LONDON, Aug 26.-Mr. Gladstone has
devoted another long speech to the task of
impressing on the English public the
wrongs of Ireland. lie can find but two
parallels for what is now going on in that
island-Poland and Naples. Nor does he
think even the case Of Poland quite so
discreditable 10 Russia as that OF Ireland
is to England. Ireland never gave En-

Bomba treated his political prisoners bet

historical narrative, disputes the conclu-
sions he draws, and denies the justness Of
the comparison between the methods Of
Mouraviet and the methods OF Mr. Bal
