In spite of Mr. Gladstone's illness, there appears to be

some- thing of his own spirit in the Government. The Employers' Liability Bill, the Hares and Rabbits Bill, and probably the Burials Bill, are to be pressed ; and these measures, with the un- finished work of Supply, and the Indian financial statement, the day for which is not yet fixed, will make the Session by no means a fruitless one. if the Hares and Rabbits Bill is carried, the farmers, at least, will have little reason to complain of the Session. For in a fragmentary Session, they will have gained the repeal of the Malt-tax, and the abolition of all the most prejudicial effects of the Game-laws.
