tBy Anglo-American cable 10 tho Dispatchl
LONDON, July 20--The local government
bill is now settled and out OF committee.
For the first time England has local repres
sentative institutions worthy Of the name.
The bill undoubtedly has defects. One of'the
most serious il the nomination OF certain
proportion OF councillors without election IN
the case OF London. However, this will be
limited to one sixth OF the entire number.
The Metropolitan Board of Works ceases to
exist, and the power OF the corporation OF
the city OF London consisting only OF an Lo-
lated part Of the metropolis, about mile
square. Will be greatly curtailed, and no
doubt will eventually DO absorbed with
London, which henceforth will be county
iu itself. 10 was evident throughout the
discussions that the bill was more popular
with the opposition than the Government,
and the attendance OF Liberal members was
much more numerous than that OF the
Tories, although on critical occasions they
were voted down by their opponents, most
OF whom did not take the trouble to hear the
merits OF the question, nut trooped In at the
sound OF division. Gladstone has been
most asslduous in attending the dncussions.

LONDON, july 20. LIN the Commons to-day
Lord Churchill asked the Speakers permis-
sion 70 question Conny bearc a. TO whether be
was the author OF the letter appearing Ia the
Star denounciug the conduct OF the Speaker
IN supporting the Tory motion for closure OF
debate on the second reading OF the Bann
drainage bill. The letter referred to accused
the Speaker Of gross injustice to the minority
and Of breach OF parliamentary decorum
nothing short OF public scandal In assisting
the Government to suppress debate on the
measure. which handed to Irish landlords
half million Of English money.
Mr.. Connybeare admitted that be was the
author OF the letter.
Lord Churchill thereupon moved a sus.
pension OF Mr.. Counybeare from the House
during the remsinder OF the session. The
letter, he said, was gross libel on tho
Speaker and grave and deliberate Insult
70 the House.
The Speaker said the adoption OF the
closure was an act Of the House. In deal
Ing with the matter he held an absolutely
neutral position, and he left the affair to the
judgment OF the House. [Checrsl.
Mr.. Gladstone deprecated the invective as
wholly out OF place in this discussion. The
letter was distinctly breach Oh privilege,
and he would therefore support Lord
Churchilrs motion.
Mr.. Labouchere moved 10 substitute In
the motion The words I" breach OF privilege"
for the words " gross libeL"
Mr.. Sexton said that no act seemed to be
breach OF privilege when committed against
an Irish member. AS the irish members
could obtain no redress for sanders uttered
in or written outside OF the House, the best
course they could ADOPT was 10 leave the
English members oi Parliament TO settle the
dispute between themselves.
Mr.. Sexton's remarks were greeted with
laughter and derisive cheers, during which
Sexton left the House.
Mr. Smith held that the letter was direct
libel upon the Speaker and that the adoption
Of Churchilrs motion wus necessary In order
to maintain decorum In Parliament.
The motion was adopted by vote OF 2io
to 1863. An amendment was afterwards
adopted supending Mr.. Connybeare for one
month.
