NEWS NOTES.  Cvire deem it right to tote that we clo not ileutity our selves with our Correspondent's noilifoue.l  Tnw difficulty in tnue.ttion with the Lords' amendments of the Arrears Bill was got over by mutual con essions on the part of both Houses of Parliament, and this display of conciliatory Spirit had the effect of warding off a Ministerial crisis, whieh would have occurred at a very awkward time if it had taken place just now.  The legislation for Ireland, in the present session, is now complete, and bears a close resentblance, in the chacacter of the two chief bilis, to the legislation of last session. Coercion and conciliation were oh • distinguishing features of the two measures in both sessions. The bilis, in passing through Parliament, encountered much the 'time hind of opposition, though the Arrears Pill dil not, of course, possess the importance of the Land Bill.  Tux working of the Land Act was closely watched when it came into operation, and the same is sure to be the case in regard to the Arrears Act. It is to be hoped that these in 'senses, which were devised for the gosd of Ireland, will bare the effect, when working conjointly. of improving the condition of the farmers, and exorcising the spirit of discontent. Almost simultaneously with the safety of the Arrears Bill, the announcement was made of the dissolution of the Ladies' Land League. The illness of Miss Parnell had doubtless much to do with this result.  TICE couple of lovers who, after tying themselves together, attempted to commit suicide by drowning in the tome near Colchester, have bad two imitators in London, who succeeded in carrying out their design, being found drowned in the Serpentine. The fact of the first couple being found tied together when rescued had something romantic about it which no doubt had an effect upon the second couple, who decided upon following their example. The "Seine marriages," as they were called, formed a weird f, ature of the French Revolution ; but the tying together of couples was not voluntary -it was done by the hands of frenzied revolutionists.  NOTHING of much political significance is supposed to attach to the recent meeting of the Emperors of Germany and Austria at leaf. In regard to the Egyptian question, Austria takes its cue from Prince Bismarck, who is trying to make a catapaw of Turkey. It is Russian movements that are most calculated to excite apprehension at present. as the Czar and his Ministers seem to labour under the idea that Britain has entered upon a new departure in the policy of aggression which may not stop at the appropriation of Egypt. Reportshaveappearedof the mobilising of Russian troops at Odessa, ostensibly for the purpose of protecting Turkey.  NOTHING IS yet known as to the political rets of Cetewayo's first interviews with Lord imberley and Mr. Gladstone. The ex-King is so intent on having his wishes gratified in the matter of his restoration to the sovereignty of Zululand, that nothing London can offer him in the way of amusement is likely to gratify him until the point on which his heart is set has been definitely settled. It is not surprising that this should be so: in his present unsatiActory posttion he feels like a fish out of water.  ALSKANDRIA has been affected by a variety of excitements of late, arising from expected massacres by Arabs, expected attacks by Arabi Pasha, and arrival of kilted soldiers, the StOt3 Guards, and the Duke of Connaught. Excitements are likely to continue for some time, but no further scares will be caused by anticipated attacks from Arabi, as the British force is now strong enough to keep him acting entirely on the defensive. When he finds himself with the British troops in front of him and the Indian troops behind, he will feel as if he were about to be ground to powder between the upper and nether millstones.

THE Reading borough magistrates have sent to prison a respectable young tradesman of the town, a corn merchant named Bradbrook, for a wanton outrage upon a lady, the wife of a banker and a magistrate of the borough named Simonds. Mrs. Simonds, accompanied by several ladies, was walking through the stre,ts of Reading going to a garden party, when Bradbrook followed them, and, though a perfect stranger to Mrs. Simonds, threw a quantity of oil upon her dress, and spoilt it. He was accordingly summoned for doing the wilful damage, and he pleaded guilty. One lady of the party acc.ed Bradbrook of having persecuted her by following her in this way for a long time, and the pollee have received a number of complaints from ladies who have had their dresses spoilt with oil thrown at them in an exactly similar way. Even graver charges, it is alleged, will be preferred against him at the expiration of his sentence. _ _ _  AT THIS MANSION Moron, London, the Lord Mayor, at the request of the Local Committee of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, publicly presented to the membere of the crew of the Freemasons' lifeboat Albert Edle ard, stationed at Clacton-on-Sea, the gold and silver medals, each with a certificate, forwarded by the French Government through the Board of Trade, in recognition of their gallantry in saving the whole crew, sixteen in number, of the French steam fishing vessel Ma el dein., of Boulogne, which was wrecked on the Tunfleet Sand, near Clacton, in Oct. last.
