Mr.. Gr.DSTOyE,s NEW RULES.

LONDON. Feb 2O.-In tn, House Of Commons this
evening Mr. Gladstone moved a suspension Of the
orders of the day for the Introduction of the rules
of procedure. The Opposition warmly opposed the
motion, but the motion was finally carried without
division.
Mr. Gladstone said, with regard to the first reso-
luton, the Government is inclined to make pro-
posal which Is not an alteration of the figures but
merely an addition, namely, 70 substitute after the
words L" two hundred members the following, " or
unless it shall appear to have been opposed by less
than forty members and supported by more than one
hundred members Nlr Gladstone said that legis-
latures in the United States had found it expedent
to adopt measures restricting discussion, and the
restriction had never worked badly
Sir Stafford Northcote said the first resolution
might be a useful curb to individuals, but as 1t
would destroy freedom of debate and Of voting,
great evil would be done for the sake Of little good.
Everything thai restricted freedom of debate IN the
HOus- of Commons would give a greater handle 10

Youth All MALLACK'S.

The first production in this city Of the nelodrama
of Youth by Messrs Paul Merritt and Augustus
Harris. of London-was effected last night AT Wal
lacks Theatre in presence of a large audience, and
in a remarkably brilliant and successful manner
The piece is trivial in its literary elements and cum
brous in its dramatic mechanism, dimy and slug
rishly shadOwing forth the outline OF trite story
and dclunslly copying some of the commonplace types
of everyday character. But its story Is one that
proceeds through a number of animated, pletur-
esoue and highly exciting scenes, and these were
set upon Mr. Wallacks stage with lavish magnlh-
cence never hitherto equaied In this theatre
There are three or four essentially dramatic points
but the stress is mainly laid on scenic pictures ana
the work is therefore little more than panorama
To that conclusion the modern theatre bas been
moving for some time. The final result Is re9chfd
