London, March 7. Tho disgraceful scene at midnight in tho House of Commons scandalised tho great majority of the members, including tho Radicals.

Tho Education Vote was the causo of tho scene.

The voto was afterwards passed unchallenged. Of the ejected membors Patrick White, of North Meath, was carried in the fashion of a “ frog’s march,” but face upwards. The removal of Captain Donclain, of Cork East, was accompanied by boisterous demonstrations, Ins colleagues chanting seditious songs. Flavin, of Kerry North, who is a g-’ in stature, and who was tho ringleader, was carried out last, his captors each hanging on to a limb.
