Writes the London correspondent of the Dublin Freeman's Journal :— " Mr. Clifford Lloyd is at present to be seen hunting the lobby of the House of Commons, looking very much bent and broken after his failure in Egypt. The Government find him something of a white elephant. Having sacrificed everything he had to sacrifice in their service in Ireland, they cannot discard him. Besides doiug so would be a serious discouragement to Lord Spencer's other lieutenants, who are trying to emulata Mr. Forster's protegi in th?ir methods of government. With a career beuin t him such a' he has, they cannot send Mr. Clifford Lloyd to any colonial app. intment. His employment in England is likewise out of the question, so that they will probably try to find something to do for hitn in Ireland again."
