THE CRISIS IN ENGLAND.
Salisbury-s Government Defeated.

oVERTHRowN by A CONDENSATION OF LIBERALS
AND PARSELLTTES.
In the house of commons last night, as fore
Swallowed i'm THE STARS special cable of yes
terday, the Salisbury government was defeated
on Mr.. Jesse Ceilings amendment To the ad-
dress on the subject of land allotments. Mr..
Gladstone strongly supported Mr.. Ceilings
amendment, aud the Marquis of Harrington
opposed it, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach said that
the government would willingly accept the de-
cision OF the house, as they had assumed office
with reluctance ana would resign without re-
greet. The amendment was adopted by vote
of 500 to $50, and the government was de-
feated. The Irish members received the result
With cheers 4,, The house then adjourned 70

AFTER THE DEFEAT.
A London special To the y. Y. Herald says:
Not even James Buchanan at Lincoln's inau-
guration looked more pitiable than did Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach when moving the adjourn
menL on the defeat. Like Buchanans cabinet,
the SALISBURY one haa ,hrowh away great op-
disquieting national question. The despised
" Hodge" has upset the tory cabinet OF lsso as
the despised "aboitionist" OF 1861 upset
Toombs and company. The cheers OF the Irish
members and their handshakings in the lobby
were memorials incidents. The three Joes-
for an Irish Jig, double shuttle or a clog dance
atop OF the ministry. The scenes in the COM
MONS from the peers gallery, through the
lobby and the corridors where stoiid police
men stood, are to be Imagined rather than de-
scribed.
Extra editions of all the morning papers have
been ordered, and Mr.. w. IL. Smith, with two
days service as the Irish pacificator, and who
Ireland only yesterday, has realrned in time TO
find his mammoth news company preparing To
distribute these journals: When he came TO
read his favorite Post his eyes doubles ling
cred over this paragraph:
THE IRISH VOTE.
"This result was brought about by The Irish
who vote solid against the governmel L." The
Post. in its vexation, calls MIR. Co iings AN
the Irish the victory acknowledged by the Post,
and this in face OF that while the majority was

Telegraph dubs the outgoing ministry as "short
lived, honorable and public spirited, and adds,
"Mr Gladstone will not shrink from the oner-
Gus enterprise OF framing another administra-
tion."
1.-THE coMMoNwEALTH's PERIL"
The Tunes ascribes the defeat to the hesita-
tions and delays OF the cabinet and claims that
il goes out needlessly on a side issue. 1t says
Mr.. Gladstone will have to reckon with the
country and that IL l. certain his parliament

the duty OF all who regard patriotism more
than party attachments. to maintain
hinching resistance 10 the measures az such a
government as that now threatened and 10
wage war against IL till the commonwealth has
been delivered from a peril greater q an any
that fmpended over England for upward vi
seventy years.
TRIUMPH AND GLOOM.
The Nctos double leads it's leader, headed:
"Out in Day." IL is a pecan OF triumph not
phrased fn very diguihed language. The
Stdndard says "The political outlook is gloomy
In the extreme. Either England and Ireland
will be torn apart, or We shall witness a sue
cesson ofshortlived administrations and q con-
seQuent weakening OF action OF the executive,
both at home and abroad; and q shock 70 rep
resentative Institutions that will leave Its traces
for many days."
