Gen. Buffers SUSPECT Ous Craft.

HALIFAX EXCITED OVER ITS wARLIKE KQUIP MEaP
AND PUZZLED AS TO ITS DESTINATION.
Gen. Ben. Butler has recently purchased
schooner named Conquest, and fitted her out Cor
sea at Halifax, N s. The vessel was represented
to be destined for Port Crockett, Madagascar, but
there is so much mystery surrounding It that
Halifax is considerably stirred up. IL is stated
there that inquiries for British bottom OF SUIT

suitable vessel flying the British flag I'm American

The Committal Of Mr.. Gray.

THE CASE IN The HOUSE OF COMHONS.
LONDON, August 17.-In the house OF commons
this afternoon, the speaker read a letter from
Judge Lawson announcing the committal OF MIR.
Gray.
Mr.. Gladstone stated that precedents in cases
similar to that OF Mr. Gray show that the appoint
ment OF a committee is the proper course. At the
present period or the session, however, 1t is too
late to secure the appointment OF representative
committee. He did not, moreover, know any way
In which the committee could release Mr.. Gray IL
the Y wished to do so. He therefore, made purely
formal motion that the letter OF Judge Lawson be
placed on the table.
passing reference OF Mr.. Gladstone to an ad-
dress to the crown for the removal OF Judge Law
son as one OF the possible alternative sources was
received by loud cheers from the Irish members.
MIR. Sexton attacked Judge Lawson for preventing
Mr.. Gray from making defense.
The proposal of Mr.. Gladstone is simply a means
to defer the matter until Mr. Gray'S term has
expired. Mr.. Gray has telegraphed the speaker
and Mr.. Gladstone informing them of his COM
initial and the refusal Of Judge Lawson to grant
him an adjournment Of his case.
