Doe* Ik* think that England, tc., will close her ears? Will tren Ameri'-a lie deaf to the roi-* of sense and Rason and truth, the united vi,iee of the host jeople in Ireland, with their fortunes at stake t The meeting of the Conservative party at the Carlton Club has settled two or three |iomts ol importance. Lord Salisbury suninio-ed it ind took eonnnand. It was nominally a meeting for consultation. It waa really held that Lord Sall? bery might impress his will on the porty. A netion of the Unionists were dicpoaed fi. meet the niotion f.r a second roadine ol the Home Isle bill with a motion embodying al alternative ?ikey. No, said Lord Salisbury: lhere is hut sue wvi.v of recant in* a propu_*l Xor Uie din roptlon ot the UnfTel Kinsdom, and that is by a _lreet negative. He will have hi* way. The entire party assenteil. It was unanimously re? solved that nn amendment lie proposed that the bill be read a second time six months hence. That is the ftseepted parlinint-ntarv circumlo? cution for a direct notative. It is only remarkable thai any I'nionist should ever have wished fyr anything els'1. Tlmse who did are not arnon, tli*' loaders of the party, but perhaps arnon;; those who would like to be leaders of the party. Th<?y will have to try again. Hardly second in interest to thia was th? pub? lic reeoneiliati' n between Tiord Randolph Churchill snd Mr. Balfour. It was necersrviiv that s mi" thine should lie settled. Lord Randolph's r*> Ippearatife in public life had been of the most decisive kin I. He had taken Wi *'':,t "n t,ie front fipp"*ition hr%ch hy Mr. Halfour's invitation. Hie letters trhieh passed botwee* tlu-se two old (Wsonal friend* Ind been friendly.

A few we<-ks later * wlU be * unerful instrument in the great con which la impending. Nobody know* better *? uas the forma of Mas House for the oro vention of mere heedlessness and undue hist.* in legislation. The .ilads'onians make no secret of th<*ir dis? tress over Grimsby, where a Home Rule majority of 681 ha* been turned into a I'nionist majority of 0<i4. Among lb* various causes of this un? expected conversion two are fote_8_at, one politi? cal, one social. The social cause is the Local option bill. The Ministry must already be r* gretting thal they touche] ibis thorny (|iiestion or pandered lo the temperance party by a bill which rains an outcry all over the country. Tue | publicans were not their friends before; but every one of them j* now their active, hard-working* I Opponent, straining every nerve ?galas! them on every occasion, on every hustings, on every plat? form, in every constituency in the Kingdon. Nor is it flu* publicans only who are revolted by tliis proposal. Jf there be one sentiment stronger I than another in the English, it is their liking for i fair play. The moderate men, the greal I-ody 'it th* sober-minded people of England, cannot easily be brought to approve a proposal whick involves the ruin of a considerable class of their fellow- | citizen*. Confiscation is never a popular policy I in England. Lec.il option in its present form mean* confiscation, and that is one subject on which Grimsby ha* r.\nressed its opinion. The other subject and tho other main cause j of Mr. Broadhurst, defeat is Lister. Th<* ll uno ! Ruler i* apt to think Ulster ? more powerful | agent of disaster than temperance fanaticism. Ten Rrotestant Nonconformist minister* from lister paid a visit to Grimsby. They wre there during the whole contest. They spoke .in) preached and ennv?std, and no doubt prayed ai*,. ihe constituency i* largely rfontron formist, and tho protest of these Irish Noncon? formist '-astor* male a deep impression on the English Nonconformist conscience. It is but the I prelude to the wider and deeper impression which I Ister will make on the English conscience in general. Every day it becomes plainer that , Ulster cannot be dealt with as Mr Gladstone meant and hoped by ignoring her. i'rim*bv proves it. Grimsby has convinced, not Mr. Rind* : stone, probably, since to conviction his miifil ls no longer open, hut Mr. (Hailstone's strongest friend* and stanch**! supporters, thal some scheme moat be attempted for (piloting Lister, or for quieting England. There is but one limitation upon the Influence that Lister wields, ami that la the general indiiTerenc- of the great body of tho Fngli-ih people to the whole qneation of Homo Rule, and, inferentially, to all things thereunto relating. Eve** that indifference seems likely to yield to the strenuous protest against oppression and betrayal, which daily growl more strenuous. The two Nationalist convention*. Psrnelllte and Anti-I'.irnellite, held this week In Dublin, give forth discordant voices. The Anti-Firm -Mites ar.* foi Mr. Gladstone- bill: the Parnellltea will only have lt on certain condition*. They sc.ff at tho notion of accepting it as a final settlement, lt is un instalment only, and an imperfect in stalmcnt; ind whether they will have it at all, even as an instalment, must depend on th- shape in whick it .-meig.-s from Committee. Such declaration* as these, formally embodied in ree oin* Ilona, make it entirely doubtful whether the Parnellits vote m the Hons.- of Commona will ultimately he cast for or against the bill. The Anti-Farnellite*, on tho other hand, seem prepared to stand or fall with Mr. Gladstone, j They are committing, from thc Irish point "f view, precisely the fault from which Parnell, nnd Parnell alone, of nil tho In*h )o'_*dcrs, wa* strong enough to preserve bia follow.-rs. They have en- ? teaed into a binding compact with an Kngli?h putty and an Lng'-isl) Minister. True, they hsve extorted terms. They have receiver! jn advance a large consideration for tho promise of their | votes. They have got a large bill None tho les* do Wednesday's proceedings in O'li-lin restore te Mr. Gladstone some of tint eontrol with which tho Irish had forced him to part, and leave him, in a fuller __r.M> than before, tho arbiter of Irish fate. Tin* report of tho Evicted Tenant*' ("immi* sion Ls a document which deserves the full dis? cussion it trill receive n?-xt week in the Hons.* of Commons. It is one more oxpri***jon of the spirit nf lawlessness which reigns in Iri*h affair.*. of contempt for ihe obligation of contracts, of the conviction that a landlord is n good tort of man to oppress and plunder. Sir .lanie* Mathew, an Fnglish judge, finds him*olf able to say that the Plan of Campaign, and those who worked it nnd profited by it, an* not fraudulent and dishonest; alliclt tho pl,tn of campaign has l*-en judicially and justly deft neil aa a criminal conspiracy. That is tho keynote to this report. Starting from that premise, the Commission propose to reinstnte evicted tenants against tho wi*h of tho lnndlord, anti without securing to tb* landlord either payment of what is duo j him or guarantees for the future. These aro some of the means by which social t'r'Ter is to be promoted in Ireland, tither iieoplo's monev is le be supplied where needed to re-entering len* ants, ami the landlord i* to content himself ' with such rent or the hope of such rent as | other people think he ought to have. What a paradise for property Ireland will presently heroine ! Tho \Vel*h mutiny, or threat of a mutiny, has had a considerable influence already on the course of politic* and on the fortune* of Home Rule, fl ml may yet have more. There has boon mutiny in tho air. It ii by mutiny, or tho menace of mutiny, that each clii|iio of which Mr. t.lad Stone's majority is OOmpoeed cnni|iels attention to itiS demands. Each has to be appeased ; each is soothed by a bill, or by a resolution, or by the promise of n hill or resolution at tho first I convenient opportunity. Mr. Gladstone, however, on Thursday set his I back against tho wall. He told a Scotch sap* | porter that he could give bini no pledge about I tho time when the Scotch Disest iblishmeni bill would Iv* brought in. Tho Scotch supportor in his Scotch way sail that he would repeat hi.* question on Monday. My answer stand.* for Monday as well as hf to-day," retorted th" gal? lant old man. He clearly thinks that Ik- is him? self master in Scotland, and that the Scotch -tan? nera mav ns well understand that fact. Mr. ("loveland's inaugural address and Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet and Mr. (loveland's policy and Mr. Cleveland himself were covered with English panegyrics early in tho week. Tho j F.nglish are either x'ory magnanimous <?r *om? wh.it forgetful. They no longer take account of tho Sackville incident, nor recall tho l8f_M in which they denounced Mr. Cleveland's abrupt dis? missal of the liritish Minister near the end of hrs former term as an act of brutality. They sr* pleased with his professions of Civil Service re? form, unaware, perhaps, that no American Presi? dent over dismissed and appointed so many public officers on purely politicnl and partisan grunnds. They contemplat-? his Cabinet with that reepeet which tho unknown Inspires in tho human breast. They even applaud Judge Gresham'* acceptance) of oflioo, politely refraining Irom applying to America the aecept"H maxim of Engliuh public. Hf,-. That maxim is, that if a public, msn de? serts his party on s question of principle, he shall not tu Ko a price for his desertion in tho form of offley*. It is really delightful to seo how the English forego all their prejudices ,i*_in*t things American in their lively eense of fiscal favors to como from Mr. Cleveland. A lVesidont who is for taking oft American customs duties on English imports may say and ,!<, what he likes. He may even send Mr. PatrW. Cullin* to London ss Con*ul-(ieneral without evoking a t-us-? English protest. Tho fame of tbat foe of l-nglsnd, so jual* widespread in America, may not yet have extended to England. Tho Atlantic breezes have fnibsl i.. waft it to English ears, and the Atlantic cable doe* no m.ire. than mutter tho gnat Irish Bostoniun'a name. And, after all, a Consul-t.eneral i- n,.t a laure rn London. He has tm diplomatic charade), and, as consul, no social position. He ha* $80,008 a year. The arrival of the American linet New-York at Southampton hat* delighted the ciii;-ens nf that port and d isl ress.-tl th" Irishmen, who think that Queenstown was entitled to an embargo on Ameri? can mails and paaacngfra. Th.- P__ftnM?ter-Gen?nl has brien sharply questioned in the House "t Common*. ]|P KUy? fkat soft answer which sometimes turns away Irish wrath, and quoted somo extremely misleading statistic.-, with which he hail been provided hg the permanent otBciala who run his department fur bim I have not henrd thai the American Hin- has -banged its plan in eonaequenee, or is likely to forego tin* adviintniios of Southampton. <>n the contrary, the manairers of the line and tho authorities of Southampton and of the BonthweAera Railway have made tho most of tho occasion. They had s municipal eelefantion la.*t Saturday, and gave a luncheon on Tuesday to som.- .inn guests, who went down in new American ears from London. The American flag floated over the great ship. The American Minister. Mr. Lincoln, made an excellent speech: the ex-A-Berioaa Secretary of State, Mr. Foster, made another, and Liverpool made a wry fate over all these proe-eding*.

Beanright, S. J, Mardi ll.?After weathering severe hurricanes anti cyclones which have liecu sweeping the Atlantic, the English steamship Well* City, 'liii-li sailed from Bristol, England, for New-York February *.'l and Swansea Feb? ruary SS, lost herself in tlie fog to-night, BBiaaed Sandy Hook, and went ashore on the dangerous beach od Seabright, N. J., at ti:l<i o'clock. The Wells City is one of the Bristol City Line anti the New-York sgenta are James Arkell & Co., with their nflicc at No. 1:. Whifeha!l-*r.

Her poaition was recognized nt once by ber captain to be a dan gerous one, and si.pals of distress were sent up. lin- beech patrol had sighted the steamer a few mi nu tea before the rockets were sent out, an 1 when the sirnal* were erivon the patrols of bath stn finns '>' and I. had given the alarm to th.-ir respective station*. Ti.- apparatus of both station* iva., hurriedly trundled along the beach until opposite the Stranded steamer, and preparations were made at anea ta ***nd relief to the impcrilleil cr-nv snd pn'V-.-tir.er* aboard the sfesmer. The shore anchor wu* (|uickly made fast,' tho linc put aboard and the hrecehes buoy riggel. Hv ?* :.;n o'clock p. m. the work ot bringing flu* passengers ashore wa* hogan. Al ii 18 rhe lif?-saving crew had hrou.ht twelve per* "is a*h"re in the breeches tinny. The Brat ten tak.-n ashore weT" the passen.cr*. and at 8:45 two of the crew had l>een taken off anti the buoy had bcivi sent baric for another passenger. The rough sea re-deretl the work of the brer che* bilby slow, and it will tie well on to 1 o'clock this morning before all of the crew are brought ashore. An atrempt was made by some of the sturdiest men in the life-saving crew* te reach the st'-amt-r In a lifeboat, but after vainly attempting to launch the boat several times they cave jf up, ns it was almost certain death to venture oul. The position of the sfe;im?*r renders the Work of th.- crew difficult, as she lie* so far out that the entire lifeline ha* to be med in reachin" her The lifesaving crews were eomraaidod hy Cap? tain .lames Mulligan, of No. I, and Captain Ab? ner II. West, of No. A. The crew of No. 4 ni.iiiipul.it..' the mortar in throwing the life? line, and sii've,. led in the '.rsr attempt. While the worlt of prepiirin* the anchor anti -hooting the line to the -.Dip wi* under way the steamer, under the action of the wind and wave*, worked around until she lay broad? side on. Her Btorn tell away to the southwar I and grounded, so that s!..? now lies with ber en? tire keel resting upon the Banda, her bow point? ing to thi- northwest. As the night advanced the nea occam** more Ugly, and about the time the work of bringing the passengers and crew ashore was began tin* waves began to dash over the steamer. Captain Ravage, of the Wells City, sent word ashore by the lir-t of the passenger* who made the trip alon.' tin* line that Illa vessel was not making water, and, so far as he could ascertain, lier hull wa* Intact. Tin- lifesaving crews were hampered in their work by th.- fact thu' the Wells City continually tol|rd, at om- moment drawing the Min- taut, anti thc next allowing ir* to sag until it would almost touch the waves. In this way almost i-verv one who made tbe trip wa* for a moment or two under water. All, however, arrived on tlie beach safely, although much exhausted. As fast as the rescued ones xvoro brought anhore. they were hurried to Life Saving Station No. 4 and supplied with dry clothes, and were Banda as comfortable as possible iii the station. Word was telegraphed immediately after th* Steamer came a*horc to the office of the Merritt Wracking Compnny, and one of their big wrecking steamer*, with all the necessary lines aboard from Stapleton, S. I., summoned to th,* relief of the stranded steamer. The wrecker should .read, tlie sc.ne of the disaster before daylight, and work wUl at once Ik* begun to pull the Wells City off, or nt least to put out guy-anchors to hold her in position. All dav yesterday a strong, steady wind blew frun the northeast, a dense and heavy fog en? veloped the lower bay and the wast* of Long Island ami New-Jersey. The wind kicked up ;i nasty, choppy sea, which beat on the beach along the Jersey coast und threatened disaster to coast? wise craft. Tlie vigilance of th?* life-saving crew waa doubled, as the expeiienc-*d eyes of tin- he-ieli patrol recognized at one- that yesterday was by far the most dangerou. dav for craft caught on a Ice shore that han visited thi* P*rt of the Atlantic lg several months. With the exception of tho schooner Huger Kui)', which went ashore inside, of Sandy Hook Point, no disaster was reported until to-night, when tlie stranding of the Wells City was reported. 'Hie point at which the .teamer is ashore is a dangerou* one. The beach, which is composed of a thick, heavy ssnd, drops away gradually, snd what, is apparently a clear stretch of deep water ls in reality hut few inches deep.

No one except the eommis_ioner* themselves knew that the meerim- was to be held. In fact, it was generally believed tint the meet? ing af Mr. Steinway's house would mt he held before Tuesday, and many persons who had closely ob-i-rved th- movements of the commissioners did not believe that they would be able to rouse themselves so soon. One reason for believing that the meeting would not Ive held before Tues* dav was that the Manhattan directors had not wnt to Ike commission any modifications of their imposition made on January 10.
