DEPUTATION TO MB. GLILDSTONg.
(THIS DAT.)
A deputation from the Hyde-perk Domonsfra4.
Lion Cm:mitts, against the Irish Church waited
this forenoon upon Mr. Gladstone at his residue/se,
ks Carbon..hosiorterraee, to aware him of the mad
limed support of the working elaares, to emcee!.
the hope that he would not be discouraged by
the adverse vas of the House of Lords, end to intone
him of the intention of the working sass of Leaden to
hold a demonstration in Hyde-park to-nionow afarnace,
condemnatory of the recent vote in the Lords'. The de-
putation consisted of Messrs. Puilen, Bartlett, Torrey,
Gallagher, Ballard, &a
Soma members of the deputation having spoium,
Mr. Gin:imam said he was always passed to
readye a deputation of real working men, such as the
one now before him. With respect to the object of
their visit, he thanked them for their sympathy,
and was pleased to hear his conduct on the Irish
church question was approved by the great aims of the
working olemes. He ooad some the deputation be had
not the slightest intention of flinching from the work be
had undertaken, but was prepared to carry it through
to a triumphant issue. It would be • tough job,
but he was confident of success. He was not
at all discouraged by the vote of the House of
Lords, and bad no doubt they would be alive to the
public opinion as it would be expressed at the next elec-
tion. He desired to see Ireland happy and contented,
and her people not driven by England's injustice
to • foreign country. The disestabliAment of the
Irish Church, accompanied by an improved land
tenure, would do much to bring about • better
state of things in that country. With respect to the
demonstration alluded to, that was a matter for the con-
sideration of themselves, and about which he was not
called upon to express an opinion, farther than to My
that some good reasons had been urged by the deputation
why it should be held. He had no doubt order would be
preserved by those attending it.
The deputation then retired, thanking the right bon.
gentleman for his courteous reception.
