Consultation free.—Only address, 312, Regent-street, exactly facing the Royal Polytechnic. A great many petitions having been presented against the bill, the adjourned debate was resumed by The Bishop of LICHFIELD, who, however, hav:ug made a few remarks, gave way in favour of Earl RUSS ELL, who said he bad on other occasions suggested that various courses might be taken with regard Three Courses of Lecturesion Common and Mercantile Law, Conveyancing, and the La's of Heal Property and Equity, will be delivered in the Hall of the Society in the month of June LAW CLASSES.

A sufficient number of classes will follow each lecture, and be of such duration as shall provide for the efficient instruc tion and examination of the students. The teaching of the lectures will thus be amplif4l, and impressed on the memory by the classes; and tile system of constant ex amination will test, from time to brio, the progress made by the students.

Ha re joiced, however, that the time had at rived, awl that the task had been taken up 137 a statesman of eminent ability, and he must say that all the arguments he had heard in opposition to the bill they were now asked to read a second time were remarkable only fur their weakness. He thought it was altogether giving up the argument in passing by the position of the Church as regarded the feelings of the great majority of the Irish people. Mr. Grattan had in one of his great speeches said that an Established Church ought to be the religion of the majority of the people, and although he did not advocate the disostablishment of the Church as it then existed in Ireland, yet ho thought it but fair that a large endowment should ba made to the Catho lies, and iu that way he would secure equality. He felt that INDIA OFFICE, 29th January, 1869. By order of the Secretary of State for India in Council.

The bill now under consideration he thought one that was well calculated to effect the object in view, notwithstanding all that volunteer firing which had taken place, irrespective of the word of coin:nand being given by the commanding officer. (Laughter.) That the Roman Catholic Church should be largely en dowed was the desire of Mr. Pitt ; and he had before him a portion of the correspondence, in which Lord Castlereagh took part, in which such a step was almost promised at the time of the passing of the Act of Union ; and the re sult of such a feeling in favour of the Catholics the Irish Government left nothing undone which could induce the Roman Catholics to assent to the Act of Union. Had Mr. Pitt lived he thought the promise made at the passing of the Union would have been carried out. It had been said, although he thought now rather late in the day, that concurrent endowment would have been better rather than to bring about equality by the disendowment of the Church in Ireland, but he had many years ago given his support to every measure proposed for the improvement of the condition of his Catholic fellow-subjects, and ho should not now falter at giving his undecided support to that measure, which was but a wise and comprehensive adoption of the prin ciples of Mr. Pitt, Mr. Canning, and Sir R. Peel. The ab sence of agitation for the bill had been relied on, but he warned the house that no one could tell to what anger the nation, if thwarted, might not be stirred. The Duke of ABERCORN objected to the bill on the ground that the feeling of its necessity had originated with one man. WEST INDIES AND MEXICO.

The Puke of ARGYLE repudiated any intention in his speech of last year of implying that he then thought dis establishment aed disendowment could be separated. He urged upon his brother Peers their obligation to pay so much respect to the voice of the House of Commons as t • read the bill a second time, rather becauso they felt sympathy with the national spirit, as interpreted by that house, than because they felt bound by its mere authority. The Bishop of LICHFIELD said he was hardly likely to feel a bigoted prejudice for Established Churches, but he had discovered no reason for the ditcstaLbslanent of the Irish Church, forming as it did one integral body whh the Church of England. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, in the event of in ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre miums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this class of the public the system now introduced will espe cially commend itself, being entirely free from all condi tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium, or from any other cause whatever; while at the same time it absolutely guarantees at decelse, when even a de f suit is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every pi emium paid, ly aring the, same propor tion to the total amount assured as the, number of pre miums actually- paid may bear to the whole number origi nally contracted to he paid. Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.

Lord WESTBURY thought the remedy offered by this bill worse than the disease; the mea.ure was not one of reform, but of destruction. He thought little of the deci sion of the hustings, since he doubted if one elector in twenty thousand understood the terms " iiis,staLlisli ment" and " disendowment." But the decision of - the House of Commons was, under certain circumstances, to be regarded as vox populi, anti for this house then to resi,t it would be to introduce the mischief of an oligarchy. The Coronation Oath and Act of Union, indeed, interposi.d no bar to the bill, fur net one party but all the parties inte rested in those compacts were concurring in releasing the obligation. He concurred, it was tree, in the second read ing, because he believed there was a great injustice to redress; but there was scarcely anything in the bill itself with which he could agree, except the benevolent state ment of the preamble, and that must have crept into it by some accident.

The assured will thus always have the option of retain ing either an ascertained fixed sum payable at decease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac cording t the duration of the Policy, such amounts being set forth on every Policy, and rendering unnecessary any future reference to the Company on these points, as is the case with ordinary assurances. Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as one greatly protective of their interests, and it will likewise commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and others who are in the habit of making advances collaterally secured by Life Policies, as they can at any time learn, by mere inspection, the exact value, either immediate or re versionary, of a Policy of this description. Every Policy issued on this plan will be withrnt any conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds the objections before referred to will be entirely removed, and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as actual securities.

The LORD CHANCELLOR pronounced an energetic reproof on the Duke of Abercorn's insinuation that the bill was a mete piece of ambitious party tactics, and he justified his own position in relation to it. Lord CAIRNS denied that the Irish Reformed Church was a badge of conquest except so far as the ho'ding of Irish estates by Englishmen and its being ruled by the Queen of England were bulges of conquest. His own great objection to the bill was that by disestablishing the Church it put en end to the supremacy of the Crown iu Ireland ; for, as the bill swept away ecclesiastical causes, it thereby swept away the Crown's supremacy in ecclesi astical causes.

Lord GRANVILLE, who rose to reply at a quarter to 3, thought Lord Cairns's question, what would be the I'4 a in the House of Commons of amendments passed by thin house, a somewhat unreasonable one. He observed that the weak point in the position of the opponents of the bill continued to be that they could not say what they proposed in the event of its bring rejected. Some minutes elapsed before the bar was sufficiently cleared for the question to be put. The LORD CHANCELLOR then said—lt has been moved " that this bill be now read a second time," sin ce which it has been ruovei to omit the word " now" in order to insert the words "this day three months." The ques tion I have now to put is that the word " now" remain part of the question. Those who aro in favour of the original motion say " Content " and those who are against it say "Non-content."

The house then again went into committee on this bill, to which there yet remains innumerable amendments t o be moved. The principal topic of discussion to-day was the subje ct of the position of the officials of the Bankruptcy Court, in the event of the passing of the bill, with respect to their retiring salaries. An amendment was moved to test the feeling of the house on this point, it, in effect, declaring that all the officials should retire upon their full sslaries. The Government opposed the proposition being accepted as a general rule, but it was intimated that there might, and possibly would, be can's in which the retirement could be on full salary. The course suggested was that the subject should be postponed until Tuesday next, dur ing which time the matter could be fully considered and provided for, the;Government not feeling disposed to accept the proposition, even after words providing for the retir ing officers accepting " other duties," if found neces3ary. The discussion was carried on up to the hour at which the sitting was suspended. The evening sitting was opened by Mr. S. HILL with a motion for the appointment of a Select Oommittee to itquire into the operation of the Commercial Treaty with France, particularly as it affects the silk manufacture in this country. Mr. BRIGHT, after defending the general policy of the Treaty, denied that it was responsible for the suffering, which he admitted. This he attributed to a combination of the dearness of material, the closing of the Ameri an market by the Civil War, the American tariff, and the changes of fashion. The French trade had suffered in the same way, for though the importation to this country had increased, the aggregate amount of French exports had rather fallen off. Our silk trade was more liberally treated by the Treaty than cottons or woollens. As to an inquiry, as all the facts were known and it c ould lead to no practi cal result, he saw no use in granting it.
