(SPECIAL TO SYDNEY MOBNINO HERALD.) London, Oct'l. The murder of the Viscount Montnorris has increased the feeling of terror in Ireland; and the language of the Leaguers has aroused a demand for repressive legislative measures. ' Sir Charles Dilke (Foreign Under-Secre-tory) is about to proceed to Paris, to rearrange the treaty of commerce between England and France/ - A week ago Mr Gladstone foresaw the present aituation at Dulcigno, and proposed a naval demonstration at Stamboul— forcing the Hellespont if necessary. He even named the ships and regiments to be selected for the service. Germany, however, refused, and the proposal was coldly received by the Queen. There are rumors of a tension between the Court and the Cabinet. The Times, referring to a letter written by Mr Sheridan, of Adelaide, which urges capitalists' — before advancing loans to the colonies — to enquire what proportion it is intended to expend on immigration, says that Australian indebtedness, tried by any statistical test, is a mere bagatelle, and that< the colonies, when prosperous, will attract immigrants. Referring to New Zealand, however, the Times says the state of things there was not equally favorable. It* debt really embarrasses it, and the colony is now bound to show its ability to pay its way for some years to come without further borrowing.
