BRITISH AND FOREIGN. London, June 17. Recent intelligence from Ireland reports that the disorder in that conntry has somewhat abated, the riots between the peasantry and police having greatly subsided. The authorities, however, continue to take steps to prevent all assemblies of the people on occasions of sales, and at scenes of eviction of tenants. News has been received that an accident has happened to a boat of H.M.S. Monarch, turret-ship, one of the Mediterranean squadron, while at torpedo practice. One officer was killed and several seamen severely wounded. Paris, June 17. Telegrams are to hand from Marseilles, announcing that an extraordinary disturbance occurred there to-day. Several regiments of French troops, who had just returned from Tunis, were marching through the town, and on passing a building occupied by the Italian Club, they were hissed from the window by some of the members. There was a large number of people in the street at the time, and the action of the Italians greatly incensed them. They angrily demanded that the Italian escutcheon should be removed from the club, and a great scene of disorder ensued. The Prefect arrived on the scene, and endeavoured to calm the mob, protesting against any violence ; but, despite this protest, the DeputyMayor of the town, who was present, took the lead of the crowd, and, ascending a ladder, tore clown the escutcheon with his own hands. Order was then restored. News of the occurrence has caused much excitement. LATEST AUSTRALIAN NEWS. Melbourne, June 20. The Hon.
