Loxpox, Aug. 2—Some remarkable scencs have taken place in Westminster Palace curing the past week, Tho English House of Com- mons is an eninently respectable body, and, as eminently respectuble bodies are apt to be, 1s likewise eminently dull. This compliment, it should be observed, applica only to the House when in ite normal condition, The ordinary processce of legislation are marked by that wd- milrable deliberation—which other nations char- acterize by the more yulear term of slowness— by that inattention to the wants of the many which fs ono of the attributes of the few, by that general vaculty of speech which shows how close: ly woven Into the tlesues of the Engiteh political brala fs the great prine!ple of clreumiocution.

To this vaturat inquiry [tb may be responded brictly that the whole disturbance has arisen from the actlon of seven members of the House, who have united forthe expressed purpose of obstructing the regular course of legislation, Mow they mau- azed to thus delay debates, to keep the House of Commons in a contioual uproar for TWENTY COXSECUTIVE HOURS, anid ta create u Vast scusation throughout the United Kingdom, may be best explained by a narration of cveuts loading to and culininatlug du the long session.

Still the seven Irishmen Ftood their ground, and every one who knows how lax are the rules for the goveruinent of debate In the House can see what a degree of bother these tew nen could occasion, — The bill under discussion at the tide was known as THE SOUTI-AVINUAN WILL, and {ts purport was tu effect a confederation of the colonies in South Africa, Tt contained twenty or morc clauses, and oneach one of these Mr. Blugar or hls: colleagues would raise a dis- cussion by olfering amendments of every cun- ceivable kind, and exercising all the other well- known devices for pustponing action, such as movin that the Chairman leave the chnir, that the House be counted to sce if a quorum were present, that a division be taken, ete., each one of which consumed a large amount of time. On several occasions membirs Jost their patience, aud wordy passaxes ensuci, os stare as any fhe counters that lave ever taken place fu Cougress. SU STAFFORD NORTHCOTE, who, as Chancellor of the Exeheytter, has to sustain the dignity of the Goverument in the House, was many times sorely tried to restrain his indignation’ af these proceedings, which were not gentiemanly, Uf not, strictly speaking, unparhumentary. Monday he brought tn two new rules for the guidance of the House,—one. that no member abould’ speak more than twice op a single subject, and the other that a mem- ber, having been cutled to order twice by the er, could be suspended from further par- ticipation {n the debate. It was hoped that theee rules woukl squelch the obstractioniste. For a time things went alonz smoothly enough; then suddenly came on .the erlels which pro- longed a single sitting of the House from Tres- day afternoon untll Wednesday evening, lasting through the intervening night. IT DEOAN IN THIS Wrsits Assoonasthe South Africa bill was resumed in Cominittee of the Whole, Mr. O'Douuell at once moved te report progress. On this a desultory talk ensited, which speedily ended in a“ scene.” Mr. Parnell begun addresslug the House at great length on rome nonsensical questions of international law, not baving the faintest bearing upon. the subject, and was called to order, Mr. Purnell replying brought up Sir William Harcoart, Whu, aiid. low cheering, denounced the .conduct of Pur- nell and friends ax deliberate obstruction, and called upon the Government to stand by the Houeo of Commons to resist this obstruction, which was becomming insupportable. This {uel dent was the precursor of a scrivs of outbursts, which lasted throughout the night, At avout 3 o'clock Mr. Parnell, haying already spoken no Teas than fifteen times, was attempting to again adress the Chair when the entire House broke forth in tumultuous cries for adivision. Then occurred one of the most turbulent scones ever witnessed fa. public leglstative boas, Mem- ders shouted themselves hoor: he Chalrinan endeavored vainly to secure order; the tecal- eltrant Parnell, forsaking his seat, ruched down upon the floor of the House, and’ declared that he would steal if he had to stamt there until morning, It was half an hour before anything Mke order was restored, Mr. Parnell had bis however, It Isn't necessary tu folluw out extraordinary incidents of the evening very ey ys as thoy were much alike, differiuy only THE EPITHETS that were freely banticd about, At 2 o'clock Iu the morning the Government leader openly declared that the majority of the House coukl not consent to be beaten by the ential! party of obstructionlats, andl wera prepared to stay all night. Accordingly, days were ap- pointed, certain members going off to bed in order to snatch a few hours of sleep and thenta relleve those who had beenon duty, The seven Irishinen, folluwing the examale, divided up also.

Members who had slept oud break: fasted began to appear ageln on the scene, At noon the chaplain, according to hiy rule, entered to say prayers; but to his surprise found that his inintetration of the preceding day suilved. Finally, at ten minutes past 3 u'clock, the bill was passed and ordered to be reported, ‘Towards the close of the alttiug Lord Beaconsield cutered the Peers’ callery,— the Hirst time he had visited the House since bis elevation to the Pecraze,—and, with eyeglass iu bis ese, surveyed with evident amazement the scene passing below.
