[Br Tbikgbaph.] [Per b.b. Tararua, via Auckland.] LONDON, March 8. Earl Beaconsfield has advised Her Majesty the Queen to dissolve Parliament at Easter. The fact that this advice had been tendered has been formally announced in both Houses of Parliament. The Liberals expressed themselves satisfied, and in the House of Commons the announcement was warmly cheered by them. The dissolution will take place on March 23rd. Earl Beaconsfield has addressed an important communication to the Lord-Lieaten-ant of Ireland, the Duke of Marlborough, which has been published, and is regarded as a manifesto of the Government. In this the Premier treats chiefly of the relations between England and Ireland, and the policy and tactics of the Home Rule party. He claims that the action of the Government has had the effect of defeating the aims of the Irish agitation, both in and omt of Parliament. He lays stress on the promptitude with which the Government took steps to afford relief to the sufferers from the famine in Ireland, and insists that the interests of England and Ireland are inseparably connected with each other, and any disunion must be calamitous to both. He also expresses the hope that the leaders of both the great parties will repudiate the vicious and absurd claims put forth by the Home Bulers, against whom he would warn the people of Great Britain and Ireland, as being actuated by a desire to destroy the essential bond of unity that should exist. The Premier also challenges an opinion of the country on the policy and administration of his Government, and holds that the presence and perhaps the ascendancy of England in the great Councils of Europe is essential to the preservation of peace, and this ascendancy he points out can only be acquired by unity amongst her own people.
