LATE CABLE NEWS.

[Bv Telegraph.J [Per b.b. Rotomahana, at the Bluff ] A portion of the Late Cable News, per the above ship, was given in onr issue of yesterday. The following are additional items: LONDON, November 3. Owing to several agrarian outrages having lately occurred in Cork and the neighborhood, a portion of the country hoe been proclaimed a disturbed district. Governor Arthur has been elected VicePresident of the United States. November 4. The increase of the Socialist agitation in Germany has excited the attention of the authorities, and Hamburg, which was regarded as a centre of the movement, has been declared to be in a state of siege. A large number of persons suspected of complicity with the movement have been expelled from the city.

The agitation in the south and west of Ireland is increasing, and in the counties of Galway, Mayo, Kerry, and Cork outrages have been of daily occurrence. The police has been strengthened, and a considerable number of additional troops has been ordered to the disturbed districts. Sir Alexander Oookburn, Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, is suffering from a severe illness. Notwithstanding the increase in the military and police at the south and west of Ireland agrarian outrages are still perpetrated. At Clandra an attempt was made to shoot a magistrate, which fortunately failed. At Consheen, a farmer, whose only offence had been compliance with the demands of his landlord, was dragged from his house at night and mutilated in a shocking manner, by having his ears amputated. The members of the Irish Land League and sympathisers in the anti-rent agitation generally, are organising committees throughout the country tor the purpose of raising funds for the defence of Mr Parnell, M.P. for Cork, and the others associated with him in the charge of conspiracy. Already a considerable snm has been collected, and a strong bar retained for their defence. Mr Parnell has issued a manifesto denouncing the action of the Government in instituting proceedings for conspiracy against him, as an'attempt to evade the just grievances of Ireland and demanding a speedy trial. Amongst the lowest classes of the Irish people a bitter feeling is manifested on account of the proceedings taken against the prominent agitators. The detectives, who have been instrumental in working np the case, and the Government reporters employed to take down seditious speeches at the various meetings, are especially obnoxious, and threats have been made to drown them if opportunity offers. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr Gladstone, has definitely announced the determination of the Government with regard to the application made by the sugar refiners of England for the imposition of duties on imported sugar sufficient to countervail the bounty accorded to manufacturers by the French Government. A Select Committee of the House of Commons had reported in favor of the request, but the Government decisively refused to consent to the imposition of countervailing duties. The Dominicans of Paris and other religions communities are offering determined resistance to the authorities in the enforcement of the March decrees for the suppression of unauthorised ecclesiastical and educational establishments. The Dominicans barricaded their premises and refused to leave when called upon. Having maintained a state of siege for some time, the services of the Paris firemen were engaged to force open the doors, and this having been accomplished, the members of the order were expelled from the country. November 6. Owing to the spread of disaffection in Ireland and the perpetration of outrages in the disturbed districts, the Government have ordered the Chancel Squadron to Ireland. It consists of four ironclads and a dispatch vessel, under the command of Admiral Hood. Mr Parnell, M.F., and those associated with him as traversers in the prosecution for conspiracy and intimidation, having entered an appearance as legally required, demand from the Government that they shall be immediately placed upon their trial. The authorities display no desire to depart from the usual course.

A manifesto has been published by the leaders of the Land League in Ireland. The document is defiant in tone, and denounces the action of the Government in unmeasured terms. It declares that Mr Gladstone and his colleagues have abandoned the principles of liberalism, and are following in the footsteps of the Tories. An appeal is also mode to the people of Ireland for funds to continue the agitation in favor of land reform and for the defence of those prosecuted for conspiracy. The Earl of Roseberry has been elected L.D. Rector of the University of Edinburgh. A Universal Exhibition is to be held at the Crystal Palace, Sydenham, from Juno to October, 1881, of wool, woollen manufactures, and other industries.

The Land League agitators have issued a wild manifesto. On the other hand the landlords’ movements and the Orange demonstrations are increasing. Forty Orange clubs met yesterday and denounced the Land League. November 8. Evictions are numerous in the South and West of Ireland, owing to the _ refusal of tenants to pay the rent. A very bitter feeling is arising between landlords and tenants, and at meetings which have been held the conduct of the landlords is denounced as arbitrary and unjust. A vacancy has occurred in the representation of Wexford in the House of Commons. The Home Rule party have determined to put forward as their candidate Mr Healy, the private secretary of Mr Parnell, who was arrested at Cork on the 24th ultimo on a charge of conspiracy end sedition.
