the Irish Church was again resumed, the
suspension bill being under consideration.
b Mr.. Gladstone made speech explaining
the character and intent Of the measure.
He said the Liberals would not consent to
subsidize any religions in Ireland. BE ex-
pressed his amazement that the Tories
should now threaten resistance to this bill
after yielding assent to the resolves of

it was the duty Of the House of Commons
to proceed with the movement of reform
which it had commenced. Mr.. Gladstone
closed by moving that the bill pass to Sc
scond reading.

second reading be postponed six months,
and supported this motion with speech Of
much warmth. He declared that the bill
was surprise, and meant confscation. It
misstated the Queens reply to the address
Of the House concerning the disposal Of
ecclesiastical patronage, and robbed the
Grown Of some Of its greatest prerogatives,
including the veto power. he ascribed the
origin Of this movement to the enemies Of
the Church and the State, and made an
earnest appeal to all Protestants to OPP
pose 1t.
The debate was continued at great length.
Mr.. Disraeh at late hour rose. He
defended the action of the Tory party in
resisting the bill. The policy which had
created this measure was disastrous to the
country, and its direct tendency was to the
abolition Of both Church and State.
Mr.. Gladstone replied. He said the step
taken by the Liberal party was not hostile
either to Professionalism or to the interests of
the Church of England.
The debate terminated with Mr.. Glad
stones speech, and division took place on
the motion that the bill have it's second
reading, with the following result; For
the second reading, Bill; against it, 25S !;

ceived with loud and prolonged cheers from
