MONUMENT TO THE PRINCE IMPERIAL.
LONDON, July 17.-In the house of COM
mons last night the motion of Briggs rela-
tive to the erection of statue to the late
prince imperial in Westminster Abbey, was
amended by emitting the words: "And it
is calculated to impair good feeling between
England and France and as amended the
motion was carried by a vote of Is to 116.
Gladstone and others disclaimed court infla-
ence which Mr.. Briggs had limited in moving
his resolutions. John d. Hutchinson, radi-
cal member for Halifax, declared that the
Queens assent to the project had been
given reluctantly. Gladstone said that
although the pferogative of the crown re-
garding burials in Westminster Abbey is ab-
solute, there is no disposition in any quarter
to trespass in any way upon the province of
the house in this matter. think, however,
the house would do well to avoid interfer-
ence. When the question on the motion as
amended was about to be put, Gladstone,
Sir VIM. Harcourt, home secretary, and
other members of the government, left the
house.
The Times, in an editorial on the above
incident, says: "We trust the whole contro-
versy is now ended and that last nights YER
dict will be accepted as final. 1t was un-
wise to originate the scheme, and it would
be more unwise now to revive it."
PARLIAMENT.
The opening Of a whig .'cavs" in oppo-
sition to the disturbance in Ireland bilI''
was the chief topic Of discussion in political
circles yesterday, the opponents of the gov
ernment regarding it as serious break in
the party and the supporters of the govern
ment making light of it, declaring that it
had no backing in the country and that the
divisions in the Commons showed the po-
sition of the government to be growing
stronger instead of weaker. The whig meet.
ing seems to be less important than was at
first believed. A number of gentlemen met
Thursday OF Lord Fitzwilltam's house and
after brief conversation adjourned to the
House of Common where a large meeting
took place. 1t had not resolved to commu-
nicate with CASTOR, as has been stated. No
formal resolution was taken and some of
those who attended the caucus afterwards
| were in favor of the government in divisions
on the bill. The progress of legislation has
been very slow this week and members are
alIeady arranging pairs for the rest of the
session.

DISASTROUS WEATHER.
The weather throughout the west has been
unusually adverse to business and agricul-
ture, and in some parts of the country even
disastrous. II is still hot and sultry with
frequent thunder storms. Parts of Leices-
tershire, Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire, Glou-
cestershire and Berkshire are submerged by
the overflow of rivers, railway traffic is inn
peded, and crops, especially hay, are ruined.
Some lives have been lost by the floods. In
