produce Il more eloquent example of the
policy of ramming English rule down Irish
Threats than is afforded by the Marquis
of Salisburys appointment as Irish Vice
roy of the Marquis of Londonderry, in
heriting, as he does, the blood and name
of the cutthroat Castlereagh
"Freeman's Journal" says: The ap-
pOintment of the Lord of Londonderry to
be Viceroy of Ireland and of Sir Michel
Hicks Beach to be Chief Secretary is omi-
nous of coercion. Irishmen must be pre-
pared for this.

cans have filed their defense in the case OF
the schooner Ella NJ Doughty, seized in
May last. The Government admits the
making of the treaty of 1918, but contends

prohibit the purchase of bait or ice.
BosToN, July 30th.-A Portland special
TO the advertiser says: The action O
the Canadian Government in closing the

present controversy between Canada anC
the United States, so as to force the United
- States to open its markets to Canadian fish
in whatever settlement of the question /:
hereafter made. The bay of Chaleur i
an arm of the gulf of st. Lawrence, ion
miles long and from 10 to 20 miles wide

resorted to for mackerel fishing, and it i:
believed advantage is to be taken of thu
scarcity of fish to endeavor to force con
cession from the United States. In 1877
the same thing was attempted. but had t
be abandoned at the request of the British
Government
