On 28th of March, came news of death of JOHN BRIGHT; fell like oil on troubled waters. OLD MORALITY bore testimony to his worth. GLADSTONE pronounced a splendid eulogy; HARTINGTON added a postscript; JUSTIN M'CARTHY spoke for Ireland; and CHAMBERLAIN, rising to height of occasion, informed the House, that Birmingham had never allowed the Statesman they mourned to pay any of the subscriptions ordinarily exacted from a Borough Member. Thereafter the House went on with its ordinary business. On 16th of April, GOSCHEN introduced Budget in smallest House gathered in similar circumstances for many years. Both ends made to meet by increase of Death Duties, and a little tinkering of the Malt Duty. About this time, the "NOBLE BARON," began to loom on horizon with his Sugar Bounties Convention. Much time wasted through remainder of Session over this matter. Government stood gallantly by "NOBLE BARON;" in the end, amid the jeers of Opposition, Sugar Bounties Bill withdrawn to avoid Ministerial defeat. On 14th of May, OLD MORALITY brought in Bill to establish Board of Agriculture for Great Britain, a measure which, happily passing, has dowered the country with CHAPLIN as Minister of Agriculture. Early in July, came on proposal to make provision for eldest Son of PRINCE OF WALES. Manifestations of opposition induced Government to present the matter in modified form of Motion for appointment of Select Committee to consider the whole question of provision for Members of Royal Family. This agreed to, after debate, in which SAGE of QUEEN ANNE'S GATE came to the front, keeping his place throughout subsequent proceedings. Great efforts made to buy off opposition of this incorruptible person; hesitated for brief moment, when position of Treasurer of Her Majesty's Household dangled before his eyes. Principal public duty of Treasurer, is to bring in gracious replies from the Throne to Addresses from faithful Commons. In his mind's eye, SAGE saw himself in Windsor uniform, with gold stripe adown trouser-leg, leaning lightly on white wand of office, as he stood at the Bar of the House awaiting the SPEAKER'S signal to bring up gracious reply. For a moment he faltered, but only for a moment. "No," he said, "England expects every man to do his duty, and LABBY will not disappoint expectation;" and he went straight off and put down five fresh Amendments. This, now published for the first time, is authentic. These debates on the Royal Grants were, perhaps, the most animated of Session. Vote for Royal Family of course granted, but in face of significant minority of 116. GLADSTONE supported Government, marching into Lobby against large majority of his own following, who turned aside with the Incorruptible SAGE. Oddest thing of all was to behold Irish Members voting with the Court Party--JOSEPH GILLIS going out shoulder to shoulder with ARTHUR BALFOUR, and TAY PAY hobnobbing with OLD MORALITY.
