LONDON, March 3.—In the House ol Commons last evening, Mr. Patten, the Conservative member for North Lan cast ire, resumed the debate on the Trish question. He urged the withdrawal ol the mot-ion for: a committee to devise further measures, and to grant greater powers to enable the Government to repress this mi.-chiefof secret combinations in Ireland, and particularly in West Meath county, and return to the policy of authorizing the Government to suspend the writ of habeas corpus in cases of necessity. He said the Government had, by its motion, confessed failure in its Irih policy.

Mr. Gladstone in reply objected to the course suggested by the member from North Lancashire, which he sai was based on the exaggerated statement of Mr. Gasden.

In the course of further discussion, and iu reply to me reniarksof Mr. Disraeli, he said foe was quite willing to see that gentleman exult over the supposed superiority9of the Tory policy, which was simply that of conquest. In the meantime the Earl might postpone the inquiry if it were found on investigation to be untimely and premature. The Premier asserted that the Government would violate the Constitution if it should suspend the habeas corpus unless the necessity for such action was first assured by inquiry. Air. Gladstone concluded by a warm appeal for the adoption of the motion before the House. The Premier was evidently ill, and exhibited signs of anxiety. Sir ltobert Peel and other numbers followed in a vigorous attack upon tlie Government, asserting that it was action, aud not investigation, that was wanted—action which opposition would gladly back to check dissatis-

The Solicitor General thought to interpose, and denounced the ingratitude which has been shown to the leader who had insured the passage of so many important measures without ever before incurring the denunciation of a feeble minded Tory. He characterized Mr. Disraeli as "Shakespeare's Lean Apothecary," whose poverty and not his will drove him to such resources.

At this point it was ved for an adjournment of the debate, but Messrs. Disraeli and Gladstone both protested against closing the debate, and defeated the motion.

Jieso/ved, That in view of the difliculies involved in the performance of the Speaker of tl.is House, and of the conspicuously able, courteous, ig lified and impartial discharge of tin se duties by Hon. James G. Maine during the present Congress, it is eminently becoming that our thanks be tendered, and they are hereby tendered therefor.

He said. Before sever ng our relations as members 01 11.i- Congress it is due to the Honorable Speaker that this resolution should receive 110 mere formal ap proval. Tlie gentlemen of the publican party have already testified their appreciation of Mr. Blaine, by hisrenoniinali ill without opposition as the presiding officer of this House in the Forty-third Congress. Their approval of this, re.-o-ution is already au earnest, as well as a foregone conclusion. Kroni the opposition, which is apt to be more harshly critical upon a Speaker in their adverse party, this tribute is conspicuously proper. He has been fair and just to is amid all our contentions and debates. Such expressions tend to beget and increase good wiil ami agreement, which is a rule of loiiic and rhetoric, and is inlispvnsable iu, ihedi sell a rge of our es. Not alone in committees, but in the House there is great need of amenities

debate. Moderation and benignity are at times almost impossible. Clamor will sometimes rule here, and no officer can calm it. l.et us cultivate charities in debate, and the feelings engendered will extend to the people of all sections. We may thus not only remove many prejudices so often hurled at this branch of Congress by the unthink ng, but illustrate those Christian virtues which make up the daily beauty of life.
