IRISH AFFAIRS.
London, April 5. Earl Spencer, speaking at Skipton, stigmatised the Irish Land Purchase Bill as costly, cumbrous, and unworkable. Lord Randolph Churchill has published a letter in the Morning Post on the same' ■ subjTCT, denouncing it as monstrous to force the measure on an unwilling peopie. He was certain that the repayment of the : advances would be repudiated. He declares that if it passes into law it will involve the loss of £20,000,000, while the loss entailed tinder Lord Ashbourne's Act, 1888, 1 would be only £9,000,000. He considers the security to be given unworthy of least, and that the: scheme of Mr Gladstone is much superior to the proposal under consideration.. ! In the course of a speech Sir J. Esmonds, one of the Irish delegates to the colonies, said that the Melbourne Argus and Age were the only papers in Australia opposed to Home Rule for Ireland.
