London,, March ' 13.? The journals, this morning, comment at great length on the defeat of the Gov^nmeut On the . Irish ? University education bill, and speculate upon the course Gladstone will pursue.. The Tories say the Cabinet will probably resign to-day, and Disraeli will be called by the Queen to form a new Ministry, in which event Parliament will -be dissolved, and a general election ordered before July. The Post says the .Government has not determined whether it will resign, or dissolve Parliament, and appeal to the country. The vote on Gladstone's bill was a great surprise to the. Cabinet and the Liberal members of the House of Commons. The latter are desirous of upholding the Ministry by a vote of confidence. The Conservatives are unwilling to accept the responsibility of the dissolution of Parliament. The session of the House of Commons, to? day, is looked forward to with great anxiety, as Gladstone will then announce the course decided upon by the Minis - London, Maroh 13.?Gladstone, in the House of Commons, and Grauville, in the House of Lords, this afternoop, an? nounced that the Ministers had tendered to the Queen their resignations, whioh her Majesty had accepted.

Havana, Maroh 13.?Tho Direotora of the Political Club of the Spanish Casino invited a number of wealthy citizens and leading financier* to a conference Mon? day oveuidg, at whioh the condition of the treasury was taken under considera? tion. Tho directors submitted a pro tax-payero, aooordingto (he amount of taxos paid by eaoh. The directors stated thai the Casino would also lake steps to introduce the plan to the consideration of the property and moneyed men in the interior of the island. There was con? siderable disonssion at the conference, but no resolution was adopted. The proposition meets with muob opposition. The distribution of the nntakeu bonds among the tax-payers is regarded in the light of a forced loan,, which is all the more objectionable as it falls heavily on the wealthy classes. The street people denounce it, deolaring that a ooercion to take the loan is against their interests, as well as oontrary to law. Informal meetings of foreign and Spanish mer? chants have been privately held, at which it was resolved to oppose the plan, and the foreign Consols will protest, in case it is insisted upon. Prominent Spaniards represent that the objeot is to make thoso patrons who boast loudly of their devotion to Spain, and are slow in affording real support to her interests, to take some share of the burdens im? posed by the war for the preservation of their country's power.

At tho time of the arrest the officer was crowded by up? wards of forty negroes, who were given to understand that their interference would not bo tolerated. Frenoh soldiers are being taught to do thoir killing in a morcscientifio manner. At the recent execution of Communists in Satory, the order to fire was given viva voce, and not as usual by a signal. Tho prisoners were shot dead instantly; whereas, in former executions, when the soldiers were watching the adjutant's sword, their aim became unsteady and they fired wildly. Tho result was that sergeants bad to finish the condemned with pistol bullets. Poor, played-out Stanley didn't get very favorable notices from the Chicago press, the morning after his lecture there.
