LORD H A RTINGTON.  Speaking on Mon lay, at Chatsworth, to an excursionist party, organised by the Dissentient Liberal Association of Rossentiale with the object of presenting an address to Lord Hartington, the right hon. gentleman deprecated the mixing up of holidays with polities. Referring to the addrees presented to him, he said he entirely shared the regret therein expressed at the delay whioh had taken place in passing the Irish Land Purchase Bill, and at the delay in the introduetion of a measure for the extension of local selfgovernment for Ireland. The causes for that delay were so be found in the obstructive tactics which had been pursued by • portion of the less responsible members of the Opposition—Mettles which had not been so completely disavowed or discouraged by the more responeible leaders as oonld be desired. It was, he thought, a great mistake to judge a Government solely by the &menet of legislative work it could do in a session, for a Government had a great deal to do besides making laws, and often deserved by reason of it. management of home and colonial affair, more credit than other Governments which mismanaged them thing., and yet might sueeeed in showing feats of legislation. The extra Parliamentary debates which would now shortly set in would mainly turn upon the question whether the comparative legislative failure of this session had been due to the fault of the Government or mainly due to the factious conduct of their opponents. As far as he could judge, the failure of the Irish Land Purchase Bill had not arisen from any defect in principle ef these measures. The principle of the Tithes Bill, he believed, had been approved by Mr. Gladstone, and although the Irish Lend Purchase Bill was oppoeed by Mr. Parnell, he had since spoken of it in terms which led to the belief that it wee at all events poesible that the measure would not in another session meet with irreconailable opposition on his part. He did not believe that anything which had taken place in this or former sessions need lead them to despair or to feel any dieconrageinent in hoping for the ultimate passing into law of those useful and salutary measures. The Irish Land Puietia, Bill was the nee ***** y entmlement of the legislation which had already been passed for Ireland, and was a necessary ' preliminary to a complete and liberal extension of Ilocal self-goverament.  Nail Clide, a quartermaster of the City of New York, was charged at the Liverpool Police-court on Monday, on remand, with stealing jewellery and other articles from that steamer. His wife was also charged.
