" This was aimed at Sir Will mm Harcourt and produced a treuiendoui sensation. * . Dexpatclies from London, of April [ ; p,''. say the exeitfment was in tense throughout ; the Kingdom, a « it was Ihe day selected by the British Prefhier "to dirulgehift scheme for the solution of the Irish pro2blem. Seats were taken in the House as ' early as 5 3() p.m., the Irish menibt-rs being: the first in. Outside of Parliament Hdajse and even around Mr Gladftone's ofic^. residence, the crush of pepp<e W;as inj^ mense. Mr Gladstone entered tne House at 430 p.m. He arrived in an open car'- 1 ! riage, and his appearance was greeted with deafening cheers, fie was bareheaded, and bowed right and left to the crowd. His wife sat beside him; Within - the building his reception, though less demonstrative, was equally enthusiastic with that outside. Amongst Liberals and ' Parnellites the wildest enthusiasm prevailed, and it is safe to say that no suottfi / scenes wew ever witnessed before in the* . 4 House of Commons. - . • /
