. Sat up all last night, the Radicals trying to get at the Lords by the kitchen entrance; SQUIRE withstanding them till four o'clock in the morning. Began again to-night. Education Vote on, involving expenditure of six millions and welfare of innumerable children. Afterwards the Post Office Vote, upon which the Postmaster-General, ST. ARNOLD-LE-GRAND, endeavours to reply to HENNIKER-HEATON without betraying consciousness of bodily existence of such a person. These matters of great and abiding interest; but only few members present to discuss them. The rest waiting outside till the lists are cleared and battle rages once more round citadel of the Lords sullenly sentineled by detachment from the Treasury Bench. When engagement reopened SQUIRE gone for his holiday trip, postponed by the all-night sitting, JOHN MORLEY on guard. Breaks force of assault by protest that the time is inopportune. By-and-by the Lords shall be handed over to tender mercies of gentlemen below gangway. Not just now, and not in this particular way. CHIEF SECRETARY remembers famous case of absentee landlord not to be intimidated by the shooting of his agent. So Lords, he urges, not to be properly punished for throwing out Evicted Tenants Bill by having the salaries of the charwomen docked, and BLACK ROD turned out to beg his bread. Radicals at least not to be denied satisfaction of division. Salaries of House of Lords staff secured for another year by narrow majority of 31. _Business done._--Nearly all. _Wednesday._--The SQUIRE OF MALWOOD at last got off for his well-earned holiday. Carries with him consciousness of having done supremely well amid difficulties of peculiar complication. As JOSEPH in flush of unexpected and still unexplained frankness testified, the Session will in its accomplished work beat the record of any in modern times. The SQUIRE been admirably backed by a rare team of colleagues; but in House of Commons everything depends on the Leader. Had the Session been a failure, upon his head would have fallen obloquy. As it has been a success, his be the praise. "Well, good bye," said JOHN MORLEY, tears standing in his tender eyes as he wrung the hand of the almost Lost Leader. "But you know it's not all over yet. There's the Appropriation Bill. What shall we do if WEIR comes up on Second Reading?" "Oh, dam WEIR," said the SQUIRE.
