!. Parliament reassembled in session in the after
noon to-day. The attendance of members of the
House OF Commons was unusually numerous, and
the galleries were filed almost to surocation with
visitors. The interior of the House presented an
unusual spectacle in anticipation OF an important
communication from Mr.. Gladstone announcing
the termination of the ministerial crisis by his re-
turn to ONCE. All the benches were filed with
members. and the opposition mustered in consid-
cradle force. Among the distinguished persons
present were Prince Arthur, the Duke of Cambridge
and Prince Christian Many members Of the House
Of Lords also attended in the gallery set apart for
peers

House loud cheers successfully raised by
their respective supporters.

able to acquaint the House with the fact that he

permission were prepared to carry on the govern

pnly after the party opposite had Internationally
befused to form Ministry that he and his friends

MIR. Gladstone added that the Queen had given
him permission to read an.extract from state

government were made with the deliberate inten-

given when the occasion arose he considered not
fully in accord with the exigencies OF the case nor
with parliamentary usage.
The Premiers statement was frequently inter-

continued at the close.
Mr. Disrael1 explained the course he had thought

had suggested dissolution of Parliament; he had
declined to advise such step, and stated to Her
Majesty that in his opinion there was no adequate
reason for the government to resign, and that it
might return to ONCE without the slightest loss OF
honor and to the greatest possible convenience Of
the public interests.
