I po not know how long the Summer Season at Texxy's, now being carried on by Mr. Geonaz Epwaxpss, is to last, but with a little dexterous management there is no reason why this excellent form of entertainment should not go om all the year round. At 8 there is The Lancastire Sailor, by Baanpow Tuomas, which I didn’t see; but have heard a first-rate report of it from those who have, and who “*know.” It might occasionally change places with A Commission. However, this is but a suggestion, as both the pieccs I saw the other night will bear a second visit. A Commission is a short one-act piece, with a sufficiently good plot, and every part in it a character, except “‘ Parker, the Maid” —and here let me enter a solemn against the further use of “Parker” as the name of a y's-maid in farce or comedy. Parcenr is played out. Let her be united to ‘* Cuances, his Friend,” and let both enjoy their well-earned retirement from the stage. Miss Lity Hanecar y - ** Mrs. Hemmersiey, a rich young widow,” which cannot be described as ‘‘a poor part.” With this Lity, who looks rich and is beautiful, the poor artist—a very poor artist—one Marshaii (without a Christian name in the bill, so why | the not Snelgrove Marshall?) well played by Dr. Fonnes Dawson, falls ay in love. Werepow GrossmitH is very good as the servant —aimost better as the servant than as the author of the piece, and that’s saying a good deal. The Pantomime Rehearsal is eminently funny ; especially the first scene between the four men, Messrs, Eyuior, Danzmors, GaossmiTs, and Baaxpow Tuomas, As for the last-mentioned, it is well worth & visit to this theatre to see Mr. Baanpon Taomas in two pieces, first bat I can call to mind no actor on the stage at the t moment who could in two different characters on the same night so completely and absolutely lose his identity,—for voice, manner, action, and of course appearance are all utterly changed,—as does Mr. Branpon Tuomas as (Gloucester the Model, and as Captain Tom Robinson. All the ladies are good. Miss Herewa Dacar looks magnificent. Then Miss Lorre Cuester combines prettiness with fun, and the duet between her and clever Miss Lavra Linpen is enthusiastically encored—and deservedly so, for it is seldom that two young actresses will “fe in” for a real genuine bit of nonsensical oe an win. In fact it is all good, ** and if our friends in front” accept my tip, they will not find a more ‘‘summery”’ form of entertain- ment than at Mr. Eowanrpes’ Terky’s Theatre, Jack-IN-THR- Box.

House of Commons, Monday, June 15.—Ricuand CHAMBERLAIN back to-ntet,, after long absence. Been up the Nile, calling on Provemy and Puanaon, and visiting scenes connected with the early life of Brother Josern. Much enjoyed the trip; entered House to-night full of life and energy ; suddenly pulled up; hair rose; flesh crept; blood chilled. Wasit true? Coul it be possible? Yes; no doubt about it. There was Prince Antuvr still lounging on Treasury Bench with Mappezw in reserve. About a score of Members present, including Wmrpsac Sexton, looking on with his irritating smile of supreme superiority, whilet Saez of Queen Annes Gate moved rejection of Irish Land Purchase Bill. “Why!” exclaimed Brother Dick, his hair still visibly rising, “‘ when I was here last, weeks and months ago, were discussing Irish Land Bill; Prince AnTHUR sprawled on Treasury Bench; Laney was denouncing the Bill as pernicious ; and Sexton, having just sat down and just qoing to follow, looked on with sort of pitying ion of other people who assumed to know anything of the Bill. Do I dream, or are there visions about ? Think ca og pinch Jzssx CoLiines, and see if I’m awake.” ; Yes ; wide awake; no mistake about the situa- tion ; still arg on ee Irish Land Bill; bat, thank a merciful Providence, this is the last night. Jous Morisey, who never shrinks from call of duty, rises, and makes one of those formal, offi sial, somewhat tiresome protests, recapitulating ob- jections which everyone only too familiar with through this spring and saddened sum- mer. Then Sace or Queew Anne's Gate cracks a few jokes; Morton appears on scene; attempt made to Count Oat; talk kept soins through dinner hour. At eleven o'clock Prince AxTHuR rises ; benches fill up; then, when everyone read for Division, strangers in Gallery startled by mighty roar of execra- tion; looking round with startled gaze in search of explanation, diseover at corner-seat below Gangway a dapper figure uplifted on supernaturally high-heeled boots, with trousers tightly drawn to display proportions of limbs that would have made Sim Tappertit green with envy; a black frock coat, buff waistcoat, coloured tie, a high collar, a wizened countenance, just now wrinkled with spasmodic contortion. kindly meant for an ingratiating smile. This is Seymove Keay. House may roar at him as the dog that crosses the Epsom Course when the bell rings for the Derby is howled at. He has, in return for the contumely, only a smile, a deprecatory wave of the hand and Brother Dick. ogue. House up the roar; Keay waves his ringed hand, pleasantly at the Speaxer, and at any- thing approaching a lull, shouts half a sentence at top of his voice. For full ten minutes contest continued. Then Srzaxer rises; Keay sits down, glad of interval of rest, and hopeful that Srzakex is about to rebuke his interrupters. ** The question is,” said the Srzaxer, ‘that this Bill be now read a Third Time.” Before Keay realised situation, House is cleared for Division, and his final on Land Parchase Bill remains unspoken.

Instead of evading respon- sibilities, colouring facts, doing what Ministers usually do when in a fix, Goner simply, boldly, cynically, told the trath. The Sewaratri of Mawirur was an ambitious, capable, man who might breed mischief for the rule of the Empnressof Inpra. So the Sewapatri eat Ue eet aoe at —a ag ey moment, ~] —_ most absolutely complete , trary this; tyranni : ast Ly . None of Gonsr’s business to defend or extenuate wall e could say was it is not a new thing ; done wherever British flag waves under foreign skies; in New Zealand with the Maori King; in South Africa with Cerxwaro; in Egypt with Anani; in the Soudan with Zesenr. ‘'In India,” said Goust, leaning his elbow lightly on the table, ‘they have always hated and discouraged independent and original talent ; always loved and mediocrity.’’ As he finished this and ightful ism, Gonst looked up at the Peers’ , where sat his , Graxp C successor of Ciive in the Government of India. His glance tra downward, till it rested on the Treasury Bench, and fell gently on the figure of Otp Moratiryr. How Dizzy would have delighted in this speech, with this last exquisite touch! The Squire of Matwoop, in his secret not less egqeeeiativas but debate must be kept up, and he joined in the DB ted this fresh and original hue and cry with which Mediocrity resen way of treating things. Even Camppett-BaNWERMAx shook his head. “It is brilliant,” he said, ‘* but it is not discretion,” Business done.— A good deal. Thursday.—Government met with awkward defeat on Factories Bill. Not quite certain to whom they chiefly owe it, whether to Gorst or MatrHews. Question arose on Sypney Buxton’s Amend- ment, raising the of child-labourers to a minimum of eleven years. Debate all night; a pleasant contrast to the unreality of Irish Debate; Benches crowded ; audience interested; speeches practical ; Gorst in attendance, though doubtfal whether he would speak, Usually sits in modest retirement under shadow of Speaksn’s Chair. To-night marked slight difference of opinion from his by taking up corner-seat on Treasury Bench by Gangway, quite out of reach ot hand-shake from Home Sxcretary. MounpeLta, i to be at Martruews, waiti on Front Opposition Bench; Matruews, earnestly desiring ision with UNDELLA, lingered the long night through on Treasury Bench. At last dragged into arena by Jonn Mortey. Painfully conscious of Gorst on his right hand. Why couldn’t he go away? Why sit there smiling when Marruews fioundered, and why turn over the of the Blue Book with such subtle air of contradiction when ou ay from proceedings of Berlin Conference ? midnight Ww on, ex- citement increased. Uncer- tain how Division would go.

Seated in side Gallery facing Treasury Bench was J. 8. Batrour; (no rela- tion of Prince AxTHUR’s, bren entendu) Question put; Di- vision bell rang; the bustle of eight hundred departing feet disturbed J. 8. B., and, stepping carefully down from the inconveniently high Bench, he walked out to take part in the Division. ** All very well, dear Tosr,” he said, ‘talking about eleven being the age for half-timers. Eleven seems to me about the figure at which we should knock off here. When it gets on to twelve in this hot weather, I almost feel as if I could go to sleep.” Business done.—Sypney Boxron’s Amendment to Factories Bill carried by 202 Votes against 186. Friday.— Question to-night, how would Government take their defeat of yesterday? Soon settled; at earliest moment Matraews a poe at table, announced that Government ‘‘ fully and cordi- ally” accepted decision of House. It was true that fag Die ved, with fullest strength, Sypvey Boxron’s proposal. He himeelf, in powerfal , had demonstrated that, if Amendment were added to the Bill, the heavens would fall, and the British Empire would toitsdoom. But that only his play; Gonsr — obliged to the House for beating them, and Clause would be added to Bill. Done accordingly. and Third Readin 7 Report stage of Factories’ Bill run through, g taken. Odd thing befell the universe last week. —y to mention in this Diary Wooron Isaacson, Member for Tower Hamlets, the dissolute Artist drew fancy portrait of Lewis Isaacs, Member Newington ; labelled it from Dod, “‘A P ive Con . Oddly enough, both Isaacs and Isaacson write themselves down in Dod “A Progressive Conservative.” So our Artist ( y quite clear-headed), got mixed up with the family ; descended, so to +peak, from Isaac to Isaac's son. Not quite sure towhich spolosy is ue. Just as well to mention it, so that, when the New Zealander reads his Punch a century or two hence, he may have a clear con- ception of the actuality. Business done.—Quite a lot. No Relation of Prince Arthur's. for » More Roseraw Trnawny.—Punch is not admitted into Russia unless bound.
