[The following appeared in our Second Edition last I wtek.l TELEGRAMS OF FRIDAY NIGHT, APRIL 1. I HOUSE OF LORDS.—FRIDAY. I Their Lordships met at five o'clock.—On the motion of the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Bankruptcy Law (Ireland) Bill was read a first time.—Their lordships did not insist npon certain of the amendments to the Peace Preserva- tion Ireland Bill. The House adjourned at 5.25. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY. The House met shortly niter two o clock.—iNotice was given on behalf of Mr A. N. Fowler, that on the 29th he would call attention t the recent disturbances at the Red River.-On the motion of Mr Noel a new writ was ordered for East Devon, in the room of Lord Courtenay, who has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds.—Upon the Considera- tion of the Lords amendments in the Peace Preservation (Ireland) Bill, Mr Gladstone moved that the House should assent to the amendments with one exception, namely a new clause in which power was given to the judge to grant compensation to the relatives of a murdered or in- jured person, and to levy it upon the barony or county. 8. :I L1_- As this was an imposition of taxation it rairingea me privileges of the House of Commons and could not be assented to. After a bri,'f discussion the motion was adopted. Reasons for dissenting from the Lords amend- ment were subsequently drawn up and agreed to.—The House then went into committee upon the Irish Land Bill, and proceeded w;th the consideration of the amendment moved by Mr Gladstone in clause 2, to insert the word at commencement of the clause lfsahzing in holdings not situ at1 in Ulster any usage that prevailed, which in es- sential particulars, corresponded with the tenant right cnstom. The amendment was agreed to and Mr Glad- stone then proposed to oust the whole tilf the clause as it originally stood. This course was objected to and the clause as amended was nesrativpd on the understanding that a new clause was at the proper time to be brought up. On clause three, which provides for compensation in the absence of custom, various ver1 a1 amendments were in- set ti-d at the instance of the Government. Mr Corrance urged that the clause proceeded upon a false basis in re- cognizing the rights of occupation. He moved the omis- sion of the words disturbed in his holding" and the sub- stitution of evicted by, or consequent npon, notice to quit from landlord." Mr Glailstone strongly opposed the amendment on the ground that it would destory the princi- ple of the bill respecting tpnallt on lease who were required to !'•' dependent iu their claim fpr compensation, upon the fact that they had been evicted. After a considerable discussion the amendment was withdrawn. An animated debate arose upon the first of a series of amend- ments, proposed by Mr C. Fortescue with the view of separating the scale of compensation in cases of eviction from that in jases of imprisonment. Dr Ball op- posed the amendments on the ground that they introduced a new principle into the bill, viz., that the damages should be given for the mere fact of eviction, and that the termination of a tenancy was a wrong that ought to be compensated. Mr Gladstone contended that the proposed alterations were in perfect accordance with the original principle and scope of the measure. Mr Disraeli agreed with Dr Ball that the amendments entirely changed the principle of the bill, and he regretted that he had advised his friend not to restrict the second reading of the bill. Ultimately the first amendment of the government, wh;ch was technical was agreed to, and the sitting was adjourned at seven o'clock. The House met again at nine o'clock, when Mr Fawcett, on the motion for going into committee on supply, brought forward his motion for freeing the fellowships of Trinity College, Dnhlin. from religions disabilities. Mr Plumkett seconded the motion, and in doing so accused the Govern- ment of playing a double game in reference to Irish legis- lation, a policy against which he solemnly warned them. The O'Connor Don opposed the motion Mr Gladstone reminded the House of the inconvenience of having to discnss au important question of this kind at the present moment and under existing circumstances. So far as the condition of Ireland was concerned while opposing the motion, upon which be regretted that the forma of the House would not enable bim to move the previous qneftion, he and the Government wonid in due season endeavour to deal with the question in a manner that he hoped wonld be generally satisfactory. Mr Beres- ford Hope thought the motion ought to be withdrawn, and after a speech from Dr. Ball in which he re- plied to the statement of Mr Gla dstone, and expressed the opinion that the hon. member for Brighton ought not to have been reproached for a-k!a? the Government to make a declaration of their policy on an important ques- tion, Sir H. Hoare moved the adjournment of the debate, an,1 after some conversation the House divided, when there were for the adjo-rum^-nt 96, against 232, majority for the Government, 136. Mr R. Torrens moved the adjournment of the House, Mr Gladstone assented and the House adjourned accordingly. — 4
