HOUSE OF COMMONS.

MONDAT.—Ia reply to Lord John Manners, Mr.
Forteecne replied that every means would be used to
prevent further outrages in Tipperary and Westmeath.
Mr. Cousins called attention to the existing state at
peuperism and vagrancy in England, and moved that a
select committee be appointed to inquire into the
subject. A long and animated diecusaion took place.
Mr. Floyer urged the Decimally of dealing with the
increase of vagrancy, with which the increase of aim
use closely 000nected, and which only materially added
to the cost of out-doer relief. Admitting the efficacy
of a test in the the cam of the able-bodied poor, be
strongly deprecated compelling the aged and infirm to
come into the workhouse. Mr. Goactien stated that
the Government were fully alive to the question, and
neat sec-ion they would deal with the subject of
primary education, which was one of the measures by
which they could strike at the root of pauperism. The
motion was withdrawn. A till for altering the site
for the new law alerts was reed a first time.

WED111011)AY. - The Permissive Bill, which Sir
Wilfred Lawson introduced, encountered great opposi•
Sion. Some bon. gentlemen thought the measure
would rather Increase the evils it sought to remedy,
besides indicting considerable inconvenient* in the
very plats where it, operation was least needed. Mr.
Bright approved of the principle involved in the
measure, but objected to its form. He was in favour
of a revolutionary bill, because it would itand a better
shone* of passing that House. Mr. Brace condemned
the bill as too 'steeping, and announced that the
Government were prepared to introduce a measure on
the subject next year. Upon a division, the seoond
reading was defeated by a majority of 106.

TBUISDAT.- The Irish Church Bill, as amended, was
brought up for innisideration. Several amendments
were moved by Sir Roundell Palmer and other hon.
members, some of which the Government accepted,
whilst those they rammed were either withdrawn or
negatived. The report was then remised, and it was
nesemary to reroommit tee bill. j Mr. Gladstone
axed the committee for Friday, the Mith inst ,
and the third reading for the 31st inst. The
Rome afterward' went into committee on the
badge, and several moistness were agreed to.
Despite the report that Mr. O'Sullivan had Maimed his
resignation ia the bends of Mr. Maguire and The
O'Donoghee, and had Mullioned them gentlemen with
thebr.vy MA of " vindicating Ida personal honour' there
was a vague expeMation that he would appear in moon
at the liar of the House, to defy the tyranny and the
might of England. The Solicitor-General for Ireland
and Mr. Sericaut Bellanting, impressive in their *Meal
garb, were in the lobby reedy for the performance of
their constitutional duties. Long before the members
went through the brief bet ioevile exercise of hail-
hair, piety, the House was tilled in every part. To
the Peers', the Speaker's, sad the Strangers galleries,
there a greet • rush as to the plt of a theatre on • first
night; and, so long se the Some was deeding with the
formal besnme, the Guillemot' remained timbale&
But, exactly SS a theatrical manager might advanes to
the footlights and sencianced that hard necessity
forced him to delay the appearance of an
exciting drama which an min crowd bad
come to witness, so Mr. Maguire killed the
feverish anxiety of the assembled legislators by reeding
a letter from the ovilorit The epistle was very remark-
able. Addressed to "My dear Mr. llegnire," it set forth
the interesting fact, that, sehmesd by the most patriotic
motives, the writer bad resolved to release this Govern-
ment from the emberrsauseet of his °Stole' existents'.
Mr. O'Sullivan thinks that, were the Bill of Pains and
Pseaties road • esocied tame, the Irish Church Bill
would he seriously endangered, and a grievous blow
given to those constitutiosal privileges which protect
"the beaklike classes of the somnituitty" from "an
arbitrary *dadaists...ion and violation of the law."
So, in order that the House of Lords may have
so gnome for refusing to abolish "Protestant mosod-
easy." and Kr. Gladetoc. no Manse of playing the
pert of a Cromwell, Mr. Daniel O'Sullivan ,eys- doers
his envie honours, and retires into the privacy of his
buttery with the dignity of an Augustus Caesar. To
the aenouncemeet made by Mr. Maguire, The
cyytemeschne added, that by that night's post. idr.
O'Sullivan would write to the 'To °kilt of Ooriri

Minister meat ones to elate that, sines the Disebiii"
