Housk Coavons Linanry, West- ainsTER August 25.—[New Y ork Herald Cable—Speennl to the Brel—The debate on Mr. Parnell’s amendment, which came to a close atabout 1 this morning, was one of the most powerful and best sustained we have had in the house of commons for many years, Parnell’s own specel singularly fmpressive, and was acknowledged such by all who listened to it. Mr. Gladstone was almost at his best—I mean his best of recent years. Chamberlain’s bitter, spiteful and malignant spe was, as A mere piece of paliamentary polemic and rhetoric, the finest’ display he has ever made, Labouchere was delightiully sarcasticand droll. 1 cannot say anything hizher in praise of Sexton than to declare thatwhile everybody was awaiting his speech with the most intense anxicty, no one was disappointed with it when it came. A FOREGONE CONCLUSION Of course the amendment was defeated by alarce majority. This was expected and was, Indeed, inevitable. Mr. Gladstone and many other hiberals who avowed themselves favorable to the prineiple of the amendment, abstained from voting on the ground that it would 1ot be reasonable to ask too much from the government at the very moment of their coming into office. Two of our Irish members are away in- America. One other, who was in the house of commons all the time, abstained from voting and even from taking his seat, in the formal sense of the word, because he was advised on the best lewai authority that by taking his seat for the county which lately cleeted him he might prejutdice Lis claim to be declared elected on a petition of the sitting member for an uister city, which he contested at the general ele tion. The actual members, therefore, who voted for Parnell’s ameudment do not by any means represent the number of men in the commons who favor its object. ONE GREAT RESULT landlord’s cost of the gone fo the Irish published, azain try of the debate is that the Irish chances of being bought out at the rent payers of three kingdoms is ever. Gladston nphlet on question, which has just been makes it clear that he will never and attempt to buy out the Irish landlords. “Their sands are fast rannlng out,”” he said in his speceh in the commons last session 1Lis pamphlet now declares in substance that their sands have run out. A CURIOUS SIGHT. In the commons thissession one sees a cur- fous sight. As most of your readers know, what is ealled the front opposition bench— the bench which faces the treasury bench. on which ministers sit—Is usually occupied by members of the government which have latest gone out of oftice. Men who come into oftice occupy the treasury bench, while the men turned out oceupy the frontopposition beneh. This time, however, Hartington and Cham- berlain, who helped to turn out Gladstone’s government, insisted on the right to sit on the front opposition beneh, on the ground that they are still Jiberals, still members of Gladstone's party in their general principle and were members of Gladstoie's govern- ment. The result of this resolve has been thai men ranged side by side on the same bench get up and DENOUNCE EACI OTHER withall the fervor of political rivalry, fury and personal hate. Chamberlain stands up Just beside John Moiley and rattles at Mo Jey as if the two I ong opponents. Harcourt gets up and d ms away vigor- ously and vehemently at Chamberlain, who 15 siiting on the same beneh and just under his eyes. I remember Disracli onee humor- ously complaining to the house of Glad- stone’s encrgy of invective, and observing, amid the delighted laughter of the house, that he was often glad to remember that a very solid piece of furniture stood between the right honorable gentleman and himselt, That solid piece of furniture was a table placed between the treasury and the opposi- tion banches, covered with reference books, standing orders and big despatche boxes. A CHANCE FOR PUGILISTS But now, in the new divisions of parties, the protection of a solid piece of furniture is not always of any avail, If, in some future debate, Chamberlain should sting Harcourt into unconquerable fury, there is no barrier between the two wen--nothing to prevent Hareourt simply falling with all his vast bulk and welght upon the slender form of the hapless Clawberlain and erushing him out of existence, Ouce, in the course of his speech on Thursday, Chamberlain was interrupted by some remark from a tormer colleague in ofiice--Harry Fowler. Chamberlain got angry, and, looking sharply at Fowler, who was sitting at the same desk quite near, said the remark was nonsense. Suppose, now that Fowler had lost bis temper. What bar- xier was there to provent bim from addressing his remonstiunce to Chumberlain's lett eye? Bowethiug will have to be done, IN TUIE OLD DAYS, 1 think in days long past it used to be th way with the men of both Lo sit side by side. Many atimedia Sir Robert Wal poleand Putuey piteh into cach other from the selt-same benel, But our generation has never before seen anything of the kind, It adds immensely to the oddity of the whole condition of things.

JUsTiy MeCAREIY TATION SUMMED UP, of nof the of mated him w THE SITU A Commoner on the Parnellite Defeat inthe Comn LN HOUSE 0F CoMMONS Linnany, WESTMINS TrR, August 28— New York Herald Cable Specinl to the Bre, | —The result of the divi- sion on_Saturday morning was a foregone conclusion. It therefore could not have taken anybody by surprise. But the largeness of the majority of the governm med to take the opposition aback. 'Tiis is accounte when one considers the number of the lib- cral abstentions, Many walked out of the louse, following the example of Harcourt and other prominent Gladstonians, Parnell must have known that he could not win, but he looked dejected, as did his party general when the numbers were announced. The never having been any doubt on the tory side, there was NO GREAT EXULTATION at the victo The cheers were soon over, and the house quickly dispersed, worn out by the hot night and by nearly nine hours sitting. The debate, in spite of every effort last night, flagzed niueh. Sexton coulid not fail to score good hits here and there, but it was generally admitted that he did not equal his usual form. Hareourt was hampered by his past record, and found more diflieulty than ordinary in casting off his avowed opinions. O his declarig land purehase to be henceforth quite distinet from the home rule question, taunts at THIS NEW SOMERSAULT levelled at him from both sides. making the statement he evidently only fulfilled the instructions 1eft by Glad- stone. The general line of discarding the land purehase bill is elearly indicated in Mr. dstone’s pamplilet, issued to-day. When Sir Michael Hicks-Beach asked him if his chief lad authorized him to make an an- nouncement, he replied, “You will see in a few hours.” The entire liberal party, except Morley, have demanded that the purchase scheme be thrown overboard. The course Morley will ta is looked for with some in- terest, because he has always constantly de- clared that the two p are inseparable, So Dublin was very glum Jast night when Har- court was making his statement, e had not seen the Gladstone pamphlet, and possibly the revelation came on him by surprise. One thing is certain, nawely, that the LAND PURCHASE SCHEME 1S DEAD. No party dare revise it The tory pacty, it is quite clear, could not support any such proposition. Whether there was any use in having. a heavy defeat regis them thus early, the Parnellites doubtless know best. In what its usefuluess consists is 1ot obvious to others. Such a harmonious wajority must ne ly discourage the rank and file, and go far towards convineing the public that the home rule party is help- less in parlinment. “Theabundant rumors in circulation of a split among the untonists in the liberal camp are all knocked summarily inthe head. If anybody supposed Cham- berlain or Hartington was inclined to return to the true told, yesterday mornin cision undeceived him. The position re- mains as indicated two weeks ago. While a separate parliament in Dublin is the plat- form of the liberal party under Gladstone, the secessionist will stand out practieally for division. Yesterday may be taken as de- noting the course of future events. The an- ticipations that the tories will take up Glad- stone’s poliey are MERE CIILDISIT DREAVS, Their leaders and followers alike believe the country dead opposed to that poli Consequently it would be sheer madness to adont it. 'This is their view, right or wrong, and, holding it firmly, they are not -nkely to follow n Gladstone’s path or bring in any measure establishing a separate parliament, CHAMBERLAIN'S EFFECTIVE I Chamberlain’s speech, undoubtedly the most effective delivered throuzhout the de- bate, showed wonderful realiness, in spiwe of continual interruption, and great quick- ness of repartee, He struek out right and left with unerring success. This even his opponents concede. It is not surprising that he stirred up much agitation in the Irish party and the wore impulsive members showed temper indiseretely. Even the Pall Mall Gazette on Friday, though supporting the Parnellite cause, a few words of re- monstrance against violence in parliament, ‘The Irish leaders are free from blame—they are always decorous—but some of their fol* lowers need a friendly hint, O.herwise pub- lie prejudice may be more deeply excited against them than ever, Parliamentary dis- order can do no ood now, be the tinal resuits what they may. A COLD FACI TO FACE. ‘The fact must be faced thata majority of those returned to this house are against arate parliament tor freland. The union- ists on both sides of the house will adhere to that decision, but the Parnellites and Glad- stonians hope to induce the country to verse it. - Moderation, the leaders weil know, may do what violence never can, It is not to be denled that troubled times are bef the country, such as are calculated to severely try ail seetions, But the gravity of the erisis obviously supplies all the more reason for the exercise of patience and moderation, unless Ireland is to be plunged into the HORRORS OF CIVIL WAR. Otlier amendments to the address will e pressed, but assuredly with the samo resuit. ‘There is always an ample number present to support the government, about two hundred and twenty tories being held fast in Loidon, and at least efifty liberal-unic on the other side, The liberals have not yet issued any wgent call to their supporters, Indeed, it was whispered on Friday ni; that the chiet liberal whip was keeping his wen out of the house. ‘This would nccount for the empty benches and the weakness on division of the party.

This is A TEAVY TLOW T0 CORRCION and a marked sien of pro ress. 1 am strained to say that on no other head do the announecments supply any cauges for con- eratulation. Large Irish subjects, ripe for treatment, are to be referred to commissions of inquiry. This is a policy, while social order in question, of almost indetinite de « Moreover, while a commission is to inquire whether the rates of judicial rents are or are not such as can be paid, the aid of the law for levying the present rents in No- vember has been specially and emphatically promised. This is a marked discouragement to remissions of rent and a powerful STIMULUS 10 EVICTIONS. A projeet las been sketehed of imposing nupon the state the payment of all moneys required to meet the difference between these actual rents and what the land can fairly bear. This project is, in principle, radically bad, and it would be an act of rapine on the treasury of the count Whereas the great- est evil to Ireland is that its magisterial and administrative systems are felt to be other than Irish, no proposal is made for the re- construction of what s known as DUBLIN CASTLE GOVERNMENT, It is proposed to spend large sums of public money on public works of all kinds for the material development of Ireland under Eng- lish authority and Dublin_ castle administra- tion. This plan is, in the highest degree, wasteful. It is unjust to the British X payer, and it is an obvious attempt to divert the Irish nation, by pecuniary inducements, from its honorable aim of national self-gov- ern nt, and will as such be resented. The limitation of local government in Ireland to what 1 at this moment be desired for G Britain 1s just to none of our nationalities, rests upon no recognized principle, andis es pecially an unjust himitation of Lrish national desire. In my opinion, such a policy dealing with the Irish people ought not to be and cannot be adopted.” ITUATION. of 10 the the states con is THE BELFAST Pranks By the Roughs But No newal of Rioting BELFAST, August 25.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Brr:.]—Belfast has had two weeks of perfeet freedom from rioting, but during this period the inhabitants of the disturbed distriets suffered ineessantly from the assaults and petty thieving of bands of roughs. This has been espeeially so in the Shank Hill district, where the absence of the police lett the shopkeepers at the merey of any idler who happencd to wanta glass of whisky or a half erown contribution towards the burial of some purely imaginary corpse. The authorities refused to replace the police until some guarantee was given that peaceable residents would no longer shelter the roughs, but aid the police to arrest all dis- orderly persons. Forced loans and other in- convenient results of mob rule had become 50 unbearable this week that to-day the Or- ange leaders and the Shank Hill shopkee: ers met Mayor Harland and the police ofl cers to discuss plans by which the police should resume duty at Shank Hill, with the promise of the aid of all respectable people toward the suppression of petty erimes. WORK OF ROUGIS, Several grocers said that crowds of young roughs made their trade almost impossible by demands for money and goods and attacks on all exposed articles. If remonstrated with for malicious injury, the only answer was an assault by all hands on the dealer. After four hour’s discussion the meeting ad- journed without arrivinz at a mo- dusvivendi a3 is alleged, because the mayor refused to replace the police unless the leadinz inhabitants agreed to assume all responsibility coinecident re- sulting from volice attempts to maintain the peace. ‘This is now refused, but eertainly, Shank Hill is S0 over-run with roughs gath- ered from all parts of the city that the resi- dents must soon form the desired vigilance committee to help the police subdue tie young hoodlums who have lived on rioting for so long that they are anxious jto continue this idle life, A WEONG IDEA. A prominent magistrate tells me he tears that Americans are forming an incorrec idea of the Belfast authorities. e say hie coroner’s juries blame the law officers of the city for every death resulting from the viots, and this is unfair. For instance, we are blamed for the death of a little girl shot recently. The fact is that the child was shot by an infernal scoundrel who fired his revolver blindly up a street when no one was looking, and then n away, the bullet moitally wounding the gitl, We searched forthe ruflian at onee, but he was doubtless hidden by soine thoroughly respectable family and he es- ed. The police are mot to blame, W afnot possibly wateh every door and every roof in the city to prevent cowardly roughs of either party from firlng such random shots. Decent people come to me and con- fess that their LIVES ARE NOT SAFE shelter such roughs from the police sea But until decent people com- bine against the roughs the police will be helpless, We are now giving Shank Hill an idea of what life is without police protection. They are tired already and pretty soon will be ready to take back the polie terms. We have been called cowards for not summarily suppressing dis- order, but we hove to wake a more lasting peace by convineing the better clusses that tne police deserve and must have their sup- port in return for the protection afforded, TRIPING THE POLICE. Look at last Wednesday night when the boys stretehied a chain across Peter's Hill, and then with stones provoked the police to chiege. The best people thought it great fun toseo the police go head over heels when tripped by the chiain, But suppose a dozen cavalrymen had been thus killed, Suppose the roughs liad forced the police to five, Who would Liave been to blame for the re- ot the rioting—the police or the re- Re- unless they ‘This incident hias been, by tle wa. exaggerated by many correspondents who did not see it, It was SIMPLY A Pl of doubtful werit, was only to provoke the police to charge, was not ot real rioting. of the rloti greatly ACTICAL JOKE and the stone-throwing 1t 1 faet no renewal i3 thought possible until after Sexton’s contested election is de cided.

August 27.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Ber.|—The practical result of to«day’s meeting of the Orange leaders and the town authorities has been the formation of a vigilance committee, con the principal merchants, pro ynal men, ete., of the disturbed district lged to suppress robbery and blackm y hoodlums and assist the police to arrest disorderly persons of cither party cal hundred names have alyeady been obtained for this committee, which agrees to be- come responsible for the veace in the Shank Hill district if only native policemen are placed there. This has been unofficially promised by the police authorities who, how- express doubts of the committee’s ability to earry ont its promise of protection for the police. 1€ it acts on its pledzes it will be the first time in the history of Belfast that respectable people have combined to arrest and convict roughs of their own party. P trols of eavalry and infantry still continue active picket duty in all the wmain streets of the disturbed districts in order to prevent lousebreaking and similar crimes, which have lately become alarmingly prevalent. BELFAST sisting of ever, CAPTURED THE FORT. Tenant Saunderson Eviot Hand to Hand Fight. DrnLiy, August 25, —[New York Herald Cable—Special tothe Beg] — Lord Clanticarde has won a vietory over Saunderson—the mar- quis trinmphs over the peasant. Eight hun- dred were toomany for thirty, At daylight all the churel bells for miles around the fort bezan to peal, horns were blown, and the peoy sembled to witness 200 soldiers, constables, fifty emergency men and a score of bailiffs capture the fort. That this would be doue was a foregone conclusion when the ram and Its protective little roof arrived. One can see what the latter means by referring to the pictorial edition of Josephus, In Roman times a shed protected the batteries trom slings, arrows and mis- siles, 11 Salisbury’s time it protects them frow the lime and hot water of the besieged tenants. ‘The soldiers were formed in a field near the house WITIE FIXED BAYONETS. This was to overawe the people. The crowd was soon thousands strong, but the re- monstrances of the parish priests against vio- lence were mote effective, and the black frock and beads more awe-inspiring, than the crowds and shining steel. Around the louse two relays of police were posted, one supporting the other; which formed the storming party. The bailiffs and their as- sistants earried sealing. ladders, Others had plekaxes and crowbars.: The ram was placed in position against the side of a stone wall. The ladders had been raised and the tools made ready for work when TORRENTS OF DOILING WATER were thrown out fromvthe loopholes by the men inside, together with handfuls of wet lime, Sowe of the emergency men proved not to be such, and:ran howling away il places were taken by the other squad with pickaxes which, on the roof, did what neither rain nor erowbars could, and soon made holes i the roof. These holes, however, aided tho hot.water men in getting: fresh opportunities. Nature furnished the latter with unexpeetod allies. Bees, which were hiving in the ratters, rushed out at the beleaguers, stinging thein. ‘The police were ordered to storm the openings when A IIAND TO IAND FIGID oceurred, which lasted many minutes, But numbers prevailed and thelaw oflicers were victorious, After seeing the game wasup, about twenty insiders rushed out, carrying rude vessels filled with hot water, which they dashed in the faces of the police. Some w aided by the popu- lace and escaped. The rest of them, with about thirty defenders, were captured and handeuffed. Meanwhile the great popular tunult gave them more scalders. “Time to throw it harder,” and like exclama- tions of encouragenient were heard mingling After a with the groans of the people and the odd cries of women and children. The first act of the emergency men was to PULL DOWN THE GREEN FLAG which for days had been floating from the chimney. When the defenders were brought out they weré greeted by the populace with sympathy, The hero of the occasion, however, was a bailiff named Page, who during the storming got excited and exclaiming, “Too bad, I resign,” handed his big truncheon to one of the parish priests amid the xultation of the masses, who surrounded Page, There was no injurious disturbance orriot even when Saunderson, who found the maxim untrue, “A man’s house is his castle,” was led away escorted by the mili- tary. ‘I'his offense of armed resistance to the law by the tenants isa serious on Many of the previously sting tenants have already been indieted, and are to be tried on Monday at Collinsloe.

Bishop, the man who nouneed that he would jump from a bal over the brid 1o did not appear, how ever, and the last accounts of him state that he jumped the town of Lowell, Mass., owing three days board bill. The police on duty on the bridee this morning read of Bishop's Jump, and were congratulating themselves upon the fact that they would probably not be troubled by him for a time at least. While they were talking about Bishop and his “jump,” a young man, all prepared for the oceasion, eluded their vigilanee and jumped trom the center spau at the south roadway of the bridge. e was picked up by friends in a boat, who were waiting for him, rowed ashore and arrested. Lawrence Donovan, the hero of this latest jump, is a pressman in the Police Gazetteoftice. Witliam Reid, fore- man of the press room, says tnat Donovan’s vlan to jump from the bridge was definitely formed about two weeks ago, during a dis- pute in the office one night about the cnances of escaping from it alive. Donovan finally said he was not afraid to try the jump that killed Odlum, so a bet of $500 was arranged with Foreman Reid. The preparations were made at once and last night all was ready. Everybody in the Police Gazette building knew about it, and all were anxious to witness the jump. Don- ovan dul not work last night. He slept in the building, however, and was aroused at 4:30. Ho was immediately dressed for the jump. A pair of heavily padded drawers were put 01, 11is shoes were of blue canvas, the soles of ‘which were weighted with two pounds of lead. Thus attired a light break- fast was partaken of and Donovan and a friend proceeded to the bridge entrance, near which @ wagon was inwaiting. They jumped on boara and_were driven to the center of the bridge, where the distance to the water is about’ twenty-cight feet more than from the point where Brodie jumped into the East river. The printers and. press- en employed on the morning newspapers in force at Dover street dock to. see aring act, and a boat was rowed out into stream ' to pick up Donovan. the wagzon was halted Donovan 1, leaved quickly over the rail_and let nimself down to the heavy eable which sup- ports thebridee. Donovan now looked up- ard again, held his head straight and his feet together, and let go. Soon after being picked up, he said: “I went straight down—straightas a plumb line —and did not loose my senses at all, 1t seemed a long time oms down—as many minutes as it probably was seconds—but T didn’t tarn nor swerve froma straight line, 1 struck the water with a clash and wenf right through. I was well protected with padding, so that no harm could come to me. Vhoen I eame up to the surface I was not ex- hausted, and was able to swim a hundred yards or 8o to the boat. They pulled na_out ud took me o the pier,” where 1 was arrested.”” o Donovan was arraigned at the bar of the Tombs police court this afternoon, The court room was fitled with friends of the jumy Judee Dufly said: “This fellow wanted to excel Brodie and thinks he's going to be a Biero and pose in_ some dime museum.” e then questioned the bridge policeman and a tram_conductor, but neither could say that Donovan had jumped from the bridge. The policeman’s attention was attracted to a number of vehicles stopping and_the drivers looking down into the water, *“Then what is there,” said Justice Dufly, “'to show that this man is not a fraud? e way have got afew men to et in a boat and row out under the bridge and had his friends make a gicat ado and say the man had jumped from the bridse.”” Donovan then Said e did make the jump, and then an afi- davit was made ott accordingly, based on Donovan's admnission “that he jumped from the bridze into the East river and thercby tructions to the vehiel on the “T'he case was again brought up and Duify reiterated his_ former opinion. savidd he, *this thing of jumping off high going over cataracts at Niagara, ete.,by 0ons t be stopped.
