ulspatch says Dill0ns arrest mas
not caused the slightest excitement in
any part of the country on the con.
trary, it appears to have a quieting
effect. Some of the warmest friends
Of the tenant farmers condemn Dill
Ions speeches in the strongest terms. "
1t is asserted that the sultan has

LONDON, May At is understood
that the opponents to the Beacons
field memorial have represented to
Gladstone that q vote on the measure
ought to be postponed until after the
second reading of the land bill. The
debate on the land bill is likely to
continue throughout next week.
Some conservatives believe that the
postpOnementofthe memorial question
is desired in order to give
an opportunity to radical constituent
cies to demonstrate against it.
The Post says: The resistance Of
the section in the house of commons,
which owes peculiar loyalty to Glad
stone, is either a singular proof of a
lack of discipline or indicates double
intention, which we should be the
last to attribute to Gladstone. II
would not be decorous that the quail
6catiOns OF the late Lord Beaconsfeld
for place in Westminster should be
the occasion of a painful discussion be-
tween Gladstone and an influential
section of his following who were
mainly instrumental in placing him in
power. Some conservative prints de-
clare that Gladstone himself is oppos-
ed to the memorial and that the mo.
ton for the erection of the memorial
was introduced at, the wish of the
queen. 1t is officially known that the
queen expressed such wish.

A Semi-oficial journal in St. Pc
tersburg repeats without qualification
the statement of the Russian Courier
about Russian escort going to Cabul
with the family Of the ameer of
Afghanistan. If the statement is
correct, it seems difficult to reconcile
it with the orders Of the late czar, that
no visits or communications with
Cabul should be exchanged, or with
the wish Of the present czar to culti-
vate friendly relations with England
regarding central Asia.
