Serious Disturbance in London.

LONDON, May 10th.-There was a serious
| disturbance III the vicinity of Tottenham
| Court road about midnight Saturday. Four
or five men, who had been elected from the
| European Club, raised a crV that they had
| been swindled and assaulted in the club
house, and mob of roughs quickly col
! lected and smashed in the windows of the
building \ force of police arrived. and
| while some surrounded the building others
proceeded to search the premises. The
police failed to find the alleged gamblers,
and jumping 10 the conclusion that they
had escaped TO a neighboring Social Demo-
cratic Club the police fastened thithcr and
forced open the doors While
the police were searching the
upper floors Of this building the mob
smashed in the windows below and looted
the Tefreshment bar in the basement,
taking liquors, cigars and Overcoats and
umbrellas belonging to members of the
club. The members, among whom were
Socialists of all nationalities, resented the
intrusion of the police, asserting that there
had been no gambling in the club. \ free
fight with the police ensued, many of the
members being badly injured. Fifty
of them were arrested and were
arraigned this morning, when all
bat six were liberated after their
wounds had been dressed. No gamblers
were found. The six men detained will be
charged with hindering the police in the
discharge of their duty. 1t turned out
later that the men elected from the Euro
pean Club were desperadoeS, who had
forced their way into the Club, and when
elected they raised a row The European
is simply social club.
The Political Excitement in London.
10 .
the political clubs Is at fever heat to-nieh
and the whips of both parties are making
most strenuous efforts to bring out their
respective strength, in view of the gantlet
of hostile motions which must be run by
the Government this week. The firstto be
encountered is a melton of censure on ac-
count of the wretched bungling of the Sou
dan business. This, although moved by Sir
5. Northcote, is really q motion of Lord
George Hamilton, and is 10 be debated to-
morrow. 1t is remembered that the Gov
eminent only escaped defeat last year on
similar motion by the slender majority of
fourteen, and many counts have since
been added to the indictment. Next
comes Tuesdays amendment of Sir
l.. Massey Lopes, providing that
be charged to the Treasury instead of
to local rates. If the Government
survive these shocks, it will have to face a
bitter attack led by Sir Michael Bass, in
the interest of the beer and spirit trade,
and in opposition to the increased duties
provided by the Budget. If the Ministers
encounter n signal defeat on any one of
these measures, they Will Immediately dis
solve Parliament.
The Irish Liberals and the Government.
LONDON, May 1oth-The Nc,os says it
is believed that the Irish Liberals who sup
ported the Government on the 9th inst. in
defeating the Conservative amendment TO
the English registration voters bill,
which provides that the cost of registration
should be charged TO the Treasury instead
of local rates, have decided to vote against
the Government tomorrow on Sir Massey
Lopes' motion to insert clause providing
that the expenses of registration be
charged to the Treasury. The Gov
ernment considers the matter of vital
importance, and if the motion is
carried the result may be very grave
Parnell has issued a strong whip to his
followers to be present at the division on
this motion. 1t is estimated that he will
be able to throw five more votes against the
Government than on the 9th instant, when
the result was 240 to 2S7. The grievance of
