THE QUEEN'S SPEECH.

Debate oa tho Address ln-Roply. (ISY CABLE-OJI'YKICIHT.)

LouuoN, January 28. In tho House of Lords laet night, in the dsbato on the Address in-Keply to tho Queen's Speech, Lord Salisbury etatod that the resignation of Lord Ran dolph Churchill was a loss to the Go ver.nment, and was due to a patriotic desire fcr economy in public ex ponees. The etop taken by Lord Kan dolph appeared to liia colleagues to bo eomewbat huaty, but il was hoped that the difficulty would not be a lasting ono. Lord Salisbury expiossod ploasare ut wel coming Mr (Jotchen into Iho ranka _ol the Ministry. Roforring to the foreign policy of tho Government, ho denied that England had sought to roatoro Princo Aloxander to tho Throno of Bulgaria. Her Maj.-'sty'a GovorumoLt wero not op posed to tho extension of Russian influence in Bulgaria, providod that this did not become a domination which woald be fatal to tho interests of Europe. Tho vast and increasing armaments of tho Continental Powers were a eource of danger to tho peace of Europe. This danger, however, had not beon lately increased. Both Lord Lyons, tho British Ambassador in Paris, and Sir Edwin Mnlot, Ambassador in Borlin, had declared that tho fooling in both cities was of a pacilic character. In the Houb3 of Commons, the Address in-Keply waß moved by Lord YVeymouth. In the coureo of hisßpeoch, Mr Gladstone endorsed tbo statement made by Lord Randolph Churchill, that tho estimates wero excessive for a genuinely peaceful policy. Ho attributed the plan of the cam paign adopted by the Irish Land League to tko absence of any provision ra&do by the Govornmont for tho relief of tho distress whiah at present prevailed in that inland. Mr \V. H. Smith, replying to Mr Glad stono, stated that Her Majesty's Govern ment wero not desirous of interfering in any foreigu complications, but would act in conformity with oxiating treaties. He in vited Mr Gladstone, as tho head of the National party, to co-operate with tho Go vernment to restore order in Ireland, With a viow to tho reform of local govern ment in that country, notico of a mossuro would bo givon. The Houeo of Commons shortly after wards adjourned.

OPERA HOUSE —Variety Enter tainment.

M2K KINKLE aud his combination of variety artistes gave last night in the Opera lloueo their opening entertainment before a largo and appreciative ' audience. The comic songs and ballad* elicits* considerable applause, and the etep- dancihg, sketches and funnvtsms were "reatly enjoyed. A laughter-provoking French pantomime, arranged by Max Kinkle, and entitled "Figaro," brought tho entertainment to a hilarious close. The. earn* programme will be presented to-night, and should infallibly draw a crowded houae.

Roferring to the removal of the "Fiji Timos" from Levuka, our Fiji correspon dent eaya:—" With tho commencement of the new year, Levuka sustained a sad blow to its proetigo and consequence in the re moval of the 'Fiji Times,' the leading journal of the colony, which now iasuea from tho proprietor's office in Sava, erstwhile tho office of the ' Suva Times/ which journal it has incorporated. For several yeara past the business of tho old town has been dwindling, and its proas alone has kept ib prominontiy before the outside public. But since tho hurricane in March last tho declino has been very rapid, and it now Btands as one of the many modern illustra tions of Goldsmith's 'Deserted Village^ with a full claim, tfio necowary changes being mado, to; B& apostrophised as • Auburn ! Loveliest1 Village of- the Plain.' Levuka has, of course, felt tho full effect of tho wave of depression which has of late years swept over Fiji, in common wjHb/ other parts of the world. But the princi-' pal cause of its decadence lies in the re- moval of the seat of Government to Suva,, or rather in. the establishment of Suva* as a new, and totally unnecessary,, centre of population, for the purpose" of* making it tho soat of Government.. What the removal of theEeat of Government, hae meant may be gathered from the fol» lowing :- It compelled a division, which. meant no increase of trade, but just doubled* the cost of itss transaction. At the time of the remove the capital valae of Levuka was eet at from £250,000 t £300,000, Now property has only a nominal value. In the meantime an equal sum of public money has beon epent on making a town at Suva, on tho plea that Levuka was too email for the requirements of a largo city. Thus half a million of money has been sacrificed ; tho European popula tion of the group is one-third lesß to day than when tho remove took place ; no one has profited by this waste of money ; but ( on the contrary, the people are impoverished and the Government is bankrupt."
