LONDON, November 11.-Reports
from all parts of County Cork dis
close the most extraordinary eager
ness on the part of the farmers to go
before the land court. In some dis
tricts large sums Of money are being
subscribed towards the formation of
a mutual protection fund.
The large reductions of rent by
the sub commissions under the land
act are causing an outcry on the part
of the landlords and a demand for
government compensation.
The Times says: We think there
is no doubt yet apparent for the be-
lief that the lenient landlords have
to submit to the sweeping reductions
of rent. In contrary event, howev
er, they will doubtless endeavor to
hold the ministry to it's pledges for
compensation given during the de,
bate on the land bill.
A liberal member of Parliament,
who Loyalty supported the land bill,
writes that it is as unjust that the
rents be lowered because of the
waste and improvidence of part of
the tenants as that embraced in his
improvements. If rent is to be re
duced because of the age and feeble
ness of the tenants the landlords
should be compensated by the gov.
ernment.
j. II. O'Donnell, home ruler mem
Lord Partarlington, at Darlington,
writes to the Times, pointing out
that on old hereditary estates rents
have not been raised for number
of years, and if the sub-commissions
reduce these rents anything like 25
per cent. the cry of confscation will
be rightly raised, and Mr.. Glad
! stones declaration in the House of
Commons relative to compensation
,, will come to the front with irresista
BILE force.
Der of Parliament for Durgraven
also writes to the Times pointing out
in Castle, Blaney, and Enright cases
where reductions of rent have already
been appointed against, and that
the landlords acting unitedly are
accumulating magnificent case for
appeal to Parliament for compensa
ton.

ion in Is cases in the Marlin and

COLOGNE, November 1.-THE Ga
zette says: Should Prince Bismarck
resign the chancellorship, we hope
the Emporer's answer will be now, as
previously, "never," as far as
the guidance of Germany's foreign
relations are concerned, but with re-
gard to her domestic and social pol
icy, may it, in Gods name, be en-
trusted to some less hasty and more
skillful hand, for the empire needs
internal repose.
