AMENDMENTS MADE 'To tHE, DIED. %.
A last (Friday). night'_s London cable
o In the--11-60eitrEorl thip evening,
on motion to consider the. House of Com-
mons amendments to the Land Bill, the
Duke of Argyll warned the House that the
Bill in its present forra was an immense
•eve opmen o • e e a 's one andAct of
1831, and one that in thefuture would lead
to the developmeot of some defection: The
Bill, he deolared, would foster among the.
!fishnet industry, but laziness, making
tenantp more unthrifty. It would give
tenants the privilege of reguletingrente to
ouch an'extent as to enable them.. however
hzy or. ignorant, to remain, on their hold-
ings. The Bill was a violation of recognized
troths. ,If political reasons forced the
House to accept some of the amendments
gohe hoped that tlie members would have the
• courage to reject others which simply pro-
• posed the robbery of landowners.
Earl Granville- admitted that the Bill
was imperfect, but it was a compromise
.. measure and the best obtainable under the
circumstances, and it was therefore ridvii-
' Able that the .House approve it; Nothing
7 Imola be gained by discussing, the Bill on
ilbetraot economic principles:
Lord, Salisbury said he felt the justice of
the Duke of Argyll's, criticism. The BilI
was undoubtedly a consequence of the
Liberal Government's land legislation, in
which a departure was made from the
prinaple gf. freedom of contract. But it-
. was only a temporary Measure; preceding
' larger proposals, by means ' of which the
Government would try to mitigate the evile

had not accepted the amendmentswithout

of their rejection would be. The abandon-

responsibility.. Therefore he urged the
House.to recognize' the difficulties of the
position and decide to the arnendments,
Lord Selborne (Liberal)said -he-thought
the Govermrient wtould have been unwise
to throw up the Bill. He would rather.

Baron ,Howth, Liberal, , said that •the
Government appeared to entertain the idea
that they should reduce the Value of land,
in Ireland as ,ifirieh aspossible before pro-

• The Earl of Donn* proposed to

publication of such information would mul-
tiply discontent and encourage agitation. .•

article on "The Broadening of Dissent,"
Mr. Spurgeon Fwrites: "A new religion
-has been initiated which is no more like
Christianity than chalk is like Cheese. A
religion, destitute of moral . himesty,palms
itielleff-as the old faith , with Alight in3-
.proveregote, and On thie plea usurps pul-

cleis aimed at the preaching of the 'Con-

York's growth is about 60,000. But in the
ten years between 1870 and 1880 the average
annual addition to our city population was
