The Rev Hugh Hannah, D.C., Presbyterian Minister, St Enoch’s Church, Belfast, preached a sermon on the evening of the 13th.

The people of the North have effective means of resistance, but the time has not yet come to employ them. The humblest of the seven victims who succumbed last Wednesday under the murderous fire of Morley’a militia presented a higher and nobler type of I character than does Morley.” The Catholic clergy of Belfast, on the 13th, congratulated their people on their I patience and forbearance under provoking I circumstances, and urged them to continue
0 keep ibe peace. Mrs Dudley, the woman who shot Donovan Rossa in February, 1885 haa_ been sent to England from the naane • Asylum at Auburn Permission for her to go home had been obtained for some time, but her departure was delayed for want of means until an unknown friend said to bo of social prominence end rank in Eng’and came forward and furnished them.

Without losing a moment, IJbegyou either to publicity except me from your assertion that one >ear ago all the Liberals held Bylands opinions, or to give proof of wl at you say. Never since the Home Buie struggle was started, fifteen years ago, have I ever condemned it in principle, or held in any way the opinions of Bylands, which, to say frankly, are absurd.” The Marquis of Salisbury made a speech at Leeds on June 18th, before nearly 5000 persons, in which he ridiculed Mr Gladstone and his plan of Home Buie, and defended coercion. “We may say criminal law is coercion. If Mr Gladstone is opposed to it, we must presume that ho sympathises with criminals against whom all efforts have been made. (Cheers) Our coercu n, which he denounces, was directed against robbery, murder, mutilation, terrorism, and a system of organised intimidation which made life bitter to thousands of innocent persons. If Protestants have shown their deep enthralling interest in the | matter, it is because the}' know by experiience (that their dearest interests are involved. They know they will have an undying recollection of their long hereditary feuds.

No Irish Parliament can be so powerful or just as an united Imperial Parliament st Westminister. I cannot entrust the peace and interest of Ireland, North or South to the Irish Parliamentary parly to whom the Government now proposes to make the general English elections surrender. My six years experience of them and their language in the House ofjOommons, and their dee dal n Ireland, make it impossible for me to hand over to them the prosperity and tights of 5,030,000 of the Queen’s subjects—our countecymen in Ireland.” On bis way to Glasgow on Jane 10th, Mr Joseph Chamberlain stopped at Preston, in Lancashire, where a large crowd jeered and hooted him.

Lord Randolph Churchill, speaking at Paddington on 27th June, defended his election address as £: Gospel truth.” Mr Gladstone’s scheme, he said, : “ placed government in the hands of Catholics. The
Celtic peaaanty were under the control of American adventur- r , and an unscrupulous fanatical priesthood. He had nothing to say to the American dynamite and dagger faction bat to offer an English challenge. Our prisons are large; rope Is cheap, and we have plenty ef amateur hangmen, Ee declared that the first victim of dynim t > or dagger would have scores of avengers. When the first Englishman falls the lives and persons of the dynamiters and their allies will be placed at the mercy of an angry and outrage people. ” At a mass meeting of Fenians in New York on June 24th, O’Donovan Rossa used the following language :—“lf the Irishmen want Ireland to be free they must fight; every Englishman who goes Into Ireland for the purpose of governing should be slain. One thousand Irishmen can be got any day to g > ln*o the heart of London and lay that city In ashes ” A most desperate elctoral struggle between a Gladetomte and a Unionist ended
