The Irish Church Question.
A London letter OF July II remarks:-Lord
Denb CHS letter TO Lord Deroy is, as might be
expected a clear and manly exposition of The
attitude which he has felt bound to take
towards the conservative party, with whom he
generally acts, in consequence of the Irish
party for not having boldly laced the settlement
of the question in the same way that they did
THAT OF the reform question last year.
There is remarkable article in the number
of the EGinburen ReUie1o just issued on the
subject The writer ind Gates that dsestablish-
ment will consist in the bishops ceasing to sit
in the House of Lords; but that the IRISH Church
will remain part OF the United Church of
England and Ireland, and that the Queen will
Eemaln its head, as the Pope Is the head of the
Roman Catholic Church.
The hHpeTIat ReUteIU points out that "the line
of argument by which the establishment and
disc ndowment OF the Church in Ireland was
advocated by Mr.. Bright at Limerick was rather
the contingent advantages TO be reaped by the
Protestsnts of Ireland than those with which we
are low familiar, and with which Mr.. Quin-
livan and his friends probably expected to be
edlhed-those, we mean, that have reference to
the badge OF conquest and Justice to lreand.'
Mr.. Brigh; would, OF course, have ceased to be
Mr.. Bright had his eloquence failed TO Convey
undoubtedly against his Will-one or two sedi
tious inuendoes. 1t has become favOrite figure
OF speech with those who scarcely care to dis
claim Interior objects, TO exclude their present
consideration by the simple eXDedient ofpo ,tpon-
ing them to a Il ore convenient season. Thus we
were informed that the separation of Ireland
from England is not to be discussed at present,
just as radical newspapers are never tired of
asserting that the position OF the Established
Church in England is not menaced by Mr..
Gladstoues movement against its Irish branch
But wha ever might have been the feelings
with VIII ch Mr.. Brlght's IMAGINARY Protestants
might have been disposed TO regard any delay
IN the repeal OF the Union, his actual hearers
did not appear to approve even OF such a mode
rate concession TO the ordinary English Dreu-
dice against the disruption of The empire"
In the House OF Lords, on The 18th of July,
Lord Re0eSdale moved an address for a copy OF
the coronation oath. He thought it important
that the religious aspect of the question of the
Fdisestabhshment of the IIlsh Church should be
considered instead of the merely political, as
hitherto. While concedng 10 the Duke of Argyll
that gifts to the Church we're not necessarily
gifts tor the service OF God, he denied that the
true test was whether or not they produced
peace and good will. The property of the Irish
Church, perhaps, did not now extend peace and
good will; but that would not justify US who
believed in the truths of Professionalism in secu-
arizng the fund for maintaining and propag4t-
&g those truths. After relerrng to tho very
recent origin OF the agitation Tor disestablish-
ment, 20 the manifest party motives which had
actuated those who raised II, and TO the de-
throneRent of King James H., he proceeded to
criticlse the theory OF "Hlstorlcus" in the Lon
don Times of Thursday, particularly in respect
to the charge OF profanity brought by that writer
against the advocates of a contrary view.
the motion was agreed 10 without discussion.
The Blockade OF MszAtlan.
