A Protest against the Afghan War-The
Revenues OF India to be Used to De-
fray the Expenses of the War.

LONDON, December 6.-Before the passage
OF the address in the house of commons, Mr.
NJ Carthy Downing complained of the alb
sence in the royal speech of any promise to
redress Irish grievances, and Messrs. Power
and Sullivan, Irish members, protested
tary promised that when the list of measures
for the session was produced it would be
found that Ireland had not been forgotten.
The secretary of state for India, in the
house Of lords, and under the secretary for
India, IN the house of commons, will, Mon
day, move the following resolution:
ReSoloed, That her majesty having directed
a military expedition of her forces charged

In the house OF commons this afternoon
Whitbread, liberal, gave notice he would
offer resolution disapprovlng of the Afghan
war, and asked for the appointment of day
for Its discussion. The chancellor of the ex-
chequer said he could not postpone the dis
cusslOn of the government resolution fixed
for Monday next. Upon this announcement
Lord Harrington appealed to the government
to Give place to Withdrawals resolution.
Giadstoha supported Lord harrington ap-
peal, but Sir Stafford Northcote, stating that
the governments motion not necessarily
meaning to charge all costs of the war to
India, he could not consent to adjourn the
discussion. Chamberlain, radical, gave
notice of an addition to Whitbread's molten,
attacking the alleged Enconstitutionality of
the governments proceedings relative to
Afghauistan.
Northcote ultimately yielded and agreed to
postpone the report on the address until
Monday, when il will be the first subject to
be discussed, and Withdrawals resolution
will be moved as an amendment thereto.
Lord Harrington gave notice of the Intention
of himself and his followers to support
