LONDON, August LIN the house of com
mons to-day, Robert Lowe, a liberal, resumed
the debate on Lord Harrington resolution
accusing the government of acting falsehood
Sir Stafford Northcote, chancellor OF the ex'
chequer, rose to "A point of order, claiming
that the language of Lowe was unparlla'
meUtary The speaker ruled that as the re-
mark was not applied to member OF the
government it was in order. Lowe then re-
peated mis- statement, when the speaker
ruled it out of order, as being APP
lied to members of the government.
Lowe then Withdrew the expression. He
then assalled the abuse of the crown s treaty
making power. The prerogative-say, anti
quated prerogatiye-has been drawn from Its
rusty scabbard, and used without the knowl-
edge or consent of the people. The govern
ment had done their utmost to drag the royal
party into collision with the people, but it
was Impossible that Englshmen could be con-
tent to leave the exercise of royal prerogatlves
in the present position. Mr.. Lowes's remarks
were greeted with loud cheers from the lib
eral benches.
Lord John Manners, postmaster general,
defended the government, and Chamberlain
(radical) attacked them, dwelling on their
extravaganza.
The debate was continued on the party line
by Hon. sSir John Hay, Stavely Hill, Mr..
Holmes, Edward Knatchull, Hugessen,
Samuel LANG and Sir John Lubbock, who
pointed out that the Anglo-Turkish eonven-
ton inevitably committed the country to an
eventual war with Russia. The debate was
then adjourned.

LORD SALISBURY.
lord S,lisbury, in receiving the deputation
of the southeast Lancashire conservatives,
who congratulated him on the success of his
mission to Berlin and invited him to Man
chester, said he did not object to having the
governments policy submitted to a searching
criticism, but complained that while their
policy was submitted to a hostile and acri
monious criticism, the house of commons pro-
tocols, which record the work of the plenipo
tentiarles, passed the house of lords without
comment, so that the plenipotentlaries have no
opportunity to explain them, though they
alone are able to do so infinitely.

FIELD.

Won, attacking Lord Beaconsfield asked ex-
plantations of the latter's remarks regarding

said if Lord Beacons6eld meant to say that he
(CarnarvOn), at a moment of difficulty and
danger, fnched from WI It he had pledged
himself TO do, he must absolutely deny such
a statement.

that Lord Carnarvon assented to the policy
In the circular stating that the
question of the possession Of Constantinople
involved British interests, and that the Rus
SLAMS were approaching there, and that Lord
Carnarvon did concur in ordering up the
British fleet. The subject then dropped.
THE LONDON TIMEs's ATTACK ON GLAD
STONE.
LONDON, August 1.-The Times vehe-
mently attacks Gladstone this morning, and
says of his speech: The house of commons
listens with bated breath for his contribution
phetic glimpse into the future. He speaks
two hours and half and occupies seven col |
lmns of our space: he carries his hearers ir-
down the torrent of brilliant ora
tory, but when all is over, and we have time
to breathe, to what does it all amount? With |
few exceptions to nothing but prolonged |
nvective against the present ministry |
Scarcely anything they have done or said es-
capes denunciation. They have preferred SER
vitude to freedom; have pretended to defend |
public law, and have really betrayed it; have |
made mad conventions, violated exist |
ing treaties, brought into question our |
privileges and rights, and have assumed to |
0pOS6 IL Vi luelT OWL,
ing US abroad and weakened us at home |
But who are these plenipotentiaries whom he |
1enounces with this mercenary, unrelieved |
eensure? They are not merely Lords Bea- |
consfield and Salisbury. They are the rep |
resentatlves of England before Europe and |
the world. Then the work, when ratified, is |
the work of England. They have not usurped |
power over an unwilling people. Gladstone |
himself admits that they command the APP |
nj
There are other persons in the world besides |
Beaconsheld, and larger questions at stake |
han that of the conduct of the ministry in |
he details of the prolonged negotiations. |
We regret to say it, but the whole tenor of |
Gladstone speech, as much as by what 1t |
as by what 1t omitted, was incon
;istent with craftsmanship or generous patri- |
otism, and he must proportionately forfeit |
ais claim to the attention of his countrymen |
On this great ISSUE
The chancellor of the exchequer, replying |
10 the inquiry of Mr.. Ashley, liberal, virtual |
y admitted that another secret document was |
signed on the thirtieth of May besides the |
Anglo Russian agreement. The chancellor |
merely denied that anything was signed in |
regard to Greece.
