TRI STATE UT SULAM).- The agrarian outrages is
Ireland and the odloons language alleged to bac, been
noel by the Mayor of Cork, were the subjects of dis-
cussion in the Houses of Pathan:lokt on Friday night.
In the Houses of Lords, Vucount Lfford relied what
steps the Government intended to take in consequenee
of the Mayor's speech. The noble lord drew • (maul
picture of the state of Ireland at the present time.
Assassination was rde in the lend owing to the preva•
knee of secret irgauisations, and the policy of the
Government was bailed iss • triumph of Catholicism
over Protes..intidn. Earl Granville said the miserable
rubbiah ottmed by the Fenian convicts could be treated
with contempt,; bat the can of tne Mayor of Cork was
different. He was elected to the highest *Moe in the
city, be had to administer justice, and be bad also the
pnvilep of sitting side by side with the judges at the
ultimo. The Government hid to ascertain whether the
langusp imputed to bun vu used by him, and if they
found that the report was accurate, they eonld not
po sibly mem it over. A further dissuasion followed on
the frequena of murders in Ireland and the policy of
the Government. In the Common., Mr. Gladstone made
• stetemeut similar to that of Earl Granville as to the
salami of the Gov, rnment in regard to the Mayor of
Cork's speech. Mr. Graves, however, persisted iri pro-
ceeding with his motion, and was answered by Mr. C.
Forbsare, who said Goeernment were not in • poaicon
to state at present what stops they were taking, or
intended to take, in reference to the stare of Ireland.
A very warns debate ensued.
