LATEST INTELLIGENCE, BY ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.

London, April 8. This morning the debate ended on Lord Stanley's amendment to postpone the consideration of Mr Gladstone's resolution until next Session. 600 members voted, and the Government was defeated by a majority of 60. The announcement was greeted with wild cheers by the Liberals. A meeting of the Cabinet was held to consider what action should be taken in view of the vote of Friday night on Mr . Gladstone's resolutions. The Ministers decided to resign in case the Opposition should retain a large majority after the recess of Parliament. Tbe defeat of the Government forms the chief topic of conversation. The Times says that the Commons have resolved that this cancer of the Empire shall be removed, and that the rejection of Lord Stanley's amendment to postpone the consideration of the resolutions until next Parliament, and the adoption of Mr Gladstone's resolution to go into Committee, are merely the first steps of operation. The national will is soon to be expressed, and it will be no uncertain sound. It will insist that a work so happily begun shall be thoroughly performed. This morning's vote is the dawn of a reunited empire. Now Ireland may take confidence from this vote, that she is sustained by a vast balance of opinion in the United Kingdom.. The wrongs of ages are to be ended, and right done amidst the acclamations of the nation. This must guarantee peace. The Morning Post says that this vote is the death warrant of the Irish Church. No fairer trophy has been won by the Liberal party since the Emancipation Act of 1820. The Standard says that the effect of this vote will be to waste the session without advancing Jhe object proposed one single step. The annual race between the Oxford and Cambridge University crews has taken place. The race was closely contested, but in the last mile the Oxford crew gradually forced ahead of their competitors, and passed the goal three lengths ahead. The four miles were accomplished by the victorious Oxonians in 20 minutes. The Prince and Princess of Wales were present in their steam-yacht. Lord Cranbourno has been offered the Governor Generalship of Canada, toj succeed Lord Monck, and the Earl of Mayo, now Secretary of State for Ireland, has been offered the Governor Generalship of India. The Grand Jury have brought in true bill against all the prisoners charged with complicity in the Clerkenwell outrage, except O'Neill, and the trials will commence next week. The hierarchy wili soon present a petition to the Queen in person against any change in the position of the revenues of the Established Church in Ireland.
