HOME RULE FOR IRELAND.

The adjourned debate on the amendment in the Land Bill inserted by the House of Lords at the instance of Government, relating to judicial rents, was resumed in the House of Commons last night, the clause being eventually carried by the application of the cloture. Mr Chamberlain and sever* Unionist members voted against the amendment. In the House of Lords to-day the Marquis* of Salisbury announced that Government had finally decided to proclaim the National League. London, August 21.

There is little popular excitement in Ireland at the National League being proclaimed under the Crimes Act. The Loyalists are exultant, but the Parnellites show a defiant attitude. The books, money, and papers belonging to the League have been removed to London. Lord Hurtington's followers support the proclamation. It is reported that a number of prominent English Liberals have decided to join in protesting against the proclamation being enforced. Mr Gladstone will probably move an address to the Crown against the proclamation. Sir Chas. Kusseil has withdrawn from the Unionists owing to the amendments made by the House of Lords in the Irish Land Bill. "United Ireland" states that promises have been made to the landlords of many concessions if they assist the proposals to adopt Home Rule. London, August 21.

It is announced that the Government will only take action to suppress the Irish National League in places where its working tenorises and interferes with th£ law. The proclamation requires the sanction of the Parliament,, and the debate on the subject in the Commons is fixed for Thursday next.
