LONDON, March IL, 2 P. M.-Mr.
Gladstone waited on Her Majesty, Queen
Victoria, at Buckingham palace, at noon
to-day to tender his resignation. 1t IS pro.
bable that Mr.. Dlsraeli will be summoned
to form new ministry.
The Irish University bill did not receive
the vote of single conservative member of
the House of Commons. Foity-seven
liberals, of whom thirty-six were Irish,
voted against the bill fifteen IRISH mem
bers voted for it. Seventeen members of
the House, including DR.. Isaac Bull, the
member for Limerick, were absent. Fort,
members participated in the debate. Right
Hon. John Bright, Jacob Bright, his
brother, and the Marquis of Lorne sup
ported the government.
The scene in the house last night when
the defeat OF the ministry by the rejection
of the bill was announced is indescrlbable
The excitement in the gallery and OH the
floor was intense while the opponents of
the measure INDUCED in tumultnous cheers
over its rejection. Among distinguished
personages in the strangers gallery, which
was crowded during the debate, ". re the
Prince of Wales, Princess Louise and
Prince Christian. The Scotch and Welsh
members supported the bill, and the Catho.
lies were unanimous in their opposition to
it.
After the announcement of the result of
Mr.. Gladstone arose anc said: "The
vote first given is certainly of grave char
acter. As the House never v she's to con.
tmue It's deliberations, when the existence
Of the government is in doubt, move an
| adjournment until Thursday" The molten
was carried.
In consequence Of the late hour of which
the result was reached the editorial COM
ments of the London morning journals are
meagre and restrained.
