A peaceful solution has been most happily found for the difficulty threatening, until a very early hour this morning, the smooth working of the grand and complex machinery of our Constitution. The majo rity attained by her MAJESTY'S Ministers in the House of Lords, we will confess at once, was beyond cur hopes and expectations. According to the cal culation made, by way forecast, prior to the actual division taking place, a clear majority of twelve was looked for. Instead of that, it has proved to be only three short of exactly three times that number. Against 146 votes mustered by the section of the Opposition supporting Lord limutowsa - 's Amendment, the Government brought to bear as many as 179 in favour of the Second Reading of the Irish Church Bill. The clear, or net majority by which the Cabinet carried their great measure through that additional stage of its progress towards its now certain and rapid develop ment from a Bill into an Act of Parliament was, therefore, thirty-three in a House of 323. The vic tory was won at three o'clock this morning. It was welcomed with hearty cheering among the supporters of her MAJESTY'S Government. It WAS a triumph fairly won in open fight, and not without an extra ordinary display of skill and courage, of determina tion and perseverance on the part of the more resolute chiefs of the Opposition. It was achieved in ye y despite of the ill- consilered and ill- twoutered insult directed, in the very thick c f the conflict, against the House of Lords, in its high and responsi ble capacity as one of the great Estates of the Realm, by one of the last enroPed among the raw recruits of the Privy Council, a ra li and inexperienced admini strator, who, ever tine° his induction into the Cabi net, has been, every now and then, allowing the Mini ster of the Crown to disappear in the Agitator, Statesman in the Demagogue. As Lord Russym. last evening good humouredly reminded the Lords, they miOtt well despise " the irreguLtr shot of some THE doubt and anxiety caused in this country by the action of the United States' Senate with respect to the Alabama Treaty may now be definitely set aside. The American nation, not less decisively than the English, has pronounced in favour of peace. The rejection of the CLARENDON-JOHNSON Treaty and the bellicose manifestations which accompanied that step, naturally gave rise on both sides of the Atlantic to apprehensions of war ; and when those fears calmed down the mission of Mr. MOTLEY was made the subject of doubts scarcely less disastrous to the interests of the two countries. It was reported in some quarters that the bill of several hundred millions sterling drawn up by Mr. SUMNER would be presented in full for the signature of the British Government. By others it was confidently predicted that Mr. MOTLEY would refuse all negotiation, and that the Americans would await the contingency of war between England and some other State in order to purposely inflict upon our commerce tenfold the injury which we accidentally inflicted upon theirs. All such conjectures, however, have proved equally wide of the mark. It is with much pleasure that we announce the full confirmation of the epitome of Mr. MOTLEY'S instruction which we received by cable two or three days ago. The new American Ambassador will be more will Cla,iulltionuosttphran Mr. REVE RDY J OHNSON , but he will empoweredfe prefer o a a n c y t not less take less lel reopening negotiations; but this course has been adopted, not that America may at some time be able to cripple Brit'sla commerce by fitting out privateers in case we are involved in war, but in order that by the lapse of a little time the hostile feeling lately aroused may have full opportunity to dissipate. The American Government doubtless feels that the rejection of the CLARENDON-JOHNS ON Treaty is yet too recent to warrant fresh overtures. Should, however, the question be again brought up Mr. MOTLEY will not negotiate on the basis laid down by Mr. SUMNER. The recognition of the South's belligerency was the great offence for which the war like senator claimed recompense ; but the demands based on that action have been found wholly unten able, and the American Government accordingly aban dons them. It seems that Mr. MOTLEY, though - THE SUL LONDON; SATURDAY EVENIN9, JUNE 19, 1E69. awkward Volunteer who has fired off his piece with out orders from his commanding officer." Speaking . thus, in his character as an ex-Premier, and who as sudh sympathized very naturally with his now successor in that supreme Ministerial office, the noble earl at once by that one casual gibe at Mr. BRIGIIVS indiscretion, reduced to his proper level that insubordinate col league of Mr. GLADSTONE and his associates iu the Ministry, one who has more than once of late proved himself to be the enfant terrible of their Adminis tration. The mistake, all through, appears to be this, that .the President of the Board of Trade fancies himself and not Mr. GLADSTONE to be really and truly the First Lord of the Treasury. Acting under this hallucination, he talks and writes as though he were himself invested with a sort of autocratic irre sponsibility. Fleeriog and jeering at the Lords, he, by this last escapade of his, ran the Ministerial Bill the imminent risk of being rejected impetuously, on the motion for the Second Reading of it, if only as a protest on the part of the Peers against the imper tinence of anything like dictation. The Lords have, by their cdm and dispassionate decision—a decision arrived at after a protracted debate, in which they have more than sustained their reputation for argu mentative eloquence, for logical acumen, for brilliant wit, and for all the manifold and varied graces of cultivated oratory—by the calm and dispassionate de cision they have arrived at, after that late-noble, and in one or two instances, memorable debate, the Lords have very signally demonstrated, in the face of the whole country, the po3session by them of that very gift of wisdom which was so insolently denied to them by one of the foremost members of her MA JESTY'S Government. It now remains to be seen how far the Government in its turn will respond to this manly decision of the. House of Lords, by which the Irish Church Bill has, by a majority of thirty-three, beencarried through a Second Reading—how far, we say, the Ministry will respond to this, by allowing this or that Amendment to stand good, after hav ing been decided upon by the Lords in Committee. Lord SALISBURY'S sarcasm, one of his most telling sarcasms, on Thursday evening, referred to the late Premier as one who was not altogether an tagonistic to amendments I As a matter of course the allusion thus made excited, upon the instant of its utterance, the hilarity of the House of Peers, the noble lords remembering perfectly well the fact that . only as recently as a year ago amendments made fur Mr. DISRAELI the very graund he trod upon—that, otherwise to express it, his path to power and to success w.,s, so to speak, tesselated with amendments. In regard to the fact that it was so, it is all very natural for the :Marquis of SALISBURY to be ironical, and for the House of Lords to be moved to laughter ; but there is surely no reason why Mr. DISRAELI'S immediate :successor in the Pre. miership should immediately rush to the very opposite extreme and, because of his security in power and of the splendour of his success, set his face like flint, obdurately and inexorably, against any thing at all in the shape of amendments. THE debate which followed the BRIGHT letter episode in the House of Lords was not up to the mark of the preceding nights. It is no discredit to an invalid of more than threescore years and ten that he should no longer possess the brilliancy and the fire of ten or fifteen years ago, and no one can be surprised that Lord flimsy, who, fifteen months ago, was compelled to resign the Premiership through ill-health, should scarcely have been equal to the occasion on Thursday. But in one respect it was a speech of the old style. The denuncia tion of Mr. GLADSTONE as " the most imperious, absclute, and erratic Minister that ever swayed the destinies of this country" revealed the fact—which, indeed, everyone knew—that Lord DERBY is a good hater. His assertion that this same Minister was " overbearing the conscience of the QUEEN," and that the House of Lords was called upon to relieve her from the deplorable dlemma of being compelled to violate her oath, or to assume a position which it would be impossible for her to maintain," was quite in accordance with the many terribly rash and unconstitutional statements whereof the old leader of the " Constitutional " party has been guilty in times past. The appeal to prejudice which he used, by declaring that the Irish Church Bill was the work of Mr. MIALL, was only a repetition of a similar argument used three years ago, when the prejudices of the Conservative party were kindled to fanaticism by the assertion that the RUSSELL-GLADSTONE Reform Bill was the work of Mr. BRIGHT. Fortunately for the Conser vative party, they remember what followed that appeal to their personal antipathies, and the most distinguished of them decline to be made a second time utensils for dishing the Whigs. The statesmanlike speeches of the Marquis of SALISB URY an d E ar l S TANHOPE f orc ibl y expresse d the opinionofth p e arty, more clear-sighted recommended members of the Conservative to them by their old chief is the most dangerous and most unconstitutional which could possibly be suggested. Their own position is eminently logical. They do not like the bill ; but they believe that its main principles have been adopted by the country, and that they have no right to set their individual opinions against the national will. At the same time they do not consider that the country has endorsed the details of the bill, and they hold that they are free to modify these. It is for this reason that nearly all the most distinguished Con servative peers recorded their votes with the ayes, and thus did their best to avoid a conflict with the nation which they would be wholly unable to sustain. founding no claim on the QUEEN'S Proclamation, will represent it at an unfriendly act, and as forming, in connection with other such unfriendly proceedings, a claim for compen sation. But as a demand of this kind is much too vague to come within the scope of inter national law, and as it would be impossible to estimate the amount of the danrges justified by such a cause, this part of the American Ambassador's instructions can be regarded only as a diplomatic mode of shelving the belligerency point altogether. As our liability for the QUEEN'S proclama tion was precisely the question which the British Government throughout refused to consider, the Alabama difficulty comes to an end. The question will rest awhile; but when negotiation is resumed, there will be nothing to prevent an immediate settlement. The American people have thus successfully resisted all attempts to involve them in war. Mr. SUMNER'S threatening speech, Mr. CHANDLER'S tempting suggestion to take Canada in payment of the Alabama claims, have alike failed to command consideration. Tiae still more dangerous proposal made by the Republicanleaders, to open the electoral cam paign with a warlike programme against England, has proved equally abortive. This proposition, as wicked as it was unwise, seems to have been prompted by alarm at the progress made by free - trade doctrines. The Protectionists perceive that the tariff is rapidly becoming the question of the clay, and they would willingly.create a diversion, even at the risk of involving their country in war. But the politics of a great State are not to be manipulated in this way. Great questions arise out of the necessities and interests of nations, they are not made at the bidding of individuals. The Republicans have seen that their war platform would meet with no favour, and they have prudently re treated. The Americans, in fact, have other objects in view. They desire peace, the development of trade, and, above all, the reduction of their debt. The most popular statesman in America at thipresent moment is, perhaps, Mr. BOUTWELL, and he is popular simply because, mainly by a fortunate increase of the revenue, he has been able to effect an exceptionally largereduc tion of debt. The desire of the people of the United States to wipe out their debt altogether is one of the peculiar points of their policy which we must respect if we do not imitate it. It deserves respect all the more because it is a policy which is utterly inconsistent with a desire for war. ki . ain't - 04,10. • fIER MAJESTY. WINDSOR CASTLE, June 18.

The Marquis of Hartington presided, and there were present Mr. John Bright, Sir George Grey, Mr. Villiers, Mr. Brand, Mr. Leatham, Mr. Ward Hunt, Mr. Gathorne Hardy, Sir M. H. Beach, Sir F. Heygate, Mr. Stanley Hill, the O'Connor Don, Mr. Dalglisb, Mr. H. Young, Mr. Cross, Mr. Whitbred. Mr. Dutton, for several years Minister of Public Works for South Australia, and head of two Administrations, gave some interesting evidence as to the mode of conducting elections in that colony. He said he was a member of the Legislature until 1865, when he came to England. Various electoral acts bad been passed with his assistance, and the whole electoral system had fallen continuously under his notice. He had stood contested elec tions under the system of open voting ss well as under the operation of the ballot. The adoption of the ballot had greatly conduced to the purity of election and quiet, orderly conduct. There were a good many people opposed to the ballot, and it met with much opposition in the Legislature when the topic was first introduced, but the present feeling was unanimously in favour of it. The sys tem adopted in South Australia was this: On the day of election the voter went to the voting place of his district, and there stated to the returning officer (who was appointed by the Government) his name and occupation. Thereupon tho returning officer placed a mark against the voter's name on the electoral list, and banded to him a voting paper, bearing the name of each candidate, with a blank Equaro opposite to each name The voter then retired to a booth, and there in private indicated the candidate for which he wished to vote by making a cross in the square against his name. H e th en delivered the paper to the returning-officer, who, without opening it, deposited it in a box provided for the purpose. No paper so deposited could be taken from the box unless in the presence of a scrutineer until the close of the election. It was provided by the Electoral Act Bill that no voting paper should be received unless it was folded in such a way as to render it impossible that no ono could see for which candi date the vote was given. Mr. Irving, late mayor of Carlisle, was examined by Mr. Leatham as to tho infitionce brought to bear on certain voters in tho emp'oy of tho London and North- Western Railway Company, by the chairman, Mr. Hudson. at the last election at G,rlisle.

The United Trades' Association of Dublin having requested Cardinal Cullen to receive a deputation " for the purpose of submitting a statement on the importation of ecclesiastical work," Lis Eminence has declined, replying that. it "is not within his power to prevent any class of hi fellow-citizens from availing themselves of the privilege of free trade established by law in this kingdom." He "is aware that there is no class in the country more anxious than the Catholic clergy to favour home trade, but he thinks it would not be right to subject them to special restriction;or tc bind them by & 3egiol4llo PQLCOutI4_4. MADA2tE RACHEL'S CASE AGAIN. Madame Rachel's case was again before the Court of Queen's Bench on Friday. Mr. Justice Hannen and a jury took the case of " Levison v. Stack." It was an action brought by the eldest daughter of Madame Rachel against the defendant Thomas Austin Stack, boot and shoe manu facturer, of Church-street, Edgware-road, to recover back £lOO paid to him for being bail for plaintiff's mother. It will be remembered that some time back the goods which were supposed to belong to Madame Rachel were sold off at the house, 50, Maddox-street. From the opening statement of the learned counsel for the plaintiff, Mr. Henry James, Q.C., it would appear that the goods so sold were the goods of the daughter, and not of the mother, as generally supposed. At this sale the defendant acted as clerk, took the money, and introduced Messrs. Whitehead as the auctioneers ; and out of the money received at the sale was paid £lOO for being bail to the plaintiff's mother. A day or so after the payment of the £lOO, defendant hada conversation with the attorney for the plaintiff's mother, a Mr. Norman, of Sack ville-street, Piccadilly, at a cafe near the Haymarket, He told the defendant that Madame Rachel had settled with that omnibus company of Paris, an action against whom she bad brought for injuries sustained by her through the company's negligence. Of course, Mr. Stack, acting upon this very dark hint, immediately surmised that it was the intention of Madame Rachel to make a "bolt of it," and lie there and then had her conveyed to the Judges' Chambers for the purpose of withdrawing from being her bail. It transpired that Mr. Stack was only acting upon the suspicious intelligence conveyed to him by Mr. Norman, who at this time was in Madame Rachel's confidence, and, in fact, her legal adviser. Upon an affidavit being sworn to on this conversation at the cafe' by the defendant, Madame Rachel was remitted back to prison. On this state of facts the plaintiff said that the defendant had not fulfilled his contract, binding himself to be Madame Rachel's bail till the writ of error was heard. The plaintiff was represented by Mr. Henry James, Q.C., and Mr. Murphy (instructed by Mr. Lewis Heri tage) ; and the defendant by Mr. Serjeant Ballantine and Dr. Keneally (instructed by Mr. Norman). The case had not concluded at the rising of the court. TEE GUNPOWDER EXPLOSION AT lIOUNSLOW: The inquest on the bodies of the four persons killed by the gunpowder explosion at Hounslow was opened on Friday. The most remarkable fact connected with the catastrophe is that it should have originated in the " glazing-house." In all the stories of previous explosions there is no case parallel to this. " Glazing "is thought to be the safest and easiest process connected with the manufacture—so safe and easy, in fact, that all that is necessary is to set the machines in motion, lock the door of the house, and leave the process to cora plete itself. The " corning-house," usually the origin of disaster, has in this instance escaped. Six mills, two of which were worked by water and four by steam, were situated at the other side of the pond from the glazing house. These mills are mere sheds, constructed with wood and canvas, the only object being that they should be waterproof. It is not necessary, nor is it usual, that the men should remain on the premises while the powder is being made. The machinery having been set to work, they retire to another building at some distance. In addition to the sheds which have been destroyed, there was a large boom - proof house adjacent, in which twenty barrels of powder were stored. The cause of the explo sion has not been discovered, and probably will never be known. As usual, it is generally attributed to "fric tion," though the friction occurring in the glazing process must be quite insignificant. The flash must have tra versed the surface of the pond, and ignited the powder in in the mills and bomb-proof house. Two shocks, and two only, were felt in the neighbourhood, the second occur ring at an interval of about ten seconds after the first. The report was tremendous, and startled all the dwellers near the river, from Twickenham to Kew. The result of the concussion was the breaking of a good many windows in Hounslow ; but the damage done was upon the whole far less than might have been expected, and not at all so serious, it is said, as that caused by the explosion of 1858. Nor can it be in any measure compared with the frightful scene of devastation produced at Faversham in December 1867. In fact, one might approach tolerably near the place without seeing much evidence of ruin. Green branches have been torn off a good many of the trees around the pond already referred to ; some small trees have been broken or levelled ; the mills, shattered as they are, may be repaired without very much difficulty, but the place where the glazing-house stood is now a mere pit. The unfortunate persons who were killed were not inside the mills at the time, but were walking along the path in the performance of some duty connected with the works. Some identifying evidence was first taken by the coroner, John Page, who had charge of the glazing•house where the explosion occurred, was then called. Be said: I attended the glazing-house, and was there at half-past three o'clock on Thursday afternoon, and then went to the other house. There was no one in the house when I left it. Nobody could have gone in after I left, because I had the key with me. The explosion took place about twelve minutes to four. I caii't say if the explosion began in that house. I had just locked up the door of the second house, which is next to the glazing-house, and had got into my boat in the mill stream, when the explosion took place, and I was blown inb the water. The machinery was worked very slowly. There were twenty-four barrels in the house, twenty of which were loaded, containing about 801 b. of powder in each. These twenty were revolving or glazing in four " tubs." Everything was in good working order, as it always is. I have not the slightest idea as to what was the cause of the explosion.—A Juryman : Had you been smoking ? Witness : No, sir ; I never did such a thing.—The Foreman : I know, sir, that Mr. Curtis came one day and caught one of his men with a lighted pipe in his pocket. James Morris : I was on the outside of the japanner's snop when the explosion took place. The explosion began in the glazing-house on the opposite side of the mill-stream. After the first explosion, I and a man named Tooley covered ourselves under the side of the warehouse. I was never in the habit of going into the glazing-house. I had no access whatever to the house. lam not aware of any ill-feeling existing on the part of any man. I have had twenty nine years' experience, and I never knew an instance of a glazing-house being blown before. My opinion is that friction must have been the cause of the explosion.—A Juryman : Then you think that if any ill disposed person had ignited this powder, he would not have had time to get away ?—Witness : Such an idea of anyone doing such a thing never entered my head. There is no reason for ill-feeling towards Messrs. Curtis. The witness Page, being recalled, said, in answer to the coroner, that the glazing-house was always kept very clean, and that the corners and every part of it were cleaned about six weeks ago. Every bearing had grease in the grease-cups, and he oiled, in addition, every bearing of the machinery. He did not see any of the deceased men. _ _ Joseph Ladgrove deposed : I am foreman of the general work. I can't say whether there were any oiled rags or cotton waste in the glazing-house. It is not usual to allow anything to remain about. I cannot get into the glazing. house without Page's keys. William Joseph Browne said : I live in the Hanworth road, near the mills. lam the manager of the works. It is usual to have the glazing by itself. It is so simple that the presence of anyone is not necessary. So long as the grease-cups are kept properly supplied and the bearings well oiled, there is nothing more required. I cannot possibly give you any idea as to the cause of the explosion. I have the greatest confidence in the man in charge of the glazing-house at the time of the explosion. The weight of a barrel of gunpowder is 1001bs. We receive reports daily from the various departments on the mills, each and every one of which undergoes official examination. The Govern ment inspector comes down whenever he thinks proper, and the places are always open to his inspection. Colonel Younghusband and Captain Smith were down at the mills about a month ago. There are about 250 to 300 men and boys employed on the works. The inquiry was adjourned for a week. It was announced at a meeting of one of the corn mittees of the Manchester Corporation on Thursday that the Princess of Wales "will certainly accompany the Prince" on his visit to that city. It Las been also resolved to invite the Viceroy of Egypt to be present on the occasion. FROM HULL TO LONDON ON A BICYCLE.—Mr. F. hall, of Whitefriargate, Hull, has just performed a novel feat. On the 13th inst. he started from Hull with his bicycle, being conveyed to New Holland by the, steamer. He left New Holland pier exactly at twelve o'clock, and wended his solitary way to Lincoln, and, notwithstanding that the roads were hilly and newly laid with large stones, he reached that city on the evening of the same day. Mr. Hall set off again on Monday morning for Peterborough, which he reached in time for that evening's post. A night's rest was taken at Peterborough, and then the velocipedestrian was once more en route for the metropolis. Mr. Hall reached his destination, Clapham-common, on Tuesday evening, in time to post a letter by that nights's mail, informing his Hull friends of his safe arrival. The dis tance traversed is quite 175 miles, and 80 of the miles 'were run during an incessant storm of rain, which caused the " going" to be extremely bad. The feat was only performed for Mr. Hall's gratification, and not for any wager. The return journey was coylmenced on Wed• THE LICENSING SYSTEM. On Friday afternoon a deputation waited on the rgght Hon. H. A. Bruce, Secretary of State for the Home Department, for the purpose of bringing before her Majesty's Government the present disgraceful condition of the Haymarket, consequent on the manner in which the refreshment-houses in that locality are conducted, and to request that some law may be passed which will place refreshment-houses under the same controlling power, as far as the hours of business are concerned, as the public-houses. There was a large number of gentle• men in attendance, including Mr. W. H. Smith, M.P. , Captain Grosvenor, M.P., Lord George Hamilton, M.P. , and the rectors and ministers of the district more imme' diately concerned. A memorial on this subject having been presented, Mr. W. 11. SMITH, M.P., introduced the deputation, and pointed out the disgraceful condition of the Haymarket of a night. The Rev. Mr. KEIIPE and the Rev. Mr. BrJow supported the prayer of the memorial that some legislative action should be taken to put a stop to such a scandal. 13 °t h gentlemen agreed that the energetic way in which Bin Knox, the magistrate of Marlborough-street, acted, did for the time very materially check the evil, bu t unfortunately his decisions had been overruled by the Middlesex magistrates, and the " old scenes'' of the Haymarket were now re-enacted wi th greater effrontry than ever. Following upon this state of things property in the neighbourhood bad been seriously depreciated, while the moral aspect of the Goes" tion was such as to be greatly deplored. Mr. BRUCE, in reply, said that the inhabitants of a district had a perfect right to call on the Leg's' lature to put a stop to any open scandal and evil which affected the interests of the community. The difficultY was this—and those who had studied the question At all were fully aware of it—bow to make the law euifi• ciently stringent without making it too stringent. They could not, of course, make a special law for the district which the deputation more particlarlY represented, because any legislation which W as attempted must be of universal application. Th e y had asked him to introduce legislation for the refreshmen t. houses. They would admit, of course, that there WAS a very large number of these houses wh ich were conducted with propriety and innocuous''' . it did also happen that there were ma n y so conducted as to be a source of mischief and miser'''. They proposed that action should be taken in three ways' first, that there should be an alteration in the hours. li e had no desire to conceal his opinion, and he would say t he , t he believed one of the most important reforms wb ieh ~ could be effected would be an alteration in the hours, 1 1 ° only of refreshment-houses, but of alehouses and beer. houses. He thought that a limitation of the hours—esP e• cially at night-- would be most beneficial. It Was matter for the Government seriously to inclu ir , i how they could apply that principle to it' houses indiscriminately. They asked, secondly, that the refreshment houses should be so placed that the police should have power to enter them at all hours. lie could assure them that that proposal should have his best On' siderations. He had had many representations from the police as to the state of a number of these houses, and the case was now un d er th e anx i ous cons id era tion of tb• Covermbent, that they might see how far further legir laeion in that direction ought to be promoted. T hel suggested, thirdly, the amen d men t o f t h e l a w so thst persons who harboured prostitutes and improper Persons could be fitly punished. Mr. Bijow had stated with great accuracy that this law was admininisteredt very effectively by the interpretation which was put on by Mr. Knox, and that i n t er p re t a ti on was th e on e which wag e put upon it by all th e mos t exper i ence d m agistre,tes°t London. it seemed to him that the law, if administered with good sense and vi gour , oug ht t o b e su fficient. A' t any rate, there was extreme difficulty in carrying the Is ty further without doing that which it was not intended te do, and which it would b e un j us t t o d o . He 133115 t say that individually b e thought—though, perhaP,' his opinion was not w or th much—Mr. JK l2ex judgment perfectly sou n d.

He thought th e ev id ence wo uld carry convicttion to the mind of an y - sens ibl e person t" these men were i n f r i ng i ng th e law. (H ear ; hear.) He did not p re t en d to be a g re a lawyer, and therefore did not pretend to say what ertu l be the result of the dispute between Mr. Knox and Si°ls W. Bodkin. He had been considering how fa r it was possible to go without doing more than was intended Phe difficulty was to refrain from injuring P. , e r, fectly innocent people. If they went too far' or there were cases of hardship, they would defe at the : , own purpose. He had been considering the matter, Butc he did know that it was impossible to do anything. lie had not yet arrived at a satisfactory s°l.e tion of the difficulty. He thought that 1 3111 ', 1 1 5 liscussion on the matter would do -much. thought the question of the refreshment-houses was one with which they should deal when they were discuso' the whole question of the licensing system. It was har db i possible during this session to introduce a bill to dea l specially with the refreshment-houses. Therefore be w°tlid not deal with the question of hours, but be lourt consider whether it was not possible to bring in u short bill to deal with the question as raised by the conflicti7, lecision of Mr. Knox and Sir William Bodkin. (T e ther hear.) The reason of his delay had been to se e wbe not the good sense of the magistrates and judges c ould settle the question without the necessity of introducing a special measure. He could assure them tha t his sY pat lies were entirely with them. The whole subi e s c . t , ° ,.: the refreshment-houses required the most careful cotiLiciileis ration. No doubt great scandals did now arise. cou ld own part, and also on the part of the Government, he a s say that they were most desirous of removing tbe they regarded such evils as a great stigma on their s system.
