PREPARING FOR THE DEFENSE.
Many Laughs at The Times Farce-Glad- stone and Parnell saving Their Energies for Coming Great EfT.,rts-Immense En- thusiasIn in st. James Fall.

LONDON, March l4-Tae confession before the Parnell commission of Cotfey, the Irish reporter, tha, he wanted to sec London and that he kn,w that his statements, if strong enough, would take with The Times people. has given rise to another laugh at the ere dulty of John Walter & Co. Whom the gods wish to destroy they first make idiots of.
 At the sitting of the commission yesterday Mr. Soames, solicitor for The Times, testified that he had found that the local police of Cork believed Co.fey. Coffey signed the xtatenlent in the witness office and said he would testify that 1t was true. Coffey had not received the fuu sum to which he was en- titled. The witnesses for The Times received from los to @ }s. daily.
 On cross examination by MT. Biggar, MT. Soames testified that he sent Kirby to Amer ica to see Sheridan, who asked e2O, 900 to come to London and testify for The Times. The witness, on being informed of Sheridan's price, immediately recalled Kirby.
 A man named Levy, who was 6 member of the Fenian supreme council, testified as to his experiences while member of that body. On cross examination he admitted that he had been imprisoned for a year for embedding
 
 laughter.
 At 320 D. Ill. Attorney General Webster announced that the case for The Times was finished
 At the request of Sir Charles Russell, coun- sel for the ParnelliteS, Presiding Justice Han nan ordered the release from prison of Mir. William O'Brien and MT. Timothy Harring- ton, whom it is necessary for Sir Charles to consult, on condition that they abstain from agitation during their liberty. The court then adjourned until April ?.
 St James's hall was filled to overflowing last night on the occasion of the long herald ed reception to Mir. Parnell in recognition of the return of the popular esteem of which the now exploded accusation of The Times robbed him.
 The hall was profusely decorated with flags, flowers, etc, and the gathering was remark ably enthusiastic.
 Mir. John Morley presided, and upon talk ing the chair delivered an earnest and elo- uuent speech The absence of MT. Gladstone, he said, was greatly regretted by all, but he was assured, and i'll return would assure his audience, that the great leader of the Iber- als would be present if it Were not for the fact that lie had been earnestly besought and prevailed upon by his friends to spare himself for another occasion, when the cause of Ireland would be advocated before body competent to take action the questions he presented
 MT Gladstone would not" MT. Morley said ''spare himself of his own free will, be cause he plainly sees that the time is fas, coming when he will surely get to the bot tom of these Irish proceedings. Whatever form home rule may take it must rest upor foundation of mutual respect and gooc will"
 Mir Morley severely censured the entire course of The Times against MT. Parnell ant his colleagues, and rejoiced ill the downfall of the fabric it had reared.
 Mir. Parnell, ill rising to speak, was greeted with a perfect bedlam of applause, the ova tion lasting many minutes He was sure, h, said, that his countrymen in Ireland, Aus tralia and Amcrlca would be equally glac upon hearing of his reception. He had, how ever, not much to say and would reserve hi last words on the vital subject for the witnes; box and the house of commons. The pro ceedings befere the commission had involved a scandalous waste of money.
