London, April 24.?Ip^ne House Of r Lords, to-day, the Marquis ?f Salisbury, Secretary for ludia, said the next bar* vest in India promised to be abundant, and the present provision against famine was undoubtedly ample. In the House of Commons, Mr. Smallet moved that tho suddenness of the late dissolution of Parliament is deserving the oensare of the House. He characterized the act as a coup d'etat by which the last govern? ment sought unconstitutionally to re? tain power. He declared that Gladstone had resorted to a stratagem whioh was ungenerous to his friends, insolent to his opponents and barely honest to the nation. Mr. Whalley seconded the mo? tion. Mr. Gladstoue stigmatized the assertion that this dissolution was se? cretly plauned as uutrue, absurd and p impossible. He challenged a repetition of the word "trickster," which had been applied to him, und upon the refusal of Mr. Smallet to repeat it, he charged him with luck of decency and manli loss. He defended tho uut of dissolu? tion, whioh ho declared would have been more inconveniont hud it been postponed. On concluding his speech, Gladstone left the House.
