The death is announced to-day, after a lingering illness, of Thomas Carlyle, the eminent author, aged 85. News to hand from Ireland during the past few weeks shows that agrarian outrages have now almost entirely ceased. This is attributed mainly to tbe prompt measures which have been taken by the Government for suppressing disorder.
further news from Sierra Leone confirms the telegram to hand yesterday regarding the probability of an outbreak of war in the colony. It ij- now announced that the King of Ashantee demands that a refugee chief, who has placed himself under British protection in the colony, should be surrendered. Pir Samuel Rowe, the Governor of Sierre Leone, has refused the demand, and hence the threatened attack on the colony by the Ashantees. February 7 Public meetings have been held in Lopdon, and in several provincial towns, at which resolutions have been passed denouncing the Irish Coercion Bill now before Parliament. In addition to the complete cessation of outrages in Ireland, there are now signs that the Irish tenants are giving way to the landlords, and will resume the payment of rent for their holdings.
