PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS.

The struggle between the two Houses of Parliament
commences this evening, when Earl Granville will move
that the Irish Church Disestablishment Bill be read a
second time by the Upper House. The Eail of Har-
rowby intends to propose that this stage of the bill shall
be postponed for three months, which is tantamount to a
rejection of the measure. The debate will, in all likeli-
hood, last four nights, and the division will probably take
place during the small hours of Saturday morning.
The House of Commons has its work cut out for
to-night, there being thirty-five " orders of the
day" entered for consideration. Prominent among
these are the Endowed Schools Bill (committee),
the Contagious Diseases Bill (committee), and
the Habitual Criminals Bill (second reading). The city
of Dublin will in all probability occupy a considerable
portion of the time of the House. In the first place, Mr.
O'Reilly intends to ask the Attorney-General for Ireland
what course the Government propose to take with
regard to the Dublin freemen, taking into account
the fact that a commission cannot now issue.
Mr. Noel, the Conservative " whip," will endea-
vour to get a new writ issued fur that city in the
room of Sir Arthur Guinness. This, however, will not
be granted before Sir George Grey has asked leave to bring
in a bill for the purpose of disfrancbisingthe freemen in the
Irish capital. The statue of Sir R. Peel will give rise
to two questions ; and Sir F. Heygate will want to know
something about the Irish policy of the Government,
especially the views taken by her Majesty's advisers con-
cerning the Party Processions Act. Sir Percy Burrell
intends to ask for a return of all the expenses consequent
upon the bringing in of the O'Sullivan Disability Bill ;
stating also from what source they have been, or are to be
defrayed.
There will be another morning sitting to-morrow, for
the purpose of getting the Bankruptcy Bill through com-
mittee. In the evening Mr. Pease has given notice to call
attention to the need of an early report from the Royal
Commission, appointed in 18G7, to inquire into the dura-
tion of the coalfields ; and Sir John Hay will bring for-
ward the question of the Flying Squa Iron, and will
propose " that it is inexpedient to employ so large a force
without any specific object where they cannot be
readily available for the public service." The adjourned
debate upon the Hypothec Abolition (Scotland) Bill will
be continued, after which the Libel Bill is to be considered
in committee. The Sunday Trading Bill is also entered
for the same stage. _

Among the measures down for second reading on Wed-
nesday are the Seeds Adulteration Bill and the Sunday
and Ragged Scl.o As Bill. The Married Women's Pro-
perty Bill will be taken in committee, and the adjourned
debate on the Marriage with a Deceased Wife's Sister Bill
is also appointed for Wednesday.
On the following day two important bills the Mines
Regulation Bill and the University Tests Bill—are entered
for committee, and the County Administration (County
Financial Boards) Bill for second reading. On Friday
Mr. Stavely Hill will ask for a select committee to in moire
and report upon the operation of the Commercial Treaty
with Prance ; and Sir John Trelawny will call attention
to the arrangements of the House of Commons.
