LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

[BT ATLANTIC CABLE.]

London April 8. This morning the debate ended on Lord Stanley's amendment to postpone the consideration of Mr Gladstone's resolutions till the next parliament. Six hundred members voted. Government was defeated by sixty. The announcement of the majority was •greeted by wild cheers by the Liberals. A meeting of the Cabinet was held to consider wha,t action should be taken in view of a vote on Friday uight on Mr Gladstone's resolutions. The Ministry decided to resign in case Opposition should retain a large majority after recess of Parliament. The defeat forms the chief topic of conversation. The Times says that the Commons have resolved that the cancer of the Empire shall be removed. Rejection of Lord Stanley's amendment to postpone consideration until next parliament, and adoption of Mr Gladstone's resolutions to go into committee, are merely steps of operation. National opinion will soon be expressed, and it will be no uncertain •sound. It will insist that work so happily begun shall be thoroughly performed. This vote is the dawn of united Empire. Now we may take

confidence from this vote that she is sustained by a vast balance of opinion. United Kingdom wrongs of ages are to be ended, and right done amid acclamation of nation.
