THE MEETING AT CHESTERFIELD HOUSE.

The London correspondent of the Dublin Evening
Mail declares that the meeting at Chesterfield House
on Saturday " has disclosed the entire hollowness and
treachery of the Disraeli Ministry (sic) and of the
whole bench of English bishops. Not a single
member of either of those classes paid the Irish
Protestants the barren compliment of attending
to listen to their complaints." Upon Lord
Cairns the correspondent is particularly severe.
He goes on to say that there was a regular intrigue
set on foot to prevent the meeting of the deputations,
the object being to hide from the English nation the
sentiments of the Irish Protestants, and so allow the
Conservative Peers to escape the duty of throwing
out the bill. After the conference it was settled that
small deputations should wait upon four or five peers
whom it was desirable to confer with, among
them Lord Westbury, the Earl of Shaftesbury,
end the Earl of Derby. The correspondent mentions
that the deputation gave it clearly to be understood
!' that the present movement in opposition to the
Church Bill had no party significance ; that the
Irish Protestants expect this ; and that if it was not
afforded in good faith by the Conservative party,
farewell for ever to all connection between them
and it. The sentiment was adopted by all the
delegates present.with cheers, and it was not dis-
owned by any subsequent speaker. Nay, there was
even a slight shiver when a phrase of courtesy,
,which fell from Mr. David Plunket, seemed to indi-
Rate a submission of the case too absolutely to the
discretion of the Lords, and Mr. Plunket hastened
to add his testimony to the fact that in the general
opinion of Protestants the question is one of
principle which ought not to be compromised."
The London correspondent of the Leeds Mercury
confirms the now prevalent impression that the Lords
hare given up the game. lie says :
" In political circles the truth is being recognised that,
so far as the Irish Church Bill is concerned, the game of
the Opposition is played out. And the Peers, who are
generally acute and far-seeing men, have for the most
part recognised this truth, and will act accordingly.
There is no talk now of the possibility of rejecting
the bill altogether, and it is only Lord Grey and one
or two noblemen who are as averse to any reasonable
line of action as he is, who propose seriously to alter the
bill in committee. The Marquis of Salisbury and Lord
Cairns have prevailed over their more hot-headed Peers,
and except for the purpose of saving their own dignity
the Conservatives are not likely to make any alterations
in the bill. Those which they do make will not be of a
serious character."
According to the Morning Herald,the deputations
