London, Feb. 9.—The Press Association, an organization having its headquarters in this city, and engaged in the collection and distribution of telegraphic news in Great Britain, has issued a dispatch stating that Gladstone is at variance with his colleagues in the government on the question of its resignation. The Premier, it is said, wishes the ministry to resign immediately, while the others desire to wait until the new Parliament assembles. It is also stated in the same dispatch that Disraeli has already arranged his ministry.
The Times this morning advises the government to resign during the time intervening between the conclusion of the elections and the assembling of Parliament. So far, in the Parliamentary elections, 509 members have been chosen. Of this number 267 are Conservatives and 242 liberals, and home rulers. One home ruler has been returned from the city of Cork and two from the county of Kilkenny.
It is probable that Right Hon. Edward Cardwell, Secretary of State for war, will be raised to a Peerage.
