m mm warn Defeat of Mr. Gladstone by the Tories and Unionists. Views of a leading Irish Home Eider Upon the Eesulfc Mr. Gladstone telegraphed upon the 9th in reference to the Irish question: \Wales and Scotland have seen their duty quickly. Eng- land will have to learn hers, but slowly and painfully.\ A. London dispatch of the 9th says: The Conservatives are still carrying the Eng- lish counties by sweeping majorities. The Unionists succeeded to-day in retaining Inverness Burghs, Forfarshire, Falkirk: Burghs and Hartlepoohwhere they re-elected Thomas Richardson. The Unionist gains in Liberal seats is 88. The total Unionist- Conservative poll up to 6 p. jr. was 1,016,251 and the total Gladstonian poll 040,509. At midnight the total number of Conservatives and Unionists returned was 819 and of Glad- Btonians 210. The Conservatives are confi- dent of electing 820 candidates without Union- ist assistance. The count at present is as fol- lows: Conservatives 285 Unionists 54 Gladstoaians 188 Parnellites 72 Total 529 This leaves 141 seats to be contested. There is no longer any hope entertained by the Gladstoaians of doing bettor in the elections to como than they have done in the past. Mr. Herbert Gladstone, speaking at the Liberal Club this evoning.said it was strongly probable that there would be another elco- tiou within twelve months. Mr. Schnad- horst writes: \The tide ha5 turned Conserva- tive, but there will bo another election within six months.\ Another London dispatch of the 9th says: •'The now Parliament approaches so near us now that, like the British files at Bunker Hill, we can see the whites of their eyes. The Tories wiil not have a majority. To-night they have a total of 204 members, with 140 more elections to take place. Of these the Tories carried last autumn 20 English, 5 Scotch, and 7 Irish constituencies. If they do so now it will give them a total of 206 menibors, which is 39 short of half the House. If the tide continues to run as it has hitherto thoy will bo likely to gain 15 seats, but this will leave them 24 short of half. But of the remaiuing vacan- cies 10 are in Yorkshire, i in Cornwall, 5 in Cheshire, 4 in Dorset, 4 in Derby and 4 in Cumborland^-all Gladstone strongholds, and so are most of the others. 'She Tory gains are more likely to num- ber 10 or under. Nothing; but a iniritclocaii give them a clear majority. Tlnis Mr. Chamberlain will occupy in the next House of Commbtis the position of arbiter of Min- istries, which Mr. Paruol hell in the last Parliament, a situation which will su.t his maliguant genius perfectly.\ Mr. Thomas Power O'Connor, a leading Irish Home Rule member of Parliament said in an interview: \We are not at all disheartened, and can afford to wait for what must certainly come. This is not a defeat, but ouly a check, and homo rule will come sooner thau some people expect. \The Tories are capable of anything while in ollice, but this time their pledges are too recent and altogether too distinct to permit their dabbling in home rulo legislation. If they did they would bo unable to propose a measure that would satisfy us, and we won't accept anything loss than Mr. Gladstone offered. \Another six months will complete the work which neods to bo done, and wo shall try again. The Literals are not yet suffi- ciently educated, henco their fatal absten- tion from the polls; but we will educate them, and then wo will have homo rule. Tho Irish electors in Great Britain have voted loyally for the Libornl can- didates and tho polling lists show that 97 per cent, of them exorcised their right of suf- frage. Some of tho successful Liberals would have been in a protty predicameat had it not been for the Irish votes cast for them. Tho organization of tho Conservatives is superior to that of tho Liborals, and their discipline is exellent. Speakiug of the Con- servative organization, I may tell you that I intend to introduce in the next House a Mil to suppress tho Primrose League, which, with all its patriotic pretentions, is really a league formed for purposes of the most dis- graceful iutimidation of electors, and wheso objects are faithfully carried out.\ A KEMAEKABLE KAFT.

The steamer Alameda, which has just ar* rived at San Francisco from Australia; brings particulars of the fearful volcanic eruDtions in New Zealand last month, and which are among the most destructive in the world's history. Tho first reports of the vol. canic disturbances came from Tauragua, in the Auckland lake district, The natives of that village were sharply awak- ened from sleep at 2 o'clock in the morning by repeated vivid flashes of lightning', which continued at rapid intervals up to fouro'clock, when a tremendous earth- quake occurred, followed quickly by others. The shocks were so violent that the people jumped from their beds, and, paralyzed with terror, fled for their lives in their night clothes, making no effort to save or take with them anything except their children; The earthquakes continued to follow one another in quick succession up to 7 A; ji., when a leaden cloud was observed advance ing from the south, spreading out until it covered the sky. Whenstill moving it burst with thesound of thunder, and shortly after showers of fine dust began fulling. Accounts from other points state that Mount Tara- mera was the first rblc'auo to break forth, and hardly were flames seen issuing from its crater than the entire Paersa range of mountains belched forth in sympathy, hurling flames of burning lava andstoues over the surrounding country. Forthe.first time in tradition the extinct volcano or Rtiapeha was awakened into activity. The entire • country over an extent of one hundred and twenty miles long by twenty in breadth was nothing but a mass of flame and hot, crumbling soil, which in places rose to the height of four thousand feet, capped at the highest point by tho Tekopha Geysers, said to have been tho grandest in the world. During all this time showers of dust continued to fall until it became so dense as to make day dark as night, and not uutil the second day did the dust cease falling. It was noticed that the dust emitted a strong sulphurous smell. Numerous small native villages.were totally destroyed. Wairsa was covered ip thedebt$ii of ten feet with dust and ashes,-; RaMomai. hana was completely \engulfedi'as.were also .some other small- villages^ -H!fentj^6iie-,HDii:,..' 66a!(are;&no.wftfc*aYe:^ \vh6iir '••'ivers, several .

One old' Maori chief at Ratarna was dug out alive after having been buried in ashes 101 hours. Every effort was made to save the lives of others, but in most cases where bodies were found they were dead. At the date of the departure of the Ala- meda from Auckland the volcanoes were still very active and the temperature of the hot lakes was increasing.
