LONDON, December 17.-The Times says:
The situation in Ireland is one of deepen
ing gloom. The officers OF the Govern
ment look on, while lawlessness is I'M
checked. But this cannot continue. The
will of the rebels against society must be
broken by society. If the Government
does not step forward to resume its juno
tions, we shall see the calamity of a spon-
taneous struggle between those who set up
their will as law, and those who resist
coercion. 1t must be plain to the Gov
eminent that the evil has grown to its pres
ent dimensions, because it has been slow
to understand and execute its duty. The
followers of the Government are en-
barrassed, and for the most part do not
know what to say, while a few are bold
enough to express their regret at the line
their leaders nave pursued. Whitbread,
one OF the most respected Liberals in the
House of Commons, speaking at Bedford
last night, described wildly the reign Of
terror that had left no honest calling safe
in a large part Of Ireland, and avowed his
feeling that "the sad time had come when
the Government might be compelled to
use coercion" There have been liberal
governments before the present embar-
raised by Irish difficulties, but they have
not been slack to do what they could to
assert the authority of the law.
An Antf-League Meeting.
DUBLIN, December ia great anti
League meeting was held yesterday at
Monaghan, Lord Rosemore presiding. Res
o~lutions we're passed declaring an equit-
able settlement of the land question alb
solutely necessary; a settlement giving the
landlords fair rents and the tenants pro-
lection from back rents and capricious
eviction.
Demand For Employment.
Cork, December 17.-There is great
want throughout the country, owing to
the dissemination of the landlords to lay
out money. At several meetings recently
held, landlords were summoned to give
employment to laborers. The agentof the
Earl of Cork was requested to provide
labor on the Earl's estate, near Charles
vile, County Cork, and he has just in
timated that he will open works ii that
locality and give employment until March,
1881.
A Dublin View of the Situation.
DUBLIN, December 1.-THE action Of
the Cabinet in regard to the Irish question
is awaited with intense anxiety by the loyal
class. but with affected indifference by the
Land Leaguers and their sympathizers.
The most strenuous and desperate opposi-
ton may be expected to coercion. All that
physical endurance can do to prevent the
suspension Of the habeas corpus act may
be anticipated.
Canadians i'm Council.
OTTAWA, Ont, December 17.-At an OPP
position caucus held to-day it is said the
manifesto of the people of Canada in con-
nection with the Canada Pacific Railroad,
was under consideration. 1t is expected to
appear in press throughout the country to-
morrow. An immense quantity will be
printed and copies mailed at once to every
accessible elector in the Dominion. The
document, it is said, will explain the
nature Of the proposition which the gov
eminent has brought down, describes the
manner in which it refuses information
necessary to an intelligent discussion OF
the contracts, and strongly condemns the
extravagant price to be paid. 1t demands
the immediate withdrawal Of the PROPOSE
tons.
