April 16 Tbe London correspondent of the Mail and Kr- prtMt cabled the following Thursday evening: It hat been remarked that the day bicb Mr. Gladstone first fixed for the second reading of his home rule bill is tbe anniversary of the I hu-nix Park murder. Tbe Liberal associations throughout the country have been instructed to take immediate and active- measures to bring to the tupport of Mr. Gladstone measure all the popular encouragement and favorable ex-prcstion of opinion tbat it it possible to command. The Conser-vativet are bent on making equally ttrenuous effort in opposition, anil tbe time from tbit totbeend of Easter will be filled with political agitation all over England.

Tbe friends of the Ministry believe that the tide of public opinion it now turning again in favor of Mr. Gladstone's scheme, after tbe strong ebb in popularity which the premier and bis policy experienced just after the intro- duction of Lis measure. These moon changes in the drift of public sentiment will no doubt continue until tbe fate of the bill is definitely settled, so that after tbe Tories have bad their say it would not be surprising if a fair tide should float Mr. Gladstone's borne rule bill to a successful issue on the eventful day. So uncertain it the whole thing, however, that nothing positive can be predicted.
