The Rothchilds told Mr Dibbs that the conversion of Australian loans would be practicable in the near future. They condemned the frequent issue of small loans, believing an occasional ten million loan would be preferable. The following motions are to be proposed at the Ulster Convention : — By Sir William E wart— That Ulster adhere to the privilege of the Kingdom and Pailiament. ByDr Lynch— That Ulster will not accept the autonomy of Ireland if it is to be controlled by men responsible for crime and dishonesty, who are also the instruments of the Roman Catholic clergy. A third resolution will be — That dis-order and bloodshed will be the result of the attempt of an Irish Parliament to govern Ulster. A fourth is— That resistance to an Irish Parliament is not a mere side issue. The fifth is an appeal to the Liberals to abandon Home Rule. Messrs Gladstone and Morely and the' Liberal Press have praised the moderation of the Convention. The Daily Chronicle considers it would be folly to ignore the protest of the Convention, and suggests that Ulster should be exempted from the Home Rule, scheme. The Daily News view* the Convention as the customery bluster of the opponents of Home Rule, merely proving the assertive power of a minority. The Times says that' it is a delusion to suppose the Convention is merely an Orange Lodge movement, and that it would be criminal folly to disregard the earnestness of the Ulstermen. In response to Mr Gladstone's denial that the Irish Nonconformist ministers were averse to. Home Rule, a list is published containing 864 signatures of these ministers opposed to the cheme. Many Gladstoniana were present at the opening of the Ulster Convention. They confess they were surprised at the depth of the antipathy to Home Rule shown by the people of Ulster. Mr Dibbs, Premier of ftew South Wales, has been commanded to attend an evening party on Thursday at Buckingham Palace. This is equivalent to placing him on a footing with those entitled to the entree at Court.
