years be had possessed a seat in the House but he
had never risen to address it under strong feel

sderaole portion Of the subjects of the Queen within

Yet after sixty years Of government by the Pariia-
mont OF this country, had them embitered against
rule anxious only to throw off the 0uthortv of
| the crown and Queen of this realm. During the
lifetime of the oldest man in the House, Ireland had
eeen IN chronic state Of insurrection, and he be-
heVed 1t was attributable almost entirely to msgov-

great ministers, there had been nothing done on the

that House Lgreat laughter, but he thought that if
the ministry and the leading members of the opposi-
uon would unite in some measure for the benefit Of
dreann, instead OF spending all their time fighting

source of strength. and not of weakness, to this

men IN prison, and suppress the conspiracy, and put
down the insurrection but though it suppressed
there would remain the germs Of the malady, from
| Whlcn would grow up another crop and harvest Of
disafection. There was mode Of making loyal.
and 1t was the duty of the Government to discover
that mode He should not oppose the proposition Of
the Government, for he presumed the circumstances
were sucn that the course about to be pursued was
perhaps the most nerciful course toward Ireland

tTammels Of doubt, and to say something to Ireland
tha might give hope tor the future; lie called upon
the Government to wipe out this blot-the Disgoy-
ernment of ITeand-for blot it was, and scandal
also to the civilization of the country.
PROTEST FROM IRELAND.
~, Mr.: Dillon had no sympathy with FenianiSm. On
ber who had to encounter the organized opposition
OF FenianlSm at the hustings; but the facility with
which he was able to meet it. and Ultimately to con-
quer it, had since made him sliepcal as to the
formidable character of the movement. He believed
that the discomfort which it was useless to deny did
exist in Ireland had been caused by mSgovernmont
and the enactment of laws for class interests and
against the general welfare Of the people. For this
reason ne tor one would not aid the Government in
their efforts to quell this discomfort
SPEECH OF Mr.. J. STUART MILL.
Mr.. j. S. Mill considered that the occasion was one
for deep grief and humiliation. If Ireland in former
years had been the victim of nisgovernment of late
years there could be doubt of the wish and desire
upon both sides of the House to treat her in liberal
spirit; but the question was, whether good inten
tiOns were enough, and what measures ought to be
brought forward for removing the grievances now
complained of.
EFFECT OF THE SUSPENSION IN IRELAND.
After some observations from Mr.. Moore and Mr..
Sir j. Gray defended the Catholic priests from the
aSpersion which had been cast upon them of being
implicated in the conspiracy. On the contrary, the
conspiracy had been denounced by Inc priests who
had throughout given support to the cause of law
The O'Donoghue was of opinion that if Govern
ment would declare that they would seriously inyes-
tigate the cause of disaliection the Fenan move
ment would sink into insignihCance. Coercion was
not what ireland rcquired would create panic and
intensity diSafection and he believed thst the ordI-
nary constitutional power at the disposal Of The Gov
eminent, if placed in the hands Of of nerve and
| Judgment would be amply sufficient to meet any
| emergency that might arise
SPEECHOF Mr.. GLADSTONE,
The Chancellor of the Exchequer believed no fall
lacy could be propagated IN connection with the
present subject more dangerous in its character than
the snppoSluon that the proceedings IN which the
House was engaged were an appeal TO substantially
English Parliament to apply the hand Of force to
Ireland The evidence universal that the tenian
conspiracy deserved condemnation and repression by
all who claimed to represent authority property and
religion, and that in principle the measure proposed
| had their unanimous approval. The people of Ire
land were liable to be misguided and lniSled and re-
| quired to be defended against themselves.
