The chief political thing talked OF for the last fortnight
has been 1.-THE Keogh night" -Four hundred members OF
Parliament stayed iDIOwn, or came back TO IT, In order
10 DO present at thisebate. The House was crowded
in every part The galleries filed with Irish audi
who visited us before were present
and Archbishop Manning there who is always about
the House. much though the House Of Commons
had Official rotations with the Vatican. Before the de-
bate COlman OLoghlen put very Irish question to
MI Gladstone namely, whether he would agree to the
adjournment of the debate, which had not then CON-
menced. But Mr. Butts speech may be said to have
failed long before it was delivered His voice wanted
vehemenoe. his matter wanted arrangement, ana the
himself wanted inspiration The truth is Mr. Butt
is not what he He has not at all ripened with

ago after absence Of several years. struggling
with clients and creditors, lie stopped as though
he had a bankruptcy his back his hair was gray
his shoulders were round he looked stuy, puffy, and
sh Tho dash and elasticity of former days were gone
out OF him, ana his speech on thursday ION
the efusOn OF nspid or OyerwOTked intellect His
voice fell too, and was sometimes nearly inaudble.
When a mau who is expected TO make a great speech
before the finest audience the nation can furnish makes
one and knows it, aud has TO continue his failure
during hour and half, it must be an unpleasant
operation to perform. He was followed by Mr.. james,
who made the speech OF the night He had articulation
"a we'll a. confidence and the first resOunding words he
spoke told upon the House and sounded like power
after the feeble Butt had subsidized Keogh was right In
point law and Mr. Butt knew It, and therefore could
obtain no reversal Of judgment of condemnation OF
Al by but the occasion one Astounding In
rhetorical materials, and which Shiel or OCOnnell
would have made memorable use. Mr.. James in his
peroraton indicated what these were, when he
said that the Galway priests were trying to
restore state Of things which England
had put down the Reformation, aud
when the country had determined that proud priest
hood should cultivate political INSTRUMENTATION England
had determined that there should be no allegiance in
our empire except TO the sovereign and no obedience
rendered except TO tho law. Mr. Plunkett also spoke
but did nothing equal to ms first speech in the House.
aud said nothing sustain the eloquence Of the Punket
name Nr James, who in the midst of his strength
but not fullness Of his power alone made speech
worthy OF the night. All our Jameses are clever We
have had three Janeses the House Of late and
all notable MI James Of Manchester, who got into the
House In sudden unexpected way, proved man Of
ability aud whose ability was under no sentimental
restraint Then we had that Edwin James of Maryle-
bone who proved good for this country and there
fore carried his virtues TO America. He has lately re-
turned protesting he has been shocked by the legal
corruption Of New-York--the very thing we should
Imagine ne would have found interesting. And now the
new James beginning be counted upon OF the
speakers OF the House.
