In an article upon the comet the NEW YORK
HERALD begins paragraph with u conjecture as
to the "edect Of the close approach OF the comet
to New York." The prevailing impression in that
city seems to be that the erratic body in question
was constructed Tor the special benefit of New
York; that it is visible nobody but the people OF
New YORK, and that II IL touches the earth, NAH
haitian island will be the only point OF contlguity.
There may be d Jew persons over there with feeble
faith and no fixed principles who are haunted
with the idea that the solar system displays its
beauty ana reveals Its light to the unfortunate
human beings who gr0pe ABOUT IL IN the DarbarisIn
which exists outside OF tnat city; but the prevail
ing impression seems to be that II New York
SHOULD suddenly be consumed by the fiery tail OF a
comet or be swallowed up during CONFUSION OF

the Orbs which shine in the celestial vault would
have no iurtner reason to be and TO ron on and

AFRAID OF the cars stopped on the track they would
probably have crossed in safety.

published articles on the subject. He says there

OF this comet do not resemble those OF any comet

The Irish Home Rule Motion Re-
jected by Parliament.
Disraeli Prophesies a World
Wide Crisis.

LONDON, July g. 1874
In the House Of Commons last night the discus
sion OF DR.. Butts home rule motion was resumed.
Mr.. Daniel O'Donoghue, member for Tralee, said
the home rule movement was miserable COM
promise, conducted by those who did not care to
face the penalties OF Fenanism He acknow-
lodged the desire OF England to conciiate ireland.
and said thai perseverance in this agitation would
be in defiance of gratitude, justice and common
sense. He said that the ultimate object Of the
leaders OF the movement was to inclte Irish
men TO enforce the repeal OF the union
and their success would plunge Ire
land in civil war and annul the
recent progress in that country He
said further, that ifEngand continued to remove
every pretext Tor the plea of misgovernment in
ireland the result would be the dsgracetul failure
of the movement. He firmly believed Its success
would bring ruin to the interests OF every man in
ireland.
Mr. Robert Lowe, member for the University of
Parliament would involve the necessity OF similar
bodies in Scotland and England, and the result
would be constant disputes and difficulties.
Mr.. Disraeli was unable to agree that Ireland
nad right to greater amount OF self-govern-
ment than Scotland or England. He demonstrated
the grOundlessness of the complaint that
lrishmen were not appointed to high
offices OF the government and denied that
Ireland was treated as conquered country He
said that two separate Parliaments would be con-
stantiy in collision. The minority In the Irish
Parliament would be always appealing to
the Imperial Parliament. He opposed the
motion because 1t was injurious to both countries.
AT the great crisis Of the world, which was nearer
than some supposed, he wished the people to be
united. TO accept this motion would produce dis
Indignation in England and might result in the
destruction or the Empire.
Messrs. Mccarthy, Mitchell, the O'Conn0r Don
and others spoke in support of the motion.
At late hour the House divided, and DR.. Butt's
resolve was rejected by vote of 81 yeas to 45s
aays.
