LONDON Saturday, Jan. %, 1881.
The debate on the address, which ended on Thurs
asv. will long be remembered for the just severity
of the rebuke addressed by Mr.. Gladstone to Mr..
Justin Mccarthy n repelling his proposal to refrain
temporarily from executing the law In Ireland
which enables lanolords to evict tenants. This Mr.
Gladstone denounced as unprecedented and FOOLISH
and criminal insult to the Throne. He spoke only
twenty minutes, but produced an immense effect,
strengthening the conviction in the House that the
patience of the Government in regard TO obstruction
is nearly at an end Mr.. Parnel. angered,
forsook his usual policy, and launched into
classification Of his platform and his declarations in
favor of Irish independence, avowing his belief that
the success of the agrarian agitation would result
in banishing everybody desiring English rule from
Ireland and that complete separation would follow,
saving only nominal allegiance to the Crown. Mr..
Parnelps audacity evoked a spirited protest from
Sir Stafford Northeotewho for the first time pledged
himself as the Conservative leader, to support the
Government in adopting such measures as are nec-
essary to restore power to the majority in Parlia-
ment.
OLD RULES BROUGHT TO LIGHT.
The discovery by Thorold Rogers and Edmond
Fitzmaurice Of old rules enabling the Speaker to
stop impertinent debate, has created considerable
STIR 1t is believed that the Government is disposed
to support the Speaker if he is willing to use his
authority, but he processes unwillingness to at
tempt without sie ssnetlon of tho House. tu OH
force rules long disuscd and of doubtful construc-
ton. Hence the Government recurs to Its original
purpose. to introduce when compelled modified

THE Chlsio Al HANu.
The crisis is likely to occur next week. Mr.. Fors-
ter viii introduce his coercion bills Monday, and
Mr.. Gladstone will move on Tuesday that these
bills shall have precedence of other business Irish
members publicly announce their intention to OBJ
sruct these measures at every stage, and affirm that
they have reason TO expect the assistance OF the
Radicals many of whom VIGOROUSLY dislike every
interference with the rights of minorities but
any judcious measure will secure the support
of the great majority of the House. Sir Stafford
NorthcsAs offer of assistance Monday was fol-
lowed by negotiations with the Government, which
resulted In general good understanding, leaving
open all question as the character of the measures
to be proposed. Most of the Liberal opponents OF
cote are yielding; The Spectator declares that the
House is resoute and the country still more reso-
Of danger to liberty are IN founded.
THE wIGAN AND EDINBURGH CONTESTS.
The defeat of Mr.. Lancaster, the Liberal candi-
late at wigan, and the large loss in the Liberal
vote in consequence of the pledges which he gave to
oppose coercion distinctly indicate that the Liberal
party Of the country will not tolerate Liberal dis
LOYALTY TO the Government on this question. 1t is
known that the Ministers would have regarded Mr..
Lancasters election equivalent to disaster. and
rejoice at his defeat which Strengthens them In the
House. A'similar question viii probably be raised
next week in Edinburgh, where Mr.. McLaren re-
signs 20 make room for his son, the Lord-A3vocate
who Is opposed by "Ginx" Jenkins an impractical
ble Radical whose address denounces coercion.
THE IRISH ,DIssENsIONs.
The dssensions among the Irish members are
multiplying. Mr.. Shaw's withdrawal has occasioned
the secession of fifteen others. Mr.. Blennerhasset
acting Independently, announces entire separation
from the Psrnen faction. lie Is the most influential
Home Ruler, after Parnell Speaking at Nottingham
he indicates his readiness to accept the Govern
ment Land bill if the three Fs are included. Irish
opinion appears distinctly unfavorable to Mr.. Par
nelPs schcpae Of defeating every possible measure.
The Irish papers begin to say that the thing desired
GOOD land bill. and to hint to Parnell that he
may lose bis hold on the Irish farmers IL he prevents
tts passage. The members who are opposing Parnell
receive numerous lotters of approval urging them to
Sacilitate any fair remedial measure
W.. BISMARCK AND THE BoERs.
