AMENDMENT.

Mr. YORKE proceeded to state that the first division
would not be taken on Lord Stanley's amendment, and
he at first thought the noble lord intended to withdraw his
amendment. If the division was to be taken on the
motion "that the werds proposed to bo left out stand part
of the question," and it was carried, the noble
lord would be precluded from taking a division on his
amendment. As the communication was by no means
clear he had to ask the noble lord whether he intended
to withdraw his amendment or not, whether he will state
the exact position of the motion.
Lord STANLEY said he was not the author of the
communication referred to; but this he could say, that no
change was proposed to ka place in the position he had
taken up when ho gave notice of his amendment.
Lord CRANBOIINE said he had to ask Mr. Speaker to
point upon which the division would be taken. Was it
to bo considered a division on the main question that the
houso resolve itself into committe. (Hear, hear.)
The SI'EAKER said there having been an original mo-
tion made, an amendment had been proposed, therefore
the house was practically engaged in a discussion on the
amendment. (Hear, hear.) It would be quite fatal
to the amendment if, on a division, the proposition
"that the words proposed to be left out stand part
of the question be carried. (Hear, hear.) Then the main
question would come on for consideration. (Hear, hear.)
In reply to Mr. WHALLEY,
itlMr. GLADSTONE said if the endowment of the Irish
Church were to be taken away, the consolidation fund
would have to be relieved of all such charges as the grant
to Maynooth College.
Mr. ROEBUCK then resumed the adjourned debate by
presenting a number of petitions in favour of the dison-
dowment of the Irish Church. He said the subject which
at present occupied the Parliament was one of the
utmost importance, and each member of the house
would have to state boldly the view he took of the pro-
position, and ho had no hesitation in saying that ho
should vote in favour of the resolution of the right hon.
gentleman (Mr. Gladstone.) He was one of those who
looked at any Church establishment as a bad instrument
for teaching religion, and it was idle to say that which the
house had established it could not disestablish. (Hear,
hear.) He hoped that no party trick was intended on
the present occasion, and that if they on his side of the
house ousted the Government, as ho thought they would
—(hear, hear, and laughter)—the right hon. gentleman who
had brought forward the resolutions would be prepared to
introduce a bill to carry out his object. (Immense cheer-
ing.) In his opinion, if Ireland was separated from this
country it would be cutting off the right hand of Eng-
land, and the house was called upon to do everything in
its power to maintain Imperial rule in Ireland unimpaired.
That rule must be maintained under all circumstances. He for
one would never assent to any proposition to weaken or
disarm one part of the British empire from the other.
(Cheers.)
