LONDON, June Sit is announced
that the predetermination of the House
of Lords to reject the Irish Church bill
has caused intense excitement, and
threatens to preciPitate an eventually
bitter conflict between the Lords and
Commons. 1t is rumOred in some quar-
tiers that the announcement is made to
feel the public pulse aud learn how far
the House of Lords dare go. 1t is the
general impression that the bill will be
thrown out on the second reading.
The Standard, Tory, argues that the
peril OF the proposed action is too OBJ
vious to be ignored, even by the least
thoughtful or conscientious of the her
editary Legislature, but says that the
Lords have resolved, in compliance with
the urgent demands Of tens and hun
dreds of thousands in every part of the
country, to risk all ia q contest with the
imperious Minister and an Overbearing
majority in the Commons. Should they
be crushed in the struggle, not only
will the Church and the Constitution
fall With them, but the liberties OF
Euglard will be sacrificed to the as
cendancy of the Democratic principle
which is the most dangerous foe to per
sonal and political freedom.
1t matters not whether those who ap
proved regret the decision to give bat
tie. There is nothing for them to do but
to take their places in the ranks and
fight for all they hold dearest, in the
full certainty that all is at stake. Let
the whole Protestant and Conservative
power of the realm be erected and give
the Lords such support of public opin-
ion as to restrain the struggle within
the limits of'the constitution, and make
n self-willed, Overbearing Minister, al.
ways at heart the enemy of the Lords
and likely to be exasperated
by his unexpected defeat, feel that there
are limits he dare not pass. Already
have his organs threatened that which
If done, would call for impeachment
1t is necessary that he be made to fee
that he dare not execute the threat, ans
that he must not only deal with the
Lords, but with the wealthy, resolutc
and influential classes Of England ant
Ireland, who are tho actual majority Of
the English natien.
The Morning Post shows that 4 rejec
tion of the bill will not prevent its ulti
mate passage. and diScredits the idej
that the Lords will refnse it secon'
reading.
The Star, in strong Language, say
that the Irish Church must not oumbe
the ground after December, and tina
the least said on that subject will b,
proclaimed from the house tops. Tht
House of Lords is not more logical
desirable, or eXcusable inst itutiOI
than the Irish Church, and in the fever
neat that will follow the rejection o.
the bill heat will lie generated such
as mas not been seen since the people o.
Birmingham threatened to march on
London in the name of reform. and
cries will he heard calling for the down.
fall of an absolute chamber that No
longer disguises its anarchism of exist.
ence by hereditary descent.
With the pure blindness of buzzard,
these misguided noblemen requir,
further proofs to be convinced OF tn,
opinion of the country. 1t is not wortl
while to attempt demonstration o
that opinion. When the issue come
their Lordships will be wise in tbei
time.
The News says the vote of the Lord
WILL at the worst, postpone for few
months only the fate of the Irish Church
