LONDov, August t2.-The Cabine. having
met ct noon to-day and resolved to reslgn.
in accordance with a vote OK Parliament,
Lord Salisbury proceeded to Osborne this
evening to lay before Her Majesty tho resig-
nation ot himself and his colleagues.
1t is reported to-day that General Pom
sonby. secretary 20 the Queen, IS bringing
Her Msjssty's command to Mr.. Gladstone
to form a new government. in order to save
Mr. Gladstone the fatigue Of a journey to
Osborne.
The st. James Gazette (Conseryative)
saws: "The Government is elected by
majority simply going It blind for the Grand
Old Man and half understood idea"
The Post says "A sight more earnest or
impressive than yesterday scene Ia tarlla-
meut has rarely been witnessed within the
walls OF ST. Stephens. Although defeated
the Unionsts will reassemble undiminished
in numbers ana unfsilinR in resolution.
Mr.. Gladstone will have to deal with tine
strongest and most united majority that
ever assembled in Parliament"
rhe Telegraph says: The Gladstonians
silence in the debate is an unabashed con
fession that their alliance With the irish IS a
sham aud an impOsture."
The Freemans Journal. after remarking
that the majority against the Salisbury
government is ten more than that which
rejected home rule, says IL IS more tnan
the reversal OF the decision which handed
Ireland over to the rule OF coercionists.
The effect of the verdict cnn never DO IN
done. No obstruction from the peers, no
ventilation of constitutional cOnundrum5
can ever destroy the moral or practical ef-
feet of the condemnation of the union by
the Parliament which set the act of union
up. Pitts work must be amendsd,'
The Times says: 1T is a party victory.
won on party grounds and to DO employed
for party objects. No Government that has
remained in Office for six years has enjoyed
the same measure OF success as the Govern
ment Just defeated. Blunders and dis
asters there are none TO lay 70 the charge
of the Unionst ministry. so comes TO an
end ministry which has performed WORK
the value Of which has not been destroyed
by the temporary triumph OF a system OF
pandering 20 the greed and passion Of the
masses that outdoes the most eXtrayagant
flights OF aristopcratnio satire
The Standard (Conservatiye) says: In
the face of challenges. from which nobody
or statesmen with the smallest sense OF dig
nifty would venture TO finch, the Gladsto-
mans have sat. uneasily, IL Is true. but Still
with closed lips Sir Henry james drove
nome the taunts with which Mr.. Chamber
lain had already stung them. The victims
sat and tried TO smile. They consoled them
selves by thinking that the portfolios would
reward them for the moral torture they had
10 endure. IL is the hopelessness OF keep
ing the Irish members ia temper that must
weigh most upon Mr. Gladstone's spirit.
They voted last against MIR. Balfour, but 1t
may be the only occasion on which they
will enter the same lobby with Nh Baliour
seccessor."

would be idle to ignore the fact that al;
majority is heterogeneous.
