It hnij been wise, it hatbeen firm it has been consistent, and, above all, it has been straighforward and honest, as they expect the conduct of an English gentleman to be. High as it has been, we fee! confident that, the speech which he inadu yesterday will raise it, not only i:i tlioir eMMimaHon. but in that of upon three. principal subjects. Tlu-ji.---vu-e the attitude of the Govcrninetw on the Xear Eastern question, tho Coiiffo, and the forthcoming visit of the "czar. He treated all of them wiih a convincing cotnon sense and candour, which will assuredly satisfy the public opinion of the nation."
