Opinions of Various Leaders.

London special. The opinions of various leaders have been sought on the subject of the Irish home-rule proposals, which have caused.a great sensation in political circles. The Pall Mall Gazette having alleged that Earl Spencer had acquiesced in the scheme, Earl Spencer telegraphs: “No scheme of home rule has received my approval.” Mr. Childers telegraphs that lie has no knowledge whatever of Gladstone’s alleged proposals. Sir Charles Dilke says it is premature to discuss the subject. Mr. Healy says lie cannot express an opinion on the subject before his party meets. Mr. O’Connor declares that Ireland will not be satisfied with less than Canada enjoys, and will not contribute to the British exchequer. Mayor Sullivan, of Dublin says: “I cannot understand bow any assembly can save what landlords call their interests. They will perish by the inexorable law of nature. The minorities creed of politics is as safe in Ireland as in Engl md. Larg r home rule will be certain to work satisfactorily to both parties.”
