rur IRISH TO GET INTO THE GALLERIES..
Tho rush TO get into the galleries was equal to
A.. struggle 10 enter the legislative chamber.

First Lord of the Admiralty. and Lord Rose6eiy,
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs both OF

the Peers gallery.
A. SIP William Vernon HarcOurt. Chancellor OF
,h. r,cbeoucr. and his wife were walking to
tho House through Parllament-st., they were
,sco0nized and almost mobbed by the cheering
admirers of Mr.. Gladstone and lis faithful lieu
tenants
An amusing incident occurred in the lobby OF
the House Extra police were summoned 70 re-
strain the throng of noblencn who were waiting
for the Peers Gallery to hc thrown open, III
cluded among these peers were the Earl oil Aper-
deem and Lord knutsford, well known Liberal
members of the Upper House The police formed
them into queue, and compelled them TO pre-
ssrve AZ least a semblancc OF order Lord Neagh
brought with him camp stool, winch some OF
his friends in vain sought to hire from him.
During the rush in the House John S. Wallace,
aIiberal and Colonel SaunderSon became involved
in a brisk squabblc, each accusing the other oil
stealing his seat. The argument waXed warm
and finally the two members seized each other by
thnS ola olc
others eyes, and continued their alteration.
Ultimately Colonel Saunderson withdrew his claim
70 the seat upon Mr. Wallace pledging his honor
that he had arrived first.
Mr.. GLADSTONE iCuEERED IN TIE STREETS.
Mr.. Gladstone, during all this turmoil, was not
in the House While il was going on he and
Mrs Gladstone left their official residence in
Downing-st A large crowd had long been wait
ing their appearance, and when Mrs. Gladstone

Justify chcered A broucham i'll waiting,
and through the cheering crowd Mrs. Gladstone
passed and entered the carriage. She was closely
followed by the Premier, who was greeted with
renewed and prolonged cheering. The aged states
man bowed right and left in response to the en-
thusastic sau'ation offered him, his face all the
while bcanlirg with pleasure. Entering the
brougham, lie and Mrs. Gladstone were at once
driven 10 the House.
Groups of people awaited along Pariament-st
the coming of the Prime Minister. As his CIR
rage passed he was chccred TO the echo. The
crowd outside the Palace Yard was smaller thar
that which gathered at the opening OF Parliament
but what il lacked in numbers 1t made M II

as Mr. Gladstone, bowling and smiling, cntercc
the Yard.
A. Of
at half-past o'clock Every Liberal and lrls
Natio9alist in the House stood up and greeted
him with prolonged and enthusiastic cheers. Whei
Mr. Gladstone rose at forty-thrce minutes pas
3 to introduce the Home Rule bill, there was an
other demonstration so earnest, so enthusiast
and irreprcssbe that it vas several minutes DC
fore he could be heard.
Mr. Gladstone spoke substantially as follows:

period Of 1856, when a proposition of this kint
was submitted on the part OF the Government o.

these measures. We said that we had arrived a

That is our contention. II will be the r"collcc

They went far beyond what had heretofore pcci
