among other things, we understand,
that he`liad one objection to the receipt

the countr ► hitherto without reward, ,
and. would prefer to continue to do so•,
that the acceptance of office- might
possibly place him tin an uncomforfable
and restrained positioh, and that he be
lieved he could render more efficient
aid to Mr. Gladstone's Government as
an independent supporter than as a
member of the Cabinet. To these ob-
jections -Mr. Gladstene replied by a
masterly review of Mai Bright's career,
and pointed out that many of the prin-
ciples which he had espoused had &,me
to be recognized as . the true an legiti-
timate policy of ;government. The op-
portunity, Mr, Gladstone further con-'
'tended, was- now afforded Mr. Bright
to give effect to his,eiews as a mem-
of
em of the Government, and with the=force
of his eloquence, the Premier urged
that it was the duty of Mr. Bright riot
to shrink from a responsibility which
they acceptanee of office would cast- upon
him. The discussion lasted from 8 0' -
clock in the evening until 2 o'clock in
the morning, and at last Mr: Bright
yielded—chiefly influenced, no doubt,
by the strength of thearguments ad-
vanced by Mr. Gladstone, but also
swayed, it may be imagined, by that
powerful personal charm which the
nes Premier •exercises over all with

The public have been informed by

last he consented only -in consequence of
the 'great pressure : brought to -bear' up-

the character of tis "pressure" and
the mode of its .application have come
to our knowledge,. QwliiclY the . public
will be interested to learn.. When Mr.
Gladstone received ht r Majesty's corn -
rands to form a Misery conveyed,
we may say, in the most gracious terms
and the most cordial manner—one of
those with whom the right honorable
gentleman first' communicated_ was Mr.
Bright, requesting that he would take
office in the new_ Gov ernment. Mr.
Bright,' who.was not in. London at- the
time, returned an , ansever in which he
acknowledged the comliment paid- him
by` Mr.; Gladstone, but positively declin-
ed to .become a member of the new
Ministry. -It was subsequently arrang-

As the discussion proceeded, it gradual

mined the character of a formal debate,
in. which. the, two greatest orators of the
:day were ' the friendly disputants.
Warning with the subject, each strove
to give force to his views by bringing
into play all those charms of diction, of

both are abundantly gifted ,-0 and we
