THE LATii LORD BEACONSFIELD. The death of Lord Beaconsfield relieves the Exche- quer of a payment of ^2,000 a year. This was the pension which the l ite statesman drew as an ex-Cabinet Minister. It is an optional advantage which a few ex- Ministers may or m tY not aVitil themselves of, according as they think proper. The salary of an English Prime Minister is a manifestly inrdeqtiate remuneration. If the matter were to be regarded merely from a monetary consideration, it is obvious that a man able enough to be Prime Minister of E-igland could, if he turned his attention in other directions, earn considerably more than £5,000 a year. It was, thereiore, delicitely arranged many yenrs ago that two or three of the prin- cipal officers of State should carry with them retiring pew.inn", A £2,000 a year. Mr GUd-tone has never availed b Imseit of this privilege. Lord Beaconsfield, being a man of smaller fortune, has not thought it im- proper to accept the not too-overwhelming b-.untyof the State. la all Lord lie ;consti> Id has drawn £26,(100 from this source, representing the thirteen years he has been out of offic- since he first became Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ttie pf-ncion lapses when tbe rearulaf salary of a Minister i" drawn. Thus from 1874 Mr. Disrueli disappeared from the li;ot of pensioners of the Ststp. In 1880 application was made for tbe £2,000 in the name of the E td of Beaconsfi-ld. The Citizen "usgests the following as an appropriate inscription for the N-uional Monument to Lord Bea- consfield, if it should nver be erected :— In Memory of Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconstield, Twice Prime Minister of England, Supreme master of invective, paradox, and sarcasm, he WilO said, Mankind is my great game," Oh, politi 's, thou splendid juggle "Trade unions and triennial Parliaments are indispensable."

The following appeal is made in aid of a memorial to the late Earl of Beaconsfield, K.G., at Hughenden: —" Sir,-A desire is generally expressed and has met with considerable sympathy that a private and per- sonal memorial should be raised to the lamented Earl of Beaconsfield at Hughenden, and I feel very strongly that the place with which he was so long and so intimately associated has an unrivalled claim on the sympathy of the public. It is suggested that the most fitting and appropriate method of carrying out the pious desire, independently of any public or national monument that may be in contemplation, will be to complete and beautify the church he loved so well, and under whose peaceful shadow he now lies. Thif appeal is to give to all the late earl's friends and ad. mirers of all classes an opportunity of showing tbeir devotion to his memory in a substantial form. The east window is promised and is already in hand. For the rest it is proposed to carry out the following works so far as our funds permit:—(1) To fill the five re- roaising windows in the nave with stained glass, for which deigns are already prepared, the snbjt-cts having been approved by Lord Beaconsfi. ld; (2) enlarge the organ in accordance with a plan which met with the late earl's sympathy; (3) to complete the interior decoration of the church; (4) to erect a handsome spire, and to complete the peal of bells. I may add that subscriptions will be received and acknowledged by the Union Bank of London, PriiicnVstreet, E C.; by the London and County Bank.

♦ WHY DOES VACCINATION PROTECT FROM SMALLPOX? A correspondent un'H r!»e ^nature of "S^i-as* thus writes in Land and Water:-T iis is a o.-int that very few people understand. I' ha> long been knowa and accepted as an indisputibl" fict 'hut arl attack of small-pox confers almost r.fcct irn~u:i*y -igainst a second attack. Jenner, wh' itsying it lanuhouse, found that the cows not unrr^qu"- t!y -uffered from an eruption, which frequently in-'c'«*d the hands of the milkmaids and labourers that ranked the cows and he found that it was quite an established fact, well known amongst the country people, that when small-pox was prevalent in their neighbourbood those people who had had their hands affected by this eruption caught from the cows escaped the small-pox. Tbie struck Jenner as being a matter worth inquiring into, and he experi- mented upon the subject, and found that by inoculating persons with this disease from the cow they were pro- tected from small-pox, and he introduced the practice, and its benefits were found to be so great that his new system of inoculation from the cow rapidly superseded the practice of inoculation with the small-pox, which practice was then largely followed, as it had been found by experience that when persons were inoculated with the virus of small-pox they suffered from it as a rule in a much milder form than when they took the disease by infection, or, as it was termed, in the natural WA.V" It was for a long time believed that cow-oox was a distinct disease, until the late Mr. Ceeley: of Aylesbury, investigated the matter; and after careful and exhaustive examination and experiment, he clearly proved that cow-pox and small-pox were the same diaease, but in the form of cow-pox it was much modi- fied and ameliorated by being passed through the system of the cow. In other words, if you take the virus of small-pox and inoculate a cow with it, the f resultant disease is not small-pox as in the human sub- ject, but what is known as cow-pox or "vliocine." Now we see, recollecting our starting point-that one attack of small-pox confers proteCtion why the vaccine disease" (which is nothing else. but small-pox altered by being passed through the cow) should confer an almost complete immunity on persons vaccinated. Before the practice of vaccination was introduced t¡)" mortality from smau-pox,in London was forty timet greater tAari it is now Since vaccination been compulsory in England the death-rate from small-pox has diminished to fifty per cent. of what it was in %oe sixteen yeers previous, when vaccination was very ex- tensively practised, but w -s optional. The statistics of small-pox hospitals in London, ex- tending over a long series of years have shown that less than one in the hundred of prefer y vaccinated persons who suffered from small-pox di..d, whilst « little over thirty-ifv<- in the hundred cases of »mall-pox in cases of pers >ns unvacciuaLed died. Surely this, compared with a rare and .occasional death from disease following vaccination, which I haTe shown above, and is not necessarily the fault of vaccina- tion, is sufficient to convince anyone of the benefits re- sulting from the operation! j t The anti-vaccinationists says that other diseases of a foul and loathsome nature are conveyed along with the vaccine disease. Whilst I am r.ot in a position to deny its possibility. I would suggest that iLili by no means satisfactorily shown that such does take place, as it is quite as likely that the loathsome disease is hereditary, and lying dormant in the system of the child vaccinated as in the child from which the lymph is taken. Nay, more likely, as if otlier disease existed in the child from whicn the lymph wer > taken it would nest probaply be apparent to the eye, and prevent the jperator from vaccinating from it, uileashe were utterly rarwless and reckless upon the matter. Another argument, m =de uff of hy atiLi-vaccination- st# is—that it is unnatural and repulsive to practise ntroducing matter from beast into the human system. Chits is so peurile that it is scarcely worth norice; else, Tisat can vou d,ícYn.tA the practice of eating the flesh tolids and.fluids of animals, as we do every day of our ives!

The Attorney-General, on. Friday, applied to the Master of the Rolls for an injunction to restrain the Fulham District Board of Works from using a building ;hey have erected as a small-pox hospital. Toe Master if the Rolls said the Board had no legal rtghtjJ ■irhatever ;0 do what they had done; but at the request of defen- lants* connsel he granted them time to consider the jlaintiflfs case. No more patients beyond those already n were to be received at the hospital.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. "1 HOUSB OF LORDS.—Monday. The motion for an Address to the Queen praying Her Majesty to give directions for the erection of a monument to Lord Beaconsfield in Westminster Abbey caused an unusually large attendance of peers. There was a considerable number of peeresses in the side galleries, and the strangers' gallery was completely lI11ed. • ^'on^^ranville moved the Address in a speech which rivetted the attention of the House and elected sympathetic manifestations of approval, He expressed hisopioion that very few arguments were required in favour of the proposal, and pointed out that it did; not tnvolve political considerations. He thought it im- possible for anyone to deny that Lord Beaconsfield had played a great part, and he said he believed no one would dMY that Lord Beaconsfield had played a great part, and he said he believed no one would deny bis splendid gifts or the force of his character. He himself heard that first speech, famous for its failure, which Lord B-aconsfield delivered in the House of Commons. He believed that if that speech had been made when the House of Commons knew Mr. Diaraeli better, it would have been received With sympathetic cheers; but its closing sentence shows the unconquerable confidence Of the man. As a proof that this force of character W-fck ■^l0rc' Beaconsfield to the end of his life, k 1? mentioned that just before his speech on the Aghan question in the present Session, Lord Beaconsfield swallowed one drug and inhaled another in quantities nicely calculated to free him from suffer- ^e time required for his speech. He said Lord Beaconsfield washimaelf very free from prejudices, if J16 was to^erant of them in others and he referred to the power he possessed of appealing to the imagination, not only of his countrymen, but of foreigners, a power which was not extinguished even by death. Having referred to Lord Beacons- field s good nature and to his appreciation of kindness shown him by others, Lord Granville concluded by saying that of the smoothness with which the portals of that assembly rolled back before distinguished men without reference to caste or to blood, of the welcome which was given to such, of the distinguished place which wasassinged to them in their lordship's ranks, he knew no brighter or more brilliant example than that of Lord Beaoonsfield. Lord Salisbury, in seconding the motion, expressed his concurrence in tbe graceful and eloquent language of Lora-O-ranville. He referred to tbe deep interest with which the fate of Lord Beaconsfield was followed, not only by all classes of people in this country, but by men of the greatest influence and power in other countries and he remarked that when the struggle was over and the great career was closed, no doubt was left as to the verdict of the, country on Lord Beaconsfield's character..Lord Salisbury told their lordships in feeling terms that his close political conneqtion with Lord Beaconsfield had been comparatavely recent, but had las .ed through dimcult times, and that the patience, gentleness, and unswerving loyalty, which Lord Beaconsfield manifested towards his colleagues made an imprefsionon him which would never leave him. He described Lord Beaconsfield's zeal for the greatness of England as the "passion of his life," observing that Lord Beaconsfield wished to see England mighty, powerful.andgrea. He closed an effective speech by Baying tl<at ^motion_about to be adopted by their lordships was like the feeling o.ut of doors-no expres- sion of any party or feeling, but one of admiration for the splendid genius and magnificent services of the man. Lord M^mesbury, as an intimate friend from early life, expressed his opinion that Lord Beaconsfield had possessed every domestic virtue a man need have. He mentioned that his domestic life while Lady Beacons- add lived was of the happiest, but that after her death Lord Beaconsfield said, I have no home." The motion wae then agreed to. The other orders having been disposed of, their lord- ships adjourned at ten minutes to 6. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Monday. After some fifty questions had been put to the Ministers on various subjects, Mr. Gladstone moved that the House should go into Committee for the purpose of considering the proposal for an address to the Crown on the subject of a monu- ment to the Earl of Beaconsfield, and the House bar- ing gone into committee without discussion, the right bon. gentleman rose immediately to move an address to her Majesty, praying that her Majesty would give directions for the erection of a monument in the Col- legiate Church of St. Peter, Westminster, to the memory of the Right Hon. the Earl of Beaconsfield, with an inscription expressive of the high sense enter- tained by the House of his rare and splendid gifts, and of his devoted labours in Parliament and in great offices of State, and to assure her Majesty that the House would make good the expenses attending it. He feared he must not cherish the hope that the threatened op- position to the motion would not be persisted in, but he offered an earnest entreaty that it might not be made tbe subject of lengthened or contentious argument. Speaking in the character of an opponent of Lord Beaconsfield, nothing would be more painful to him than that the grace of the proposal should be marred by its being made the occasion of angry controversy. His object was to fulfil a duty, and the fulfilment of that duty appeared to him to lie in a oarefnl considera- tion of the precedents applicable to the case. Those precedents ought to be liberally interpreted, but in all thesemonumental and complimentary matters all ad- ditions te precedents ought to be regarded with jealousy, because there was a great temptation to make such ;■ additions, every one of which was a cause of embar- rassment on future occasions. That was not the occa- sion on which to draw a historical portrait of Lord Beaconsfield, nor was it the occasion to attempt a political eulogy. The position was in some respects peculiar. He did not know that it badenr happened that a Parliament bad been called upon to accept a proposal of this kind with respect to a Minister to whose policy it was in sharp antagonism. Still, they were not wholly without guidance. When Lord Russell proposed, in 1850, in a speech of great good taste, a monument to the memory of Sir Robert Peel, he de- clined to enter into tbe nature of the measures with which that Minister was associated, and quoted the case of the proposal for a monument to Lord Chatham, which was brought forward by one of his sharpest poli- ticalantagonists. The present occasion was one in which tbe majority of the House should be on their guard against giving way to their own narrow political sympathies, and it would be better that aproposal of; this kind should be altogether abandoned than that it should be made tbe occasion for manifestations of political partisanship. In judging whether such a pro- posal should be entertained, they had to look to two questions only—namely, whether, the tribute was pro- posed to be paid to one who had sustained a great historic p^rt and who had done great deeds written on the page of our Parliamentary and national history, ,j and wbe her those deeds had been done with the full authority of the constituted organs of the day and of the nation itself. Upon neither of those points was there in the present instance the smallest room for • doubt. What Lord Beaconsfield did was done under., precisely the same constitutional title and with the feme Parliamentary authority as that under which the § resent Government now claimed to act, and Lord leacouafi^ld'8 name was associated with at least one -tfreat European transaction and arrangement. The 1 ?an wkom they were called upon to vote this ad- t dress sustained for seven years the office of Prime Minister, and for nearly fifty years led a great, party In the country. It would not be fair to Lord Bea- consfield or to his friends that he should draw his historical portrait; but it was pleasurable to himself, and usrful to all, to recognise the great qualities of the deceased statesman. In addition to his extraordinary intellectual powers. Lord Beaconsfield possessed quali- ties which, were be (Mr. Gladstone) a younger man, he thenfd like to stamp the recollection of upon himself r for his future guidance, and which he would recom- mend those who were younger than himself to notice and to imitate. He spoke of Lord Beaconsfield's strength of will, his persistency of purpose, his remark- able power of self-government, and last, but not least, .of all, his great Parliamentary courage. His sympathy with struggling genius was so great that for it he was nady to risk popularity; and his profound, devoted, fratefu' tender affection for his wife, if it bad deprived him of the honour of public obsequies, had left for him a more permanent title for esteem than that of the administrator of the country. It was an error to sup- pose that men who widely differed in their political sentiments were actuated towards each other by feel- ings of intense antipathy. He wished to record his arm conviction that in all the judgments ever delivered by Lord Beaconsfield upon himself, he never was actu- ated by sentiments of personal antipathy. Sir 3. Northcote, in seconding the motion, said that, whatever might be its fate, one monument more en- during chan any which could be carved in stone had already been erected to Lord Beaconsfield in Mr. Glad- stone's speech just delivered, nobly expressed and nobly conceived, which was an honour not merely to the oratpr and its object, but to the House of Commons. Advening to. Mr. Gladstone's last remark, he said that, ( fcpesking as one who had enjoyed much of his intimacy awd confidence, b« could testify that in alltfaeir con- troversies no personal feeling had ever warped Lord Beacoiufield's sentiment of admiration for his chief politioal opponent. While agreeing that the moment pot opportuiM* for dilating on Lord Beaoonsaeld's pohtMai aehtMeMento, he touched in graceful and Mumg terms; on^the qualities which endeared him to his fnenaaand: hjsparty.. Mr. Labouchere, who was received with cries of Agreed and-a few ehgers from below the gangway, mored that the Chainfcan leave the chair. While ex- pressing his admiration for Lord Beaconsfield's gifts and disclaiming all intention to offand his party, he tontendedthat it was impossible to separate the man from the poHtipian, and asserted that there was no pre 1 ssdeat of a memorial being erected to a Prime Minister J unless his policy was at the time supported and ap- proved by a majority of the House and of the country. But Lord Beaconsfield's policy had been decisively condemned by the country, and the Liberal party would be stultifying itself if it agreed to this vote. Mr. A. O'Connor made some remarks in support of the amend- ment in an impatient House, and a division being taken, it was negatived by 380 to 54. The address was then agreed to. The adjourned debate on the Irish Land Bill was .resumed by Mr. Errington, who regarded the Bill as an honest attempt to remedy all the real grievances of the Irish people, though he admitted it would never satisfy the expectations which had been raised by those who prac- tised on the credulity of the people. Canvassing the Bill, he pointed out that the landlord's right of pre- emption might defeat the intention of free sale, and recommended a limitation of the tenant's right of mort- gaging his tenant-right. He did not concur in the censures on the emigration clauses, and suggested that landlords who thought themselves aggrieved should have the right to sell their estates. Mr. Dawson defended the objects of the Land League and the views which it took of tbe legislation necessary. The Bill, he admitted, was a revolution in its way, though it would require amendment in many points, and especially he dwelt on the necessity of some provi- sion for dealing with arrears of rent. Mr. Brodrick, while expressing the anxiety of the Irish landlords that the Bill should be fairly dealt with, declined to vote for the second reading, because he thought that whatever defects existed in the Act of 1870 might have been met by a less complex measure, and that there was nothing in the condition of tbe country to justify a Bill which reduced the landlords to a condition of uselessness and would exalt the exist- ing tenants at tbe expense of all other classes. Mr. Summers thoroughly approved the Bill in all its parts, mainly because it dealt with the question ac- cording to Irish ideas. Sir J. Holker cordially approved Part V., so far as it was calculated to meet the chronic evils of Ireland— the excessive dependence of the population on agricul- ture and the poverty of the peasantry. At the same time he had no great confidence in the permanent establishment of a peasant proprietary, and would have preferred a proposal to enable the Commission to acquire land and let it out in small tenements with fixity of tenure. But to tbe sweeping alterations in the law of landlord and tenant he strongly objected, contending that the Bill was drawn with designed ob- scurity, and that if its object had been stated nakedly the country would have been appalled. Among other objections, he urged that it gave a bonus to tenants who had good landlords, that it destroyed all sense of security, that it would give an annual tenant the right of conferring an himself a lease for 15 years, and that it would have the effect of raising instead of lowering rent. Its general character was gross confiscation and spoliation, and it would confer no real advantage fin any class of the population. Mr. Bright contended that the Irish land system had completely broken down, and tbe main cause of this was.the insecurity of tenure, to which he traced also the poverty and discontent of the country. The nr. sent condition of things could not be left untouched— either we must go forward or backward; and what the Irish tenants asked for was not a wild plan of con- fiscation, but a measure which would give them adequnte security in their holdings at an adequate rent. As to the fair rent" clause, he anticipated that over the greater part of Ireland rents would continue much as they are, but the parties would be put in an improved relation to each other, and would be able to agree with each other without going into court. The other clauses would give the tenant that security which the tenant required, and though they did certainly unke many concessions to the tenants, they were accom- panied by safeguards for tbe landlords' interest. This, he said incidentally, was one of the reasons of the complexity of the measure. As to compensation to the landlords, his answer to that was that nine-tenths of the honse" barns, fences, and general cultivation of the land of Ireland were the produce of the tenant's labour, and not of any expenditure by the landlord. On the purchase clauses of the Bill he naturally laid most stress, because be held that if it were possible by a stroke to convert three-fourths of tbe occupiers into owners it would be a long step towards making Ireland prosperous and contented. After some remarks on emigration, he concluded by claiming for the Bill that if it were worked fairly and with energy it would be a blessing to the Irish people. Sir B. Cross, criticising the Bill and especially the purchase clauses, asked what better position the tenant who had borrowed the whole purchase-money would be in under the State than under his landlord. The other clauses of the Bill altering the relations of land- lord and tenant would encourage absenteeism, and lead ultimately to the exaction of higher rents. On the 7th clause he dwelt at some length, contending that it went far beyond the supposed necessity of checking increase of rents. The tenant, of course, ought to be compen- sated for his improvements, but this clause went far beyond it and gave the tenant something which had always been regarded as the landlord's property, and without compensation. The debate was then adjourned on the'motion of Mr. Shaw. Some other business was disposed of, and the House adjourned at five minute past 2 o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS.—Tubsday. Lord Midleton gave notice that on Friday he would ask whether the Government intended to take any further and what steps for the better protection of the well-disposed subjects of Her Majesty in Ireland. The Inland Revenue Buildings Bill was read a second time, and the Municipal Franchise (Scotland) Bill passed through Committee and was reported to the House. Lord Carnarvon rose to call attention to a letter in The limes of the 15th of April purporting to be written by the Right Hon.W. E. Gladstone to Mr. Tomkinson on the Transvaal war. He commenced by thanking the Colonial Secretary for the fair way in which during his absence he had referred to the part he had taken in the annexation of the Transvaal; and then turning to the letter, pointed out tbab Mr. Gladstone made in it a charge of a very grave character in con- nexion with that annexation. The right hon. gentle- man evidently referred to it in a passage of his letter in which he spoke of not wishing to go back on events and refer to an earlier policy. Until he knew what the right hon. gentleman's charges were he would not go into them; but whenever they were stated he would be found ready to defend the part taken by Sir Theophilus Shepstone and himself with respect to the annexation. The statement in the letter that the war with the Boers had been stopped in order to avoid blood-guiltinees was one which he had read with the utmost astonish- ment. That statement was made after our troops bad sustained three defeats, one of which had been brought about by one of the most treacherous and cold- blooded massacres that had ever occurred. He charged the outbreak on Mr. Gladstone's Mid-Lothian speeches and the appointment of Mr. Courtney to an Under-Secretaryship in Her Majesty's Government. He did not admit that the annexation ought to have been set aside at other opportunities without tbe dis- credit which attached to the agreement which bad been come to with the Boer negotiators. He said that those negotiators were men who had made the grossest accusations and charges against English officers. The result of the agreement come to with them was that society in the Transvaal had been resolved back into its original elements. There was now no law there, because the magistrates could not get their orders executed and yet something was due by this country to the natives and the English colomstswho had entered into engagements on the faith of promises made by England. There was no peace in the settle- ment that had been come to. That arrangement would lead to fresh troubles, and, he feared, to fresh bloodshed.- He could conceive nothing so dangerous and nothing so expensive as the idea that any conces- sions could be wrung out of England by pertinacity and force of arms, and that was a notion which he thought the peace with the Boer leaders would greatly tend to encourage. Lord Kimberley again reminded their lordships that any approval he had ever expressed of the annexation of the Transvaal was condition on tbe information adduced in its support being correct. He most now express bis opinion that, with one exception, the policy pursued by Lord Carnarvon in South Africa was one of the most lamentable failures that had ever been experienced. As he had predicted, the confederation scheme of the noble earl proved to be premature. The charge founded on Mr. Gladstone's Mid Lothian speeches he met in the debate raised by Lord Cairns; but as to the appointment of Mr. Courtney, he would observe that it oould not have been one of the causes of the outbreak in the Transvaal, inasmuoh as that outbreak occurred before Mr. Courtney's appointment. He held that events amply proved that the annexation had not had the consent of the population, whereas that consent was Lord Carnarvon's main ground for settle on fair terms the matter in dispute. VVe had seiue on iair vcim* commenced by not oommenced the war, it nau the Boers, He was aware of the cUngers and *,ffi- culties which beset this question and d speak in too sanguine a tone, but he thoug policy pursued by Her Majesty's Govern men least as good a chance of success as that inaugurated • by Lord Carnarvon.. 1 The Duke of Argyll was of opinion that in perhaps c sharp language the letter of Mr. Gladstone gave an j accurate description of the situation. He held that no Government would have attempted to annex the I Transvaal if they did not believe that such annexation, would have the assent of the majority of the inhabi- tants, and up to the time of the outbreak he had supposed that only a small, though active, minority was against it. That was the report of our own officers but such evidence was disproved by the rising, That circumstance affected his conscience when he was a member of the Government, and he thought that as bur troops had been shot down by deer-stalkers rather than soldiers the defeats sustained by small bodies of our tnen rashly exposed to large numbers of the enemy ought not to stop the negotiations. The quotum was a political and not a military one. There was the danger of a war of races, and he held that the policy pursued by Her Majesty's Government was the right one. Lord Brabourne once more expressed his opinion that the course taken by Her Majesty's Government was likely to lead to the most disastrous result. Prestige to a country was very like credit to a great commer- cial bouse; and he argued that the prestige of England had suffered by the conduct of Her Majesty's Govern- ment. If two or tbree hundred dogs had been slaugh- tered le« notice could not have been taken of the oc- currence than had been taken by bis noble friend the Secretary for the Colonies of the massacre of the detachment of the 84th Regiment. Their lordships adjourned at a quarter to 7 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Tuesday. At the time of private business, Mr. Stanhope moved a new Standing Order giving power to local authorities to appear and oppose Gas and Water Bills. a;; 1 Mr. Pemberton proposed an amendment strictly lirn'tinjj this power to matters contained in the Bill >r pr ipo^d to be enacted. This was supported by Dr. PI ay fair, but Mr. Chamberlain, while advising the Hou-e r;, ac- cept Mr. Stanhope's motion, strongly objected 'f) the limitation. After some discussion, the amendment was negatived by 311 to 56, and the Standing Ord-r was then agreed to. Mr. W. Holms gave notice of a motion for the 31st, deprecating the conclusion of any unsatisfactory c 'tn- mercial treaty with France. „ TT In answer to a question from Sir. ri. Wolff, Sir C. Dilke said that, though the French Government had given no written assurances on the subject, M Saint Hilaire had twice, in conversation with Lord Lyons, disclaimed any intention of conquest or annex ttion. The Government had heard that some such Note as that mentioned in the mornio./ tpers' Of M »nd<iy had been presented at the Porte. •y had "o "ltheotic information. Sir H. Wolf ff er<;upon gave notice of his intention to ask Mr. Gladstone whether. he Govern- ment was prepared to take steps to prevent France obtaining exclusive possession of a naval and military position neces-ary to our Indian communioaiion, to the Sultan's authority, and to the independence of At the conclusion of question t»me, Mr. Bradlaugh presenfpd him«e!f again at the ta e» n pursuance, as he said, of the duty imposed on im y aw of taking tbe oath. The Speaker, as on the former occasion, told him that the House h '(1,or^rpjL;^m,.to with- draw below the bar, and until >»• j erected it would be his duty to enforce tha • He there- fore directed Mr. Bradlaugh to wi which that iientlfman refused to do, repeating • order was illeg.il; hut he Sergeant-at-Arms be g called in, and laving hi- hmd on his shoutfer, he retired with him qui. tly to tne bar.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. THE ANGLO-FRENCH COMMERCIAL TREATY. The Paris correspondent of th- Times writer — Hap- pening to meet M. Tirard, the Minister of Commerce, I solicited him for an interview. In this interview I urged on him that the interest of France was to give English commerce proof of a goodwill which seemed to be doubted, and said I should be glad to be able to assure it that the intentions of the French Government were not so refractory as was represented. M. Tirard was very reserved. He said:—" I quite agree with you, and should be very glad to furnish you the arguments you desire to place before the English public, but it is not an easy matter. In the first place, I have seen nobody commissioned to open offieial negociations. A few days ago, at a dinner given by Lord Lvon«f Sir C. Dilke introduced Mr. Kennedy to me as having been sent over to inquire into the con— sequences of specific as compared with ad valorem duties. Mr. Kennedy called on me in the capacity described, and we had a long talk on general questions connected with the eventuality of a commercial treaty. We do not yet, however, even know whether the negociations are to be held in London or here, to which, • nd«ed, I attach no great importance. Mr. Kennedy brought me the samples of woollens you see on my table, and asked me how they would be affected by the specific system. As you may imagine, I could not give an answer, but investigations are being made, and I shall shortly be able to tell him the result. It is mani- fest that out of the number of articles which bad to be included in our classification some are not favoured by the new system; but competent men have assured me that, after a little feeling, manufacturers will get on well With our tariffs. It must be remembered that the question has been under discussion for ten years, and tint every Government, or rather Cabinet, during that time, with the exception, perhaps, of M. Thiers, has been highly desirous of concluding a new treaty with England. This evidently shows that tho Cabinets have been much more favourable to free trade than the Chambers or even the country. CirciAastances have been against uf. The heavier taxes since the war on agriculture and industry, the bad crops, the vine diseases, have all afforded the adversaries of free trade weapons which we have 'toot been able to successfully foil. There is no lack of writers to show that France owes her great prosperity to free trade; but those who go among the peasantry, who are making less money and paying more taxes, telling them that free trade is to blame, find ready listeners, for the peasant sees but one thing—namely, that he is growing less, and when this is eiven him as a reason everything inclines him to believe it. It is difficult, therefore, to presage how the future Parliament wil be composedfor wearent over certain that the whole of tbe Southern Depart- ments will remain very ardent for free trade ideas and we are sure that in the north the Protectionists have lost none of their strength. As to getting the present Chamber to renounce the specific system which it has adopted, it is out of the question to think of such a i thing You must remember the discussion lasted three years,' and that after three years' fighting a general tariff has been voted, which has not yet been promul- gated. How can you be so imprudent as to ask the Chamber to change its mind? We have secured a general tariff whioh is certainly not what we wished, but is nevertheless a tariff which enables us to get along pleasantly. It is already more than could be obtained under the Empire. We have also secured a right to reduce the general tariff by 24 per cent, in favour of the conventional tariff, and as we insisted on this margin you may be sure we are decided on making use Of it, but it is out of the question to try to get us to run counter to an absolute Parliamentary resolution and open afresh the principle which served as the basis of its deliberations. Only there is no time to lose. Nobody knows what the future Chamber will do, and. as the English treaty expires in the beginning of November, we may very possibly be confronted with the general tariff. We are perfectly aware of the gravity of such a contingency, but it will not be for want of desire to have the matter settled if this comes to pass. For my part, I think we could effect an under- standing, and if the question could be freed from diplomatic dilatoriness, if I were brought face to face with a competent and well-disposed man, in a week we should have settled it, a few mutual concessions being made not affecting the question of principle. Other- wise, we do not know what may not happen; and certainly it is desirable for all parties to put an end to uncertainty, which is the worst situation possible. I am convinced that an arrangement can be made, if not to the great satisfaction of everybody, at least, not to everybody's great dissatisfaction." By way of conclu- sion to the above, I might say that free trade received a fatal blow in the death of the Prince Imperial and the virtual disappearance of the Imperialist party. When M. Thiers was thinking of the famous theory of the raw materials and the actual re-establishment of Protec- ti, nism, almost the only thing that deterred him was that it might render Bonapartism popular in England. This was his chief reason for hesitation in yielding to his Protectionist tendencies, which were stimulated by M. Pouyer Quertier, who very dexterously pleaded the disasters of France and the necessity of reviving her f industries. If the Govermment holds out against the assaults of the Protectionists, it does so because it is convinced of the advantages of free trade. THE AUSTRIAN ROYAL MARRIAGE., "VIENNA, Tuesday.—The great nuptial ceremony which has occupied the minds and attention 6f the Viennese for weeks past was celebrated to day with a, grandenr well befitting the ocoasion. The weather to- day was cold, but rain did not fall in the same disagree- able manner as yesterday.. T I. The ceremony took place in the Church of the Im- perial Household, Saint Augustine. From a very early nour large crowds gathered m the streets, approaching- the Burg Palace their number being augmented every Homent by sightseers from the suburbs and the pro- vincial towns. The surging mass of people were kept baok by a large force of infantry te enable those honored with invitations to approach the Church and the Burg Palace. The Church unfortunately for the numbers r; who desired to attend, is only a small building, and before those who were more olosely connected with the great event bad arrived it seemed as though the little edifice contained as many as it was capable of holding. The Apostolic Nuncio, Mgr. Vanutelli, tbe Belgian Am- bassador, the Burgomaster of Vienna, and others had Cached :the Burg: Palace during the morning, and at M o'clock tbe procession started for Saint A.ugustine. pages, Chamberlains, Privy Councillors. Knights, and officers of the Household, resplendent in their gorgeous Uniforms, only gave a slight indication of the brilliant Pageant to follow, The Archdukes and the foreign Princes, all in full uniform and walking in pairs, were followed by tho Crown Prince Rudolph, in the uni- form of a Major-General, with the collar of the Gol- deo Fleece and the stars of the Orders of Stephen (Hungary) and Leopold (Belgium). Then, followed" the E'lioeror Francis Joseph, having on his right the King of the Belgians, both being in general g uniform, The Emperor wore the Grand J^°rddn of. Leopold, and the King that of the ^»lden Fleece and the Grand Cordon of |Ste- P^en. Tbe party was surrounded by a wbote' 5*y of Chamberlains aud officials in uniforms J&tla decorations, which !fairly roads • »be *Yeg dazzle.

THE LAND AGITATION IN IRELAND. The rupture in the Irish Parliamentary party, or, rather, in the section of it which acknowledges Mr. Parnell as its leader, has caused much anxiety and regret among its supporters at this side of the Channel. They express a fear that the loss of the votes of the majority of those present at the recent meeting may endanger the safety of the Bill, and they deplore the existence of disunion in the ranks at a time when the details of the measure will have to be fought out in Committee. When it is remembered that the majority number altogether only 17 votes, and that the whole party if they voted solid could only add 32 to the majority for the second reading, it must appear strange that any apprehension should be felt as to any effect which the action or inaction of Mr. Parnell's followers can have upon the fate of the Bill. Its promoters are doubtless reassured by the thought that if every mem- ber who sits on the Opposition bench, including the disunited sections of the Irish Parliamentary party, were to combine and vote against it, the Government, if they take measures to bring up all their forces, can out- number them by a large majority, even after making allowances for possible defections upon the question. Efforts have, it seems, been made, without success, to reconcile the two parties, and the minority are, it is said, determined to act upon their own convictions, notwithstanding the pledge which they took, many of them very reluctantly, at the conference in Dublin, to pield to the decision of the majority. Had the hostile movement against the Bill been made on grounds of principle and a direct issue instead of as a measure of retaliation upon a collateral proceeding, and, to a large sx ent, from personal feeling, it is probahle that the minority would have felt under a greater difficulty in ieclining to obey the arhitary resolution of the confer- ence, which was passed upon it by an extreme and tyrannical section. The opponents of the Bill and of the Irish Parliamentary party look on complacently at the quarrel and ridicule the assumption of the party to represent the Irish nation, although they number only one half of the body of Liberal and Home Rule members. Mr. Shaw and his followers, as well as the four Liberals of the North, who do not sympathize with-the policy of the party, are altogether ignored. Mr. Dillon's arrest, which Mr. Parnell and his devoted band are so eager to resent, has not produced in Ireland an amount of excitement and indignation at all com- mensurate with the intensity of their passion. The local leagues and boards of guardians in numerous places are passing resolutions protesting against the conduct of the British Government; but compared with the demonstrations which have taken place when the heart of the people were really stirred, such expression of vexations appears very faint and feeble. The course which Mr. Parnell's party have resolved to take does not meet with the unqualfied approval of even the most ardent and advanced of their supporters here. Arch- bishop Croke, who is in the van of the movement, in full accord with the foremost leaders, writes a long letter on the subject, in which he expresses his dissent from their policy. He says as regards Mr. Dillon, be yields to no man in Ireland in respect for him or in the amplest appreciation of his noble nature. He admires him as a hero, and believes in him as a politician. He thinks he is thoroughly acquainted with the wants and woes, as well as the virtues of*the|people, and that he would unhesitatingly lay down his life for his country's good. It is kind of him," observes his Grace, to be an Irish nationalist. His father before him had to fly for his life with a felon's price upon his head, and had "To run the outlaw's brief career And bear his load of ill." but his Grace endorses the opinion that after all the fact that the Government by arresting Mr. Dillon has done a wrong and spLdul thing, is not a sufficient reason why the Irish party in Parliament should do a foolish or even impudent thing to avenge it." His Grace is prepared to take his share in any movement within the law which t^friends of Mr. Dillon may suggest, whether as regards the action of the Govern- ment in his cane, or as a testimony of the truth, high principle, chivalry, and dauntless patriotism of Tip- per&ry's imprisoned member." At the same time he cannot approve of the especial means which the Irish Parliamentary party are said to contemplate with a view to exhibit their sense of loyalty towards their cdlleague. With respect to the Land Bill, he holds to the pronouncement of the heirachy, and while commend ing the fidelity and expressing admiration of the pluck and perseverance" of the advanced Irish party in Parliament, be takes the liberty of saying to them that with great respect for their judgment, the vast and overwhelming majority of the Irish people, including, of course, Irish ecclesiastics of all grades, are in my humble opinion in favour of giving the Government a fair chance of passing the Bill, in case the amendments suggested by the bishops, as well as in the Land League manifesto and convention, will have been substantially incorporated with it." Any how this does not appear to him to be a fitting hour to oppose the measure. Let it have a second reading, he says, and then let it be discussed and dissected, and fought over, if necessary, in Committee, and if it cannot be brought into such shape as would commend it to the good sense of the country, let it then in God's name, he says, be rejected by aU means as inadequate to do what it PrWhadteverdmay be thought of Mr Dillon's arrest by his friends and admirers, there can be little doubt that it has given a check to tbe lawlessness in the country. Although the accounts from different plaees still show that the people are ma state of reckless excitement, and disposed to follow the ad vicfi of their leaders in rWeatine and resisting the law, tbe number of outrages _„ /Inrin? the last week. Some furfchnr has aecrewp" —- -— rests of local agitators nave been made in the west and south and the disaffected classes are thus reminded of the power of the authorities to put down disorder with a strong band. The persons arrested are of a humble rank in life, but possess an amount of local influence which makes them dangerous to the public peace. May 8.—It is stated tbat, although Mr. Dillon is not in any immediate danger, his condition is anything but satisfactory. Immediately after his1 incarceration he had a severe attaok of dyspepsia^ which in his case has ashUtfted i chronic form. From this he has now slightly recovered', but the improvement has been so trifling that he has been, ordered into the infirmary by Dr. Kenny his medical adviser, While in the infirmary ne will be subject to the same regulations with regard to visitors as though he was in prison. Owing to his ill less only a. few of bis friends bare been able to see him. The Cork L'tnd League and the Midleton Board of Guardians passed resolutions on Siturday, con- demning the arrest of Mr. Dillon, and offering him symptthy. I A Sckne IN Tippjb baby. —On Saturday morning a civil bill-officer and a law messenger from Mallow proceeded to the Counties of Liikericlt and Tipperary to serve eject- ments on four of the tenents Of Mr. Brooke Brasier, of BallyeUis. They succeeded in serving some of the eject- ments, but the object of their visit having become known, a mob' was summoned by means of horns sounded in the adjacent hills, and the law officers had to run for their lives to; a small police-station at Kilrnss, in the county of Tipperary.' The cOnstable of the station, apprehend- ing an attACk/Bent to Tipperary for a reinforcement. In the meantime a great crowd of people surrounded the station, add demanded the surrender of the bailiffs. Stones were thrown, and the windows of the house were wreokod. When a reinforcement of six men arrived from Tipperary an attempt was made to prevent them from reaching the station. Three of them were struck with stones, but by charging the people and threatening to fire they succeeded ill joining their besieged comrades. By this time nearly three thousand men an ) women had as- sembled. They Clamoured for the bailiffs and shouted and yelled in a fierce mattner. Stones were also flung on thereof of the station a-nd against the windows and doors. Amid this scene of violence four priests arrived and en- deavoured, but ia vain, to induce tbe people- to desist. Soon afterwards a large force of constabulary, with one hundred men of the 48th Regiment, and Mr. M'Carthy, R. M., ordered the people to disperse. They refused and commenced atone throwing at the police and military, some of whom were struck. Mr. M Carthy ordered the police to arrest the ring-leaders, and a dash was made among.the c'rowl, twmi y-tw> <.f #riom were a.-re^od. The poiico and military were ordered to load their rules, and tho mob, having become overawed, dispersed. The bailiffs were rescued. Tbe military did not reach Tip- perttry till three o'clock-on Siiuday morning with their prisoners* One of the policemen had his teeth knocked out with a blow from a. stone, and a man who threw a stone at a soldier was in turn struak with the butt end of a rifle and knocked ilewn. Others were also injured. The utmost excitement prevailed.
