An unprecedented rp.^iio occurred iv ihe House of Common'! last ni^bl. Just before the closure was finally applied to tbo Homo Kulo Bill, Mr. Chamberlain taunted tho M iuisterialistß with regarding every scheme emanating from the Premier as perfect. If, said he, Mr. Gladstone called anything- black, they eaid it was good ; if white, it vi a3 better. They always considered his dictum ns tho voice of God. Never since the days of Horod had there been such slavish adulation. Amid a Bcene ot wild confusion. Mr. Mellor, the Chairman of tho Committee, enforced the closure. Disorder reigned supremo. The Government Party cheered, and shouts of rage mingled with erica of " SiiBmo," '' The Rag," " Time," and " Judaa " weie hoard from all parts of the Chamber. Mr. Chamberlain rose to put a question, tut had to confine himself to dumb show. The Ministerialists refused to allow him to bo heard, and kept up an inces-ant noise Mr. Vieary Gibbs, Conservative member for St Albans, amid a medley of inarticulata bellowings, also tiied to get the Chairman's ear, in order to report Mr. T. P. O'Connor, vho, he said, had insulted Mr. Chamberlain by roitorated cries of " Judas." Ho do'manded that tho word Ehonld bo taken down. Mr. Moller ignored Mr. Gibbs' proposal, trad said be had not heard the epithet. He then ordered tho division to proceed t-ome Ministerialists obeyed, but tho bulk of the Opposition refused to go into the lobbies until their claim for justieo was attended to. Suddenly n. fierce meUe occurred on tbo floor of the House, and the Speaker was summoned. Mr. O'Connor thon apologised, and the Bill finally passed through Committee.

I SPECIAL. I London, 28th July. Mr. Arnold Foster, during the scene in the, House, shouted out, " Why associate with bloody Irish rebels?" Mr. Fisher, Conservative tnembor for Fulham, throw Mr. Logan, of Leicester, from his Beat, and Colonel Saunderson squared up to and hit Mr. Austin, of Limerick, and Mr. Crean, of Oesory. The latter responded manfully, and the Nationalists and the Tories thon broke out into a free fight, swearing and shouting on all sides at each other. Mr. J. Redmond, in the course of an interview, gavo his \ iews upon the immediate result of Homo Rule. Ho thought tho priests would practically elect the first Parliament, and afterwards the Catholic minority who objected to clerical influence would unite with the Protestants and form a strong Opposition.
