Of all the members of 'lie Eibc’.al party, Mr. Asquith is declared to he the most formidable opponent to woman’s suffrage. The Premier is not in agiecmont with other members of the Cabinet- who desire to press the Bill. The Government may, vhciafore, recognise the tactical advantage of passing the measure over to ihc Lords, by whom in all probability it will bo rejected.

BRITISH "MAGISTRACY. 1 LIBERAL ASPIRANTS OVERLOOKED. London, May 2-1. Regarding the differences between the Lord Chancellor (Lord Loreburn) and the Cabinet with respect to the appointment of Justices of the Peace, the Hon. Neil Primrose’s complaint that Liberals were persistently overlooked in favour of Conservatives received scant attention. AVhe',, however, the complaint was reiterated by the' Ministerial Whip, it evoked the response that no further appointments were being considered. The next thing heard was that six Conservatives in the Isle cf Ely had been added to the magistracy. The Hon. Neil Primrose thereupon penned a sharp nolo to Lord Loreburn, in the course of which ho wrote: “I venture to think that there are better men and with bettor claims among the Liberals in that district, and great dissatisfaction prevails there that the party which raised your lordship to your present hijgh position should bo treated with tins studied neglect.”
