LONDON, December 17.

The situation in Ireland is daily deepening in gloom. Lawlessness is nearly everywhere triumphant, and outrages of all kinds are frequent, such as the prevention of the sale of cattle and produce at fairs, domiciliary visits by masked men at night, and the maiming of cattle, &o. Such acts of aggression are believed generally to arise from privite vengeance or jealousy under cover of political motives, but the state of anarchy and terrorism under which such outrages are possible has been mainly produced by the Land League agitation and the violent speeches of its leaders. There are some signs now that the Land League feels that the popular passions are getting beyond its control, and desires to check them. A recent manifesto from the Dublin central organization to its branches throughout Ireland disavows the outrages, though at the same time it declares that there must be no compromise of partnership with landlordism. The proposals known as fixity of tenure and fair rent sale must be repudiated. The charges of Justices to the Grand Juries in various provinces all depict the anarohial condition of the country in the darkest colors. _ The English papers are full of letters from victims of the Land League, some indignantly protesting against the robbery, tyranny and violence to which they are subjected ; others making touching appeals for help in the extremities to which they have been reduced by the loss of rents’ sale as a source of income. Babin opinion in England is gradually favoring the stern repression of the disorder before the measures of land reform should be introduced. The fresh Cabinet crisis, which occurred this Week owing to the renewal of the demand by Mr Forster for immediate coercive measures, has been again tided over. It is how stated that the Ministry, yielding to Mr Forster’s repeated representations, agreed to include the suspension of the Habe'eis Corpus Act among the coercive measures. As regards the other provisions of the Coercion Bill, they will be regulated by events, and official enquiries will be conducted inalnly by English detective officers. The Land Reform Bill will be presented at the same time as the Coercion Bill, and the Government are now elaborating it. Nevertheless, it is a grave question still whether the state of things between this and the opening of Parliament may not compel the adoption of stronger measures without waiting for Land Reform. The last prominent instance of Boycotting is that of Bruce Jones, owning a large farm near Cork, who is being treated in the same manner as Captain Boycott, and has to be guarded by armed men day and night. A bitter feud exists between M. Qambetta, President of the Chamber of Deputies, and M. Rochefort. M. Gambetta is causing the publication of several letters which are most damaging to Rochefort’s influence. It is stated that the North German Bank have resolved to forward the creation of a shipping line from Hamburgh, via the Cape, to Australia, It is reckoned that the voyage will take six weeks via England or Antwerp, Capetown, Port Elizabeth, to Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney. The Germans are plainly \ thinking seriously of the good they can draw from Australia, one proof of which is the zeal with which they have sought to recommend their wares to the antipodes through the medium of the Melbourne Exhibition. In the Imperial Budget last year 300,000 marks were voted to assist national compa-i tition, and that sum being found inadequate; by about 200,000 marks, the deficit is to be made up, and 35,000 marks more' are now demanded in the Budget of 1881. The Czar has returned from Livadia to StJ Petersburg!!, and there are renewed rumors of bis intention to virtually abdicate. Trickett was hopelessly beaten in the second race with Ross. In the first race the latter claimed a foul, which the umpire disallowed. But Trickett won by so many lengths that he was quite a favorite at starting. Trickett seemed for from well, and, although he struggled hard for victory, Roes won easily by several lengths. The race caused but little excitement, and there were very few spectators. Laycock has lately been visiting some friends in Northumberland, where he was much petted. He appears to have acquired groat proficiency in pigeon shooting. A dispatch from Earl Granville to the United States Minister in London relative to the Fortune Bay fishery, says that the Government have no hesitation in admitting that the conduct of the Newfoundland fishermen in violently interfering with the United States fishermen was quite undefonsible and much to bo regretted ; but at the samo time his opinion is that the clause of the Treaty of Washington means that American and British fishermen may fish on terms of equality. Earl Granville says that her Majesty’s Government fully recognises that it is desirable to arrive at a friendly and speedy settlement of the question, and therefore ia quite willing to indemnify American]fiabermen tor the losses in respect of which they are reasonably entitled to compensation. BOMBAY, December 30.

The Viceroy’s health is continuing to improve. The last bulletin states that he is quite free from fever, and would be able to leave Allahabad shortly for Calcutta. The statement in the London “ Times" to the effect that the Viceroy had resigned caused a feeling of excitement throughout India, and though it was promptly contradicted in Allahabad it served to bring out an expression of universal regret at his supposed resignation, both from European and Native papers.

The new Governor of Madras arrived on tho 29th inst., and was duly installed. She Duke of Buckingham left for England the same day. The news from Herat shows that Ayoub Khan is overcoming the difficulties which lately beset him, as it is stated that his father-in-law has been taken prisoner, which, if true, shows that the chief menace of Ayoub s opposition at Herat is removed. _ Colonel Malcolm Major Currie, of the 2nd Horse, will bo tried by Court Martial for his conduct at the Maivord disaster.
