NEW YORK, March LIN the House
of Lords, Earl Russell introduced the pro.
posed suspension Of the habeas corpus in
Ireland, and asked the House to sit on
Saturday, the 18th, that no time be lost in
passing it.
It is rumored that Sir Charles Wood,
late Secretary. for the Indies, has been

Roman Catholic hierarchy in Ireland, and
that henceforth the Senate of the Queens
University in Ireland will consist of half
Protestants and half Catholics.

blow at the Fenian schemes, which were
wholly discountenanced by the American
Government. The loyalty of the British
army was beyond a doubt.
The Lord Lieutenant Of Ireland earn
estly requested a suspension Of the Act,
saying he would not hold himself respon-
sible for the safety of the country If power
was withheld from him.
Disraeli concurred in the remarks of
Sir George Grey.
Bright protested against the suspension
Of the Act, but said he would not oppose

The bill was then passed through all the
stages and sent to the House of Lords,
who likewise passed it without opposition.
