Parliament was prorogued on Saturday last. On the Friday previous

there was a debate in the House of Lords in regard to Lord Hardwicke's ' connection with the Stock Exchange, raised by Lord Rosebery, with which we have dealt at length elsewhere. On Saturday in the Commons Mr. Bryn Roberts made a speech so foolish, so mischievous, and so incorrect that we do not care to summarise it. We may say, however, that we entirely endorse Mr. Brodrick's action when he declared that he held up Mr. Bryn Roberts "to the censure of the House, and the reprobation of every fair-minded man in the country." That reproof was severe, but it was well deserved.
