LONDON, March 20-Evening.- Tho
House OF Commons presented an unusual
spectacle to-day, in anticipation Of an
important communication from Gladstone,
announcing termination Of the Ministe.
rial cribs By his return to office. All the
benches were filed with members, and
the galleries were crowded with gpectR.
torS. Among the distinguished persons
present were Prince Arthur, the Duke OF
Cambridge, and Prince Christian. Many
members OF the Honse Of Lords
also attended the sitting. AS Glad.
stone and DiSEaell entered the House
loud cheers were BuoceSSively raised by
their respective supporters when Mr..
Gladstone rose 10 make q. statement. The
cheering was created this time from all
parts oi the chamber. He said he was
now able 10 AcquRint tie House with the
fact that he and his colleagues In Office,
with Her MajeSty's permission, were pre-.
pared to carry on the government % be-
lore. He explained fully that 1t was only
after the party opposite had condition9lly
refused to form o ministry that he and his
friends had consented TO resume Office.
Mr. Gladstone added that the Queen had
given him permission to read an extract
trom q statement he had made to Her Ma
iesty. It was TO the effect that he did not
suppose that the efforts OF the gentle.
men Of the opposition TO defeat the
Government were made with the delib.
crate intention Of refusing to organize
cabinet u It Bhould be required Of them,
but summary refusal was given when
the occasion srose-he considered not
fully in accord with the exingencies Of
the case nor with parliamentary usage.
The Premier's statement was frequent
" interrupted by applause, which was
warm and long continued.
At tho Close. Dlsfaeli explained the
course he had thought proper to pursue
Hince the beginning Of the crisis. He
confessed that the differences between
himselfand the Irish Catholics were insur-
mountable. Anew cabinet would require
until Easter to get into working order.
Even then It would have to deal with the
financial estimates made by itS prede.
cessor, and would proably be outvoted
every night In Parliament. A dlssolu.
ton Of the House had been suggested, but
Why dissolve the sitting. On the opposi'
ton benches he heard his friends had q
difficulty in forming policy on 80 short
Q notice, and 1t was not to be expected
that they could appeal to the country
without Q policy on questions that were
more important than that of the Irish
Ministry bill. There were many ques-
tons on which 1t had been impossible to
mature policy even In opposition, such
as the Central Asian difficulties; the new
rules In international law by the
Geneva Board; the payment Of the
award for the Alabama Claims; the
Commercial treaty with France and
others Of equal magnitude. All things
considered he had felt 1t to be his duty to
decline the responsibility Of the organi'
zation oil new government. The Queen
herself had suggested dissolution OF Par
lament and he had declined to advise
such q step, and stated to Her MajiSty
that, In his opinion there was no adequate
reason for the Government to resign, and
that It might return to Office without the
slightest loss Of honor and to the greatest
possible interests.
At this point some'oi the Conservative
members expressed their dissatisfaction
In loud cries Of no, no.
In the House Of Lords Granville an
nounced the decision Of the government In
speech, differing little from that OF Mr..
Gladstone.
The Duke OF Richmond defended the
conduct OF the leaders Of the opposition IN
the crisis. It had been asked II Disraeh
was not willing 10 undertake the task Of
forming Ministry. Why did he labor
10 put the Government 10 the minority In
the House OF Commons? He combated
the idea Of inconsistency, and eulogized
Disraeli, who, he declared, had increased
the luster Of his fame as statesman by
bis wise, patriotic and unselflSh action In
the present emergency.
Nj. Law, Chancellor Exchequor, will
present his annual budget about the 3rd
Of April. It will show revenue OF
SSs000O0 900, and expenditures, to the
amount probably, of 1855 100000.
Mr.. NoYes, an alleged confederate Of
the parties who committed the great for.
geries on tho Bank Of England, was up
before the Court for examination. The
witnesses for the bank gave their testi-
mony and the case was adjourned, the
prisoner being remSnded 70 NeWgate.
