TIE IRISH CHURCH B1LL-CoNTNuED DISCUS
SION IN PARLIAMENT.
G0NDoN, June 15.-ln the House of Lords
Tonight, great number OF petitions against
The Irish Church bill we're presented. Lord
Cairnes gave notice Of question to ascertain
If the government intended to endorse the
opinions contained in Mr.. Bright's last letter.
Lord Grey said he felt all the circumstances
under which the bill was selt to this House,
but he urged the Ear. Of HaTowby to recon
slider his motion for postponement, in view of
the conse quences which might result should
it be carried. IF the bill before them passed
at all it must be materially amended. The
House Of Lords now bad, but might not here
after have. the power to amend. The result of
the late elections was emphatically in favor Of
She bill and it would be imprudent for the
Lords to oppose it. If they were successful
for the moment they would soon have it re-
turned, and perhaps in q more Objectionable
form. He urged consideration of the amend-
ments in fair and concihatory spirit, and
exhorted the House to accept the measure
with dignity, and not incur the odium Of the
people by collision with the House of Com
mons, which represented the deliberate opin.
ion of the nation. l
The Archbishop of Dublin complained OF
the hard, ungenerous and illiberal manner in
which the Church was treated, and denounced
the bill. He thought il it was necessary. it
might have been less severe.
The Bishop of st. Dairdo said the superior
sanotity Of property was not to be considered,
but the best means to apply in view OF the pub
lie need.
He disapproved OF the excessive demon
strations OF Professionalism, and he said he
valued it's ascendancy, not as it was poli,i.
cal, but as it was moral and beneficial. He
considered the Irish Church an anomaly. It
had failed to fulfil it's mission and promoted
discord. He urged the passage of the bill to
asecond re eading, and afterwards the introduc-
tiOn Of amendments. ,-
The Duke of Richmond explained that
though ne felt the injustice of the bill, after
great hesitation he had resolved to act in op-
position to his party. He was sensible of the
inexpediency OF popular agitation, and con-
Kinced that the constitutional course was to
pass the bill, after amending the Objectionable
clauses, and leave the responsibility Of accept
ing the amendments or withdraw wing the bill
ON the government.
The Bishop OF Peterborough opposed the
hill. and appealed to the House to act firmly
and impartiaily, and not homiliate themselves
by abjecty abdicating their constitutional po-
sition, and beseeching the nation to spare
them because they we're utterly contemplate
and useless.
Speeches were also made against the bill by
Lords Chelmesford and Clanca,ty, and in favor
Of by Lords Penzance, De Grey and Monck.
The House again adjourned without action.
3ftgrREss DISCUSSION OF THE PARLIAMENTARY
DEBATE-HoME AND FOREIGN TOPICS.
I,osroNs June 15.-The 1ames says the
speeches Of Lord Stratford de Redcliffs and
the Archbishop Of Canterbury leave no doubt
as to the result of the bill. While they dislike
it and ore unable to persuade themselves that
it will have beneficial effect, they advise the
House to assent. The practical good sense
and patriotism OF these speeches contrast
strongly with the tone Of Mr.. Bright's hasty
effusion. a.,- s,s---.....-. ,..,v- ..aa...e
Tho Telegraph says: "After the first nights
debate on the Irish Church bin, the issue can.
not be doubted"
The Star says: "since the speech of the
Archbishop of Canterbury, everything appears
immediately favorable to the bill.''
Mr.. Bright has written letter to meeting
in Birmingham, in which he says II the House
ofLords delay the passage Of the Irish Church
bill, they will stimulate the discussion OF sub.
jscts which might slumber for years. The
value OF the constitution which gives ma
jority in one House in favor ofand in the other
House against, the given policy, may be ques-
toned. Why is it that when the Crown and
Commons are in harmony with the nation tho
Lords are in direct opposition? AS long as the
House OF Lords act in harmony with the coun-
try, they may go on for long time. but when
they thwart it's course they may meet with un-
pleasant accidents.
He hopes the counsel Of q few good and wise
men in the House may prevail.
The Admiralty Court has ordered the sale of
the steamer Alexandria, built for the Con1ed.
crates, and directed the proceeds to be logged
with the court
In the contestat Nottingham for Sir Robert
Olifton's seat in Parliament, Charles seely was
elected over Digoy Seymour.
Murphy, an anti-Irish agitator, has been ar
rested in Birmingham.
!. The Times to-day says the restoratioa of
tranquility in Paris was the only event which
could reasonably be anticipated where the citi-
zens we're indifferent and the military force
immense. It rejoices that the result was oh

Nothing now hindsrs the Emperor from
adopting the constitutional course which the
elections invite. MO .
Another battle in the streets might be made
cause for an indefinite postponement OF public
liberties. Paris. on second thought, chose the
more moderate among the Liberal candidates
for the Legislature, and by her Indifference re-
buked violence. There can be mo excuse now
for holding the city too hostile for conciliation.
