An Interview With the Queen and the
Last Cabinet Meeting.

LoxDox, June 9.-The Cabinet Council
was convened at noon and wss in session
until Is oclock II is understood that
the situation was thoroughly discussed, and
ii was decided that in view Ofthe defeat last
night, on the budget, it wOald be inconsis-
tent for the members Of the Cabinet to re-
main longer in Office, and it was resolved
their designations be rendered to the Queen
at once.
Great surprise is expressed at the defeat
Of the Government. 1t was expected that
an effort would be made last night to pre-
vent the proposed increase Of the duties
upon beer and spirits, but there was noidea
that the opposition would oyerturn the CAB
iret. 1t seems 70 be regarded as extremely
doubtful whether the ministers could resign,
and leave unfinished so many important
matters relating to both home and foreign
affairs. Nothing more untoward than the
present could have occurred apparently.
Men Of all parties are of the opinion that
the Govern meut should at least remain pro-
visionaly, that is, until after the general
elections.
The Irish View.
The Freemans Journal, of Dublin, today
commenting on the budget says: The de-
feat is due to the action Cf the Psruelites in
refusing to uphold q cabinet from which
they received nothing but broken promises,
and from which Ireland could expect moth
ing but injustice, as was foreshadowed in
the attempt to again saddle upon Ireland
the iniuuitous provisions OF the Crimes act.
The result of the vote last night will cause
Earl Spencer and his Geutsnants in the
Castle to quit Ireland, leaving behind them
the memory of an administration which was
prominently noted for old-bloOded brutality
and frigid, calculating injustice. Earl
Spencer may receive q dukedom for his
misrule of Ireland, but it'would be well for
the Queen and Mr.. Gladstone to bear in
mind that it was the Lord Lieutensnts
hand that destroyed the greatest govern.
ment England has had during the last cen
tury. If it had not been for Earl Spencer's
misststements in regard to the condition OF
Ireland and his influence in the Cabinet,
Mr.. Gladstone would have sought the friend
ship of Mr.. Parnsll and his followers, in-
stead of provoking their hostility by such
arbitrary measures as the proposed renewal
of the Coercion bill
The ResignatiOns Announced.

The Applause Became an Ovation.
At last Mr.. Gladstone arose in Difference
to the greeting. He said the Cabinet on as
sembhng TO day thought they were under

ton to the Queen. Cheers. 1t would be
premature on his part to enter into paricu-
lars concerning the nature OF that commun-

that, as on former occasions, few days
must elapse before the result Of that COM
munication could be arrived at so as to be
