Grave crimes in that m,uu\ry have happily been rarer in the last few months han during the similar period of the preced- ing vears, but the relations between the owners and occupiers of lands, which in the early autumn exhibited signs of improve- ment, have since been ously disturbed in some districts by organized attempts to incite the latter elass to combine against the fulfill- ment of their legal oblivations, The efforts of the government to cope with this evil have been seriously jmpoded by diflicult dent to the method at present preseribed by the statute for dealing’ with such offenses. Your early attention will be called to pro- posals for'retorm of legal procedure which seom ry to securo the prompt and effi- cient administration of the criminal law.

Y unad- A DULT, OP Loxpox, Jan, he s at the open- ing of parliament to-day were duller t those usually attending this event. Randoiph Churchill, when he first entered the commons, tried to take the coveted seat below the gangway which he formerly occu- pied. e found that 1t had been taken by lenry Chapman, whose hat was on the seat. It is notorious that a feud exists between Churehill and Chapman. ‘The speech from the throne ted little interest. The weather was damp and foegy. The Parnell- ites, after the reading of the queen’s speech, held a conference and disenssed the advisa- bility of offering an amendment to the ad- dress in reply to it. They adjourned without coming to a decision. Lord Randolph Churehill entered upon an lanation of the reasons which led him to zn the chanc ship of the excheque He said he retived_because the government's naval and military estimates exceeded £35,- 000,000, without counting large supplementary estimates. He insisted on having these esti- mates redueed, but his colleagnes refused to cut them down, “aithourh,” added Lora dolvl, L had’ been urging economy ever since August.” Lord Randolph thien re- ferred to the government’s foreign policy and declared, amid loud opposition cheer: Ik also objested to the government's policy of needless “interference in - affairs of other : ) alisbury opened the debate for the f ent by alluding to the resiznation of sord Randolph Churehill, saying the govern- ment was ble of the loss it sustained through his resignation. The premier said, however, he thought the execution of tan- dolph Churehill’s policy at the present time would inflict injury on the public serviee be- cause it was & time when no one coula teil what crisis might happen, “The marquis said he hoped the conservatives would soon again have the advantagze of Lord Randolph Churehill’s service. Gladstone was applanded when he called Lord Randolph Churehill's resignation a sacrifice in behalf of a sound economic policy and the judicious mode in which he pro- posud_to apply the principles he advocated, He (Gladstone) found no fault with the goy- ernment’s foreign poliey, but he thonght that Lord Salisbury’s Mansion house speech was calenlated to arouse apprehension, and the country was entitled to be reassured. Refer- ring to the Canadian fisheries question, he sald he trusted that the papers on the subject would speedily be presented to the house, He was ready to bet ten to one that the local government question would not be settled this session, Scenes at the Oponing, LCopuright 1557 by James Gordon Bennett,] Loxpon, Jan, 28— New York Herald Cable ~Speclal to the B —The tirst day of par- liament has just ended. 1t appropriately met on a misty, moisty afternoon, The peers and members who had driven or walked to the palace yard disappeared from the view of thousands of shivering spectators outside into an impenetrable foz inside, The cham- ber of the peers looked doleful with its dim gaslight, T'he throne was empty, and only a few peeresses were present in dull walking dresses. Lord Salisbury seemed to be in the “dumps,” and Lord Granville was mel- anchol, The seat ot Lord lddeslelgh was vacant. Upon him, as the first business, eulogies were gland Bo ad- journwents are made anywhers for a death, and no wemorials are placed on the minutes, ‘IT'he atmosphere around the black rod of Admiral Drummond was blacker than his wand. The lord ehancellor smacked bis lips as he read the queen's speech, lingering with gusto on the ten *I's” which it econtained, Then speeches followed on the queen speach, and Lord Herschell made the stereo- typed tory announcement that the govern- ment would strongly fight Irish home rul Phe house of commons was, however, joll Captain Selwyn, the Cambridge member, not yet twenty, and the son of a late justice of the court of appeals, a descendant of the great Selwyn and a brave horse guard fighter in Egyot, had been the nrst early bird to with Kis hat. Soon after his traditional | spondent that f breakfast on Hampshire bacon and Devon- shire eges, Lord Randoiph Churenill, who 18 nothing if not original, olaimed his seat be- hind his old one, by depositing there & neéw pair of gleves instead of his hat. T, C. O'Con- nor was wildly cheered by the liberals and his Parnellite colleagues on entering, be- canse it is well understood that he was the real winner of the Liverpool election by using smart American poliing tactics and that he prevented the Goschen people from adopting othier Ameriean tactics by which they might connt in Goschen. Parnell, look- ing pale and feeble, was also londly wel- comed, but when Gladstone came the rafters were endangered. As L. J. Jennings went up the gangway the liberals scowled, romem- bering that his latest book, shed last week, is uncomplimentary to Gladstone. But, generally, little interest was shown, not even when the orchid and eyezlass of Cham- berlain, their “Joe John,” b2amed impar- tially on his friends and foes, The galleries, however, were not yet open, except the reporters’, which was crammed and echoed with the scratch of pes Now came the usual farce, Strangers cannot join the devotions ot the house, so the reporters, like wretched sinners, were cast out into the outermost darkness of the lobbies. Party animosities were then soothed by an exclu- sive prayer from the chaplain, the Hon, and Rev. F. E. C. Byng, whose first wife wasa sister-in-law of Lady Miles, who figured in the Colin Campbell case, Then the heathen reporters were re-admitted and the galleries were opened, Mrs, Gladstone taking a seat to glance embraces at her Tom, while Leonard Jerome’s daughter was shoot- ing proud glances at her Kandolph as he sat bursting almost with explanations, Among the new members who toak the oath was Dr. Robertson, of Brighton, who was blind. He was led amid friendly cheers to the desk by his tory colleague, William Marriett, the ad- Vi e general. Liberal, and espectally Irish cers, also greeted the sveaker’s referenco to the Liverpool vacancy, and when he said that Paxton was elected to sit for Belfast, and a letter was read from McCarthy saying he would sit for Derry. Irish groans greeted the new war minister, William Henry Smith, when he announced fresh procedure rules, amid some Parnellite exclamations of “Gag, gag, gag.” Then followed notices of coming bills. The list of the first day’s propositions Includes bills to amend the Irish land law, to et a better London government, to prevent the postoftice from employing foreign steam- ers in carrying mails, to institute loeal option liquor laws, and to obtain a minister of agri- culture. However,texpecation was soon centered on Lord Randolph, who seemed tobe in an e planative dropsy. The technical busin over, he received a sign from the speaker androse, with a red camelia in his button hole, amid a profonnd and complimentary silence and looking as cool as a great actor on a one hundreth night. At his tirst word, Mr. Gladstone put his hand to his ear, lean- ing on his elbow, ashie is wont when he is very attentive. A rustle—it was Lady Ran- dolph leaning against the lattice of the ladies’ gallery. Then the ex-chancellor of the exchequer delivered a lucid speech. It was given eloquentiy and in a solid, states manlike manner. 1t was a speech that was studiously moderate and lasted about thirty- five minutes. Then Mr. W. H. Smith, successor in the leadership, followed in a dry, ofticial and commercial style. e was a good foil forthe brilliant orators who preceded him. Next came Mr. Gladstone, who was in tine voice and evidently full of energy and hope. His speech was principally occupied in lauding his old secretary, Lord Iddesleigh, Next came the dummics, who had been selected to niove and second the queen’s address, and they prattled outthe speeches prepared for them by the cabinet. Again Mr, Gladstone arose, after drinking a tumbler of eggnog, and made another speech amid the cheers of the house. The house then began to thin, although little pocket pistols of oratory were fired, and the membersadjourned to supper and chat. PUGILISTIC POINTERS, Gossip Coiicerning Famous Sluggers in England.
