THE IRISH LAND BILL.  Housz or COMMONS, Friday Night. The struggle with the Irish members did not last long after the Premier had put his foot down. Stung to retaliation by the protracted and unblushing obstruction of Messrs. Biggar, Healy, and Ltmmy, M. Gladstone rebuked those gentlemen in the early hours on Friday morning, in a speech of such vigorously denunciation that ic literally carried the assembly away. Mr. GI uiston's case was cart sinly a good one, Mr. A. M. Sullivan had openly and vigorously reprobatid the coarse pursued by Messrs. Rosily, Biggar, and Loamy. Mr. Parnell had make-1 his sense of the impropri ty ot these gentlemen's tactics by taking little or no part in the proceedings. Even Mr. Callan withdrew his amendment, almost as soon as he had moved them. The Irish tknches were reduced to some ha f-dozen noisy, professional irreconcilable, and the <eh de demonstration against th 3 emigration clause was one of open and studied ol struction, despite a whole series of importsnt G"vernment concessione. Mr. Gladstone was in ara .e. Re literally hurled thunderbolts of condemnation into the midst of the little hand of obstruc'ives, amid thunderb dts of cheering from Conservatives as well as Ministerialists. The Government had mad a-r-inrements to bit all night in order to carry the claws. Mr. Gladstone spew'', however, rendered the unn, cc roars. It literally cow 4 and demoralised the little fact on, and the clause was carried at daybreak. So good effect did this have, that in the efrernoon or Friday, when the Bill NS as resumed (the ETIVIVIi ion Clause having baen carried in early morning, by 128 t 23) ton clan es had been disclose' before the evening sitting. When the Rouse rose at a quarter-past one cn Saturday morning the 42 Id Clause had been passed.  In West Middlesex. West S Irrey, East Berke, and S Bulks,. most of the hay crops have been harvested in spienaid condition. Midhat Pasha, it is asserted in Turkish "official circles" confessed, in apre sling for pardon to the S •it-an. that he had been accessory to the murder of Ablul Azis. Very natural dissatisfaction is felt by surgeons to prison 4 at a resolution passcd by the Prison Conference, and strongly urged on the Home Secretary, to the effect " hat all post mortem examinations in prisons be male by an Independent medical man." If the surgeon of a prison is fit to b 3 trusted to treat a case during life he must be fit to be trusted to give a proper account of it after death. The solicitude of m igistrates and others responsible for the proper care of prisoners in sickness should expend Itself in making the best appointm •nt possible, but then:aft-I, they should confide in the officer selected, either for the treatment of a case or the report of a past modem. In cases of difficulty, or where suspicious circumstances have arisen, no doubt the prison surgeon would weloomi the co-operation of an independent medical practitioa —Lancet. _ _  THE LATE SIR GILBERT Scorr.—Qn Tuesday an elabsratelv-worked m morial br tee was depos,ted in the nave of Westminster Abbey, over the gave of the late Sir Gilbert Meat, the eminent architect, and was uncovered the n xt day by the Yen.

The memorial, which ifs immcdiately in frmt of the pulpit, and close adjoining the grave of the late Sir Charles Berry, arehitect to the 11 inses of Parliament, takes the f3rm of a massive to übstone, in black marble.

Nearly the whole of the surface is covered with carved figures, devices, and inscriptions in braes, the whole having bsen designed by Mr. G. G. Street, the architect of the New Law Courts, and formerly architectural pupil of the deceased. The extreme outside of the surface of the slab has an ornamentally-carved borde-, enclosing an inner nobly-carved border in brasswork, ext ending almost the entire length of the surface. Within each side of this inner border is t'm following inscription in Latin characters :—" Ge n•ge Gilbert Scott, eglially respected as a man and an architect. Died the 27th day of March. 1878, aged N." The out of the memorial exceeds
