Last evening, at Aldershot, a large num- | ber ef the soldiers belonging to the 18th Royal Irish Regiment, together with Irish- men belonging to other corps, commenced a disturbance in a short street, hurrahing for old Ireland, and other eries, and flour ishing knob sticks. The few day provost- tried to secure some of the lead ing rioters, but were driven off. The roads being newly gravelled, the rioters had plenty of ammunition. The mounted police notified the camp, and the authorities ordered the first and second brigades into town. With fixed bayonets they attacked the rioters. Heads were broken, and windows smashed. The rioters were taken prisoners in great number. The town was in an uproar. The riot lasted nearly three heurs, It is attributed to drankenness. The Times thinks it possible that the Land Bill will be introduced before the Easter recess. The Times says it is confidently believed in well-informed quarters that the arrange- ments which Gen. Sir Evelyn Wood has been empowered to make with the Boers are stich as Parliament and the nation will approve.” We de not doubt that the Ministry have fully realized the necessity of insisting that the Transvaal shall remain subject to the paramount authority of the British Crown, not merely formally, but practically.” Bert, March 22. The Crewn Prince Frederick William will join the Prince and Princess of Wales here to-day, and proceed to St. Peters- burg with them. ~~ Paris, 22. A fatal railway accident teok place this morning near Condy Station from a collision between a train and an empty wagon left carelessly on the track, twenty persons were killed and injured. Loypox, March 22. The Post says: ‘“‘ We hear that Gladstone will propose to reduce the income tax from six pence to five pence in the pound, in his approaching financial statement in the Com- mons. Gladstone will take a trip to the Mediter- ranean during Easter recess. The race for the Lincoln Cup for two year old colts, fillies and geldings, five furlongs, was won by Rosberry’s bay filly; second place was secured by Lefevre’s colt ‘Bras De Fer;” and third place by J. R. Keene’s bay colt ** North Star.” Seven ran. The Lendon News understands that Gen. Woods .nain object in negotiating with the Boers was to obtain adequate guarantee for the just treatment of the natives, and that the chiet duty of the royal commissioner will be te devise measures for giving full effect to this policy. Avery important part of their work will be th- limitation of the Northern and East- ern frontiers of Transvaal whereby the tribes which the Boers have vainly tried to subjugate will either recover their independence or en- joy the protection of England. The British Re ident will be invested with the impertant function of the protection of the natives living within the territory. The Government have thus tried to procure justice for both races, i in the Ladies’ Department OWEN CONNOLLY & CO. ARE N@W SELLING OFF THE BALANCE OF THEIR FALL AND WINTE SLEARING-OUT PRICES.
