night, the Irish Church Bill, as restored from the
House of Commons, was taken up. Earl Granville

and statesman developed in the late debate, and
the moderation shown by the opposition towards
its close. The Government thought some OF their
amendments good, and some bad. and others quite
inadmissable, but did not consider that the Com
mons dealt with it superciliously or contemptuous-
ly, for. of sixty amendments, only thirteen have
been absolutely rejected. He analysed the amend
ments having the effect to re-endow what the bill
intended to disendow, and said that concurrent en-
dowment the Government was obliged to consider
a breach of faith with the Constitution, while the
overwhelming majority of the House of Commons
and public opinion were opposed to it. In respect
to q disposal of the surplus fund the more he saw

the House not to adhere to its amendments. lie

struck out of the preamble of the original bill.
Lord Cairns complained in strong terms that the
Government had not adhered to Earl Granville's
pledges that the Lords amendment would be re-
promise, many who objected to this bill or its own
merits, were induced to vote for a second reading.
Gladstone had used language unworthy of himself
and his position. He contended the amendments
which had been rejected, except two, had been dis
posed Of without the slightest consideration. He
hoped the House would insist on q reservation of
the surplus for future disposition.
On the amendments in respect to curateS and
Communication of life interests, Earl Kimberly said
the Government could not give way.

Ireland. and urged the Government to concur in
the amendments.
Lords Halifax, Clanricarde and SALISBURY sup
ported the Government, and the debate was con-
tinued to a late hour by Earl Russell and Marquis
Salisbury, who urged resistance to the demands OF
the Government. The House was finally divided
on Earl Granville's motion to restore the preamble,
with the following result: for motion, 80 against,
173. Earl Granville moved an adjournment in or
der that he might consult his colleagues, which
was carried.
LONDON, July 21.-A short time after the divis-
ion against the Government in the House of Lords
Mr.. Gladstone entered the House of Commons.
His appearance was the signal for a remarkable
outbreak of enthusiasm cheer after cheer came
from the Liberal side, and the business of the SEES
sion was entirely suspended.
The press to-day is occupied on the subject of
the vote in the Honse of Lords. The Times is sat
is6ed that the bill may be passed at this session if
the principal agents on both sides divest themselves
of the passion and prejudices by WEIGH they are
Influenced. The imminent peril is that the heat of
party may be carried into the Cabinet and hasty
resolution be taken, should there be no action till
another session. The Lords have rushed upon the
certain consequences of defying the national will.
The division of last night has revealed the spirit in
which the bill has been opposed from the first.
The Telegraph thinks the Lords have virtually
settled the bill for this session. and a new bill will
be presented more stringent in form and it must be
accepted. If anything was needed to damage the
church and arouse the country. the passionate re-
sistance and reckless debate of yesterday has fur
nished it.
The Nears considers the country in the midst of q
constitutional crisis. The Lords are giving full
swing to their reckless impulses, and have rushed
into collision with the Government, the Commons
and the country. The duties and responsibilities
of the situation should be weighed by the ministry
with the calmness and confidence of men sure OF ulti-
mate and speedy victory. The bill when presented at
the autumn session will become a law with great
speed the Lords will not require The threat OF the
creation of new Peers to lead them to assent to
more string gent measures. The country must decide
whether an irresponsible debating society is to be
allowed to interpose between it and its deliberate
purposes and convictions constitutionally eX-
pressed.
LONDON, July 21.-The House of Commons to-
night was in full attendance. The members petit
ton, praying for a rejection OF the amendments of
the Irish Church Bill, was presented and received
amidst loud cheers.
Mr.. Millbank, member for North Riding, York
shire, made an inquiry if it was competent for this
House to demand an apology from the House OF
Peers for the language of their Lordshlps. lnsOlent
to the Premier and Insulting to the dignity of the
House of Commons.
The Speaker declared that the question was nei-
Their in point, order nor privilege. This House was
not cognizant of what passed in the House of
Lords. He decided that the question could not be
entertained.
LONDON. July 2l.-Midnight.-It is rumored that
Mr.. Gladstone will withdraw the Irish Church Bill,
and as soon as supplies have been voted prorogue
Parliament, in order to introduce a bill at the au-
tumn session under circumstances which will cause
the Lords to hesitate before rejecting it.
NEW YORK, July IA Herald speclal from
London says the Cabinet Council this afternoon
was unusually protracted, and did not break up
till a late hour. No definite result was arrived at.
The final decision as to the future course OF the
Ministry is reserved until tomorrow. when another
meeting will be held. The latest rumOrs af1oat are
that the Government will make one last offer for a
compromise before it resorts to extreme measures
by the withdraw of the bill. Lords Clarendon
and Granville and others are said to have made an
earnest appeal for moderation, urging the extreme
danger of giving the reins to the revolutionary
sentiment of the masses at present. Notwithstand-
ing the hesitation of the Ministry, a conflict between
the Peers and the people is inevitable, and the
crisis will be delayed only from q knowledge Of
the momentous character of the undertaking. 1t
is rumored that a disruption of the Cabinet may
ensue.
New YORK, July 22.-The Herdld's special says:
The die is cast and the struggle has begun. The
Lords and the country have finally come to an
issue, in consequence of the abrubt termination of
the debate last night Intense excitment prevailed
among political circles during the day. The
Cabinet has been in session all the afternoon. and
