mae ..Freedonon of Dublin.

4u6 ELCCoOlA Va CAA1Ah'
LONDON, Jan. 5.-Regarding the mandamus
to be applied for in the Court Of Queens bench
to quash the resolution passed by the Dublin
Corporation comforting the freedom OF the city
on Messrs Dillon and Parnell, the Dublin COR
respondent of the Times says: Ii the point shall
be established by the Queens bench that no
one who is not a burgess can, under an existing
clause of the Corporation act, receive the free
dom of the city, it would vitiate all votes OF
such freedom which have been passed, II any
body chooses to press it. Thus the names OF MIR.
Gladstone and General Grant would be erased
from the roll, but it IS questionable whether
they would regret being deprived of distlnc-
ton which has already lost much of its value
by the alloy of disaffection and disloyalty add
ed to it by recent proceedings.
The Earl of Derby on Home Rule in Ire
land.
The Earl of Derby, speaking last night at the
banquet of the Liverpool Reform Club, an
nounced himself as thorough Liberal. He
said he hoped there would be no further at
tempt to prevent Mr.. Bradlaugh taking the
Parliamentary oath. Discussing the question
of home rule in Ireland, the Earl said: Amer
ca is not despotic or reactionary country, but
we know how she dealt with secession, and we
see how soon and how thoroughly the traces OF
a sanguinary conflict have disappeared. do
not see why we should show less determination
or have less good fortune"
Egyptian Affairs.
The Times editorially says: "The people of
England would view with serious apprehension
any further interference in the internal affairs
of Egypt. The idea of joint Alglo-French
military intervention would excite the gravest
misgiyines and would only be entertained in
any case with the utmost reluctance. The pre-
mature landing of foreign troops would, in the
present condition of Egypt, be the beginning
of disturbance"
Warsaw Reported in Flames.

After the reading of the journal MIR. Orth of
Indiana rose to a question of privilege, stating
that it grew out of and affected the recent APP
pointment of the committees Before stating
the question he said: 1t is my purpose at an
early day to introduce for consideration and
action proposition to change the method OF
selecting committees, as the responsibility is
too great to rest in the hands of single indi-
vidual, however capable and honest.
AS to the question of privilege he said he
had been assigned to three committees, name
ly, second place on rules and chairman of the
committee on civil service reform. He pro-
tested against these assignments as aniDjustice
to himself and his constituents.
The members listened attentively, and Mr.
Springer was on his feet to enlarge upon the
theme but was stopped by Mr.. Robson, who
called for regular order.
Mr.. Springer said he should therefore take
another occasion to bring up this subject.
The Speaker said, 'The Chair does not un-
derstand it is necessary for him to vindcate
himself by saying anything in reply, but it must
not be inferred that the Chair agrees in the
views taken by the gentleman"
Mr.. Orth's request was granted and he was
excused from further service on the commit
tee on rules. The regular order which was the
ca of committees, was dispensed with.
A resolution was adopted thanking the Khe-
dive of Egypt for the present of the obelisk
The Speaker stated that Mr.. Hewitt of New
York bad requested to be relieved from service
on the committee on public buildings and
grounds, as his private business relations
were such as might make it improper for him
to serve. The request was granted.
The House at LAO adjourned till Monday.
