The Royal Mail steamship America, Capt.

COERCION ron 1RELANp.-In the House of
Commons, 2lst Lord John Russell stated the fur
Their stringent measures which the Government
intend taking for preserving order in Ireland
The noble Lord said, amid the cheering of the
House, II rise TO give notice that | propose, at
| ~ o'clock tomorrow, to ask for leave to bring in
a"b 10 empower the Lord. Lieutenant, or other
governors OF Ireland 10 apprehend and detaIn,
until the LIST day of March, 1919, such persons
as he or they shall suspect Of reasonable designs
against Her Majestv's crown and government"
This is, no doubt, the last resource, and there are
few of the well-disposed, either on this side or
the ether side of the Irish channel, who will
quarrel with the severity OF the expedient. IL
amounts to a suspension Of the babeas corpus act,
so tar as Ireland is concerned, and will have the
effect either OF preciptoting or permanently pre-
venting an outbreak. 1t is desirable, on every
consideration, If there be any earnestness in the
agitation, that the young Irelanders be taught
their own weakness; and an immediate catas-
trophe, the consequence of which would be 10
crush their cause, is PROFESSIONALLY preferable
ID the chronic threatening, whereby the empire
has been kept in constant state Of alarm and APP
prehension for the last three months.
The Freeand Journal Of 2lst makes some a.
farming statements in reference to the potatoc
crop IN Ireland. 1t says deny it, who will, and
suffer by 1t, as every man, from the Peer to the
Peasant, must, The potatoe blight does exist and
is on the increase, to an alarming degree in sew
eral districts, whilst in great many places it
has made its appearance to such degree as
would cause alarm. In some places where it ap-
peared light in character, during the late dry
weather the crop assumed more healthy APP

more severely attacked by the influence of tho
late rains, anxious doubts are entertained. 1t is
fortunate that in all parts Of the country, more or
less had been pl anted at very early period of
the wear; and where such planting had been cf-
fected 10 dry soils and IN good situations, the
crops are now so fowar d in maturity as 10 adm it
Of the stalks being cut down pulled atogeth
err, without any material dctriment 10 the crop,
whether as to quantity or quality of the produce.
From every quarter, it appears that the Irish
are preparing for an outbreak. There has been
brush at Carrck- n-Sun, at Clonn,e cor

rick people, on hearing OF the arrest Of some of
the club men, and the rumor that one of their
own curatcs marked out for arrest, rose e.,
masse, and with arms in their hands, consisting
of rifles and pixies repaired to tho authorities, and
demanded the release OF ths prisoners who we're

the neighborlng bills, armed to the te ath who
remained in Carrck all night, iest an attempt
should be made to arrest Father Byrne. The
delivery Of the prisoners and the withdrawal of
the few troops, we're considered triumph.
There is no installing the national feeling
roclamations have been issued by the Govern

element which prevails in Finland, and the ap-
prehension of an emeute in that country, has OPP
Grated very unlayorably in all branches of trade
i and commerce, during the past week. The pro-
c duce markets have therefore been less active,
and holders OF most descriptions OF goods being
r willing sellers, prices have gwen way slightly.
# Cotton has been solo to fair extent, but prices
are not higher. The state Of the weather, dur
ing the las; few days, has been rather uufavora-
BILE, consequently bread stuiis are not only frmer
but prices have an advancing tendency. Trade
in the manufacturing districts is not so buoyant,
but present. Gullness is not expected TO be OF
long continuance. Manufactured goods are not
" sold at cheaper rates. The funds have suffered
i from the uneasy feeling which prevails n Ire
n land. The iron trade is quiet, and little BUSH

The Journal des Debats cautions the Govern

been pursued during the last five months, tn,
