Sir Gillery Pigott Puisne, Baron Of the
Court Of Exchequer, died to-day.
Alta reception given to CheValieF, the

remarks on free trade, in the course Of
which he said II was ludicrous for the
United States to invite foreign manufac-

protective tariff prevented them from
competing in the American markets.
A HeTGLd cable special says; An arrange
ment has been made between the leaders
Of the Liberal party in Belgium and the
Prince Bismarck. The latter, by appli-

to bring about the downfall Of the Cler-

Ing to power, are to make laws to sup
press the publication Of views uniavora-

The Liberals would introduce compulsory
military service aud establish new fortid-

on the overthrow Of clerical government.
