IRISH CHURCH BILL.

On the motion for going into committee,
Mr. lIEWDEGATE rose to move that the house would,
on that day six months, resolve itself into the said com-
mittee. He said he was quite aware of the desire
to press forward the proposals of the Government, but he
felt he had also a duty to perform, and that was
to give the bill the most uncompromising opposition. He
ajected to go into committee on the bill of the right hon.
gentleman, because it would effect a state of things that
would be most lamentable for time to come. He objected
to the bill, because he believed it would impair the
supremacy of the Crown and the supremacy of the law
in Ireland. (Loud cheers from the Opposition.) In fact
he looked upon it as a direct invasion of the royal prero-
gative. (Hear, hear, and cheers from the Opposition.)
Colonel S. KNOX seconded the amendment.

Mr. S. AYTOLTN complained of the manner in which
the College of Maynooth was dealt with in comparison
with the Established and Presbyterian Churches.

Mr. GLADSTONE defended the course taken by the
Ministerialists, which he pointed out was justified by the
silence of the Opposition leaders. In reply to Mr. Aytoun
he pointed out an amendment which would clearly de-
fine the trusts on which the compensation would be
granted to Maynooth, and assured him that his figures were
entirely wrong. The lesson Mr. Gladstone drew from the
debate was that the majority of numbers did dot fully re-
present the actual preponderance of the opinion of the bill,
for, while its supporters were unanimous as to their aims
and objects, no two speakers on the other side were
agreed as to the mode in which they would deal with the
Church. To illustrate the divided counsels of the Oppo-
sition, ho went through the debate, and compared the
various speeches. A t the same time Mr. Gladstone did not
complain of Mr. Newdegate's motion, though many of the
arguments did not require an answer. The only argu-
ment which he did answer with any pains was one of Mr.
Charley, that the Throne rested on Protestant ascendancy.
The Protestant profession of the Sovereign was not as-
cendancy in the sense obnoxious to Catholics, nor had
they ever complained of it, end he showed that the most
Protestant of Sovergignsi WilliaM 111., bad in his day con-
templated a measure of religious equality not falling far
short of this.

Mr DISRAELI, though he bad not expected so long a
debate, was not surprised at it, seeing that only four
nights had hitherto been devoted to discno9lng the prin-
ciple of one of the mostimportant measures ever_submitted
to Parliament. Neither did he think' the 'evening wasted
(and this sentiment was cheered both l y Me. Gladsfono
and Mr. Bright), for there had been made some of the
best speeches he bad ever heard. .After animad-
verting on the unparliamentary and unseemly inter-
ruptions of the Miuisterialists, he concluded by
expressing a hope that after this division no further
obstacle would be offered to going into committee, for he
was anxious to convince Mr. Gladstone there that the views
of the Opposition were more decided and compact than he
gave them credit for.
On a division Mr. NEWDEGATE's amendment was re-
jected by a majority of 126.-355 to 229.
The house then went into committee on the bill at 12 30,
but the Chairman left the chair at once without making
any progress.

The Newspaper Bill was read a second timo, and Mr
CARDWELL Obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the.
law relating to the Militia,
The house adjourned at a quarter to 1 o'clock.
