erence 10 certain proposed resolutions regarding the
Church In Ireland strongly condemned the yaelaJon
which had marked Lord Russe's conduct in public
throughout the whole OF this proposed legislation.

strongest assertions this subject went on 10 cay that
he wished know whether it the intention Of the
promoters OF tho resolutions the opinion Of their
Lordshps House this most sudden decision ~ 20 tho
Irish Church He referred to the views formerly enter
tanned by Lord Russell this subject and IN doing
gave interesting OF the inner life OF Cabinet
81 years agOan account which he was sorry 70 say only
himself and Lord Russell among the Ministers OF
that time, had survived TO give. No matter what
might be the present effect of the resolu-
tions when carried, as he feared they would
be- he advised his late colleagues not TO think Of resign
ing their Offices under any amount OF opposition how
factOus. Lord Russell quite in error when he
sought draw parallel between the course which was
taken by him 81 years ago. aud he hoped certainly that
the parallel sought to be established would not 30 far
as restore him and his friends to office The Tesolu-
tions the House of Commons really called on Her Maj
esty to act open defiance Of series Of acts Of Paria
ment and the result Of their passing would be TO put the
two branches OF the Legislature at almost recODoablo
variance On the most important constitutional points
he thought the resolutions wrong and he wished TO
know II il was the intention OF Lord Russell 70 ask how
far the House Of Lords cOneurred with such
the effect Of which he pointed out likely to be iDiu
rious in the extreme. .|L

somewhat extraordinary. He said he would not discuss
the resolutions but then at once proceeded to decantOn
their effects as IL that not prejudgng the effect OF
the resolutions themselves lie might reply, as Mr.
Burke once did that he "vared his means 70 secure the
consistency Of his ends" He did not wish TO see mere
parchment bond of union between England and Ireland,
but to have both countries united In heart and interest
lie reviewed and vindcated the conduct OF the CABINET
TO which Lord Derby had referred defended ITS acts ana
asserted his own consistency He thought it prema
Lord Derby to ask what course the promoters OF
the resolutions intended take; but 10 gratfy Lord
