LONDON, July 24.-The government
has slightly improved its position during
the week. 1t carried the Irish eviction
bill through the committee, thanks to Mr.
Fosters patience and talent for eoncilia-
| ton but after several changes of front,sa
isfying completely neither the whig land
lords nor the Irish extremists. 1t will
have undoubtedly large majority on
the third reading OF the bill next week.
| The prospects of the bill in the house of
lords are uncertain. The wings are still
debating whether to follow Lord Landes-
downe's example or Lord Hartineton's
advice. The tories hesitate to assume the
| sole responsibility OF defeating the meas

Cairn returns expressly to attack the bill.
