IoxnoS June 11.-W0rk in Parliament since
r,,,rsdsv when the brief vacation ended, has been
nr,.ticslly nil, though Mr.. Gladstone relinquiShed
..r. of his holiday to be present. The threatened
.hr.ot Of the Parnellites has been postponed the
Irish say. awaiting Mr.. Forsters return 1t is re-
v,or,ed that over fifty questions will be addressed
,;,0 q, Monday, relative to Irish affairs 1t is be-
ovad that the Minister'S are resolved to propose some
farm NJ urgency for the land bill. 1t is uncertain
A., they will do so on Monday, but it is certain
that the proposal will not be long delayed. The
hill at the present rate of progress, would remain
IN committee till December. II is reported but not
an sufacient authority, that large number OF Far
NAILS supporters in Ireland press him strongly to
abandon obstruction and allow the Land bill To
reach the House of Lords in July. Parnells recent
.ueecbes aud the tone of the Home kule

r.oes in the Southwest of Ireland. All
mint 10 settled purpose to augment the Govern
ment embarrassments in every possible way MI
G,adstope's answer YESTERDAY that the Ministers had
NOT the slightest intention to abondon any part of
the Land bill. disposes of a wholc crop of rumors
widely credited. Their programme is the bill and
nothing but the bill.
MR. FORsTTR's CONCLUSIONS.
II is understood that Mr.. Forsters inquiries in
puhlin convince him of the necessity, first, of
enforcing the Coercion Act more vigorously
than hitherto; secondly, of supplying the necessary
force of police and military to enable the officers to
serve legal processes of eviction or other
writs without inquiring into the circumstances Mr.
Forster colleagues after some hesitation recognized
the paramount obligation TO enforce the Queens au
thority. which the said League is challenging a
larger scale than ever. PornelPs Hyde Park
speech has been accepted in Ireland as
i9nal for seditious violence and has been accepted
by the Government as sufficient evidence of the
impossibility Of making any compromise what
ever.
THE MINISTER'S A UNIT FOR FORCE
Mr.. Cbamberlains remarkable speech at Birrning
ham proves that no single member of the Govern
Inent any longer questions the necessity Of using
force to maintain order in Ireland, while the en-
thusastic reception of that speech among the most
Radical constituency in England demoralizes what
remained of Radical opposition in Parliament to the
Government policy.
TURBULENCE IN IRELAND.
THERE'S growing catalogue of outrage in Ireland
Such attempts as that in Liverpool are creating
degree of indignation among moderate people which
no Government can disregard.
THE ENGLISH LAND QUESTION.
Mr.. Gladstone's speech yesterday on the
English land question indicated readiness
to accept notifications in the existing system
Of tenure. He condemned limited ownership,
but suggested important changes III the
system of restrictions on the transfer of land. He
thought, however, that American competition had
more influence in creating the present depression of
landed property than the artificial disabilities of the
owners.
A GENERAL ELECTION ExPECTED.
Tho Conservatives discredit the reported intcn-
ton of the Government to call autumn session if
the Lords reject the Land bill. They insist that a
dissolution is probable, and openly avow that they
are preparing for the contingency. Hence the un-
usual number of speeches of the Conservative lead
ers But neither Sir Stafford Northcote, Mr.. Cross
nor still less the smaller fry, made any impression
on the constituencies.
GAMBETTAs POWER IMPERILLED.
Gambetta's friends admit that the Senate defeat
is severe blow. 1t is doubtful whether under
any circumstances the Senate would have passed
the Serutin de Lish, or Department Elections bill,
the real object of which was TO throw the electoral
power into the hands of Central Committee but
Gambettas visit TO Cahors gave his enemies pre-
text for saying that he aimed at dictatora power,
and enabled Jules Simon and NJ. Waddington
10 extend immensely the cabal against him,
sndorsanize the opposition. The majority was un-
expectedly large. NJ Gambetta knew on Wednes-
day night that the bill was lost. The estimates as
70 the effect on his prestige and the general polt
cal situation are contradictory, but Thursdays vote
cannot be reversed. The election of the new Cham
bes Of Deputies must be held under the old system
asmbetta's supporters, especially the Radicals and
converted Bonapartists whose seats are threatened
urge open hostilites against both the Senate and
President Grevy.
WHAT GAMBETTA SAID
Gsnbetta, When he heard the news, said: Tho
ssnate wants TO set itself above the Chamber and
nsht both me and universal suffrage; so be it.
