 LONDON, Dec. 13.-The Cabinet is still iA session, and the widest rumors are flying about as to what is being said and done. The clubs this evening are full of members ex- citedly discussing the various stories as they
 come fn, and the last one is more sensational
 than it's predecessor. Lord Beaconsfeld's stay
 of two days at Windsor Castle forms topic
 naturally suggested by the condition of af-
 fairs. It is said he did not go down to Wind
 sor for the mere purpose of obtaining the royal opinion of his last novel, but that some thing of a political character is yelled be- meath the apparent social character of his visit. The Interpretation popularly pat upon it is that the Queen is disgusted at the failure of the present Liberal administration to give peace and prosperity to the kingdom, and that she1s ready to ''send for" the ex-Premier officially as soon as he shall have played his cards as to bring about the overthrow of Mr. Gladstone and his party. Speculation further runs that when Lord Beaconsfeld again obtains power he will be prepared to give Ireland all she wants, and will educate his party to agree with him in doing so. Af- ter the manner in which he brought about the passage of the household suffrage act, greatsur- prise is felt over MT. Forster's position in re- gard to using the military force in Ireland, and the belief is general that no greater mis- take can be committed by the government than to adopt it. The prolongation of the Cabinet session to-day gives rise to profound anxiety, and is understood to mean the exist ence of dissensions that may easily lead to present trouble and the defeat of Mir. Glad stone when Parliament assemblies owing to his probable inability to frame bill which will satisfy Ireland and England. The result of the debate in the Cabinet is awaited with great soicitude.
 The Cabinet meeting has just ended, after protracted and intensely exciting session of five hours. After the other members had separated Earl Spencer, lord president of the council, and MT. Forster remained closeted long time, giving rise to the impression that the coereive policy urged by Forster for Ire land had been adopted. There are rumors in circulation that MT. Bright, chancellor for the duchy of Lancashire, has resigned and left the Cabinet on account of dissatisfaction with the way in which matters are drifting in the government.
 The Cabinet will meet again this afternoon. The government is favorably considering system of grand committees as a means of relieving the pressure of business in the House of Commons.
 DUBLIN, Dec. 13.-Forty eight of the Par nell jury were struck to-day Thirty nine of them are shopkeepers.
 It was decided that Parliament should meet on the 9th of January, when, if matters in Ireland were unimproved, the government would introduce the most vigorous and coer- cive measures, including the suspension of the habeas corpus.
