Adjourned. Cruelty to Imprisoned Foniane—The Question Before Parliament—Comments-of the Lon- don Times onthe Debate. Lonnd®, June 30, 1869. In the House of Commons last night Mr. Moore Called attention to the treatment of the Fenian pris- éners, and moved a resolution that the government to institute a public inquiry into the subject of discipline and reclassification of the prison- (0 inquire how far political prisoners should be @ separate cldss; and to consider how far esterity of past punishment may be regarded as able grofind fer the favorable consideration of (heir cases. Mr. Moore said he belteved the major- ‘aty of the Irish people sympathized with the Fe- ‘Mians, though unwilling to subvert the existing cov- @rnineat, and content to bear their present ills fathergthan fy to others they know not of. But no Glass fras contented with the present state of affairs. le strongly condemned the harsh treatment of the Wenjans, both before and after trial, and urged pub- Uo thqutry thereinto, & My. Bruce, the Home Secytary, was not prepared to defend the treatment of the Fenians, but said {that in general the law was insufficient to deal with Prisoners. The statements of cruelty were, however, exaggerated. At present their treatment ‘was extremely lenient. They were separated from ‘che other prisoners, and were not compelled to do anything degrading or submit to any humUlation. «. Mr, Sullivan defended the conduct of the present it respecting Fenianism, and accused Mr. 0 of endeavoring to make political capital py Dfagering vo the passions of those who have been Be hoped the time will soon have ar. fved when such discussions shall cease and no po- {jtdogl prisoners remain in custody. * OB a division the first part of the resolve was lost ‘6F a Vote of 81 to 171, * Me, Maguire said it was impossible to press the datter part of the resolve, as the former portion had Megatived. He admitted the general sympathy of Irish with Fenianism, but thought no harm result if the government extended clemency -and released the prisoners, those still in custody. ‘Th latter part of the resolve was then negatived. The House adjourned at forty minutes past two A. M. The Times this morning. commenting on the debate in tne House of Commons last night, says the consideration of the government ts the effect the release of the Fenian prisoners will have. Is trast) be remembered that all those who ‘were guilty in am inferlor degree have been eet free; only the prime movers or active agents remain, all of whom have been sentenced to long periods of imprisonments, of which @ small portion only has elapsed. The misery brought upon individuals and society and the check ‘to the prosperity of Ireland which they had caused forbid their release. If justice requires satisfaction, men who deliberately planned, and in some cases ex- eouted marder, cannot be set free, while others, whose offences are as nothing in comparison, drudge on in alavery. The distinction between political and other Offences cannot be admitted in the case of men who ‘with insuMicieat cause and no prospect of success carted out their designs with treachery and orueity. ‘Murder was not less murder when accompanied by ‘treason.’ There was nothing connected with the murders committed or attempted by the Fenians ‘whioh should give the perpetrators the dignity of imeurgents. Joke Bright and Mr. Forster Leave the Ree form Club. Lonpon, June 30, 1869, John Bright and William E.
