LONDON, April 2s.-At a banquet given to the
Ministers by one of the city companies last night
Lord Harrington replying to n toast to Her Majes-
tvs Ministers, said the evils of Ireland will never be

in the Land bill which point in that direction that
the Government looks for the ultimate and main
improvements in ID. condition OF Ireland.
John Bright, responding for The House Of Com
mons, said the object Of the Land bill IS to give as
much security to the tenant TO the landlord. and
to give him the creates, possible stimulus for the
cXcrion OF his industry
The Catholic AIchlshops and Bishops Of Ireland
have sent to Mr.. Gladstone a series Of resolutions
conveying their views rs to amendments to the
Land bll. They recommend the p'rpetuity Of
tenure TO future tcuanis dcprccate the exclusion
from the benefits Of the bill of lease-holdcrs and
tenants IN arrears They recommend further
limitation OF the Landlord rs power to object In an IN
