Nh. Gladstones's Srccch

LONDON, Feb 13.-Tbc lobby of tie
House of Commons was packed with
members and the approaches crowd
ed, and when the doors open
ed there was disorderly rush
for seats, the members shouting
and struggling like mob of excursion
lists The veteran Caleb Wright, liber-
al NJ. P. for Southwest Lancashire, who
is 50 years of age, was unable TO hold
his own in the crush, and fell down in
the doorway. Others weae pushed
upon him by the needless throng, and
he was trampled upon more than once
before he was rescued. When Mr.
Gladstone entered the House every
liberal and Irish nationalist stood up
and greeted him with prolonged cheers
and when he arose 10 present the home
rule bill there was another demonstra-
ton. In his speech he asked, "What
has become of each and all of those i'm
portant schemes for giving Ireland
self government in provinces, and Civ
ing her even central establishment in
Dublin with limited powers? All van
ished into thin air. The roads were
still the autonomy of coercion" 1t was,
he said, impossible to bring the inhabi-
tants of the country under coercion in
to sympathy with the coercion power.
Mr.. Gladstone proceeded to dilate at
length upon the circumstances under
which the act of Union was passed, the
promise of equality in the laws, and of
commercial equality under which union
was effected. 1t was prophesied conf
IDENTIFY that Irishmen would take their
places in the Cabinet of the United
Kingdom, but it had been his honored
destiny to sit in Cabinets with no less
than sixty to seventy statesmen of
whom only one, the Duke of Yelling
ton, was an Irishman, while Castle
reagh was the only other Irishman who
had sat in the Cabinet since Union.
Mr. Gladstone spoke for two hours aud
was loudly applauded.

PORTRAIT OF WASHINGToN.-An
original portrait of General Washing
ton, ofthc existence OF which very few
persons have known. is in the posses
sion Of Mr.. James A. Pcarce, of Ches-
tertown, Md. to whom it descended
from his father, James Alfred Pearce.
Though not the work of professional
artist, the originality of this painting
is fully authenticated, and it is pro-
nounced by some competent judges to
be admirably executed and to afford
intrinsic evidence of an intimate
knowledge of Washington by the artist
and of his skill in the dchneat;on of
features and expression 1t was paint
ed by DR.. Elisha Cullen Dick, of this
city, who was close personal friend
of Washington, was associated with
him in membership in Alexandria
Lodge. No. -, of AIasons, and was
one of the attending physicians
at the time of his death. The date OF
the work is not certainly known, but
the fact that it was painted by DR.
Dick from life was stated by him to hi:
grandson, the late Senator Pearce, who
was, during his boyhood, member Of
DR.. Dicks family in this city while at
tending an academy here preparatory
TO entering Princeton College. This
portrait is Il full profile.
