Gable dispatches of last night announce the important intelligence that tlie British Ministry lias resigned, all compromises offered by D’lsraeli in order to bridge over the breach until after the general election under the new reform bills having been rejected. T.ord Stanley, Earl of Malcs burg, and Gat home Hardy refuses abso lutely to serve under D’lsraeli. Mr. Glad stone was immediately sent for by the Queen, and to him will be entrusted tlie formation of the new Ministry. The new Cabinet is not made yet, but will no doubt bo tt compromise. There was a very full house at tlie open ing of the session of the House of Com mons last night. The Prince of Wales and Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstien were among the distinguished visitors present. Great interest was manifested in the proceedings, and much excitement appeared among the members. The Pre mier and Gladstone were loudly cheered as they took their seats. DTsraeli rose, and was greeted with cheers from the ministe rial bench. He reviewed the course of tlie Tory administration, which, at the outset, was without a majority of supporters in the House, and spoke of its uniform suc cess, so entire, indeed, that even its oppo nents acknowledged it. On Thursday last, on a vote upon tlie tirst of a series of reso lutions. the Ministry encountered anew and sudden question, which threatened confusion to Ireland, and ultimately the overthrow of the English Church, the ef fect of which would bo the absorption of all sects in tlie Church of Rome. To this measure lie could not assent, and lie asked ot the House time to advise with tlie Queen on the m:w attitude of affairs. Her Majes ty had heard his statement, and had not only de. lined his tendered resignation, blit'liad urged him not to dissolve Parlia ment in its present anomalous circumstan ces, until ;m appeal could lie made to the new constituencies, and tiiis lie hoped to do w itii the aid ot tlie House. He deprecated tlie urgency with which Mr. Gladstone had pressuu tiie resolves, and hoped tiiat the suspension of tlie orders of tiie day would now, as lie was ready to give to some other gentleman tiie right to carry on tin; discussion, it debate must be. Mr. Gladstone said tiie Premier's praise of Tories was not only in bad taste, but especially that portion of it respecting linance. Mr. Gladstone doubted whether the cu logium passed upon' the Premier was a challenge to tlie opposition or a sop to the Tories to persuade them to remain in office. He laughed at tlie cry of danger to the Es tablished Church of England, and at the Church of Home absorbing all other sects, it was unprecedented that a Ministry which laid been beaten by sixty-live ma jority should think of dissolving Parlia ment. It might be right to elect anew Parliament to settle tlie question ol the Irish Church; but is tirst duty when chosen would be to settle the Ministry it self. The Premier’s coure was unconsti tutional. The House was hostile to the Ministry, and it would not be wanted to govern die country till the fall. Meantime the late .of Ireland and other great ques tions would remain in suspense. Tiieduty of the Liberals was clearly to follow up the resolves with a supi rvisory action, thus clearing.tiie way of the new Parliament. They must go on. (Cheers.) They had no bargains to make. The Premier had sdd instiling would change the course of the Ministry, lie [Mr. Gladstone] would not urge the suspension of tlie oruers to-night if tiie Ministers would allow the earliest possible day for tiie consideration of the resolves, if they passer! tin; House, a liii! should follow suspending tiie appointments ill tlie Irish Church. The next step there after would lie for the ministry to take. Mr. Robert Lowe said, alter tlie Minis ters had unbilled tno wilt oi tiie House they had tin .in.ii by t o ask for the control ot months to conn: of tin; Government. Such a course was unconstitutional. Mr. John Bright said the Premier's state ment Would amaze the country. He asked the House lo reverse Lite- usage of tlie con stitution. that he migiit keep an office, got by art, not tlie most worthy, and hold by Hie adopting of dogmas iie had so bitterly denounced Air. Disraeli said the Liberals had a right, to pass a vote ol want ot confidence, and imked win tin y had not done so. He then fixed tiie 7tii day of May for the debate on tiie biisii Church question.

Business of tiiis kind should not be done hurriedly, nor should the hi!! pass until '.ho Constitution is examined. Air. Stevens said there was not a c ause in tlie Constitution objectionable to a man who favored freedom. Stevens demanded the previous question. The previous question was seconded, and the main question ordered. Stevens having tlie floor, yielded fifteen minutes to Wood ward, who, never having seen the Consti tution. declined speaking.

Queen’s Hotel,London, May 8, a.m.-Tlic ministerial crisis which was inaugurated by tile adverse vote of the House of Com mons, recorded on the Ist instant, on tlie Dish Church question, as presented in tlie Gladstone resolutions, lias been brought to an issue by Air. Disraeli. Tlie Premier assembled tiie Cabinet at an early hour tiiis morning, and Immedi ately after the meeting ot the council re viewed tlie parliamentary situation, the force of the opposition and strength of the government, advising as a conclusion a retention of office until tlie people had an opportunity of expressing an opinion, par ticularly on the subjectot tlie Irish Church endowment, at a general election. Tlie leading members of the niinistrj dissented from tlie view taken by the Pre mier. During a discussion which ensued, the right honorable Lord Stanley. Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs; the right honor able the Earl of Malmesbury, Keeper of the Great Seal, and tiie right honorable Ga thorne Hardy, Secretary of the Home De partment, openly seceded and refused to serve longer under Mr. Disraeli's lead. At tiiis point Mr. Disraeli sought an im mediate audience of the Queen and placed his resignation of the Premiership in her Majesty’s hands, so tiiat his Cabinet wa temporarily broken up some hours before London journals were aware of the fact. Ministers remained in council, and Mr. Disraeli had a private consultat: n with the Queen. After tlie publication of tlie above im portant inn'liigcnce in tiie city it was found that Mr. Gladstone had not been sent for by her Majesty; tint it was gener ally believed that the leader of tlie opposi tion would succeed to the office of First Minister of the Crown. Mr. Disraeli having taken leave of tiie Queen, returned to the Cabinetcouneii, the members remaining in session. It was rumored immediately afterwards Premier lmd induced Lords Stan ley and Malmesbury and Mr. Gatiiorne liardy to -vithdraw their secession resolve, and agree to hold office in ids ministry. P.

Tiie dissenting members of the Ministry still disagreed to the propriety of a flirt her retention of office, but agree i to remain in tiie Cabinet under tlie circumstances, par ticularly as the Queen would not accept ilie resignation.
