It is curious how the Liberal Cave on the Irish

resolutions has caved in. Mr. Watkin has been called very peremptorily to order by his election committee at Stockport, and has caved in at once, promising to put his amendment cheerfully into Mr. Gladstone's hands. Mr. Laing had to explain, on Monday night, to a House which would not listen to a word he said, that he had made up his mind that he could not sacrifice Ireland to the Government, though he had wished to save it. Mutiny does not prosper this session.
