LONDON.

November 27,

A rupture has arisen in the negotiations which were proceeding between France and England on the subject of Madagascar. The envoys from the latter country who recently went to France have now arrived in London.

News is to hand from Dublin of a serious outrage committed there to-day. A man who had just alighted from a cab deliberately stabbed a juror in the case of Hynes, who is now under trial. The juryman lies in a moribund state. A bailiff who was a witness of the outrage made an attempt to seize the assassin. The latter, however, escaped in the car from which he had alighted, but only after a struggle, in which he was severely stabbed by the bailiff. In consequence of the recent outrages the force of police in Dublin is being augmented, and all the constables are now armed with revolvers.

In the House of Commons to-day the thirteenth of Mr Gladstone's resolutions, namely, that regarding standing committees on law and a court of justice, trade, etc., was adopted after further debate.

At the wool sale to-day 9000 bales were offered. There was only a small attendance of buyers, and the tone of the auction was quiet.

November 28. Parliament will on Friday next be prorogued until February, 1883.

In the House of ComYnona last night Mr Gladstone introduced the supplementary estimates of expenditure in Egypt up to October last, amounting to £1,060,000. The Premier announced that all the Co3t arrising from the British occupation after October will be borne entirely by Egypt. The total cost of the Egyptian campaign to England and India will amount to £4,500,000.

In consequence of the state of excitement now prevailing in Dublin further stringent measures have been adopted for the preservation of peace ia that city, and a proclamation has been issued by the Executive to-day declaring that the curfew clause of the Coercion Act, under which persons found abroad after dark are liable to arrest, will be enforced. A reward of £5,000 has been oftered for the apprehension of the assassins of the juryman engaged on the Hynes trial. The murderers are, however, still at large.

Earl Granville, Foreign Secretary, in replying to a deputation which waited upon him to-day wiih reference to Debazzae treaty and the recent negotia tions between the French Government aed the envoys from Madagascar, stated that he was not aware of the existence of any treaty given by France of a protectorate over the island of Madagascar.
