A fresh list of honours for members of the defeated
party appeared yesterday. The Earl of Zetland, the retiring Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland, is to become a Marquis ; Viscount Cranbrook, the retiring Lord President of the Council, and Lord Willoughby d'Eresby are to become Earls. Mi. Cubitt, .Mr. Mulholland, Sir Rainald Knightley, and others less well known to the world become Peers of the United Kingdom. Chief Baron Panes, Sir Matthew Ridley, Mr. Jesse Collings, Mr. Staveley Hill, and Professor Huxley become Privy Coun- cillors, and take, therefore, the title of Right Honourable; while a considerable batch of Baronets is made, including Mr. John Jaffray, a leading Birmingham journalist and Liberal Unionist, Mr. Edward Lawson, the well-known pro- prietor of the Daily Telegraph, and Mr. Thomas Lea, the Liberal Unionist Member for South Londonderry, and several other names. A fair number of knights are also made. Of these the best-known are, perhaps, Dr. William Smith, the editor of the Quarterly Review, Mr. Ashmead- Bartlett, and Mr. Maple, both of them Conservative members of the House of Commons. We are glad to observe that Mr. Reginald Palgrave,, who succeeded Sir Erskine May as Clerk of the House of Commons, is to be made a K.C.B. The dis- tribution of honours will give general satisfaction, though some distinguished names will be missed.
