BRITISH POLITICS.

—: o (Received 26, 10.30 a.m.) London, July 25. Owing to the crisis the King will remain in town.

Messrs Asquith and Lloyd-Georgo and Sir Edward Grey are conferring with Mr Bartic, Ambassador to France, regarding Moroccan affairs. Mr Lyttelton, in a letter to “The Times,” says it is surely madness to start a contest which is destined to be long and stubborn by conceding ta their opponents. The- majority -in the second chamber were reinforcing their majority in the Commons. Mr Asquith, on entering the House, of Commons was wildly cheered, and Mr Balfour received Ministerial booboos. Lord Hugh Cecil, on putting the question, was greeted with uproar, which lasted five minutes. (Received 26, 11.30 a.m.) London, July 25. Mr Lloyd-Gsorgo is amending the Insurance Bill in the direction of preventing a sick person who has been distrained from being ejected if a doctor certifies that Ids life is thereby endangered. Lord Lansdowno, in a letter to the peers, advises them to desist from opposition, otherwise the creation of peers may overwhelm the present House, and paralyse its future action.

The “Telegraph” says the scene in the House looked like an organised insult to Mr Asquith.. “The Times” says it is lamentable to find Lord Hugh Cecil the ringleader in Parliamentary rowdyism. The “Daily 'Mail” says Mr Asquith has destroyed at one blow the balance of forces which made the British constitution the admiration of the world. He exploited the worst section of the nation in order to set up a dictatorship.
