IRISII REFORM DEBATE LotcooNi• March 17.—Midnight.—The - Houge of Coninun; again went into Coot. inittoc this evening and resun teti the debate on the resolution of Mr. Maguire relative to the refurin In Ireland. In' }louse of -Commonildst night, the debate Irish relOttn WIL9 resumed in Committee of the -Gregory, member &Om Galtvay, rose in support of Mr:' Maguire's resolutions, and denouneed tile long continued English mis goeerunieht of 'lreland. Of this there seemed to be. no end, for now, when the ,Irish,:peorle asked fez . reform-kt the Liud 1).0 C.littrdi:i and"! in 'Edit&atkpal - nstems, the Ministry evaded theirdemands and of fered them other changes which they did not. want. .I.l.olenied that there were any persimiS among theltimum Catholie clergy who favored tlhe present - system Of National ,Schools. Mr. Gladstone , for the: first' time in this debate, give his viewi:On cinestiens at issue. Ile said Irish' tenants were wanting in en terprise.and should be encouraged by every possible .Means in ' making improvements on their farms. As to the Church estah lislunent, it was the duty of the Minister.: of the CrowntoMark out laid:sub:nit a definite plan for the treatment of that subject, and meanwhile Parliament should lose no time in doing something itstiltiti: favor of reli gious ispialitY in Ireland. -)le entertained hopes that the Mitdittly• - , ftitt- : -Tealized the gravity of 3 iC, erl¢lB . 74L3rwits vain to tell/ MI time as a • cure for the eyi s l..

The crisis was a . grave one; not only oriaceount of the rapid de population of Ireland by emigration, but -on account of the condition of those Who remained in the country. It Was the im perative duty of the (3°,1 - eminent to give this question - their early and etirrieq atten -don. Nit.. Gladstone then prooceded to review. one by one, the measures of reliefwhieli the •Alini;try tent proper-,ed for Ireland. The only ono he approved was that for political reform. Ho'said in 1845 the adoptton of a bill for the relief of Irish tenants) was'urg ently iTesseil by Sir , Robert Peel,'",but with out sueeess, and all efforts tn:nle since that time to carry similar measures lia.cl failed. 1ir... , depreo•tted um inquiry , into the Iris!' church establishment: It *as well known that the system was g.enerallv dis liked..

Mr. D'lwaeli followed. lie commenced by saying...he laid reason to deplore his fate in attaiMng to office when a crisis of seven hundred years btanding hart to be settled, a supernatural emergency, if the ministry which proceeded that of Lord Derby had neglected these wrongs !of- a,es. He went on to combat the arguments of Mr. Gladstone ag,ainst five of the six measures embraced in the government plan for the relief of Irish grievances,, He denied that the'actiOtt of the Fenian ; organ ization controlled events or; affected -the plans of the 'Ministry. e, Th Fenian out rages should_ prompt no ineasnre and: has-_ ten no policy.
