in the house of commons last evening on
Smythe,s amendment declaring it impractic-
able SO long as the Irish are anable to define
where local affairs end and imperial affairs be-

| cred an invitation to reopen the discussion.

OF the rules have been daalt with In conse-
quence OF the tendency of debate on the adj
dress 1t is expected that consideration of the
new rules will be delayed till Thursday next.
