[ebtjteb’s telegrams/) LONDON, February 1. Arrived—Waimea, from, the Bluff ; Waitangi, from Lyttelton; Loch Boon, from Auckland. LONDON, February 2. The Irish Obstructionists. The House of Commons has been sitting for the last twenty-four hours on the Irish Coercion Bill. There have been continuous motions for adjournment by Irish members, but all have been nega-
lived. Scandalous scones have occurred, and violent language has been nsed by the obstructors. The Speaker has fraquently warned them that their action was verging on wilful obstruction, which could be punished by the House. Mr. John Bright made a speech, in the course of which he characterised the conduct of the Irish members as a gross insult to the House and the Government, and stated that the latter would shortly apply a remedy for such obstruction as was being pursued. The debate still proceeds.
