(Continued from page 2.) \ proposed to fix at eight years, the term o£ the Aisembly being a lower one. The constituencies C lof the new Council woulci "be ('associated with) a value above £20 rent, arid that figure would secure an aggregate constituency approaching 17,000 persons. With regard to the popular Assembly the Bill left the number of members at 103 and fixed the term at five years. In order to meet what was called the deadlock, the Bill provided that where a Bill had been adopted by the Assembly more than once, and where there had .been an interval between the two adoptions o£ either two years, or else marked by a dissolution of Parliament, then upon the second adoption the two Assemblies might be required to meet, and the fate of the Bill would be decided in the General Assembly. All appeals were to be to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, and nob to the Privy Council and the House of Lords, and must be on the initiative of either the Viceroy or the Secretary of State. Two Exchequer Judges would be appointed under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom for the purpose mainly of financial business and such business as was Imperial, and it was provided that for six years all Judges should be appointed as they were now. The right hon. gentleman next stated, amid cheers from his supporters and ironical laughter from

the Opposition, that the first Tuesday in September had been selected as the most convenient day for the meeting of the new Legislature in Ireland. With regard to the Constabulary, it was proposed to abolish the force gradually. During the period of transition it would be "under the control of the Viceroy as the representative of the Crown, and

it would be eventually replaced by a force owing itß existence to the Irish, authority. Adverting next to the retention of the Irish members at Westminster, he said he had never regarded it as vital to the Bill, though it was undoubtedly a very weighty detail, and he still adhered to the opinion that it would pass the wit of man to devise a plan which should be free from practical objections. After reviewing at considerable length the arguments for and against the retention, the right hon. gentleman said it was proposed that Ireland should be represented in the House of Commons by 80 members

with limited powers of voting. First ' of all, they would be excluded from voting upon any motion or bill expressly confined to Great Britain ; secondly, they were not to vote for any tax not levied in Ireland, nor for any appropriation of money otherwise than for Imperial services — the schedule to the B'll naming the services — nor on motions

or leaolutions exclusively affecting

Great Britain, or things or persons therein. "With reference, however, to the first restriction, it seemed to the Government that there should be some way of raising the question whether or not the Bill or motion ought to be extended to Ireland, and therefore Irish members would not be excluded from votingYor a motion " incidental to " 'such Bill or motion. As to the question of finance, the keynote was to be found in the provision that there was to be one system of legislation for all the kingdoms in regard to it. This might be considered as taxing legislation or regulative legislation. Under the former head might be included Customs duties, Excise duties, the Post Office and Telegraphs. By adopting this scheme they were likely to avoid any clashing or friction between the agents of the Imperial and the Irish Governments, and a larger and more liberal transfer would be made to Ireland for the management of her own affairs than could be otherwise effected. The principle to which they were bound to give effect was that Ireland should bear her fair share of Imperial expenditure. The plan of a lump sum or " tribute " adopted in the year 1886 has disappeared in consequence of the retention of the Irish members; and the method of " quota " had not been now adopted. It was proposed to appropriate a particular fund and to say that that fund should be taken by us and should stand in fulfilment of all the obligations of Ireland for Imperial purposes. The amount mipht be represented at £2,430,000 gross a year, and subtracting from that sum £60,000 a year for collecting, £2,370,000 was the sum to be contributed, which was between the two points of 4 per cent, arda charge of 5 per cent. The Irish balance-sheet '

stood in this position. On the credit

side there would be a total of .£5,660,000, and on the other side the Irish Government would take over the whole of the civil Government charges of the country, except the Constabulary charges. These civil Government charges amounted to £3,210,000. Then there would bo the collection of the revenue and the postal charges, and two-thirds of the charge for the Constabulary which Ireland would be required to bear.

These things would bring the Irish

charge up to £5,160,000, and thus Ireland would have a clear surplus of

with which to start on her own account. By arriving at this settlement we should escape the impending and constantly accruing increment of Irish charges. In concluding his speech, which occupied two hours and a quarter in delivery,

the right hon. gentleman expressed

his deep conviction that the present proposal, or one closely resembling ifc, for the creation of a Legislative Chamber in Ireland would shortly become law.

Holloway's Ointment. — The great clima tic variatons which soldiers and sailors experience render them lmb c to a variety ofdiueasM the development of which is favoured by exposure and hardship- — often, it is to be fsarsd, by their own carJessnesß as well. Holloway's remedies afforded a safe and p.obv means of cure for those contitutional and local maladies which are so 4requently ensenderep by residence in unhealthy climates aud by incautious living. The Ointment is a wounderfully healing application, os it cleanses the Burface of foul sores and ulcers, soothes the throbbing and pain in ca*es of inflammation, and checks the progress of skin diseases. The Pjlls purify the blood, cleanse the liver, and remove all noxious matter from ll. e system.
