LONDON
January 19
The severe weather which has prevailed throughout England during the past few days has abated, and it is now much finer and milder generally. A luncheon was held on board the steamer Metikara to-day to celebrate the opening of a new line of direct steamers between England and Queensland. There was a large company present, including Mr A. Macalister (Agent-General for Queensland), Mr Stanton,- and other leading colonists. Botb the gentlemen named made speeches on the occasion, and expressed their full confidence that the line of steamers, in addition to other benefits, would materially assist the development of the trade in fresh meat between the colonies and England.
The measures taken by the Government to suppress the existing agitation in Ireland have led to summonses being issued for tie arrest of sixty Land Leaguers, all of whom will be placed on their trial for sedition.
