Mr. Balfour has been making a few not very important

speeches at Manchester, on Education and the defensive organisation of the Kingdom, but has said nothing of any consequence which it is at all necessary to record. He reserves, as usual, his chief politicil speech to his constituents till it is too late for the weekly papers to read or comment on it. We wonder why Friday and Saturday seem to be the days most favoured by political orators of the first rank. Perhaps they hold that it is well to give the weekly journalists full time to consider and revise and amend what the much-hurried journalists of the daily Press say in haste and repent at leisure.
