similarly. The proposition was received
with ironical cheers.

Adjourned.
In the house of lords in the debate on the
address in reply TO the queens speech, the
marquis of Salisbury Conservative made a
violent attack the government. Earl
Granville, foreign secretary, replied.
The marquis OF Salisbury said that Glad
stones utterances in 1880 aud the recent
conduct OF the government in regard to
Turkish affairs tended to separate England
from Germany. He hoped the government
would cooperate with the sultan and with
France so long as their lines of policy were
favorable, but would reserve the liberty to
diverge when the interest of the East prompt
ed them to act differently. He deprecated
the policy of naturalization. Referring to
Ireland he declared the unexampled state of
affairs there would not have been allowed to
exist in France or America six months. He
reviewed the royal speech, an exhortati to
persevere in the course previously pursued,
which is, he said: "Let anarchy have its
way, and offer sop to those whom we hope to
conciliate because we are unable to conquer
them" He concluded his speech with these
words: The country expects the government
to meet the calamity Of which the doctrines
they have preached have been the cause"
Lord Granville, secretary of state for for
eign affairs, replied that the present condi-
ton of Ireland compared favorably with
that during last year, and quoted statistics
to prove the truth of the statement. The
government he said, relied on the beneficial
effect of the land act. He stated that the
governments policy in Egypt was the main
tenance OF the rights of the khedive and the
liberty OF the people. Although some inter-
vention might be necessary, the government
was able to cooperate with other powers to
prevent the necessity of forced intervention.
The address was subsequently agreed TO.
