by no means convinced HIN 0f the necessity o'
granting so large sum "a 2O,000,OOO. Unless
loss were proved, he thought there ought not to
be compensation; but, at all events, he considered
eco 1000, 600 far too much, especially when he
considered how this country was pressed to SINK
ing by taxation.
Sir r. Peel reminded the House that their re.
solution for eco, 900. 600 had been adopted By the
House Of Lords:-how, then, could they resclnd
the resolution He considered that they were
pledged to the sum. The argument heretofore
might be good; but now he considered 1t to be
wholly unavallins. He conceived that they were
precluded from altering the sum, and that the
more decidedly, as he was no party to the reso'u'
ton.
| Sir F.. Wilmot wished to ask the r.. Hon. Ba-
ronet if the maximum were fixed at P20 600, 900.
whether it was not in the power Of Parliament to
reduce il?
Sir r. Peel replied that the power Of Parlia.
ment undoubtedly might sanction IT'S reduction
but he spoke against the propriety OF what was
urged.

ing of the sun at EGO. 100000. They therefore
were not bound BY the resolutions
Mr.. Stanley again coutended that justice
required compensation.
MIR. O'Connell remarked that in the original
proposition nothing was said about gift; where
was justice then!

| In the House of Lords on Tuesday, the
| 5Oth of July, the Marquis Of Lansdowne move d
the order of the day for the third reading OF the
! Irish Temperatures Bill
The Earl Of EIdnn opposed its passage, and at
tributed the measure to the bill for Catholic etnan
cipation. The Noble Earl concluded by declar.
! ing that he would rather sacrifice his existence
than consent to bill which proceeded upon a
principle that would entirely destroy the Protes
tant established episcopal form Of ecclesiastical
disci plne in this country.
Lord LongfOrd also opposed the bull. The
Duke Of Wellington said that he would not be
drawn into a discussion on the Catholic question
in consequence Of what had fallen from the No.
bic and learned Earl (Eldon.) The Noble and
Learned Earl attributed the present measure to
the act of 1929; but many more events occurred.
between 1929 and 1855, and even previous to
1929, which might account for the measure. He
would not therefore discuss that subject.
He then proceeded TO the discussion of the me.
rits Of the bill as it stood before the House, and
pointed out many objectlonab features in it,
Although. however. lie dsapproved Of many Of
the provisions Of the bill, Il was impossible Tor

situation of the church If Ireland, the more he

three wears past the ministers Of the church OF
Ireland had received no tithes. and they were
now depending on the government, and vote of
the other House of Parliament, for their subsis.
tence. 1t might be asked whether the measure

the church? 1t was impossible for him TO answer
that question:; but of this he was certain,-that
sooner or later the measure must be altered in or
der to afford relief to the church. For the pre-.
sent the bill would give the church breathing time,
and enable It to continue its beneficial labOrs for
s"me time logger Many persons thought that as the
till was not likely to produce all tn benefit which
the Noble Lords opPu,ite predicted. it ought up.
on principle to be opposed; hut his opinion
that they ought to do mat which best for the !
church, and which would enable it 10 continue
its existence.
