[pee press agency.] Scent in the House of Commons. Bombay, July 27. Obstructiveness on the part of a few Irish members has culminated in an unprecedented scene in the House of Commons. Mr C. W. Parnell, member for Meath, has been ordered to leave the House, and has been suspended until Friday, when Sir Stafford Northcote submits a motion to alter the rules so as to facilitate business.

AUSTRALIAN NEWS.

[Per Ringarooma.] [per press agency.] The Ringarooma at the Bluff. Bluff, July 28, The s.s. Ringarooma, with the Suez mail, has arrived. Melbourne, July 22. Parliament has been mostly engaged during the week discussing the Railway Construction Bill, it being decided to rush it through as speedily as possible, as other colonies are also proceeding with contracts, taking away contractors and men. Only one petition has as yet been decided by the Election Committee, and that was in favour of the sitting member. Colonel Joseph Anderson, a Peninsula hero, has died, aged 88. Sir William Jervois has been very ill, but is now slowly recovering, though he is still unable to perform any duty. The cable remains interrupted between Penang and Singapore. The West Australia line is expected to be open for traffic by the end of next month. _ j In the libel case against the proprietor of the “Police News” the jury were unable to agree. No date is yet fixed for the financial statement. Probably it will not be made until after the Railway Bill has been disposed of. The weather has been cold, with heavy fogs. Markets are dull, Breadstuffs are firm.

PARLIAMENTARY.

Last light’s Proceedings. Wellington, July 28. The House resumed the debate on the Charitable Institutions Bill at 7.30 last night. A number of speakers condemned the Bill, on the grounds that it was unjust in principle in casting the support of charitable institutions upon private benevolence, that the machinery provided by the Bill would never achieve the object in view, that the work should be undertaken by the State, and if the revenue would not bear it then have an income and land tax. The speakers opposing the Bill were Dr. Wallis, Messrs Stevens (who moved that it be read that day six months), Kelly, Eces, Travers, Wakefield, Lusk, Shrimski, and Fisher. The members supporting the second reading were the Premier, Messrs Gisborne, Ballance, Lumsden, Murray-Aynsley, Woolcock, Burns, and Kowe. They urged that the principle was sound, and had worked well in Otago and other parts of the colony, besides in the other colonies, that it would stimulate the benevolence and the self reliance of the people, that the system of providing for these institutions by the central authority was fraught with fatal consequences, and that a poor law was most demoralising. At 12.15 a.m. the Government resisted the adjournment of the debate, and gained their point by 31 against 25. Alter a couple more speakers the House adjomml ft J 2.45, tho Govnraaacftt aofc opposing,
