The Agitation In Ireland.

FOREIGN NEWS.
! The Agitation In Ireland.
| NEw YoBE, August 2lst-A Lord IN special
says: The chief subjects of public interest
foc the week have been provided by Ireland.
| Religious riots, agrarian outrages, collisions
between Catholics and Protestsnts, and the
Fenian movement, constitute the chief items.
| Fenianism and agrarianism, these two sources
| of mischief ~hich were steadily disappearing,
are now no longer in conflict. At one time
the land egitators and the Fenians were at
variance: but it is now tacitly admitted that
there is room for both. Irishmen continue to
drill in the early morning. The seizure Of
arms on the ship Juno, and the recent discoy-
cry of gunpowder in railway tunnel in
Cork, disturbed the public mind. Touching
the last incident, may mention what is not
published elsewhere, that mere than two bar
rels of gunpowder were found. The exact
number is not stated, but hear from rail-
way official that there were eight or ten. The
land agitation has assumed a more demon
ssrative character. The rejection of the COM
pensation bill seemed to produce little effect,
but the Land League stirred the country by
ordering great meetings, the last of which
will be held to- morrow. Mr.. Forster added
fuel TO the fire by the foolish use of the word
" cowsrdice. applied to Mr.. Dillon, NJ. p,
which already recoils upon himself. Mr.. Dill
lon is taking a leading part in the land agita-
ton. Singularly enough. Mr.. Parnell is in
Ireland marvelously quiet, and only engaged
in recruiting his health, in order to partici.
pate in the debates on the Irish estimates.
The most interesting circumstance con-
nected with Irish matters was the departure
of MIR. Forster for Dublin. The Govern
ment attempted to minimize the Importance
of the visit, but Mr.. Forster left here sud
denly, as soon as Dublin kilograms an
nounced the discovery of the gunpowder at
Cork The chief subject upon which he will
inform his colleagues is the expediency of
reimposing the Coercion Acts. The Govern
ment is averse to such proposal. Mr.. Forster
is not the man to recommend such measures
for slight cause. There is undoubtedly a
strong impression that after Parliament rises
and when the rich harvest in Ireland has
been gathered, the landlords will press Tor
back rent. This may lead to violence
throughout the country. Some Irish officials
anticipate that it viii be impossible to pass
the winter without reimposing the Coercion
Acts. The general feeling among members of
Parliament is that there may be a winter
session of Parliament to consider the state of
Ireland and to pass coercion bills. The re-
fusal of the Land League to give evidence
dampened that body in the eyes of its Eng
tish friends. 1t is generally felt that val
liable opportunity will be lost if the Irish
tenants refuse to submit their case to the
Commission.
Various Items from London.
LONDON, August 21st.-Nothing has been
decided regarding Mr.. Gladstone's move
ments after the session. 1t is possible that
he will take sea voyage, and intrust Lord
Harrington meantime with the Treasury pat
ropage, leadership and power. This arouses
the suspicion that Mr.. Gladstone may in fu-
ture take less active part in public life.
The Tories satisfy themselves that such is his
intention, and that the step will be forced
upon him by the impossibility to maintain
European corcert on 0.tuman affairs should
necessity arise to proceed beyond moral
suasion.
Society is still excited about the Baroness
Burdett- -Coutto' wedding, which was looked
for three days ago at the Savoy Chapel. An
enormous crowd assembled there ard was
dispersed by the police, amid proans for the
Baroness, who would have been pelted In
true British fashion had she appeared. 1t is
now thought the wedding will not take place,
and that the Baroness will adhere to tie ad-
vice that she receives.
There vas ano her and more disgraceful
scene at the funeral of Adelade Nelson. An
enormous assembly caused great confusion
around theSxraye. The circumstances arose
I from no disfespect for the deceased actress.
but from the Rpossibility of the authorities
to control the crowd.
The bark Middlesex, Captain Walsh, from
San Francisco June Sd, for Queenstown,
which put in at Valparaiso on the 9th inst
in leaky condition, will proceed on the 21st
inst. Her cargo was not damaged.
The Afghan War.
SIMLA, August 21st. = General Stuart s
headquarters have te:n n esta bG he'd at Jellala-
bad. All is well with his command and the
country is quiet. According to information
brought by natives, General Roberts, on his
way to the relief of Candahar, has passed
Ghunze unopposed. Mahomed Jan and
Hashime Khan were hoyering on his flank.
IL is stated that, the tribesmen being impa-
tient, Ayoob Khan has resolved to make an
attack on Candahar before relief can arrive.
General Phayre has started for khojak to
arrange for an early advance from the south

Cabinet Crisis In SeryIa.
VIENNA, August 21st-A telegram from
Belgrade reports that since Prince Alilan's
journey to Ischel the resignation of M. Ris.
bic's Cabinet has become inevitable, and that
! henceforth the adhesion of Servia. in a mill.
tary sense to the Austro German alliance, is
looked upon as settled. It is supposed,
moreover, that a new Cabinet would meet
with certain readiness on the part of Austria
to agree to treaty of commerce. which Nj.
| Risbic appealed in vain to Austria to con.
clude, and which would include Servia.
Things In Albania.
SoUTARI, August 21st.-Much excitement
exists among the Albanians since the sudden
and unexpected departure of the Turkish
Governor, and much anxiety is expressed in
regard to the attitude which his successor,
Rizzi Pasha, will adopt. Whatever the atti
tude may be. there is a determination tc
resist any cession of territory. Preparations
have already been made in the Dulcigno Dis,
trict to resist.
