In House of Commons.
LONDON. May 10. The debate in the House of
Commons on Mr. Gladstone's resolutions, al
though it has lost great part of its interest bv
the modification of the original proposition, and
the statement of the governments policy made by
Mr.. Cross on Monday. has still been the chief p0-
liucal topic during the week. The Conservative
journals contend that the debate will become fu-
tile and not end in well considered opinion on
one side the other, but in a mere formal count
ing of heads a foregone conclusion. They ar
que that it is not des rabe to embarrass the gov
eminent at the present moment with any general
instructions, or with the proposal OF an alternative
policy. That all but few jealous partizans on
either side are anxious to avoid collision with Rus

were united in the determination to maintain
peace as long as possible.

of the moderate official wing of the liberal par
ty is very well represented by Goscheus' speech

utions on paper, but that necessity for . motion
of some kind was shown by the extravsgant
mors which were disturbing the public mind
