GLADSTONE READY TO STEP DOWN Friday-A Stormy Meeting of the Cabinet-The Tories Not Anxious to Take Control.
 LONDON, June 9.-The attendance at the opening of the House of Commons this af- that the ministry had resigned had been cir culated pretty thoroughly throughout the
 metropolis, and great crowds of people sur rounded the entrances to the Parliament buildings eager to catch a glimpse of the ministers when they should enter or to hea1 any report bearing upon impending events.
 It was generally understood before the meet
 ing of the House that MT. Gladstone would
 move to it's adjournment until Friday in order to allow the government to communi-
 cate with the Queen concerning the crisis
 and the wisest method of meeting it. The
 members of the Commons before the prayer
 stood about in the Hobbies eagerly discussing
 the situation. It was known that the Cabi-
 net had been in session for a, hour and a
 half, and that the meeting had been stormy
 one. It was further currently reported that
 after numerous accusations and recrimina-
 tions it was unanimously agreed that
 no alternative remained but to
 resign, and that in consequence
 the members of the Cabinet individually
 rendered their resignations to the Premier
 who was to tender them together with his own, to the Queen, Mir. Gladstone, a few
 minutes after o'clock, entered the House of
 Commons. His appearance was that of a
 firm man, perfectly undisturbed. He at once proceeded to the Speakers desk and en- tered into conversation with MT. Peel. Dur 4L1 II
 dently in bright spirits, and he was loudly cheered by the Radical members of the
 House. When he seated himself in his usual place his very selfpossession seemed to enthuse his admirers and the chamber was fairly rent with cheer after cheer, and the applause became an ovation. At last MT. Gladstone arose in deference to the greeting. He said the Cabinet on assembling to-day thought they were under obligations to sub init dutiful communication to the Queen. (Cheers.) It would be premature on his part to enter into particulars concerning the na- ture of that communication just now. He would say, however, that as on former oc- casions few days must elapse before the result of that communication could be arrived at so as to be made known to the House. During the interval, MT. Gladstone added, the House would follow it's usual custom in refraining from the transac- tion of it's ordinary business and he would move that the House on rising do adjourn until Friday. The motion was carried and the House accordingly adjourned. A simi- lar motion was made in the House of Lords by Earl Granville, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and adopted. This action is believed to be one of the results of to-day's Cabinet meeting and is said to have been taken for the purpose of allowing the mem bers of the Cabinet time for perfecting ar rangements for vacating their respective of fees and a0nfarrino 1xith o1S with regard to their resignations.
 Prominent Tory leaders have caused it to be understood that the Tories will undertake the administration of the government if the Queen requests it, otherwise they prefer that the present ministry shall remain in office and clean up it's own dirt.
 The Standard (Tory organ) insists upon the formation of Cabinet by the Tories should MT. Gladstone persist in his purpose of res ignation. ''The Tories" it says, Twill not shrink, no matter how fearful the legacy be- queathed by the Gladstone government
 DUBLIN, June 9.-The Freeman's Journal to-day commenting on the defeat of the government last night on the budget says: ''The defeat is due to the action of the Par nellites in refusing to uphold a Cabinet from which they receive nothing but broken promises and from which Ireland could expect nothing but injustice, as was foreshadowed in the proposed attempt to. sduulo upon 1r0IAuO IQ0 lnlQu pro visions of the crimes act. The result of the vote last night will cause Earl Spencer and his ieutenants at the Castle to quit Ireland, ing behind them the memory of ad- ministration which was pre-eminently noted for cold-b -blooded brutality and frigid, ealcu- lating injustice. Earl Spencer may receive 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 Lieutenant's hand that destroyed the greatest government England has had during the last century. If it had not been for Earl Spencer's misstatements in regard to the condition of Ireland and his influence in the Cabinet, MT. Gladstone would have sought the friendship of MT. Parnen and his followers instead of provoking their hostility by such arbitrary measures as the proposed renewal of the coercion bill"
 LONDON, June 10.-This mornings papers devote considerable space ito discussion of the Cabinet situation, but venture no pre- dictions as to its final settlement. The Standard says that MT. Gladstone proceeded to Balmoral yesterday evening for the pur- pose of placing his resignation in the hands of the Queen. Several newspaper represen- tatives watched the departure of the Scotch mail, but saw nothing of the Premier.
