London. April 3..Knglish and Scotch opposition

t« Home Kule lisa been growing nore and more

pronounced all the week. When Mr. Gladstone an¬

nounces next Thursday thc providions of the bill to

sinend the .iltur* government of Ireland, he will

baTe to deal with three or four sets of opponents.those opposed to Home Kule in any form; thone

opposed to a separate Parliament; those opposed to

Home Rule with land purchase; and those op¬

posed to Hom? Rule without lund purchase. It in

now expected that all these heterogeneous forces

-rill be marshalled tinder the joint leadership of

Lord Hartington and Mr. Chamberlain. Great

efforts are makin? to induce Lord Hartington to ab¬

stain from active opposition.The Tories on the other hund profess themselves

ready to follow Liberal haden, Lord Salisbury re¬

turns to I,eildon to-morrow. The Tory plau of cam¬

paign will then be settled. Reports egreo that he

fiivtire close co-operation with Anti-Homo l.nlo

Liberals. The Standard publishes a strong appeal

for united .vtwu and strongly deprecates uny iat¬

tempt of the Tories to assume responsibility for the

conduct of tho debate.

Mr. riiamberlain will follow Mr. Gladstone; then

Air. Trevelyan. Application- for admission from

strangers surpass ali precedents, 5,10 members of

the Honno disputing for 190 places, and many ask¬

ing a do/on «e:its for friends. The Speaker in con-

gtmuaaat ahandons his own R.-illery to tho chances

of ballot. Seven embassies und the American Lega¬

tion aro deprived ol their usual si ate.two each.

Some ol thc strongest I'.nglish Home Rulers out¬

side the' Mini-try urge Mr. Gladstone to confer no

powers on the new statutoiy Irish Parliament be¬

yond those belonging to American State Legislat¬ures aud warn hun that the country will stand no

more. They profess to believe that Mr. Parnell

will accept that when convinced that a larger meas¬

ure i.s impossible.Tha multiplying signs of dislike for Homo Rule

throughout England aud Scotland tiavo alarmed

more than one of Mr. Gladstone's colleagues. Re¬

ports are i'arrant of dissensions in tbe Cabinet.

Lord Spencer is said to be dissatisfied because land

{¦melisse bl postponed ¦ week niter Home Kule, but

it now appeais that Mr. Gladstone means both

MfiaBiiTtjBnltiiaatrljtoprorosd together. lie prefers,

linvi'ver, to stand or fall on thc* proposal for a

separate Irish Parliament, and the Home Rule bill,

therefore, is lirat introduced. Two other Ministers

am end.toting to narrow tho scope of tho measure

which it is now tielievd gives the Irish ParliamentControl over tho customs. t:ixos and jiolice, in short

settiiiL* up an Irish Canada within thirty miles Ol

thc English coast.

This belief lt ia which has stirred loyal Liberals

in Scotland to protest. Nothing has moro startledthc Ministers than the declaration of Thc Sentmian

thut such ii illari or anything like it would lc, and

ought to Le, rejected bf Parliament Du Scoitiimn is

Mr. Gladstone's ablest ami most devoted BnpportC.in the entire Kingdom. Its editor is tlio personalfriend of I.mil Rosebery. TbeSeotehmembereofthe House ezpn sa Minilar opinions. The -amber oi

j i 'tents increased dating the week till some of Mr

Gladstone's Cabinet began to apprehend* generalreva.lt. Any considerable delect ion among the

Scot*.- HK-iulicrs would be fetal. Mr. Gladstone,

therefore, say Ins colleagues, stands between the

Booteh Scylla and t'ne Irish Cbarybdss. Unless h.-

modifies his project, a number of Scotch membei i

will abandon bim. If he modifies it. Mr. Parnell's

American masters will not allow him to accept it.

Si, rapid ha* bein thc growth of this hostilitythat r.linois abounded on Thunda! that a collapseol thc Cabinet was in,mun ni, Mr. Gladstone totallylefaaing substantial col* eariona and being resolved

t<> meet Parliament witta hie original scheme. Few

Boen inside bi outside tho House now believe it will

be possible iur liiiu to carry such u schema, but it is

rc narked by Ins colleagues that'' the old man has

got his Lack against the wall" and will bringererythlag down with him sooner than yield.They add that ho will nol eoncede to lesser men

what he 1ms refused tc Mr. Chamberlain and Mr,

Trevelyan.Thc two resignations were announced ou Mon¬

day. Unlike Lord Hartington, vt ho bits behind tho

Treasury benah, Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Trevel¬

yan took seat* below the gangway. Mi. Cbamber-laiti's friends say thal ho is working hard and

silently to overthrow the Government which he has

quitted. Ho or aome other Influence hss paralyzedthe movements of the Liberal associations winch

were relietl on to support thc Ministry. These asso¬

ciations in lot mer crises sent ap addresses of confi¬

dence by scores. NOW not Otto ls Sent, Not a single

important public nieetin. hus yet been held in Eng¬land iu favor of Irish Home Rule.There was a great and enthusiastic meeting yes¬

terday of banke.8 and merchants ol thc City of

London, the Lord Mayor presiding, and leadingLiberals sal personal friends of Mr. Gladstone, like

Sn John Lubbock. Mr. Grenfell, and many Ltberalmemhers aud oflicers of Liberal associations, beingpresent. Tbe meotiug resolved in energetic terms

against a separate PaiUeaaent in Dui.lin. sir

John Lubbock said that he was still a warm sup¬

porter of tho Govorutne-t and that Mr. Gladstone'sreal enemies were those who wanted him to take a

fatal leap in the dark.

lt is dirticult, indeed, to say where the Govern¬

ment can look lot iiesh siippoit. Mr. Caine, stand¬

ing for Harrow in-Furness, has pron duneed against

Hone Rule. No seat can bo found for Mr. Shae-

Lefevre, whom Mr. Gladstone vainly recommendedto HaiTow.Mr. Chamberlain's successor, Mr. Stmsfeld. an

amin 1. lo derelict of the ancient administration,brings not an atom of strength to the Mini-try.

Lord Dalhousie, tho new Secretary for Scotland, is

respected, pojiular aud capable, but is already re¬

potted to be hesitating how far to follow tbe chief,whom he idoh/es. TITO IB-lgMlhHia of membersof the Government holding impoitunt oflico* are ex-

pcic'i on Friday morning. The Irish membersthemselves take a grsvo vicar of tho situation.They meet Hcotch opposition with a threat to de¬

feat every Scotch bill for the next twenty years.The Bastian crisis has created genuine alarm

throughout Western Lurope. berlin advices cai lyin the week umnted to war, all efforts to make theGieeks hem hmm having failed. Conlidciite has

sinci been [regained, Lord Rosebery carrying his

point. Greece now knows thu', war agpinst Turkeymeans deliance to united l.urope. Russia, If it

docs not take part in active measures, shoii'd suchbecome necessary, will not oppose them.
