London, 12.-Three hundred delegates were present at the sitting of the annual convention of the Irish Land League at Manchester, to-day. A report was presented stating that the highlands of Scotland are ripe for the land agitation. It resolved to alter the title of the Land League to Land and Labor League of Great Britain. Upon a resolution for enumerating the peasant proprietary as among the objects of the League, an amendment was proposed embodying the principles of the Davitt land nationalization scheme; but, after an animated discussion, the original resolution was overwhelmingly carried. A resolution passed recommending to the farmers of Ireland the justice and expediency of aiding the cause of the laborers, and recommending the payment of Irish members of Parliament for their services in the cause of the Land League.
