A Disastrous Outlook for British Crops.
AONDoN, July IO-JOnn Joseph Mecnl; the
scientific agriculturist writes as follows;
Another week of flooding storms and low
temperature has put the finishing stroke to
agricultural disaster. 1t is now too late for
the crops to recover; they are considerably in
jured, even ON well farmed and drained lands,
while on ill-farmed and underlined lands the
matter is simply ruinous Wheat will suffer
less than spring crops Wedding is hopeless,
and unless we get the promised hot, dry
weather, many grass and clover crops, and
even pears, will rot ungathered.'
A Scene in the House of Commons
A scene occurred tonight in the House of
Commons. When the House went into COM
mittee of the whole ON the army discipline bill,
Sullivan, member for Leith, called attention
to person in the strangers gallery taking
notes of the remarks of individual members,
and asked by whose authority the person was
there. 1t is rumor9d that the person was in
the gallery with view to repressive measures
against the Irish obstructives. The chairman
of the committee replied that the person was
there on authority. He explained that owing
to the delay of the army bill, minutes of the
proceedings of membefs should be more am
pie, but that notes taken should be wholly i'm
partial. The person having left the House
again returned, when stormy discussion en-
sued and the person finally withdrew.
