The impression in the Lobby is that a great advance has been made towards a settlement on Home Rrle; certainly the civil war menace bas been vanished.

Compromise Likely. Yesterday's discussion is not accepted as conclurive. The position is admittedly difficult, but it is hoped that a further debate will lead to a compromise, though possibly not before the Bill reaches the House of Lords.

Next Debate.

The second reading of the Home Rule Bill will probably be resumed on the 30th. inst.
