LONDON, April 28-Midnight.-In the House
OF Lords tonight Lord Derby made speech,
IN winch he attacked the resolves of Glad
some on the Irish church, and accused Lord
russell OF vacillation of opinion on the ques-
tlon lie said the resolves adopted by only
one House of Parliament were without bind
ing force on the Crown, but if bill was duly
passed it would then be obligatory. He criti-
cIzed Earl Russelps altered views on the SUBJ
iect, and hoped by the defeat of his scheme
Ireland would be saved from discord
Lord Russell followed and said he was
amazed to see Lord Derby opening this ques-
ton here while it was yet pending in the
lower House. He declared with much earnest
ness that the peace of Ireland was the aim of
his life. He defended his course on the ground
that Inconsistency on means was not incom-
patlble with consistency in the end sought TO
oe obtained. He acknowledged that he pre-
ierred his own plan Tor solution of he difficult
ties in Ireland, but he accepted the plan of
Mr. Gladstone as the most practicable under
the circumstances. If the resolves pa sed the
douse he should submit an appropriate bill,
which he believed would be sustained by the
Commons and by public opinion, and would
without doubt command the assent of the
Lords. He hoped the Ministry would not at
tempt to influence the Crown adversely to the
will OF the Commons, as a division between
the Crown and Commons would be most de-
plorable
In the Commons, Mr.. D'Israeli, in answer to
a question from the opposition benches, said
the Ministry wished for the fullest discussion
OF the Irish church question.
MI Gladstone hoped the debate would not
delay the business OF the House, and said he
depiored the time wasted last night in party
recriminaton.
