LONDON, 18th December.
The exaltamant throughout Great Britain on the subject of Home Rulo for Ireland continues without abatement Newspapers of all shades of opinion and politics are urging Gladstons to pank definitely in regard to his plans. The late Premier, in response to a telegram soat to-day asking him for information with reference to tho Irish Home Rule sobese, which it is reported ho has had under consideration for some time, replied as follows: "From my public declara tions at Edinburgh rapeling so Government of Ireland, yun will easily wan that I havo na further communication to snake,”
It will be remembered that in the speech re- ferred to, which he delivered on November 1st, he said in offoot, in reply to Parnall's cuggestion to give local self-government to Iraland, that when he learns through a constitutional channel what the wishes of Ireland are, he will give them attentive consideration, box that he cannot gain this knowledge until the new Parliament meste. G. J. Goschop, bawing bean siked to-day for an opinion on the reported sokams for home rule for Ireland, replied by talagraph that he main tained his hitherto expressed convictions against home rule, and could not comment on nay scheme
of that nature until such schone had been fully donlared.
The Marquis of Harlington declares that he has not approved the scholae, as had been inti- zouden in curtain quarters.

He says course a detail or two į may be incorrect, but a general contradiction is impossible, since my source of information was only degree Less authoritative than if Old- stone had told me the fact himself,
DUBLIN, 18th Doomber. The city of Armagh, in the province of Ulster, was to-day the point of an immense loyalist ds- monstration. The meeting adopted a resolution expressing the belief that a resort to home rule principles would be pertain, soenor or later, to eventuate in civil war and exhorting the loyalist party to go to the utmost length in resisting the efforts of the hoare rule advocates. The resoln- tions also commended the loyalists in Ireland to the sympathy of Pretestants throughout the British Kingdom, More that one of the speakers haasted, with a degree of carnestones that aroused repeated choors from the listozers, the loyalist party in Inland was ready to meet whatever is- sas might be presented. The Ulster Orange- men are ready to come to the front," one of the speakers amid great applonso sait, and when their services are wanted 60,000 men van readily be put into the field for active survice in defeace of loyalty to the Gavaznineul"
