LONDON, Saturday, July TO- 1880.
This was an awkward week for the Government.
The long-smouderng symptoms of Wing revolt
broke out with the Marquis of Lansdownes resig-
nation 1t was due ostensibly to dissatisfaction
with Mr. ForsteIs Irish Compensation for Disturb
ance bill but 1t is doubtful whether that alone
would have produced the crisis 1t rs known that
sharp discussions have taken place in the Cabinet
regarding the general policy of the Government on
questions relating to land. The Duke OF ArgylPs
resignation at one moment was threatened. lhe
Earl Spencer's was also apprehended. The Wing
peers view with profound discomfort what they
consider the radcalism of Mr.. Gladstone on several
ia or lasa
conservativein in such matters than the Torres. Inc
Earl of Derbys recent allegiance to the Liberals is
in danger of dssolving. The Tories openly allege
that he intends TO lead the opposition to the Irish
bill in the House of Lords, and they hail Lord
Lansdowne's withdrawal as the forerunner
of further designations. the Duke OF Argylrs
included Ministers say that the Cabinet is intact.
Lord Lansdowne's secession is regretted but II Is
important only If followed by that of more consld-
cradle men, Lord Lansdowne though able, sincere,
accomplished good administrator in the India
Office the head of powerful family, and a large
Irish proprietor is Liberal only on purely political
questions belongs individually to the third rank in
political life, and exercises slight influence over
public opinion. He made the palpable mistake in
poit;ca tactics of choosing for his resignation the
moment hen the Government was Offering conces-
sions to the landlords.
THE IRISH PARTY FURIOUS
Mr. Forster's acceptance of Mr.. Laws amendment
infuriates the Irish party. Mr.. Parnell has made
two speeches. in which he bitterly attacked MIR.
Forster, withdrew his support from the Govern
ment and invited Tory alliance to throw out the
hill The truth is that Mr.. Parnell hoped to extort
a measure enabling tenants to defy their
landlords, and resents MODIFICATION which
ensures an equitable adjustment of the
conflicting claims of landlords and tenants
Lord Lansdowne on side and Mr.. Parnell on
the other represent extreme views and irrecon-
sable interests. The Government is honestly en-
aeavorng to hold the balance between the two.
OBSTRUCTION CAUSING TROUBLE.
Meantime obstruction, subtle but systematic. and
practised jointly by the Tories and lrishmen has
brought public business to state where Mr. Glad
stone is obliged to hold over the House the menace
of a continuous session to August or September.
MR.. REDpArH on IRISH AFFAIRS.
Mr.. Redpath reports that his Investigations dur
ing the week show that while acute distress still
exists IN several parts of Western Ireland the area
of the famine has largely diminished. He declares
expressly that no further contributions from America
are needed. excepting funds already in bank,
which should be forwarded Immediately. Inc
Mansion House aud Duchess Of Marlborough funds
are both low, but it is believed that
the balance in the hands of the Lana
League and The Herald Fund Committee and the
Catholic and Protestant hierarchy is sufficient
relieve the existing distress until the distribution
of the Government grant. Famine and typhus
fevers both owing to inadequate diet, are raging
in the County Mayo. Early potatoes are nearly
ripe in the limestone districts Of the West; another
month will be required for the Northwest crop,
which is a good one. Evictions are multiplying IN
the West In various Western counties the Fourth
of July was celebrated by the peasantry. The
Spring exodus to America is nearly over.
THE NEW FRENCH AMBASSADOR
NJ. Callemel-L Lacours speech at the Mansion House,
though much applauded, scarcely diminishes the
hostility shown him in the fashionable world. The
marked coldness toward him thus far is due
largely to the persistent cabal formed against
him by the subordinates of the Legation,
who. belonging to the Legitimist- Clerical party,
resent bitterly the intrusion of Republican IN the
sacred circle of diplomacy. Personally N. Challe-
mel-Lacour makes a favorable impression by his
distinguished manner and brilliant conversation
Mr. Lowell was among the first of his colleagues to
