Gladstone at the Lord Mayors Banquet.
LONDON, Nov. S.-Lord Granville, Lord Sell
berne, Earle of Northbrook, Earl of Kimber-
ley, Mr.. Gladstone, Mr.. Childers, Secretary of
State for War and Mr.. Faucet, Postmaster
General, were among those present at the BAN
quot given tonight by the Lord Mayor. Glad
stone, replying to the toast to Her Majesty's
Minister, said that when he spoke at the late
Lord Mayors banquet in 1881, the
question then was whether the fabric
of sobiety in sIreland was to re-
main on its ancient foundation, or be
broken up. The government had not scrupled
ty use powers entrusted to them with vigor and
determination. At the same time they relied
more confidently on measures of justice.
He could now, he said, record his conviction
that new tone OF sentiment was
dawning among the Irish to see ameliora-
tion of law by peaceful efforts. He ventured
to say foundations of society in Ireland were
now in but little danger; monthly returns of
agrarian outrages was now Ill as
compared with 511 committed ,in Oc-
tober, 1881. There might be in Ire
land exttaygant apinions and desires that
could never be fulfilled, but If the Irish be con-
tent to walk in ways of legality, the empire
was strong and free enough to entertains in "a
friendly and kindlo spirit and demand, that
may be made for free discussion
and perfect publicity in matters relating
to the Irish policy. The British institutions
vineed to effect settlements OF every political
controversy by bringing it to Ia completely sat-
isfactory or at least fair and tolerable issue.

Will England Annex Egypt.
Carlo, NoY. ga note was issued by the
abolition of the European control. The note
points out that the control as reconstructed by
the Khedive in 1870, no longer offers any guar
antee to the bondholders but has become an
institution OF dual and political character
which has proved the cause OF many admins
trative difficulties. The note does not mention
any proposed substitute for the control.
Gladstone on Home Rule.
DNBLIN, Nov. 9.-The Dublin Freeman's
Journal says Gladstone never yet has declared
SO clerely his opinion as to the necessity for
home rule in Ireland as he did in the Commons
last night. The whole kingdom will recognise
that the cause of home rule Us being distinctly
advanced by his speech.
With regard to the Irish party, Mr. Glad
stone said he believed that a complete and ef-
fective system of rules was essential for meet
ing the wants of ireland. There was no sub
ject in which he felt more profound interest
than local government for Ireland, but it was
mockery for the Irish members to come into
the house and tell the government to establish
local government in Ireland, when they did
all in their power to narrow the time for dis
cussion, by which alone such legislation could
be enacted and given to Ireland.
A Socialist Meeting.
