| LONDON, May t-Midnight.-There was a
very full house at the opening OF Commons to-
night. The Prince of wales and Prince Chris.
tiau OF Schleswig-Holstein were among the
distinguished visitors present. Great interest
| was manifested In the proceedings, and much
| excitement appeared among the members. The
| Premier and Gladstone were loudly cheered
as they took their seats. After some unim.
portant business, Dlsraeli rose and was
greeted with cheers from the ministerial
| bench.
| He reviewed the course OF the Tory admin.
| istration which, at its outset, was without a
| majority OF supporters In the House, and
| spoke OF Its uniform success, SO entire, in

serving peace not merely with the Continent
but with the great Republic of the West. In
| Ireland the Ministry had triumphed at every
point, while at the same time concllisting the
| people; while In Abysslnia 4 great deed OF
| arms and for humanity had done credit not
only to the officers and soldiers engaged, but
also TO the ministry who planned 1t.
On Thursday last, on a vote upon the first of
| series OF resolutions, the Ministry encoun.

| ensd confusion to Ireland and ultimately the
| overthrow Of the English Church, the effect OF
| which would be the absorption OF all sects In
| the Church Of Rome. To this measure he
could not assent. and he asked Of the House
time to advise with the Queen on the new at

| Her Majesty had heard his statement, and
had not only declined his rendered reslgnstion,
| but had urged him not to dissolve Parliament
| In its present anomalous circumstance, until
| an appeal could be made TO the new constitu.
| encies, and this he hoped to do with the aid of
| the House. lie deprecated the urgency with
which Mr.. Gladstone had pressed the resolves
and hoped that the suspension OF the orders of
the day would not be pressed now, as he was
| ready to give to some other Government the
right to carry on the discussion, II debate must
| be.
| Gladstone said the Premier's praise OF Tories
was not only in bad taste, but especially that
portion OF 1t respecting finance. Lord Derby,
he remarked, Was not asked to stay In Office
in 1859 Nj Gladstone doubted whether the
eulogium passed upon the Premier was a chal.

| laughed at the cry of danger to the established
Church OF England, and At the Church OF
Rome absorbing all other sects. II was UNI
ceIcnted that ministry which had been
beaten by - majority should think Of dissolv.
ing Parliament.
II might be right to elect a new Parliament
to settle the question OF the Irish Church, but
Its first duty when chosen would be to settle
the Ministry itself. The Premicr's cause was
unconstitutional. The House was hostile to
the Ministry, and 1t would not he wanted to
govern the eouRtry until the fall Meantime,

would remain in suspense, The duty of the
Liberals was clearly to follow up the resolves
with supervisory action, thus clearing the
way Of the now Parliament. They must go

They had no bargains to make. The
| Premier had said nothing would change the

not urge the suspension OF the orders tonight
II the Ministers would allow the earliest pos.
sible day for the consideration of the resolves
II they passed the House, bill should follow
suspending the appointments in the Irish
Church. The next step thereafter would be
for the Ministry to take.
MI. Robert Lowe said after the ministers
had nullihcd the will OF the House, they had
the audacity to ask for the control of months
| to come OF the Government. Such = course
was unconstitutional, and 1t was absurd for
| an executive and legislature distrusting each
other TO maintain show of harmony until
| next year.
MI. John Bright said the PrenIieT's statement
would amaze the country. lie asked the
| House to reverse the usages Of the constItStIou
| that he might keep an Office got by arts not
the most worthy, and held by the adopting Of
dogmas he had bitterly denounced. Mr. Bright
showed the Inconsistencies Of the tories noted
the variation OF opinions among members OF
the Cabinet and said an adverse vote was no
Il disgrace to Ministry, but to hold ONCE after
such vote was.
There was no reason why the constitutional
practice should be dispensed with IN favor Of
Mr.. Disreali, who knew well enough that no
Irish or Scotch reform bill not of \ nature to
suit the Irish and Scotch Liberals could pass
the House. Reform the Irish Church and

possible for a Ministry In accordance with the
House.
Mr.. Disraeli said the Liberals had q right to
pass \ vote Of want Of confidence, and asked
why they had not done SO. He then fixed the
18th Of May for the debate on the Irish Church
question.
