A mass meeting was held on Saturday evening in support of Mr Gladstone’s scheme, Sir Bryan o‘Loughlin, Bart., being in the chair. The attendance numbered fully five thousand, including several clergy. Resolutions were passed thanking Mr Gladstone for his efforts to procure Home Rule for Ireland, and sympathising with him in the rejection of his proposals.
Mr Gladstone's Manifesto. London, June 11,
Mr Gladstone has issued a manifesto to the electors of Midlothian, in which he urges that the only policies to bo pursued in regard to Ireland are in the direction of an autonomous government of that country, and measures of coercion for the repression of outrages. He urged that the former will strengthen the Union, tend to extinguish feuds, develop the resources of Ireland, redeem the honor of Great Britain, and remove the reproach of the civilised world.
Further Rioting. Serious rioting has taken place in Sligo, between Catholics and .Protestants. The former were the aggressors. The dwellings of Protestants have been wrecked, and shops sacked. The disturbance is of so serious a character that the military are called out to quell the outbreak. A further outbreak is feared, and reinforcements of troops have been despatched to the scene.
