In the House at herds. on the filth February. the Marquis-cf Clanricardc moved the second reading of his hill to amend the tenure of land system in Ireland. A long debate ensued. The Marquis of Clanrlcards contended that the proposals made by Mr. Bright and others would injure the Irish agricultural classes by driving away large capitalists. The Earl of Kimberly, (an 0"“ .Lieutenant of Ireland). strongly advocated the speed adoption of liberal remedial measures. The Earl of nlmesbury. acting as temporary leader of the house. intimated that he would not oppose the early stage of any bill brought in by the noble martptls. but for after that he would not pledgc himself.

On Monday last there was an informal meeting of the leaders of t 0 Liberal party at Mr. Gladstone's re- sidence. We have reason to believe that no declnlo was arrived at respectingan immediate action. but we believe that a meeting of ppoeition members will soon be held. and a determination come to as to what is best to be done IIINIOI’JNMIII circumstances. more particularly on the Irish hut-ch question. The latter will. undoubtedly be the battle field of the Liberals during the session. and there is in their ranks very much more unison of op’nion on this question than the Ministerial press gives them credit for.

An evsning contemporary states that in the seven years between 1861 and 1868. Italy—that is, the kings dent of Italy—has borrowed “15.800000! If any doubt is entertained of the fact. here are corroborative drtails:—-Bast i loan. 00.000000” Minglsetti loan. 28.800.000i - So a loan. l7.000.000(; routes created by Signor Sclalojn. 4.000.000“ routes of the worship ten . &c.. 4.000.000“ sale of States railways. 8.000.000“ State lands obligations. 0,000.000f; forced loan of l8“. l4.000.000l ; bank loan, 10.00000“; and Treasury bonds. 4.000.000. Thus Italy has been adding» bur indebtedness at the average rate of upwards of 0.000.- 000! per annnvn since 18“. ‘

We have heard it stated that Lord Derby's rest a. lion was mound. if not actually caused, by n

ted at a recent Cabinet Council in regard to the Iris question. The moisture. it see-s. had rustic up their minds to promise some measure in relation to the Irish Church which. it was hoped. light disarm the opposition of moderate Liberals. We cannot end to say what the scheme was. but it must certain y have gone further than the attempt to balance matters by grantin a charter to the Catholic University.

An important fragment of intelligence comes from Prussia. Krupp, of Essen. proposes to extend his al- ready vast establishment in order to manufacture iron plates to be used in the building of ships. The vessels of war which Prussia has hitherto ordered have been for the most part built in England; but the progress which Prussia has made in the arts necessary to the successful prosecution of that branch of indnsl during the last ten years is no marked and considcra In that It has been determined to commence the construction of steamers at home.

’I‘IIE ALABAMA DISCUSSION IN THE HOUSE ‘ 0F COMMONS.

The New Yoth press generally comment very furor- nbly upon the tone and tent er of the debate to the House of Commons en the A abamn claims. The New York Tiara says:—

'I‘lle temperance and intelligence of the debate are no less striking than the desire forjustico and good feeling which every speaker expressed. In making this re- msrk we had no intention of drawing any contrast with the debate in Congress on the saute t uesticn; but still it may be no harm to add. that no s ould think no less either of the statssmnnship or intellect of our represent. ntives. if. siler perusing this Parliamentary debate. they w’buld give us reason to believe. next time the question is before them, that they are on able at treating it in an equally admirable manner so spirit. We know that displays of froth and fury, Muster and bush, are thought by some lpeople to be very impressive.-snd we will not dispute t e point. as regards some politics; but we think that in international questions where foreigners observe our conduct. it would be well toretnin asmuoh self-pos- sognion as is consistent with the force of out determin- at on.

The Tribune contains the followtn criticism:—

The remarkable debate on the Aloha In claims which took place in the British I’nrliaavsnt on Friday night. ought to convince us that if there is say inseparable ob staclc to a speed settlement of 0:: dispute with Eng- land. tbat obstsc e raust exist with ourselves All par- ties in Great Britain are anxious that the matter should be set at rest. There are few who are not ready to meet us hair-way; and sunny of the leadin statesmen are ready to admit nearly everything we e as. and a - point a mixed consul-ten immediately to settle e amount of damages. What, then. is the point of difi‘sr- cuce between the two Governments? Simply this: Mr. Seward maintains that the British Government acknow- lodged the rebels as belligerents sooner than it had an rig t to do so: that this acknowledgement was a mater - al aid and comfort to them, and that an arbitrator must take it into consideration before the indemnity due no can be properly adjusted. Lord Stanley will not admit this; and so the matter stands.

Now. whatever may be said of the justice of on? po- sition ( and it is by no means certain that it is ust. for the first person to recognise the Rebels as be Ii events was not Queen Victoria but President Lincoln.) it ought not to be forgotten that what we really want is not ads- elstou of this question of belli rrsncy. but the payment of damages. Grant thath Stanley is right; that the moment any large fiagtnent of a notion takes up arms to scout its independence. all the rest of the world has a right to acknowledge it as n belligerent: who will profit by the admission 0 the doctrine so much as ourselves— we who have always been prompt to recognise and en- onnrsgs gypular insurrections against despotic powsrsl Besides. Ir. Seward. be it remembered, does not ask that an umpire shall decide upon the justice of the re- cognition. IIc only wants the arbiter to turn the matter over in his mind; to see what hearing it may have upon the question of responsibility. and perhaps the amount of damages. But the asibtilty is not seriously de- nied in England. Ifuny ending statesmen are ready to admit it at the start. and to res to a raised comme ion for settling the claims waurthsr preliminaries. At any rate we risk little or not ng by waiving lfr. Sewnrd‘s point. and leaving history to renounce upon the precise time when the Southern fgdsrates he- calls belligerents in the sense of lntarnabensl law. That they acquired belligerent nghts in the course of the war rte-body denies; that the acquired the- before the Alabama pet to see. we the can hardly be disput- ed. Mr. Seward‘s difficulty therefore is mainly a mat~ tsrefsentinseat, and canon seriously altos the real aeration atissus. which is the amount of com snsatlou
