Douglas county reports all crops as look

THE IRISH CHURCH BILL--FrNALE.

Gable dispatches from London Of the 23d
inst, give the annexed account of the closing
scenes in the final passage of the Irish
Church Bill in the House Of Commons
In the House of Commons this evening
Mr.. Gladstone said that under q heavy sense
of the responsibility but with profound salts
faction, he moved that the House agree to
the amendments to the Irish church bill in.
serted by the Lords yesterday, without ex.
ceptions or reservation He reviewed the
amendments and said the substance of the
government proposals remained virtually
unatered He asked the House to diao~ra
every wosa that might have been uttered
tending to embitter the question, and apollo
gized for any wrath Of feeling he might have
shown. He congratulated the House on the
satisfactory settlement arrived ut, praised
the ability and moderation with which the
debates had been conducted by Earl Gran
vile and Lorn Cairns, and expressed the
warmest wishes for the prosperity Of the dis
established church.
Sir Roundell Palmer approved the course
which had been taken, and thought the point
agreed upon was one all must accept. He
| thought the compromise was substantially a
concession to the church, and concluded by
complimenting Mr.. Gladstone on the tone
and temper of his debate.
Mr.. Disrael followed. He said the com
promise was not an unconditional surrender
Most of the essential points in the amend
ments had been assented to and he thought
that the house and country would deem the
compromise fair and Just. We had been on
the eve of a collision occasioned by mis-
understanding between the two houses at q
time when each had deported itself in a
manner to win the possession of the comb
dence and satisfaction of the country. Sure.
| " all would hail with satisfaction and ratify
with pleasure the compromise arrived at
which was satisfactory and ststesmanlike.--
At the conclusion of Disraeli's remarks the
amendments were agreed TO without divis.
ion. The result was received with loud
| cheering.

it was too long. An examination of the
