LONDON, June 14.-In the House
Of Peers to night, in anticipation Of
the debate on the Irish Church Bill,
there was full attendance, all the
seats on the floor being occupied at
the opening of the sitting. The gall
leries and loboies were crowded with
spectators, and in the streets In the
vicinity of the House Of Parliament.
a great throng of people were present.
In the House a great many petitions
were presented against the bill. Lord
Granville then moved that the bill
.pass to its second reading. He had
always thought the Irish Church was
an anomaly. and failed to fulfill the
position for which it was intended;
that it was a great injustice, aud
should be iegislated on IN a reason
able, wise and moderate way.
He traced the history of the Sus-
pensory Bill Of last wear, and said the
resignation of the Disraeli Ministry
showed their acceptance Of the deeis-
ion of the country In favor of discs
tablishment and dIseudowment. After
explaining the provisions Of the bill
under consideration, Lord Granville
continued: The Government did not
desire to sever the spiritual cOnnec-
tion between the Irish and English
Churches He would leave the ex-
planation of the endOwments to his
colleagues. He declared there was
nothing in the act of union to prevent
the passage of the bill. He did not
undervalue that act bat maintained
that it was not unalterable; nor should
it be allowed to stand in the way of a
measure deemed necessary to the ma
jority of the people aud constituencies
ii Ireland The bill had no effect on
the Royal Supremacy.
After referring to the threatened
opposition, and commenting upon the
bigotry of past times, he appealed to
the Bench and the Bishops to weigh
well their course. Nothing was more
suicidal than to point to the principles
on which the Irish Church stands as
that on which the English Church is
TO stand; for this step was not the
/ prelude to the -disestablishment. 1t
was due the dignity of the House,
after due protest, to allow the bill,
endorsed by the voice of the country,
10 pass, The House. of Peers has
great power for good. but there is
one, though, it does not possess. It
has not more power than the House
of Commons. 1t has not power to
thwart the national will. 1t was. s.said
that the method of conducting the
| bill in the Commons was offensive,
and the House of Lerds had been
advised to be coneiiatory In their
present declaration. aa..e q
He we'll knew the value of coneil-
liation, but there was no necessity for
it here, for he would assure the Lords
that, though { the Liberals adhered
strongly to the policy Of the bill, they
would gratefully welcome and care
fully consider any alteration of detail
proposed by their Lordships. More
than this he could not say. sf
The Earl of Harrowby moved that
| the second reading of the bill be. post
poned tor three months. Ee opposed
/ the bill as revolutionary, and in VIC
lation of the coronatiOnp oath, and of
! the act of union. The eircunstan nces
were insufficient to justify its intro
ductIon, aud its results would be7to
diminish the number Of Irish Protest
ants. It was no act of injustice. he
