men TOR their services in prisons.
Lord Cleveland said he had observed
that many sections Of the country (nota.
bly, Liverpool and neighborhood) wore
Intensely Catholic, and the passage of this
bill was as much matter of policy as
justice. :
Lord Oronmore spoke against the meas.
ure. he declared that the time had come
when persons OF the Chnrch of Rome
should be curbed. Lords Carnaron and
Morley supported itas in accordance with
the spirit Of the age, Viscount Middl Q.
ton confessed that when 1t was proposed
to make Romanish priest an official pei
son he felt bound'to halt. The bill passed
by vote Of 5s TO 90.
In the House OF Commons, tonight,
Fawcett, ID. order to get the floor, moved
an adjournment. He then proceeded to
make an explanation In regard to the
Dublin University bill, and complained
OF the course Of the government with re.
gard to the bill. Session after session q
measure Of this kind has been promised,
but none having appeared this bill had to
be introduced BY persons outside OF the
ministry. The government had support
ed the second reading oil the bill, and now
they wanted halfof II estimated, treating
the entire proceeding with the bill US q
vote for want ot confidence. he wanted
TO know whether the bill should be pro.
ceeded with or cut in two. The government
pursued course fatal to private members.
Unquestionably- three.fourths Of the
House were favorable to the bill, but
since the real discussion, the members had
come 70 him, saying they were in favor
Of the bill, but II they had to decide be.
tween the Dublin University tests and the
Liberal government, they would feel con.
strained to throw the former overheard.
Fawcett concluded with a promise If the
government would give a specified day
to the bill In committee, its promoters
would be satisfied. Dr.. Playiair, mem.
Der for Edinburgh and standrew's Uni.
versitles, Liberal, seconded Fawce,t's
motion. He could not let the upportuni-
~ pass without expressing regret at the
course OF the government which calling
it1alf liberal, and making great professions
Of interest In popular institutions for
years, could not understand how danger.
Gus 1t was to invite ministerial crisis, or
question so insignificant.
MIR. Bawonrie, member Tor Kilmarnock,
Liberal, also supported the motion.
He called to mind the defeat which the
government had lately suffered, and ad.
monished tho Ministry that the confidence
OF the House was already shaken. He quo.

such Information should first reach the
House through the medium OF q newspa.

author Of that article was. Whether he
was q member OF the Cabinet, and If 80
who?
Mr.. Gladstone in reply complained Of
the strange inaccuracies into which the
speakers had fallen. he admitted that
the government was pledged to take up
the subject OF education in ireland,
and that the pledge had not yet
been fulfilled, but 1t Twas solely
from the want Of time. Two sessions
had been given to the complaints of Ire.

were neglected. He denied all responsi.
