[renter's TELEGRAMS.] LONDON, August 16. The Irish Land Bill. Tho debate on tho Irish Laud Bill, as received a second time from the House of Lords, which was opened last evening in the House of Commons on tho motion of Mr Gladstone that the report on tho Lords’ amendments bo further considered, was continued to an early honr this morning. In tho course of tho sitting several of the clauses as amended wore rejected, and wore restored to their original form, while in the case of others the changes made in the Upper House were modified, and in a few instances the alterations were assented to. The Irish members again violently objected to the action of the Government in agreeing to any of the amendments of the House of Lords, and accused Ministers of being parties to a secret compromise with the Opposition in regard to the Bill.
