 LONDON, Aug. 3-In replying to Mir. Healy in the Rouse of Commons Mr. Cos chen said that M. W. Smith had not inter- viewed the editor of the Times; that he had not seen him, and that he had held no communication with him regarding the Commission. In replying to MT. Sexton, MT. Goschen said that he did not know whether or not MT. Smith sent to the re- porter's gallery the manuscript or the Commission bill which was read in the House on July 1A and the words ''aRa other persons" did not appear in 1t.
 Mr. Labouchere called the attention CT the sHouse to the breach of privilege Of which the ISnaes to-day was guilty in charg- ing the Parnellites with trying to drown the Commission bill with flood of black guardian unparalleled in the history of Parliament. It deplored the circumstance that MT. Gladstone and Sir William Har- court completed the foul-mo uthed orator of their Irish allies.
 MT. Goshen concnrred In the charge that a breach of privilege had been committed by the 7YnaSe, and there was no use to mitl- gate the fact by saying.thatstrong language had been used by the Parneilites against the Times under the protection of privileSe. But if the House followed precedents it would not now deal with the breach of privilege, but would proceed with the busi- ness of the day. MT. Goschen accordingly made a motion to that effect. MT. Glad stone seconded 1t and advised Mir. Laoou- chere to withdraw the question ot pfivil- ege, to which Mr. Labouchere agreed. MT. Gladstone desired, he said, to return good for evil in not pressing the question at present. But MT. Sexton was less concu- latory and said that he desplsed to com- mend the paymasters and accomplices Of forgery.
 Mir. Goschen then moved that the debate proceed on the bill to investigate the charges against the Parnelhtes, if it were still under discussion, at midnight. To this the House agreed. He next moved that the Chairman shall have power at o'clock in the morning to put the remain ing clauses.
 MT. Reid appealed to the Government to respect the right of the minority to obtain full discussion of the obnoxious clauses, and hoped that they would not close the debate until the final clause had been dis cussed, which was to exouerate ''ths IimeS' from an action for libel. Mir. Healy said the notion was another proof that the Conservatives were pre- pared to treat the Parnellites in the same manner as the red Indian who danced around hls victim at the stake. Mr. Timothy Healy moved to amend the motion by inserting the words If the Chairman so think" thus leaving to the discretion of the Chair the application of | the closure rule. The amendment was re- | jected-2S5 to 237.
 | Mir, Justin Mccarthy moved an amend l ment extending the inquiry to the crcum- stances under which the charges were made and originally published by the 1 Times.
 1 Mr Matthews, Home Secretary, held 1 that the amendment was needless.
 MT. C. H. Anderson (LiberaD claim cd that it was important to know how many 1 forged letters the Times had and how they | had been obtained.
 The amendment was defeated-162 to 12S.
 Mir Labouchere hloved that the letters be inquired into and reported upon before other matters. He did not think that any member of the Gov arnment was so vile and base Qaughter) as to refuse this req. sonable concession. IT the Government did refuse it he would recommend MT. Parnell to wash his hands of the Commission and sue the Tunes for llbAl solely or the let ters.
 Mr. Labouchere amendment was de- feated-21S to 293.
 MT. Parnen desired to say & few words It was vain to deny that he approached 1 the Commission with a ranking sense o1 injustice. He did not object to the princi pie of the Commission in its inception, and would not have complained of the exte nsio1 of itsscope to & political organization if a fail hearing and notice of the charges agaiRst | them had been secured But that was no the case. There were men now in Lon don who, hs believed ii placed ill the witness box, would Dc forced to admit that they were guilty of forgery. Amendments t secure the attendance of these persons an( insure their punishment if they fled to es cape the jurisdiction of the Commission were excluded. What would the forgers care for the action of the Government, l by stepping across the Channel during the inquiry, they could draw an impenetrablt veil over the origin Of the letters!
 The Parnellites having left the House the Chairman put the remaining clauses which were carried without division.
 The report stage of the Commission Bil was fixed for Monday next
