He is said to be strongly against any
policy which would deprive Ireland
of the bleSsing-as he regards it-of a
landed gentry. There are advocates of
cumpulsiUn to be applied to the lands
under the act of 1881, and amending
acts. That would leave the owners n
possession of demeSne lands, of home
farms and of all lands of hand. But
these persons have no Idea of provision
of funds. They are told by Irish land
lords that if eOmpulsiOn is applied pay
meut must be liberal, and that it must
be in British gold or British credit
that cOmpulSion and Irish credit upon
a Tory basis of government cannot hold
together. Those who are in the best
position to know what is thought IN the
most responsible quarters would

he contest is fixed for the 14th inst,
and it will be over the full course be-
tween Putney bridge aud the slip at
MOrtlake, for purse of f400. The
rivals, who were out nearly every day
during the Searle and O'COnnOr prac-
tice, are taking their training easily. for
naturally each is nearly in condition
now. The heavy betting element intro
duced into the late match has so far been
absent from this event, but this is ae-
counted for by the fact that Bubear has
been away at the seaside, and very little
has been seen at Putney of his oppo-
nent. A close race is looked for all
through, as both men have a

The question of establishing court
of criminal appeal. which was raised
during the MAVERICK agitation, will be
brought before her majesty'S ministers
at tie cabinet council to Oe held next
month The constitution of such a court
has been sketched by Lord Fitzgerald,
and his proposals will be carefully con-
sldered 10y the government. He sug-
geStS that the court should not be
varying one, but should consist of seven
judges nominated for life, or until resig-
nation. In the case OF conviction and
sentence of death the Judges should be
bound, unless absolutely prevented, to
attend the court within seven DAYS after
such sentence, and in other eases at any
time fixed by the president of the court.
Five judges would form a quorum,
and the appeal should be as large
as pOssible-on law, facts and

merciful conclusion. Lord Fitzgerald
further thinks that the consideration of
mercy arising from particular circum-
stances, as. for example, youth and ex-
IRENE sickness, should not be excluded
from the purView of the court. The
decision of the tribunal should not
necessarily be final. if after new facts
should arise or could be brought for

The Samoa difficulty. which was
