Crisis between the Lords and COmmOns-In-

By Atlantic Gable.
LONDON, July 21.-The die is cast, and the
struggle between the Lords and the country has
finally come to an issue. In consequence Of the
abrupt termination of the debate last night, in
tense excitement has prevailed among political
circles during the day. The Cabinet has been
in session all this afternoon, and a report is
ahoat that great dissensions exist in the Coun-
Gil Messrs Gladstone, Bright, Lowe, and all
the strongest members insist on an immediate
withdrawal Of the Irish Church bill, ON the
ground of the obstinate resistance of the Peers
to the principles which renders direct conflict
between the two houses Of Parliament inevi-
table. Some members of the Cabinet, Lord Cla-
rcndon among the number, advocated more mode
rate proceedings, such letting the bill take its
course and only abandoning it at the last mo-
ment. The insulting language used by Lord Sails
bury towards Mr.. Gladstone, joined to the large
majority cast against the preamble, however,
show that all attempts to effect n compromise
are useless. There is little doubt but that Mr..
Gladstone will carry his point of withdrawing
the bill Immediately. This will be followed by
a speedy adjournment, and calling another ses-

Hall for tomorrow. This will be followed
by monster open air demonstration. Rumors
are ahoat that the Duke of Cambridge has
openly expressed his indignation at the radical
ism shown by the Ministry, and he hopes that
the Queen will refuse to sanction the coercion of
the peers. The present crisis promises well to
open the ball to sweeping reforms in England,
commencing with the virtual destruction of the
hereditary legislation.
The Council of NIinisters-NO Definite Course
Resolved Upon.
The Cabinet Council this afternoon was an
unusually protracted one, and did not break up
until late hour. No definite result was arrived
at from the deliberations. The final decision
and future course of the Ministry were reserved
until tomorrow, when another Cabinet meeting
will be held.
The latest rumOrs ahOat are that the Govern
ment will make one last offer for compromise
before it resorts to extreme measures by the
withdrawal of the bill.
Lords Granville, Clarendon, and others, it is
said, made earnest appeals for moderation.

present moment. Notwithstanding the hesita-
tion of the Ministry, the conflict between the
peers and the people is inevitable. The crisis
will be delayed only from knowledge of the
momentous character of the undertaking. 1t is
rumored that disruption of the Cabinet may
ensue.
