desiring their attendance in Parliament for
important business, says: Business of the

ticles, commenting on the circular, says: 1t
effectually disposes of the rumors which had
begun to circulate, that Parliament would,
after all, bs summoned before Christmas,
and of other rumors put forward with sem
blance Of authority. that the Government
would be compelled, in consequence of the
division among the Ministers, to content itself
with declaratory resolution on the Irish
question, instead Of proceeding by bill. The
Daily NeqcS adds: At the same time most
persons will read Gladstone's circular with a
distinct sense of relief 1t is one thing to feel
morally certain that important business will
be entered upon at once. It is another thing
to be informed of the fact by Prime Minis
ter.
