Grave reflections bad been cast upon resident magi-trates in Ireland. It was true that they were dependent for appointment upon the Executive, Government, and out of a total of esventy-three magistrates, Earl Spencer ap pointed or approved sixty, when he revised the list. The number of persons tried under the Crimes Act was 60, of whom V3 were acquitted. In I80O, the number of agrarian offenses reached 2,190, while in 1887 the total was only 1,837.

The total number of cases of ordinary crime reached 1,963 in 1SS0, and in 1887 was The number of agrarian offenses for the six months snding January, 1S87, wee 455. and for the same period ending January, 1888, was 864. a decrease of SO per cent.

The Irish party was now assured that it would ultimately realize its sspirations.

10. As the Prince of Wales came out of the House of Commons last evening with his friends, the newsboys were filling the streets with shouts of extraordinary behavior of His Koyal Highness at the Theatre last night." There was a large audience of first-nighteis at the Opera Comiqoe the even ing mentioned to see Irs. Bernard Bee re in the new and nnwholsome play, Ari-ane," which is a dramatization of Mrs. Campbell Pracdes Won la Wedlock." The Prince of Wales was there in the Koyal box with a Duke, an Karl and several other gentlemen. Ia the orchestra btalls, jut below him, were Justin McCarthy and his daughter.

Lady Colin Campbell, Edmund Yates, and other more or less conspicuous rrople-. The newspaper call it ss brilliant a first night, socndly considered, as ever been seen in London. The play started with a long conversation iateaieJ t.i theev I tii the miserable home la which tlie disreputable fatl-er, the cLriLkca Lusbnni sci tie tie Sit'? I i e- i 1 pallid lips of Ua Bernard Ik ere, there cam from the Royal box loud tones, nay, almost shouts, of conversation. The actors paused for a moment and the audience hissed. A man In tb dress circle shouted, "this is not -smoking concert." The Prince turned his face to the house for a moment, as though surprised at ths unanimity of the resentment shown, and then continued the conversation in a tone of voice not one whit moderated.

Mrs. Beer gave the cue to the acton by going oa with ths lines, and paying no further attention to the interruption. Some society people la tho audience, too, tried to set an example by looking very bard at the stage and endeavoring appear deaf. But th people in the dress circle and galleries would not submit. Cries of "hush, hush," almost drowned the voices of tho people, on the stage.

Mrs. Bee re, nervous with the worry of a first-night. looked aa though she were going into hysterics. It was a repetition of the scene ia the Metropolitan Opera House, York, last year, when th orchestra seats rose en meats against some talk ative people in the boxes. At last when the Frinoe drew bis chair towards the front, of the box and paid strict attention to the play, quiet was restored.

Hon of the critics of the morning papers mentioned the incident, but Mr. T. P. O'Connor, dropped into the theater for a moment, after he had been down to. meet Mr.

Gladstone, and saw the whole thing. The result is that he pitched into the Prince in hot editorial style in the Star last night, and the new boys are shouting themselves hoarse over th rudeness of royalty. Th German Crwa Priac.
