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.. Seven hundred' years - -had thus
been wasted. The Irish inhabitants
of. Canada and. Australia were contented,
aralthe,great reason 'for their , : content was
that they possessed the fruitsi of their own
lahortuid enjo y ed civil and rkligions equal
ity; but irf Irefitml the dlseonteut was•wide,
and deep.. The allted material prosperity
of Ireland was prOof of this. fi.ly notwith
standing the improYitig cdtidition: of the.
country, as • described by some of,
the gentlemen to preceedefl hiM,:
io one - Seetned'surprised that.:t he:people of
Ireland should complain at the saute tin/o .
of their misery. 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.. Ile ridiculed the x c euses - for elay
in this matter, :given by the Government ?
and his speech clostrl with an ehinuent ap
peal to tho 'linnet° take immediate action.
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

brick, was entirely . demolished. The nut-'
chine shop was also much darn. ged, Several
hundred feet of the wall being blown down.
The station engine houSe and other. build

other buildings in the vicinity_ ,of the ma
chine shops were more or less damaged by
the gale. It is not pciiisible to estimate the
loss with any degree of certainty. That 'of:
the Chicago and Rock Island, railroad can
not be less than $lOO,OOO. Some dainage.
