A London cable says : In Ibe House of Uommooa to day Mr. Oladstooe moved the eoond rearing of the Bill to remove re- ligious disability, and eaid that he under- took by this Bill lo remove from tbe Btatuun an icjaetioe and an anomaly which are a disoreoit to as.

Mr. Gladstone asked, " was the CaU "in ' i- . al pvaition before the Aol of ItftJ'j V Kvrry subject was entitled presum- ably lo bold any crown offioe, bat Catholics were debarred by tbe Test Aot." Mr. Qladsionu added tbat be and a number of good lawyers, including the Chief Jastioe, were not aware that there was any dii- abiliiv ex |it the Test Act, which was re- pealed in 18113. It was contested whether ttu< r< |f*i i- ll. usually qualified Catholics Parliament when it repealed the Teat Act had no specific intention to open those offices, auu ii was tbertfore his duty not to be deterred from prosroalmg Ibis bill, the object nl which was simply to remove an anomaly, which wae supposed to exclude, and perhaps did exclude, oerttiu of the Q'I'-I n a iiu'j oie from holding certain offic'-s. If ibe bill was read a seoond lime he pro|Kisrd in move that it be petee&t through committee pro forma, reeervinic that tbe substantial oommittee be taken after tbe report of the bill from that oommiile*. The bill, Mr Gladstone said fnrih r, did not afluct tbe succession of the Grown, because the Crown wan not open lo eompitition.

Mr. S i,nh replied that Mr. Oladstouo then was iu Opposition and that morecver SB 1881 Mr. tila.-Biuiie, in answering a qnestioo on the same subject said that the Oovernmenl di>i not intend to advocate the abolition of all Ibe remaining religious ohecks, tu'ih as prevented the Obanoellor or Sovereign betog Catbolioe- Catholics did not demand the bill. Mr. Hmith Opposed the bill oeoac < it applied to two personK only, and moved that it be read the second limit six months hence.

The new* of tbe disaster created the wildrBl exoitemont, and the mouth ot tbe slope was soon thronged with people frantic in their elTirti to obtain information cf the inmates of tbe mine. When all who escaped reaohed Ihe surface, and it was known who were lost, tbe excitement increased, and in Its* than half an boar hundred* of men, women and children gathered around Ihe slope, and the terrible scene of anguish thai ensued cannot be depicted. Wives implored piteoaaly cf the miners standing by, who knew only too well the fatal result, to save their hatbands from a watery grave Children cried for their fathers, who would never retarn. Relatives and friends wrung their bands in sorrow and distress, and appealed to merciful Providence to save i in, when within each breail wae the certain feeling that tbeir prayers would be unanswered. Tbe weather, which wts bitterly cold, did not have any effect toward diminishing Ihe crowd, and it was only after tho terrible result was made plain that none of tbe entombed men were living or oould possibly ke reached until all tha water was pumped out ot the slope tbat tbe grief (tricken friends ol the nnfor lunate men could be induced to go to their nomer.
