ENGLAND.

LONDON, February Sin the house of
| commons this afternoon Justice Mccarthy,
| on behalf of the Irish members, gave notice
| of long amendment to the address, criti-
| cally condemning every point in the gov
ernment's Irish policy, and urging the i'm
mediate return to constitutional methods.
Forster confirmed the statement that an
! explosive letter had reached Dublin Castle
| after his departure for London. Ii opened
| as the senders desired, he would certainly
| have lost his hands and might have been
| killed.
| In the debate on the address in reply to
| the queens speech, Northcote assailed the
governments policy. Gladstone in an elo-
quent speech vehemently attacked the Land
| League, and highly eulogized Forstef's efforts
to restore order. With regard to the COM
mercial treaty with France, Gladstone said
! the question had for some time been whether
| to break of negotiations, but they had not
| yet arrived at point TO warrant this course.
HE upheld the impartiality of the commits
sioners under the land act, and said the aver
age rent reductions 80 far was twenty-three
per cent In regard TO the Land Leagues war
against all property, he said he thought there
was every indication that great conspiracy
| had not only been confronted but defeated.
2. J. Smith, home-rule member for Tip
perary, moved an amendment TO the address
| in favor of the repeal of the union. Debate
then adjourned.
