COMMERCIAL INTALLIGENCB,

CITY, Two o'CLocir.

The fortnightly share settlements has commenced
to the Stock Exchange, and it is chiefly engaging
attention. Very little fresh business is therefore in
progress ; and the only features are the continued
depression of the railway market and. a further de-
cline in Bank shares, including Bank stock, owing to
the expectation of reduced dividends. The funds are
without change, and perfectly inactive. With the
exception of Danubian, foreign stocks are all a point
or two lower. The statement of the present financial
position of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway
has produced a good effect upon the consolidated
stock of that undertaking.
The Discount Market remains firm bat quiet, it
to 1i per cent.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS—LAST EVENING.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The Dundee Gas Bill was read a third time and passed.
COMPULSORY CHURCH RATES ABOLITION BILL.
This bill was committed and passed.
THAMES EMBANKMENT AND THAMES Di-

PROVEMENT BILL.
This bill was committed and passed.
THE CHURCH IN IRELAND BILL.

The Earl of CARNARVON resumed the debate on the
amendment as tJ the second reeling of this bill. Ho said
that he must express his regret that this bill should corns
before the house at all. He did not int md to enter into
any recrimination Lke that which occupied the greater
portioie of last night. But ho muse p:otest against any-
thing like party feeling in the mater, and regretted that
benefits with regard to Ireland should be mixed up with
party questions. He thought the po,itioa this bill would
occupy must cripple the organisati in of the Irish Church.
Ile contended that the bill intended the disestablishment
of the Irish Church, and it was on that ground that he op-
p )sed the bill. It could not bet be admitted that Ireland
was in a disaffec!ed state, and it was urged that this
bill was to bo the great panacea for all evils.
Ireland, although there had been seventy years
of pain-tine:ital.y government was still in any great die-
turbance likely to be d'saffect ed iu this couutry. On
various occasions it was hoped that Ireland would be re-
conciled t e this country—at the accession of Vt.! Sove leign,
and on many occasions when English justice and
munificence wore exorcised, but it was not so
He had listened attentively to all the objections that bad
been used. To some he objected, of others he approved ;
but he must say that parliamentary securities are of little
value when once the power of practical government is
reversed. When once the Church of Ireland
was disestablished it would cause great hardship
amongst the greater portion of the population
of Ireland, and thus alienate that portion of the population
who had been so generously loyal to this country. He
heard, too, that the ultramuntane feeling was more preva-
lent than ever in this country. This feeling was not
favourable to civil government—(hear, hear)—nor calcu-
lated to advance it. This was the point that struck him
during the debate. It was their duty to seriously consider the
place which the bill occupied. He had looked at the question
itself, and the position in which it was now placed. The
position was made greater in a much greater degree by the
course which had been adopted by Her Majosty's,Govern-
meat. (Hear.) He could not forget that at the return
of the Earl of Da-by as Minister of the
Crown that there was a promise. (Hear.) It was a
Conservative promise, and the question of the Irish Church
was to stand in the van. Soon after that promise was
given his noble friend the Secretary for Ireland male a
speech, in which he intimated in plain language that it
was the intention of her Majesty's Government to endow
a Catholic university —(hear, hear.)—but a university
which should be under no public control. (Hear, hear.)
Neither party w2s satisfied. It did not satisfy the
Roman Catholics, and the Irish Protestants viewed it with
dismay. The noble lord hal termed this religious
equality, or a process of levelling up. This did not suit
any party. But this was not all—there was a deputa-
tion which provided for the increase of the Regium
J)onum, and that no further assistance should
be given to the Roman Catholics. The answer to this
was most satisfactory. The present cry was one which
was justified only by the direst political necessities. If
there was one thing that he condemned her Majesty's
Goverment for, it was the course that it had taken with
regard to the buoying up of the Irish Church.
There was nothing more wanton than this conduct•
The English Church would obtain greater power in the
hearts of the people, while on the other hand the Irish
Church would be in quite a different position. The noble
oarl who introduced the second reading of the bill
was probably not aware of the importance of the ques-
tion. He did not know that the House of Commons
had passed an act which in the West Indies disesta-
blished every right that the Church of England had. In
the West Indies they had a Church which, when this
measure came into operation, would bo much worse off
than the Church of Leland. With these views he could
not take upon himself the responsitility of voting for the
rejection of the bill.

Lord REDESDALE pronounced the bill an act of sacri-
lege ; and contended that the Sovereign, who conscien-
tiously objected to it, would be justified in alleging the
Coronation Oath as a reason for refusing to accept the ad-
vice of any Minister to sanction the disestablishment of
the Protestant Church In Ireland.

The Duke of MARLBOROUGH taunted Lord Carnar-
von with never having lost an opportunity since he se-
ceded from the Government of attacking and bespattering
his former colleagues with political dirt. He denied that
Ministers had ever proposed to endow the Roman Catholic
University, as their scheme contemplated merely the pro-
vision of certain expenses, and not endowment. This
question, however, had been taken up as a political cry—a
last desperate effort to reunite the scattered fragments of
the Liberal party. fro expressed au earnest hope that
their lordships would reject a measure which sooner or
later must lead to the disestablishment of the Church of
England, united as it was iu the most solemn bonds with
the Church of Ireland.

Lord DUITERIN declared that ho was connected with
the most Protestant province in Ireland, and yielding to no
one in attachment to the Protestant Church, yet he could
with an unfaltering judgment give his vote for the bill.
The Archbishop of YORK opposed the measure from a
purely ecclesiastical point of view.
Lord RoMILLY supported the bill.
The Archbishop of AltillAGll said he was sure that
their lordships would never assent to such a measure
until they had that which they had not now, some infor-
mation respecting the disposal of the funds to be derived
from the process of confiscation. The Established Church
in Ireland was felt by all classes of Protestants to be the
bulwark of their civil and religious liberties. Its mainte-
nance was guaranteed by the Act of Union ; its spiritual
influence was never more widely and beneficially felt than
at present ; and as the fruits of its teaching, the Pro-
testants of Ireland were the most enterprising and indus-
trious portion of the community, and in agitated periods
had always been conspicuous in their loyalty. In the de-
gree in which the Protestant Church was depressed would
the Roman Catholic Church be raised ; and if this measure
was adopted the Queen's supremacy would bo eventually
tr_►nsferred to a foreign potentate, and her crown in Ireland
w,uld be almost at his disposal.

The debate was continued by the Earl of Cork and the
Duke of Somerset, who spoke in favour of the bill, and
the Duke of Rutland against it.
. _ _

The Marquis of SALISBURY comment3d on the fact
that the supporters of the bill 131(.1 shown an ostentatious
contempt fur it, inasmuch as they had scarcely said a syl-
lable about the measure itself, but a good deal concerning
every other possible question. The framers of the bill
might have adopted the usual course, and prepared a bill
providing that all persons who accepted benefices in future
should have no claim to compensation ; but as they had
not taken that course, he concluded that they had the
further object of committing their lordships to their larger
and ulterior designs. There was no plan of " disendow-
ment " b3fore the House, and the supporters of the bill
were very chary in reference to the subject. Late expe-
rience had taught him the folly of the "no surrender"
policy, which personally ho should have preferred, but
the strongest fortress was
_of little use when the
garrison would not stand to their guns. With
regard to the property of the Irish Church, ho trusted
their lordships would discard the watchword " spoliation,"
and inquire for themselves by what right that property
could be regarded as belonging to the nation, to be dealt
with now as unscrupulous despots and Parliaments might
have disposed of it previously.
The Earl of lIARROWBY was of opinion that the pass-
ing of this measure, so far from having any influence in
healing the wounds of Ireland, would only have the effect
of opening fresh ones.

The Bishop of KILLALOE complained of the combi-
nation which had been formed for the destruction of the
Irish Church. Tho State had been unable to ally itself
with the Church of the majority in Ireland, and had there-
fore established the Church of the next largest body, and
which institution was identical with that of England.
On the motion of the Duke of ARGYLL, the debate
was adjourned until Monday.
Their lordships then separated.

The SPEAKER took the chair at two o'clock.
FOREIGN CATTLE MARL ET BILL.

Lord R. MONTAGU moved the house go into com-

carry out a policy originated in the clause formally moved
by the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets. He argued
in support of his motion that the bill would act as a great

state of health at the point of debarkation was much to
be preferred to allowing the bats to be sent a long
journey by rail during which the most serious results
would follow. There had been some objection urged
against the bill by the importers of foreign cattle, but he
thought what they had particularly to deal with was not
the effect the bill would have on the foreign trade, but
what it would do for the English an,lS,:otch cattle farmers.
lie could understand the opposition that was raise I to this
bill, as it was a preventive measure in the most extended
sense, and even those who did not approve of the measure
were compelled to admit that there would be an advan.L
t oge of confining the importation of foreign cattle to one
small spot, and the bill ought to establish a foreign cattle
market at a place down the river. Every facility would
be given to the importer and dealer as to the removal and
slaughtering, and he thought the measure was one that
