THE PREVENTION OF CRIME (IRELAND) BILL. ADJOURNED DEBATE. The adjourned debate on the motion to go into Committee on the Prevention of Crime (Ireland) Bill was resumed by Mr. PARNELL, who, referring to the speech of Mr. Dillon on the preceding day, argued that the remarks made upon it by Mr. Gladstone were not warranted, although it was not unnatural that the inferences drawn from some portions of it should have been deduced. He did not think Mr. Dillon Intended to convey that any illegal force in the shape of intimidation would be resorted to pending the final settlement of the land question. He (Mr. Parnell) and his friends while in gaol had done what they could to suppress outrage, but they certainly did regard the settlement of the arrears question as a matter of great importance in the pacification of the country. They had certainly never thought the transfer of land to the occupiers plaid be effected on any other basis than that of buying. With regard to his (Mr. Parnell's) speech at Ennis he admitted that what he then recommended would not have, been applicable, or permissible in a country like England, but the House must remember that evictions were then going on wholesale. and although his method was a rough one it was nevertheless a necessary one. If ,the Arrears Bill were carried as it stood it would undoubtedly afford the small tenants In Ireland the requisite protection, but it would have been of much greater efficacy had such a proposal been carried last session. The situation had, however, Bill. He changed the introduction of the Coerciond been told that the speech bee n of Mr. Dillon had turned aside the sympathy the Irish members were otherwise to have received from 30 or 40 of the Enelish members—(cries of "No ")—and this was a singular illustration of the position in which the Irish question stood. Ho hoped it was not so. With regard to the boycotting question, while objecting to the creation, by the Coercion Bill, of a new offence in the way of intimidation, he claimed for the Mall nevi° no more freedom of action than was exercised by British workmen. (Hear, hear.) The Land League had been much condemned, hut he thought that hereafter it would be admitted that no movement had ever been conducted with less of outrage and crime. (Cries of "Oh.") The English newspapers gave an undue significance to every isolated crime and every agrarian offence committed In Ireland, brat the statistics showed that in 1831 there were only 17 murders in Ireland RN against 172 In 1833 In Q iron's County alone there were 60 murders in 1833' and in Kilkenny and elsewhere outrages of various kinds were coinctitted en a very extensive scale, yet in that year no such powers were asked for as now, and he seleeitted that there was nothing in the present rapidly Improving state of Ireland to justify the action taken by the Government. The Palle Minister was losing an opportrinity ef effecting a settlement of this Irish geestion such as might never occur ag,in. All C13633C3 had  In the opinion of the writer, who, it may be advisable to state, while giving expression to this opinion, is a thorough Yorkshireman, Nottingham will carry off the honours of the year. She is stronger than ever in batting, while her bawling is second to none. Now that Shaw and Shrewsbury are reinstted in the team, it may fairly be sail to be the best eleven the lace county has ever put into the field. _  Is it not too mueh for the Yorkshire captain to expect Hunter, the wieket-kceper, to deal satisfactorily with trlyett's fast bowling without a long-stop Wing on? The Scarborough man has no enviable post under any cironiustances, but with Hill, Emmett, and Ulyett pounding away with the ball, and no able man behind the wicket-keeper, it is no surpriung matter that sufficient byes to lose five per coot of the county matches played are given to Yorkshire's opponents. Pilling kept wicket to Erlyett in the colonies without aid in the line indieated, and Pinder, when in his zenith, occasionally undertook to dispense with the services of long-stop. Hunter's moat ardent admirers, hovnver, will scarcely assert that the prezent Yorkshire wioket-keeper is equal either to Pinder or Pilling in dexterity. As there ware 20 oxtras in the Notts second innings' tohl at Trent Brit3ge last week, some precanaonary measures may now he taken.
