Sir G. Grey.

With reference to Sir George. Grey, the Times' London corres pondent writes, under date July 26tbf i -?-There is little fresh to report concerning your Grand Old Man. His health flickers. One day he seems better, the next worse; ode day a wee bit stronger, the next feebler than before. On the whole he appears somewhat brighter and better at the moment of writing. I talked with him for a while the other day about the elections and the annihilation of the Liberal Party. Sir George Grey put it down to Home Rule, especially the nature of the Home Rule scheme adopted. Had Mi 1 Gladstone promulgated his (Sir George's) plan the feeling of the country would have been very different, he thought, towards if. But the veteran etatepman does not care to discuss the difficulties of the present and the future. . He lives, like Mr Gladstone, ohiefly in a remote past, and will gossip by ihe hour |a a good listener of interesting people He knew long ago.
