tis it now exist«l was a great Bumpily, and as it
had never fulfilled the posithu it was intended to hold,
the Line le:d now arrived wheu it became disendowed
aid disastablished. It had been sad that the country
had been desirous that Mr. Gladstone Elio uld have an op-
portunity of putting in form his views with respect to
the Irish Church, but tnat it had expressed no opinion
on the subject, but he could not agree that such had been
the case. On the contrary, it appeared to him that the
country had expressed its opinion iu the strongest possible
manner, and that that opinion was decidedly in favour of
the measure which had passed the louse of Commons
by such very largo majorities. (Hear, hear. And that
bill he had how the honour to submit to their lordships.
Her Majesty's Government hoped that one great source of
the discontent and uneasiness that had existed, more or
less, for many years in Ireland would be removed.
The noble earl then proceeded to explain the
efiect which the passing of the bill would
have in Ireland, also the provisions that had been made
for the care of the churches and schoolrooms that then
existed in Ireland, and also the purposes to which the
surplus revenue of the Church would be devetod. The
noble earl then referred to the state of the Church of Scot
land, said the condition of that part of the country was a
strong evidence of the bill, and he concluded by expressinga
hope that their lordships would not hastily reject a bill,
the object of which was to give peace and prosperity to
Ireland. Such a rejection could only produce the utmost
uneasiness, and leave the question iu such a state of un-
certainty that would result in a continuance of that state
of things which it was the great object of her Majesty's
Government to ameliorate and improve.
