at the House of Commons. Within the house the strangers'
gallery was fully occupied, as was also the ladies' gallery.
'1 be SPEAKER took the chair at two o'clock, at which
hour there was a very full attendance of members, and
the utmost interest prevailed.
THE PERMISSIVE BILL.
A great number of petitions were presented from all
parts of the country in favour of the Permissive Prohibi-
tory Sale of Liquors Bill, against which was one by Mr.
Baines, from Leed, bearing 11,800 signatures.

expenditure over the estimated cost of the Abyssinian
war.

THE BANKRUPTCY BILL.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in reply to Mr. Morley,
said ho hoped to be able to go into committee on the bill
immediately after the holidays.

BRIGADE FIELD DAY.
• Lord ELCHO gave notice of his intention of calling
attention to the facilities for holding brigade field days for
volunteers in Hyde Park.

REXIOVAL OP MAYORS.
Mr. BRUCE, iu reply to Mr. Eastwick, said it would
require very great consideration Ix fore a general mea-ure
was in'roduced to deal with mayors who might be guilty
of conduct calculated to bring the administration of the
law into disrepute.
PROCESSIONS IN CORK.
Mr. C. FORTESCUE, in reply to Col. Forde, said he
Lad not received the report he had sent for from Ireland
with respect to the reports of par;.3, procession with
banners having taken place in Cork.
O'SULLIVAN'S DISABILITY BILL.
On the order of the day being read for the second read-
ing of this bill.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, in accordance with
the directions received, he had taken care to provide wit-
nesses to support the preamble of the bill, and that they
were row in ;,ttendatice to be called in. Ile had also ap-
pointed the Solicitor-General for Ireland, Mr. Sergeant
Ballantine, and Mr. Barry to represent the crown, and he
begged to move that the witnesses be called in.
Mr. MAGUIRE rose to meet the motion with a direct
negative, but before doing so ho would read a letter from
.the person most deeply interested in the proceedings. The
hon. number then read a letter ho had received from Mr.
O'Sullivan in which he stated that the language he had
used did not represent correctly what he meant to
convey, that lie woull be the first to aid the saving of
human life, that under the peculiar circumstance he would
retira from and resign the office of mayor of Cork, and ho
had taken the necessary steps to carry out that intention.
Uuler such circumstances he hoped it would not be
thought necessary to go on with the bill.
The O'DONOGIILTE said Mr. 07Sn2livan had under-
-EMI that eight to write to the p..oper officers nt Cork
placing his r6ignasion of the office of mayor in their hands,
and he fait quite sure that Government might rest cet tain
that the iurpose of Mr. O'Sullivan, guaranteed as it
. .

• _
w,,ttld be by himself, and the hen. member fur Cork (Mr.
Maguire) would bu fully ztud houo4rably carried out.
(hear, hear.)

Mr. GLADSTONE said he felt it right to say that
until that moment he was totally unacquainted with the
contents of the letterjust read, but as he understood it was
to be clearly taken that Mr. O'Sullivan had absolutely,
though not technically, resigned the office of Mayo: of
Cork. He could not distrust the statements of Mr. O'Sul-
livan, even had it not been supported by the unimpeach-
able guarantee of the two hen. gentlemen who
had just spoken ; and under such circumstances
he did not think it wouli be desirable to proscute the
measure against the gentleman who had volun-
tarily divested himself of the office of Mayor of
Cork. But it would be wise to consider the bill with
respect to future Mayors of Cork, and, if on the
resignation of Mr. O'Sullivan he should again be re-
elected, they would then be again in the position in which
they then stood. Under such circumstances he should pro-
po.io to postpone any further consideratiod of the bill until
a successor to Mr. O'Sullivan as Mayo: of Cork had been
elected. (Hear, hear.) The object of the Government
had been fully attained, and as that was so, he would
move the postponement of the consideration of the bill.
(Hear, hear.)
After some discussion the motion of Mr. Gladstone was
agreed to.
