srISGEG REBUKE TO BRIGHT.
The Earl OF Carn.von publishes an open letter
to John Bright, Chancellor OF the Duchy of Ian
caster, protesting against his speech at Birming
ham on the 10th of November, in which he con-
demned the land laws of Ireland. and attributed
the state of Affairs in Ireland 10 the rejection of
compensation for the disturbance bill by the
House of Lords. The Earl of Carnayon declares
that, holding sentiments so ayowedly Republican
and hostile to the Crown and TO the House OF
Lords Bright ought to not be able nscientiously
70 remain a member OF the Cabinet for single
day. He draws parallel between Bright's mild
censure OF the lawlessness and crime in Ireland
and his scathing rebuke Of those guilty OF owning
land.
THE MOVEMENT or TROOPS.
Some of the soldiers on leave have been
ordered TO return 10 Ireland. The feeling among
the lower order OF people is said 10 be very strong
against military, even in Dublin IL Is COM
mon practice 10 shoulder soldiers off from the
footpath 10 provoke q quarrel. A correspondent
says: The movement OF troops has excited
very uneasy feeling. 1t is generally believed the
Government possesses information warraEting an
apprehension OF danger. The Government has
made very complete preparations for any contin-
gency. and immense supplies of provisions, tents
and other campaigning requisites have been
stored in the central depots Il is stated that all
these preparations point to the conclusion that the
Government believes that a far greater
danger than is seen Turks behind. A store ship

lntrenching tools. Another vessel Is shipping
similar cargo at Woolwieh, for new stations at
Shannon, which win be occupied by troops.
These positions are well chosen being the centers
of the disturbed districts, from which troops
could operate in various directions At all sta

RATHER STRANGE.
1t seems that the Norwegian ship Juno, which
was seized by the customs authorities at the
mouth of the shannon. Ireland, on Wednesday
last, had started from Queenstown for New York;
but was driven back into the Shannon by stress
of the vessel a natural result of the character
of her cargo There does not seem TO have been
any surrepuuons attempt TO land arms, though
the presence OF considerable number OF Irish
Americans in that district at the moment is
pointed to as singular coincidence.
REVIEW OF THE BRITISH GRAIN MARKET.
The Mark Lane Express, which on account of
the holidays is published to-day instead of on
trade for the present week, says: THE land is
generally too wet for cultivation. The samples at
hand show very large proportion OF the English
wheat crop was injured by wet in the stack.
Wheat in good condition sells readily, and the
prices for red are low. The large supply of dry
foreign makes the sale of inferior English red
wheat crop Of 1850 is turning out to
be less than any of the published
estimates: Barley continues to decline, in conse-
quence OF the large supply, though fine samples
are very scarce and occasionally command fancy
prices. Oats are firmer. Foreign grain was inan
innate and dropping throughout the week. Ey-
erything cheaper. Wheat cargoes have been
declining slowly but surely. American red win
