HOME RULE.
■ * & . [Special to Pbess Association.! LONDON, Apbil 7. Mr Gladstone's speech on the second reading of the Home Eule Bill evoked little interest. Only two hundred members were present, and a few strangers occupied the galleries. He stated that the autonomous Colonies did not pay a farthing to the Imperial exchequer for defence. The Irish members are opposed to the proposal to make Ireland pay a quota towards war charges. An active Unionist campaign is going on in the Provinces. Speeches have been delivered by Mr Goschen at Newcastle, Sir H. Jameß at Bury, the Duke of Devonshire at Bristol and Lord B. Churchill at Liverpool. The last named declared that the Home Rule Bill was knavish, thievish and tyrannical. Mr Hogan, M.P. for Limerick, has given notice to ask Mr Gladstone whether the Government will legislate in the direction of prohibiting the display of Orange emblems as is done . in Australia.
