The excitement throughout the whole
OF Ireland, caused by the recent arrests
continues tn increase, but leading mem
bers OF the Home Rule party, aided by the
clergy, are using every endeavor 10 re.
strain the people from acts OF violence OF
iniraCtions Of the law. Mr.. Parnell has
published brief appeal to the people,
earnestly advising them to maintain q
dignifed and peaceful attitude, aud as.
surfing them that as the right is clearly on
their side, and as the Government has put
itself in the wrongin making these arrests,
the good sense Of the English people will
rebuke this exercise OF arbitrary power,
and insist on change in the Admfnistra.

LONDON. November PA dispatch
from Dublin says: The government has
determined to abandon all preliminary
difficulties which might obstruct the OBJ
tanning Of loans from the Board OF Public
Works for improvement OF estates, and in
order to expedite the expenditure OF
money strictly for the employment OF
unskilled labor, they will Immediately
give loans TO landowners and sanitary
boards. They will add to the principal
cost of preliminary proceeding and inter-
est on the sum borrowed, allowing two
years grace. Repayment, therefore, will
begin at the beginning of the third year.
This concession will only take effect in
districts which the government will de.
clare TO come under the designation OF
distressed districts"
The meeting at Balla to-day has lost
much oil its importance In consequence OF
the announcement by Parnell last night
that expected eviCtions at Balla, with re.
spect to which inaammatory placards have
been circulated, calling on the people OF
the assembly to reinstate tenants, will not
be made, the rent having been paid; but
there will, however, be meeting.
LATER.-The great meeting was held
to-day at Lonamoore, two miles from Balla,
Ireland. The chair was occupied by John
LOuden, President OF the National Land
League of Mayo, Charles S. Parnell and
Edmund Dwyer Gray, and several other
prominent gentlemen were present. Res.
olutions were passed protesting against
the recent attempt OF the Government to
Stife the voice OF constitutional sgitation,
and 10 drive the people into acts OF VIC.
lence; also calling upon the people OF
Ireland to maintain the attitude Of self.
control which has hitherto characterized
the movement, and to carefully abstain
from giving the Government any excuse
for inaugurating a policy Of coercion,
which the meeting feels convinced they
have in contemplation.
Later advices from Balla indicate that
extraordinary precautions had been taken
by the Government. More than hun
dred policemen were statioued near the
place ot meeting, and some cavalry were
in vicinity ready for immediate action,
Parnell spoke. In addition to the resolu-
tlon already mentioned, one was passed
expressing great satisfaction that intended
evictions had been abandoned, and an
other, urging the people to continue the
agitation. Great excitement prevails in
the Balla districtand in adjoining counties.
A number Of special correspondents Of the
London press attended the demonstration.
The meeting at Lonamoore terminated
At . o'clock this evening. Hundreds Of
hose then in attendance then marched in
to the farm OF Depsey, the ten
ant who was TO have been evicted. Much
excitement was manifested there. A dem
onstra'ion will be made Sunday in Dublin
10 commemorate the Manchester execu.
ton.
London correspondents say that discus.
sions now principally turn on the point
the words used by Michael Dav.
1T and others were within the sedition
laws, and whether the Government will
be able to obtain their conviction. There
is much doubt OF this even among emf.
nent lawyers. On the other hand there
is no question Of general desire for some
OF the authority OF law. It Is
not believed there can be any section OF
the British people, nor any considerable
number Of Irish, who do not wish to see
the end OF the agitation for non-payment
OF rent. That being ended, II is thought
there would be an increased disposition to
have regard TO the more acceptable claims
Of Irish politicians.
Three additional regiments are reported
under orders to proceed TO Ireland. The
Army and Macy Gazette says no actual or
ders have been issued warning regiments
to he ready to go to Ireland.
James Daley, editor OF the ConnauHht
Telegraph, one OF the men now in Sligo
Jail, evidently means TO do the best he
can to make capital for his paper. He is
very faslidious in regard to his treatment

the official great deal OF trouble. He de.
mands frequent communications with the
editor Of his paper, and insists that his
messages shall not undergo supervision
by the jail authorities.
