OUR CABLE LETTER.
a Cbntty Review OF ola world
Affairs aud English Politics,

London, June 6.-No progress has
been made during the past week in
allaying the dissension in the British
cabinet and the government remains
on the verge of disruption. Mr..
Chalmers is ambitious to become an
English premier and Sir Charles
Dixie, inatcly radical, still stubbornly
refuses TO assent to Mr.. Gladstone's
announced policy of renewing the
irish Grimes acts. II is true that the
Grand Old man" yesterday retreated
from his original position on the ques-
ton far enough to admit that the
government now means only to renew
the bill in modified form, but the
rebels in the cabinet insist that there
exists in Ireland to-day no reasons
and no prospect of any reason for a
renewal of the act in any form. While
neither Mr.. Chamberlain nor Sir
Chas. Dixie have personally stated in
public that they will resign from the
cabinet ifthe premier persists, In his
renewal policy, still it is generally un-
derstood that both have actually
agreed to do so and it is not believed
that the modified policy annouccd
yesterday by the prime minister has
in any way altered their threats.
The quarrel in the cabinet, IN fact
extended to other matters. The radi.
cal ministers rejust as much opposed
to the plan of the electoral campaign
formulated for the coming election by
the Wing members as they are to the
renewal of the Irish Crimes act
The number of ministerial rebels on
this point is larger even than that ar.
rayedagainst renewal. Mr.. Chamber.

chancellorship of the Duchy of Ian.
caster and Mr.. G.J. Shaw LeFeverc-
successor to the great Fawcett as postl
master-general, all insist on Il radical
platform. These gentlemen agree
that the principal plankS in the liberal
platform should be;
|. Reform in the constitution Of the
house oflords by reducing the num-
Der of hereditary peers and increasing
the number of life titles;
2. A reform of the law of entail
which will work towards division
rather than to concentration of land
titles.
3. General reform in the land laws
of Great Britain to the end that the
numbers of holdings in fee may be in
creased and titles to land be more
easily obtained.
4. For ireland the widest possible
measure OF self-govcrnmcnt consis.
tent with the unity of the British en-
pire.
.. Public denominational education
on the principles accepted by the lrisl
party.
The wing faction in the cabinet re
fuse to adopt any of these five princi
pies in the platform of the liberia
party for the coming campaign, anC
hence the party will enter the canvass
weak from lack of cohesion. On thil
account it is more than probable tina
Mr.. Gladstone will be induced to re
main in politics and power for thu
purpose of personally conducting thu
campaign for his party The libeial
have no other man up yet for thu
task.
