vd speech in its favor. -

tiles Of the Hastings 1t rested on no firmer
basis. Mr. Gladstone had pledged himself and
his followers to the destruction of all that was
deemed sacred The destruction of the church
was urged by envy and jealousy The speaker
maintained that the church had always fulfilled
it's mission.
Mr.. Gladstone then rose to conclude the de-
bate. he reviewed the course of the bill and
the arguments which had been made for and
against. He declared that new policy was
necessary for Ireland, and this was the frst
step demanded by the unanimous voice of the
majority.
Mr.. Gladstone resumed his seat amid deafen-
ing cheers, and the House divided on motion
that the bill be read second time, with the
following result: For the motion 36o; against
the motion $50; majority for the Government
118. The announcement of the result was
greatly cheered in the House. The cheers
were taken up by the people in the lobbies, and
the news was thus conveyed to an immense
crowd outside the House, who joined in the
House at O'Clock Wednesday morning ad-
