Address by Lord Salisbury. European and Irish Affairs. London, March 6.

At a banquet at the National Conservative Club last night the Marquis of Salisbury de livered a speech, in which he dwelt at some length on the aspect of affairs in Europe. He declared that tne outlook had recently much improved, and in epite'df the increased armaments which are being carried on by Continental Powers, tho prospects of peace wore greater than had been the case for some time. The retirement of Sir M. Hicks-Beach, he considered, would be a disaster to the country and tho Cabinet He hoped, however, that his retirement wfl3 only temporary. Referring to Ireland, he stated that the delay in passing new rules for Parliamentary procedure impeded the in troductioo of measures for dealing with that country. The main difficulty with regard to Ireland was the breakdown of the jury system, which it would be necessary to remedy or abolish. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, Secretary for Ireland, has resigned that appointment, He is suffering from a cataract. Mr Arthur Balfour, Secretary for Scotland, has been appointed to succeed him.
