THE LAND BILL.

At the meeting of Irish members it was resolved
" that Government must be asked to- define more
thoroughly the tenant-right clauses of the Land
Bill." It was also agreed that Mr. Johnston's
amendment on the first clause, that tenants of hold-
ings subject to the Ulster custom shall be entitled,
on foregoing their right, to claim compensation
under the other provisions, fulfilled all the re-
quirements of the position, and consequently the
Liberal Irish members will support that definition.

The next elections at the Reform Club are antici-
pated with much interest. The blac:balling party, it is
said, aro preparing to make a great demonstration against
one of the candidates, and a keen contest is likely to ensue.
Three candidates are already mentioned for the
seat vacant at Newark, by Mr. Denison's death—namely, Mr.
Philip Handle, Mr. H. P. Bristowe, Q.O , and Mr. Moffatt.

The nomination at Bris'ol is fixed for Saturday
next. The poll (if necessary) will be token on Monday.

It is reported that objection will be taken to the

kenny.

cil on Saturday next, at the Premier's official residence in
