The announced intention of the British Peers
to reject the Irish Church bill in the House Of
Lords, forebodes a conflict between the two
houses in the English Parliament such as has
not taken place since 1882. Then the peers re
jectei the refcrm bill, the House Of Commons
Immediately passed resolution Of confidence in
the ministry, and of their determination to sc-
cep; nOthingIbut the bill, and the peers had
finally to pass the bill under threat Of having
their order swamped by the creation of eighty
additional peers. The liberals now have a ma
jority in the House Of Commons of over one
hundred. They and the party they represent,
show no signs Of any intention to compromise
Mr.. Gladstone viii dissolve the present Parlia-
ment, and call new one, and the creation Of a
new batch of liberal peers is proposed, sufficient
to give the requisite majority in the House Of
Lords, when next the bill comes forward.

In an interesting debate on Canada and the
British Colonies on this continent in the British
House Of Commons on the %, reported by cable,
Mr.. Monsell the Under Secretary for the Colon
ial Department, intimated that the policy of the
government was to throw the cost Of self de-
fence on each colony. Measures to that end had
been partially taken, and they would be extend
ed next year. He had no doubt that the arrange
ment for the cession Of the Hudson's Bay Com
pany's territory would receive the ratification Of
the Canadian Government The question Was
not one Of purchase only, out also Of develop
ment, colonization, and civilization. which had
hitherto been virtually closed. If the scheme
were successful, the Dominion would extend from
the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific. Viscount
Bury regarded Canada as the future highway
to the Indies and the East He ridiculed the
idea of an incorporation of the British posses
sions with the United States, and said that by
such course the Colonies had everything to lose
and nothing to gain.
Sir Stafford Northcote, thought that the Cana
dams we're better able to decide for themselves
what action they would take in the matter than
to act on the advice Of the government, which
would seem at this distance to be one of the most
sensible things said in the debate.

TIE ST. ALBANs BUCKEYE MowER.-We took
a look through the shops ard ware rooms Of the
St. Adams Foundry Company, few days since,
and saw the % Buckeye in every stage Of man
ufActure. In view Of the fact that the relative
merits Of several different machines are to be
determined by a rigid trial during this month,
do not feel quite at liberty to express any
opinion in that direction, but It may not be out
of place for Us 20 say that We found everything
connected with the manufacture Of the Buckeye
in a highly commendable condition. The ma
terial used and the workmanship are all strictly
first class. This company claims to have made
some very decided Improvements in the machine
since it took the first prize at the great trial at
Auburn in 1866. 1t has the merit Of being
home institution, which in more than one sense
ought to have some weight with purchasers.
