The Third Reading.

HOME RULE FOR IRELAND. TO BE TAKEN ON THURSDAY. [By Eleoybio Telegbafh—Copyright] {UNITED PfiEflg ASSOCIATION.] London, May 15. The debat© on the third reading of the Home Rule Bill begins on Thursday. PRESS COMMENT. Times and Sydney Sun Services. London, May 10. The Westminster Gazette states that the amending Home Rule Bill will give the option to the lister Counties to count themselves out of Home Rule, and create a commission to delimit areas and separate the functions of the two administrations which will exist in Ireland. The British Weekly declares that after the concesson of six years interval by the Nationalists there is no stopping short of the option when the six years are ended. Let none imagine that the Liberal party will go to the country on the question of the coercion of Ulster. The Chronicle says it is unlikely that the amending Bill will be introduced before June 10, for the reason that it is believed to be strictly limited in scope, and not to present anything like a broad front for criticism and attack. It will probably take power to appoint a commission to draft a scheme for the administration of the excluded areas.
