The Formal Resignation Of the Glad
stone Ministry.
Disrael Summoned by the Queer
To Form a New Governme,
He Asks Time to Consider.

House of Commons and Granville in the
House of Lords, this afternoon announced
that the Ministers had rendered TO the
queen their designations, which her Males
ty hsd accepted. Both houses adjourned
until Monday. Disraeli to-day received a
summons from the Queen and Immediate
ly proceeded to Buckingham palace.
Lord Granville stated that the Cabinet
resigns because of reverse vote on the
Irish University bill, and asked for an adj
journment, which was agreed to.
Mr.. Gladstone on rising in the House of
Commons to announce the resignation of
the Government was received with loud
and prolonged cheering. When he had in
formed the House of the resignation and
its acceptance by the Queen, he moved that
the sitting be adjourned until Monday. he
added that when that day arrived, should
the public interest require it he would ask
for further adjournment. The announce
ment was received in perfect silence.
Gipin gave notice that on resumption
of the sitting he would move the following:
That the vote of Wednesday last on the
Irish University bill was not and is not in
tended to be declaration or an expression
of want of confidence in the government,
and the House takes earliest opportunity of
expressing its confidence in the general po-
icy of Her Msjesty's Ministers. Gilpin's
motion was received with cheers and the
House adjourned until Monday.
BumOrs of Hybrid Ministry.
LONDON, March 13, 10 P. M.--Rumors
were in circulation in the evening papers
of formation of coalition ministry, but
no one puts any confidence in them. If,
however, say the papers, Israeli fails to
strengthen his party in Parliament by the
adoption of concurrent educational endow-
ment, he will attempt to organize a party
similar in form to that in the French As
sembly known as the Centre. The person.
al friends of Gladstone express doubts
whether he viii ever again take office.
Midnight.
LONDON, March 13.-Midnight-Dis-
raeli waited on the Queen to-day and was
requested to form new government. He
gaze Her Majesty no definite answer and
begged for time for consultation with his
friends of whom several were abroad. The
Queen acceded and Dsraeli Immediately
forwarded kilograms to Lords Derby,
Cairne and Cornorvan. Until their an
swers arrive it viii be impossible to fore
tell the course of events.
The greatest uncertainty prevails. The
Conservative leaders object to take Office
while their party is in minority of 80 in
the House of Commons. A report pre-
vailed to-day in the Hobbies of Parliament,
and was generally credited, that Disraeli,
on Monday, will inform the Queen that he
is unable to compose a government, and
will advise Her Majesty to call upon Earl
Granville to preside over provisional cab
met until July, when dissolution Of the
Parliament should be ordered. Glad
stones supporters declare that Lord Gran
vile will positively decline such q position;
Disraeli, having brought about the Govern
ment's defeat, must take the responsibility.
If Disr aeli ultimately declines the task of
creating cabinet, it is probable an appeal,
which both parties hesitate to initiate, will
be made 10 the country.
The ministers decided at their first meet
ing yesterday evening to resign, but held
second meeting for the adoption Of formal
resolution to that effect. From the mo-
ment the result of the division ON the Irish
university bill was announced, Gladstone
never wavered in his determination to re-
sign.
Gilpin was to have given notice of his
motion for a vote of confidence before the
ministerial statement was made, but the
Premier rising quickly, anticipated him,
and 1t is believed that the motion, coming
when it did, was out of order and cannot
be entertained and will have no effect.
Herald Dispatch.
Disraeli has not accepted the Office nor
definitely decided. He is waiting the arri-
val of Lord Derby before finally answering.
There appears to have been an understand.
ing between the disafected Liberals and
the Tory party. Tbs latter had given out,
to secure the greatest amount of opposi-
ton to the bill, that its de-
feat should not occasion the accession
of the Tories 10 Office. Some of the Con-
sentative leaders certainly rallied hesitating
Liberals to oppose the bill on the assurance
that Tory ministry would be impossible.
Conservative leaders, such as Lord Csrno-
van, Claiborne, Hardy and the Marquis of
Salisbury, resolutely refuse to accept Office.
The Conservative party is thus divided on
the safety and expediency of attempting to
govern with Parliament largely hostile on
general principles, although in harmony on
tinue, the conservatives will maintain their
present attitude and Gladstone will proba-
bly, be invited to continue in Office during
the session and avert any early dissolution.
1t is more probable, however, that the 10
ries will reconsider their promises and make
the attempt to govern, counting on getting
safely through the session by only bringing
up necessary business bills, and not ven
turing on any measure involving differ
ence of principles.
Following Stanley.
The German Geographical Societies pro-
pose to send an expedition to explore the
western part of Africa, and supplement- the
discoveries of DR.. Livingstone. A consider
able sum ofmoney has already been raised
to meet the expenses of the expedition.
The Civil War in spain-The Late
Battle Near PampeIuna.
A specia' dispatch to the Standard from
Spain, via Paris, says Gen. Nouvilla has
been defeated by the Carlist chieftain Oar
regaray near Pampeluna. The government
troops attacked the Carlists on the heights
of Monreai, failed TO dislodge them and
were forced to retreat. They lost three
commissioned officers and twenty priVates
killed, and twenty officers and ons hundred
men wounded. The'Carlists lost heavily,
but the particulars have not been made
known.
MADRID, March 13.-An express train
from Madrid for Castirela was thrown from
the track by the Carlists near Villa Franco.
While the train was thus disabled the in-
surgents opened fire and killed the engin-
eer, fireman and two brakemen: The
passengers and guard barricaded them
selves in neighboriDg house from which
they began brisk fire of pistols and
musketry. The Carlists finally took to
flight and a government force shortly after
wards coming upon the scene set out in
pursuit. The band fled towards Monte
acosta. The Impartial believes it was led
by the Cure OF Santa Cruz, who set fire
aud destroyed four stations of railway last
Monday.
Socialist disturbances are reported in
Estramadura. The restoration OF military
