Tbe Indian Princes have'intimated their intention of sending £88,000 to Mr Dadabhai Naoroji, the Parses, who was elected for Finsbury, for the purpose of ereeting a memorial in honour of his victory.

Gladstone Liberals — England, 196; Wales, 28; Scotland, 51. Total, 275. Nationalists -England, 1 ; Ireland, 71. Total, 72. Parnellites— lreland, 9. This gives, Liberals and Irish Home Rulers, 856 ; Conservatives and Liberal-Unionists, 814. Majority for Mr Gladstone, 42. The representative of South Tipperary is reckoned in this calculation as a Nationalist, and the member for Orkney as a Gladstone Liberal. The Times says the opponents of Home Rule are determined that there shall be another appeal to the country before Home Rule is allowed. The Daily Telegraph says the new Ministry will include Mr John Morley as Chief Secretary for Ireland, and possibly Lord Carrington as Viceroy of Ireland ; Earl Kimberley as Secretary for India, Sir W. V. Harcourt as Home Secretary, Sir Charles Russell as Attorney-General, and Mr Labouchere as Pestmaster-Gen< eral. Mr Mandeville, Nationalist, has been elected for South Tipperary, Mr Justin McCarthy retains the leadership of the anti-Parnellites. Mr Labouchere in Truth advises Mr Gladstone to postpone the Home Rule question until the Parish Council has adopted, the principle of the one man one vote and a reduction is made in the term of residence necessary for qualification ; also until permiseion is given for members to be paid their election expenses and local option has passed — as they would then be able to defy the House of Lords.

The man Neill was charged at Bow street with the murder of the women Claver. Similar evidence was given to that at the inquests.

The Sultan of Morocco at the last moment refused to sign the Treaty arranged by the British Kepresentatives, giving equal advantage to all nations, and offered the Commissioner (Sir Charles-Evan Smith) a bribe of £30,000 to sign a Treaty on the Sultan's own lines. The refusal is attributed to French intrigue. Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy, and Belgium supported England.

In consequence of the Sultan's refusal to sign, the British Mission has been recalled.

Paris newspapers are jubilant, and admit that the rebuff administered to England by the Sultan of Morocco is due to the action of France.

Russia is urging Spain to join France, and prevent reprisals on the part of England.

French cruisers have been sent to Morocco.
