PKR PRMS AHHOCIATIOI*.

LORD SALISBURY AT BELFAST.

( Received May 26,11 a.m.)

. London, May 25. Speaking at Belfast Lord Salisbury said the House of Lords would save England from the black and irrepar able disgrace of selling the loyalists. The House of Lords was impregnable as representing England and the Irish loyalists, and there was no power in the constitution which could override the resistance of the Lords. Further, that while English and Scottish tfpinion kept up to the mark the accursed Bill would never pass. They must avoid violence and riot. The country would never allow the insane eccentricity of a single statesman to cut. the Empire in two. With regard to Ulster's resistance to Home Rule he entirely agreed with Mr Balfour. Students with lighted torches escorted Lord Salisbury to the railway station. (Received May 26, 11.40 a.m.) Lord Salisbury insisted that Home Kulewaß Mr Gladstone's own work, and not the steady growth of public opinion. The provisions for the supre macy of the Imperial Parliament and veto by the Crown were alike worth less. It was impossible to amend the Bill.

BRITISH MINISTER AT BRUSSELS.

POET LAUREATE.

The press predicts that Mr Lewis Morris will be appointed Poet Laureate.

RUSSIA AND INDIA.

The Simla torrespondent of the "Times" says it is reported that Russia has sent sixteen hundred men to Murghab, a fort in the Pamirs. It is also believed she intends to move troops into the valley of the Oxusduring the summer. Lord Roberts, replying to the toast of bis health at a banquet given by the Chamber of Commerce, said England was gradually being brought face to face with Russia on th» Indian fron tier. The position involved «n in crease in military strength, for they must impress the natives with a sense of British rule, and hold reinforcements ready.

I topped the market with a splendid line of two and four-tooth wethers sent for ward by Mr John Corbitt. A grand line of lambs bred by the same owner realised 12s Id. There were a lot of good sheep yarded, and in nearly every case pur chasers were found with prices Ho suit vendors.

Horse Market.—At Bullock's Arcade on Saturday, I held my usual weekly hone sale The attendance *as small, and although there was a large number of horses entered very little business re sulted* Old horses were almost unsale able, and even for young ones a con siderable concession had to be made to affect sales.
