London, July 1. Irish Repression Sill Passed—

Home Rulers Suspended.

The Irish Repression Bill has been again under consideration in Committee, of the whole House of Commons, and after a very lengthened debate, and despite great opposition, all the clauses have been passed. The bill came up for consideration soon after the meeting of the House yesterday, and discussion continued during the whole of last night and until a late hour to-day, the sitting lasting in all for 32 hours. Great opposition was shown to the passage of the bill by Parnell and the Home Rulers, and their action was of such an obstructive and disorderly character that Parnell and 15 of his supporters were suspended for the remainder of the sitting. The obstruction, nevertheless, continued, and finally six more Home Rulers were suspended for disorderly conduct. The debate then proceeded more quietly, and, as previously stated, all the clauses were passed at length through Committee.
