[Per s.b. Arawata at the Bluff.] LONDON, October 21. The Government had information of a dangerous outbreak in Ireland, which fully justified the precautionary measures of the Government in Limerick, which is now garrisoned by a very large force. The magistrates in oonvioting the rioters at the police couit, warned the people that the constabulary would henceforth fire ball cartridges when attacked by the population. Archbishop Oroke. of Cassol, hitherto a staunch partisan of the League, has written a letter declaring that the League's manifesto filled him with dismay. Ue protests energetically against the doctrine of nonpayment of rent, even though but for a certain specified time. He maintains that the original platform of the League, demanding fair rents and the amelioration of the condition of the agricultural olasses in Ireland, was sufficient, and condemns the now polioy of the League, which he believes oan only lead to disintegration. This letter is expected to produce a great effeot in inducing many priests and their flocks to give the Land Act a fair trial and disregard the terrorism of the League. Some signs are already apparent that the vigorous action of the Government is beginning to cause a division in the Leaguo ranks, and dispose the tenants to more prudent councils. The Land Court was opened in Dublin yesterday by Commisaioner Lytton, Oommissioner Vernon, and Mr Justice O'Hagan. The latter read an address, stating that it was resolved to render the procedure as free as possible from technicalities, and the sole fee chargeable by the Court would be Id eaoh for an originating notice and Id each for the application. The action taken by the Government in Ireland towards the League leaders has been heartily approved by an overwhelming majority at a public meeting, and generally applauded by Continental and Amerioan opinion. The Government will now have over 50,000 troops of all arms massed in Ireland, and several other regiments are under notice that they may bo required. The Turkish Special Commission has been recalled from Egypt after a very short stay, in consequence, it is believed, of the representations of England and France to the Porte against any interference by the Turkish Government with Egypt, as being liable to weaken the authority of the Khedive or Anglo-Frenoh control. Xhe entente cordiale between Italy, Austria, and Germany haa given great umbrage at Paris, but since the events in Tunis Italy is deeply resentful against France and ostentatiously cordial towards Austria. A special mission, beaded by Lord Northampton, invested the King of Spain with the Order of the Garter at Madrid. The speeches exchanged on the occasion were marked by great oordiality, and the ceremony is regarded by the English press as visible proof of the increasing friendliness of England and Spain. The Pope received 10,000 pilgrims at St. Peter's on the 16th. The ceremony was splendid and impressive. The Pope, who was surrounded by Cardinals, oocupied the Pontifical throne and blessed the pilgrims with great fervor. He delivered an address, which is described by Borne correspondents as being marked by intense earnestness. He condemned the Italian agitation for a repeal of the laws for the papal guarantee, and the insults of the Italian press. He exhorted Catholics everywhere in these troublous times to unite and form an association, and encouraged them to assist each other, and thus stem the rising tide of irreligion immediately. BOMBAY, November*. The deaths in TJmritzur from the recent epidemio amount to 9000. Indian gold mining shares remain quite neglected, owing to the absence of favorable results from the present operations.
