The Imperial Parliament.

The House of Lords has agreed to the Address in-Reply. . The Duke of Devonshire, in the course of a speech, stated that the Liberal Unionists will maintain their,, alliance with, but will not merge their identity in, the Conservative Party. • „ , The Marquis of Salisbury, referred to the reported reformation of that Chamber, and declared that to maintain the House of Lords as a sham, while destroying its reality, was ridiculous and contemptible. -The Government, he argued, were engaged in sterii contests, and neg« lecting the vital interests of the poor. He declared that the resolution dealing with the House of Lords had not been given notice of in the first lists owing to the trivial majority of the Government, who had raised the popular agination to divert attention from other measures', * so as to pass these by means of logrolling. Lord Eosebery insisted that admeasure dealing with the House of Lords would be honestly submitted by the Government and pressed to a division while they retained a majority in the Lower Chamber. There*was not, he declared, any precedent for referring to the House of Lords by resolution in a Speech from the Throne. Mr A. J. Balfour states that the agricultural depression in Great Britain has" reached the stage, of a national tragedy. The Government programme set forth in the Speech from the Throne he regards as a farce, and says it has not. the slightest chance of passing,.

Waterfowl City, has several amendments to propose to the AddresS'in*Reply.

Redmond has adopted the Conservative suggestion to limit His demand to a mere dissolution, and the Daily News states that he haa secured the entire support of the Opposition.
