A coUNTRRBLAsT PROM Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN.
There has been much llitical speaking during the
week, especially from the rOries but no new light
ba. been cast on the political situation except by
Mr.. Chamberlain, who delivered discourse IN
Swansea at a dinner given by the Liberal AssOcla-
ton to Mr.. Dillwyn, the excellent member for the
Swansea boroughs. Mr.. Chamberlain thinks that
h coming session promises TO be interesting but
not exciting and reoeats the well-known list OF e1-
pected measures, including the Arrears question,
which the Radicals expect the Government will
clear of but he concludes by what practically y IS
All appeal TO the Irish members TO insist on having
another Irish session. He says that it will be Their
fault if they do not obtain hearing by insisting
that the English are not entitled to resent Irish
complaiats till every Irish grievance has been re-
moved This speech is apparently intended as
counterblast TO Lord Har lngton's recent declara-
ton against further concessions to the Irish. Lord
HariugtOn's firm attitude evidently alarmed the
Rancal allies Of the HoTre Rulers who have renewed
the tactics Of la session, attacking Lord llarng-
ton and Mr.. Forster, and disparaging the present
Administration The Daily Necs is reiterating the
parrot cry that Ireland is entitled to be governed in
accordance with Irish opinion. Radicals OF tins pat
tern are profoundly dsconcered by the revelations
from Dublin. They belittle their importance, even
throwing doubt on the credbliiy of the witnesses.
The Pail Mall Gazette goes so far as to jest, even
sneering at the plots against Mr. Forsers life. To-
davis revelations respecting Lord Frederick Caven-
disbs murder and the convictions thatare expected,
NAV presently modify the Radical and IJlsh plans.
CONSERVATIVE LEADERS.
The prospects of the session rendered more un-
certain by reports regard to Sir stafford North
cote's health, which is represented as permanently
impaired.
Lord Randolph Churchill possibly will be una bic
to take an active part in the proceedings. If be be
absent, the Tories will lose both their regular
leaders without having any prospect Of efic emily
replacing either.
WESTMINSTER ABBEY.
The alarming reports in regardt0 the condition or
the exterior Of Westminster Abbey only too we'll
founded Large portions of the facing stone have
been destroyed by the action of the weather.
still more alarming report is that the Dean VI West
Minister contsmpla;es making appeal TO the pub
lie for funds to enable him To effect extensive
restora ions including numerous architectural
changes.
GAMBETTA.
The leading monthlies contain articles On Gam
beta. Tho Fortaightly gives the best account, by
French friend, Of Ganbetta's political objects ana
mrthods, with interesting disclosures respecting his
relations to the army and tho church. Tho Con-
temporary publishes fairly good notice and
another by q German writer vindictive and ln-
accurate.

harsnly treated here, while Freuohmen are aston
