BY ATLANTIC CABLE. London, April 8. The debate on Lord Stanley's amendment to postpone consideration of Mr Gladstone's resolution till next Parliament, was ended this morning. Six hundred members voted, and the Government was defeated by a majority of sixty. The announcement of the result of the division was received with wild cheers on the part of the Liberals. A meeting of the Cabinet has been held to consider what action should be taken, and Ministers have decided to resign in case the Opposition should retain a large majority during the recess. The defeat of the Ministry forms the chief topic of conversation. The 'Times' says — The Commons have resolved that this cancer of the empire shall be removed. The rejection of Lord Stanley*s amendment to postpone consideration of the subject until the next meeting of Parliament, and the adoption of Mr Gladstone's resolutions to go into Committee, are merely the first steps of operation. The national will is soon be expressed, and it will be with no uncertain sound. It will insist that the work of reform, so happily begun, shall be thoroughly accomplished. The vote is tha dawn of the re-union of the Empire. Now Ireland may take confidence that she is sustained by the vast balance of opirsion in the United Kingdom. "Wrongs of ages are to be amended, and right done amid the acclamations of the nation. The " Morning Post" says — This vote is the death warrant of the Irish Church. No fairer trophy has been won by the Liberal party since the Emancipation Act of 1820. The ' Standard' says — The effect of this vote will be to waste the session without advancing the object proposed one single step. April 4th.
