I'LL. D1EraeG followed. lie Haid that, although the
abstract principles Of tho bill been peatcdly
discussed, there had been but LITTLE discussion OF
the dttails Of its provisions. he hoped that

concurrent endowment, which tho Lcrda had In
view yesJ different scheme from that OF Mr.
Pitt, which contemplated an established Catholic
Church aide by side with the Protestant Church,
and under 6tate control. Concurrent endowment,

the House could be induced to agree TO 1t It was
certain that the country, especially the large con-
atttuencies, would never sanction It. He strongly
advocated the appropriation Of the s1rp!us funds
As originally proposed, with q pror1ss seseFG1ux
to Parliament control over them.
Af. Dlarueu thought the House ought to agree
10 the amended preamble. lie asserted that the
House Of Lords did not desire the reservation Of
the surplus for purposes Of concurrent endow-
neut, and ridicused The plan for its appropriation.
lie hoped the House would prevent such waste Of
public funds, and not allow thcm to be dealt with
IN this loose and vague manner.
Nit. Bull, member TOT Dublin CQirerkty thought
the restoration Of the original preamble would be
fatal to many advantages secured 10 tho Church
~ the Lords.
Nj. Bright admitted that At q 3or,ne, time he
Ind proposed something Ike tho present scheme
OF concurrent endowment but he declared TINT
the public feeling WIS now totally opposed 10 re-
tg1ouB endowmentB, and no Minister would be
able to carry such scheme. lie felt that ali ptans
sayc the ono originally proposed BY the bill we're
so fu Of difficulties that 1t would hc Idle 10 dis
CUES them.
slr ROUNDED Palmer said although rot support
CT Of concurrent endowment, lie considered that,
under the circumstances, grants for residences to
cerFy Of the great MINORITY could not he refused
ont Of that fund which, coutrarJ to hta ideas they
had declared Tas Hrongfu1ly taken from the great
majority, and Used for the rehg-
1ous purposes Of the minority. Unless
fomc prorosA Of this kind was agreed 10, they
would never establish religious equality or satisfy
the expectations Of the Irish. They should not
allow their anti Catholic tFe;udIces to refuse this
Email boon to the great majority.
