HOUSE OF COMMONS.--BATURDAY, Fn. 17.
SUSPENSION OF THE HABEAS CORPIJS A(JT
IN IRELLND,
fOontieried from Saturday's .Br'preix)
Mr. ROEBUCK ioqtrired why Mr. Might's speech was
made—whether for the purpose of smoothing the difficul-
ties of the moment or oonerliating Ireland ; or was it for
the parpose.of mischief ? He admitted that Ireland for
ages wee mended, but for the last thirty years peril*.
meat bad carefully listened to allher requirements ; and
Mr. Bright had not eiguthed one thing which ought
to have been done which bad not been done—con.
Undies that the people of Ireland enjoyed every right
and Oiviloge possessed by those of England. He urged
that ore of the main causes of discontent in Ireland was,
that until lately the Roman eatbolic clergy bad bees preach-
ing sedition : heargued the setting up of nationality wee
an evil to Ireleed, that if she was left to herself she would
present the most wretched spectacle of civil war and hear-
ohy that the world ever saw • and he expressed a desire
Olt some arm should state notarially what was to be done
with regard to that country ; and if the house refused to
do it, he would say Mr. Bright was right. As to the pre.
sent bill, the sooner it was passed the better.
Mr. HORSHAM characterised Mr. Brighva speech as
an inopportune iaterpeettion at a critical moment of the
address he meant to make in the Irish debate of last week.
He did sot know whether that gentleman', sympathies were
with the government or the Fenians, but at any rate it
would be of greet valise to that body—.carrying out as it
did his principle of always being on the port of those who
were is oonoert with the enemies of Euslaad. He con-
tended that in modern limes Ireland could not complain of
misgovernment, as being placed by parliainest in an
inferior position to the rest of the kingdom.
Mr. DILLON. an aa avowed opposes! of Embolic', ex-
pressed his doubt of de extent and powers of mischief ; bat
whatever such powers it programed mare from the disaffec-
tion sprisgieg out of the misgovernment ef Ireland. He
°proof* the bill.
Mr. J. S. MILL agreed with Mr. Bright that this was ea
occasion for shame aid bestialities ; and while admitting
that England had repented of the national sin of injustice
to Deka& urged that the had not gone further in the
change thou benevolent good intentions. He argued that
the delusion which bad for some time prevailed, that Ire-
land was no longer the difficulty of Ragland, was now
utterly dispelled. He, however, admitted that the govern.
monk who were not responsible for oosturiee of misgovern-
ment of Ireland, were jastified is making fee the powers
which they demanded.
After observations from Mr. Moose and Mr. CONOLLY,
Sir J. GRAY chainterhed Mr. Roebuck's speech as one
favours/de to Foliar:ism, an organisation with which he
had no sympathy, banded uit was whist all order, pre-
Tarty, and life in Ireland, and danottneed as it was by the
whole Roman catholic clergy.
The O'DONOGHITE stated that what he asked for Ire-
land be asked without reference to anythins that the
Fenialie might think ; bat he was sure that if what he
Inked wag obtained they would be satisfied. If the house
waa.resolved to support the government in their intuition
of giving despotic power to the bewildered sad nervosa is-
mates of Dahlia Castle nothing be could do would provost
it ; but he protested against the adoption of coercion aa
the only efficient means of meeting the emergency, sad said
it was his duty as a representative Irishman to vote spinet
the pinioned =assure.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, referring to
Mr. illsraeli's stricture on the government is allowing as
eat of George 111. to be repealed .which would have enabled
perms like the Finian emissaries to be oriented, pointed
ant that that sat could sot have bees so applied, and no
peruse could have boar more than momentarily detained
under its provides". While eulogising the brilliancy and
sincerity of Mr. Bright's speeoh. he bad listened so it with
pals, as, although cloistering much truth, it was
iacpportnne, and ,untamed a WWI rhea it asserted
that the toren:meat was dealing with the Dish
proper, whoever by her representative' in the boseirmree.

for the manner in which they had signified by their sap.
