Surely it is the concession, or non-concession, of a separate Parliament, and not the concession of four or any number of minor points laid down by any Unionist leader at any particular time, which really divides Unionist from Gladstonian Liberals.—

I am, Sir, do., W. H. Rm. Six-Mile Bottom, near Newmarket, September 6th.
