1/XLSAIII OF THE 1108PICTS.

In the last hours of • quiet tithing in the House of Com-
mons on Tuesday al ierooon, with to. suddenness of a
thundsr clap, the Puma( has announced • change in
Irish policy which is Little short of • revolution. As the
Rouse was on the point of going to • diTl5lOll respecting
Wigan, word was pared round the crowded benches that
• stateretht bed thin made lathe Rouse of Lords, and
that Mr. Foreter's resignation was an accomplished fact
It was difficult even now to believe it, for at the com-
mencement of the sitting Mr. Forum had been labia place
and had an, a score of questioes. The excitement
deepened hate silence, end the wend stillness was not
permitted to be broken again till Kr. Gladstone bad
spoken. In nuentrest tones, with unbroken, and ennui-
Utiles fluency, Mr. Gladstone made ion eat/meat 114 fully
and deliberataty 11. 1.11044 b it hal been • Budget speech.
Lord Cowper, he said. bad resigned, not from any difference
respecting pooicy, nor upon personal grounds. Respecting
the suspects, these were the words :—" I have to suite,
Sir, that directions cave been sent to Ironed for the
ramie, I orwitli of three members of this Rowse who hare
been imprisoned &lace October Int under powers gine by
the LIU and Property Protection Act." The frith members
interposed a lacJnic deer, bear,- and Mr. Gladstone
proceeded to thy "Tee lists of pirates similarly imprisoned
will be care( ally farther examined with • view to the
release as like principia of ail persona who are believed
to be associated with the commission or crime.' The next
announcement broke the spelt of restraint for • moment
"The menthes: Mr. Gladstone said, " has been taken by her
Majesty's Government upon their own responsibility." A
gibing laugh broke from a soot, of Conservative member'.
Mr. Gladstone, however, was absolutely unmoved.
'Finaby. Sir," he added, "this Is an act done without
any negotiation, promise, or eogagemmit whale° over." So
much for the suspects. Now for the Chief Secretary.
"Sir, this sot hal entailed upon es a lamentable
consequence—the resignation of my right hon. friend the
Mist Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant, who declines to
share our responsibility. A long sustained and vigorous
bunt of cheering was the reply oe the Opposition. Raring

—a tribute which was universally abeered—the Premier

the first plans, they did not at present contemplate satin
Parliament to renew the Life and Property Protection
Act, though final judgment could not yet be formed upon
the question. So soon all Vt., necessary Internee of be
Hones would permit, they would ask leave to bring in •
Sill to strengthen the ordinary law and to meet
difficulties such as have been experience i In the
administration of justice. The Premier went us to tall
the House that the Government were engaged on the
details of the measure for the better administration of
justice. and might have to continue the Protection Acts
with regard to secret societies if sock precautions became
inceseary, and then resumed his seat after a last word in

deep for words." Tbe Irish inenobsre in the hour of their
absolute triumph were decorously calm, tha gue,e2.l
Tories furious, the Irish Tories desperate, the
frightened, the Radicals jubilant The discussion which
followed showed these wide divergencies of passion. The
Irish members of all shades applauded the Government.
TiVISDAT,
THE RESIGNATION OF MR. FORSTER.

The House of Commons on Thursday had two surprises
dratang it in the earlier moments of the sitting. The
first came from Mr. W. H. Smith stating in view of the
Government proposals he would not proceed with his
resolution on the purchase deem The other, which for
a mowed overwhelmed the Home with astonishment,
was innocently admtnistered by Lerd Kensington, who,
appearing at the tabir, somewhat hurriedly moved the
writ for one of the Yorkshire !idiom to All the vacancy
created by Lad Frederick Cevendish's acceptance of the
Aloe of Mier Secretary. For • moment the Home was
stricken dumb. Then • roar of laughter, mingled with
sarcastic cries, bunt forth, which broadened down Into.
bus of sonvenatioo, and made inaudible much of the
proceedings immediately following. Mr. Forster arrived
early, and was elesely followed by Mr. Dillon and Mr.
O'Kelly, but at this time, and for an hour later, Mr.
Parnell was not an the House. Sir W. Harcourt, replying
to Mr. Cloven, announced that Devitt would De liberated.
At 10 minutes past floe Mr. Form, rose, and was greeted
with cheers from the Liberal benches, which were entladi,
.aurally taken up um the Cenaervative aide. At
this meabeat the House was crowded in every pat
and jest booth Mr. Vast • roe. the Prince of Wela end
the Duke of Tick took their seal among the peers. If,
Forster had got through the introduction of he speech,
and was stades the rs &sons why the three met:abets had
been arrested, when Mr. Parnell pushed his way through
the throng at the bar, and, advancing up the House, was
hailed with • cheer from the members of his party. Mr.
F.,rder observed that ho would bare been glad to release
them, and would have done en Ea soon as De could have
obtoned security that be law of the land should no
longer be set at naught not trampled under foot. Going
more into detail bo menti•ined three conditions which in
his opinion should are preceded their releage—Orst, a
public promise on their part not to get up their will
against the law of the and. No such promise had been
given; and Mr. Forster, amid wild 'sheering from the
Conservatives. entreated his late colleague not to rest
upon any secret understanding with the Lend Lagoon&
and not to try sod bribe them into obedience to
the law by concessions. The second condition was that
Ireland should be quiet—a condition not yet arrived at,
though Mr. Forster cleated for his administration that
great improvement bad been effected in Ireland. Boycot-
ting had been stopped, the Land League had been defeated.
and Its members were obliged to hide under the petti-
coats of the adieu to fly to Paris, or to seek the smothery
of that House. Secret societies still existed, but there
was one thing wore than secret societies, and that mo—
ths paying of
_blackmail to law-breakers. In his opinion,
since the battle was begun beldamn law and lawlesenese,
there never had been a time when it was more
to relax the hold of the lixecutave —a teatime=
cheered from the Conservative beached. The third cow
diem was the peeling of " • frab Act," Mr. Forster
oaks fer forty minute., and reurned his seat applauded,
The Premises remarks were very early interrupted
by Mr. Warton, who interposed with one of his peculiar
exclamations. Mr. Gleistone expressed his surprise
and regret et the new Perliamenuath mama, wUcts he
said some day or other would be pureed by these guilty
of it Referring to Mr. Forster's remarks dedicating
the paying of blackmail to lawbreaker,, Mr. Gladstone
emphatically .occurred, and derbeed that there was no
arrangement of any sort between Mr. Parnell and the
Government. "There had been no amassment, no
begaid, no negotiation. Nothing had been asked, and
nothing bad been taken." The right hon, gentleman pro-
ceeded to reply in detail to th. three points raised by XL
Forster, but his remake here, as earlier and bite, were
Interrupted by scuidalou, and, except in the precut
Parliament, unprecedented lo ',eruptions from Mr.
Wean, Sir Henry Tyler, and Mr. Cbarles Led., Mr.
Warton distinguished himself shove thereat. More than
ones the Premier stopped and betrayed the afore of thee
coarse outrages, which remained unrebuked by ths gentle-
men amongst whom the members named eat.— Mr.
Parnell said he bad verbally stated, and he had written
his belief, that a settlement of the arrears question would
have an enormous effect in retorter law and order in
Ireland, It would take away the last excuse for °strata
which have taken place—and that If such • settlement
were made, he and Sir friends would be able to take such
steps as might have • desirable effect in diminishing these
unhappy and lamentable Outrollok Mr. DiUon Occelarred
in this view whilst insisting that he had no conimint.

keening himself on Mr. Forster. "rotated that the right
boo. madman had not bailey:l the woad of tha
members. Sir Stafford Northoote insisted upon knowing
on whose &dela the Government had taken the roma

answered that they bad acted on the information supplied
by the Lord-Lieuteaant and Mr. Foram from widen the`

gone through, and the Home adjourned at Ma minutes

In the House of Commons. Sir M. Blab-Beech gave
