Thursday.—Don’t Keir Harpre confided to House to-night the interesting fact that 2 he Don't Keir for the Royal Family, and is “ indispo to associate himself’’ with effort to do them special honour. Like old Eecles in Caste, he upbraids the baby in the cradle with being a young aristocrat. Yet there are limits even to his uncompromising Republitanism. The question before House is the presentation to Her Masesry of address of con- ratulation on birth of son of Duke and Duchess of York, “If I had the opportunity of meeting the parents,” says Don’r Kerr, “I should be pleased to join in the ordinary congratulations of the oceasion.”” He did not hesitate, standing in his place in Parliament as representative of the electors of "Am, to add that he “‘ had been delighted to learn that the child was a fairly healthy one.” Beyond that, stern principle would not permit him to pass. Note that he felt constrained to modify even this approval of pro- ceedings at White Lodge by introduction of the word “ fairly.” AsevurTu, who knows all about it, seemed for moment inclined to resent this aspersion on the perfect soundness of the object of his recent attentions; on reflection he let it pass. SaunpErson, of whom House has seen lamentably little of late, was under less com- lete self-restraint. When Don't Kere turned his attention upon Prince of WALmS, proposing to appraise his value to the nation, Saunperson leaped to his feet, and moved that “the hon. Member be no longer heard.” A difficult moment this. The Motion being made, the Speaker must put it from the Chair.
