the object of the society being to fight the Land League, not to take part in domestio quarrois.
"ANOTHER FAMILY AFFAIR.
The next case was also a family affair- namely, a father-in-law, trying to evict his son-in-law, who a year ago had evicted hitn. Mr. Goddard refused to interfore, acousing the Sheriff of trying to use him and his association for purposes foreign to their objects. The next case was in the town of Necker. It was not agrarian, being simply a matter of inability on the part of a shopkeeper to pay rent. The eviction was quickly carried out. The Guards marched back to camp, disgusted with their ignoble work, wot and hungry. Very. few people were gathered to witness any of the evictions. There were never more than fifty persons present. No priests up- peared on the sceno, and there was no ex- citement whatever, the nature of the evic- tions being so entirely different from that of previous days.
THE GUARDSMEN HOOTED, People gathered in the village streets, on several occasions women and children hooted, and on each occasion about twenty polico charged them with batons and beat every one who happened to be in the way, All who hooted ran away, while many quiet and peaceful men who were talking in the gtreots were badly beaten. Thus ended the last campaign of the Coldstream- Guards, famous at Waterloo and in the Crimea. Upon their battle flags must be added, "Jim Kennedy's holding" and "Widow Mulcahy,s acre." But when it is considered that 400 of her Majesty's troops and 300 police spend two days in ovicting Irish tenants the situation in Ireland is indeed extraordinary.
Secretary Forster Severely Scored at a Land Meeting.
New York, June 6.-The Herald's London special of June 5th says: At a land meeting near Dublin to-day Messrs. Sexton and flealy spoke to about 4,000 people. The only remarkable incident was a refence by Mr. Healy to Secretary Forster's challenge to him to repeat in Ireland what he said in Parliament. Mr. Healy said he might say that he was there chiefly to reply to the challenge issued to him by "Buckshot Forster." The gentle- man had challenged him to "come to Ire- land," and his answer to Mr. Forster was, "Here I am." Although he was present in response to that challenge, which he considered a most insolent and truculent nct, it was as if a man in full armor had challenged a man naked and defenceless to mortal combat. He would remind Se- cretary Forster that there were some countries to which it would be safe to challenge him to come; there were other countries where the code of honor still prevailed, where gentlemen stood on a more equal footing than they did in Iro- land. If he (Healy) thought that this gallant Yorkshireman would cross the channel to other lands he would extend every courtesy to him. Mr. Healy con- cluded by improvising some doggerel lines, as follows:
There was an old prophecy found in a
bog.
That Ireland would be ruled by an ass
und a dog;
Now this old prophecy has come to pass, For Cowper's a dog and Forster's an ass, To-morrow is Bank holiday, and all the troops in Dublin have been ordered to bo confined to their barracks to prevent a disturbance. This order has caused great dissatisfaction.
Suppressing Agitation in Spain.
New York June 6.-The Herald's Mad- rid special says: The army of occupation under Marshal Queslala, 30,000 strong, will be kept up in the Basque provinces, as the Cabinet possesses information that a powerful organization of Carlists exists

Commercial Treaty with France..
LONDON, June 19.-In the Commons to- day, a motion by Monk (Liberal), that no commercial treaty with France be satisfac- tory which does not reduce duties, was carried by 77 to 44. The Under Foreign Secretary in debate agreed almost entirely with the terms of the motion, but depre- cated its boing pressed at present.
A Doomed Monarch. Berlin, June 8th.-Advices from St. Petersburg say that the Socialistic olement scarcely takes pains to conceal its belief that the Emperor will be assassinated within the next thirty days. They assert that the moment it becomes apparent that no reforms are intended he will be killed.

LATEST COMMERCIAL
INTELLIGENCE.
Wednesday, July 13th, 1881.
One o'clock P.M.
We have to report from the Shara Market transactions of quite an im- After going to portant character. press yesterday-thore was a grand rash both on Banks and Docks, and at grad- ually increasing prices a large num ber of shares chauged hands. Bank shares rose from 105 to 106, and this morning we have traced a few sales at 106, but sellers hold out for a higher price, so the cash transactions have not been very extensive. A good deal of time transfers were booked yester- day, and we know of nearly 600 shares which were negotiated at 109 for the end of August. The Dock Company's stock more thau maintained its position in public favor, as, after sellers had been tired out at 56, buyers offered 57, and although a few sales took place at that quotation holders soon cried content, and there are now uone of tho shares to be had unless at an advance on 57. A fair number-of-time transactions have also to be recorded, from 150 to 200 shares changing bands at 59 for the end of August.
Steamboats have at last made a move, over 100 shares at 31 premium finding purchasers yesterday afternoon and this morning, and there is still a slight demand for the stock at that price. Hotels are quiet at par, and we may still quote Sugars at 175 nom- inal, although we think the voice of the charmer would easily induce holders to

part" at 170. As a matter of fact, regarding this particular stock, any quotation at present has a misleading tendency, as there have actually been no transfers effected for days, and both holders and would-be purchasers seem afraid to open the ball.
