LoNnox, July 5—In the commons to-night Campbell Bannerman, formerly chief scere- tary for Ireland, gave notice that he .would introduce on the second reading of the Lrish land bill a motion that no land measure be satisfactory which Iacked such revision of Judicial rents as would meetthe results of the fall in prices. An animated discussion took place over the conduct of the police in ar- resting a young woman named Cass, who is of pure repute, as an improper character, The debate resulted in the aefeat of the gov- ernment by a vote of 153 to 148, The criti- cisms of the members were directed less against the peace authorities than against Mathews, home secretary, who was accused ot stielding the officials, A number of lib- eral unionists voted with the majority. Itis exvectad that the defeat of the government will lead to the resignation of Matthews. 1t Caused a Sensation, [Copyright 1557 by James Gordon Bennet'.] LoNvon, July 5.—|New York Herald Cable—Special to the Ber. |—Great has been the jubilation in the commons lobby and hiberal clubs over the distinct defeat of the government. It comes stroncly after the recent defeat at the polls. Oddly enough, the new Gladstone members’ first vote was against the cabin Home Secretary Mathews must resign. His defeat is not only eevere, per se, but it distinctly 1m- peaches his candor and his want of manliness, necessarily also that of the gov- ernment which stood by his blunder with tory obstinacy, even the attorney general backing up the home sec Lord Randolph Churchill, his political god- father, had tho good sense to keep out of the division. ‘The morning papers are unani- mously savage on him, The Telegranh, hitherto friendly to the government, using such strong language as that “the vote was a deserved rebuke to Mathews,” and charac- terized what the attorney general urged as a general special pleading. The liberal unionists deserted the government. The cheer which went up from the home rule benches on the result was said, by the Irish members, to be the overture to the coming opera of Irish success, EY lCTlO; Outrages in Ireland—The Poor Ten- nt's Unhappy Lot. LCopuright 1857 by James Gordon Bennett,) Dunr July 5—[New York Herald Cable—Bpecial to the Burr.]—The prepara- tions to-day began on Brook estate atthe Coal Granney near Arklow and in the ex- treme north of Wexford county. Seventy eviction writs are out and 700 soldiers with wagons conveying reinforcements of police were to-day drafted into Arklow and from thence to the scene of evictions where a regular encampment 1s formed. The tenants have determined they shall not go without resistance. Wherever circumstances would allow they are barricading and fortlfying their little homesteads. ‘I'he preparationson both sides bear more the appearance of actual warfare than the mere execution of legal decrees. Willing hands have been eneaged acouple of days felling trees. Trunks have been placea behind the windows, doors nailed ahd fastened together with iron spikes in a way which transforms the cottages into & fortress. In the two-storied house of Pat- rick Kavanrugh e made arrangements to cut away a rtaircase and he will r t until he andhis family are driven out through the bed- room windows. ‘Ihe ssme spirit appears to animate all tenants, It is likely this eviction ceampaign in Conl Granney will be as mem- orabie as those ot Glenleigh or Bodyke. Mr. Brock, wine merchant, Dublin, is landlord and Captain Hamilton, cretary of the Landlords Defense association, is agent of the property. It covers a wide area and lies on the slopes of hills not far from the beautiful vale of Glenmalure. Rents are exacted from 30 to 40 per cent higher than the Griftiths valuation. This is the complaint of the tenants that induced them to plan the campaign which was put In operation on the estate months ago by John Dillon, M. P., when the claim for a reduction of 0 per cent was made. For instance, Laurence Keogh holds thirty-eight acres the valuation of which Is £26 and the rent £35, Tatrick Kavanagh 50 acres valuation, £36 Tent, £82, ete., ete. ‘Thore are other tenan- cles, the estate on which most of them have settled has been tor generativns, a fact ‘which makes the proceedings all the harder. One estate belonged orizinally to a Colonel Ford, and his nephew acted as agent and ‘was engaged on one oceasion in earrying out eighteen evictions, The last person thrown out on the roadside was an old weman, who' falling on ber knees, invoked curses on the agent “'may you never see your own home &gain,” sheshrieked and Ford returning from the evictions was thrown otf his horse and killed, A generaireduction was made and matters went on peaceably when the prop- erty was sold toa Mr. Brook, who at once raised the rent over the original tigure, It is very possible the cercion act will take effect before these evictions, and then they may become pioneer list cases.

He looked weak from past illness and exnhausted by the journey, but still haa strength enouch to respond repeatedly to the cheering. He stood several minutes bowing 1o the crowd which walted patiently below Kurbam’s window at the depot. The crowd willingly dropped back out of sight of the platforin at an ofticer's suggostion that It wounded the emperor’s pride to have Lis subjects se¢ he had been holped out of the raillway ear. As the kaiser stepped ou the erimson footeloth a urilliant oficer advanced and almost knelt as be kissed his hand. Within the station the em- peror received & fow lutimates. They weut out to the carriage to drive under the shadow of hundreds of flags to Kurharas. Most of the distance tall poles covered with ever- greens were erectod every few feot on both sldes of the street. Between the poles your rs six to ten years old from the Fas schools were stationed sach with & bouguet to throw wt the amperor plnnuud- All sae way !ncluding even the bridge over the Lohn was lined with adense crowd. Finally the tired emperor came to the window. Four times he ac- knowledged the greeting of the people out- side. 'The people of Emis who had not seen the emperor since his recent illness were a good deal shocked at his appearance but have entire faith that he only needs FEms to ensure absolute recovery. Iam told the kaiser decided. con- trary to the advise of his physicians, to leave Kms on the 11th for Coblenetz, Baden- Baden, Constance and Gastein, stopping one ormore days at each intermediate point. His general health will decide this matter, ULEAN CAMPS, Americ ol ks Copyright 1857 by James Gordon Loxbos, July b— York Herald Cable—Special to the I —1n support of the popular English supposition that the queen always has fine weather for journeys and appearance, it is certainly an odd cir- cumstance that no sooner were her daily jubilee duties yesterday ended than rain began to fall, after three weeks' cessation, with bright days and drought. The latter was hard upon the 10,000 volunterrs who were employing the jubilee time In_encamp- ment, their chaplains joining last Sunday in universal prayers over the kingdowm for raiv, ararely used chureh sorvice in misty, molsty England. 'The Standard, which is rarely complimentary to anything Amerizan, thus compares the current volun- teer encampments here and the one near New York. Iquoteitas interesting to the immense volunteer armies of America: “Our volunteers flatter themselves that their camps are models of military neatness. They would be astonished, however, were they subjected to the aiscipline which the Seventh volun- teer regiment of New York Is undergoing at the state camp at Peekskill. So rigid is Colonel Phiston that not only are rags, easy chairs, mirrors and the nicknacks which embellish the tents of our volunteers at Wimbledon strictly prohib it rigidly forbidden, on pain of mi ishment, to throw down a half burnt mateh or the stump of a cigar. It may be doubted whether rules 30 rigid were ever lald down in the eamp of regular soldiers at Oldershot, which must be admitied as an untidy and disorderly encampuent in comparison with Peekskill.” ‘The general idea is that the discipline in the American army is far less sirict than Eu- rope, butitis evident there are exceptions, and the New York regiment can fairly claim that their camp in tidiness is ab- solutely unrivalled by those men in servico in the effete monarchy of Europe, It may be that, however good fighters the English volunteers may be, they possess in comparison with many Amerlean wilitiamen in large cities a sloucn bearing and dress.

This was one of the oldest theatres in Brussels, where the famous Dusler Wadebar made his first appearance, whera Juiie Coquelin and many others were often heard, and where Thackeray as related in his recent Scribner Magazine letters witnessed the performance of “Gentle Bernard” by Digarzen thirty years ago.

A Liquor Man Arrested For Burning Up a Town, Enir, Pa., July 6.—About 0:30 last nignt two fires broke out almost simultaneously in the hotel and a saw mill in Clarendon, seven miles east of Warren, and a brisk wind swept the flaines over {he frame buildings of the village like a whirlwind, Aid was procured from Warren assoon as possible, but it was too late to stay the progress of the fire, and about all that was saved of the town was the railroad depot. ‘The area burned over is about twenty acres and the value of the buildings is estimated at $570,000, exclusive of contents, The insurance is insignificant. Eftven hundred people are homeless to-night and camping in the woods. Lumber in large uantities is being shipped in and prepara- tious are being made as rapidly as possible to provide shelter for the unforfunate inhabi- ants who have lost their all.
