May I.—The debiire in the Hou®e of Commous last n»ght, onGl >dstone's resi»lution fnr the aboiition of the irish Church, was coniinued to n late hour. Sorne prormnent me«nbers spoke. Giadstone closed thc deb:«te on the Liberal side *vith a povverfui S(ieech ag;iinst ihe eoniinuanee of the Irish Charch. He alan defend<?d hin»selffrom the jK-rsona{ attacks mnde upon liiin for his course, deaying that he had anv pnrt or lot in the proj'octs of eifher the Kitimli?ts or the Koman Cathohcs. Disr;«eli follo\ved in n bitter speech, ealliog the scheme one of confiscUion and vio* lenee, to \vhicti the peojile of Engh\nd would never conse«»t. A division then took pluee on the first resolution, whieh was adopted by 65 majortty. Ditr«eli said the Ministry needed tune to cotisider what course they woukl take, and tbe House adjourned to Mondny. The Cabint,'t crisis monopohzes pviblic attention. it is thought that if the measures, whieh t>re in effect approved by poth parties. are not opposed by Liberals, the present Cab»net will not resiga or dissolve Parhament. Lonoon, May 2.—The journals all eoinmeni on ihe vote of Gladstone's resolution. The Timcs says no one eau deoy the imm?nse sigmiicaijce el the event. Since the motiou to g<> into committee the Tories have gained three seuts iu the iiousoofCommons, yet sixty majority has grown to sixtysix. Lonuon, May 3.—lt is said, to-day, that Disrueli tendercd his resignatiou yesterday. but it w»«s not accepttd. Lonoon, May 4.—Midoigiit.—There was a very ftill hotise at the opening $ession of the House of Commons to-night. After some unmiportant business Disraeli arose and was greeted with cheers from the Ministerial benches. He revicwed the course of the Tory r.dministration whieh nt its outset was without a majorityofsupporters in the House; and spolie of its uniform success. On Thus day last, on the vote upon the first of a series of resolutions, the Ministry encountered a new question, whieh threatened confusion to lrelaud »nd ultimately the overthrow of the English Church, the etlect of whieh wou!d be the absorption of all the Church of Kome. To this measurehe could not assent, and had asked the House for time to advise with the Queen on the new attitude of affiirs. Her Mnjesty had heard his statement, and not ouly declined his resignation, but urged him not to dissolve Parliament at present—an ananu»lous circ»mstance, until an appeal could be made to the new coustituents. Mr. Gtadstone said the Preinier's praise of the tories was not only iu bad taste, but unru, especially that portion respecting the finances. He laughed ai the cry of daoger of the estabished church and at that of the Church of Rome, also of other sects. it was unpresedented thnt the ministry whieh had been beaten by 65 majority, sbould talk o( dissolving Parliament. lt might be right to elect a new Parliament to settle the question of the Irish Church, but the first duty when chosen would be to settle the Ministry itself. Its prcvious course wns unconstitutional. John Bright said ihe Premier*s statoment \vould nmaze the country. He asked tbe House to examiue the usage and ihe Constitution that he might keep office by arts not the most worthy, and hold īt by adopting dogmas whieh he had bitterly denOunced Mr. Bright showed the inconsistency of the Tories. There were various differences of opinion nmong the members of tbe Cabinet. He said an adverse suit was no disgrace to the Ministry, but to ho{d hoffice ofter such a vote, was. There was no reason wby the const!tutional pr«tctice be dispensed with in favor of Disraeli. who knew weli enough that no Irish or Scotch Befonn bill, not of a nature to suit the lrish or Scotch Liber»ls, coold poss the House Disraeli fixed the 7th of May for the debate on the Irish question, Starling iotelligence has just been ce»ved from Australia. ftince Alfred, who is visitiog Sydoey, was shotand dang?rousiy wouuded by an unknown person.
