The Irisi, Question in the House OF
Commons.

LONDON, Aug. 24.--In the house of COM
mons Mr.. Forster said there was no fear Of
rebellion arising, but there was great danger
to individuals and property. If landlords
made joint use of their power it would be
necessary to introduce a bill to prevent such
injustice. The government was determined
to investigate the cause of the condition of
Ireland. He hoped the IRISH people would
trust them.
Some discussion ensued on the vote for the
expenses of the Dublin police.
Lord Harrington said the government
would not brook further delay if obstruction
was continued. They must take measures to
assert their position.
Parnell did not object to the vote on the
Dublin police expenses being taken toni ght,
but could not consent to the constabulary
vote being taken.
Foster assented and the house adjourned at
2 a. IN.
In the house Of lords the employer's-lab:l-
ity bill was read second time.

LONDON, August 23.-The chief secretary
for Ireland in the House Of Commons to-day
stated that the government don't think it
necessary to ask Tor exceptional powers for
the preservation of peace and the protection
of life and property in Ireland. They do not
know, he said, whether they can rely during
the coming autumn and winter upon common
law. They DO not fear rising, but the con-
dition of the country is precarious, and should
necessity arise the government would not
hesitate to summon Parliament iii order to
obtain additional powers, but they DO not
think occasion likely to arise.
Mitchell Henry moved adjournment for
the purpose of raising debate on he use Of
buckshot by the police at Durganon, which
he strongly denounced. Forster said the
government was responsible for that action
1t had authorized the use of buckshot as
more humane than balls. The police only
fired upon and charged the rioters when alb
solutely necessary. If they had not done SO
Durearron would have been sacked. Sir
Patrick O'Brien, liberal, and Finnegan Odon-
nell and Parnell home rulers, protested
against the use of buckshot. Parnell hoped
that Forster would reSclnd the Oruer, "nich
in the case of Durga.ron had most unior-
tunate result. Marquis, of Harrington, SAID
that if the vote of supplies is finished by
Monday next, the House can adjourn Septem-
Der 9th, but all depends upon the progress of
business. John Dillon, home ruler, moved
adjournment in order to give Forster an op-
portunity to explain lIIs recent language;
Dillon said: | do not mind being called
coward and impostor. but object to accuSa
tion of deliberate wickedncss because adj

added: The recent horrible outrases In
