THE ADJOUNED DEBATE—FENIAN
CONSPIRACY.
Sir G. GREY appealed to hon. members having notices
on the paper to postpone them, in order to allow the ad-
journed debate to proceed.
Mr. WHALLEY said he could not consent to postpone
his motion, but he woud make his statement as short as
possible: The honourable member then proceeded,
amidst the evident disinclination of the house, to
move for a select committee to inquire and report as to
the origin, object, and extent of the Fenian conspiracy
now or lately existing in Ireland, and especially whether
it was in any and what degree connected with any form
of religious belief. The hon. member proceeded to address
the house amidst much interruption for nearly an hour
when
Sir P. BURRELL moved that the house be counted.
Immediately there was a rush to the door by two-thirds
of th, members present, when
[The SPEAKER appealed to the hon. gentleman (Mr.
Whalley) to have a little consideration for the house, and
that he would shorten his observations.;
Mr. WHALLEY, after this intimation, said he had only
been actuated by a strong sense of duty in bringing for-
ward the matter.
The motion was then by leave withdrawn.

THE REFORM BILL.
The adjourned debate was then resumed by Sir IL
CAIRNS,

HABEAS CORPUS SUSPENSION (IRELAND) Ac T.
Yesterday a return was published, which gives
vaaious particulars respecting the prisoners who have been
'6olaftned in the Limerick County Gaol, tinder the provi-
akinSof the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act. Up to the
18th Of April of this year 39 prisoners had been so con-
fined, 111111 of them had been kept in separate confine-
ment and treated under the silent system since their com-
mittal. With the exception of two hours of exercise, they
had been kept lo their cells the entire day, and during
the time allowed for exercise the silent 'system was en-
forced. As a general rule they were not allowed to com-
municate with their professional advisers, or friends, or
relatives, but an exception was made in cases where the
resident magistrate recommended it ; even then such com-
munications Were made in the presence of the governor of
the gab]. One of the prisoners was visited by his profe,3..
sional adviser under an order from the Lord-Lieutenant.
The receipts for admission to the race-course and
stands on the clay of the Grand Prix amounted to
nearly 124,000 fr.
The Brothers Davenport are on the point of leav-
ing Berlin, after a short but not very profitable
sojourn.
c 0,2.0 de Chambord has sent a thousand francs
to t_ be French com:nittee for succouring the wounded
04 the field of battle.

Mr. D. GRIFFITHS asked the Under Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs what steps the Government had
taken to obtain an explanation of the discrepancy Which
existed between the account of the British Admiral on the
one hand, and of the British merchants and the American
Commodore on the other, relating to the alleged offer made
by the latter to co-operate with the Admiral in resisting
the bombardment of Valparaiso.
Mr. LAYARD said no such step had been taken, and
the Government did not intend to do so. The hon. gen-
tleman had no doubt read the statement of Admiral Den-
man, which had appeared in the public prints, and the
Government placed full reliance upon such a statement
coming from a British officer. (Hear, hear.)
RAILWAY CLAUSES BILL.
Mr. HORSFALL asked the President of the Board of
Trade if he would state what were his intentions with re-
gard to clause 61, affecting terminal charges, which still
appeared in the amended Railways Clauses Bill ?
Mr. GIBSON said he intended to move the omission of
the clause.
