THE SITUATION IN ENGLAND.

The news from England looks toward an early dissolution of parliament and and new election. on the Irish ques- ton.
 The Irish question has been the bull in John Bulls China shop for 700 years
 The Duke of Wellington when he was prime minister, being an Irishman himself, proposed practical solution of the Irish question-which was to sub merge the islands in the sea for twenty four hours. The Iron Duke was an eminently practical man.
 More British statesmen have risen and fallen on the Irish question than any other and it is not reasonable to suppose that Lord Salisbury can much longer grapple with the Irish Octupus.
 His Irish secretary MT. Baliour undertook to loan them all the money they wanted to purchase their holdings in land, and to keep peace among them at Donny brook fair, ard Of course this will result infailure. Charity begins at home.
 In the house of commons (composed of 673 membeys) the administration could barely muster majority of 23 at the last test vote, and when the prime minister fails to get majority in the house of commons his government is overthrowD, and the people are consult ed by an election.
 l have seen parliament dissolved {; election held; and a new government installed within two weeks.
 We cannot constitutionally accom- plish a similar result in the United States under four years.
 The veto power claimed by the sov- ereign in England, passed away with the head of Charles 1, and the present soy ereign is mere iigure-head.
 The vital power of the British govern ment is vested in the house of com mons which expresses the will of the people and this is omnipotent. There is no veto power in England.
 Baliour's bill providing for local county government in Ireland by boards something like our county su pervisors will pass to a second reading in the house of commons, on the Sd of March, when it's merits will be tested by a preliminary vote and if the bill is de- teated on a third reading the ministry must resign, dissolve parliament. and appeal to the people," which will throw England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales into such a political ferment as has not been witnessed for many years {; and certainly not during this century.
 We can tell better about the result of the election after it is announced.
 A great deal has been said about ab- sent landlords in Ireland; but who would stay in Ireland and get shot when they can go to Scotland and shoot grouse, to Africa and shoot elephants, or come to America and shoot buffalo. When was in Tipperary l heard | street auctioneer crying off gun. Here's this illigint gun going for two pounds tin, and warrintid to pay for the rint."
 Another traveller in Ireland witness ing the prosperity of the country-rail- roads rywhere-turnpikes all over the country-public improvements wherever needed, and finer country naturally than England, Scotland or Wales, remarked to native that he did not see what they had to complain of, {, but the native quickly replied, that was the devil of it.; the bloody Saxons have deprived us of our grievances"
 Everything has been done for the Irish that any government could do, and still they are not happy!
 Ever since the Reformation in Eng land the Irish hatred of the British gov ernment has been stimulated from Rome.
 It is not tue English landlords who suck the blood of Irish industry; but the landlord in Rome whose tithe gath erers spread over Ireland and claim the earnings of the people from the cradle to the grave; for promises to pay in the next world.
 We never hear anything of the woes of England, the woes of Scotland, the woes of Wales; aud but little of the woes oi India; but the woes of Ireland have been sung in the ear of civilization with the inonotonous drawl of blind beggar in ltaly-''like twice told tale upon the dull ear of q drowsy man."
 The Irish have been very useful class in America-they have taken en- tire control of the political machine in
