London.

Mr Gladstone will formally meet the House of Commons on Thursday. The Daily News is triumphant as to the division, but the Daily Chronicle considers that the majority requires squaring. The Marquis of Salisbury favours the creation of members of the House of Peers to represent the colonies. Sir Samuel Wilson and Mr Hennilrer Heaton are mentioned in connection with the suggestion. The Times considers that Mr Gladstone's success is a national disaster. At a meeting in the Phoenix Park, Dublin, which was attended, by 15,---000 people, resolutions were carried demanding that an amnesty be granted to political prisoners. Lord Salisbury, in the House of Lords, in announcing his resignation, said he hoped the ,Earl of Kimberley would state the policy of the new Government. The latter declined, on the grounds that he was not yet a Minister nor had he consulted his colleagues. Parliament has adjourned until Thursday. The Irish societies in Chicago have resolved if IJome Bule is rejected to use physical force to compel its acceptance. Mr Keir Hardie insists that the Labour members should oppose the inclusion of Mr Moriey in the new Cabinet. Mr Gladstone is determined to make a personal allotment of portfolios. It is feared that Lord Bosebery will not accept a seat in the Cabinet. The Calcutta correspondent of The Times wires that affairs on the frontier are critical, and that a serious collision is expected between the Russians and the Afghans.
