THE IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
London, February 4. In the H-BUBB of Commons to-d»y Mr Gladstone's Religious Disabilities Removal Bill was rejected oq a division by 256 to 223. Jn moving tbe measure Mr Gladstone contended that tbe presenJ disabilities under which Catholics suffered were unfair, since their loyalty had been proved to be uutainted, Mr Smith, speaking on behalf of the Government who opposed the Bill, said that there was no necesMty for tbe Bill, and that the present time was inopportune, as the mass of British subj e's regarded the proposed change with alarm. Mr Stanhope, Secretnryot War, maintains that the British magazine riflt is tbe best in existence, and refused to allow thb Bouse of Commons to appoint a Committee to enquire into the merits of the weapon. Baron de Worms declined to say whether the Government would equalise the restrictions upon British Bubjeots and foreigners in the New Hebrides, until the text of the Federal Council's resolution was received.
