CHRONICLE OF THE WEEK.

QUEEN. I

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.— ADDRESSES TO THE

N two graceful speeches in the House o f Lords on Thursday week, the Earl of Rosebery moved, and the Marquis of Salisbury seconded, the presentation of an Address to the Queen congratulating her Majesty on the birth of a son and heir to their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess o f York. References were made by both speakers to the gratifying fact that her Majesty was able to-day to see around her no less than three heirs male in the direct line of the ancient and historic Throne which she occupies. From the Throne, said Lord Rosebery, for fifty-seven years we have had an •example of purit) and dignity of life such as has never been ■ exhibited in the same degree from the same eminence, and o f her Majesty’s family it might be said that, by their -example, and by their sympathy with the nation in the various interests which the nation had at heart, they had sweetened the air o f these three Kingdoms. In the old traditions of France, the sons of the Monarch were called •“ The Sons of France,” and it might be hoped that this mew-born child might come to be in truth a son of Great ZBritain, and be educated to the high traditions and responbilities which that noble title involved. The Address was agreed to unanimously. Sir W. Harcourt moved an Address o f Congratulation to her Majesty on the birth of an heir to ■ the Duke and Duchess o f York. Mr. Balfour seconded it in a short speech. Mr. Keir-Hardie then rose, and proceeded to protest against any such public expression of congratulation. He went on to comment upon various members o f the Royal Family amid great and growing signs of disapproval and dissatisfaction, his remarks sometimes eliciting loud laughter, sometimes cries of “ Oh,” and sometimes loud and continuous cries o f “ Divide.” H e persevered, however, with his speech to its close, and intimated that he would divide the House on the Motion. The Speaker put the question, and Mr. Keir-Hardie’s was the only voice that called out “ No.” Once or twice more the Speaker put the question, which was received each time with a vociferous chorus of Ayes, and with a solitary “ No ” from Mr. KeirHardie. The room was cleared for a division, and on the question being again formally put, it was received with

another loud shout of approval. “ No,” said Mr. KeirHardie again, but he did not call for a division. I f he had, he would not have succeeded in finding a teller. The motion was thereupon declared carried.

On Monday the House resumed, in throDugEh Committee the consideration o f the proc om m it t e e . posed new Clauses in the Pinance Bill, and the Chancellor o f the Exchequer moved the Clause by which he proposes to deal with the death duty upon Colonial estates owned by persons domiciled in this country. After considerable discussion, the Clause was read a second time and added to the Bill. A proposal by Sir J. Lubbock, that the Income-Tax should be levied upon one year’s income instead of upon the average of three years, was negatived by 177 to 125. Shortly after ten o ’clock the Committee stage of the Bill was completed, and the Bill was reported to the House amid cheers. The Chancellor o f the Exchequer moved the re-commitment o f the Bill in respect to Clause 27, which imposes an additional duty o f sixpence per gallon on spirits distilled within the British Islands. The Clause was discussed at some length, chiefly by Irish members, upon a motion by Mr. Clancy to reject it. Mr. Clancy’s motion was finally negatived by 198 to 185— being the smallest Ministerial majority the Government have obtained in any important division on the Budget Bill. There was rather less cross-voting than in the division on the Beer Duty, Two Liberals— Mr. Evershed and Captain Fenwick— voted with the Opposition ; while Mr. Courtney supported the Government. Two Unionists— Mr. Cameron Corbett and Mr. J. A . Bright— abstained. All the Parnellites were present, and voted with the Opposition, but several of the Anti-Parnellites were absent unpaired. Dr. MacGregor was also absent. The Clause was reported to the House, and the Report stage of the Bill was fixed for Monday.

The Government on Tuesday sustained scotch^parish a sevei;e defeat on the Scotch Standing councils bill. Committee. Mr. Seymour Keay proposed an amendment giving the Parish Councils power to acquire land for building workmen’s dwellings. The proposal was opposed by Sir George Trevelyan, on the ground that it would overload the Bill, and if carried would almost destroy the chance o f passing the measure this session. On a division, the amendment was carried by 27 to 15, all the unofficial Liberals and one Unionist voting for it. After the division, Sir Charles Pearson asked the Secretary for Scotland what course he intended to take, and, notwithstanding his previous declaration, Sir George
