HOUSE OF COMMONS.
In the house ofcommons last'.night, debate
on Forsters Irish relief bill was resumed.
Lord Churchill said he had exceptional
means of information and. had no hesitation
in saying the distress does not warrant the
bill. The distress might be great, but there
WAS also much fraud and imposture.
Mr.. Gladstone said the greater part of the
opposition to the bill was of smothering
hostilities, to the land act. The bill must
be judged from the standpoint of the land
act, which was created for the tenant interest
in the land and improved value Of land,
though it interferred with property evictions.
He said these evictions were lamentably in
number Of police to enforce processes. Such
a state of things nearly approached the dam
ger of civil war, and 1t was therefore neces-
ssry to take measures to prevent serious
crisis The best means to combat the anti
rent agitation was to remove the justification
for q balance.

was defeated by a vote Of 759 to 2l9, and the
h;n raa1 tbo xp.th ~

THE AMNESTY BILL.
A dispatch to the Times from Paris, cay
the objections to the amended amnesty bill
maintain that the express condemnation TO
g crimes other than incendarism and assassina
ton, would include not merely professions
criminals hut men, who, though held BY
, court martial to be constructively guilty o.
, those two crimes, were only indirectly
, so as not having actually shed BLOOD
and brandished the torch, and if clause can b.
so drawn as to distinguish betweenthis cata
CORY and regular criminals, the senate viii
probably agree thereto. The chamber, how

; GREEK FRONTIER.
A Constantinople dispatch says La Tur
, qune, in an article believed TO be direct,
: insured by the cabinet, made an elaborat,
/ defense of the action of the government will
regard to the treaty of Berlin. 1t says tn,
porte's negotiations with Greece were frus
trated by the inordinate pretension of tn
latter. The delay of the Montenegro
question is owing to circumstance
over which the porte had NJ
T control. The sultan is anxious to INTRODUCES
reforms, but cannot do so owing to the con
dition of the country. The article then &C
cuses Europe of failing to execute its obliga
lions toward Turkey. 1t charges that tn,
sultan will be put in possession of the Bal
kans and that Bulgaria has not been forced
Y to demolish her fortress. The Bulgarian
and Servian portion of the Ottoman debt ha
. not been fixed The article fails to represen
:. the state of opinion in the official world.

, Manchester Guardian says the sultan and hi
ministers, having finally determined to accep
the recommendation of the Berlin confer
: ence, Mahmond Nedin Pasha, who is nov
identified with the English party, was the
only minister who counseled acceptance
g The stronger party is in favor Of sending al
u immediate declaration of war to Athens
