LONDON, Feb. l3.--The debate on the
address in reply to the Queens speech was
resumed IN the House Of Commons today
by Mr.. John Ellis, Liberal member for
Not,inghanshire, who supported Mr.. Par
nell's amendment TO tho address. lie
denied that the decrease Of crime in lrc-
land was owing TO the crimes act, and as
serted that tho returns submitted by the
government to support the claim were val
uelcSs, inasmuch as they failed to give de-
tails which would enable the identification
Of any OF tho cases they cited. He con-
dcmned the action Of the Irisn magistrates,
many OF whom he said were unqualified
for the position they occupied, while others
had been guilty OF arbitrary conduct. He
mentioned the case Of one magistrate who
had declared that he was acting under
government orders, and refused to give
any other reason for o decision he had
rendered.
The administration OF tho crimes act
rocked with petty malgnity and calculated
tyranny. lChceB from the Irish mem

n little better and tho -four output made n
small grin. The total production lor the

time for the water mills. There IL one
more mill on the active list than week
ago, another having started up with water.
This leaves five mills wholly driven by
steam, three with water and steam com
bined aud nine with water alone. This
morning, however. the water mills were
not getting along very well. Tho daily

20 900 barrels. A small amount Of flour has
