definite result arrived at, the final decision
and future course of the ministry being
reserved until 10 morrow, when another
meeting will be held. The latest rumors
afoat are that the government will make
one last offer to compromise before it resorts
to extreme measures by withdrawal of the
bill. Lords Clarendon, Granville, and
others, it is said made earnest appeals for
moderation, urging the extreme danger of
giving the reins TO reyolutionists. The
sentiment Of the masses at tie present
moment, notwithstanding the situation of
the ministry conflict between the peers
and people, is that the inevitable crisis
will be delayed only from a knowledge of
the momentous character Of the under
taking, 1t is rumored that disruption
of the cabinet ms ensue.

gle begins. The Lords and the country
have finally come to issue. In consequence
of the abrupt termination of debate last
night, intense excitement prevailed among
political circles during the day. The cab

promises we'll to open the ball to sweeping
reforms in England, commencing with the
virtual destruction of hereditary legi5a-

The Times says the ministry resolved TO
preserve the Irish Church bill In spite of
the majority against it in the House of
Lords. The conclusion is the differences
between the Houses in respect to the
preamble and sixty.eighth clause do not
offer any insuperable obstacle to the pas

The Times alluding 10 recent outrages
in Ireland says: Centuries of misrule
have planted perverse views in Irish peas
ants breasts which must disappear under
beDefcent and enlig htened legislation. For
this reason We trust in such measures of
Justice as the Irish Church bill, which
should not be left unsettled a moment
longer than can be avoided. Until it il
settled there is little hope of tranquility
in Ireland, and graVest effects are to be
apprehended from temporary postpone

measure from delay.
