Aumist Zi. fXew York Herald Cable-Special to tlio UiiKl Tlio debate on Mr. I'm mill's amendment , which came to a close nt about I this moinlng , was ono of the most powerful and best sustained we have had in the house of commons for many ycais. Parnell's own speech was singularly Impressive , and was acknowledged such by nil who listened to it Mi. Gladstone was almost at his best I mean Ids best of recent jcars. Chambeilain's bitter , spiteful and malignant speech was , as a mere piece of patllamentary polemic and rhetoric , the finest display bo lias ever made. Labouchero was delightfully sarcastic mid dioll. 1 cannot say anything hlirber In praise of Sexton than to declare that while everybody was awaiting Ids speech with the most Intense anxietv , no one was disappointed with It when It came. A roiincio.VH CONCI.USIO.V. Of course the amendment was defeated by nlarne majority. This was expected nnd was , Indeed , Inevitable. Mr. Gladstone and many other liberals who avowed themselves favorable to the principle of the amendment , abstained fiom voting on the ground that It \vouldnotbe reason.iblo to ask too much from the government at the veiy moment of their coming Into olllco. Two of our Irish members are away in Ameiica. One other , who was In the house of commons all the time , abstained from voting nnd even fiom taking Ids seat , In the formal sense of the woul , because ho wns advised on thy best lojral authority that by taking his seat tor the county which lately elected him he might piejudlce his claim to be dcclaied elected on n petition of the sitting member for an ulster city , which bo contested at the general elec tion. The actual meinbets. therefore , who voted for Parnell's amendment do not by any means lepresent the number of men in the commons ! who favor Its object. O.VK onr.AT HISUI.T : of the debate Is that the Irish landloid's chances of being bought out at the cost of the rent payers of three kingdoms Is gone for ever. Gladstone's pamphlet on the Irish question , which has just been published , makes it clear that he will never a aln try nnd attempt to buy out the Irish landlords. "Their sands are fast tunning out , " he said In his speech In the commons last session. Ills pamphlet now declares In substance that their sands have run out. A ct'wous Hinirr. In the commons thlssession ono sees a cur ious sight. As most of your readers know , what Is called the tiont opposition bench the bench which faces the treasury bench , on which ministers sit Is usually occupied by members of thogovernmcntwhlchhave latest gone out of ofllcc. Men who come Into olllce occupy the treasmy bench , while the men turned out occupy the fiontopposltlon bunch. This time , however , Ilaitlngton and Cham berlain , who helped to turn out Gladstone's goveinmont , Insisted on the right to sit on the fiont opposition bench , on the ground that they am still Ilbcials , still members of Gladstone's party In their general princlnles , nnd woio members of Gladstone's govern incut. The lusiilt of this resolve has been thai men langed side by side on the same bench get up and IIKNOUNCU IACII oTiir.n Tvlthall the fervor of political rivalry , fury and peiaonal hate. Chamberlain stands up Justbesldo John Motley and rattles at Morley - ley as If the two had been life-long opponents. Harcourt gets up and declaim ? away vigor ously and vehemently at Chamberlain , who Is sitting on the same bench nnd just under his eyes. I remember Disiacli once humor ously complaining to the house of Glad stone's energy of invective , and observing , miild the delighted laughter of the house , that ha was often glnd to remember that very solid plecu of fuinltnro stood between the right honorable gentleman and himself. That solid piece ot futnltnio was n table placed between the treasury and the opposi tion bnnches , coveied with reference books , Etnndlng orders and big despatcbo boxes. A CIIANCl ! FOItl'UdlUblS. lint now , In the now divisions of paities , the iiiotcction of n solid piece of furniture Is not always of nuy avail , If , in some future debate , Chamberlain should sting Haicoiut Into uncoiiipii'iablo fiuy , theruls no ban let between the two men nothing to piovonl Haicourl simply falling with all his vast bulk and weight upon the slender form Of the hapless Chambeilain nnd crushing him out oi existence. Uncc , In the coin-so of his speed on Thursday , Chambcilaln was interrupter by bimuiiomaikfiom n tormer colleague it ofilco--Hairy Fowler. Clumbeilaln got angry , and , looking sharply at Fowler , who was sitting at tlio same dcik miltu ne.tr , said the roinnik was nonsense. Suppose , now thnt Fowler had lost his temper. What bar- rlerwastheio topievcnt him trom addicting Ills lemonstninco to Chamberlain's lett eye * Something will have to be done. IN TUi ; OLD DAYS. I think In days long past It used to be the way with the men of both parties to sit side by tide. Many a time ilia Sir Itobert Wai jiolomid Putney pitch Into each other fi on the-sell-same bench. Hut om generation has never before seen any thing of the kind. I adds immensely to the oddity of the whole condition of things. IVihaos , when Cham bcrlaln Is backing up the torles and denonne itigthe Irish luitlonalUts , when Han-omth , tbuudcrliiE for k < mio rule and speaking as If ho rather preferred Parnoll to his own brother , It Is but natural that there should bo some curious novelty , also , in the outward ispect nt the debate. HAuroniT is A "Tiuvor MAN. lie made n very povvei fill speech last nluht. I do not know that ho ever spoke so power- 'ullj before. Probibly ho Is spirited on now by a flesh hope of the succession of the lib- ; ral leadership , which at one time seemed osl to him futevor. Now that llnrtlnuton , Jhimbuilaln and Dilkonro out of the way , ils chance shines again. This probibly anl- nated him with added power. I wish any one could think that Hntrouit is sincere , but if any nnn does think anything of the kind I certainly never heard anv one say It , Jl'sTtN MtCAItrilY. THIS SITUATION SUMMKI ) UP.

TKII , August28. fXcw York Herald Cable- Special to the IHi : : , | The result of th" divi sion on Saturday morning was n foregone conclusion. Itthcicfoie could not have taken an > bed > b ) sutpiise But the largeness of the majority of the government seemed to take the opposition aback. This Is accounted for when one considers the number of the lib eral abstentions , Many walked out of the house , following the example of Harcourt and other piomlnont Gladstonlans. Parnell imiit have known that he could not win , but be looked dejected , ns did his pai ty genernlly , w hen the numbers were announced. There never having been nny doubt on the toty side , there was xo GIIIAT : nxn.TATiotf at the victory. Thoeheois were soon over , and the house quickly dispersed , worn out by the hot nlghi and by nearly nine hours Bitting. The debate , In spite of every elfoit last night , llaggod much. Sexton could not fail to score good hits hero and theie , but It was generally admitted that he did not eiinal his usual form. Ilarcomt was hampciod by his past iccord , and found moie difficulty than ordinary In casting oil his avowed opinions. On bis declaring land purchase to bohencefoith quite distinct fiom the home rule question , taunts at THIS NT.W SOVIintSAUl.T were levelled at him from both sides , lint In making the statement he evidently only fullilled the Insinuations left by Glad stone. The gcncial line of dlscaiding the land purchase bill Is clcaily Indicated In Mr. Gladstone's pamuhlet , Issued to-day. When Sir Michael Hicks-lteach asked him If his chief had iiuthoii/cd him to make an an nouncement , he replied , "You will see In a few hours. " The cntlie Ilbet.il paity , except Morley , have demanded that the puiclmse scheme bo thrown oveiboaid. The course Morley will take is looked for with sonic lu- teiest , because ho has always constantly de clared that the two plans are inseparable. So Dublin was very glum last night when Har court was making his statement , Hohad not seen the Gladstone pamphlet , and possibly the revelation came on him by surprise. One thing is certain , namely , that the LAND I'L'itcii.vsi : SCIITMI : is DIAD. : No party daie levlso it. The lory patty. It Is quite clear , could not suppoit any such proposition. Whether there was any use in having , a heavy defeat registered against them thus eaily , the Pamcllites doubtless know best. In what Its usefulness consists Is not obvious to others. Such a harmonious majority must necessarily discourage the lank and file , and go far towaids convincing the public that the homo rule party is help less In ptiliamcnt. The abundant rumors in circulation of n split among tint unionists in the libcial camp are all knocked summailly in the head. It anybody supposed Cham berlain or Haitingtoii was Inclined to return to the true told , yesterday morning's de cision undeceived him. The position re mains as indicated two weeks ago. While a separate paillamcnt In Dublin Is the plat form ot the liberal party under Gladstone , the secessionist will stand out practically for division. Yesterday may bo taken as de noting the course of future events. The an ticipations that the toiles will take up Glad stone's policy are MKIU : cmi.mmi DP.EAMS. Their leaders nnd followers nlike believe the country dead opposed to that policy. Consequently it would bo sheer madness to adont It. This is their view , right or vviong , and , holding it lirmly , they are not -likely to follow in Gladstone's path or bring In any measuio establishing a separate parliament. cnAMiii.iti , UN'S IITICTIVI : : : si'iicir. Chamberlain's speech , undoubtedly the most effective delivoied throughout tlm debate - bate , showed wonderful lenliness , In spite ot continual Interruption , and great quick ness of icpartee. He stiuck out light and left with uncirlng success. This even Ids opponents concede. It Is notsurptising that ho stirred up much agitation in the Irish party and the mote Impulsive members showed temper Indlscietcly. Even the Pall Mall Ga/etto on Friday , though supposing the Paincllito cause , had a few words of re monstrance against violence In parliament. The Irish leaders aio Ireo fiom blame they are always decoious but some of their loi1 lowers need a Irlondly hint. O.hei wise pub lic prejudice may bo 111010 deeply excited against them than ever. P.irllamuntaiy dis order can do no uooil now , bo the llnal results what they may. A COM ) KACT TO PACK. The fact must bo faced that a majoilty of those letuined to this house aio against a separate parliament tor liDland. Thu union ists on both sides of the house will adhere to that decision , but the Painollitcs and Glad stonlans hope to Indiico the country to in verse. It. Modciatlon , the loadeis well know , may do what violence never can. It la not to bo denied that troubled times nro before the country , such ns nro calculated to severely try nil sections. Hut the gravity of the eilsls obviously supplies all the more icason for the exciclso of patiencu and modervtton , unless Ireland is to be plunged Into the IIOI'.UOKS OK CU'II , VV.KIt. Other amendments to thunddicss will bo pressed , but assuredly with the same icsnlt.

Tlio Ilbcials havii not jet Issued any uigeiit call to their sui > po > ters. Indeed , It was whispered on Fililay night that the chlet liberal whip was keeping his men out of the house , This would account for the empty bunches and the weakness on division of thu party.

[ Special Cablegram to the Ui.B.1 Gladstone's pamphlet on the Irish question ends with a postscript , dated the tM of August , and which Is ns follows : "Since these pages were written the princi pal Intentions of the ministers in respect to Irehnd have been announced. The states men who In January deemed coeiclvo measures an absolute necessity , do not now propose them , although agrarian crime has rather Increased and Ireland has been per turbed , so they said , by the proposal of homo rule. This is A 1IKAVV 11T.OW TO Cor.llClOX and a matked sign of pro rcss. 1 am con strained to say that on no other head do the announcements supply nny causes for con- cratitlntlon. l.ariro Itish subjects , ilpo for treatment , are to be referred to commissions of Inquiry. This Is a policy , while social order Is in question , of almost Indclinlto delay. Moreover , while a commission Is to Inquire whether the rates of judicial rents are or are not such ns can bo paid , the aid of the law for levying the present rents In No vember has been spcclalli nnd emphatically promised. This Is a marked illscoitia eiucnt to remissions of rent and a poweiful STIVIUI.tlS TO EVICTIONS. A project has been sketched ot Imposing upon the state the payment of all moneys icqulrcd to meet the difference between these actual rents and what the land can fnlily bear. This project is , in piinclplc , radically bid , and it would bo an act of rapine oti the ticasuiy of the country. Wheicas the great est evil to Ireland Is that Us ministerial and administrative systems aio felt to be other than lush , no proposal is made for the ns- conbtruction of what Is known as Ilt.ltI.lN CASII.K OOVnilN'MllNT. It Is proposed to spend large sums of public money on public vvoiks of all kinds for the material development of Iieland under Kug- llsh authority and Dublin castle administra tion. This plan is , In the highest degree , wasteful. It Is unjust to the Biitish tax pajer , and it is an obvious attempt to divert the Irish nation , by pecuniary Inducements , from Its honoiable nim of national self-gov ernment , and will as such be resented. The limitation of local go\eminent hi Ireland to what may at this moment bedcsned foi Gtcnt Britain is just to none ot our nationalities , rests upon no recognbcd principle , and is cs pecially an unju > t limitation of Irish national desire. In my opinion , such a policy tor dealing with tlio Irish people ought not to be and cannot be adopted. " TUB lU2Ij"AST SITUATION" . Pranks By tlio Houghs Rut No Kc- nuwal or lliotin < ; .

Forced loans and other in convenient icsults of mob rule had become so unbearable this week that to-day the Or ange leaders and the Shank Hill shopkeep ers met Major Harland and the police ofll- ceis to discuss plans by which the police should resume duty at Shank Hill , with the promise of the aid of all respectable people towaid the suppression of petty ci lines.

This Is now retused , but certainly , Shank Hill is so over-run with loutrhs gath ered fiom all narts of the city that the icsl- dents must soon term the desired vigilance committee to help the police siibduo the young hoodlums who have lived on rioting for so long that they are anxious ; to continue this Idle life.
