It's rumored that the English cabinet has
under consideration a project to purchase
some land in Ireland and distribute it
among number of poor tenants. This is
probably intended as an experiment and
as an entering wedge for more extended
purchase and distribution.
THE sculling- match between Edward
Hanlan, of Toronto, and Edward Trickett,
Of Sidney, New South Wales, over the
Thames championship course, from Put
ney to Merelake, for the championship Of
the world, the spertsman's challenge cup,
e40O sterling, came off on the 10th inst,
and was won by Hanlan in his usual style.
The race was a mere procession from the
start to the finish. Hanlan rowed in
splendid form: He stopped several times.
allowing Irlckett to come up, Tremen-
dous crowds of people witnessed the affair.
The London Times in its leading edi-
torial says: 1T is certain that the most
important question considered by yester-
days cabinet was whether all citizens Of
Ireland can be protected by the ordinary
machinery of the law. We have every
reason to believe that those who were
most directly responsible for the admins
tration of affairs in Ireland have come to
the conclusion that without increasing the
power ofthe executive the present state of
things must not only continue, but the
Land League will enlarge its borders and
become daily more enterprising and auda
cious" The article recommends the sus
pension of the habeas corpus as remedy
JOHN BRIGHT speaking at Birmin-
ham, on the 18th inst, strongly condemned
the land laws of Ireland, which virtually
gave the proprietors the monopoly Of the
land. Mr.. Bright attributed the state of
affairs in Ireland to the rejection by the
house of lords of the compensation-for-di
turbance bill. With regard to the future
he said force would effect nothing. The
government would not approve chimerical
projects for the transfer of land to ten
ants. Mr.. Bright said he believed the
remedy would be I: well-considered plan
of giving tenants security in possession of
farms and protection against constant in
crease of rent. This plan would include
provisions by which landlords willing to
sell would be able to deal with tenants
willing to buy.
IRELAND advices of the 18th inst, say:
The Boycott relief expedition, organized
to deliver Lord Erne's beleaguered agent
from his perilous situation, arrived at
Ballenrobe, escorted by the military.
Great excitement prevails. Although
the peasants were on the ground in full
at the arrival of the expedition, no dis
turbance is reported as yet except the dis
mounting of hussar by the mob Some
thing more serious is likely to happen
very soon, however, as large bodies
of troors are now on the way to
Boycott's and thousands of peasants,
some fully armed, are also on the
road. In spite of the peculiarly threat
ening situation, it is noticed that as
usual, the feeling prevailing between the
friendly than that between the peasants
and the constabulary.
THE St. James Gazette in leading edi-
torial expresses fear that the ministry are
driving or being driven toward legislation
creating peasant proprietary throughout
Ireland, probably with a view to extend
ing it's operation to the United Kingdom
later on. The ultimate means will prob
ably be the purchase of land by the state
and its distribution to the peasantry, to be
paid for in a certain number of years.
Nothing short of this will be accepted by
the Irish agitators. The radical members
of the government and their supporters
will not consent to coercion. The min
listers will yield to the radicals rather than
suffer the cabinet to brake up. An at
tempt may be made to clothe the plan in
some disguise. but substantially and in it's
full effect this is what the extreme men in
the cabinet are hoping and striving for.
A PARIS telegram of the 18th inst. says:
There was tremendous scene in the
French chamber of deputies tonight at
Paris M. Boudrv d'Asson, the legitimist
deputy for La Vendee, who had been ex-
PEELED on Tuesday by President Gambetta
for calling the government a government
of burglars" and expressing his wish that
he might soon assist at the obsequies of
the rebublic, re-entered the hall tonight
He was oriered to leave. but refused,
Troops were called in and commanded
to remove M. Baudry d'Asson. He
resisted, and his Acknowledgements came
to his rescue. Then ensued a wild hand
to-hand fight between the deputies and
the soldiers. The benches were torn up
in the melee. After long struggle the
soldiers dragged M. Baudry d'Asson out,
and something like order was restored.
The scene in the F:ench chamber of depu-
ties has caused tremendous senation
here. The Bonapartists are hilarious, and
call the scene the crisis before the crash.
They regard the republic as on its last
legs. The impression prevails that, after
tonight, anything is possible in France.
