LONDON, February 14.-Shaw Lefeure
Niberar, member OF the House OF Com
mons for Reading, will in committee move
as an amendment to the Government bill
for the relief of the distress in Ireland to
leave out the restriction OF two months as
the term for which outdoor relief may be
given. He will also move TO insert in the
bill new clause TO give tenants elected
during the present year for non-payment OF
rent the right to claim compensation for the
disturbance OF tenure under The provisions
OF Glad,tone's land act OF 1870.
Yesterday Hon. Henry Lowry Cora,
James Shame, and John MulhOland, Con.
seryative members Of Parliament from Ire
land, waited on the Chancellor of the Elk.
cbequer in relation TO the subject OF loans
from the Treasury to public undertakings
in Ireland. The Chancellor promised to
appoint a select committee to inquire into
the subject.
At the election yesterday in the burrough
Of Southwark for member OF Parliament
the vote resulted: Edward ID. Clark (Con-
servatiye). 1868; l.. Dunn Uiberal), $3.50 !;
George Shipton (Workingmen's repre-
sentative). 100. Clark was elected.
The result Is Il Conservative gain, as
Southwark is Liberal burrougb. The
chances Of the Liberal cand date were I'M
paired, as was anticipated, by the cand-
dacy OF Shipton, the Workingmen's candi-
date.

BARONESS BURDETT cOUrTs's DONATION OF
HALF A MILLION POUNDS.
LIVERPOOL, February 1.-THE London
correspondent OF the Liverpool Courier
saws "The assurance is given me to-day
that the statement OF the intention OF the
Baroness Burdett Coutts to devote 100000
to the amelioration OF the distress in Ire
land is true. Contradictions Of This state
ment have been made in some of the Lon
don daily papers, but the fact is neyerthe-
less incontroyertible. The money will not
be given in aims, but will be invested in
the purchase OF lands in the districts OF
COnnemara or Galway, TO be afterwards let
to small tenants at long leases and moderate
rents. A committee Of Irish gentlemen in
terested in agriculture are assisting in the
scheme"
