the abundant harvest was one fortunate clrcum-
stance for Ireland. 1t would be the duty of the
ministers to carefully examine the condition of
the law In regard to tho wants OF ireland, and II

Although tho government arc anxious to promote
practical improvements in the land laws, yet we
recognize as a duty above MI others the duty of
enforcing the law for purposes of ORDER The 0bli-

be that under certain circumstances we may be
compelled TO ask for certain increase Of power
but we will never 0ntripats such contingency.
Yet. 1t arises we shall not shrink from the ob-
cations deyolving upon US. Although the Zulu
war Is ended, yet another struggle has been begun
In south Africa am sorry 70 say, but not yet ter
minated. As to India we have not yet accom-
plished all we wish some portion Of Afghauistan
has been restored to u more hopeful condition.
We have been able to diminish by 10000 mon tho
force engaged in Afghanstgn. Referring to the
eastern question Mr. Gladstone said Tho late
premier Justly stated that If the treaty of Berlin
was carried ont it would be very beneficial. and
that England would not shrink from the OBJ
legations of the treaty. When we came into
power wo determined to uphold the treaty.
We deny that we are enemies of Tur-
koy On tho contrary, wo have pur-
sued policy by which Turkey may continue to
| exist. To iuNily that existence two things are
necessOry--the nilhlment Of international obliga-
tlons and that tho condition of Ottoman subjects
be rendered tolcrablo by equal laws. No progress
vas yet been made in the Greek question. As TO
the European concert we did not wish It to be tho
duty of England to take upon itself alone the obli-
cations of the treaty Of Berlin, but We wished To
promote the concert by SmcabIo means. Wo
have just received 4 telegram from the sultan
informing us he has good hope that during to-day
or tomorrow highly satisfactory ncws will be re-
ceiyed from Dulcigno.
Mr. Gladstone brought his speech to u close with
a toast to the lord mayor.
