The Irish Question In the British Par
lament.

In the House of Lords this evening, Earl
Granville said the government would ask for
farther power to deal with violations Of law in
Ireland, and a bill containing severe police
regulations had been prepared and will soon
be submitted. The Duke Of Richmond prom
sed to support such measure, but regret
ted the tardlness of its introduction. The
Marquis Of Salisbury said he should infer from
the, language of Lord Granville that the pro,
posed bill would hardly be equal to the emer-
gency. After desutory remarks from others,
the House adjourned.
In the House of Commons Mr.. Gladstone
promised the bill for the enforcement of the
laws in Ireland would be introduced on Thurs
day of this week. 1t would contain provisions
of several acts issued In former years for the
preservation of the public peace. 1t would
empower the lord lieutenant of Ireland to
for summary trial without jury of certain Of
fences created by the bill, such as the posses
sion Of powder, prowling by nlght,o travelling
without destination or purpose. 1t would

the powers of officers Of Justice for obtsi Ing
evidence. The bill was to remain In force for
limited time, and could be applied only to
districts in which the lieutenantgeneral had
proclaimed the suspension of hdbedS corpus.
The press, in districts under the operation OF
the law, would be held answerable for offences
against order. This statement was received
with uproarlous applause from both sides OF
the House. Mr. Gladstone said this brief an
nouncement was all that 1t was thought cxpe-
dient to make.
Mr.. Fortescue, chief secretary of Ireland,
presented Imperative reasons why the govern
ment had, up to the present moment, prefer
red to adhere to the letter Of the law, In deal
ing with Ireland, rather than resort to anoth-
er suspension Of haJeas corpus. A lively de-
bate followed on Irish affairs In general. Com
plants were made Of the frequency of political
juries in Ireland, and the government indig-
nantly repelled the charge Of packing them.
The Education bill came up for o second
reading. George Dixon, member for Birming-
ham and an advanced Liberal, said he felt
obliged to oppose the second reading of this
bill, as much rs lie desired free schools.

PARIS, March I6.
The aspect of affairs in Rome is growing
more serious daily. Forty members of the
Council demand the immediate discussion oil
the Infallibiity scheme. Austria sustains the
demand cf France for political representation.
The publication OF the twe..ly-one canons rem

France, as In the abstract they violate the prin-
ciplcs Of modern government and society, and
are hostile to the wishes expressed by Empe-

1t is known that Count Daru is in favor OF en-
crgetic measures, to which Olivier and Buffet
dissent. The question is simply Cabinet
matter. and may result in the withdrawal ol
Daru. The journals announce that the Empe-
ror has sent Prince Napoleon to consult with
Olivier and endeavor to bring the ministers tc
one mind on the subject.
