IMPERIAL PARMAXENT

HOUSE OF LORDS-LAST EVENING.

Tho LORD CIIANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack
at five o'clock.

The Railway Extension of Time Bill was read a third
time and passed.
The Indian Railway Company's Bill was committed
and passed.
LONDON COAL AND WINE DUTIES BILL.
This bill was read a seem I time.
THE BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.

The Earl of MALMESBURY said that it would be
remembered that some attention had been called last year
to the business of the house. With regard to the question
of the proxies, he might say that they were the privilege
of the estate, and the committee stated that it was quite
right that they should exercise this privilege, and he
should therefore wove that the following new standing
order be added to the roll of standing orders :—" That the
practice of calling for proxies on a division should be dis-
continued, and, to prevent this order being lightly sus-
pended, that twice the usual length of notice be given of
any motion for its suspension."
Some remarks were made by Lords Carnarvon, Bodes-
dale, and Lyveden.
Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING
The SPEARED. took the chair at 4 o'clock.
THE IRISH CHURCH.

A great number of petitions were presented both forlnd
against the disendowment of the Irish Church.

PUBLIC BUSINESS.

Mr. BOUVERIE complained that the orders of the
day should have been appointed to take precedence of
notice of motions on Tuesday. The Marine Mutiny Bill
was fired for a third reading that day as the first order, an
arrangement altogether irregular and unprecedented. if
the arrangement was drawn into a precedent the right
of independent members would bo seriously interfered
with, TO the opportunities that now offered themselves
for bringing forward motions.

The SPEAKER said there was nothing irregular in the
proceeding, and there were many precedents for such an
arrangement.

MUTINY BILL.
This bill was read a third time and pissed.
MARINE MUTINY BILL.

This bill as amended having been considered was
agreed to, and read a third time.
QUEEN ANNE'S BOUNTY.

Mr. BOUVERIE postponed the moving for a select
committee to consider the matter until a future day.
IRRIGATION (INDIA).

Mr. KINNAIRD postponed moving for a select com-
mittee on this subject. He did so with great reluctance,
becauso 100,000 persons perished by famine a short time
ago, the calamity being no doubt accelerated by the wan t
of irrigation.

THE IRISH CHURCH.-THE ADJOURNED
DEBATE.

Mr. G. lIA.RDY then resumed the adjourned debate.
He said the resolutions brought forward for the dis-
endowment of the Irish Church had been placed before
the house by the right hon. gentleman in a manner that
showed how great was the issue of the conflict. The debate,
as far as it had proceeded, had been carried on with
much bitterness, and it was plain from that circumstance
the object of the resolutions was not confined to the
disendowment of the IrishlChurch, but to an attack
upon her Majesty's Ministers. (Hear, hear.) The
opposition was not confined to or carried simply by hon.
gentlemen opposite, but the Ministry had been attacked
on the flank by a noble lord who himself some
short time ago accepted a seat on the same
bench as himself. He felt it ono of the highest honours
he could attain to sit in the Cabinet of the right
honourable gentleman who now was the first Minister
of the Crown, and in order to do so he could
safely say he had sacrificed no principle. (Hear, hear.)
The present moment, when public business was much in
arrear, in his opinion, was not the proper time
for the bringing forward of such an abstract reso-
lution as that submitted by the right hon.
gentleman—(hear, hear) -because the present Parliament
could not pledge that which was yet to assemble. The
question had been suddenly started—(hear, hear)—it
had taken the people by surprise, and he felt
that her Majesty's Government could not be
condemned for asking time before a matter of such great
importance was decided. (Hear, hoar.) Although
the matter had not yet become fully known fo
the country already the rustle of petitions had
been heard, and he felt certain that when it became
more generally known not only would the number of those
petitioners increase, but that increase would include many
members of the Nonconformist body. (Hear, hear.) The
Government had been condemned for not meeting the motion
with a direct negative—(hear, hear)—but he might say for
himself that he was not at all indisposed to take such a
course ; on the contrary, he was perfectly ready and pre-
pared to do so. The right hon. gentleman then went on
to comment in strong terms on a letter which the right
hon. gentleman (Mr. Gladstone) wrote to one of his con-
stituonts in 1865. The writer, in answer to an inquiry
tO hiti4 Tifffti um the loch Wallop, went Oli W day
