New Zealand dates to the 1lth inst, and
from Sydney to the 9th. We compile tel
egraphic news:
LONDON, Oct. 4th.--The land agitation
in ireland continues undated. Numerous
meetings, attended with more or less OK.
citement, were held yesterday in various
parts of the country. Mr.. Parnell was
present at large meetings held at Kilkenny
and Cork, where he delivered violent
speeches inveighing against the Govern
ment, and calling in strong terms for inn
mediate changes of the land laws. No SER
ious disturbances took place.
BERLIN, October 4th.--In consequence
of the resistance offered by the towns of
Hamburg and Altoona to the new German
tariff, by means of which the inhabitants
will lose privileges soleng enjoyed by these
free ports, the Government threatens to
take measures to enforce compliance and
if necessary, to lay seige to both Hamburg
and Altoona.
LONDON, October 5th.-Most of the
morning papers to-day devote leading arti-
cles to proposals of the Porte for the set
tlement of the difficulty between Albania
and Montenegro, and other matters arising
out of the decisions of the Berlin Confer.
ence. The more important points of the
scheme laid down by the Porte have already
been telegraphed, and the Press is almost
unanimous in regarding the same as an i'll
suit to Europe
LONDON, October 8th.-The Daily News
of to-day hints at the possibility Of the. Sui
tan being deposed
LONDON, October 8th.-Intelligenc has
been received from Tehernn that the Kurds
inhabiting n district of Kurdistan, on the
western border of Persia, have risen in
large numbers against the local authorities,
and are attacking and pillaging the towns
and villages in the district.
LONDON, October 9th.-The counties of
Galway and Mayo, Ireland, have been pro-
claimed disturbed districts.
CoNsrANTlNopLE, October 9th.-It is said
there is plot foot against the Sultan,
and in consequence several arrests have
been made. 1t is, however, understo cd
that the Sultan prefers abdication to yield
ing.

the officials.
The Great Powers have determined to
adapt form of coercion with regard to
Turkey which is most likely to prevent an
armed collision. The ports in the Kgean
Sea are to be blockaded, and the country
in this way be put in coventry The de-

the dignity of Europe, which appeared
likely to be compromised by failure. The
procedure is a mild one; but may prove
effective, although there is something ridi-
culous about the whole power of Europe
being reduced by the sick man to the
adoption of this half.and- half measure 1t
affords another proof that the accord of
Europe does not go so far ns recourse to
active hostilities, and that if fighting is to
be done, Montenegro aud Greece must take
it in hand themselves. A blockade with
out declaration of war is novelty, and
may be expected to give rise to difficulties,
should any nation not party to it refuse
to recognise it. 1t must be deemed doubt
: ful whether an operation of this kind is
likely to influence Turkey, who has always
required more drastic measures. The
London Daily News refers to the probable
deposition of the Sultan, but this is most
