THE IRISH. . A DEFP IMPRESSION PRODUCED. Soecial Cadle. Loxpox, Jan, 29.—A deep impression was produced in the House and throughout the countrs by Mr. TForster's speech on Monday, when moving for leave to intro- duce the bill to protect persons and property in lreland, which Mr. Forster says is improp- erly called & Coercion bill. Mr. Bright says it is & bill for the coerciou of the few and of mercy to the many. Mr. Forster produced a ‘marked effect also by his pathetie expression of - regret at the necessity for asking excep- tional powers trown Parliament, and by his declaration that the Ministers could only ac- cent the continued responsibility of govern- ing Ireland on condition that Parliament armed them against the situation. The pro- posed bill . AUTHORIZING ARRESTS, under the Lord-Lieutenant’s warrant, he ex- plined, does practically, though not in terus, suspend the Habeas Corpus act. No- ‘body anticipated that Mr. Forster’s case was sostrong and convincing. The speech was followed by cordial adhesion from the Liberal press -without exception in every part of the country, and it has silerced what remained of opposition awong the English Liberals. The speech likewise en- couraged the Irish Liberals in opposinz Mr. Parnell, and dismayed momentarily the Bome-Rulers themselves. JOUN BRIGHT'S SPEECH on Thursday was a.fresh blow to Irish schemes. The Home-Rulers and their En- glish allies since the meetine of Parlia- ment had been taunting the Government with Ar. Bright's silence, affirming that thero was o bearty sympathy on this question between i and bis colleagues, and asserting that he Temained in the Cabinet only on condition gx:t e would not e asked to support coer- n. STMPATHY FOR GLADSTONE. The badgering to which Mr. Gladstone is £xposed, combined with the uncertain state f his health, has provoked many expressions of sFmpathy from Liberals all over the country. He has authorized & contradiction of the report that he meditates retirement to the House of Lords, but nothing is more certain than * that becannot possibly” stand the strain of all- blght sesclons and incessant feuds with the meinbers, The Premier, yielding after mueh persuasion to the representations of bis friends, has promised to Huwit his attend- \nce at the House of Commions to rensona- 2l hours, and thus leave a larxer share of TOE LEADERSHIP 1o the Marquis of Hartington or Mr, Cham- berlain. . The Irish members feel confident of their ity to prevent the Coercion, bills from everbecoming law, and one of their most Promivent” Jeaders says that nothing wiil s dngse“ them to modify their opposi- E"n,— meither promises nor threats.” el - if the much-talked-of and *elied-on cloture should be introduced, they | Hesatisfied of their ability to protect the glfleusalons Justas long as they pleass. The mls wust pass through the Committee of the ole, and there it is slmost tmpossible to e Testriction on the freedom of speech. COAXING PAPNELL. Ar. Bright, as well s Alr.

Dusriy, Jan. 29.—It is not a figure of Speech to say that Ireland has, been sblaze for the last few days, rejoicing at the result of the -oState - trinls, “Parnell . is free” is emblazuned on a thousand banners in the townsand vil- lages to which the League has extended its operations. Bonfiresareburned on every hill- sh_le. The popular demonstration has passed without particular disturbance, though thers have beenInstances where the Constabulary, Wwith wistaken zeal, mterfered. When bonfires were erected in the market-place, and dispiays of fireworks were attempred in the-strects. In Dublin a mob broke the win- dows of- one of the jurors suspected of hay- ing'voted wrainst nequittal. This is the soli- tary exceptional disturbance of the peace. 1T 1S THOUGHT HERE that we have heard the lust of the trials. It is wenerally adiwitted that they have beena mistake, and have only had the effect of making the principles of the League wmore thoroughly known and understood than before throughout Ireland, Scotland, and England. What effect coerclon will have it is difficult to foresee. No one unagines that the people wiil rise in re- bellion against it, for then the work. of the Govermmment would be easy endugh. Nor is auy opponent of the movement sanguine enough to suppose that the League, with its strength and its firm foundation in the sym- pathies of the people, i3 about to die a sud- den death under the blast of coercion. THE COERCION BILL. To the Western Arsociated Press. Loxpox, Jan. 20.—The bill for the protec- tion of life and property in Ireland ‘is pub- (lished. The substance is already 1bade known from Mr. Forster’s opening state- wment in the House ¢f Commons, except the third section, the first clause ot which pro- vides that the Iist of persons imprisoned uu- der the act, with a statement. of the réason for their arrest, shall be presented to Parlia- went mopthly. TN ‘THE TOUSE OF COMMONS, Mr. Gladstone, answering the accusation that the Protection bill aimed atthe Land League, pointed out that nobody could be arrested under its provisions unless he came within the stringent definition of being under rea- sonable suspiclon of being copnected with an act in a proclaimed district tending to inter- fere with the maintenance of law and order. The reasonableness of sueh suspicion could be chatlenged In the House. The Govern- ment had no iuntention of interfering with the liberty of discussion, or even the license of discussion. * ‘Fhe Home-Rulers have determined that it would be admissible on the first stage of the Protection bill that each member shouid ad- dress the Xouse of Commons end state the character of the outrages reported in the Biue Book from his constituency. FROM PARNELL. HIS TELEGRAM TO THE “ JRISI WORLD,” Loxpoy, Jan. 26.—The Land League has scored a victory. The ten-to-two disagree- ment of the juryin face of the tremendous pressure of the Court is everywhere accepted as having the force of an acquittsl, and isa virtual protestagainst the Government’s pro- posed Boercion bills. Of the violent and indecent charge made by Judge Fitzgerald I shall say nothing. The bublication of the churge is its condem- nation. = The Irish party sre doing their work well. 1 am entirely satisfied with them. The ae- bate on the address to the Queen, which was prolonged for a fortnight, proved their en- durance and fidelity. No other debate in Parliament has ever before lasted more than four or five days. < GLADSTONE’S MINISTRY, in whieh the afistocratic element has gained the ascendant, are exasperated at the firm- ness showa by us. They had hoped to ex- haust our strength long since, but Irish fer- tility of resource has paralyzed them, and up to the present has prevented tho passage of a Coercion bill The prineipal provisions of the Coercion bill, as roughly thrown out, are the abolition of trial by jury and the substitutlon in its stead of tris! by two judges. This we s..all resist as long as we can hold out. Vi . THE CHARACTER OF TRISR JUDGES renders such u tribupal utterly untrust- -worthy. Most of those Irish Judges are also. members of the Sceret Privy Councll, and therefore creatures of the Government. Although arrests continue, the Irish peovle remain undaunted and anintimidated. Their perfect discipline is worthy of all admiration. Money flows into the Land-League, which the people nuw regard-as their sole resource. THE LANDLORDS, who find themselves vanquished at the bar of Christendomn, now graip at the forlorn hope that coerclon will eripple the power of the Land-League; and they give out in af- fected -bravery, that when it s passed they will shower those eviction notices down upon the hapless tenants which the Laud-League has” hitherto staved off. But, thanks to our Amerlean countrymen, the Land-League has such reserve resonrees that, in spite of tem- porary coercive laws, there isno fear of the future. THE GOVERNMENT HOPE, by pouring in troops, and by their arbitrary conduct in lreland, so to exasperate the peo- ple as to provoke rebellion, and then to shoot down by the thousands the unarmed people. These maneuvres we also hooeto checkmate. ‘As we stand at present, passive resistance to unjust laws is the stronger weapon in our hands. i Thanks to the Irish World and its readers for theirconstant cobperation and substantial support in our great cause. Let them have no fear of its ultimate success. ) CHARLES STEWART PARNELL. ———— MRS. LANGTRY. ¥ SHE DESIRES TO GO UPON THE STAGE. Special Cable. Loxposy; Jan. 29.—Conflicting rumors have long been in_circulation concerning Mrs. Langtry, the famous **Jersey Lily,” Roh_xg upon the stage. Some time ago, in consequence of differences with her hushnn}!, “Mrs. Laugtry consulted the eminent artist who had painted her picture for the pra}l ‘Acadewy as to her future career. Mr. Milluis advised her to turn her attention to the stage. Since then shé has been in training, and has at present arranged to appear at the Prince of Wales' Theatre in a new play by Mr, F. C. Burnand. ‘There is, however, con- siderable opposition mamfested in two quar- ters among HER FORMER SOCIETY FRIENDS, and in the dramwatic profession. The mem- bers of the latter cousider that ‘the stage ought to be regarded ‘as somethmg better than the last refuge of * professional beau- ties,” while soctety people are, or profess to be, shocked at what they call the *‘degreda- tion” of one who not long ago was in- vited by the Prince of Wales to a select party at Marlborough House to meet. the Queen., They don’t say that Mrs. Langtry is:*too good tor” the stage, but the actors and actresses decidedly think that she is not good enough. - It is beé- lieved that attempts are being made IN VERY HIGH QUARTERS to dissuade her from taking the step on which she scems resolved, and the whole subject is, as you can naturally imagine, the theme of excited and universal discussion amoug the two classes I have alrendy named. Indeed, some of our leading actresse®have gone to the length of declar- Langtry in any theatre whatever. THE NEW INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGET BILL is under private consideration. A clause.has been introduced by Mr. Chamberlain, pro- posing that Awerican reprints of books pub- lished by arrangement with the English .authors , .shall be adwitted freely into " this. .country. -This provision will provoke wnch opposition among the trade here, for English publishers could not anage to compete against the cheap re- priuts from the United Statés, and, conse- quently, could not afford to pay authors so liverally for copyright. ¢ , BRITISH ITEMS.

OBITUARY. < Spectal Diszateh to The Chicago Tribune. QuEeec, Jan. 20.~The Hon. Letellier de St. Just, late Lieutonant-Governor of -Que- [ bec, died at bis Tesidence at ‘River Quelle lagt night, The late Mr. Letellier was born at River Quelie on the 12th of May, 1820, He entered publle life as Representative for Kamouragka in 1851, but was defeated in 1852, and again In 1857, In 1861 he was clected to the Leaislative Councll of Canada for Gran- ville Division, and sat in that Chamber until the dissolution at the confederation, when he was called to the Senate by Royal proclama- tion. It was, howuver, as Lleutenant-Gov~ ernor of Quebee, to whick oftice he was appolnted in 187G, that he cuit & niost prowinent and altogether novel figure in Canadian political - history. When occupy- ing this position he formed the - ovinjon tuat the De Boucherville Minstry was contemn- ing his nuthority, and was determined to ignore him. The Province was then bound hand aud feet to tho Couservatives, and Letellier, : fo BRING A REFORMER, did not look with high favor on the policy of D¢ Boucherville, and possibly nttrib- uted the growing embarrassments of the’ Province to the bureaucratic Government and its reckless railway policy. On Mareh 2, 1878, the political world was astonished to hear that the Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec had dismiesed his Ministry. “There- after the party press was in’ paroxysms, and the fndependent press found an opportunity, of which it availed itself, to discuss a consti- tutional question on the broad platform of public interests. The position which they took was that, while the Lieutenant-Governor had a perfect tegal right to dismiss his Min- | isters, his act in doing so was agniust the yplrit of - the Constitution,—in other words, that the dismissal was | i AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL EXERCISE OF LEGAL POWERS. The matter was brought up in Parliament, when the Governor was sustained by Mr. Mackenzie’s Administration: It was then carried to England, whence it was referred back to Canada, the Governor-Geueral being in effect told to act. upon the advice of his AMinisters. Agnin brought up in the present Parllawent, Letellier’s . decapitation was decreed in the wotion declaring that his use- fulness was gone. Since his supercession Letellier has been in’ declining healtn, and latterly it has been apparent to his friends that _his “hour bad. inevitably*come.

Chapleau, his successor, has been a Premier who, while still dyed in Tory tradition, has been not unmindful of the popular will. Leteilier’s removal established the fmportant prineiple that Licutenant-Governors are not netual representatives of the soverelgn, Dbut merely ofiicers of the Dominion Parlia- wment. - ¥ Lt A BAD RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

Do tbey mean to 8y that the late William Orton, andull others whose cleims the Connecticut Mutyal have re- sisted, were dishonest and gullty.of fejony? Do thoy beliove that justice requires & compnny to disgrace, the memory of the dead (who, When living, were always considercd howmest, upright, and respectable) by cburging them In opeu court with d.sbonesty, fraud, felony, disreputable habits and diseases? They vverlook these matters, brought out by thoir charges in their letter fu last Sunday’s TrIBUNE, 2nd name £375,724.36 as the sum of al claima liziguted by their Company. In urecent report signed by their President, :exactly the same sum appears as-the amount of ltigated claims puid. Now, have they gone to law upon muere technicalities and been defeated every tinie? or have they litiguted more than stated by these agents? In elther event, would it not be better for the Company, as well as for the pol- fcy-holders, .to follow the example of the [Equitable Life-Assurance Society, exerciso ex- ira precaution in granting policies, take only o yeasvnnble time to detect and guard Aguiust fraud, after which time make the policies fo- contestable and payable limmediately uvoa re- ceipt of satlsfactory proofs of death, likéa bunk choclk or drafe? | 0.

This building has been recent~ ly reconstructed into one of the finest office~ buildings in the -city, and, havinz two eleva- tors and being well lighted and ventilated, 1t is very.desirable for ofiices. It Ig the inten- tion of the owner, Mr. J. V.

This building, situated as it Is midway be- tween tne new Court-House and the Custom- Iouse, having an entrance both- from La Salleand Clark streets (by way of the Ar- ende court), is very convenient of access to lawyers, and real-estate men, and insurance wen, and such are now taking offices there.
