Lords Cairns and Salisbury are rival candidates for the leadership of the Opposition,rendered temporarily vacant by the illness of Earl Beaconsfield. It is rumored Lord Salisbury’s chances have been endangered by secret pledges given M. Waddington, the French Minister for Foreign Affairs with regard to the Tunis difficulty, which might possibly compromise England.
The “ Pall Mall Gazette,” commenting on the determination of Mr Patterson, the Victorian Minister for Railways, to surrender all the patronage of the Department expresses the opinion that such action was perfectly consistent with the democratic institution of the colony, and that party control of the department was calculated to endanger popular rule. An Australian spiritualistic medium, named Fletcher has been sentenced to a year’s imprisonment for imposition. Mr Dillon, member for Tipperary, delivered a speech strongly condemning the Irish Land Bill of Government, and counselled the Irish members to oppose its passing.
