The Marquis OF Harrington on Ireland.
LONDON, Jan. 20.-The Marquis of Harting-
ton, secretary of state for war; in q speech at
Bacup last evening" referring to the condition
of Ireland, said that, through miserable
hatred and hdeous conspiracy, he had lost
relation beloved by all. His brother, Lord
Frederick Cavendish.l He had, he said, the
greatest confidence in Earl Spencer, lord
lieutenant of Ireland, and Mr.. Trevelyan, the
chief secretary, who went to Ireland at a
time of great risk. An irresponsible society
existed there side by side with N very threat
cning agitation and widespread sympathy
with crime. Secret societies, the marquis
said, no doubt existed in Russia, Germany,
France, and America, and where they ex-
listed extreme measures were always neces-
sary. The evil must he grappled with. The
Irish problem could only be met by firm de-
termination. The marquis said he did not
think the matter was hopeless. The law
must be strengthened to meet the exceptional
condition of the country. The government
meant to show that murder would meet its
just reward. Home rule, he said, could
never be permitted in Ireland. 1t had been
suggested, he said that the government
should find funds to establish peasant pro-
prictary in Ireland, but he strongly condemned
the idea of paying out the hard earned funds
in the English eXchequer for such
purpose unless il could be shown that the
people were capable and willing to work. AL
| though he could not say that crime had been
eradicatod, there were clearly good results
| from the exceptional legislation in regard to
Ireland. The marquis said he had every rea-
son to believe that the distress in Ireland
could be met from local sources of relief with
out an appeal for help from the imperial funds.
He believed that little rest was necessary
| for Ireland.

Motion or the Receiver for Leave TO settle
with the President Denied.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. ia motion Of
Oliver Ames, receiver of the credit mobilier,
for leave to make settlement with Thomas
c. Durant, formerly president of the COM
pany, was denied in the United States circuit
court by Judges McKennan and Butler this
morning. Durant held certain lands in Iowa
and Nebraska which the company claimed,
and in October, 1881, the court granted the
receiver leave TO make an arrangement with
him by which he should be released from his
obligations to the company upon the sur
render of the lands. About year ago an
affidavit was filed by George II. Bispham,
esq, representing Rowland G.. Hazard, of
Rhode Island, for motion to vacate the
former order of the court, which was granted,
and on April 22, motion was made to tho
court to renew the order of Oct 10 for leave
to make settlement with Durant. Exami-
ners were thereupon appointed, and they
filed their report covering several hundred
pages of testimony and exhibits. The motion
to sanction n settlement was formally denied,
and the petition having that object in view
dismissed.
