LONDON, July 15th.
The Home Rule Bill will be got through the House of Commons on or about August 21st. Under ordinary circumstances a fortnight more would wind up the business of the session. The game of the Ualonists is, however, to protract the session, despite beat and exhaustion, for weeks after the House of Lords shall have rejected the Bill. They intend to accomplish their purpose by means of endless meetings and divisions on the financial votes. They hope thus to reduce the Government majority to the minimum and eventually to drive the Ministry to a premature dissolution by their prolonged brawling and bullying. The mailay of the Parnellites under Mr. John Redmond against the financial proposals will probably be subdued. The means, as usual, will be concessions from the Government.
