10y CABLE TO THE rnIBUNTl
LONDON. saturday. Dec. 4. 1850.
The determination to summon Parliament 10
meet on TIE 9th OF January WAS virtually CaoineU
compromise The advocates OF coercive Legislation
abandoned Mr. Forster's proposal for December
session on condition that Maintenance o1 order
bill be introduced simultaneously with remedIai
Land bill the Order bill tob abandoned II unneces-
sarv The nrcsent Irish outlook points to the prob
ability that the Order bill may actually precede the
land measure. Anarchy and terrorism are on 'he
increase while the land scheme siowly laeS as It's
difficulties develop The Bessborough Commission
will present report before 1t completes the TAXING
of evidence II expected that it viii favor hA'S
of tenure and fair rents. The Richmond Ooil'nis-
sion will present batch of evidence bnt IL Is
aoubtful fit will prepare report should 1t do So
the Tory members will take care not to promote
MIR Gladstone's interests The Premier Is iearlul
lest the Richmond Commission should present re-
mort fer the production of the Government Lana
bill and thereby jeopardize the measure. 1t Is
unknown what Mr. GadstOnes bill will propose 1t
is not yet drafted.
WHAT THE LAND BILL MAY PROPOSE.
Its expected that il VII be very drastic, and VIII
include a great scheme for the reclamation of waste
land insure fxity of tenure on a wider basis than
tbe Ulster custom, aid give tenants liberty
10 realize the value of Improvements. 1t NAV pro-
yiao onachinery for fixing far rents and VIII probably
include a scheme to encourage the ownership OF
land by peasants. Individual members OF the
CABINET pout out these the bases OF the measure
Whether they are correct in details or not, their
views encourage the general anticipation that the
rIoDse of Lords will not pass their proposals. The
lords of course will pass the Maintenance OF Order
bill but the Radicals i'll the House would oppose IT,
and this might result ia Mr.. Gladstone having 10
cootepd with an alliance of the IRISH and the Rad
ica members, with the consequent evils OF ooStruc
tion. The Order bill may pass the House OF Com
mons bnt nobody is hopeful about the Irish land
measure. ..,. ,n,o>,s
The authorizations OF tie Government are ind-
Gated by the fact that 1t IS preparing de'ais 1or
,,u IN reform the county franchise and
this measure in prospect, and the threat hang
ing over them of appeal TO the country on pat
form which would include a cry against tie House
ofLords the upper chamber may be Induced to
whittle the Government oil rather than to reject
il altogether. The leaders OF the Land League are
endeayoring to prevent bloodshed and TO limit the
ierr,rism TO threatenins Boycottng," and the re-
10 Or
only fear that actual blOodshel would bring about
immediate coercion. but that 1t would also check
The ha-concealcd desire of the Government TO drop
the State prosecutions. The suggestion Is actually
made by one prominent member OF the League that
if the prosecutions dropped every eho Will DE

GENERAL BUTLER NOT ELIGIBLE.
The wild proposal of General Butler TO defend
Parnell is beneath contempt No foreigner IS al
lowed to plead in Iyeland therefore she is spared
another curse.
