DUBLIN, November 15.-The COMMITTEES
OF the Irish National Convention resolved
that the plan oil the late Daniel 0'Connel
for tho reconstruction OF the Irish Houst
Of Commons be made basis of that 10,
the Convention; that the delegates shal
number three hundred, and that the Con

1882.
The announcement OF the intention ID
expend considerable sum OF money In
public works in order to relieve existing
distress in certain portions OF ireland,
meets with general approval. Representa-.
ttons have been made respecting the ad.
visibility OF Immediately undertaking ex.
tensive public works. 1thas been pointed
out that great extent OF waste land, now
altogether unproductive, might be reclaim.

the general health Of the populace would

also been presented for the construction
Of an improved harbor, extensions Of
branch railway piers and wharves at
towns on the coast and along the princi.

been set forth that 1t will be far cheaper

similar tone made to his Excellency, that
the Lord Lieutenant has an nnounced his in.

meetings have been held through.

a continuation OF the anti.rent agitation,
and impressing the Government with the
fact that energetic measures will be neces.
sary to prevent widespread distress among
not only the working classes OF the towns,
but among the peasantry in rural dis
tricts: There is already evidence to show
that distress in very many districts Is ag-

LONDON, November 15.-The Govern

Cabinet dlssensions. Common report in

The Economist says: The rate of busi-
ness on tho Stock Exchange Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday was buoyant,
but since then it has been irregular, with
a downward tendency. Friday afternoon
there was universal depression, COM
mencing in Paris and Berlin, in con-
sequence OF fears ofthe Anglo-Turkish diff
hculty, and the speculative stocks suffered,
including home, American and Canadian
railways. The result, however, Of the
weeks variation Is mostly in favor Of the
holders OF railway securities, while United
States railways have been 80 extraordinary

recorded in almost all American in.
yestments. The weeks changes in
European Government securities are GEN
orally advonced. Russian, Turkish, French,
Italian and Egyptian are all lower. Chill.
ian responded favorably to the news OF the
capture OF Pisagua, and, rather strangely,
Peruvians are also higher. United States
Governments have been in strong request
for America, where in the face OF the Gov
ernment buying has increased the de-
mand for funded issues. This week will
be memorable in the American railroad
department. Erie preferred stock has
risen 12, and ordinary 9, Central Railroad
