MONDAY. THE DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER BILL CARRIED. Imp ortant tail was the business in the Lower HOUR% Lord Dalhonsie's debate on the Deceased Wife's Sister Bill shifted the centre of gravity to-night to the House of Lords. The Prince of Wales and the Dukes of Albany and Connaught were there to support the Bill. Twentyone prelates met to oppose it. The Princess of Welles end her tole sons sat in the Royal gallery. Lord Dalhousie m ode no prolonged speech, though he had prepared one. Fre offered a few observations and reserved his speech till later, but toward the close the House was to impatient to RO to dinner that he did not again present himself. Lord Cairns led the opposition on familiar ground'', and woe presently followed by the Primate in a sooech neither brilliant nor novel, but in effect a protest against the coming decision of the House. The Lord Chief Justice joined the bishops in opposing the Bill, but the HOWE) would listen no longer when at quarter to eight, the Bishop of Rochester rose. The division was 161 for and 158 against the Bill. Among the majority were various members of the Ministry. while in the 1 minority were the Lord Chancellor and Duke of Argyle. In the Commons the expectation of important politicalbusinees had brought together a large and eager concourse of members. So much restleeness in the House is not often open as lasted throughout the long list of questions. Upstairs, in the peers' gallery, was Lord Hifferin ; downstairs. the Premier' Sir Charles Dilke. and Lord E Ira ond Fitzmaurice agitated with the question of the night ; while on the other side of the house Lord R. Churchill twirled his moustache, consulted by fits and starts with his lieutenants, or plunged into the mass of documents with which he was furnished. On this night twelvemonth at six o'clock Suleiman Sarni was in Alexandria at the head of his troops tardily quelling the murderous riots which had lasted all the afternoon. To-night the House of Commons was called upon to investigate the circumstances under which Suleiman was on Saturday last hanged amid the ruins of the city he WAR instrumental in destroying. Lord Randolph Churchill raised the question ; and it presently appeared that be was acting in cmcert with his putative leader, who gave all possible encouragement to the discussion. Lord Randolph Churchill's request, which was thrown into the form of a speech, related to the alderation that it was the Khedive who caused the massacres and conflagration. Mr. Gladstone renewed his challenge to the noble lord to formulate his charge against the Khedive. and then diverged to speak at length of Suleiman Semi's guilt and execution. He read Sir Elward MeleFs telearaphed statement, and then pmdeced a voluminous letter from Lord Dofferin. Hie lordship denied in the moistest way that a tittle of evidence hail ever came to his knowledge which authorised the allegation that the Khelive was responsible for the crimes at Alexandria. He stigmatised them as calumnious fabrications. There was no denial of iesfoomnatten no the part of the Government, and Sir Stafford N orthcote did not seek that pretext. He Pimply move i the adjournment of the Hussein order that further inforrnetion m ght he given. Such information as Lard E Imend FiMmaurire vonchaafed was given haltingly, awl c mkt not tint be ionsetisfactorY to the Opposition. Lord Rendoloh Chumhill opened the roil case for the Opposi'lan First, he pail a high complim nt to his leader. which contrasmd strongly with his contumelious proceedings oe Friday. Ho then challenged the Prime Minister with something like personal hostility to divest himself resmoneib,lity for the ASSARRiOII.iOO of Staliemen Mr. (Beast one's Jodie:Winn et-drained his speech, which was day test to the demolition of Lord Randolph Churchill process the Ronal seemed to eniov.
