LONDON, May 12.--The Government has
again been defeated upon Ministerial mess-
ure under conditions which indicate q singular
degree Of characterization In the Liberal ranks.
mo House Is no longer under control and
there Is no prospect that tho public business Of
the session can be transacted In any reason
able time. The Conservatives are In high CLEO.
and are pursuing tactics that do not differ ma
terially from tho candid obstruction Of the
Home Rulers. The present state Of affairs IL
anomalous and without . precedent. Tho Gov
eminent has boon three times defeated, and
has reduced its largo majority In the House to
practical minority on all recent questions Of
importance. Its next defeat will probably be
on tho English Tenant Rights bill. on which 1t
IL disposed to insist In the face Of q large and
certain detection from among it's supporter
Two weeks Ego Mr.. Gladstone boosted at the
Liberal banquet Of an invincible following.
The decentralization that has since ensued n
simply ineIplicnble.
Tho general feeling seems to be that the So
cret societies In ireland have received death
blow through tho success OF the Crown in pros-
ecutnG the conspiracy casss. Tho entire press
Of Ireland concurs in its approval OF the result
and In expressing the hope that Irishmen will
hereafter DO deferred from tho insane and
criminal folly Of joining such organizations.
They join without any idea OF their purpose.
and in every instance the moving spirits have
been among the first to betray their dupes. Tho
conviction OF Kelly has produced q profound
sensation. and there seems to b q reyul-
sion OF feeling with regard to tho trials
and their Significance. The adherents of
Mr.. Parnell arc confident that . more
wholesome tone will be manifest in
the public mind. and = greater disposition TO
abide by the principles Of tho Parliamen tary
body. Joe Brady will be hanged on Monday
morning In the yard At Kilmainham. No ono
but the prison officials will be present. and
every precsution will DO taken to suppress any
attempt at a demonstration. There IL no eyi.
dence that any Ia intended. The testimonial
to Mr.. Parnell has reached $50. O0O and pro.
ceeds but slowly. but tho Poor Law Guardians
In the west Of Ireland are making vigorous
progress In their arrangements for the removal
TO America and the colonies Of tho starving
poor OF their districts. The unfortunate

old men and women Of 10 and 80. presented a

The various potsntates OF Europe and Asia
are slowly converRing to Moscow to participate
In the coronation festivities at the end Of
the month. Thore Is some abatement OF
the Nihilist rumors. but there will DO very
general confession OF relief whom It is all over.
1t is astonishing 10 find tho degree OF sympathy
with Nihilists that is felt by English Radicals.
They regard the project OF blowing up
the Car as being by no means wholly with
out merit They say that to an intelligent
people. life under the Russian bureaucratic
system Is intolerable. The nation 10 divided
between fatal apathy and desire for suicide.
Among the persons affected by the latter are
useful. The Duchess OF Edinburgh attended
for the hrst time performance OF " Los Dani-
chefs" on Wednesday. She became deeply In
terested as the play proceeded. and her feelings
were conspiouously apparent to the spectators
in the stalls. She leaves next week for Moscow to
attend her brothers coronation or OF piration.
Only $4,000 have been appropriated to pay tho
Duke of Edinburgh's expenses. and that thrifty
young man is In agony over tho prospective
outlay. The Duke de Morny spent quarter of
amillion on his excursion to tho last corona
ton and the present French Ambassador. NJ.
Washington. 10 spending money lavishly He
has secured several state carriages. which are
being Gilded and painted gorgeously; he has
borrowed lot OF horses and secured retinue
And he goes to Moscow with an ostentatious
pomp and paseantry that reflect small credit
on the republic.
Three million tons Of British shipping were
represented at the new Suoz Canal meeting on
Thursday. Tho character Of tho proceedings
was such as to leave little doubt that the enter
prise will be started at once. and 1t has the
support OF the entire mercantile interest The
French papers ore full OF hostility TO II.
In the libel suit Of the Duke OF vallambrosa
against Mr.. Labouchere. tho lattor has fled an
affidavit In which he admits. In effect, a. un-
true his charge that tho Dukes father supplied
the French army with dead soldiers as fresh
meat and bought title with tho profits. The
statement reached him. however. from q dis.
tingushed foreigner. who wrote for Truth, and
In whose statements he had implicit confidence.
He pleaded at the same time that tho Duke,
being foreigner and not particularly dlstin-
guished. had no right to tho redress he claim
ed, and that as tho libel was directed against
his dead father. and not against himself. an &C.
ton would not lie anyhow. The Court has re-
served Its decision. which IL regarded in both
this case and that Of the criminal information
against Edmund Yates as Of great Importance.
The International Fisheries Exhibition was
opened to-day In tho presence Of an immense
concourss Of wealth and fashion by tho Prince
Of Wales, almost all the royal family being
present except the Queen. whose mental dis
tress and physical ailments preclude her APP
pearance in public. Tho occasion was one Of
great brilliance. and the exhibition 10 In many
