HOME RULE FOR IRELAND.

THE NATIONALIST VOLUNTEERS. HI RESTRICTION OF ARMS. [Bv Eleotbio Telegraph—Copyright] : Times and Sydney Sun Services. London, July 11. The Nationalist volunteers in the South of Ireland bitterly resent the Restriction of 'arms by the proclamation. They declare they will not only get rifles, but will carry them in public. THE TWO FACTORS. The Westminster Gazette, in a leader on Ulster, says: "From the beginning there has been two separate factors. One was a quiet and honest opposition, and the other a purely political campaign which was set in motion by army wire pullers, stage managers, advertisers, and cinematographers, who exploit and vulgarise whatever is sincere in the attitude of the covenanters."

MELBOURNE ORANGEMEN. "WILL FIGHT IF NECESSARY." ' (Received 8.45 a.m.) Melbourne, July 12. An Orange meeting resolved to send the following cable to the British Government: "An overflowing and profoundly enthusiastic demonstration implores Britain not to imperil the Empire. Ulster must repeat 'No Surrender!' There are army and navy men enrolled here to the number of at least 250, who are prepared to leave Australia and fight for Ulster if necessary."

MUST BE PREPARED. (Received 8.40 a.m.) London, July ,12. Sir Edward Carson inspected 2000 volunteers at Larne. He asked them to have confidence in their leaders. He saw no evidence of peace. Ulstermen must be prepared while the shadows remained. Unless they secured peace with honor, there must be war with honor. "MUST KEEP THEIR TEMPERS." Mr Birrell, at a Liberal garden party at Bristol, said the situation was grave, but he was never more sanguine that a reasonable settlement would be reached. They must keep their tempers and bo fully determined they were not going to leave the fruits of victory. The Liberals would only be satisfied if they secured for the Irish people Home Rule.
