BRITISH AND FOREIGN.

[Reuter’s Agency, j

The Political Sear-garden.

London, Feb. 2

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 b}' the Irish members, but all have been negatived. Scandalous scenes have occurred, and violent language lias been used by the obstructors. Tile Speaker has frequently warned them that their action was verging on wilful obstruction, which could bo 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. At 10 a.m., owing to. the scandalous scenes which continued to occur in the House, the Speaker put» stop to the debate. A great disturbance thereupon ensued, and did not cease until the Irish members left the House in a body. There being still a quorum present, the Coercion Bill was then read a first time, and the second reading will take place at noon to-day.
