On the reassembling of tho court Jan. 17th, tho Attorney General announced that he would abandon the 19th count, and the evl dence of the evicted tenants was concequcntly ruled as Inaamlssable. O'Donoughue then closed the evidence for the defense. Mc Lauchlln, who Is specially retained on he half of Brennan, made a telling speech. He said the prosecution was undertaken In be half of the landlords, who were hereditary enemies ot peaceful rule In Ire and While Parnell and Dillon wcro begging relief In America the landlords even denied tho ex istence of distress.

He was 67 years old and married his wife two years ago when she was 17. He was abuslvo and jealous, and she bad deserted him. ENGLAND. It is generally rumored in tbo lobby ot tho House of Commons that Gladstone Is to bo created Earl ot Hawarden. Tho London Times in its financial ar ticle says: "Tbo Bank ot France has tried to cure the gold drain by Issuing notes. This has failed, as was predicted. It is quite pos sible now that' the only resort for the bank Is to fall back on a silver standard, persuading as many other countries, as they canto join them." In tho Houso ot Commons, Chaplin, Conservative member from Lincolnshire, gave notice that he would move, February 29, to prohibit the Importation ot cattle from coun tries where disease is known to exist, as tbelr slaughter on landing baa proved losufilclent. In tho Houso of Commons tho dobato on Forstcr's coercion hill was resumed.

Gladstono In tho Houso of Com mons said that the dissatisfaction cx tstlng In. Great Britain at tho exclu sive occupation of tho Houeo with Irish aflilrs had not escaped the attcn tlon of the government, which would eventu ally propose such steps that they might think admlssablo. He declared that tho debate on tho second reading of the bill for the protec tion ot llfo aud property In Ireland should commence the day following tho first reading, which he certainly expects at this sitting. Labouchero advanced lor tho Liberals, and spoko strongly In opposition to tho meas ure. William Honry Smith, Conservative, and formerly First Lord of the Admiralty, rose to a question of order, and said that Par nell was ono of eleven members who had spoken thirty-three times en motions for ad J jurnmcnt. Smith summoned Dr. Playfatr to name Parnell as guilty ot willful obstruction. Dr. Playfatr ruled that a sufficient case was not made out for such a proceeding, Mllbank, Conservative member for Yorkshire, roso to a point of order. Ho said Blggar had Just p plied to him the epithet of "fool" with a fou prefix. Playfatr ruled that tho expression was disorderly. It was at this point In tho proc eedings that Bright roso and made tho declar ation previously reported. In tho Houso of Commons n division was taken, nnd the government obtained leave to bring In a bill for the protection of llfo nnd property In Ireland, KM to 19. The liomc Halo members left tho House In a body, and tbo bill was read for tho first time, tho second reading being flx'd for noon. Tho Houso then adjourned, hating been In session continuously for forty-two hours. Just beforo tho Speaker Interposed, Blggar concluded his speech by expressing a wish for the success of Fenlanism. It Is under stood that the appeal to tho chair to stop tho obstruction was agreed upon by both Llbcra's and Conservatives. Tho Speaker was ic- featcdly and enthusiastically cheered. The voto of 101 to 19 was that rejecting the amendment to adjourn debate. The motion being put that leave be elven to bring In thr protection bill tho Home R iters fcrtwomlnutes scouted, "Privilege 1 ptlvllegel" and then, as the Sptakcrrcmalned standing, they left the House In a body, bowing to tho Speaker and the members cbecrlog their departure. Leave to bring In tho bill was then given unanimous ly. The St. James Gazette, In a leading arti cle headed "Anarchy Complete," adversely ruicizes tno course pursued by tho Speaker. aud declares that Gladstone's proposal con tains none of those careful and liberal provls.
