[reuter’s telegrams.] LONDON, July 2. The Irish Land QuestionIn the House of Lords last night, a lengthy debate took place on the subject of the report of the Commission appointed at the instance of Earl Deegborough to enquire into the Irish land question, which had recently been tabled. The Duke of Argyle characterised the report as one-sided and altogether unreliable, and censured its recommendation in warm terms. Earl Granville condemned the discussion of the report at the present junction, and said he feared the tone of the debate which had taken place was a bad augury for the fate of the Irish Land Bill when it reached the House of Lords. The Homeward MailsThe homeward Australian and New Zealand mails, which left Auckland on May 24th, were delivered here to-day. VIENNA, July 2.
