Church Troubles in ireland.

zene, writing from London, England, gives
the following version of the situation in
regard to the disestablishmcnt of the Irish
Church
Meanwhile England and Ireland -es-
peciallv Ireland-are in a situation increas-
ingly tempestuous. The intensity of the
public feeling may be inferred from the
fact that such were the gr0ans of the stu>
dents at Trinity College, Dublin, for Earl
Speucer. who accompanied Prince Arthur
on his visit there, that His Royal Uigh-
ness precipitatelv retired. The Earl is in
favor Of 6isestablishment. and he therefore
shared with Maynooth the basso displeas-
ure of the Orangemen among the boys of
Trinity. who added insult to insul. by
rounds of Kentish fire in the presence of
the Prince. Dublin Is indignant, and
the Liberals get the benefit of this as well
as other Orange demonstrations.
And the Rbandmen are bringing their
fuel by arm loads to the flame. They be-
gan n i-Orangeism, but have long since
degenerated into bandlttl, whose spirit
is one of spite towards the land owners,
and whose object is to do away with that
class. In the central counties of Ireland
they reign almost unmoiested. They are
now especaliy audacious In the county of
cstneath where the blood thirsty shiI-
laleh has been substituted for the gentle
sceptre of Victoria Murde multiply. =
Police attends the carriages OF the gentry,
and lamps are left unllt in the houses. at
night, for feal of the highwayman' bullet.
So what with the Orangemens and Rlband-
men, and no surrender Bishops, the
Green Isle is in a distressing plight.
A telegraphic dispatch, dated London
April 3Olh, gives the following proceed
ings of the British Parliament:
The speech of the mayor of Cork, at
the recent banquet In that city, was the
subject OF long debates I'D both houses OF
parliament this evening. The attention
of the members being called especially TO
the mayor 5 language respecting " Farrell,
who attempted to assassInate Pnnce AL
fred, in Sydney, New South Wales, as well
as TO his reference to the Prince himself.
The tories upraided the government with
being the indirect cause of the presen
state of ireland.
In the house of commons, Mr. Bright
thought the condition of affairs In Ireland
to be no cause Tor panic ; but urged that
both parties should strive to remedy the
land grlevance-the question at this ses
sion of parliament. For himself, he wound
not remain Oh the treasury bench If he did
not feel that he was not honestly and eDer.
getlcaiiy advocating measures which would
effect great saiuiary changes in Ireland. -
The settlement OF the church question
would not stay the present ouJrageo III that
portion of the United Kingdom but IL
was tie first example that any parliament
has ever given that 1t Was willing to dc
justice To Ireland and was In earnest ot
that intention.
Mr.. Gladstone followed in support OF
lr. Bright. He had always found the
Protestant ascendancy In the form OF re-
lIglous establishments was the paramount
cause OF the mode III which the power OF
the landlords had been used, and by which
the relations or the tenants were vitality at
| iected. He thought that Lord Stanley had
anticipated too much IN demanding pol
! icy upon the land question. He feared
thas mlsapprehenslon would attach to any
representation that might be given now
but it was necessary to avoid the appear
| ance CT having suggested measures from
fear Of panic, or upon Il momeutary Occa-
cason. He concluded by saying that the
government was anxious TO substitute for
the present condition OF the state, conf
dence in the country, and loyalty to the
crown.
MIR. Claiborne Hardy, conservative,
urged the Immediate removal of the mayor
of Cork He considered that the govern
ment was bound to declare a policy on the
land question, and thus dissipate the un>
reasonable expectations of Ireland. The
subject was then dropped"
