The Daily Nev*3 haa c leading article upon the success of Mr Bryce and the colonial forces in the apprehension of Te Whiti and the other agitators, and the dispersion of the assemblage of natives at Parihaka. Tbe bloodlessness of the victory is noted with great satisfaction, and while a hope is expressed that the probabilities of the renewal of hostilities between the two races have been crushed by the decesive measures adopted, the New Zealand Government is again ex* horted to deal as generously with Te Whiti and his fellow fanatics as the circumstances of the case will allow. The assassin Guiteau continues to betray extreme anxiety about his personal safety. The utmost possible precautions have been adopted by the authorities to prevent any further attempts upon his life. The Government continue to pursue a firm policy in Ireland, and further arrests of seditious orators have been made. The Irish suspects imprisoned by order of the Government under the Coercion Act have been put upon prison diet. Hitherto the funds of the Irish Land League have been employed in supplying them with food. It was, however, found to be a heavy drain upon the funds, which have now been relieved of tbe expenditure. The London brokers express themselves hopefully in regard to the wool market, which they are confident will improve. Last night, while the Italian Parliament was sitting, a Sicilian entered the Chamber and threw a loaded revolver at the head of the Premier. 1 he weapon grazed hia face, but inflicted no serious injury, and did not explode. The affair has created a painful sensation in Rome. An extraordinary event befell the city of Rome last night. The gas supply was . stopped, and the whole city was in dark- ' ness. Whether the stoppage id the result of an accident or a criminal purpose has not yet transpired. November 24.

New York is already overcrowded with immigrants from the United Kingdom, and as there is a dearth of employment for farm laborers destitution is feared to exist amongst the new arrivals. Riotous proceedings took place at the election meeting for Londonderry, and several arrests were made. Another agrarian outrage has occurred at Meath, where a farmer has been shot for paying his rent. The Moslem inhabitants of Cyprus are indignant at the desecration of the tombs by the Greeks, and riots are imminent. The proclamation declaring Berlin to be in a state of siege has been further extended for twelve months. The Chilliana have kidnapped the President of Peru, and carried him off to Santiago. This has caused an angry feeling on the part of the United States Government. November 25. The elections for Brittany in France have been cancelled in consequence of the clerical candidate having advocated that the influence of tbe pulpit was injurious, and fresh elections will take place. Another severe shock of earthquake has been experienced at Berne in Switzerland. Sir J.
