who attempted to speak to him. Earl Spen-
Ger told her he was unable to hear what she
was saying, but that he would talk to her at
the CASTLE Miss Parnell writes to the even
ing papers that she had been shocked to hear
that the erection of huts for evicted tenants
in Limerick had again been stopped and that
she had asked Earl Spencer whether this re-
port was true From his position he could
not hear her. Miss Parnell believes he was
ashamed and that he would gladly escape
from the odious position in which he has
placed himself: She urges all who are con-
nected with the building Of hints to persevere.
If on e man is arrested, she says, let another
take his place. so as to leave no shadow of
excuse for the continuance Of this outrage on
humanity. She believes that if the people
do not show little determination, children

The new minister, Court Tolstof is said to
be the incarnation of every thing despotic
and retrogressive, and it is alleged that he is
disliked at St. Petersburg and abhorred in
the provinces. The silent but fateful forces

work out a revolution that will vale into in
significance the seas of blood which swept
over France, and out of which Christening

A dispatch from Rome says that, in view
of the wishes expressed in Garibaldi's WILL
the minister of public instruction presented
in the chamber Of deputies bill for which
