The debate in the House of Commons on the second reading of the Irish Home Rule Bill, proposed by the Gladstone Government, was continued and concluded on Monday night. Mr Gladstone appealed to the House to vote the principle of the bill, which he declared would make the union closer. Upon a division being taken, the bill was rejected by 341 to 311. There appear to have been only 14 members absent during the division, the full House numbering 666. Our cablegram states that "upon the result being known a scene of great excitement ensued." Ninety-four Liberals, of whom there are 332 in the House, voted against the Government. The House adjourned until Thursday next.

The Port Darwin overland telegraph line, which was yesterday unfortunately interrupted between Farind and Strangeways Springs at the very time that all Australians and New Zealanders were anxiously awaiting the result of the division in the House of Commons on the Home Rule Bill, was speedily repaired and through communication restored last night.

Another old colonist has gone to join the great majority. Mr Heinrich Bohmann, a shoemaker by trade, a native of Germany, who for some twelve months past has been suffering from disease of the aorta, passed out of time at half-past three o'clock this morning, at the age of of 64. He was a quiet, steady, unassuming married man, and greatly respected by all who knew him. His remains will be interred in the Kumara Cemetery on Friday next, at two o'clock in the afternoon.

A miner named George Stephenson, who had been an inmate of the Reefton Hospital for a considerable time past, suffering from inflammation of the lungs, died on Saturday morning last. The Inangahua Times states that the deceased was employed for some time by the Specimen Hill Company, and was well known in the Boatman's district. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, and was numerously attended. As we surmised some time ago the Melbourne Argus now reports that among the steerage passengers lost in the Ly-ee-moon were a number of New Zealanders who arrived by the Te Anan to proceed to Kimberley.

Commander Edwin wired to-day at 10.54 a.m.—" Bad weather may be expected between west and south and south-east; glass further rise, and very cold weather."

The Christchurch coach arrived this afternoon shortly after the usual hour. The Wellington correspondent of the Christchurch Press writes on June Ist : "I hear that the Government have virtually given a pledge to the Auckland members that they will not advise his Excellency to dissolve Parliament until a new Representation Act shall have been passed ; and further, that it is practically decided if the Ministry retains office over this session, another session will positively be held next year before the dissolution and general election takes place." Both the Russian and Japanese warships took in very large supplies of fresh meat at Wellington—more than twiec the amount an English ship is accustomed to take.
