[By Xeibgbaph.J [Per s.s. Albion, at the Bluff.] [AEGITS SPBCILAS.J LONDON, June 6. Mr Healy, M.P. for Wexford, one of the most youthful and extreme members of the Home Buie party |in the course of a bombastic speech bitterly denounced Mr Foster, Chief Secretary for Ireland, as the oppressor of the Irish people, and challenged him to mortal combat in a duel to be fought with swords. This proposal has excited general amusement, especially as Mr Foster is well known to be a member of the Society of Friends. The Russian police are pursuing their investigations into the recent conspiracy to murder the Czar, Besides the criminals already executed twenty-one persons have been arrested on suspicion of complicity. The confessions made have implicated a number of others. The Kurdish tribes on the border of Armenia and Persia are again exhibiting signs of discontent. The chiefs have thrown off the sovereignty of the Sultan, to whom they were nominally subject, and have proclaimed tribal independence. Fears are entertained of further raids into Persia, and Persian troops are being moved to the border to prevent disturbances. Throughout Armenia general anarchy prevails. The projected exhibition at Adelaide is receiving warm support among the English manufacturers. Large numbers of the principal firms represented at the Melbourne Exhibition have undertaken to render assistance, and will forward to Adelaide new goods by the steamers Orient and Garonne, i The theatre at Belfast has been burned. The building was almost new, and was one of the ornaments of the city. June 10. The Lusitania, which left Sydney on April 21st, and Melbourne on April 26th, conveying from both ports a quantity of frozen meat and fish in her refrigerating chamber, has arrived safely in the London Docks. The success of the experiment was perfect. The freezing machinery acted throughout most satisfactorily, and the temperature of the chamber never, even at the time of the greatest heat when the vessel was passing through the Bed Sea, exceeded 24deg. The passengers during the whole voyage were supplied with frozen meat, which was pronounced excellent. The residue will be taken by the steamer Orient for the outward voyage. Mr Gladstone has announced that the Government, while prepared to consider ony amendments that may be proposed with a view of improving the working of the Irish Land Bill, will not entertain any proposal involving an alteration of the main principles of the measure.

Her Majesty the Qneen will hold a grand volunteer review at Windsor next month. 51,000 volunteers are expected to bo present on the occasion.

A brutal outrage has been perpetrated at Galway. A magistrate who had given offence to the Land League by the performance of his judicial duties was savagely attacked by a band of miscreants, seriously maltreated and left half murdered. Great indignation has been caused from its being known that the magistrate had applied to the Government to protect him in the discharge of his duties, and had been refused.
