LONDON, May 2A-The House of Commons,
Ia Committee OF supply last night good enough to
vote eS2OoOOo, on account of tho Geneva award
There was no debate but the vote did not pass I'M
challenged Mr.. Bentnck complained that it was too
late to discuss important matter meaning too
late at night he might have said too early in the
morning for 1t wanted quarter TO Sir j. Elphin-
stone who seldom loses opportunity TO say violent
thing either against the Government against America
remarked that IL disgrace to bring the vote at
such hour Sir George Jeunson typical member Of
the stupid party entered mis- protest against the prnc
pie contained in the vote whereupon Mr. Lowe thought
il necessary observe that he had before sad the
country bound by the rules contained in the
Treaty. but not by the cta OF the Arbtrators This
was TO the address Of Sir Alexander Cockburn Mr..
Bentnck finally declared himself willing to withdraw
his motion TO report progress, condition that the
Government should give early opportunity for dis
cussing the question: and Mr. Gladstone agreed that the
opportunity should be given on Monday next at
O'Clock So suppose we are TO have the whole dreary
business over again. Mr.. Vernon Harcourt had previ
Ousy asked the Government whether they had said
anything to Mr.. Fish about his cOmmuni-
cation 70 Mr.. Davis; and upon being told
they knew nothing Of that document officially,
announced his intention of calling the attention OF the
House 10 it, and moving for papers. He may call it
on Monday. If he likes, he may prefer to have two
debates for the sake of choosing his company. Mr.
Vernon Harcourt though partisan OF ours, is
man of very different caber and character from Messrs
Bontinck and EphnstOne and will say what he has to
say in dgnhed and not unfriendly manner. Nor is 1t
easy 20 deny thahe debates Congress the division
of the Alabama money and Mr. Fshs recent utterances
not to speak of Mr. Cushngs book, have supplied the
opponents Of the Arbitration and dsseners from the
! award with fresh topics of immoderaton
When the Government came back into Office after its
defeat on the Irish University BILL 1t meant TO wash It's
hands of Irish questions But they will not stay washed
Irish questions keep coming up and they are put In
such pressing that there is no way OF escaping
them They have to be answered. Another has reared
its head this week-tha terrible OKeee case to the sad
discontinue Of the Government am not going TO say
a word about the O'Keefe case Ileave that 10
your Irish correspondent. All have to do with OReefe
is when ne shows himself this side of the channel,
and makes his unwecome appearance in the House of
Commons He has brought the Irish Education Board
who Interfered with him iuto difficulties and the Irish
Board has brought the Government into difficulties Mr.
Gladstone himself does know whether to stand by
the Board throw them over, and there
I arc some gentlemen on J0dJ BOARD WHO are
| not likely 10 allow themselves TO be
thrown over without making things unpleasant for the
thrOwer In his dilemma, 10 seemed TO him prudent 70
have inquiry by Commission. Mr.. BOuverie proposed
a vote of censuro the Board some sweeks The
House ready enough TO pass it, but II has the senti
ment OF fair play, and seldom refuses hearing to man
or of who declare they have something TO say In
their own defense. 1t was easy enough, therefore, for
the Government to. get its Committee appointed. and
Mr. Bouverie had TO take beating. But presently he
had his revenge. The Government saw fit to nominate
a Committee of the approved official type, Committee
willing TO hear little possible, or much as the
Government thought best; in fact TO 90 through the
| form OF an inquiry and wind up with a whewashing
report is said to have happened even in America.
The that Mr. Cardwe headed the list indicates well
enough the character of the Committee.
Then Mr.. Bouvere took counsel with Mr.. Vernon Har-
court and Mr.. Vernon Harcourt bethought himself OF
adding two members to the Committee and he pitched
on Dr. Lyon Playair and Mr. Cross, from each side
Of the House. both independent both sitting below the
| gangway, and two Of the most unlikely men in the
| House take part in sham investigation OF sign
| whitewashing report. The Government was so much
alarmed the prospect of having their Committee thus
converted into real committee that they forgot the
greater danger of an immediate defeat. They rudely
opposed the new nominations and. after lively scene,
/ got beaten. as they thoroughly deserved TO be. Dr.
Payfair chosen by 200 to 152 Mr. Cross by 2O5 10

so much alacrity.
The win Of the late Emperor Napoleon III. has been
admitted to probate, and it out, might have
been supposed that the property under 912OOO
includes only the property in England The plain OBJ

persuade the world that the aI20O0O covered all the
property the Emperor had left behind him everywhere
| What he had elsewhere may may not have been
larger than his English prOperty hut believe it is ad-

seem 70 have two objects In pleading poverty, one to
convince the world that the Emperor saved little out Of
his % years plumber Of France the other to prove that
for want Of large funds the Bonapsrtst restoration
conspiracy cannot be formidable. But the world in
raj and the existing French Government in particular
continue incredulous As is named in the
