The Suspensory bill of Mr. Gladstone. in regard to
the Irish Church, having passed the House of Com
mons will be debated in the House of Lords to-mor-
row, and probably before this letter reaches you its
| fate will have been announced by a cable
| telegram. All parties agree that the Lords
will reject the bill, although the vote will
| be closer than is expected, because the use of
proxies is now abolished by the lords and every man
who wishes to vote be in his place. The liberals
| are quite prepared to see the bill thrown out ana |
am at liberty to describe what their policy concern

| The liberals expect to obtain majority at the ap.

| make Mr.. Gladstone the Premier. Then the Irish
Church bill will be again introduced will again pass
I the House OF Commons and will again go to the
Lords. II there be any doubt OF its passage Mr. Glad
stone. as Premier, will have the power to create
sufficient number Of new peers to pass the bill But
II is not anticipated that there will be any necessity
for this step. The House OF Lords will give way
when the crisis comes just as 1t did upon the Reform
bill Perhaps. as in the case OF the Corn Law bils
the tory benches may belempty when the bill passes
the lords: but that makes no difference as to the
result, and 50 the disestablishment of the Irish
Church may be regarded as an fdu dcCOnlpH. Let
me add as singular phase OF affairs in England
that the London Times declares that the lords will
be despised II they refuse to pass the bill now. To
such pass has aristOcracy come in England

add that the troops fully justified the opinion
