LONDON, August ls.-There 10 collision
between tho House OF Commons and th.
House OF Lords on the Land Bill, and the
political crisis Is serious. Tho House al
Lords met yesterday and insisted on rein.
serting their important amendments 10 the
bill that had been rejected by the House Of
Commons. Tho Marquis OF Salisbury
resumed bis remarks, and, in determined
attitude, be said their Lordships' obisctions
to the bill had not been met In 4 prons,
spirit; tha! the bill must bs submitted To
the Judgement OF tbs. country, and that
alone tho individual rights must be protect.
ed against tho violent invasion promoted
by temporary passion. Tho Marquis OF
Salisbury then laid bis reasons on tho table
a. protest thereafter. In the House Of
Commons Mr.. Gladstone announced that.
In consequence oi the action Of the House
Of Lords, the Land Bill could not be con.
sldered till Monday. This announcement
created q sensation. Il Ia believed that
the Dill will be Loaf. There are rumors oil
an autumn session OF Parliament.
In the House Of Commons last night,
Richie CONSERVATIVE moved an address
to the Grown praying the Queen to with.
hold consent from any commercial treaty
with France, which shall substitute
specific Tor advalorem duties 10 any way
injuring the British manufactures, and
which shall bind Epgland for more than
one year. This 10 Reconnaissance OF the
Conaer vative. .Protectionists, intended "a
prelude to demonstrations in the prov.
inces during recess OF Parliament,
Ritchie pointed out that FREQ trade had
made no progress abroad, and at home
there WAS growing feeling that much OF
the present depression in trade was owing
TO our commercial policy. Though he
held that Protection was no avail Tor our
manufacturers, he insisted that steps ought
to be taken to saya them IRON exclusion
from ioreiRn markets. ss.E;
Dixie, Under Foreign Secretary, opposed
the motion. but repeated that the Govern.
ment would not approve any treaty preju.

The Times, comnlautiny upon the action
OF the House OF Lord. on the Irish Bill,
ssysit hopes Lord Cairns, Lord Chancellor,
may not interfere with his aootbing in.
huence But it cnnfesses that the pros.
pect Ia very dark, and that a storm has
auddenly arisen which may have most
disastrous effect. ..l's,s .f}s so
Rev. Frederick W. Farrar, one of the
Canons Of the Westminster Abbey, and
author of the we'll known Life of Christ"
will probably succeed lhs late Stanley az
Dean OF Westminster.
The Pail Mau Gazttte this evening ssye:
The situation is serious; We might even
say dangerous, but thai II is difficult to
credit the reers with sufficient folly to
persist In preciDitation OF the constitu.
tional crisis. II they persist in resolute
hostility the whole work Of the session
will BE- sacrificed, Irelani will bs convulsed
With evil and war and aggression will be
started, all over the revision of the consti.
tuition, which will have stronger conse.
quences than thoy probably imagine.
Commenting on the remarks that
have been published. concerning the
lack OF signs OF popul.r indignt.
tion at the sc.ion OF the Lords,
the Pail Mall GaHLle concludes IS fol.
lows: As much as We dislike the recog.
nition OF monster meetings and torchlight
proceeaions as necessary adjunais to onr
Constitution and machinery, 1t is evident
that they only are check upon the Con.
eervanve peers. The time is short, but
long enough to enlighten Lord Salisbury
of the real public opinion, aud save the
peers from sucde. The moderate Con.
servatives cannot reuder better service to
the Constitution they desire to maintain
than by organizing demonstration.
