RESIGNATION OF THE BRITISH MIN.
ISTRY

The events anticipated in this column yes-
terdsy. took place a few hours later: the Dis
raeIi Ministry resigned, and MI Gladstone
was Immediately sent for by the Queen and
requested to undertake the formation of a new
Ministry. The failure of Disraeli is one of the
most remarkable on record With his bril-
liant and diversified powers, and the fertility
Of his resources, it was deemed probable by
acute Observers that he would hold long
lease of his laborlously attained Premiership.
But his official seat is scarcely warm ere he is
thrown from II by his troublesome question Of
the Irish Church. BY skilful maneuvering he
had csrried through the enlarged suffrage bill
in a shape to promise him a long and secure hold
of Office, and his vexation AZ the introduction
of the Irish question exhibited itself in an out
burst of rage against Gladstone for bringing il
up. IL is reported that he sought to drown his
modification in weak brandy and water
and became so incoherent Al the closing part of
his speech that the House of Commons gave
him the hint to sit down by cries of Divide,
diyider Disraeli now goes into opposition,
and very savage and troublesome adversary
he will prove to Mr.. Gladstone, the new pre-
mier. The Irish church resolves must be fol-
lowed up by bill, and then will come the
real difficulties of the question. That Disraeli
will improve every opportunity 10 unhorse his
rival there can be no doubt, and unless great
sagacity is shown by the Liberals in framing a
measure for the disestablishment of the Irish
church, he may succeed.

BATEMAN's OPERA BoUFFE.-The distinctive
character of Mr.. Bateman's operate represen-
taIOns is the perfection that has been OBJ
tanned by leaving nothing undone either
through his principal artists his chorus, his
orchestra, eostumeIs or scenery. The effect is
produced by the whole, and not as is usual in
operate exhibitions by having one portion
well done and the other parts presented care
IessIy. Last night the Grand Duchess of Ge-
IOlstein delighted a large and fashInable audi
ence, and Mile Tostee. with that rare skill and
Gbdudoa that distinguishes her and enables her to
b. piquant and suggestive without coarseness,
did her best her conductors In the lyric art sus-
tanning their respective parts with ability. The
chorus was large and effective throughout
The Grand Duchess will renew the public en-
thusiasm again this evening, and be represent
cd for the last time tomorrow evening On
Thursday IA Belle Helene Will be prod uced
tor the first time. 1t divides the honors with
the Grand Duchess in reputation, and is a
Iaughable burlesque on Grand Opera, and not
more suggestive of human weakness probably
a an the more serious versions of the classic
story on which il is based.
