LONDON.
October 18. A proclamation has been issued by the Government in Ireland warning all peaceably disposed citizens to remain in their houses alter dark until further notice. Mr Gladstone is suffering from an attack of influenza. October 19. The Land League has issued a manifesto exhorting the tenants to refuse to pay rent until the Government abandons its terrorism, and restores to the Irish their constitutional rights. Serious disturbances occurred to-day in Dublin, arising out of the excited feeling now prevailing among the masses of that city over the strong measures which are being adopted by the Government for the suppression of tbe League. Large mobs of people gathered to-day in various parts of the city, wrecked several houses, robbed a number of shops, and otherwise committed serious depredations before the Constabulary arrived on the scene of the disturbance. Owing to fears that an attempt may be made on the life of Mr Gladstone, be is now under strict police prntection. The manifesto which was issued yesterday by the Land League was signed by Messrs Parnell, Davitt, and others. The document, in exhorting the tenants to refuse to pay their rent, states that those who may be evicted for bo acting will be supported by American money and need not fear starvation.
