House of Commons The Parneltes threaten to
raise the question of privilege at the earliest mo-
ment in regard to the imprisonment of Mr.. Parneu
and his colleagues. 1t Is understood that the
Sneaker following the precedent in Mr.. Dillons
ease will rule that there is privilege. The Brad
laugh question will almost certainly be dlscuS'e"
before the Irish one, Mr. Bradlaugh meaning 10 ar

The Government intend to secure his admission
and the strongest pressure viii he used on hereto
fore rccalcilant Liberals. The whips are recalling
absent Liberals from all parts of the world by urgent
telccrams. The Home Rnlers and Torres nave

BRITISH CRITICISM RELAXING.
The Post and THE Daily Ners excepted the Eng
lish press has INDUCED in sinsulariy few comments
on this weeks dispatches describing the reversal OF
Mr.. BIaines South American policy and the
universal repudiation of his views by the people.
The Hqily Mars assumes that the Clayton-Buwcr
Treaty will stand, and likcns Air. Blaine to Oscar
Wilde, Deacon Poaram and Jefferson Brick.
THE MANSION HOUSE MEETING.
The Mansion House protest against the Russian per-
secution of the Jews, though rendered weighty by
the presence of numbers of representative men, will
not induce the Government to take any step what
ever. The 1t. Petersburg kilograms today indicate.
as was expected extreme resentment on the part of
Russia. English sympathizers themselves doubt
whether the immediate effect of the demonstrations
here and in America VIII not be injurious.
THE TUNNEL PROJECTS.
Meeting. of the two rival Channel tunnel COM
panies this week. and the appearance of Admiral
Dunsany's article in The Nineteenth Century have
loused keen interest i'll the project. The British
public heretofore sccpucal of the possibility OF eX-
eeuting the work and the probability OF raising the
needed fuade, suddenly discover two companies
ecri usly at work. Being convinced of its
possibility. the previous indifference has been
succeeded by the livcliest alarm at the military
peril and the determination is expressed on all sides
and in numerous high quarters to oppose resolutey
the enterprise There is good authority for saying
that every member of tie Cabinet except Mr..
Bright and perhaps Mr. Chamberlain. against the
tunnel project
NEW PUBLICATIONS.
The important publications of the week include
Mr.. Green's Tine Making Of England pub
lished by the Macmillans, which is an
elaborate attempt TO supply definite
account of the English conquest of Britain, the
origin of separate English kingdoms, and the
method of subsequent consolidation, carried out
with all Mr. Green's well ll-knOwn brilliancy of treat
Ient. William Morris's Hopes and Fears for Art
has also appeared. 1t is a small volume, embodying
practical and sensible views decorative |
art and beauty of life, far removed from cur |
rent ;psthctical absurdities Two Americans
undertake in The Nirete nth Century and |
EOrtpigbHy RecicW TO cXpond American |
Niows of English troubles; f. b. Thurber discourS
ing on the economical problems from a Free Trade
point of view, and Andrew Carnegie dealing rather
iauntily with political questions, but wisely warn
ing the English that an attempt to tax American
cereals would result in the complete exclusion OF
British manufactures from the United States. Bret
Harte has written a story, the first part OF
which will appear in BeFaria for March. The |
charge against Professor Mason, of the whole |
sale borrowing of his recent sketch of DeQuincey
from Pages Life of that writer is likely to oc-
cason legal proceedings against both Mr.. Mason |
and the Macmillans for infringement Of copyright.

MORO" WELL RECEIVED.
Balfe's opera of Moro" performed by Carl !
Rosa's company, has secured considerable popular
success, which is due TO care in production and cX-
cellence in the singing and orchestra On Rosas first
temperance as conductor he was cordially |
greeted, but the critics agree in condemning the
musical incongruties and shortcomings of Balfe's
