The Irish Church bin has passed the English
Hause Of Lords but amended SO as to make it a
very different affair from the bin as it came from
the House Of Commons As was said by one of the
lords in the debate reported by the cable, instead
Of di-estabshment and disendowmeut the lords
have made it measure of establishment and
rc-euiovment They adopted the principle of
concurrent endowment. 90 that is, they have
endowed both the English and the Roman Catho-
lie Church establishments in Ireland This was
by No means satisfactory to the Catholic peers,
and it is TO be presumed that il will not be salts
foctory to the House of Commons The deter
mination of the lower House to accept no mate
rial M. idcation Of the bin has been distinctly
indicated, and the House Of Lords will iouHrIe-.
have au opportunity to reconsider its action.
