When Mr. Gladstone started from London on his Scotch campaign, fully 10,000 people gathered at the depot to give him godspeed. and when the Premier drove up in his carriage they made frantic efforts to see him, and broke down tho harriers which had been provided to keep them back. A great many men and boys climbed to tho top of the railway carriages standing in the station, and from that elevation cheered Mr. Gladstone as he passed them. Mr. Gladstone only reached his coach with the greatest difficulty. A squad of polifcemen surrounded him and by much elbowing succeeded at last in getting him through the cheering masses to the car. The coach window at Mr. Gladstone’s seat was open. The crowd, catching sight of the venerable minister through it, cheered vociferously, until the Premier, rising and speaking from the window, said: Attempts have been made and will be made to divert your attention from the real question at issue. This question is solely whether Ireland shall be trusted to manage her own affairs. Those who deny Ireland this right admit that Canada and other British colonies enjoy such rights. Are we to trust our fellow-subjects in Ireland and govern by love,or are we to adopt the policy of the Government’s enemies and introduce into Ireland government by force ? At all the stations along the route the Premier was enthusiastically greeted by enormous crowds, and at Edinburgh 40,000 people lined the streets and w r ildly cheered the Liberal leader. The French Senate Committee has rejected by a vote of G to 3 all proposals for the expulsion of the princes. Cholera has appeared at Cadigora, on the Po, eight miles from the Adriatic. Sixteen new Cases, on an average, are daily reported at Venice. As a bid for the vote of the dissenters it is stated that Mr. Gladstone ha-s promised them to disestablish the English Church if they help him to settle the Irish question by supporting home-rule. A Conservative meeting at Islington, a northern suburb of London, ended in a riot. The speaker’s platform was stormed by the crowd. Tho Duke of Norfolk, who is a Whig, was an occupant on the platform. He was roughly seized by the neck, jammed up against a wall, and hustled off the stage. A number of aristocratic companions who wore with the Duke wore badly handled. The police were summoned, and succeeded in stopping the rioting. The funeral of King Ludwig of Bavaria took place at Munich. The procession was three hours in passing from the palace to Si Michael’s Church. The bells throughout Bavaria will ring every day for six weeks from noon to 1 o’clock, in mourning for tho King. Hobart Pasha, Marshal of the Turkish Empire, is dead. He was a son of the Earl of Buckinghamshire, eervod for many years in the British navy, and in the last -war between Russia and Turkey was appointed by the Sultan Comma-ider-in-Chiof of the Turkish Black Sea fleet The influential London journals, with the exception of two personal organs, aro united against home rule on the Gladstone plan. Some of the weeklies favor restricted forms of home rule. Lord Greville, an influtial Irish landlord, is a convert to Gladstone. Punch has gone oyer to the Tones.
