The determination announced on Tuesday to worry the Government as

thoroughly as possible was carried out by Sir W. Harcourt on Wednesday, in reference to Dr. Barr, the medical inspector of the Liverpool Prison, who gave evidence which so greatly incensed the Parnellites as to the condition of the Irish prisons; also with regard to the visit paid by Pigott to the convict Daly in Chatham Prison ; and again with regard to Mr. Anderson's communication to Major Le Caron, of the papers sent by the latter from the United States in relation to the Fenian conspiracy against England and Canada. The etack was very elaborate and very impotent. To any one wITo will take the pains to go through the debate, and to read Mr. Anderson's letter to Thursday's Times on his conduct with relation to Major Le Caron's letters, it will be quite evident that the attack utterly failed to make out any trace of an attempt on the part of the Government to back up the Times: ease with official influence.
