A Gloomy Christmas in IreIand-Depres
sion of Trade-John Bright's Reply to
the Earl of Carnarvon-FeeIfng at
Rome.
LONDON, Dec pa dispatch from Dublin
to the Times says It is generally said that
SO dull and sad Christmas has never been
experienced here. Sullen depression marks
the spirit of the people, and traders, who
have for some time been feeling very acutely
the effects of the disturbed state of the coun
try, are beginning to exhibit signs of great
embarrassment. But the agitation which is
paralyzing trade, putting capital to fight and
poisoning commercial life, still extends its
deadly influence, while the sufferers look on
its progress in helpless dismay. The
efforts of the Land League are now
chiefly directed toward the North of
Ireland where it is persistently trying
to overcome the repugnanee to its practices.
There can be little doubt that it has succeed
ed considerably, when mostly all the dis
tricts are honeycombed with its organiza-
ton. The exertions of the agitators are also
directed toward Comfy Dublin and the Dor
ders of Dublin itself. Malahide, near Dub
lin, was the scene of q second demonstration
4
on Sunday, but there was no reason to boast
of its success.
John Bright, Chancellor of the Duchy of
Lancaster, replies to the Earl of Carnarvon's
letter, in which he protests against Mr..
Bright's speech at Birmingham last month,
as follows:
You comment on my speech of the 10th of
Nov. and find in it terrible blemishes not dis
covered by other critics. You condemn me
| for attacks on the sovereign, the aristocracy
! and the landowners / have defended the
| monarchy, although defense is little need
| ed in this country and IN this reign. have
warned the aristocracy of the danger I
wished them to shun. As to the landowners,
I have been one of the most prominent sup
porters of q policy so necessary for the
| country and so wise for them that had It
been obstinataly resisted, the great landown-
ers of England and Scotland would long ago
have been running for their lives. as some of

Reading Railroad Interests.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 27.-The general i'm
preston regarding Reading railroad affairs is
that, Notwithstanding the fact of the order of
the heavy English shareholders to cast their
votes against the present management, Mr..
Gowen will remain in England to carry his
campaign vigorously forward. It was stated
at the Office of the company to-day that dis
patches had been received from President
Gowen to-day, but that they made no refer
ence to his return home In other quarters
it was observed that the absent official would
make a last desperate attempt to change the
sentiments of the McCallmonts, and finding
his efforts abortive return to this city, call a
meeting of the stockholders, endeayor to
have resolutions similar to those passed in
London adopted and thus create a current of
opinion in his favor which would return him
to the head of the company. The statement
is made in some quarters that the holders of
English proxies have had almost daily con-
ferences with the American opposition and
have finally selected all the candidates for
officers and managers to be voted for at the
next election. Among the names discussed
in this connection have been those of Francis
Bond, vice president of the Texas Pacific
Railroad company, A. j. Cassatt of the Penn
sylvania Railroad company, Mr.. Tucker and
Charles E. Smith and J. w. Jones, formerly
Readings president and vice president re-

A dispatch from Rome to the Times says:
The publication of a note in the Osse7oG-
tore Romano in which the Pope deplores the
serious character of the agitation in Ireland
is the one topic of conversation among the
British Catholics here. They are divided
into two groups-the active Bympathizers
with the Land League, and those who
feel how serious may be the consequences
to Roman Catholicism in Great Britain
should the Pope be supposed to favor the
movement in Ireland The latter are greatly
IN the majority. The Irish colleges, which
have constant access to the Vatican and have
influence with the clerical press, spare no
effort to convince the Pope that the agitation
is legitimate and that the condition of Ire
land is grossly exaggerated by the London
prees.
