Mr. Balfour has this week won a match at tennis

against Mr. Morton, which is described in highly technical, and to outsiders very obscure language, by the reporters. It is a new thing for the First Lord of the Treasury and the Leader of the House of Commons to regale himself during a severe Parliamentary campaign in matches of this kind, and we trust that this victory may be an omen of his political triumph. We observe that in one of the games, Mr. Balfour, "after several good strokes off the tambour, caused deuce to be called ;" and we should not wonder if he succeeds in making some of his political opponents indulge in the same fruitless invocation.
