By Tul^sraph—PreEß Asssito-tior,—Couy i r!«W tendon, Marsh 20. Sir Edward Carson .received an cutlmsiastic rcceiitieu on his arrival at Belfast, after his dramatic exit frbsii the House of Commons at the close of tire censure debate. He was welcomed with a iusilade o? revolver shots, and proceeded to Chrrigavon escorted by a bodyguard of SiGO volunteers. A parade of Nationalist volunteers lias been arriiiiged in Londonderry [or Sunday. Two hundred of the Cornwall Eegiment have arrived at Newry. Tho Ulster leaders are ■ conferring. Sir Edward Carson, fe a oiattifesto, appeals to his faHowers to m-.ainta.iii calm and peace. There is night-tea* activity at Belfast hoadquarters. Stafes aad documents have been reujoveil to- an uuhnown destination. Troops* have, arrived- at Oroagh, and detachments froiu other part? or Ireland have reinferced the Enn-isldtlSvi Guards at the Curragh Camp, and at Newbridge Barracks, mar this Cw.rragh Camp, ' while the garrisons of somo of the Dublin barracks huvo been deubted.

. Two wurshigs have a-rrived at, Dublin. Bay.

Eight hundred Utsto-r volunteers were mobilised at Belfest oft Thursday night, and guarded the leaders' residences. Unionists and Orangemen in LaJirashiro have sent Sir Edward Carson' many encouraging telegrams.

Colonel Seely declares that .ap : propn* ato measures have been taken jo deal with' tho officers resigning their commands. .

Mr.' Asquith believes'that tie Government has succeeded in limiting the area of resignations. The "Morning Post'' declares thai tho 'Unionists must insist On tho reinstatement of- tho officers without lass of seniority.

Tho movement of tho troops is regarded iu. Homo Unionist siirctej as foreshadowing an attempt to disMin tho volunteers. It is stated that the .poliw havo planned a simultaneous raid for arms in various districts- a-ntl that the military havo been stationed at {ventres convenient for d&yliu.g with any resistance to the raids. On the other hand, the denuding of .Bolfast or its trao-pa, and their concentration ivith War material lit Holy-; wood, is interpreted as•»'-convenient | move, it being caisicr to defend the stores there against possible- votantcer raids than in crowded Belfast, where twenty-seven thousand tilstor volunteers aro enrolled.

Homo Eulo would bs f! comparatively simp's matter if it. ware ssol fut Olslisf. The fniai-K'ia! provisions of the Bill are, in tha- opinion of many, npen In vci? scrioos criticism, as by them- Trphijid ■pays nothing whatever towards lh« eo4 cf the irmy, Navy, and of Her Imperial jerrices, while the British topayer cen-

tinuca io pledge his credit (or the pur-1 chase of Irish la-ud. Nevertheless, there] is little doubt that these conditions would ' be willingly nccsfltfd by niost pwplc, and that the H.cthid Jhile question would soon ' U settled' but for the Ulster difficulty. Ulster _ consiiife of nine ■counties, four of which—Antrim, Armagh, Do-wii, and Deny-are almost wholly Protestant; in the remaining five the Roman Catholics have a, Majority, it returns now 33 members to Parliament—l 7 Nationalists and 1G Unionists, In population, according to the census of 10H. is l,SSt,fii!B, and of these, 09M10, or 43.7 pi>r cent., are Koiaaa Catholics, and 83fi,!)jm, er 52.$ per cent., are Prot&stafits. The are ciassml as miscellaneous, Practically, it . amounts to this, that Ulster js. divided fairly evenly between the two, and this fact makes it the battleground of the Bill.

Attempts have been made to overcome the difficulty bv cselmliug Ulster from tlio operation of the Bill, and this has taken twt? forms.-f-lh.e- exclusion of the whole province, and., alternatively, the exclusion of the four counties in the north-east. The latter proposal is dis* liked by same- Unionists, because they regard it as a desertion of th> felloffPi'otestants in the rest of Ulster, but it is regarded hy others as perhaps the most satisfactory solution of a difficult problem. In June, li).l*, an amendment to exclude the (nut counties was proposed by a Literal, Mr. Agar-Eobwles. but was defeated r and on tfamuarv 1, 19J3, a -similar fate attended Sir Edward Carson's motion to exclude the whole- of Ulster, . I'mtal by tire imminence- Of the passing of the Ml and the rejection of their amendments, ilia Protestants of Ulster, led _by Sir F4«wrt Carson, have tuvned their thoughts towa.rds preparing t» resist Home Rulo by force. It is hardly lrewssiwy to say that this is a most serious proceeding, and one only to bo taken by civilised. men as a very test resort, It is tlw appeal to the final court Ulster-IV.-BU admit tlvis as readily as any. I'hc-y assert that they will, ijit bo excluded h'om rnpw.M-Htatioii hi the Imperial Parliiutient, that they have given full notice pf their rim\% and that the respfinsi-b-Hj.tx lies, slot with then.t, but with thoso who have flouted their deepest feelings. For se-n-io time past, a? is well known, ntptj have bgen driliiiig, and various re^' views and demonstrations of a military nature hsive taken place. ,A.n Ulster volunteer force has been established, and : tins is now said to number Utb'dQD men. Just after Hie passage of the Bill in June, as a prelude to tnove serious siens, the , Ulstr Unionist ip,fenj'befs of Parlshmcnt luade a tour tl.ir&>'. : t»h the cities of Oireat Britain, mid Sir Edward Cofsou spate at : Glasgow, UdiiVbHrgh, Leeds.
