SPEECH BY LORD LONDONDERRY. Lord Londonderry, in replying to an address from the Town Commissioners of Enniskillen, said he was much gratified by their allusion to the success which they considered had attended the efforts of the Irish Executive in forcing obedience to the law, and restoring security for life and property in those parts of the country where lawlesimess and crime had so long stalked unpunished and undetected. They had indeed good cause to rejoice at the manifest improvement that had taken place in the condition of the country; but none the less did be recoginsi? that the eradication of disorder and the demoralisation resulting from years of unchecked lawlessness could not be the work of a moment, but could only be achieved by the continuance of a firm and just administration of the law. The Government would steadily pursue the same line of policy. Hs was glad to be able to look forward to the future with hope.

"Can I speak with you a few mtrzents sir." "Certainly, my boy, step In." "I have come to tell you that I have & great weight upon my mind, and I eve comb to the conclusion that the hest thing will be to make a confident of you and swept your advice, which I know you will kiodly give me." "The wisest thing you can do is to make a clean breast of it."  Leor, before saying this to his father, had had a long consultation with Allen, who had advised him what to say, indeed putting the very words into his mouth, for he (Allen) did not want to lose the good ol Won of Mr. Nevill just yet, as it might be useful to him. Thtrefore he still intended preserving his inergni to, and so fudged up a tae for Leon to tell his father.  "I am ashamed to tell you that when I wag in Paris I got deeply into debt with a man there, and what is worse, by going to a gambling house too often. Bad I taken Mr. Robinson's advice should never have gone there at all. But I was head-strong and went again and again. I could never have come biome had not Mr. Robinson kindly advanced me the money (which he could ill spare) to enable me to pay this man off. I therefore, as a small return for his kindness, invited him Le come home with we OD a visit, being determined never to enter such places again." "This is ctr.sinly very bad Leon I I must say I am surprised, thinking of . the way in which you have been brought up, that you should have gone to such lengths, knowing perfectly well your,elf that you were doing wrong, also knowing bow deeply grieved, your father and mother would have been had they lived to see such doings.
