It is quite certain that the literal execution of tho net would break up, root and branch, tho National League, and absolutely 6tine auy open demonstration of sympathy with home rule. It is i robably quite as much on account of its unusually harsh features as for auy other reason" that the Irish Na'ionaiists looa upon it as a measure that England would only fully avail itself of as an extreme rosort. Tho Archbishop, attaching only secondary importance to this act, an l looking upon the amended land bill as removing a largeportiouof tne injustices of which tho farmers complain, augurs happy prospects for the futuro.
