He has regained the eloquence which, seemed to have deserted fiitn 'on the platform recently. !He has been indefatigable m bringing m jail kinds of>< measures for the 'benefit of ■the* unborij millions," but they 'have taU. been uncernmoniously rejected, ,and his oratory has been wasted jon the Parliame.ataiy air. "PoorTole" ;has made a good; bargain for- himself, • and the rest of his following are trying •to see "what 1 they can get m other direc. jtions His personality remains as great las" ever." The respect^ which his age, lability, and public services commanded lis as great as eveT, "but bis influence m )the House has gone, for this Parliairaent at anyrate.", * -,■-■.' . . *
