DISCUSSIONS OF IMPORTANT MEASURES.
A letter from Davitt to the Most Rev. Thorn
as Nulty, bishop of Meath, violently denoun-
cling the landlords, and demanding the home
rule, has been published. Bishop Nulty read
the letter to the assembled clergy of his dol

The Times says it cannot be doubted that
the speech of Dillon in the house of commons
yesterday was intended to prove to his disaf-
fected countrymen that he is no party to the
kilmainham compact.
Lord Salisbury, speaking at Stratford, last
night, dwelt on the importance of constituent
cies preparing for the general election, which,
he said, must specify occur. He severly CEN
sured the kilmainham compact, and described
the arrears of rent bill as measure for pay
ing the debts of persons from funds on which
they have no claim.
Gladstone stated that he would propose that
the house adjourn tomorrow until Thursday
Parnell renewed his debate on the repres-
sion BILL He said he believed that the infer
ences drawn from Dillons speech were I'M
warranted. He regretted that the government
had not confined itself to the Arrears of rent
bill, which would have brought about settle
ment of Irish affairs. He defended boycott
ting to a limited extent as practiced by En-
gliSh workmen. The feelings of the Irish peo-
pie, before the Phoenix park murders, were
calming. but all is now upset by fresh coer-
con which will simply play into the hands of
societles. Parnell's speech was very moder-
ate, and almost an apology. Parnell said he
and his friends in prison had certainly never
thought that the transfer of land to its occu-
piers would be effected by any other means
than by purchase. He entreated the govern
ments when, arrived at the last moment, not
| to shut the door of Cancellation.
Chas Russell, liberal member of Dundalk,
through sympathizing with Irish aspirations,
cordially approved the provisions of the bill
where they ask for the abolition of juries, L.
wing fines on districts, and right of search
against the importation of abominable litera-
ture from America.
Jesse Ceilings, liberal, predicted that there
would be great outcry in England if anybody
should be hanged in Ireland on a judgement
arrived at without the verdict Of jury,
Trevelyan. chief secretary for Ireland, adj
mitted that the government sent, Simultaneous
", messages of Cancellation and coercion, but
pointed out that the messages were not sent
to address. He said Earl Spencer had deter
mined that all the cases of interference with
the huts for shelter of evicted persons should
be submitted to him before the police were al
| lowed to interfere. Trevelyan stated that
Clifford Lloyd would not set in any court I'M

The announcement of the engagement of
tie Princes Beatrice recalls the sarcastic
speech with which she greeted the news of
her sisters engagement to the Marquis of
Lorne: "Well suppose shall have to take
one of MarshalPs & Snellgrovess young men,"
the firm named being the leading dry goods
house Of London. Her Royal fancee is not
prince among merchants, it is true, but he is a
mere grounding among princes; so that after
all she was not so far out in her prophecy.
