THE CONDITION OF IRELAND. On Tuesday, in the Quoon's Bench Division, Mr. T. Al'DerniOtt, Q (j., drew attention to the case of Sui'-constablf iSteptii'iis, of the lioyal Irish Constebu- lary, who was coiiiniitt<-d to Castiebar Gaol on ft coroner's warrant, eha. gng Lilli with the man- sLui^iiter of the iiiati named Quin. It will be re- ( uiloctcd that the con-tubulary nnd the mob eatine itilo conflict at lioiiyiiioitnt, several of the police were severely beaten, some of the assailants were in- j unl. either by the police in self-defence, or by tho iii;ssiles and w,ilpojia of tbeir own party, and (llltl of those (Hum) lias since died of hia wounds. The pulice only did what was neces- sarv to protect iheinselves. The defendant was ordered to be releatlel1 on his own recognisances. —A meeting of a new organi-ation, called the Pro- per. y Defence Association, was held in Dublin on Tuesday evening, when tiie following resolution was carried That a standing committee be appointed to meet weekly, or oftener if nece«>ary, in Dublin, to recei ve information from all persons whether land- lord, tenant, agent, shopkeeper, farm labourer, or other person who shall be aggrieved or molested by the action of the Lund League, and that the com- mi tlee shall inquire into the circumstances of each case, and shall hive power when they deem it expe- dient, to alfoid legal advice and pecuniary aid so far as the funds shall perniit also to demand Government protection and to give such otler atlililltance as shall be necessary.—Mr. Robert Powell writes from Ballin- villa, Castb bar, to Lhe Dublin papers, in which he describes a dastardly outrage which occurred a few day ago on his land, lie says:—"Six sheep (my property) 0 were barbarously and wantonly killed vithin 200 yards oi my house. Four were killed by having some sharp m:iniUwut passed through their eyes into their brain, ti:e oilier two had their necks bruken, and other injuries were viaible."—A black- smith near Ualla, c?nnty Mayo, has refused to do any work for the iocal p' .?anLry, except for a man named Valdenburgii, who has b. un Iioycutted as a "land-grabbtftr." On Tuesday he turned all tho hor,es out of his shop, and nuU he would do no more work except for the person for working for whom he had been threatenid. Tiiemagislerialinquiry into the charge against the executi ve of the Tittles Land League was resumed on Tuesday in the gaol. Several wi-nesst;8 were examined, and one of them, who said he was coerced by the harshness of the Crown Solicitor and others to join the League, was served by the Crown Solicitor with a summons for perjury. The investigation uas further adjourned, I aud bail refused,—At the Mohill Petty Sessions eleven persons have been prosecuted oil a charge of forming part of a riotous assembly which, on Nov. 30, assaulted a "land-grabber named Francis 31-Louglilin, and rescued a prisoner from the legal custody of the constabulary. All the accused I were committed for trial, bail being accepted.

I THE GREEK QUESTION. A correspondent writing from Berlin .on Tuesday night says:-fhe iuiiiour is current in Berlin that the Sultan has decided to give way on the Greek Question, and by no means intends to stick to the letter of the Turkish iNoLe of 'he aId of October. I hear from good oouiceA that Turkey shows signs of acquiescing in Luro^'s demands, and settling the question once for ail in a friendly, spirit. Couiit llatzfeld, the (jerman Ambassador to the Porte, dined alone with the Emperor to-day. This is re- garded as satisfactoiy, ana is considered to prove his .Majesty's appreciation ot the Count's tIforts to lnftlll- tain peace between the two countries.

ALI.EGED INDIAN CONSPIRACY. I ALLEGED INDIAN CON8PIHACY. The Standard Bombay correspondent says that a very serious,occurrence h in taken place at Ivolapore. By a mere accident the existence of a plot in which some thousands of natives tire said to be implicated has been most providentially discovered. The full extent, origin, and real oiiject of t"is conspiracy aro at present a complete mysiery but they involved the diposii ion of tho lvajah ami the massacre of the whole of the European residents wliiIsL iii ciiiii-eli. The dis- covery of the plot wa:- em igetically foilt-wed up, and tweniv-seven natives o: all castes, im luuing among them several Brahmins, have been arrested and will be brought to trial. Further details of the extent of the conspiracy ar-2 anxiously expected, t;.e principal interest turning upon the question whether it is a purely local affair or part of some widespread organi- sation. The Tunc. Bombay corresp<indent says that lli'it the /iont/tui/ Va~eue reports ti-at there were 3,o00 pt r-ons in the plot, yet it was undiscovered for seve- ral weeks. Dat-oities lor the purpose o. raising fun Is It-tl to zArrt-Bts and the dit>c'/verv ot the plot. Twenty- seven persons are now on their trial at Kola- pore. The leader, liambhat, proposed to rein- state the Rajah who was deposed after the mutiny. Kolapore is ne of the native btitteei which represent the lemains of the Mahratta Empire. The Kajaii agaiust whom the conspiracy was directed is a representati ve of tiie youuger branch of the House of Sivnjvo. It is only a small state, with a mixed Mahratta and Citiiarese population of 802,691 souls, distributed over 3,1S4 square miles of territory. It lies to the south of Bombay, and a century since was famous, or rather infamous, as one of the pirate states of the Indian seas. Its piracy brought it into collisiun with the East India Company, and in 1811 the liajah was compelled to cede nis forts, give up his armed vessels, and abstain from all hostilities. In return, his dominions were guaranteed. His misconduct led to renewed intervention, and by another trt-aty con- cluded in 1826 he was reduced to the suboidinate po(iit;on of an English vassal. From 1842 to 1862, Kolapore was under British management, but in the latter year the liajah was allowed to resume the government of the state, subject to the advice of a Resident. Wlien the present Itajah came to the thione in 1872 he WI\< a boy of ten, attending the state vernacular school, and the administration of Kolapore was placed in the hands of a political agent.

THE IiUSSO-TUllCOMAN WAR. The Emperor read a long despatch from General Scobeleff at the close of the weekly review at St. Petersburg on Sunday. The substance was that Colonel Kuroualkine had eliecteu a junction with General Scobeleff's forces at Saa.ursk, a fortified post at a distance from Geok Tepe of :W versts, from which General Scobeleff started to make a recon- naissance and diversion on December 24. General Scobeleff, on January 3, directed three columns to dislodge the Tckkes from a fortified outpost about ten versts east of Geok Tepe. Starting from Samursk, Colonel Kuropatkine commanded the column of attack on the southern side. Arriving near the fort he found it strongly built and pro- tected by a fosse filled with water, requiring him to bring up his artillery. The second column, under Colonel Kozelkoff, made a simultaneous attack on the northern side, whilst General Scobeleff commanded the reserve and inter. mediate column, well provided with artillery. The Tekkes, tinding themselves attacked on two sides, tied towards Geok Tepe. General Scobeleff discharged a raking fire against them during their retreat. Having thus cleared the Tekkes from this outlying position, General Scobeleff during the next two days advanced hit forces almost close to Geok Tepe on the east side, at a distance of :t little more than a mile. He reports that Geok Tope is now be. lieged and invested except on the northern, or desert side, with 8,000 men and .58 pieces of artillery. The Russian casualties are reported to be one killed, 20 wounded. The losses of the Tekkes are said to be "enormous." —

FRANCE, ITALY, AND TUNIS. A telegram frem Rome says the Diritto of Tuesday evening in reproducing the letter from Algiers re- lating to the affairs of Tunis, which was semi-ofii- cially published in Paris on Monday, appends some remarks, the object of which is said to be to prevent all possibility of a misunderstanding. It saya that if intrigues have been carried on at Constantinople with a view to induce the Sultan to interfere in Tunisian affairs, the Italian Government have remained entirely alo f from them, their ideal policy with regard to Tunia being at the present time, as it was in 1865, the maintenance in politii al matters of the status quo. Public opinion in Italy," continues the Diritto, "rejects as unreasonable and dangerous the idlia that Italy should exercise exclusive influence in Tunis, but at the same time it will not for a moment permit France to exercise such iniluence, and still less to establish, an effective piotectoiate, in the Regency."

The death is announced of the Hon. Francis Stonor. Twelve dead sailors belonging to the British ship Lupata, which was lost off the coast of Oregon, have been found on the rocks. A Paris telegram reports that an ollicial assurance has been received there that Russia unreservedly approves the efforts of the Powers to procure the solution of the Greek Question by arbitration. The marriage has taken place at St. Anne's, Soho, London, of Lord Went,worth, grandson of th. putt i Byron, and Mitis Mary Caroline, ddoi.-t daughter 01 the liight Hon. James and Hon. MrB. Stuart- I Woitley. The delegates of unattached students at Oxford have nominated Mr. Frederick S. Wainisick to the first of thu three Exhibitions granted by the Cloth- workers' Company of London, on the lecommonda- tiulll. of the censors. William Jackson lias been sentenced to seven -lays' hard labour, at the Mansion House l'oiicc Court, for defacing l he Temple Bar Memorial. Prisoner had already been in gaol seven days, the per.od oi the' remand. At a conference of the West Lancashire Miners' Association, held at Wigan, it was losOived to try the Compensation Bill foronu year, aud at the end of that time to rescind this reio ution, and reconsider the whole question. A labourer, named Tiiuttle, in the employ of the Great Western Kailw ay Company, has IJCdl "uocked down by ail up train, between iiungerford and Kentbury Stations, atid killed instancy, liis body i was found to have been frightfully mutilated.

THE COLLISION OFF CAPE BOCA. Further intelligence respecting the collision be- tween the British steamer Harelda and the Spanish steamer laoan, which occurred at three a.au, ou Jan. 6, has been received from Lisbon, dated Jan. 12. It appears that the Harelda was almost cut in two, and sunk immediately. Her crew, Tl men in all, got on board the Leon, which also sunk in about 15 minutes, those on board taking to the boats. The men landed at Lisbon are Captain Robert Eilley, Joseph Jacob, Lt:wis Chatell, George Cavaritz, Sperithon Pizy, Edward Svensen, H. A. Anderson, Edward Powel, G. A. Gustafson, of the Harelda, and 14 hands be- longing to the Leon. The remainder of the two crews aru missing, but sume of thtm, amongst whom are two engineers and a carpenter of the Harelda, were in a boat which left the Leon before the one which reached Lisbon in safety. An empty boat was picked up off the mouth of the Tagus, and it is supposed the occupants had been taken on board a passing Bteitmer. The men who reached Lisbon spoke out- side the steamer Irene Morris, bound to Liverpool, which promised to bearch for the other boats. Mr. E. E. Header, the master of the tug Hibernia, which, has arrived off Eastbourne, reports that he spoke the steamer Liddesdale, from the Black Sea for London, off the Ower's Light, on January 11, at 12.30 p.m., f the captain of which reported having 20 men on board from the Leon (Spanish steamer) and the British steamer Harelda, which had been in collision off Cape Roca.

DEPUTATION TO THE PREMIER. i On Wednesday a deputation of Irish members of Parliament, including Sir Thomas M'Clure, Major O'Beirne, Mr. Morris Brooks, Mr. Eugene Collins, Mr. Findlater, Mr. Meidon, Mr. Litton, Mr. Shaw, and Mr. Gabbett, had an interview with the Prime Minister at his official ret-idence in Downing Street, cn the subject of land reform in Ireland. The pro- ceedings were private.—The following memorial was laid before Mr. Gladstone :—" We, the under- signed Irish members of Parliament, desire to re- spectfully approach you with an expression of our hope and confidence that the measure of land reform which her Majesty's Government propose to bring forward may be framed on the pi-in., ciples or fixity of tenure, fair rents, and free sale. We thankfuly observe in the gracious Speech from the Throne, the intention of her Majesty's Govern- ment te give increased facilities to the tenant's of agricu.tural holdings to acquire by purchase a per- manent proprietary interest in the soil. We would respectfully commend to your consideration the sub- ject of the lcclamation of waste land in Ireland, as one means of providing holdings for the people of sume of the more populated districts. In conclusion we would express our conviction, derived from an intimate knowledge of the wants and feelings of tho people, that no measure which does not provide for giving effect to the principles of fixity of tenure, fair rents, and free sale, and facilities for the creation of a peasant proprietary, will operate as a satinfactory settlement of the land question in Ireland." Tue memorial was signed by the following members of Parliament:—Mr. Shaw, Sir Thomas M'Clure, Mr. W. Findlater, Colonel Colthurst, Mr. E. F. Litton, Mr. P. J. Smyth, Mr. J. Richardson, Mr. G. Erringtou, Mr. A. Moore, Mr. T. Lea, Major O'Beirne, Mr. E. Collins, Mr. B. >\ Blennerhassett, Mr. Maurice Brooks, Jlr. D. M. O'Conor, Mr. C. H. Meidon, Sir P. O'Brien, and Mr. Mitchell Henry. The deputation, it is stated, discussed the various points of the subject in a conversational way tor fully two hours, and at the close Mr. Gladstone said he was glad to have had the opportunity of hearing the views of the hon. gentleman who had waited upon him. The Prime Minister added that he hoped he would aot introduce any bill which would be in- effectual.

OUTRAGES IN IRELAND. —— A Parliamentary paper liasiust been issued, giving a return of the outrages reported to the Royal Irish Constabulary Ollicu trom 1st January, 1SH, to 31st December. 1880. The total number of such outrages is 197,782. Of tliebe 19,224 are set down as purely ugraiian, and the rest come under the following de- sanations:—Homicides (murder and iiiitislitugliter), filing at the person, incendiary lircs and arson, firing iiiLouwellings. intimidation (othei wisethan by letter), and threatiumg letters and notices. From 1844, when the Pari}'Procession* Act, As is against un- lawful oaths, secret societies, and an Arms Act were in force, the outrages rose from 6,327 in 1844, to 20,966 in 1847. In the latter year ten Acts relating to the relief of Irish distress, loans, and public works in Ireland were passed, andthe Crime and Outrages Act was also passed. In 1JH8 theoutragesfell to 14,080 in number, ana in that year a Treason Felony Ai t and a Habeas Corpus Suspension Act were passed. The outrages in 1849 numbered 14,908. The Habeas Corpus Suspension Act expired in Sep- tember, 1849, and from that tillle the number of out- rages gradually decreased from 14,908 to 3,881 in 1 j t. No iresh restrictive laws were passed between 1S19 and 1866, when the Habeas Corpus Act (Fenian movement) was passed, and there was a diminution in the year of outrages as compared with the pre- ceding year but in Llif-, folloviii,, year (1867) they r'o again in number. In 1871 the Westmeath Act for putting down the Ribbon Society was passed, and the outrages that year were little more than half what they were in the preceding year. This Act continued in force until June last year. From 1875, wilell the outrages numbered 2,001, there has been a I gradual incroasa of their number up to last year.

———^—————— MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTEli. On Wednesday a deputation of gentlemen from Midlothian waited upon Mr. Gladstone, at liis official residence in Downing Street, for the purpose of call- ing his special attention to a petition in favour of legalising marriage with a deceased wife's sister, which has recently been signed by one-half of the entire residential electorate of that county. The deputation had previously been favoured with an interview with Lhe Lord Advocate, to whom all the details of this movement were explained, and through whose courttsy the main fac s were conveyed to Mr. Gladstone prior to the reception in Downing Street. The Prime Minister, who. during the early part of the day, had been confined to his room suffer- j nig from a slight cold, in receiving the members of the deputation expressed his great pleasure at being able to receive the members of it, and assured them that it ould at all times, when the state of public busi- ness permitted, afford him much gratification to meet J any body of his constituents in reference toquet-tiona in which they were interested. The Secretary hav- ing presented letters from Mr. Charles Cowan, ex- M.P. for Edinburgh, and other leading county elec- tors, who for various reasons were unable to be j present, an address was laid before the right hon. gentleman, a(icompitnied by a request that he would 1: kindly introduce the petition in Parliament and read its prayer in the manner adopted by his H yal Highness the Prince of Wales in 1 eference to a similar petition from Scotland last year. Mr. G ladstone, in the course of his reply, assured the deputation that while in the present state of public business, and especially in lace of the eitoriiictis pressure occasioned by the condition of affairs in Ireland, it would be impossible for him to give any explicit pledge regarding either English or Scotch legislation, which he feared must necessarily suffer. He would do all in his power to promote the object tee deputation had at heart, and would certainly j with much pleasure present the petition in Parlia- ment as they desired. The deputation then with- drew after thanking the right hon. gentleman for his courtesy.

ACTION FOR LLBEL BY AN M.P. On Wednesday, in the Nisi Prius Court, Dublin, before Lord Chief May and a special j ury, the case of Mr. A. M. Sullivan, M.P., against Sir John Arnott, proprietor of the Irish Times, came on for hearing. The action was to recover £ 5,000 damages for aUcgcd libeb published in articles of the 4th and 6lh May, 1S80. Mr. Sullivan explained I thai in the issue of the Irish Times of the 4th May, 188U, the following was published:—" It has been discovered by the Political Committee of the Carl- ton Club that a certain Home Rule member who carried his election, but not at the Inad of the poll, did so by means of money obtained on a bill of exchange endorsed by a member of the Carlton Club and discounted by a Liberal Con- eervative An inquiry has been directed into the circumstauccs of this transaction and that on the 6th of May a f urth-ir paragraph appeared in the same papf r to tt.o same effect. The defendant paid 1;5 into couit. The jury found for the plaintiff for JE45 in addition.

The death of Senator Arrivabene is announced at Rome. Hobart Pasha's appointment to the Presidency of the Turkish Admiralty Board gives him supreme control over the fleet. From April 1 to the 8th inst. the Exchequer re- ceipts amounted to £ 58,568,793, as compared with 456,607,390 in the corresponding period of the pro- I vious twelve months. The 83rd Regiment and the 93rd Highlanders have been oidered to Natal. Prince Aiexan..or of Bulgaria has refused his sane- tion to the new Electoral Bill. Lady Sebright has by no means recovered her health, and will probably have to try Algiers again- The French Consul-General in Eypt has preented the Khedive with the Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honour. j An Orderin Council, relative to the pending judicial changes, has been laid on the tables of both Houses of Parliament. Herr Strassman, a Jew, has been re-elected presi- dent of the Berlin Municipal Council by 97 votea out of a total of 120. j The Rev. Dr. Egan delivered a lecture in New York city, in which he defended the Irish Land League and its leaders. It is stated that the Corrupt Practices Bill, of which Sir Henry James has given noLice, is of a very j tjevel e and drastic character. j A decree signed by the Khedive will be officially I published, prolonging the powers of the International tribunals until February 1, 1882.
