p,s;ness in tbe House of Commons continues to
make slow progress. The obstructive alliance be-
tween the younger Tories Sir Drummond Woif'
Lords Hamilton and Churchill. and the lrishmen, Is
daily becoming more open. Since Lord Lahs-
downe's resignation the Government shows some
;rresoution about the Eviction bill, Withdrawing
from pledges as understood by Mr.. Parnell, and
offering concessions to the Wings. Further proof OF
the Whig discomfort is shown by Lord Harting

STORMY SCENES IN THE HOUSE.
Passionate controversies, scenes almost riotous,
occur nightly in Parliament. The House is fast
yvere never SO bitter and the decencies of debate
were never so frequently violated the truth being
that the House is now brought face to face with
series of questions no longer merely political, but
regarded, rightly or wrongly, by powerful classes
as vital to their existence. Numerous privileges
NOW assaulted have heretofore been reckoDed invio
liable. On the other hand the feeling among country
gentlemen is even stronger. The Government Is
constantly denounced for favoring spoliation or
eonfiscaton, because it is endeavoring to protect
Irish tenants against arbitrary landlords English
landlords foresee that their day is coming; hence
This violence, far exceeding anything in polit-
ical or even ecclesiastical matters. Mr. Gladstone
is daily d4nounced in London drawing-rooms as
feyolutionist and a Communist Threats are already
rife that no Government bill will be allowed to pass
in the House OF Lords. Society says that LORD
IJartipgtons resignation was only avered by Mr..
Cladstoucs pledge that the Irish b if rejected by
thc Lords would not BE- reintroduced in the House

affirm that they fully intend TO persist in refusing

count of tho extreme heat aud the approaching end
Of the season.
HOW DEAN STANLEY CANE TO BE REBCKED
The Government thoroughly deserved the defeat
.incurrcd last night on tue Napoleon memorial, by
nersisting in opposing Mr. Brggs's motion after
repeated warnings from private members and the
known determination of its own supporters to pro-
test at all hazards against the proposed dissertation
OF Westminster Abbey The meeting at st. James's
Hail on Thursday gave Mr.. Gladstone full warning.
Had Others been wanting The tone of the provincial
iurnas. the protests of the Liberal associations,
the Indignation meetings held all over the country,
the incessaut private appeals addressed TO members
of the Government and other members of the House,
clearly indicated tie state of public opinion.
London journals as is often the case, gave
no measure of the extent and inten-
,jty Of the Indignant feeling Throughout
England against Dean Stanley's scheme. The
feeling of hostility against this Bonaparte monu-
ment. Notwithstanding tho protracted delay, con-
tmued TO the last indignant and passionate ana
contemptuous of merely political considerations.
On the other hand il IS believed that influences
were brought TO bear on the Cabinet 10 prevent
Ministers from supporting Mr. Briggs's motion.
Mr. Gladstone affirmed that Dean StaIley's original
decision to admit the monument was not due to Royal
pressure but he omitted TO say whether such pres
sure was exered TO induce the Dean to adhere to bis
purpose after it was assaied He omitted also to say
whether Royal influence addressed to himself d.
recty indirectly. was not used TO persuade the
Government to assume neutral attitude but neu-
traity never satisfies Mr.. Gladstone. He resolved
TO oppose the motion when convinced that it was
untimely to reopen the question. Doubtless the
extreme violence shown by some opponents, es-
pecialy the acrimonious speeches at the meeting on
Thursday, strengthened his purpose but his oppo-
nents, however injudicious, had behind them the
overpowering good sense Of the country and sound
popular instinct. Liberals to-day deplore Mr.
'iadsone's mistake, saying that this Is
the second time the House has rejected its lead
ers counsel. Though the question was non-potical,
'ne result impairs the rlghtful authority Of the
ffemier. Dean Stanley was present during the de-
Dste Fifteen members of the Government voted
with the minority on the first motion. The whole
treasury bench walked out OF the House amid de-
i@ve cheers before the vote on the main question

a'ori'y incuCeng Mr. Beresford Hope, who hates
'eAn Stanley more than he loves the Napoleons.
