John Bright and Jose h Chamberlain, which would render the issolution of Parliament almost inevitable. It is not surprising that the Premier should be unwilling to face such a contingency. and people generally have therefore come to the conclusion that he will continue to be guided by his Bir- mingham colleagues rather than to side with the more moderate Liberals arrayed against them. The dissenting members of the Cabinet, it is understood. have agreed to wait till the opening of Parliament in January before making any move that might embarrass, or rather overthrow. the Prime Minister. an You, Nov. 27.â€"A special cable despatoh says the Msrquis of Hartin 1:, Secretary of State for India. will ad ress his constituents in northeastern Lancashire in the course of next week. on which occa- sion it is confidently and reasonably ex- pected that the plans of Mr. Gladstone’s administration With regard to Ireland, as final]; matured after much discussion, will be oreshadowed.

Mr. Leonard Henry Courtney, one of the most advanced Liberal members of the House of Commons, in addressing his con- stituents at Liskeard said if the resolution to forego asking for coercive powers was based on the opinion of the Irish executive that they were unnece'ssary.he should bow to their more intimate acquaintance with the situation. But if it had been come to be- cause one or two persons of eminence sitting at ease in London (meaning Messrs.

Dec. 8.â€"Everybody is now on the alert to learn what has recalled Parnell toDublin so suddenly. His goings and comings give rise to more anxious specula. tion in Dublin and London than the move- ments of O'Connell ever did, though it is the policy of the English press to speak of him as a much less impor get personage in the history of British pclifi‘ls,and a great] overrated man. A despal'h from Parne I definitely settles the Eclicy to be pursued by the Land eague in the event of the adoption by Parliament of the Gladstone Land Bill. or any other land bill of which coercion may be a con- comitant. Parnell distinctl says that under no circumstances will reland ever acce t coercion. He seems anxious that the vernment should understand this at once. The Government perfectly under- stood this before, but had no official intima- tion of it. The absorbing question now will be what effect will this bold challenge have on the Irish measures which the Cabi- net are discussing, and on the Irish state trials soon to come off. The great measure at the forthcoming session of Parliament will un uestionably be the Irish Land Bill which Gladstone will introduce. S ula- tion concerning it is very active. arlia- ‘mentary and journalistic wiseaeree have ‘already drawn it up, amended and assed it in a shape to suit themselves. ut in truth they know little or nothing about its Provision s. The Ministershave been extreme- y cautious in their unoflicial utterances. The Opposition Will probably never consent to the adoption of the Government’s land measures. and as the Gladstone polio in other reagents has contributed no ing either to t e dignity or aggrandisement of the country, it may fairly be doubted whether the Government can carry the House with them in the new scheme for the pacification of Ireland. “ Send troo s to Ireland," is the Opposition cry, and t e fact that the Government has seen fitto respond to it. even to the extent of a small detachment of the Guards. will be urged as an argument that if the Opposition lioy is the right licy, the Op sition s ould be entruste with the wor of carrying it out.
