Position of a Government in a minori.j, existing
only through the discord and differences of their
opponents. (Laughter.) It is impossible that the
Government of this country can be properly
carried on by a government in a minority; but no
true friend of the Conservative cause can wish that
any precipitate measure should be taken to force on
a contest for which they are every day beceming
better and better prepared, and in which the object
is not so much to win quickly as to win surely and
safely. (Hear, hear, and applause.) There are
questions, as I said just now, which it is most im-
portant should be settled, and settled at once, for
they are dangerous questions if they are left open.
Questions of domestic policy, as regard the relations
of the Church and State, and 4uestions of foreign
policy—questions especially affecting the great in-
terests of our country—press for a decision—ques-
tions with which this Government is unab:e to
grapple because of the fundamental differences of
opinion which exist among its members—questions
which it is most important we should have the
power to settle by a majority of the Conservative
members of Parliament. (Hear, hear, and ap-
plause.) Therefore, I trust it will be found, when
the trial comes, that the constituencies of the coun-
try will rally round the Conservative candidates at
every hustings, and will return to Parliament men
able and willing to deal with those questions in a
spirit of liberal intelligence, and, at the same time,
of true and sound Conservatism. (Loud and pro-
longed cheering.)

they mounted to run their tilt against Lord
Derby's Government. (Hear, hear, and laughter.)
What has become of the great battle-horse
now ? Why it has been turned cut to grass.
(Roars of laughter.) If its services should be
again found useful it may, perhaps, be taken up
again. But at present all he has to do is to " rest
and be thankful." (Continued laughter.) There
is their Church policy. (Hear.) Will any one tell
us what the Church policy of the present adminis-
tration is ? It seems to be summed up in this—that
they think something ought to be done, but what it
is they do not know. (Laud cheers and laughter.)
They have nothing themselves to propose, and
when questions of difficulty are proposed by others
we find one minister voting and speaking one way,
another minister voting and speaking another way,
a third conveniently absent, and a fourth pairing
with somebody who is ill at Florence—(applause
and great laughter) ; and yet never was there a time
in which Church policy and the questions—the great
pestions—in reference to the connection of the
Church and the State deserved more anxious con-
sideration than now—(bear, hear) ; and never, I
will venture to say, was there a time at which a
ministry possessed the advantages which the pre-
sent ministry possessed. Never has a ministry had
a fairer or better opportunity of coming forward
end proposing a satisfactory settlement of questions
which it is dangerous to leave unsolved. (Hear, and
applause.) When we, by the energy of our party
and at the beck of our leader, had succeeded in con-
vertingea,majority of 70 to a majority in our favour,
by the casting vote of the peaker, then was the
time when the Government, if it was really inte-
rested—and it ought to have been—in settling the
great question of church rates, which so vitally
affects the connection between Church and State ;
then was the time when the Government might
have come forward with some well-considered, well-
planned, and moderate measere for the settlement
of the difficulty—(hear, hear) ; the best of their own
supporters were anxious it should be done—(hear) ;
the best of their own supporters were urging a set-
tlement of some kind, and such an opportunity pro-
bably as no Government had ever had before was
offered to them, but it was thrown aside because
they knew not how to avail themselves of it.
(Hear, hear, and applause.) Well, gentlemen,
such is the position in which they stand with regard
to domestic matters ; but perhaps it may be said we
did not think very much of their domestic policy.
(Laughter.) We did not think much of their sin-
cerity about reform, and we never had a great
opinion of them as Churchmen—(loud laughter)—
but there was one subject upon which they were
truly great—(ironical cheers)—there was one point
on which they were always able to take the advans
tage of us, and that was their foreign policy.
(Laughter and ironical cheers.) It was their foreign
policy which was flaunted in our faces at every turn.
When we ventured to criticise their policy in
domestic affairs we were told that they were, of all
men, the only men who could at once maintain the
honour of this country and settle the affairs of the
world. (Laughter.) They were possessed, if you
would believe them and their organs, of a marvellous
secret, of a patent invention, by which they were to
settle the affairs of Europe without any expenditure
of blood or of treasure on the part of England.
(Hear, hear, and renewed cheers.) They were in
the happy position of possessing what we may con-
sider the universal medicine of England's moral
influence—(laughter)—and never was there a patent
medicine of Mr. Holloway's that was more puffed or
more vaunted than this moral influence of which
they were so proud. (Continued laughter.) Testi-
monials came from enry part of the world as to its
utility. (Renewed laughter.) The great cause was
Italy. We know what they did for Italy—(hear,
hear)—we know it was they who gave to Victor
Emmanuel Lombardy and the Duchies—(continued
cheers)—we know it was they who gave to him
Naples and Sicily—(oh, ob)—and if be had not
yet got Rome and Venice, all that was neces-
sary to ensure his gaining those desirable pos-
seesiens was that the people of Englmnd should
stand firm by the present Government, and keep
Lord Palmerston and Lord Russell in office till
he got them. (Roars of laughter.) The moral
influence of England at first went up into the
air like a bubble, and in the sunshine it re-
flected all the colours of the rainbow, but, un-
fortunately of late the bubble has burst, and we find
ourselves in rather an unpleasant position with re-
gard to continental affairs. (Hear, hear.) The moral
influence of England was tried in the settlement of
the affairs of Poland and Denmark, and the result
is that the name
.of England is at this moment a
bye-word and a reproach among foreign nations.
(Hear, and cheers.) That is what we have gained
by the use of the moral influence of England—
(applause)—and that is the point upon which the
Government will have to answer to the country.
(Hear, and cheers.) Now, observe the way in which
they disguise the question that is raised and the
false issue upon which their organs put the ques-
tion. (Hear, hear.) They say that those who
object to the manner in which they have introduced
the name of England into these contests that have
been going on, that those who fled fault with them
for the disgrace which we say they have brought
upon that name, are the advocates of war, and that
they are the opponents of the peaceful policy of the
Government. Never was an issue joined so falsely,
never was there a case in which there was a more
dishonest attempt to evade the real question at
issue. (Hear, and applause.) What we blamed
them for was not for having kept the peace, not for
having endeavoured to bring these matters to a
pacific settlement—(hear)—but we blamed them for
two things. We blamed them because they so mis-
managed their diplomatic relations with the coun-
tries of Europe, and allowed a question which ought
to have been, and which might have been settled by
peaceful and diplomatic means, to come to an open
rupture which they ought to have prevented—
(applause)—and we blamed them for having made
use of bold language, and loud language. and
threatening language, without any occasion to
do so, or without any intention of following it up.
(Cheers.) It is that discrepancy, the employment
of threatening language, which they knew
they were not prepared to follow up, which
has brought us into the position in which we
not stand. (Hear, hear, and loud applause.) You
know it is impossible that these matters can at pre-
sent be discussed in Parliament as the country
might have wished they should be, because we are
all anxious that these foreign affairs should be
brought to the best and most peaceful settlement of
which they could admit. (Hear, bear.) But so
long as there is hope, the slightest hope, even at
this the eleventh hour, of a peaceful settlement being
in any way brought about, we are unwilling on our
part to disturb it by provoking a debate or intro-
ducing any new complications. (Hears hear.)
But
the time will come, whether in the form of a debate
in the House of Commons or not I do not know, but
it will certainly come, when upon the hustings of
England, and before the electoral tribunals of Eng .
land, the Government will have to render an ac-
count of the way in Which they have thrown away
the influence of England, and for having brought
her name into disrepute amongst the nations of
the wfoorrldth—a heers) and' gentlemen, speak-
inge
party, I will venture to
say that we care not how soon the time may come.
Conservative c
(Hear, hear, and enthusiastic applause.) We know
that it cannot be longer off than nest year; it is
probable it may be even this year—(bear)—but
whenever it does come I feel sure the Conservative
people of this country will rally round their eten-
dard—that there will be no flinching, no disunion,
no personal jealousies that will be allowed to stand
in the way—(cheers)—and if the results of the
general election should be such as the results of the
recent elections have latterly given us some reason
to hope, you
party in this
then see that the Conservative
country will be placed in a position

The Loss of the City of New York,

(From the Cork Examiner.)

QUEENSTOWN, March 29.

The first serious accident which has befallen the American
steazneravunning to and-from this port occurred this morn- _
ing. The City of New York, after a splendid passage from
New York, struck upon Daunt's Rock as she was entering
the harbour, and great fears are entertained that she will be-
come a total wreck. Fortunately, the accident has not been
attended by loss of life. The ship ran right on the centre of
the ridge of rocks and remained firmly seated on it, so that
no immediate danger to the passengers rose. The weather
was exceedingly favourable. Had the ship struck on one of
the ledges of the rock, there is every reason to believe that
the mishap would have been fraught with the most lament-
able consequences. The particulars of the unfortunate oc-
currence are these :—The ship had an extraordinary fine
passage across. Her average rate of speed was up to 300
miles a day; before 2 o'clock this morning she sighted the
harbour, and, as the weather was exceedingly clear, she
was kept going at the rate of 14 miles an hour as she ap-
proached it. The moon was shining brightly at the time,
the wind was north-west—that is, blowing off the land, and
it is stated that Captain Kennedy, in order to keep the wind-
ward of the rock, in coming in, took the inner passage, the
breadth of which is about three-quarters of a mile. All was
going on fairly when at 2 40 or so the ship run with a loud
crash right upon the centre of Daunt's Rock. The concus-
sion shook all the passengers who had retired to sleep. It
is described as resembling a series of shocks, and the ship
seemed literally to drive over ledge after ledge as impelled
at almost full speed she dashed upon the rock, The water
rushed into her compartments in immense volumes, and
in a very short time it had risen to the level of the sea. A
scene of the greatest confusion ensued; the passengers,
some halt dressed, others as they had risen from sleep,
rushed about not knowing the extent of their danger, but
thinking from the terrible shook that the ship received that
she would go down on the instant. All attempts to move
her in any way wore out of the question, for in a few minutes
after she struck the water had put out the engine fires, and
was still rising. The only thing that could be done was to
put out the boats and obtain assistance from shore. A num-
ber of blue lights were thrown up, and signal guns were fired
incessantly. Aid from shore did not, however, reach the
vessel until about half-past 4 o'clock. About 20 minutes to
3 o'clock the tug boat, which meets the steamer to receive
the mails and passengers, left Queenstown, the City of New
York having been at that time signalled, and proceeded out
as far as Roche's Point. It waited there for some time,
until some of the ship's signal guns were heard, and then,
surmising that an accident must have occurred, the tug boat
proceeded. Oa getting a little further out, the City of Now
York was found fairly placed upon the rock, with bfir hood
turned towards Queenstown, within about ten feet of the
Daunt's Rock Buoy. The tug boat was immediately got
alongside, and, under the direction of Captain Kennedy,
the mails and as many of the passengers as possible
were put on board. There were 78 cabin and 75
steerage passengers on board the ship, besides the crew,
which numbers about 120 men. Intelligence of the
accident was immediately despatched to Queenstown, and
steps were promptly taken to render all the aid which
could be given. The Admiral of the port was com-
municated with, and he at once sent out her 3.l,ljesty's
ships Advice and Magpie. The Jackal', the Canard Com •
pany's tender the Arran Castle, the Brunel, and the Robert
Bruce, tug boats, also proceeded out. The passengers' lug-
gage was got out as soon as possible, and put on board the
tugs, and steps were taken to lighten the ship by removing
as much of the cargo as could be come at. These operations
are being continued up to the present. It was dead ebb
when the ship struck. The tide now passing, and it is not
known what the effect of this will be on the ship, It is
feared that she may lurch over into the deep water at the
other side, in that case, being iron built, she would be com-
pletely lost. The steamers named above are still by her.
DAITNT'S ROCK, Noon.
The City of New York is in the same position. The Ad-
miralty and Cunard Company's are operating with other
tugs in lightening her. The foremast is uninjured, and rests
upon a part of the rock. The injury is reported to be amid-
ships, where the rock has penetrated through her starboard
bunkers. She fills with the flood tide to her main deck,
Wind now blowing fresh.

ROCHE'S POINT, 1 35 p.m.

The City of New York is now stripped of her top-
gallantmasts and yards, mizen topsailyard, with fore-
topsail. Two of her Majesty's gunboats, in addition to
those already in attendance, have arrived at the scene of
the disaster. _
