IIK- AN E.
Mr. LOCKE asked PA
the First Commissioner of Works
by whosa authority a pavement was b3ing laid down on
the west side of Park-lane, thereby reducing the portion
of ground taken from the Park for the purpose of the road-
way from t 8 to less than 12 feet.
Lord J. MANNERS said it was being done in accord-
ance with an agreement entered into between the Metro-
politan Board of Works and the parish of St. George's,
Hanover-square, and a license from the Crown.
Sir R. PEEL asked the Lard Advocate what were the
duties and emoluments of h Alaiisty's High Commis-
sioner to the General As ,ennbly of th 3 Church of Scot-
land, and out of what fund the Cominiss Liner was paid ;
what is the total amount of salaries paid to the several
officers in the department of the Lord High Commissioner,
and omit of what fund such salaries are paid ; and, whether
the Established Church of Scotland was fa a minority in
that part of the United Kingdom
The LORD ADVOCATE said as the High Commis-
sioner had to hold levees and represent her Majesty, he
received the sum of £2,000 payable out of the consolidated
fund. The suns bad been paid out of the hereditary re-
venues of the Crown in Scotland before they were sur-
renthred. lb thought the number of members of the
Established Church was about one-half of the population,
although others might think differently.
SCOTCH REFORM BILL.

In reply to Mr. M.oNcaEIFF,
Mr. DISRAELI said li, proposed to take the Estimates
first on Monday next, and then the Scotch Reform Bill.

THE IRISH CHURCH.

Mr. VERNER asked whether,- having in view the
speeches and resolutions made at a large meeting yester-
day, the right hon.:member for South Lancashire intended
to press forward his measures for the destruction of the
Irish Church and the supremacy of the Crown. (Cries
of "Oh, oh.")
On the motion for the house going into committee on
the second and third resolutions with respect to the Irish
Church,
Mr. GLADSTONE said he would now just say one
word with respect to the question which had been put to
him, although he felt it was beyond the line of Parliameu-
tory practice. The majority of the house were in favour
of the resolutions as far as they bad gone, and lie had
every reason to believe that the great majority of the
people were of the same opinion. (Hear, and No, no.)
in proceeding to move the second resolution, he said charges
had been made against the party with whom he acted
that they were not dealing in sincerity with the subject
which now had been so long before the house, but that
they were using it for party purposes. (Clear, hoar, from.
the Ministerial benches.) He did not want to beady
assertions or negations, but he said openly that the
sincere desire of all on his side of the hoUse
was t,:e general wish and desire to see the measure carried
iu order that the good results that were anticipated might
follow as soon as possible. (Hear, hear.) There were
many reasons why he should go ou with the Resolutions,
because supposing they were to leave the question for
future consideration, all the time that had been given to
the subject this session would be lost, and great interrup-
tion to the public business might occur. (Hear.) When
the matters referred to in his Reeolutions had been em-
braced into an act of Parliament, from that moment he
believed that a great deal of opposition would ba
done away with, and many who now were op-
posed would be found pressing forward ameasure for the
final settlement of the question. (bear, hear.) That
would give a practical shape to the course it was
intended to pursue, and such a proceeding could
not entail any inconvenience on the Government
or the discipline and spiritualities of the Irish
Church. Ile proposed to embody the resolutions into
a suspensory bill extending to the month of August, 1859,
and which would stop all appointments in the Irish
Church up to that time, and which would allow a small
margin for Parliamentary discussion. The provisions of
the bill would extend to all Episcopal appointments, all
laymen or capitular offices of sinecures, and all such ap-
pointments as were not private patronage. (Hear, hear.)
The reacts that he made that reservation was because had
he included those appoiatinents it woul t have brought
about the question of injury to private rights. (Heir.)
Ile thought the adeptiou of such a course would be

the one niost c esduciyj to the public interest, and when
the Resolut ous were assented to by the house, he intended
to follow thew up by bringing in a bill which would carry
out the purpose Le had just spoken of.
On toe seeoud resolution being put,
Mr. G. HARDY said he should imitate the right bon.
gentleman in avoiding- all acerbity on this occasion,
as lie thought that, with a view of bringing the business
to au end in order that the Government might do as they
intended, the right lion. geutlem in had adopted the
most convenient course. Of COLI iS3 her Majesty's
Guyer:inn:let could give no as -out to the remain-
ing resolutions, nor could they
.approve of a bill
which they had not yet seen. The c.mrso, therefore, that
the Government proposed to take was to meet the resolu-
tions with a simple negative, which would prevent the
trouble of the house dividing upon them.
Af,er a few words from Mr. NEWDEGATE and Mr.
WHALLEY,
Mr. DODSON put the second resolution to the house,
when it was carried by a great majority.
Mr. GLADSTONE, in moving the third and last reso-
lution, said he had no desire to bring on any (discussiont
on the bill before the consent of the Crown was obtained.
Mr. D. GRIFFITH said it appeared to him that the
right hon. gentleman (Mr. Gladstone) had made up his
mind that the consent of the Crown was certain to begiyeu to
his proposal, but it such an arrangement could be made
in that house, it appeared to be that the consent of the
Crown was a mere matter of form, and came to nothing.
Ho should like to know what the right hon. gentleman
would do supp,sing the consent of the Crown was not
given to his proposal. The hon. gentleman continued his
address to the house amidst the greatest impatience.
Mr. DISRAELI said he did not think it necessary for
hint to trouble the committee, but he must say he did not
see there was any assumption on the part of the right
hon. gentleman as to the character of the answer that
would be received to the address of the House. When the
resolutions were passed it would become the duty of the
Gov-eminent to consider them and then advise her Ma-
jesty. (Hear, hear.)
Mr GLADSTONE said ho never thought of proceeding
until the reply of her Majesty had boeu received to the
address.

The third resolution was then put by Mr. DODSON, and
carried amid loud cheers.

Mr. LAING- then withdrew the following resolution
which he had on the paper:—" That this house is of
opinion that while the principle of disestablishing the Irish
Church has been affirmed by this house, the question is
tun nuportaut to be settled without an appeal to the con-
stituencies created by the New Reform Acts ; and there-
tore that it would be the duty of the Government to ar-
range the course of public business so as to enable the
appeal to be made at the earliest practicable opportunity.
