LONDON, June THE Liberal journals de-
plore the course adopted by the Conservative
Peers in respect to the Irish Church bill.
| The Times predicts that if the policy of re-
/ lection is carried cut, the result will be that
the House of Lords will be obliged to accept
i some bill at later period, with a sense OF hu-
initiation. The bill must pass The nation by
the voice of the House of Commons has so pro-
| nounced, and cannot recede.
| In reply to a conservative deputation to-day
| Lord Derby said he spoke as unit in the
| House of Lords, not wishing to influence the
minds or letter the action of others. While
many friends of the Irish Church wished to
| amend and not reject the bill for its dsestab-
| lishment, he was persuaded that rejection was
| the only course. He believed it would be re-
| jected by large majority. Such course was
the safest in such revolutionary step. He
felt satisfied 1T would receive the assent of the
conservatives OF the country, who would con-
tInue to increase their support if coercion of
the Peers was ATTEMPTED. q
meeting OF conservatives was held in Lon
don tonight, and resolutions were adopted
condemning the Irish Church bill.
1t IS understood Mr.. Gladstone proposes Ia
case the House of Lords rejects the bill to pro-
rogue Parliament immediately, and inaugu-
rate new session in order to insure tne pas
sage of the bill of his, proposed 70 create
new batch of Peers, including the Marquis of
Huntington, Lord Amery, the eldest sons of
most of the liberal Peers and Scotch and Irish
Peers without seats in the House of Lords.
The Pail Mall Gazette regrets the bad effect
of the position the House of Lords have as
sumed will have in Ireland, particularly in re-
gard to the land question.

LONDON, june Letters from Paris state
that strong pressure is brought to bear on the
undecided elections to prevent the return Of
opp sltlon candidates. The contest between
d. M Theirs and Shee, and between M. M.
Faive and Rochefort, are regarded with much
interest. The Emperor, it is asserted, views
the probable election of M. Rochefort as a per-
sonal II not deadly insult. The ultimate re-
salt OF the elections and their effect on the gov
ernment are regarded with great curiosity
Inc government is fully alive to the heaviness
OF the blow and the diffiultes it will have to
meet in future. Its friends tender advice
Freely, but the only concession possible is
parliamentary government, which the Emper-
or regards with particular aversion. The gov
eminent is inclined to do something as soon as
possible and with the least Inconvenience If
the ballotting results in favor of Rochefort,
steps will be taken Immediately.
