ENGLAND AND IRELAND.

LONDON, December 27 John Bright re-
plies Co the Earl OF Carnarvon's letter pro-
testing against Bright's speeeh at Birning
ham last month. He says: 'You COM
mention my apeech Of the 10th OF Novena
ber, aud and 10 It terrible blemishes not
discovered by ether critics. You condemn
me for attacks or sovereign aristocracy and
koN.ss,a szs,era. have defended monarchy,
- tagh the defense Is little needed In this
country and In shia region. / have warned
the aristocracy Of the danger I wished
them to al,nn. As TO the landowners,
have been one Of the most prominent sup
porters Of the policy so necessary for the
country, and SO wise for them, that had 1t
been obstlnately resisted, the great land
owners OF England aud Scotland would
long ago have been running for their lives,
as some OF the Irish landowners arc rep
resented to be doing now. will not reply
at length TO your letter. | am content to
leave 1t and my apeecls to the judgment Of
the public"

DUBLIN, jan 2.-Should Parnell and
other t1ayersers who are members Of the
House Of Commons decide 10 go to London,
there is nothing in the law under which
they are indicted to render their presence

nouncement that the government will pre-
cede the land bill by measurers Of coercion,
that Parnell and his colleagues will decide
to attend TO oppose this policy.
