179 { Birds on the Wing. ) to be compensated for the
loss they had sustained by the Disendowment of the Esta-
blished Church, many of them were believed to have “ com-
pounded ” on very advantageous terms, and then to have
exchanged Ireland for England as a more desirable resi-
dence.

179 Why the Prince went to France.—The Prince or Wales

had gone to France to visit the late French Ambassador in

“ who had publicly avowed himself in favour of Republican
institutions, with certain reservations as to the rights of the
Royal Family.” Mr. Chamberlain was also the author
of a recent article in the Fortnightly Review entitled “ The
next page of the Liberal Programme.” Notwithstanding his
opinions, Mr. Chamberlain’s speeches in proposing the
Health of the Queen, and of the Prince and Princess, were

characterised as “ couched m a tone of courteous homage,
manly independence, and gentlemanly feeling.”

Epping Forest for Ever !—The Corporation of London 213

A Night with Lawson.—Sir Wilfrid Lawson, M.P. 218

Food—for Reflection.—In his speech at the Guildhall 230
on Lord Mayor’s Day, Mr. Disraeli used some expressions
on the subject of arbitrary arrests, which were taken to refer

unwarranted.”
