[Mr. CHAMBERLAIN said that Sir E. ASHMEAD-BARTLETT "appeared
to be intellectually incapable of distinguishing between
charges and proof."]
What, only just found out _that_ fact?
As soon expect sense from Dame _Partlet_
As reason, in speech or in act,
From rash, indiscriminate BARTLETT.
In foreign affairs he's a ferret,
But sense from his "charge" holds aloof;
For all know that SILOMIO'S spirit,
Is many degrees above "proof"!

We hear that the salmon-fishing season on the Dee has been a
satisfactory one. Some especially good sport was obtained in a pool
"near Overton Bridge where the fish collected, when unable, owing to
the lowness of the water, to get over the weir." Notwithstanding an
equal inability of Members "to get over the Weir," there was not much
sport during the recent Session "near Westminster Bridge."
