Sir Charles Dilko, at Chelsea, strongly protested against tho assumption of many Conservative orators that they had the Greater Britain idea all to themselves. It was not to bo inferred, ho said, that because ho and his fellow-Radicals declined to swallow all the crude nostrums which Prim roso Leaguers and other people insisted on cramming downtheir throats, that they were indifferent to the general principle of Im perial unity which was common to both political parties. Pride in England beyond tho seas, ho declared, is not, and never will bo tho aopanago of any particular party in tho Stato, Tho right hon. gentleman then proceeded to criticiso In an unfavourable tono tho proposals for colonial representa tives in tho English Parliament, and for the creation of a Colonial Council. The latter plan, he declared, would be far more likoly to split the empire to pieces than to federato it, and ho expressed the opinion that the presentstateof things was gradually working towards a feasible solution of tho Imporial federation problem. Lord Rosobory, at Sheffield, mado a sarcastic allusion to tho lecture which Mr Howard Vincent delivered at that town a short time ago. Tho noblo lord remarked that him self and Mr Vincent wero examples of the different efforts produced upon different pooplo by travelling round tho world. He had s-tartcd on his tour a Liberal, and after seeing something of the young democracies which we had founded in the Southern seas, ho camo back more in sympathy with them, and moro of a Liberal than ho was bo foro ; while Mr Vincent porformed the samo tour, and came back so littlo in sympathy with tho Liboral aspirations of tho now world that ho had bocomo a Tory. The noblo lord then proceeded to advocate a scheme of State-aided emigration to be worked in conjunction with those Colonial Governments which desire to promote im migration. This subject, however, ho only touched upon briefly, but promised to ro turn to it at a future timo.

Now Gun Carriage

A trial was made this week at Shoobury noss of un Sin. 12J-ton gun, with disappear ing carriage, which has beon constructed by Sir Win. Armstrong and Co. for tho Victorian Government. The gun is mounted and loaded in a pit several feet bolow tho lino of tiro. It is then raij-od by hydraulic pressuro above the pit, and iircd by oloctiicity. Tho force of tho recoil euliicos to ovorcomo tho hydraulic power which koops tho gun in position, and causos it to sink back into tho pit. Tho Shoeburyness trials wero mado partly with a reduced charge of 7f>lb,, and a conical shot of ISOlb,, and partly with the full chargo of 1001b. Tho oxports present pronounced them to bo porfectly successful. Tho oxponsos of tho oxporimonts are shared botweon tho Victorian and New South Wales Govern ments, tho latter ol which had ordered from Sir William Armstrong two carriages similar to the one which liunju-t beon tested.

It, transpired at Cork that 100 hoad of cattlo belonging to a boycotted landlord in county Clare had beon booked by tho Clyde Siiipping Company for conveyance to Glasgow. Tho local cattle dealers drew the attention of the Company's manager to tho fact, and stated that they would withdraw their cattle then on board tho Steamer if tho beasts of tho landlord woro forwarded. The manager replied that ho had no legal power to refuso them, and later in tho evoning tho stoamcr loft with the boycotted cuttle and thoso of tho dealors on board. At a general mooting of tho Cork Defence Union, it was decided to appoint competent persons to attend fairs in the southof Iroland, to purchase all boycotted cattlo, and to for ward them to England by the steamers of tho Cork Stoampackot Company. At tho eamo meeting it was decided lo form a travelling forge to go through the county to shoe tho horses ol boycotted portons whoro tho local ninths have refused. Tho Uungarvan brunch of Iho National League havo issued notices warning masters of foxhounds to discontinue huntiug in tho district. It is mid that tho notico is principally directed againt the master ot the Cloncoskraiuo pack, Sir Nugent Humble, Bart., who, it is stated by tho Nationalists, was ono of the justices recently sitting in Potty So.-sions when a Leaguer was sentenced to seven days' imprisonment for assaulting a man who was assisting a boycotted farmer.

By direction from Dublin Castlo, tho con stabulary authorities in Limorick have within tho past fow days taken active mea sures to put down boycotting in thoso dis tricts in which the practico is roportcd to bo rifo. At Murroe seven farmers were prosocutod for boycotting a family named Griffin, who have rocontly taken possession of a farm in the neighbourhood, from which tho previous tenant had boon evicted for non-payment of tent.

An extraordinary scene occurred at a funeral noar Macroon. A farmer named Sullivan was being interred, and ovor 2,000 people had assoinbled to witness tho core raony. The deceased was a relative of Mr

■loromiah Hogarty, tho boycotted trader at Mill stroot, and Mr Hcgarty attendod tho funeral. Tho moment MrHegarty's pres ence was obsorved, all tho pooplo, including the two clergymon, left tho demonstration, and only the immediate rolntivcs of the de ceased remained,

Prosecution of a Parnollito Candidate.

A prosecution has boon commenced by tho Government against Mr J. Douglas Pyne, of Lisfinny Castle, county Waterford, a farmer on the ostato of tho Duke of Dovon shiro, who was at the County 'Waterford Convention selected as tho Parnollito candi date for tho Western Division of county Waterford. Tho prosocution is for a speech doliverod by him at a National Loaguo Demonstration noar Cloninel a fow weoks ago, in which ho is roportcd to havo advo cated tho extermination of landlords and land-grabbers from tho country, as being tho supporters of British rulo and oppression of tho Irish people.

Mr J, H. Parnoll and his Tenants,

At tbo Armagh Quarter Sessions, Mr J. Howard Parnoll, of New York, brothor of the mombor for Cork, had sovoral cases of ojectment against tenants for nonpayment of rent. In the case of ono man named Hughes thero was sovon years' rent due.

Expulsion of Austrlans from Prussia,

In the Lower House of the Reichsrath, Count Taaffe replied to the interpellation in reference to the expulsion of Austrian subjects from Prussia. He stated that the Austrian Government asked Prussia for explanations, and was informed in reply that th* Prussian Government regarded ting

An old inhabitant of Wcdnetbury, named Edward Hampson, a coachsmith, has just come into possession of £SOO,OOO fortune, i under tho will of his undo, Adam Roades, a cattle-dealer, of Now Zealand. Rondos, , who was a Wednesbury man, left his native j town 53 years ago, almost pennilose, and since that time he has acquired his wealth ! by means of cattle-farming. The will was j brought to Wednesbury' recently by an | agent from New Zealand, and is now in tho possession of Hampson, whoso nephews will immediately sail for New Zealand to act on his behalf. Forbidden Ground. At Met/, a lieutonant of German infantry, in plain clothes, having persisted in walking on tho glacis of the fortifications, near tho Esplanade, at a part where tho public are not allowed, was warned by the sontry to leavo the ground. The officer paid no attention to the summons, and the soldier, , after three cautions, shot him dead on the spot. Tho affair has caused much painful excitement in Metz, as the officer had been married scarcely a twelve-month.

PROFESSOR KIRK ON AUCK LAND FRUITS.

The Exhibits in New Zealand ExhibiMon.

The following interesting report on the Auckland fruit forwarded to tho New Zealand Industrial Exhibition has boen received by the Gardeners' Horticultural Socioty : —

New Zealand Industrial Exhibition

Auckland Fimjit

"In this section, ontrios have been ro ccivul from nineteon exhibitors residing in tho Auckland Provincial District, and from ono in Hokitika, The total number of dishes or samples is ono hundred and seventeen.

"The fruits comprise oranges, lemons nnd shaddocks, guavas, shell almonds, apples and pears ; with very fow exceptions thoy aro of excellent quality and attractive appearance. " Apples unquestionably constitute the chief feature of the section, and boing exhibited during mid-winter, the relative valuo of tho different varieties for keeping purposes is demonstrated to ovory visitor, The various collections comprise kinds

adapted tor general use, others specially suited for dessert, or for cooking purposes, but in ovory caso the special value is com bined with tho proporty of keeping far into tho winter. A point deserving special notico is tho largo number of varioties ex hibited in proportion to the total number of ontries. Eloven exhibitors have contributed sixty-six varieties. Of these, only one Stone Pippin is found in five col lections. Another variety, Kentucky Red Stroak, is represented in four; Stunner Pippin in throo; hino vari otios, Monte Carlo, Newtown Pippin, Rome Beauty, Winter Quoining, Prido of Australia, Hockott's Sweet, Winter Maje tin, Groat Unknown, Lipscombe's Late, and Norfolk Reaufin, appear in two collections, leaving ovor fifty varieties represented i.i singlo collections only. Each colloetioii contains varioties not represented in tho otliors ; somo of those are well-known kinds and of recognised merit, others uro of local origin, or havo not coino into general cultivation.. Without attempting to givo

a completo list, a fow of each category may bo mentionod -.—Spanish lleinotte belongs to tho first, Hokianga Seedling to the second ; Doth aro excellent kinds, exhibited by Mr Hobbs. Mr Eeloe's collection con tains Pilgrim, a medium-sized apple »f excellent llavour, said to bo absolutely

blight-proof. Mr Lippiatt's collection included Edward .lupp and Morgan's Seed ling. The larco collection exhibited by Mr 11. E. Sharp comprised Sharp's V\ inter,

Lippialt's Seedling, and other varieties equally worthy of moution. Mr Gent exhibited Ohinemuri, picked on tho 9th of April, and Mr Wilson forwarded a dish of Puiunure Seedling, a protty fruit, possess ing exceptionally good keeping properties. "A collection uf twelve lino dishes, exhibited by Mr Bluck, of Hokitika, is per haps tho most attractive collection shown in point of appearance. Tho fruits aro of oven size, and most varieties aro highly coburod, but in point of llavour scarcely equal to others. It is tho only collection which con tains Northern Spy and Cornish Gilli ilower, popular kinds which in tho north are rarely to be seen in good condition later than tho middle or closeof Juno." " Whothor considered with regard to their adaptability for keeping, excellence of quality, or attractivo appoaranco, growers in Now Zoaland have a largo choice of varieties capable of profitable cultivation, not only for home use, but for export.

Apples aro imported into Now Zoaland from Tasmania, but the superiority of local fruit is yearly rendering the importation less prolilablo to thoso engaged in it. They are also imported from California, and when arriviug in the period between the exhaus

tionof the old crop and tho maturation of tho

now, caunot i:c any way interfere with the interests of local growers, who will be able to rociprocato by exporting to California from March to July. During these months, however, a still moro profitable trade may

bo carried on between the colony and Great Britain. Apples arriving in England be tween April and August would find a ready salo at remunerative prices, and it is grati fying to learn that planting with a view of supplying these distant markets has already boon commenced in Auckland.

" Citraceous Fruit: —Sevonteen entries of oranges, lemons, and shaddocks havo beon made by too exhibitors. Most of tho vario ties aro of good quulity, although in some cases of small size,

"Tho finest and best-flavoured oranges aro thoso included in the genoral collection of fruit oxhibited by Mr Hobbs. They leave but little to bo desired with regard either to size or quality. Tho oranges exhibited by Mossrs Culllor, Clommy, and l-ioyburn, of Whangaroi, approach closoly in flavour.

" A small branch, bearing 04 oranges, was forwarded by Mr Larkins, but un fortunately, tho fruite became detached

before thoy wore unpacked. Thoy are of good flavour, but rather small, as might be anticipated from thoir profusion. All the lemons exhibited aro good, marketable fruit, of a quality that would fmd ready ea'e at fair prices.

" Bhaddockß aro oxhibited by Mr Mac donald and Mr Heskoth.

" The collection of citraceous fruits is scarcely sufficient to give a fair idea of the extent to which their cultivation is carried in tho colony. Neither citrons nor limes are exhibited, although both are grown in tho Auckland district. Limes grown by tho Hon. Sir Frederick Whitaker, on the shores of Lake Tukapunn, havo been analysed by Mr J. A. Pond, with the follow ing results: — Specific gravity of juico ... ... 1015' ID Poretntage of citrio acid .. .. 813 Percentage of ash -627 Theoe results compare favourably with those obtained in other countries, and show that the lime might be profitably cultivated in tho northern districts, for the manufac ture of citric acid, tho domand for which is constantly expanding. '' Pears :—Two varieties wero included in Mr Hobbs's collection of fruit; one tho deli cate flavoured dessort pear, Gratiolo do Jersey ; the other a tine stewing pear and long kooper, Morel or Kissing Point. " Shell almonds were exhibited by Mr Koyburn, of Whangaroi They wero of large size, but tho shell was'eomowhat thick, although the almonds wero of good flavour. " Passion fruits wore exhibited by Messrs Ward and Lovy, of Wh.ngarei. " Mrs Bloomfield, of Ponsonby, exhibited guavas, and homo-mrde guava jelly. Collection of Fruit. "Mr R. Hobbs,' M.H.R., exhibited a good collection of rino lruit, comprising six dishes of apploß (Hokianga Seedling, Law ton and Stono Pippins, French Crab, Spanish Roinotte, Devonshire Russet), threo dishes of pears, ono of oranges, and one of lemons, all of excellent quality." • Entries.
