THE STRUGGLE OVER THE IRISH CHURCH BILL.
LONDON, July 8-The Times has another
editorial on the Irish Church bill to-day, in
which it says: "The bill must become q law.
This session Of Parliament must destroy Prct-
estant supremacy and establish religious
equality in Ireland. but not attempt to set mp
multiplicity Of establishments. II the eccle-
siastical property Of Ireland is to be put on
permanent footing, we must recognize these
facts and apply 80 much of the surplus as may
be necessary to supply homesteads for minis
ters OF the whole people.
The Morning Star (RadicaD says: "The Brit
ish people have no right to indulge peers who
would deprive them of the luxury of being
just. Hardly one OF the amendments to the
bill agreed upon by the Lords can be tolerated
by the country"
:. PROCEEDINGS OF PARLIAMENT.
LONDON, July 9-Midnight. the House Of
Lords to night, the Irish Church bill came up
for report from the committee.
On motion of Lord Cairnes, the date "May /,
1871" was substituted for 'sMay 1, 1872"
throughout the bill.
Lord Redesdale moved amendment that
representatives Of the Irish Church and Cathol-
ic Synod, IN cases If vacant bishoprics, nomi-
S0I2CC
from, and that the Grown be empowered to
summon one archbishop and three bishops
from each church to sit in Parliament.
The Earl Of Granville protested on the part
OF Catholics against the amendment, which he
declared was utterly inadm1ssable, and it was
Withdrawn.
The Marquis of Clanricarde moved that
clause %, giving power to convey additional
land to the Church body be restored to it's orr
ginal form. He said the clause, as now amend
cd, revived Protestant ascendancy in the most
hateful form, giving gl-be lands to the Church
body, but refusing them to Catholics and Pres
byterians. 1t was certain the government and
Commons would never sanction the amended
clause.
The Marquis of Salisbury replied that in
moving the amendment he con emplated SINH
lar grants to Catholics and Presbyterians ac-
cording to Mr.. Br,gh, g original proposal, which
MIR. Gladstone had endorsed; but he thought
the retention OF their own globes by the Irish
Church was not Unfair.
After further discussion Earl Denbigh an
nounced that the Catholics had decided not to
accept glebe lands or residences.
The motion to restore clause % WAS lost-4O
to 81.
The amendment embracing the proposal OF
Earl Granville to paw half a million sterling in
money, instead Of handing over private endow-
ments created before 1860. was agreed to. The
report Of the bill was then received.
Earl Cluncarty gave notice that when the bill
comes up for third reading he will move it's
postponement for three months.
A BLOW AT THE LORDS.

7ateiy among known "Progressives:' #
"Sir-In view Of The probable failure of tn 9
Irish Church bill, through the opposition of
the House of Lords to the government, the
Commons and the country, you are requested

be used, in the event of the defeat of that mea-
sure. to sign public call for mass meetings to
consider the best constitutional method Of get
ting rid Of this obstruction to legisls ton.
based upon the expressed will Of the people,"
THE CRISIS IN FRANCE.
NEW YoRK, July ga special to the Herald,
dated Paris, July 8, says the political commo-
tion in France continues. The Emperor has
decided to give way to the Chambers, and
change his system OF government. He meets
with great difficulties in his efforts to com.
plete the new combination, but tho grand
event is expected in the course OF week. The
new ministry will emerge from the "Centre
Gauche" party, between the Radical minority
and the adherents Of the Empire. The mem
hers Of the Centre Gauche' party are for the
Empire, but insist upon the establ shment of o
responsible ministry or Parliamentary Govern
ment, the same as exists in England.
The Peuple Francais, says the Deputies in
the Corps Legislatlr who are now signing an
Interpolation tor political reforms, are men,
bers Of The Tiers Parti and friends Of the gov
eminent. They do not want the Emperor to
renounce his right Of initiative, but ask him
to allow the Chamber to share it. We believe
the Emperor is not disposed to reject their
demand. The situation is not disquieting.
While one side is Dot disposed to make exag-
gerated claims, the other is equally resolved
to make exaggerated resistance. The crisis
will determine in compromise, which will
satisfy public opinion. tv
Minister Rouher, in his reply yesterday to NJ
Favre, admitted that MINISTER'S crisis was
spoken Of, but the great question of changes
which will powerfully affect institutions and So
oety in the future, was bound up with the ,ques-,
tion Of the barrier which must be raised against
revolution. We know not when or by whom
the agreement will be achieved, but we do
know on what vital force the Chamber will rely
TOT preserve society.
RESIGNATION OF THE MINISTRY.
PARIS, July 9.-The evening journals an
nounce the resignation Of the ministers. 1t is
believed Rouher has been commissioned to
form new Cabinet. which will include four
members Of the Tiers Parti. maoifesto from
the Emperor is looked for. ~
