The House of Commons now has the estimates of expenditure under consideration, and the Irish members are blocking the passage of the different votes. The Government has consequently demanded that the consideration of the supplies should be declared " urgent," and tbat the same should be done in tbe case of a bill to restrict the sale and possession of arms in Ireland now before the House.
