MI, O’DONOVAD inthe Daily Netcs continue toatira tention. A telegram published to-day, dated Merv, July 14, gives hopes uf his speedy re- lease. O'Donovan vw connected — with the Fenian movement fifteen years 0. He was arrested under the Coercion ret, and released oon promising to goto America. He-crossed the Atlantic. re- turned, and was arrested a second time, -and, on his release, got associated with Michael Davitt, He narrowly escaped arrest with hin. He escaped to France, joined the anny, and was taken prisoner by the Germans on the Loire, After peace was concluded he. tok to journalism, and was present in the Carlist war. In the course of the Armenian and Turcoman campaigns he was forcibly ex pelled from Tehikislar by Gen. Skobeleff. Altogether his is a most romantic eareer. Ue is the sun of Dr. O'Donovan, the famous Celtic scholar. : ‘THE POTATO CROP IN IRELAND is the most abundant that has been grown in twenty years and the fisheries are un- usually prolific. The scientists have never been able to explain why it is that a good potato year is always a good fishing season, and that, when the rot is prevalent, the fishing is poor. The { of untried prisune distress which existed in Connaught and Munster two years azo has long since dis- appeared, and if the professional patriot will Jet the people alone, good times are at hand. The alleged famine, by the way, Was grossly exaggerated, but the relief from America and elsewhere was cheerfully xecepted. Mr, Russell, member of Varlis nieut for Dundalk, the eminent Quecn’s Counsel who made such an example of Miss Mabel Witberforce, of San Francisco and Indfanapolis, tells of a Mayo friend who, duying the hardest period of that famine, was laying in his usual stock of poteen. “L hope, Pat,” said he to the man- ufacturer, “that this is better stuff than the fast’? “The last,” cried Pat, “sure that was only poteen in yame, but this, your honor, js made trom the very pick of the relief inale.”” THE CALENDARS AT THE J now going on throughout Ireland ceedingly heavy, but, owing to the fac! afforded by the O'Hagan jury act, the pr oner in an agrarian case is able to secure a “friend in the box’? without any trouble, and the administration of justice is a faree. At Cork the juries have conducted themselves in an outrageous manner, ‘They plainly told Mr. Justice y. who pre- sided in the Criminal Court, that they would attach no weight to the evidence of the police, and, asin nine agrarian cases out of ten the police are the only witnesses: it was manifestly impossible to secure at conviction, and the Crown threw te docket over until the next a in Tipperary the jurors, in several cases where the prison- ers’ guilt was established beyond the shadow of a doubt, found a verdiet uf acquittal withouc leaving the box, and, when Mr. Justice Fitzgerald unreatencd to fine them, and ordered them into ue jury-room forcon- sultation, they annoyed him by sending out requests, not fer an explanation of ab- struse poiuts of kev, but fur whisky and card which, of course, were refused. "The nuot beamended this jon, and, lime next year, the jails will be full THE LORDS, "The chief attempts to amend the Land bill in the House of Lords will concentrate upon an effort to insert a chuse giving compen: tion to the Jandlords for the — loss of property. inflicted upon them by the general operation of the measure, In many cases the landlord has paid for half or more than half of the improvements on fis estate for farm buildings and other works. As ‘the bill now stands, the tenant will be able to sell die whole outright to the highest bidder, and pocket the _ pro- ceeds, the Jandlords getting — nothing. This, it will be contended, — is confiscation, and an endeavor will be made tw insert some provision for compensating the owner in cases of actual deprivation of the value of his improvements. LORD ARDILAUN (Sir. Arthur inuess) i: ease in point. During the last teu years he his spent over 410,009 in the improvement of his estate, these muprovemenis giving employment tw many tenants and tenants’ sens. Under the act the tenants who have reaped the ben- efit of the money spent in the improvements will be made absolute owners of Urew. ‘They ihent with their tenant right, or, in rdilaun, should eject them, elaim and obtain fromt him su many y composition or purchase of the wo whivi he has irretrievably sunk his money. There is no denying What hitherto the tenant, even though he grubbed the soil with the utmost industry, could not hope to obtain a stake in it or to be guaranteed against rapaciiy and arbitrary eviction, but if the esizie belongs to the Jandlord—and nubody outside of the League will deny that a man why has inherited or paid for property is entiued to unqualified possession—the ndlord’s rights ought not to be swept) away in -the man- ner indicated without compensation. Lf. a railway company pushes its line through an estate, equity compels it not only to pay for the right of way, but to give the uwner cumpensation for the loss inflieted. uyon his property by the division, regardless of any prospective .benelits which may ac- crue to the estate from the construction of the line. Under the Land bill, however, the landjord is not only deprived of the free- dom of the tenant right, but the money he has sunk in improving it is handed over to the tenant. WHETHER TRE CONSERVATIVE PARTY in the House of Lords will take une lead in forcing this amendment upon the Govern- ment is yet uncertain. If Lord Salisbury holds back, Lord Dunraven (whose knowl edge of the question is uot excelled in the Upper House) will move an amend- went of the subject. He will be supported by the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Duke (of Argyll, and the representatives ofthe Whig party generally. lt will bere: Inembered that an amendment of a similar Kind, moved in the. Commons by Mr. James Howard, the Liberal mem- ber for Bedfordshire and - principal partner in the great apgricuin machine works there, was only rejected by a very narrow majority in a full house. Should Lord Dunraven’s amendment be carried, Mr. Gladstune would probably refuse to ac cept it, and the two Housesimight be brought into contlict. Mk.

THE SPECIAL CABLE Disparenxs FROM NEW YORK to the three great morni less sensauonal than usual no further attempt has been made by the Standard correspondent to implicate G Arthur in a Stalwart conspiracy against the President's life. “A Yankee,” whoseletterstu the Spectator during the Civil War did much to keep: public opinion in England right, sends a letter to that paper to-day, explain- ing the recent party contest, and to sume extent vindicating Conkling and Arthur trom the attacks ‘made upon them in the London press it connection with Guiteu’s act. Me says of Mr. Arthur: ‘“Slaving some knowledge of the man, L venture to predict that, if he should be called to President jartield’s empty chair, he will prove a sagucious, prudent, upright President, and that his strong partisanship will be subject to a stronger: patriatisti.” Several of the leading journals wow begin to see that they ns been imisled by the dispatches from New York, which have been dictated by ig- horance or malevolence, STOCKS AND Ronps.

Re- ports have been received from various sources. concerning the continued prog- ress of commerce in the United States, and the satisfactory financial con dition of the country. These have done much to dispel the vague alarms created by tte Standard’s cable dispatches about the ruined harvest and the threatened panic in the stock market, Mr, James “Keene's con- tingent has been almost inactive during the past week, and its’ malign intiuence has quickly = faned. = Mr. Gould’s new cable alarms the holders of the old stocks, but the opinion is becoming general that there is business enough for all, and that reduced rates will not eventually prove injurious to the existing companies. GOWEN Sir Edward Watkin madea speech at the meeting of the Metropolitan (underground) Railway the other day, withdrawing his former charges that Mr. Meflenry .had “depredated the funds” of the Erie Com- pany. lle expressed regret that lre had ever been led into making such a charge. Mr. Gowen is expected shortly to open an en- tirely new campaign. MI. GOULD’S RUMORED ARRIVAL yesterday. created a stir in the city, but it v oon found that the brokers had set the story afloat to get up a little excitement in the market. LORD REACO! are prudently taking advantage of the rage for p sing rehes of that remarkable man, by selling all his furniture and’ effects, and everything they can lay their hands on, lis house, 19 Curzon street, is now open for inspection, and to-day crowds of people were — streaming — through it. It was almost impossible at noon te get near the outer door, His bedroom is the chief object of curiosity, with its wouderful hangings of blue silk covered with red roses. The walls are covered with this silk, and the bed-curtains are of the same azure hue, fitter for the Queen of beauty than for an old man of 7%. The drawing-room is decked out in erimson satin, and there is blue velvet every- where. The colors throughout the house areona par in brilfiancy with his peacocks at Hughenden, the dazzling © ts he wore to the last moment, and even with that flashy waisteoat of his early days, which Mr. Bright once said was “the proto- type of his foreign policy.” It probable that these gaudy articles will feteh three times their real value. If the executors would sell his cout and vests, they would realize a small fortune, It is whispered that they are actually thinking of doing so. OD HARVEST THIS Y end to lift England out of her present and blow to the winds the nists, but it is Quarterly that neither nor ten would The whole ques- debated in the aresolution put on the paper by Mr. Ashmead Bartlett, Tory mem- ber for Eye, which reads as follows: * That, in the opinion of this Llouse, trade within the limits of the Empire should be unrestricted; that no eom- mercial treaty should bé made with foreign Powers that will not-admit British produets on equal terms, and that retaliatory duties be placed upon the products of those foreign States which exelude British prod- uets by protective tariffs.” The association formed by a number of Peeresses and other ladies of distinction to encourage British industry by discarding foreign fabrics and wearing British goods, has secured the patronage of the Prince and Princess Christian, an easy-going couple, who take a hand in everything harmle: it is quite possible, however, that the Associa- ay do the British artisan a good turn. “urs ago the Princess of Wales revived the Irish poplin trade by wearing poplin almost to the exclusion of silk, and she turned her attention to the encourage ment of Irish pottery by giving large orders for the famous Beleek ware.

Three thousand persons will be admitted on Monday afternoon in Westminster Abbey to the funeral of Dean Stanley. There will be eighty mourners, and a select. company of 200 will meet in the Jerusalen Chamber and follow the mourners in procession. mong these will be Mr. Gladstone, Sir ord Northcote, Mr. Cross, Mr. Froude. Lord Shaftesbury, Lord. Houghton, and Prog. Tyndall. The kindly meu¢l of the Dean published in the American papers have been courteously answered on this side by the issue of tickets unusked to the Herald and to the represent- atives of other American papers. The Dean’s successor will probably be either Canon Far- rar or Dean Vaughan. The last published work of the Dean was a four-column eriti- vism of the revised ‘Testament pub- fished in the Times on Wednesday. The following. are its concluding words: “The general flow of the sacred narrative escapes any changes which, except by a microscopic survey, could affect a cursory . Many of the changes are only ex- by thes margii, — but’ the it is evident in this transla- tion, rises to a level much above the place assigned to it in the time of James L, and, not improbably, it often represents the impression of a strong and intelligent ini- nority. Jt may be asked, What are the pros- peets of this new version taking the place of that which already exists? 'To this no posi- tive answer can as yet be given. But something may be augured from the history of that previous version itself. We have already seen that the trans- lation of 1611 never ri nelion of Parliament, convocation, or soverign. It cane in by use, and by use it still holds its ground. There is no reason to doubt that, if the present version shonld win general acceptance, it will, in its turn, supersede the old, fi in private houses and then by pub- lic reading inchureh. By the Non-Conform- ists it will be accepted as a substitute for the older version. In all prob- ability, after a faint struggle in the Chureh,. it — will exist side by: side by the earliest translation, in’ the same y as the Vslams already are dear Churchmen in two versions. neither of whi excludes the other. In any cireu i huped that the revision, con- it has been with sueh singular by the body. of Christians in the Kingdom and the United States, will act notas a disagreement but as a uniting element to bring together the thoughts and. devotions of thousands into a fair and more exact expression of the book which, above all other books, aboye even the Hebrew Scriptures themselves, has been fitly called the Word of God." WIMBLEDON, Special table, Wrarrpos, July 23—The rifle meeting elosed to-day. Since Wednesday the weather had changed. The temperature was much lower and camp life was consequently pleasanter. The chief event of interest to- day was the small-bore match, between British and Canadians. The former were represented by Mr. Martin Smith, of Wimble- don: Lieut. Baker, of the London Rifle brigade, Mr. Huuphrey, of Cambridge Uni- ity: Mr. Murphy, of Dublin; Lieut. Me- Kerrall, of the London and Scottish; and Sergt. Gilder, of Harrow. The Canadian team was composed of Sergt. D. Mitchell, Corporal Mitchell, Sergt. J. Mitchell, Private W. Alitchell (all four of whom are broth- ers), Sergt. Paine, and Private Mason. The weather ‘was all that could bo wished for long-range shooting, the light being dull and gray, and the wind steady. ‘The ranges were’s00, 940, and 1,000 yards. At $00 yards the British madea total score of 424 points, ont of: a pussibié 450. Baker and Murphy each made iy % one point of the full score. ‘The Canadian total at $00 yards was 400—eiebteen behind the home team. At 90 yards the Canadians shot yery wildly, while the English increased their lead, _ finish- ing this range with an addition of 63 to their lead, The scores were: Home team, 415; Canadians, 352, At 1,000 yards the Canadians were a little steadier, but here again they dropped 36 | be- nind their adversaries, The British totals were: Baker, 212; Gilder, 209; Smith, 208; Mumphrey, 202; Murphy, 201; MeKerrall, 199; grand total, 1222. The Canadian totals were: 'T. Mitchell, 193; W. Mitchell, 191; Mason, 199; D, Mitchell, 182; C. Mitchell, 177; Pain, 172; grand total, 1,105; differences, 11.7, The Canadians were much surprised, and their Captain was greatly an- noyed at the vad beating. Earl Brownlow, Captain of the English team, in announcing the numbers, congratulated the Cana- dians on having fought an upbill fight — pluekily, and hoped. they. needed no assurance that the United Kingdom marksmen would always be glad to see them gompeting on the ground. Col. Gibson, Captain of the Canadian team, re~ plied that he was not surprised at their being beaten, but much dis- appointed at being. beaten so bad- ly. They were not, however, sent over to fight a small-bore match with tha crack shots of the mother country. Small-vore shooting was practiced by very few in the Dominion, Still, as it was known that some of their best small-bore men were — coming over, and as Sir Henry Halford suggested a friendly long- ‘ange mate, he thought that, whatever ht be the result, it could not but be very pleasant to fight™ side by side with the home country team. Although beaten, and beaten badly, he must say that the victory represented fairly enough what the mother country conld do when pit- ted against Canadian long-range shots, and hoped that, another’ time, the latter would give a better account of themselves. ‘The meeting Was brought to aclose by the pre- sentation of prizes by the Princess of Wales, who was accompanied by the Prince of Wales and the young Princess, An immense throng of spectators present. Alto~ gether the Canadians have carried off £250 in money prizes, two badges of the Queen’s, sixty-two of the St. George's, three grand aggregate badges, and the Kolapore Cup.

THE “ECONOMIST ” this week elaborately dissects the Quarterly Review’sarticleon English trade and foreign competition, and declares that the writer i: ignorant of fiscal affairs, mistaken ih his Statisties, and wrong in his conclusions. “The article,” says the Economist, *rep- resents the views of the Conservative party. It certainly will not commend itself to the common sense of the country, and proposals of this kind, especially when put forward for party purposes, are little better than a mock- ery of the distress they profess to aim at alleviating.” ‘The Spectator sa; “We have still some hope we are to escape a revival of the worn- out discussion on protection, for, in spite of some sinister appearances, we cannot believe the Tory chiefs will lend themselves to so mery.*? AM PE: ioner of Pennsylvania writes to the Times as follows: “The allegation that the precise spot where Penn's remains are buried cannot be found will not be ac- cepted, as it is quite certain Penn was buried ina leaden coftin.” The Commissioner then enters intoa long and exhaustive argument in favor of the removal of the rem America.

If France goes further, serious coiplications will ensue. The English Government distinctly warned France that Tripoli stands inadi ent position than Tunis, and that French intervention in Tripoli would lead to imme- diate action on the part of the cosignatories tothe Berlin ‘Treaty, which guaranteed the integrity of the Ottoman Empire. This action of Lord Granville ex- plains the Ditterness of the French toward England, ‘here is now little fear here of the French lmprudenee. ‘The English are beginning to understand the Freneh en- terprise in Tunis as a desire to show that the Republic no more than the Empire is devoid of military spirit, The French Government is undoubtedly influenced by a desire to win the Bonapartists at the coming elections. CUBA. THE ROLE! TIAVANA, July 23,—Captain-General Blanco telegraphed the Spanish Consul at Vera Cruz regarding the employés who carried off $200,000 of the funds of the Spanish Bank of Cuba, and who were supposed to be on board. the steamer Alicante. The Consul replied yesterday that the steamer before entering the Port of Alvarado, was ordered, through the intervention of the Consul, to proceed to Vera Cruz. Upon the arrival of the Alicante at Vera Cruz, the Consul ordered her forth- with to Havana, making the Captain of the. steamer responsible for the delivery of the supposed culprits, in whose possession, how- ever, no yaluables were found when they were searched at Vera Cruz, It is probable that the men found on board the steamer were sent asa feint to mislead the pursuit of the echiet robbers, who have probably escaped to the United States.

Tke first assasination that shook the world— wwsar's—leaves few details, but these few are thrilling as the victorious moment {in battle. Cwsar's life bad been one of the most valorous ip an age when valor was the pride of a nation. His death was equal to bis life, He had many high in the it, L have been up art. it comes warnings, but refused to retain existence at the | price of constant suspicion and guarding. Cxesar’s enemies bad made pretended contrition for their rebellion and treachery after bis con- quest of Pompey. The question of the Kingship was over; buts vague alarm hud been created, which answered the purpose of the optimates. Ciwser was at their mercy anyday. They had sora to maintain all his acts. They had sworn, after Cicero's speech, individnally and collect- ively, to defend bis life. C:esar, whether he be- jieved them sincere or not, had taken thom at their word, and came daily to the Senate un- armed and without a guard. He had a pro- tection in the people. If the optimates killed him without preparation, they knew that they would be iminediately inassacred. But an atmosphere of suspicion and uncertainty hud been successfully generated, of which they deterinined to take imtnediate advantage, There Were no troops in the city. Lepidus, C:esar’s Master of the Horse, who bad been mppuinted Governor of Gaul, was outside the gntes with a few cohorts; but Lepidus was a person of feeble character, and they trusted to be able to deal with bim. Thus the ides of March drew near. Civsar was to set out ina few days for Parthia. Decimus Brutus was going as Governor to the aorth of italy, Lepidus toGaul, Marcus Brutus to Mace- sonia, and Trebonius to Asia Miner.

THE SCENE AND THE MEN. An important meeting of the Senrtehad been called for the ides (the Lith, of the montu. The Pontitices, it was whispered, intended to bring on again the question of the kingship before Cwsnr's departure, The oceasion would ve ap- propriate. The Senate house itself was a con- Venient scene of operadons The conspirators met at supper the evening before at Cassiu: house, Cicero, to his regret, was not invited. ‘The plan was simple and was rapidly arranged. Casar would attend unarmed. The Senators not in the secret would be unarmed also. The party who {ntended to act were to pro- yide themselves with poniards, which could be easily concealed in their paper boxes. So far all was simple: but a question rose whethor Cwsar only was to be killed, or whether Antony and Lepidus were to be dispatched along with him. ‘To spill plood without necessity would mar, it was thought, the sudlimity of their ex- ploit. Some of them liked Antony. None sup- posed that either be or Lepidus wonld be dan- gerous when Cwsar was gone. In this resolu- tion Cicero thought that they made a fatal mis- take; tine emotions Were ood in their place, in the perorations of speeches and such like Antovy, a3 Cicero admitted, had been signally kind to him; but the killing Cesar was a serious business, and his triends should ouve died along with bim, 1f was determined otherwise. Antony and Lepidus were not to be touched. For tha rest the assusins bad merely to be in their places in tbe Senate in good time.

In the morning the sacr.fices were again unfavorable. Ciesar Was restless. Some natural disorder affected his spirits, and bis spirita were reacting on his bods.
