of the newly appointed French minister to
 the court of St. James, M. Challemel La
 Cour arose, to put this question. Mir. Glad
 stone, who was evidently in state of high
 excitement, arose and moved that Mir. O'Don-
 nell should not be permitted to ask his ques-
 tion because, by proposing it. he had out rageously attacked the new French ambassa- dor. This proposition threw the House into a state of violent excitement, and an uncom- monly lively debate followed. Gladstone, it is believed, fears that the embarrassment likely to ensue from the question of MT. O'Donnen may seriously interfere with the commercial negotiations he is now conduct ing with France and perhaps prevent him from carrying through his proposed budget. The Conservatives are delighted with the row and are doing all in their power to help 1t along. The appointment of M. La Cour is understood to have been dictated by M Gam betta and reluctantly consented to by the French Cabinet. With M. Gambetta Mir. O'Donnen has an old grudge, and this has probably had something to do with the ques- tion.
 MT. Gladstone's motion caused many vio- lent scenes unexampled in the history of the House of Commons. Lord Harrington re- buked Mir. O'DonnelPs insolence and the Conservatives apparent sympathy herewith. EOTSG0T 1nt0uSS1y cACltSO buS 11OuS0 Dy describing Mir. O'Donnelrs attack on the French ambassador as an outrage on the de- cencies of society. Mir. O'Donnen passion ately protested against Mir Forster's remarks and ultimately the Speaker ruled the expres sions out of order, and Mir. Forster withdrew them. Lord Hartington's and MT. Forster's speeches warmly defended the Premier's right of interference in debate, which senti- ments the Irish members repeatedly met with cries of Cesarism, despotism, etc.
 ARituaIist Leader Coming.
 LONDON, June 14.-It is given out that Rev. Dr. Mackonchie, late rector of St. Albans, Holborn, and one of the chief leaders of the ritualistic movement in England, is about to visit America It will be remembered that for long series of years MT. Mackonchie has carried on war against the Court of Arches and other ecclesiastical or standardization bodies of the kingdom, before which he was summoned to answer for violations of the laws of the land regulating the ritual of the Established Church. MT. Mackonchie has in this contest displayed the utmost contempt for the courts, refusing to appear before them when summoned, and allowing judg- ments against him to be entered by default, but always until lately obtaining through his counsel some advantage by which the judg- ments were made practically imperative. Fi- nally, under the operation of the public wor- ship regulation bill, he was driven to the wall and at his last trial he was convicted of unlawful usages' and inhibited for three years The Church of St. A1bans is very large and handsome structure situated in one of the most densely populated regions of Ho1born. It is an exact imitation of a Roman Catholic church except that there is no tab ernacle on the altar. Morning services, and they are called masses are just as they are in Roman Catholic churches Attached to the church is a residence where Mackonchie with his assistant priests, who are all ce1ibates i live in community as do Catholic priests.
