To-night CLANRICARDE instinctively moved away from this locality. Discovered on back bench below gangway, from which safe quarter he delivered speech, showing how blessed is the lot of the light-hearted peasant on what he called "my campaign estates." The MARKISS and CLANRICARDE rose together. It was ten o'clock, the hour appointed for Leader of Opposition to interpose; in anticipation of that event the House crowded from floor to side galleries garlanded with fair ladies. Privy Councillors jostled each other on steps of Throne; at the Bar stood the Commons closely packed; TIM HEALY, anxious not again to be led into temptation, deserted this quarter; surveyed scene from end of Gallery over the Bar. The MARKISS stood for a moment at the table manifestly surprised that any should question his right to speak. According to Plan of Campaign prepared beforehand by Whips now was his time; ROSEBERY to follow; and Division taken so as to clear House before midnight. CLANRICARDE recks little of Plans of Campaign: stood his ground and finally evicted the MARKISS; cast him out by the roadside with no other compensation than the sympathy of HALSBURY and of RUTLAND, who sat on either side of him. When opportunity came the MARKISS rose to it. Speech delightful to hear; every sentence a lesson in style. Hard task for young Premier to follow so old and so perfect a Parliamentary hand. MARKISS spoke to enthusiastically friendly audience. ROSEBERY recognised in himself the representative of miserable minority of thirty; undaunted, undismayed, he played lightly with the ponderous personalities of ARGYLL, and looking beyond the heads of the crowd of icily indifferent Peers before him, seemed to see the multitude in the street, and to hear the murmur of angry voices. _Business done._--Lords throw out Evicted Tenants Bill by 249 votes against 30. _Thursday, Midnight._--Spent restful evening with Indian Budget. There is nothing exceeds indignation with which Members resent postponement of opportunity to consider Indian Budget, except the unanimity with which they stop away when it is presented. Number present during FOWLER'S masterly exposition not equal to one per ten million of the population concerned. Later, CHAPLIN endeavoured to raise drooping spirits by few remarks on bi-metallism. Success only partial. CLARK did much better. Genially began evening by accusing SQUIRE OF MALWOOD of humbugging House. That worth at least a dozen votes to Government in Division that followed. TIM HEALY, who can't abear strong language, was one who meant to vote against proposal to take remaining time of Session for Ministers. After CLARK'S speech, voted with and for the SQUIRE. CLARK closed pleasant evening by insisting on Division upon Statute Law Revision Bill running through Committee. "Will the hon. Member name a teller," said Chairman, blandly.
