London, March 5. Lord Salisbury, [speaking at a banquet given by the Associated Chambers of Commerce, said that two dark shadows threatened the trade of Great Britain. One was the revival of protection, especially in France and America ; the other was the struggle between capital and labour at home. It was, however, useless to remonstrate. In his opinion, ail Eight Hours' Bill was impracticable. The shore unions in London have agreed to return to work, and remove the block. t Mr. Burns has tabled a motion opposing the statutory limitation of labour. Three thousand five hundred nonunionists are being employed at the London docks. Mr. Parnell is in favour of shortening the hours of labour by the establishment of Boards of Conciliation. Lord Salisbury favours the appointment of ! Messrs. Mann and Burns to seats on the Labour Commission, but his colleagues differ with him. ________
