THE "r1MRs'' ON THE LAND BILL.

THE "TIMRs' ON THE LAND BILL.
LONDON. Aug. 1.-THE Times says. "If
we 60 back to Gladstone's speech in the com
mons on the Introduction of the land bill, it
will be seen that the bill in its present shape
as fully satisfies the conditions of the solution
then contemplated by Gladstone az the orig
inal proposal, With regard to Ireland there
ought to be no difference of opinion, among
tenant farmers at least, in regard to the value
OF the bill. 1t gives them all, and more than
all, that reasonable men among them expect
or ever demanded down to this time last
year."
INDEMNITY.
An active exchange on dispatches has been
proceeding during the last few days between
London, Rome and Madrid on the subject of
indemnities claimed by English, Italian and
Spanish subjects from the bey of Tunis in
connection with the bombardment of Sfax,
and there is reason to believe that a perfect
understanding has been arrived at, even the
bey declaring his impotence to deal with the
matter.
ATTACK ON THE COERCION BILL.
In commons to-day, on motion for going
into supply, Parnell moved that the coercion
act had not been administered in accordance
with the pledges which the ministers had Civ
en- when they induced parliament to suspend
the constitution, and he declared the action
of the government in regard to coercion
prevented any gratitude for the land bill.
1t was well known, he said, that but for the
land league the whole strength of the COM
mons would have been unavalling to force the
land bill through the lords. he thought the
Irish would be wise if they continued to rely on
their own exertions, which had procured them
such an instalment of just rights. Messrs.
LamOr, DAILY and others, followed Parnell.
The principal point made by all the speakers
being that the power of arrest under the coer-
cion act had been used to crush political agita-
tion, and not against the ruffians whom the
chief secretary for ireland, Foster, denounced
in his speech introducing the coercion bill.
VIM. Johnson, solicitor general for Ireland,
replied denying these accusations. He said
he hoped before long, when peace and order
was thoroughly restored, the prison doors
might be opened. Anderson, liberal member
for Glasgow, Joined Nolan in urging the. re-
lease of suspects. The latter, in urging imme-
diate release, said if the government waited
until eve-y one in Irelend was contented with
the land bill. The release of prisoners would
be long deferred. The debate then adjourned.
REMANDED.
A. D. Wheelock, absconding clerk of J. G.
Walcott & Co., New York, who was arrested
yesterday on board the Neckar, at South
Hampton, was to-day remadded to await evil
dence of his crime from America.

Members of the Cornell university crew
have returned to London, having abandoned

Spain the 24th inst.
