 THERE was a large attendance in the house of lords for the second reading of the land bill. All the leaders were present ex- cept Earl Granville, who is indisposed. Carlingford. Liberal, moved the second read ing of the bill in a long speech. The mar quis of Lansdowne (Liberal) said he regard ed the bill as an attempt to quell agrarian aggression by the indiscriminate concession of proprietorial rights. Lord Inchiquin (CoHservative) strongly condemned the bill. The marquis of Waterford (Conservative) said the bill was one of confsca.ion with out compensation The whole history of the bill, he said, showed it was really an answer to the land. league agitation He hoped the house will very considerably amend the bill in committee Lord Lytton said the bill was a revolutionary concession to threats of rebellion, and a step onward in the cause that must end either in the dissolution of the connection between England and Ireland or civil war The lord president of the council having defended the bill the duke of Argyle moved an ad- iournment of the debate. Adjourned.
 IN the house of commons Lord Randolph Churchill in an extravagant speech to-day moved his resolution on the third reading of the land bill; that the bill, being the re. suit of revolutionary agitation, encourages the repudiation of contracts, is opposed to individual liberty, is calculated to diminish security of property and prosperity in Ire land, and to endanger her union with Great Britain. Gladstone followed, ridiculng Lord Churchill and powerfully justitying the bill. He said it would be unbecoming in him to eulogize the measure, but the at tacks against it were such as did not make necessary it's defence. Gibson (Conserva- tive) replied to Gladstone, and after William Shaw (Home- Ruler) had passed high tribute to Gladstone, a desultory discus sion was continued by L-rd Elcho. Warton and other extremists, amidst evident inn patience of the house, and the only effect being to prevent the third reading of the bill at the morning session. The house finally suspended it's sitting until 0 tonight and the sitting of the lords was suspended until II, in the hope of taking the first read ing of the bill to night. When the house reassenlbled the bill was read third time and passed, 220 to IA, the minority being exclusively composed of Conservatives, as follows Bartlett, earl of Bective Gorst, Dixon, Hartland, Henry Holland. John Hubbard, Onslow, Viscount Folk estone, David Scott Schreiber, James A. Campbell, Henry Tyler, Warton and Whitney.
