Summary of News.

London, December 28. Mr Parnell's plan of the campaign for tho coming session has been made known. The Irish party in the House of Commons is to be divided into no committees, but each will bo,, charged with a different portion of a common task, Some will under take tho organisation of tho Irish con stituepcies, and others will work up Irish vote 3iv English and Scotch constituencies ; others again will form a Bill Committee to elaborate Irish measures, while a chosen band willhavo the special duty of harrassing tho Government by questions and obstruc tive tactics in overy possible way. The old Land League is to be revived in Ireland by the establishment of local organisers. Mr Healey has proposed a scheme of locol seU governmont for Ireland of the most Radical character, and an attempt is to be made to obtain further land legislation in the direction of still further benefiting the ffrmers. The Parnellitos will opposo the London Government Bill unless tho Corporation is compelled to sell its Irish estates at a valuation fixed by the Lands Commission. The Parnellites propose to hold further Nationalist meetings in certain towns in the north of Ireland, including a great one at Dromoro on January 1. The Orange men declare that they will prevent the rebel manifestations. The Grand Master of tho Orangemen at Tyrone has warned the Viceroy of the danger of permitting these Nationalist invasions of loyal pro vinces. The French are continuing tho bombard ing of tho open ports at Madagascar, and destroying a largo amount of property be longing to British residents, but inflicting little injury on tho natives. Mr William Hay, believing that the wants and aspirations of tho colonies are not proporly put before Parliament, suggests that Canada, tho Cape, and each of the Australian colonies should have an oppor tunity of making their wants known in the House of Lords, by tho bestowal of a life peerage upon an accredited representative from each colony if they so desire. Tho colonial Prime Minister through the Governor would recommend a person for the honour. A h're occurred in the German Jews Sclioo'•house at Constantinople, causing the death of 19 children.

Hewitt has resumed command of the British fiquadron at Suakim, and his ships will undertake the defenco of the town. The admiral lias also promised to send a gunboat to protect Massowah, threatened by the Abyssinians. Tho garrison of Khar toum is raised to 4,000 by tho arrival of I,iJ)O reinforcements. Sinkftt and Tokat still hold out. It is believed that tho

English Government has resolved to leave tho Soudan to its fate, and that British troops will only intervene to support tho Khedive if the Mahdi threatens Egypt proper. An earthquake shock was felt at Lisbon on tho morning of the 22nd, and was iol lowed shortly by a second shook, lasting $2 seconds, and accompanied by a suL tcrranean rumbling. The entire popula tion awoke jn alarm, and there was a great

panic among the Inhabitants In the narrow streets at Setubal. The inhabitants were so alarmed that .they rushed to the soa shore. The French press U jubikut at the success in taking Sontny. They now oppose mediation, and counsel vigorous prosecu tion of the war in Tonquin. The Pans papers begin to speak of a French claim for pecuniary indemnity from tho Chinese Government in conse quence ot China's aggressive attitude on the Tonquin question, and declare that if the presence of Chinese troops at Sontay is proved/France will have an incontestable right to demand an indemnity. The seizure of some point of Chinese territory us ' o material guarantee for tho payment of in demnity is also spoken of.
