GLADSTONE. e Cable. ¥, 19.—Jennings’ special says: v9 the best information that can +d, Mr. Gladstone has quite given mp ail thought of resigning (if he ever | cuast setiously entertained it) till after the next session. He never. was . in better. health, -or so well. able to pertorm the multifarious duties of his two offices. His-capacity for work is as wonderful. as eyer. Every day: he gets through twice an ordinary man’s allowance, and yet he always has vlenty of -time to re- celve visitors and make a speech. All parties hope he will remain where he is. ‘The Whigs regard him -as a sort of a Westinghouse brake to the Radical faction, and the Tories would rather sve him at the head of-affairs than Mr. Chamberlain, It may, therefore, be taken for granted that the next session will see no change in the Liberal leadership, unless the unforeseen occurs. ME. WALTON, before sailing for ;:New York, indignantly denied the Insinuations made by some of the sporting journals that he had bribed jockeys and trainers.

The Times, commenting on the trial of Guileau, says: “The admiration and sym- pathy ‘for the illustrious victim excited in Europe by President Gartield’s death are.too great wo admit much concern about the mo- tives and conduct of the criminal. In Amer- ica, as in Great. Britain, some amendinent in the conduct of criminal trials seems called for when the prisuner’s means deny him a free choice of advocates. In both countries, however, the Judge may, happily, be trusted to. supplement any deliclency on the weaker side. The American Narion neither desires to sacrifice a lunatic, nor to be so facile in the accepance of counterteit evidence of disease as to eucourage wantun assasination.”” GERMANY.

Some of the Conservatives were delighted ac heart, but the Democrats, {ndependent several.
