The voto on Gladstone’s bill was a great surprise to tho Cabinet and the Liberal members of the House. Tho latter are desirous of upholding the Minia- kry by a vote of confidenca. The Conservatives are unwilling to sccept the responsibility of s dissolution of Parliament. Tho seesion of tho Houso to-day is regarded with anxiofy.” Loxpox, March 15.—Lord Granrille, in the House of Pecrs, stated that the Cabinet resigned ‘because of the adverse vote on the Irish Univor- siéy bill, and asked for an sdjournment, which was agreed to. 2Mr. Gladstone, on rising in the Houseof Com- ons to announce the resiguation of the Gov- ernment, was received with loud and prolonged cheering. When be had informed the Houso of the resignation, and its acceptance by the Queen, he moved that the _sitting e adjourned until Monday. He added that when that day arrived, should the public interests require it, he would esk for » further adjournmont. The announce- ment was received in perfect silenco. Alr.

Loxvow, March 13.—Disraoli has not accepted ‘offico, nor definitely declined. He is waiting the @rrival of Lord Derby befors finally answering. ‘There appears to have been an understanding Dbetween the disafiected Liberals and Tory party. The - latter had given out, to securs the greaiest amount of opposition to the bill, that its defeat should not occasion the accession of the Tories to offics. Some of the Conserya- tive leaders certainly rallied the hesitating Lib- erals to oppose the bill, on the assurancs that =& Tor inistry would be impoesible. Conse- quently theso léaders, such ss Lord Carenarvon, Gathorne-Hardy, and the nis of Salisbury Yesolutely refused to accept the office. The Conservative party is thus divided on the safety and expediency of venturing to govern with & Parlisment largely hostila on general principles, eithongh in accidental barmony on this particn. lar mensure. Should this continue, the Con- servatives will maintain their present attitude. Gladstone will probably be invited to continue 1 office during the session and order an early dissolation. Tt is mare probable, howsver, that #ie Tories will reconsider their prom- :_::, i an -uuzztpt to gov- unting on ettin satel through the’ session by anl_vsbmgmg up tha Decessary busincss bilis, and not venturing on 20y meesure involving s difference of prin- ciples. ——— Dipasch i e G Chicago Tribune.

In answer, tho Government says it will do everything in ita powerto prevent a Tepe- tition of these depredations, but rofuses to en- tertain any proposition for dmfifea. The Goy- ernment aleo hopes England wilf mot. out the threat contained in its note to invade the territory of Mexico, should its demand not be conceded, and doclares that the Republic hag always observed its lawful obligations. The Trait D' Union says the religions troubles are apparently reviving. A short time ago & priest, clad in the garb of Lis order, appeared in the streots, and protested against the en- forcement liberalizing law in regard to re- ligious worship, The Government has issned an order, however, that the law must be fully observed. Under its operation Protestantism ismgkinfi.m pid progress throughout the Dio- public. 3 spread of Protostanlism gives great offense to the Catholio priesthood, who are using every means to provent its growth and circumscribo its influence. The conse- quence of their efforts has been the oe- currence of soveral deplorable ecenes lato- 5. Very rccently » crowd of fabatics, excited to frenzy by the sermons of some priests, made an attack upon & congregetion of. Protes- tants worshiping in & church in San Luis, No one was killed, as far as lnown, but soveral were injured. Tho police finally dispersed tho rioters. Theso occurrences bode misfortune in future, unless the anthorities interpose at once and re- establish law and order. A remarkable plenomenon was witnessed re- cently in the town of San Ignacia Binaloa. There was quite a_showar of quicksilver, fino drops of mercury falling overywhero and cover- ing tho plants. The inhabitants collected many drops to preserve as mementoes of this singular shower, end samples have been secured for aci- entific analysis. PR SPAIN.

THE PENITENTIARY. The Legislative fnvestigation. Spectal Dirpatch to The Chicago Tribune. SrriNoFrELD, IIL, March 18.—The Peniten- tiary Committee met this afternoon, Mr. Gay- lord testified that Washburn tried to get the Commissioners abolished, and so did Goodspeed. ‘Washbtrn declined to work the quarry because Reed owned it. Reed and Goodspeed wanted him to go to Springfleld to help abolish the Board, Goodspeed told him, subsequently, that if Washburn made up with Reed it would be all right. He received word from the Commission- ers last Saturdsy might that if he came to Bpringfield they had papers that would ruin_his Efiihcu.l career forevor, after Bruce told Hop- ins and Hopkins told him. J. D. Leland testificd to shipping fifty-four wagons to Huggins, of Bunker Hill, for §3,440, _before the trade with Rosenfield. Warden Edwards oxplaingd that he sold 100 wagons to Huggins, and shipped fifty-four when Rosenfield bonght tho others. Witness agreed with Rosonfield that Huggins should have the balance of the wagons at ths same rate—@51. The wagons stood chargod to Huggins on the books. The tires fell off the wagons when Hug- gina took them to Bt. Louis tosell. It was stated that Washburn could not get away until to-morrow. James Watson testified that he had been con- nectéd with the Penitentiary for soventeen months. Ho was clerk in tho store, receiving and issuing goods. Mr. Watson, store-room clerk, testified in offect that tho olothing received in September wasnot entered in his bill-book until Feb, 8, when it was entered in the receiving-book under date Nov. 80. Thirty-two pofinds of meal was entered on Feb. 8, under the date of Jan. 81, sgainst Reed, but other entrics might bave been made on tho other books of the institution. The Bteward told him to make the entrles. Some coal cars ram from 20 to 600 pounds short, and some ran over. Dis- covered that the scalo was out of order. A boat load-of coal from Morris, 8aid to contain 150 tons, was short 45 tons, measured by the two- bushel boxes. Bome overcosts were made for outsido parties, who paid for them. A copy of the account of the prison againat Mr. mmf was pat in evidence. djourned till ovening. The Committeo reassembled at 7:30. Gov. Palmer testified that on tho shoe contract lot to Bole & Co. a year and & balf ago, depended the ° success of the new syatem. The prison was losing money by a contract previously made by the \Varden. Whiting's was the highest bid, but it was deemed moro profitable to let it at 52 cents to Bole & Co., who agreed to take up the prison contracts and purchase the tools, while other bidders would buy only such tools as the wanted after the Ohicago fira, When all the hig bidders failed, he became fully satisfied that the . contract with Sole & Co. was the best. They got rid of the stock and tools. The other bids might have been good, but the one accepted, being certain it was the best in the end. From 1869 to the time that bid was let, the Penitentiary affordod nothing but disap- intment. Whitney & Co. never claimed the id that was awarded them, but that it should have been.

PARKERSBU:G,W. Va., March 18.—A fire broke out in rear of the feed store of J. V. Dent, on Market strest, st about 7 o'clock p. m., sud, owing to the fact that many of the surronnding Duildings were frame, it soon gained in fierconess, and st ono time threatened to destroy the entire city.

Report of the 0ld Board of Directors--- Nomination of Officers. Tho annusl meeting of the members of the Mechanice® Institnte was held in Judgo Jame- son's Court-room, now City Hall, last evening. There were sbuut fifty persons present. Mr. Isnac Bpeer called the assemblage to order, and stated that the object of coming together was to hear tho reports of committees, elect members, and to nominate officers for the ensuing year. They had succeoded, after diligent scarch, in se- curing o copy of the old Constitution and By- lawe, and a list of the books which were in tha library. There were sixteen ‘“‘old members " present—a quorum. After epending balf an hour in quibbling about who were new and who were old members, and the manner in which new members were to be elected, Mr. Prusaing asked if there was a Constitution and by-laws. He thought the old Constitution ought to be readopted betore eny- thing legal could be done. The Chairman was despotic throughout, and. althongh clearly wrong in his decisions, only yielded when the members laughed at him. He decided that new members must be elected viva voce ; but, his attention being called to the fact that the Constitution required them to be ballot- ed for, after much hesitation he appofnted two tellers, and requeated that ballots be prepared. ‘The question as to whether there was a con- sticution or not waa agzain broached, and Afr. Prussing offered the following: WaEREs, The Mechanics’ Institute of Chicago is Dot acting under any constitation and by-laws, at pres- ent, 16 copy of the amended constitution and by- 1aws cannot be produced ; therefore, Resoloed, That from this time forward we act under thio constitution and by-laws, of which we have a copy, adopted in 1843, Tho resolution was adopted. . A gentlemao inquired if it was usnal for can- didates who were ta bo balloted for to remain in the maoting while the voting was going an. The new membara were requested to retire. The Chairman cried out vehemently, ** No! No! Come back.” AMr. Nowland hoped all who were to be balloted for would leaye the room, and all but the * six- teen old members * went out. Mr. Lawlor claimed it was an insult to the men who desired fo become members to make them leavo the room. The Chair srid ho did not desire them to leave. He called Mr. Lawlor to order. Mr. Newland moved that the Chairman vacate ¢ho chair. . The Chairman called Mr. Newland to order ; ho wouldn't vacate. Mr. Cameron moved that the Secretary cast the ballot for those new members who were not objected to. 3 The quostion was not put on the motion, but the Secretary cast the ballot, and sbout thirty persons wera declared electes The new mambers then reentered the room. Mr. Bonner then ssked for tho report of the Iotters. The Chair ssid the Secretary had cast the ballot. Thevoto was *‘unanimous, cxcept one.” Mr. Cameron had not heard the result of the vote announced. Tho chair declared all voted for duly electod. Tho reports of officers were called for. = Mr. Cameron, on behalf of the Board of Di- roctors, mado a vorbal report. The Iast annual mooting was held March 23, 1868 ; the indebt— edness was reported to be £3,715.90. The Trus- too of the Institute wasJohn M. Van Osdel, who wes appointed by tho Court at the instance of the Institute. Threo committees had waited upon him and_endeavored to learn what fands, if any, belonging to the Institute, he had in his hands, but they had been unable to obtain any informstion whatever. A great blunder had ‘been made in 1868, 1o the election of officers, and Mr. Cameron enggested that, in the eloction of oficers this year, whils the ‘mechanics shonld be represented, it was abso- Intely necessary for the welfare of the Institute to Lisvo the business portion of the community represented—to have men of means, wao wonld e an Interest in, and become identified with, it, and give it that moral support which was 80 ‘essential to success. Tho report was adopted. { T Afr. Benner inquired if » motion to appoint Committee of Five to revise the Constitution would be in order. i The Chair said it would not ; that the Consti- tation could not be altered or amended except at the regular annual meoting, upon the request of twenty members. A member inquired if the meeting wasan an- nual meeting. The Chuirsnhld it was, and then corrected him- self ; noxt Thursday night the annnal mesting would bo bold. - " Bome one gaid that the Constitntion provided that the annual mecting should be held in Jan- uary. T was moved, and the motion was agreed to, that that part of the Constitution be rescinded. Mr. Courtney remarked that, to his mind, the proceedings had assumed the consistency of mnd. The Chair inquired /f there were any motions before the honse. He then called for some resolutions. On motiop, & five minutes’ recess waa taken. At the expiration of ten minutes, the Chair- ointed, as the Committes on Revision man a of thep onstitution, George C. Prussing, Ira Milimore, B, L. Fulton, Capt. Roberts, and Mr. Tresdwell. No motion for such a committeo was agreed to. Mr. Camoron tondered his resignation as Chairman of the Board of Directors. [Several voices: *Good,” * Good.”] He hoped others would do the same. s ‘The Chairman eaid the nomination of officers wera in order. Mr. Cameron said officers could not be elected | until the first Tuesdey in January. The Chairman informed him that an election was to be held next Thursday. That part of the conatitution relating to the annual meeting had been rescinded. g Mr. Cameron could not see it; the meeting had no right to rescind any part of the constitu- tion. He did not tendor his resignation for buncombe, but desired to solve & seemingly chaotic difficulty. i Ar. Newland tenderod his resignation as a Di- rector, and called npon all other officers who were present to do likewise. The Chair dolivered s speech which was so hopelesslyinvolved that it muddled tho situation ten-fold. - He maid “the changed election was ‘merely a by-law, and the present was the annnal meeting according to the constitution of 1863, and officers were elected. 3fr. Roberts moved that a committes of thres be appoiuted to nominate officers. Mir. Prussing ssked if the Chair was vacant. Fho Chair said it was not. . Afr. Prussing wanted to know it was to be filled then. The Chair said he was the legal prosiding offi- cer, and if he chose to resign ho would, but he wouldn’t then. _Mr. Newland hoped the President would re~ sign. e President gosticulated wildly. Resign? No, he would not. He would leave the office whon his successor was_elected, intending to bold on until s legal President superaeded hi He was not a candidate for office, but he wanted to hand down to the mechanics of Chicago aa & legacy the Mechanics' Institute. - "Tha question was demunded on the motion to appoint & committee of three to nominate offi- cers. Much disorder provailed, snd a division called for. A member moved ‘“as an amondment” that the nominations be mado by the Honse. The amendment was not entertained. ‘The Chair decided that the motion was adopt- ed, and was sbout appointing the committee, when Mr. Lawlor jumped up and claimed that the motion was not agreed to. The Chair put the motion again, and it was voted down. i Mr, Lawlor gave a history of the Institate, and attributed its downfall to the present of- ficora. The President corrected him ; it was untrne. Mr. Lawlor was_not s member of the lnstitute anyhov, and had no right to apeak. -, Lawlor did not want an office, but he de- sired to seo harmony oxisting in the mesting. That could mot be secured by over-riding the constitution, [Several members retired.) Mr. Prussing nsed the President if he was willing to reeign noxt Thuraday night. Only va- cancies could be legally filled. ’_7 Mr. Lawlor desired men elected who wounld election, but, objecting to & Star Chamber, de- sired tho nommations to be mado in open meet- ing. g’hs Chair said he had allowed the members to talk long enough, and they must quit. Mr. Cameron presented the following: The undersigned members of the Mechanics’ Tnsti- tute request the appointment of & committes of five to Teviss the constitution and by-laws, the ‘same to be prosented at the next meating of the Institution. This was signed by twenty “‘legal mombers.” The Chair remarked that now the question was before the house; that was just what he bad been trying to get_at for some time. He sppointed 88 & committee Messra. Camoron, Roberta, Thayer, Millimore, and Prussing. It was moved that & committee of five be ap~ ointed to nominateofficers, to be voted for next uredsy evoning. Tho motion was agreod o) and the Commitise was thus constituted by tho moeting : Prussing, Lavlor, Treadwell, Roberts, and Banner. The Cinir announced that there would be =& recess of ten minutes for refreshment. Tke Committee on Nominations reported os follows: President—Thomas B, Bryan, First Vice-President—George C. Prussing. Second Vice-President—Cornielus Price, Recording Secretary—T. Robarts, Corresponding Secretary—E. P. Treadwell. Financial Secretary—John McAvoy. Treasurer—1. A, Thayer. Board of Dircetors—Dobert Clark, Thomas E. Court~ ney, H. L, Fulton, A, J, Corrigan, Irs Miltemore, James Hollingsworth, Livrarian—William Parker. The Chairman said between now and the zn- nual meoting, as many tickets s were deamed necessary conld be made up ; but on Thuraday night next the Aal‘mstion would be who can vote. o mosting then adjourned until next Thure- day evening. . THE NOVEL, Lecture by Prof. Swing at the Michi- gan Avenue Baptist Church Last Evening. Tho most popular lecture yet given in the Star Couree was delivered to s full house last even- ing, in the Michigan Avenue Baptist Church, by Prof. Swing, on *The Novel.” The epeaker, whose entrance was greoted with hearty ap- planse, said : Although tho world has, for' s hundred yoara or more, been emiling at the clergy for their dis- position to begin each discourso with the his- tory of creation, yet, after this long. smile, it is necessary often to go back and find the sourco of whatever stream Is flowing st our feet. Each branch of literature rises in some peculiar at- tribute of human character. The fact of society makes necessary a literature of the law. Theo- logical literature rises in the mountains of Na- tural Religion, and thence flowing down into the brosd valleys of Protestantism or Roman- ism, and sweeping through those districts, empties at last into the New Testament boyond the limits of this century. The literature we call history is the result of humsn memory. When the brute dies he takes his world with him. His successor begins the world anew. Whenman dies his successor remem- bers whore his father left off. This remembrance is history. Thus all wisdom is justified of her children. In such a world the novel meets us, and, with a emile asks us it we can tell the res~ son of her existence. If you will journey thrangh the old civilized times and zges, you will perceive here and thers in %d!e.rioa, in temples, in palaces, in old homes of Cicero or Demosthenes, & beautifal human head in marble or gold, or painted upon canvass. The forchesd is not high. The hair waves eliglitly across it, and s heavy and rich. The eye is not 8o full of philosophy asof soul. The cheek, the nase, the mouth, the neck, the shounld- ers are the final conclusion of all study &s to the beantiful. Homer called thisimage Androweche. Sophocles called it Antigone. Tiio Groeks call- ed it Aphrodite. The Romans Minerva. Dants Deheld it as Beatrice. Tho Bible built a paradise for it, and called it Eve. Of that phe- nomenon called the Novel, this beautiful creature is the satisfacfory explanation snd ample apology. But by the word cause we moan only the great central motive or im- pulse, or the golden thread which gives beanty to the fabric without making up the whole of the warp or woof. Here the r showed the influence of woman in sociery, and then went on to eay the whole world of art and let- tersTosts upon & basis of sentiment, and tho novel is only an exhalation riving like a mist from this sentimental ses. The great Hindoo world produced system of morals, and accom plished eomething in the sciences, but resched Do romance, becatse woman bad not yet been permitted to reveal her soul ; but when ths bet- ter days of Greoce camo, she spread her wings, aud became sn angel of good, and the novel sprang up into life. Allustons were made by the epeakor here to Greek plays which ware only novels in verse, and then ssid, when tho idealinu uf thoe classica declined romance be- came a gilly ode of Horace or love song of Abel- ard._Woman does not composs the subject-mat- tor of tho novel. Politcs, arts, religion, land- scape, cuatoms, pass along'in_splendid pageant- ry within the book. One stmosphere envelops it, called Eve, or Evangeline; or Lucille. Tho name changes but the fascination Is perpetual While Madame Recamier lived, scholars, gener- als, omperors, clergymen, oonvenod st her house to discuss literature, science, art, theology, peace, and war. Not & that Madama Recamier ever said anything valuable, or loved anyono deeply, but because the banmer of her beauty and friendship was a flag_good to inapiro the soul. She having died, the men met no more, not that truth had been exhausted, but because the heart hed been emptied of & charm~ ing ontangloment. ach novel has its horo, indeed, but it is not posaible for the masculin face ‘to shed light oly enongh to illumine such & world as we now contemplate. Art has never spent much time over the masculine face. I¢ has painted Min- ervas and Zenobias and Eves, but when it has come to man it hag generally produced a Her- Gules, and faraished pirm with & club, Having chown that woman 18 priestess at the altar of fiction, the speaker passed on to show that the more the novel makes of woman only a thread to bind to other cases, the greater the book. The semsation novels are only the development of s courtship amid iculties. They are genius employed in putting off & wedding until the in- torvening obstacles in the shape of poison and Indians and bandits have made history enough to furnish copy for avolume. Then comes & wedding or a faneral. Richter gathers up in his Titan all the best thoughts he had upon life. Auerbach had drawn on the liberg of Americs, the greatness of Franklin and Lincoln. Mauna is & girl by wnose side we eit in Villa Eden, while Auerbach teaches all his ideas to our soul. In Dickens the poor men, the outraged children of earth, come up to & just judge and find re- dress. In Thackeray the worldia subjected to nlnlgd{antfiu pressure that reveals the weak places in women are made. In George MacDonald raligion is restated. - In sl the walks of life there are two styles, the high and the low. The wit of Cervantes is high, of Rabelaislow. In the realm of fiction, 88 olsewhore, there is the black and the white. The novel of the low school bears the same re- 1ation to the ideal type that the drama ot poor Adah Issacs Monkens sustaina to the impersona- tions of Madame Ristori and Edwin Booth. 1t is the combined voices of civilization that wake up the human heart. The tree that wouid flnw well must have light and sir all around it. the pulpit presumes that it can move the world. let it but try itself upon Africa and New Zealand, and it will be glad to come back to sia- ners that have read Homer and Shakspeare. Editorsdo not like the natural wild man, but would rather Lurl their wisdom at a hundred thousand subscribors who have read the New Testament and belong to some honest church. Thus all the branchesof thought helpeach other. The qn&ufigm, who ufioul‘t.‘l ;]a;d novals, is the same 2a the inguiry, who should read or seo pictures. Novits of simple luve,my.
