LATE CABLE NEWS.

London, March 8. Earl Beaconsfield ' has advised Her Majesty the Queen to dissolve Parliament at Easter. The fact that this advice had been tendered, has been formerly announced in both Houses of Parliament. The Liberals expresse 1 themselves satisfied, and in the House of Commons the announcement was warmly cheered by them. The dissolution will take place on March 23rd. Earl Beaconsfield has addressed an important communication to the Lieutenant of Ireland, die Duke of Marlborough, which has been published, and is regarded as a manifesto of the Government, In this the Premier treats chiefly of the relations oetween England and Ireland, and the policy and tactics of the Home Rule party. Ho claims that the action ot the Government has had the effect of defeating tie aims of the Irish agitation, both in and out of Parliament. He lays stress on the pvoTinv'odo with which the Government took steps to afford relief to th sufferers from the famine in Ireland and ins'sts ’bat the inte< - ests of England and Ireland are inseparab y connected with each other, and any disunion must be calamitous to both. He also ,CXnresses the hope that the leaders of both the rreat parties will repud i ate the vicious and absurd claims put forth by the Home Riders, against -whom ho would warn the people of G:’eat Britain and Ireland, as being actuated by a desire to destroy the essential bond of unity that should exist. The Prem 1 r dlso challenges an opinion of the country on the policy and admin Is Irak’ oll his 'Government, ; and ■ holds that the presence and perhaps the ascendancy of England in the Great Councils of Europe is essential to the preservation of peace, and this ascendency ho points out can only be acquired '-J unity amongst her own people.
