NEW YORK, July pa special to the Her
aid dated at London yesterday says the COM
promise on the Irish Church bill was the result
of fear ON the part of the peers of the eonse-
quences threatened by collision of the two
Houses of Parliament. Last night the tory
lords held a long meeting at private residence
and resolved to repudiate the Marquis of Sails
bury and put themselves under the lead of
Lord Cairns. The latter was authorized to
make peace with the Ministry and express the
willingness of the Peers to yield. To-day Lord
Cairns sought an interview with Earl Granville
and gave in the submission of the Peers, where
upon the Cabinet agreed to the compro Mise
announced tonight The prompt and loud
expression of popular Indignation terrified the
Lords and thus has been postponed for while
the threatened agitation.
There was a full attendance of members and
spectators in the House of Commons this even
ing. When Mr.. Gladstone rose to speak he
was greeted with great cheering. Under a
heavy sense of responsibility, but with pro-
found satisfaction, he moved that the House
agree to the amendments inserted yesterday
without exception or reservation. He called
attention to the excison from the preamble of
the words specifying the appropriation of the
surplus, but as the point was better indicated
in the bill, he thought it would be unnecessary
to require theoretical and abstract declaration
in the preamble. The re-insertiou of the date
1871 was not token of victory, but an indica-
ton of the joint and harmonious working of
the Houses. BE reviewed the other amend
ments which had been met with objections,
and said the substance of the government pro-
posals had remained virtually unaltered. He
asked the House to discard every word that
ton, and he apologized for any warmth of
feeling that he might have shown. He con-
graduated the House on the satisfactory settle-
ment which had been arrived at and praised
the ability and moderation with which the de-
bates had been conducted by Earl Granville
and Lord Cairns He hoped the disestablished
church would develop within her qualities by
which great career would be marked out for
her, and that God would speed on her new ca
reer.
Sir Roundell Palmer, the member for Rich
mond, approved the course which had been ta-
ken. 1t was honorable and fair to both sides.
The point agreed upon was one which all must
accept. In case of an adverse decision we must
bow to the superior force Of those who control
events, and when that time has come it is folly
to refuse to see and acknowledge the fact. He
thought the compromise was substantially
concession TO the Church. and concluded his
speech with compliment to Mr.. Gladstone on
the tone and temper of the debate
The Right Hon. Mr.. Disraei said that when
the difference between the Houses was only
matter of detail, he thought that delay In set
tlement was only doubtful advantage, and
might result in disasters and difficulties OF no
inconsderable kind. The compromise was not
an unconditional surrender. The most essen
tial points in the amendments had been assent
ed to, and he thought that the House and
country would deem the compromise fair and
just. He hoped that the present would be the
last occasion when political circumstances
would be dealt with by abstract principles
We have been on the eve of collision occa-
stoned by a misunderstanding -hatween- the
two Houses at a time when each had depurueu
itself in manner to show the possession OF
confidence and satisfaction of the county,
Surely all would hail with satisfaction ana

which was satisfactory and statesmanlike.
After the conclusion of Mr.. Disraell's speech
the amendments were agreed to without dl-
vision. The result was received with great
cheering.
