years will still be the means OF further and greater

ding supply Of oats to-day, and buying very slack
at reduced prices, caused by the announcement OF
Sir Robert Peels commercial policy.

APrREHENpED Corn RIoTs IN GALwAY-The gov

the military force in Galway. The following ap-
pears in the Gai,cay Iindicator Of yesterday
"a troop of the 18th Light Dragons from Gort,
arrived here on Tuesday, under the command OF
Captain Hamilton, tor the purpose, 1t IS said, OF re-
pressing any outbreak among the people which may
arise, owing to the expectation OF corn from this
port. Two companies OF the s0th are likewise ex-
pected-one from Loughrea, the other from Quite
rard-to aid the force in garrison, if necessary
This increase Of troops is said to have been caused
BY the posting Of threatening notice at the gas
house last week, to the effect, that the merchant
stores would be broken up by the people, any tur.

The above appears in the Limerick Chronicle.

that never had any line Of policy been more sterile

that he did not intend to speak, and the paragraph
was adopted. M. Ayhes had given notice OF an
amendment to censure the ministry, but ne with

Government to put an end to the treaties OF 1881

Of its organs that the new convention was all that
was required to vindcate the honor OF France, the
opposition in the French Chambers has all OF sud-
den discovered that by the new convention France
it is IN worse position than before, and that the
treaties OF 1881 and 1888 were infinitely to be pre-
ferred to that of lS45 II is not difficult to explain
these changes Of opinion. The clamor originally
raised against the night OF search, came entirely
from the party (unhappily a considerable one In
France) which still supports slavery and the slave
trade, and endeavors to defend the practice of this
blot upon humanity. Finding that the right of search
initiated against Its INTERESTS and IN the nope tnat
any change in the system would turn to its advan-
tage, that party got up cry against this the only ef-
fectual means OF putting down the slave trade ever
devised, and it was, unfortunately, able to do so
without difficulty, by enstng the national honor in
its cause. The result has, however, not answered
the expectations OF the slavery party The conven-
ton OF 185 by merely substituting the plan OF ver-
flying the flag, for that Of searching the vessel has
not entirely destroyed the means OF detecting
the trade in slaves, though il has impaired It The
shareholders and advocates of slavery are dlsap-
pointed in their expectations, and they are now
getting up a new crusade against the convention 70
Of 1915, on the plea that it does not fulfil the
wishes Of the Chamber, which was that the
national flag Of France should be again placed
