LATE NEWS ITEMS.

In the Senate, on the 9th, the Consul
lar and Diplomatic Appropriation bill was
reported and placed on the calendar. In
the House the morning hour was dispensed
with and the Funding bill was taken up in
Committee of the Whole, speeches be-
ing made by Messrs. Kelley (R., Pa,
Weaver (Gr., Iowa), McLane 3D., MOI,
Springer 3D., Ill.,, and others, in opposi-
tion to the bill, and by Mr.. Chittenden (R.,

The Queens speech, read at the open
ing Of Parliament, says that the ordinary
powers Of law have proved insufficient to
deal with the existing troubles in Ireland.
and that additional powers will be immedi-
ately asked for. The Irish Land Act of 1870
has been Of great benefit, but under the
strain Of recent and calamitous years has not
been found sufficient either in Ulster OF
other provinces. A further development Of
its principles is recommended, with a view
to giving larger portion Of the people all
opportunity to acquire by purchase per-
manent proprietary interest in the soil, ami
this legislation will require the re-
moval of all obstacles arising out
of limitations on the ownership
of property. As an additional security for
interests involved, ameasure will be submit
ted for the establishment of q county govern
ment in Ireland founded upon representative
principles, and framed with the double aim
of confirming the popular control over the
expenditures, and of supplying yet more
serious want by extending the formation OF
habits of local self-government.
