Mb W. H. Fishbe, the Conservative member for Fulham, and Mr J. W. Logan, the Gladstonian member for Harboro, accepted the invitation by the Speakor to apologise to the House for provoking the fracas that disgraced the Commons on Thursday. T. P. O'Connor had already apologised. This sottlea the silly twaddle that the row was caused by the "shameless" conduct of the Tor'os. Mr Fisher is forty years of age, and besides being a barrister, he a bueiness man, and should have known better than to take notice of the blackguards who alwaya refer to Mr Chamberlain as " Judas." If such a term can be applied {appropriately to one man more than another in the House of Commons, it ia to Mr Gladstone, who in 1832 entered Parliament as the Conservative member for Newark, remained a Conservative till 1851, and then hovered for years between thotwo great parties, but generally managed to get into office, and then finding that his conscience squared with his greed of power, he severed hia connection with his former friends Mr Logan is forty-eight years of age, and is a railway contractor. In consequense of Messrs Fisher and Logan having apologised, there is to be no committee of en juiry. Mr Pen Tilleit thinks it would tend to the orderly conduct of business if the Unionists sat on the opposite side of the House to the Irish Ministerialists. This is the -first we have heard of Mr Tilletfc for a long , time. His defeat at the last general elections, when ho stood for West Bradford, seems to have sobered him down a bit. He had been elected an Alderman, and thought that no one could touch him, but when the numbers went up he found ha was badly beaten by both the Liberal and the Conservative candidates.— H.R.H. the Duko of Counaught has done the Australian cricketers the honor of enters taining them at a luncheon, and aiterwards of giving them a special escort during thoir inspection of the Portsmouth dockyard. If the Australians had not been good follows, these civilities would not have been shown them.—Lord Onflow says New Zealand wants men with a small amount of capital who are willing and able to work upon the land Our late Governor speaks as onehavingauthority; but really wedo not think that this colony 13 singular in its wants in respect of energetic men of means and aptitude.— Queensland is being accused of enticing immigration to suit the interests of politicians and land-jobbers. The Investors' Review is especially severe on that colony, with or without reason we cannot say. English journals are easily gulled by disappointed colonists. —?ho Daily Chronicle, a rabid Glad<stonian £aper, suggests that Mr Fisher, the member for Fulham, should resign for attacking Mr Logan. The tuggestion is as likely to bo taken as much notice of as one coming from tho Standard that Mr Logan should retign for provoking the attack. What is strange is that Mr Meilor, the Chairman of Committees, has not resigned in favor of a member who is capab'e of keeping a whip-hand over the proceedings.
