CHAMBERLAIN AND REUNION.  The following sumniary of Mr. Chamberlain's remark. at • Liberal Unionist oonversazione, hold on Tuesday night, at the Wertininater Palace Hotel. The right hon. gentleman, in a speech of 10 minutes' duration, referred to the improved relation, existing between the two sections of the Liberal party, but contended that Buell incidents as the present election at Burnley and Sir George Trevelyan's speech at the Devonshire Club last week, would do more than anything else to increase the difficulty of an early reconciliation. The effect of such incidents was to raise the hopes of the Gladstonite Liberals much higher than there was any ground for. He hinted at miliseretion on the part of Sir George Trevelyan, and said he (the speaker) thought the Gladstonite Liberals would find that they ' had niade • mistake in throwing up their hats before I they were out of the wood. The right hon. gentleman then proceeded to recapitulate the points on which no surrender was possible on the part of the Liberal Unionists. He bad no intention of giving way an inch in his demand that the Imperial Parfilament should retain its supremacy, with repreientatives from every section of the United Kinidom within its walls. No scheme for dealing with the question of ;Irish Government would be satisfactory ' which did not make it clear that the central authority proposed to be establis bed in Dublin should be subordinate to the Imperial Parliament, and not co-ordinate with it. He would insist, moreover, that such powers ae were intended to be given to the Dublin body should be delegated and clearly defined, the principle of simply ref/erring certain subleas for the consideration of the Imperial Parliament being inadmissible. Another vital point was the maintenance of law and Ardor, the responsibility for which must continue in the hands of the Imperial Parliament. He would never consent to the handing over of the Protestant counties of Ireland to a Dublin Parliament against the will of the inhabitants. On these points he was determined not to yield. He added that there seemed to be every disposition tion on the part of the Gladstonian Liberal leaders to treat these matters ax open question'. Adverting to the Irish Lad question, he dwelt strongly on the fact that the Gladatonite Liberals had absolutely surrendered the bill of last year. There were minor details which would, of course, be under discussion, but this was a very important decision, and he congratulated the Unionists upon having saved the country from a bill which, even by now, had it passed, would have brought disaster. He spoke in terms of cordial approval of the objects of the newly-founded Liberal Union, and congratulated the members upon being in such good fighting trim. They still had the fort to hold, and they were not so foolish, while negotiations were going on, to stack their arra, while the enemy remained drawn up with their lingers on the triggers of their rifles.  The 13 permits charged with the murder of Murphy, a caretaker, were brought at Killarney on Wedneaday. Two were dischar , and the others were re mended and conveyed to ralee Gaol. A Government Bill to amend the Merchant Shipping Fishing Boata Act MIA issued on Wedneeday. It provide. that where fishing boat crews are paid by , share the owner moat render an account of the sale of 1 the fish, and all deductions made on account of provi!eons or stores, subject.to a penalty for each default not exceeding £5. Early in the morning a light was noticed being moved about inside St. Augustine's Church, Haggaiston. Two police officers were climbing over the church well when they saw two young men run from the building. They were punned and captured. When the church was examined it waa found that the content.' of some contribution bole, had been abstracted, and an attempt had been made to force • large oak chest. The two young seen, whom names are Turner and Smith, hare been committed for trial as • charge of sacrilege. GeottlifeiwererobJC"....
