Debate in the House of Commons. on
Mixed Jurtes, Irish Affairs, &c.
LONDON, March 12.-midnight.-In the
Commons tonight Mr.. Gregory inquired
what ground the Government intended to
take in regard to the use OF mixed juries,
for the trial of foreigners in English courts.
The Attorney General replied that the
Government did not propose to interfere
with the decisions of Judges on that point.
Lord Stanley made an explanation as to
the present state of the controversy with
Spain, concerning the Tornado case. He
said the last step taken by England was to
demand the release of MCPHERSON. .
Earl Mayo. Chief Secretary for Ireland,
said he would soon submit to the considera-
tion of the House plan for the new Irish
University, the officers of which were to be
named or read by Catholics, but whose
privileges were not to be confined exclu-
sively to the Catholics.
!. The House then went into committee, and
resumed the debate on the grievances OF
Ireland. .---f s.t. IL; T., +ffsSi,
Mr.. Herman, member for Stroud, said
Ministers had promised a reform, in Ire
lacd, but the reform proved to be a COM
mission of inquiry and new univer-
sity. More than this was needed
to conciliate Ireland. He deprecated
the creation of new college of the
character described by Chief Secretary for
Ireland as likely to foment sectarian Bit
terness and anger. The laity was satisfied
with the present system of national schools.
He declared that no ministerial statement
had ever caused him so much pain. A
great opportunity was lost to conciliate
Ireland, which should no -longerSbe ruled
by English laws, customs, and prejudices,
but according to the wishes Of the Irish
people.
Mr.. Robert Lowe thought there was no
good reason why the different religious
sects should not agree as well in ireland as
elsewhere. The evidence of Fenianism
was not in point as an evidence of-discon-
tent, for there was no proof that the body
of the Irish people sympathiZed with that
rebellious spirit, which was confined to
American Eagitations. The trouble was
deeper seated. 1t was untrue that Ireland
had been injured by English legislation.
General assertions only were made about
land grievances, but mo facts were presented.
He was opposed to the system of small
tenures urged by Mr.. Mill and others, as
not the highest type of civilization, which,
tum. He deplored the establishment of a
seetarian college. Neither the clergy nor
laity wanted it,. The proposition was sim
ply trick of the Government to gain time.
The fact was that one tenth of all the prop
erty in Ireland was public, but was used
for the benefit of only one out of II of the
inhabitants. That was the great evil, and
it was a scandalous one.
Thomas Hughes made speech and urged
general reform in Ireland.
Mr.. Vance, in the course of his remarks,
argued that free trade had been very injur-
ious to Ireland. no
Jacob Bright forcibly denounced the
anomalies of the Irish church establish
ment.
Mr.. Mill deplored the beggarly account
of the Irish pelicy of the ministry. He ap-
proved of the manly speech of Mr.. Howe
on the church question, and concluded
with an argument showing that such col
lege as was proposed was impossible.
Mr.. Claiborne Hardy defended the Gov
ernment, giving long review of its Irish
policy. He said he believed the same fears
were expressed and reasons given in 1S43
\ ct how many years had the Wings held
power since then, without taking any
action in regard to the grievances of Ire
land?
At eleven o'clock tonight the debate
still continued. (
