LONDON, July 2l.-The Irish Church
bill was returned from the Commons
TO the Lords to-day. Earl Granville
thought the Commons had not dealt
superciliOusly with the Lords. Out of
sixty amendments only thirteen had
been absolutely rejected. Lord Cairns
complained in strong terms that the
Government had not adhered to Gran
ville's pledge that the Lords amend
ments would be respectfully considered,
forpn the faith of this assurance, many
opposed to the bill had voted for its
second reading. He thought Gladstone
in the other House, had used language
unworthy of himself of his POSITION
He hoped the Lords would insist upon
the reservation Of u surplus for future
disposition on the amendments with
respect 70 the cnrates and to commuta-
ton of life interests. Other amend
ments, being of minor Importance,
might be given mp in order not to pro-
woke collision between the two Houses.
Russell will vote against the pream-
BILE, and if the bill fails the Govern
meut will have itself to blame.
Discussion proceeded at great length,
nearly every Lord explaining the
motives controlling his vote. The
Lords divided ON the motion Of Earl
Granville to restore the preamble, with
the following result; For, IS against
us; majority against the Government
IS. Granville moved adjournment
that he might consult his colleagues,
and at Il late hour the House adjourn
ed.
Gladstone was received with great
cheering by the Commons after the
decision of the Lords. IL is rumored

it.
