LONDON April 1.-THE debate in the
House of Commons on the Irish Church bill
was resumed last evening, when Mr.. Disraeli
moved to omit the following clause from The
hill : "Ou and after the lSt of January,
1871, said union created by the Parliament
between the Churches Of England and Ire
land shall be dissolved. and said Church
shall cease to be established by law" Disraeli
supported his proposition at considerable
length, and contended that the above clause
destroyed the supremacy of the Crown, and
places the Church at disadvantage.
Sir Robert ColIver and Sir Raundell Pal.
mers spoke in Opposition to the amendment.
Mr.. Gladstone also spoke against the amend
ment. He criticised statements made by
Disraeli. He thought, notwithstanding this
clause, the supremacy of the Crown would
continue to exist, but in another form. If
the amendment was successful it would alb
solutely destroy the bill, and the union of the
Churches would continue, but that union
must not be enforced by Parliamentary
bonds.
Disraeli replied and admitted that his in
tention was to strike a mortal blow at the
bill. but if the motion was accepted, the Gov
ernment could still continue their disendow-
ment policy.
