I
Inc General belief Is that the
House Of Lords will strip the bill of
its disendowment features and leave
the discs enlistment only. This IS
likely to prove more embarrassing to
the Ministry than the direct rejection
of the bill.
Rumors are revived here of an at
tempt to drive John Bright from the
Cabinet.
LONDON, June 19.-In the House of
Lords, after the close of the report
last night, Lord Conns spoke against,
and Lord Halfway and Earl Gran
Vile IN favor Of the bill. Amid great
excitement, the House, at 3 o clock,
passed the Irish Church Bill to its
second reading, bya vote Of l79 Tor to
146 against.
LoNDoN, June 1g.-In the House
of Commons, last evening, a motion
was made to 90 into committee on a
| new operative commercial treaty with
1 France, the present treaty expiring
/ before the next session. Mr.. Bright
opposed the proposition in a strong
/ speech. and was followed by others,
pro and. con- at length, the House
| divided, with the following result:
/ For, 101; against, 155. Majority
Tassari, the Spanish Envoy Ez-
/ traordfnary and Minister PlenipOten-
tiary to England, has resigned.
The Times, to day, has an article
on the passage of the Church bill to
it's second reading, and says: The
bill has passed by a large majority,
and a pea ceable termination of the
session is now assured. The great
triumph is not so much 4 triumph for
the Minister as it is for the power Of
public opinion aud thc machinery of
the Constitution. Looking back into
the history Of this question, it is I'M
possible not to be impressed with the
fact that England is, above ali things, |
we'll governed The scandal will now
be removed that arose in mistaken
policy, upheld by the whole people |
and endured through the languor of |
public opinion, but the mind and I
conscience of the people were at
length aroused, and the fabric in |
stantly fell.
The Post says the great debate
must increase the peOp e's estimation
of the House of Peers. Their judg
ment furnished additional proof of
the utility of the Upper House.
The second reading IS but prellm-
mary moulding Of the dill into a form
better to satisfy the nation.
An analysis of the vote in the
House Of Lords last night shows
that the Archbishop Of Dublin and
fifteen bishops voted against the sec
ond reading The B shop Of St Da-
vid's is in favor and the other pre-
lates abstalned from voting.
An immense Orange DEMONSTRATION
occurred at EBneskillen, ireland,
yesterday. A great procession, music,
banners, speeches, t0asts, &c, were
the prominent features. lt is esd-
mated that 10000 people were present:

LoNDON, June 19--In the House
of Lords, last night, Lord Hatherly {
warmly supported the bill, He said ,
that. whatever were the shortcomings Z
of Messrs. Bright aud Gladstone, want ,
of clearness was no1 one of them. {
Last year both of them uuf0lded the
policy to be pursued. He regretted q
the long delay in au act Of justice, :
aud asserted that it was the right Of
the State to interfere and regulate {
for religious and charitable
purposes, when opposed to the public
good, aud when il could be better aad :
more usefully appropriated. He said
the acts Of Elizabeth clearly intended +
the Church to be that of the nation. +
He drew a feaful picture Of the o
manner In which the policy had been f
carried out, but said it had entirely
failed, although seconded by the a
bishops and CLERGY. The attempt to +
force a hostile Church on a people 4
was the root Of all the evils ia Ire
and, and exonerated the clergy of Fl
The present day from all completely n
IN these acts, but the odium was at I
.aehed and descended to them. The !
present measure was only one to "a
a new epoch In the religion i
Of Ireland. instead of ruluiug-to /
yive the Church a fair field aad n
,hance of concihatiug the people. T
He strongly defended the just ne =
,essity and sound policy Of the bill. He ,
argued with the idea advanced by !.
some that it would be better to devote T
part of the funds aecruing to edu- T
,ation, but as the nation was unable =
20 agree to its use in that way, there :
vas no course to be pursued but chat
specified in the bill The bill was S
'ully endorsed by the country. In
conclusion he exhorted the House to
/ calm consideration of the great p
measure irrespective OF party feeling. 4
md expressed his belief that all
would unite IN the desire to settle the
question on a fair and impartial basis. 7
After speaking nearly three hours, I,
Lord Cairns sat down, amidst pro- q
onged cheering from the ConserYa- T
i've benches. h
Earl Granville replied to Lord \
JairRs briefly, and then, at 3 O'Clock, 7,
amid the widest excitement, the =
House proceeded to divide on the I
question, Shall the bill be read the =
second time?" The result was an i
bounced as follows: For, 179; against, n
80. The widest cheer
ng from the Liberal benches greeted
he announcement, which was taken
up by the paftisans In the lobbies and :,
he crowds of people awaiting the Z
'esult outside the building. The =
Lords Immediately adjourned. q
At midnight Lord Cairns took the II
door in opposition to the bill He -
said the subject had been fully ex- "
hausted, together with the charges Il
against the Church, as being a badged ~
Of conquest and mission that had !.
failed. The assistance required to =
enforce the penal laws in Iceland, the 4
denial of the rule that tbs English :
Sovereign is IN possession of the :
and, and the fact of an Irish Parlia- 4
ment setting at London, were greater "
badges of conquest. The Church !.
proclaimed Christianity and truth to g
all who were willing to receive; so :
