TuR TINES ON THE CHURCH BILL-THE COM
MONS FIRM.
IN, Typ,es to-day has an editorial on the action
taken by the Commons last evening. 1t says: The
bill will 90 back to the House of Lords in its almost
original shape. The Commons have decided that the
amendments adopted by the Lords are inconsls-
tent with the bill and there is no reason to believe
the Commons will surrender If the Lords persist a
collision must onsue, which will resultin a popular
agitation and a renewal of the measure, with a
fiercer determination to carry it through The Times
trusts that the Conservative peers viii be content
with the presentation of Earl Derbys protest which
usage allows them and not continue their opposition
TO the bill
PROTEST OF THE EARL OF DERBY.
The protest against the Irish Church bill by Earl
Derby is signed by A of the Peers. 1t was entered
against this bill on the ground that 1t looked to the
severance of Church and State, project unrecog-
nized by any country in Europe. The adoption OF
the bill would encourage the designs of those who
want such severance extended throughout the
United Kingdom together With the resumption OF
grants and the confscaton of property The protest
further states that the passage of the bill was yio-
lent stretch of the power of Parliament, which
shakes confidence in all property and especially that
resting on Parliamentary title The protest sets
forth the mpossibty of putting the disestablished
and disendowed Church on the footing and organ
ization of the Catholics; and that this grievance
caused the Irish PTotestants alienation from the
Throne, and stimulation in the demands Of the
Catholics.
REFORM AGITATION-JoHN BRIGHT.
Meetings of the peoplein support of the Commons
on the Irish Church BILL continue to be held in va
riOus parts of the kingdom. John Bright has been
unanimously elected member of the Athen@um
Club The Reform League contemplate an indigna-
tion demonstration against the House of Lords,
ORANGE AND CATHOLIC RIOTS.
At Iurgan in Ireland on the 18th an Orange mob
was pelted with stones. They retaliated by utterly
DESTROYING II houses occupied by the Catholics The
woodwork of the buildings and the furniture were
then carried into the street and burned. Order had
been restored at the latest adyices. At Newry
Orange Hall was attacked by Catholic party. The
occupants fred on their assailants, who were soon
driven off, leaving three of their number on the field
badly wounded
FURTHER DISCUSSION OF THE CHURCH BILL
SPEECHES BY GLADSTONE, BRIGHT, AND
DISRAELI.
LONDON, Friday, July l6-Alidnght.
In the House of Commons tonight the consideTa-
tion of the Irish Church bill was continued.
Mr. Gladstone approved Of the amendment grant
ing e5OO,Oo0 for private endowments made prior to
1876 but moved to disagree to the provision cOntinu
ing the Ulster Grants.
Mr.. Disraeli thought that clear understanding
ought to be arrived at If the policy of the Govern
ment had for its object religious equality, 1T could
not be obtained by humilatng the Irish Church and
leaving it to compete with the most ancient hierar-
chy in ChrstendOm. He thought the proposal OF the
Lords was reasonable.
Sir Stafford Northcote thought Mr.. Gladstones
proposal would convert the Established Church into
a voluntary Missionary Church, contributions for
the support of which could only be obtained by stir
ring up bad feelings against Catholic neighbOrs 1t
would be to the advantage of the Protesants to en-
ioy free and proper endowmens and he asked, as an
act of justice and expedency, that globes should be
left to them.
Sir Rounded Palmer supported the Lords amend
ment. The amendment granting half a million
pounds for private endOwments was agreed to- The
amendment continuing the Ulster grants was re-
ected, by vote of S45 to 24O The announcement of
the result was received with cheers from the minis
terial benches.
Mr. Disraeli intimated that il was not necessary
for the House to divide on any of the other amend
ments except that to Clause So, posponing the dis
position Of the surplus fund.-
Mr. Gladstone moved to disagree to, and Mr. Dis
raeli supported the Lords amendment He thought
the Governments plans not matured, and ought
10 be left for future consideration.
Mr. Bright said the distribution of the surplus was
q difficult matter The Government had made a
minute inquiry as to the suitable destination OF the
income arising from the surplus He had no interest
other than any member of the House, or contrary to
the wishes of the Irish people. Every one acknowl-
edged that the money was the property of the Iish
and ought to be applied to the benefit of Ireland.
THIS plan was open to the least objection.
To leave the question open would only
pave the way for future embarrassment. He APP
peaed TO the House to put obstacle in the way OF
the bill The country bad confded with the fullest
sincerity in the Government desire to make Ireland
an integral part of the kingdom and her connection
with England closer.
The amendment Of the House of Lords was then
rejected by vote Of 200 against 2ls. Great cheers
greeted the result.
