MR GLADSTONE.

Mr Gladstone, replying to an ad--dress presented to him by Scotch Liberals, declared that liis career was chargeable with many errors of judgment-, but was governed by uprightness of intention. His future attendance in Parliament, he said, would be uncertain, as after 60 years' contention he was glad to get relief from active conflict. The attitude of the House of Lords regarding the Liberal measures he thought demanded the earJy decision of the country. He concluded by stating that Lord Rosebery was a new spirit aiming to improve the workers' lot in England, but the greatest danger of the overgrown population was if they Were permitted to remain ignorant. Dr Nettleship certifies that Mr Gladstone has a cataract on each of his eyes. Mr Gladstone, in a letter to Mr John Cowan, chairman of his Mid- 1 lothian committee, virtually bids a stately and pathetic farewell to his constituents, and warns the democracy that they are entering on a period of great moral danger and had better beware of temptation, He urges them to give prominence to the interests of the whole instead of part of the community.
