pains and penalties tor indulgiDg In such
language, the Chancellor of the Exchequer
tried to mollify them and promised them
Wedneedsy-nOt having then, OF course,
any notion of what was to happen Two or
three days subse quently. We need not
add, after what We have said above, that
when Wednesday came other business was
on hands, and another day had to be got
| for the Scots-tbat 10, by the clever strate-
| gy of the Government itself another DAY
was subtracted from the email remnant OF
time cow at it's disposal.
The latest piece of British obstruction of
irish business has been the rejection of the
| University Bill. On Thursday week the
26th ult., Mr. Butt moved the second read
| ing of that measure in q very able and con-
vincing speech, and be was supported by
several other Irish members. While both
he and they were speaking, we understand,
| the greatest Indifference was manifested by
the House, and at last Sir M. II. Beach rose
aud almost laughed at the idea of doing
anything like what the member for Lime
/ rick proposed for the Catholics of freiard-
The fiat of the minister having gone forth,
every English member but three went into
the Government lobby, 80 that the bill,
although supported by considerable ma
jority on the Irish vote, was thrown out
on the vote of the whole House by very
far larger majority. We may add that OF

Mr.. John Locke, Mr.. Talbot, and Major
Beaumont-the last mentioned subsequent
ly explained that he voted with the minor
ity by mistake. Aud this ls the result
achieved by the conciliatory policy which
Mr.. Butt apparently still desires to pursue.
THE CLOSING SCENES OF THE TWENTY ODD
HOURS SESSION.
The Dublin FreemGn's account of the scenes
commencing from O'Clock in the mornicg,
after the House had been in session over fifteen
hours is as follows:
Mr.. Parnell, referring to the remarks of Sir
w. Harcourt as to conciliation and retaliation,
said that he had spoken first of Mr.. Butts
policy of concliation, and be had pointed out
that Mr.. Butts policy had been an utter fall
ure [hear, hearl, but had he (Mr. PsrnelD
Adopted a policy of retaliationf No. he hao
scted in the spirit of the Sermon on the Mount.
He had returned to the English good for evil
He had amended their Prisons Bin no Could
the member who had said mo" look hlm in the
face and repeat that wordf He never expect
ed thanks, ne did not value the than KS OF that
House but if what he had done in the Prisons
Bill was retaliation or obstruction, it W AS the
| fault of the House and of the front benches,
who left to an irish mem Der to defend the CON-
mon nterests of humanity cheers and mol.
