LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 13.

IT is vain for the Times to endeavour, by its usual
hardihood of assumption, to explain away the force of
the important truths which the division of last Tues.
day night attests. It is plain that the question of the
Irish church, far from being dead in the minds of
men, still lives and moves, and is ready to be called
into activity three, and that the silence to which it
was so long consigned is not only broken, but is no
more likely to be resumed. That upon the motion
of an individual member, at an advanced period of the
session, and in the absence of any demonstration
of popular feeling on the subject, one hundred and
three gentlemen should have been found voting in
opposition to the government, whose pnlicy they
usually support. while of the adherents of that go-
vernment not one-fifrh of that number could be in-
duced to sustain them, is a fact not to be forgotten or
expl tined away.
Nor is this all. Not only did five sixths of the
liberal parry vote with Mr. OSBORNE and against
Sir GEORGE GREY on this truly memorable occa-
sion, but of that number it is remarkable
that the great majority were English and Scotch
members. Many of the Irish representatives are at
the present period of the year obliged to attend the
summer mewl. Some of the catholic members, we
believe, are reluctant, from scruples of a religious
nature, to vote upon church matters. Two of them
wbo hold office in the administration—we allude to
Mr. Snell. and Mr. Bethew—walked out of the
bona amid the cheers of their party on the eve of the
division ; and finally there were some wbo paired.
So that in reality the strengh of the Iri-h
section of the liberals was not tested by
any means ; and with the exception of some
twenty votes the minority may be taken u the spon-
taneous expression on the first attempt to resuscitate
the question of the opinion of England thereon. As
such we hail it. As such it will be hailed by every
free heart in the kingdom. As such the despairing
spirit of Ireland will jowly recognise end regard it;
and as such it will ever be loudly, and we are sure
enthusiastically, responded to.
The Times would fain cover the deplorable posi-
tion of its ministerial friends on the occasion by at-
tempting to direct public attention to other cinsidera-
tions. But it will not do. The analysis of the majority
who voted for the perpetuation of sectarian ascend
aucy in Ireland reveals a proportion of three toriee
to every wbig who voted. We have hcird much of
statesmen changing their principles, and of leader!,
whose principles changed, being forsaken by their
party. But it remained for the present Home Se-
cretary to pert= the feat of losing his party while
affecting to retain his principles ; and of leading such of ,
his colleagues as were weak enough to follow him, ;
with a handful of abashed and bewildered
adherent'', into the midst of the enemy's camp,
to be saluted with scoffs and jeers. TF e best and
friendliest friends of the government refused to stul-
tify themselves by pronouncing en offhand negative
on a question to which for the greater part of their
political lives they had invariably given the opposite
answer. The majority was composed of men who
have never been known save as the enemies of popular
