on Church property, and ending in Communism. There-
fore be urged. implored, adjured that this measure of
aggro elms on Irish Church property—a measure which
was neither an act of policy, or uf justice, or of the will
of the eountry—should not pos. These thetas he
worked out with • nub of speech, and in most easy
enured manner. Amongst other things he avowed
himself, at all sorts of perils, to be an advonVe ef
"levelling up." It is undeniable that he made some
vigorous points, touching special sympathies amongst
his aethenoe ; for now loud applause, and now laughter,
wei• mingled with unprivileged clapping of hands in
the gallery. In short, be made, particularly in its latter
part, what may he salted • rattling speech from his
point of view, and he kept the House in perpetual
set attioc, mirthful eepseially. Fall de Gray and
Ripon, with great earnestness, defended the bill, which
was opposed by E.rt Climearty ; and after Lord Monet
hal also spoken in its support, the adjournment of the
debate was moved by Earl Malmesbury, on bibalf of
Lord Dei by.
On Teursday Lord Derby resumed the debate before
an assemblage which might have minified any orator on
any occasion. Though possibly there might have been
detected a weaknees of the voice, and generally a lower
tone of speaking, than heretofore, there was no sensible
waning of the vigorous elocution and fiery argumenta-
tion (however paradoxical that term may seem, for he
is declamatory even when he Is arguing) which has ever
been Lord Derby's characteristic as a Parliamentary
speaker. He spoke chiefly against the principle of the
bill, and dwelt much on the danger of alienating the
Protestants of Ireland from this country. He said that
he should vote against the stoma reading, but stated
that he wasonly speaking for himself, end he concluded
—My lords, lam now an old man. I have already
passed the allotted threescore years end ten. My
official life is entirely closed, my political life is nearly
so, and, In the course of nature, my nataral life cannot
be long. That natural life commenced with the bloody
=emotion of the fortnideble rebellion in Ireland which
immediately preceded the Union ; and God grant that
the clam of it may not witness a renewal of the one or
a dissolotiou of the other. I do not pretend to foretel
the future; but whatever niu be the issue of this grave
—whatever may be the result of your lordships'
deliberations upon this measure—for my own part I say
that—even though it may be the last iiM I that I have
the honour of addressing year lonlships—it will to my
dying day be a satisfaction to me that I have been
enabled to lift up my voice against the adoption of a
measure of which the political folly is only equafied by
its moral delinquency-01nd cheers.) Lord Kimberley
replied in an areumentatiwe speech based on • personal
knowledge of Ireland and the Irish. The Bishop id
Ripon, denounced the measure as immoral, and on
that ace innt politically inexpedient. The Duke of
Cleveland expremed his intention of voting for the
second reading, and thought the bill might be rendered
more perfect by amendments in committee. Lord
Redeedsle warmly opposed the bill, eihioh was sup-
ported by the Duke of Devonskina and the Marquis of
Salisbury.
On Filday the debate was resumed by Lord Russell,
whom speech consisted of " rerniniweenees of the lest
half -century," by one who has taken part in the chief
political struul.s of that period. Although the veteran
Liberal would prefer that plan of concurrent endowment
which originated with Pitt, and although he took the
strongest exception to certain clauses of the present
measure, he lent it hie emphatic support. The Duke
of Abercorn's speech was chiefly remarkable for the
•xtraordinmy declaration that the burst ef bandit, to
the Irish Church Establishment, represented in the
House of Commons by a majority of 120. had been
brought about by Mr. Gladstone alone. He urged that
the measure sea hateful to all Protestants, and dis-
tasteful even to the bulk of the Roman Catholies of
Ireland. The Duke of Argyll combatted the suggestion
that disendowinent was not equally deemed by the
country with disestablishment 'rhe Bishop of Lichfield
began by saying that, having been fur m .ny 10•111 • ci.s•
established and &windowed Bishop in New Zealand, he
come to the consideration of this question with a
certain irapsrtiality. His deoislip, however, was against
the Ihff totally, and on the ground that no ease of
injustice or inapplicability had been made out
against the Irish Church. Lord Westbury gave
vent to mush sarcastic railing at the motives and
the choice of the time at which this Bill was brought
forward and altogether it was little doebtlal that be
had not • partials of love for the measure, but he con-
cluded charseteristicilly with • statement three,
though he concurred in the second reading of the Bill,
be concurred in nothing that it contained. The Lord
Chancellor promoded to reason out the Bill on i's
principle., and to deal with the objections which had :
been advanced against it. This be did with grave
earneatness, and with the skill of • prastieed arguer.
Lord Cartes, in his ordinary calm and maimed style
argued in the strict sense of that word. When he was
I pretesting that, by the bill. the Queen's ecolesiastical
supremacy in Ireland would disappear, he was
not positively *old, if be was not actually
very warn ; his manner may be described se
earmostnees—ieed I Somehow he was even less mai-
' paieioned when be was using such big words as that
iliastablishment was equivalent to the airoeptsurce of
infidelity by the State. When be came to generalise
wore, and to talk of the effect of the hill on hostile
'arias in Ireland, his style &mooed, and there were
certeinly some cheers. After en eloqoent peroration.
