The Irish Debate.
LONDON. AUODST 25. In the House of Commons to-day the debate commenced on the motion of Mr Gladstone, " That the House should disallow the proclamation against the Irish National League, as the necessity for the same has not been proved." Mr Gladstone said he deprecated boycotting, but the League, he declared, had brought invaluable benefits to the Irish people. Mr Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland, in reply, stated that nearly five thousand persons were being boycotted, and he con> tended that the League labours to destroy landlords, not to protect the tenants. The debate was finally adjourned.
