FOUR DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND.

FOUR DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND.
The ship rainbow, from Liverpool 9Th ult., arrived
at New York on Tuesday. Her news adds to the ex-
element in the grain Market for the scarcity contin-
ues to be felt in almost every part of Europe, and
prices were tending upward. 1t is cheering to learn
however that the weather had been favorable for
the growing crops. The pressure in the money cir
cles continued without abatement We copy from the
Tribune:
In the House of Lords, on the evening of Nav 9Th
Lord Monteagle moved to limit the duration Of the
clauses in the Irish poor relief BILL giving out door as
sstance to abe-bodied poor, when without work. to
August 1913. 'We did hope" says the Times Of
the 9TH shat with thousands day of dying of famine
and pestilence-with 10000 poor wretches crowded
into steamers and thrust upon Liverpool alone-wth
many other thousands flying every week to other parts
of England and the metropolis itself filed with Irish
refugees-with the whole manufacturing and mercan-
tile interest of England pressed to the point of bank
ruotcy by having to advance this one year, ten mil
lions [50000000l to do the duty of Irish proprctors-
we did hope that shame, if not humanity would at
last touch the Irish landlord ard reconcile him to
la moderate insallment of the English poor law
But no."
The Irish ncumbered Estates bill had been read
third time in the House of Lords. This will enable
holders of morgaged property to sell part of their es
tates to pay off encumbrances. This will raise up an
independent middle class of Irish and-owners-men
cultivating their own grounds.
Deaths by famine in Ireland are happily becoming
rare but fever, in Kerry, Galway. Roscommon and
Longford, is thinning the population. In Enniskil-
len, Lurgan, and Belfast fever is making fearful raw
ages
His Majesty the King of Saxony has an agent in
England at present. en0eavoring to repurchase some
of the large quantity of Rye which has been import
ed from that country. He was at London at the be-
ginning of the present week, at Manchester on Wed
nesday and will probably be at Limerick to-day (Sat-
urday His eXerons to purchase food for his starving
counrymen have not been successful.
The news from the continent is without interest,"
We take couple of items:
Advices from Portugal to the Doth of April, state
that the Queen had changed her ministry, and it is
said had decided upon making concessions to the peo-
pie. Subsequent accounts state that the Queen of
Portugal has accepted the terms offered by the En-
gsh government, and thus end will be put to the
civil war.
Accounts from Constantinope state that Bederhan
Bey is still pursuing his sanguinary course, impaling
the Nestorians-men, women, and children A great
number of the Turkish troops have revoled and gone
over to him. Fresh troops have been sent to attack
him.
FoREIGv NEws.-The Hibernia arrived at Boston
on the 9th instant.
Parliament continued in session. In the House of
Lords, on the night of the 18th, the bill to limit the
hours of labor in the factories after long debate in
which the measure was opposed by Lords Brougham
and Ashburton passed by nominal majority of A.
ony III of the Peers voting against it.
The Irish poor raofbill was to be made permanent
not temporary 1t is said that one of the first and
most indispensable steps to the real and solid improve
ment of Ireland is, that of making the property of the
country responsible TOR its pauperism.
The commercial accounts by the Hiberna are of
considerable Importance. The corn market had i'm
proved to the extent of about shngs upon barrel
of flour since the sailing of the Cambria, and other ar
tices of food had risen in the eXobitant proper
ton. The Cambria which arrived out on the evening
of the 49, had accounts of scarcity upon this side of
the water, which assisted the rise in the market.
From Ireland the accounts are still distressing, not
the partial relief to some sections In
the Cork workAouse the deaths the past week were
95, an increase of - over the previous week. 1t is
estimated that Ireland has been depopuated at least
one million souls by death and emigration!
