LONDON, May 2, 1SS9.-It is safe to say
that Lord Salisbury, Mr.. w. H. Smith
and Mr.. Balfour have not consumed
much time in reading the lately pub
ished speeches of that political bull
in a china shop, Lord Randolph
Churchill. The friends of Mr.. Smith
were happily released from their fear that
Churchill would come into Parliament
with the strong support of Birmingham
behind him and take the leadership of the
House of Commons from the newsdealer
Mr.. Balfour gives him very wide berth
and Lord Salisbury has an undisguised
horror of the Democratic Tory"
The Premier is also troubled by the re-
luctance of Lord Londonderry to retain
longer the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland,
notwithstanding his promises and the in
ducements held out to him by the govern
ment to stay there. Lord Londonderry is
naturally kind hearted man, and it is an
open secret that he would be glad to get
away from the unhappy country where, no
matter what his private disposition may be,
his name will be associated now and
henceforth with tyranny and oppression.
His ostensible reason is that he requires
all his time to attend to his private affairs,

his tenure of office, but he does not men,
tion the perpetual pleas of his august
spouse for release from her uncomfortable
exile among the shorrid Irish"
The Tories quote as proof that the
Irish are not so destitute as reputed, the
fact that out of the e35, 900 subscribed for
the defence fund some a27, 900 were raised
in Ireland. thus making their Gberality a
point against them, method ofreasoning
worthy of its source. since none OF the
contributions has been large,
There has been much disappointment
and heartburning among ambitious lord
ings at the selection by Her Majesty of
the Earl of Erne to fill the vacant Knight
ship of st. Patrick, and it will cost the
government some votes, but the Earl is
the most active Orangeman in all the
order and won some prominence by sug-
gesting while ago TO the Protestant
employers of Ulster, to discharge all
Catholic workmen.
The Irish and Liberal journals take a
malicious pleasure in commenting on
Dhuleep Singh's modest request for the
restoration of the celebrated Kohinoor
diamond, which, he asserts, belongs to
him by right of succession. The Queen
is not so sensitive as to feel greatly
annoyed at the accusation of retaining
stolen property, and beside had valid de-
fence in that such a proceeding is one of
the prerogatives of royalty, and depart
ure from it would bankrupt all the reign
ing families in Europe.
Sir Charles Russell will on Saturday
next announce his decision in regard to
the rental question between the tenants
and landlord on the Vandeleur estates,
which were submitted to his arbitration.
On Tuesday last Mr.. John Dillon adj
dressed a monster meeting at Melbourne,
Australia One Thousand persons sub
scribed to the Home Rule fund. Mr..
Dillon is meeting with great success on
his Australian trip.
