Gladstone on the Land Bill.

LONDON, Nav I7.-Mr. Gladstone was
somewhat indisposed, and therefore opened
the night debate on the land bill instead OF
speaking later. He pointed out that charges
OF confscation had been leyelled against
almost every beneficial measure OF the Gov
eminent. He did not admit that the bill
contained anything approaching cOntisca-
ton, and therefore was not prepared to
admit any plea for compensation. He said
be bad never known 80 large measure
| debated for so long a time with so few Sc
rious points brought into discussion. Rela-
tive to the objection that tenants only are
able TO appeal TO court, Mr.. Gladstone said
the Government was prepared 10 consider
| in committee any proposal to extend that
chit TO landlords. Ii had no intention OF
refusing reasonable amendments. In pro-
! portion TO their anxiety TO give peace 10
| ireland it would be their desire 10 receive
from every quarter proposals that might
tend 10 improve the bill. The opposition
were PLAYING with edged tools in making
the State of Ireland the playground
OF party. IL powerful combine
ton succeeded in overthrowinS the
bin and the Government, conser-
yatiye Government would only have
10 mass a larger bill. Mr.. Gladstone argued
that Lord BeaconsfeId would have acqui-
esced in the inevitable change, and said
Lord John Manners amendment was the
first fruit of the withdrawal from Lord Bea-
consfeId's guidance. He gratefully acknow'
lodged the spirit in which the bill bad gene
rally been received in Ireland. The Gov
eminent, he said, could not assent to great
changes Of form. as II it brought IN one bill
and passed another the House OF Lords
might be encouraged TO reject The bill.
The debate was again adjourned.

DANvnLE. Va, May 1.-THE question
OF division OF the Diocese OF Virginia hav.
Ing been removed. the interesting features
OF the Council at It's session which begins
here tomorrow will be the consideration Of
the amended canons. which will be reported
by committee appointed last year. Among
these will be canoDs which pertain 10 the
ritual and rltualistic practices in connec-
ton with the administration OF the Lords
Supper; admission OF mission and coIored
churches, and one on lay discipline, which
pertains to promiscuOus round.dancing, &c.
The Council sermon tomorrow will be
delivered by Rev. Arthur A. Johns, son OF
the late Bishop Johns.
The Council will be held in the new Epi-
phany church, which Is to be consecrated
tomorrow, and OF which DIR. Dame Is rec
tor. He has built two churches since he has
lived In Danyiile. and when he came there
were but four Episcopalians here besides
himself. An interesting fact in connection
with the consecration IS that Mr.. A. Y.

vestryman OF DR.. Danes first church, and
Mr.. Stokes is here as a delegate from ST.
Paul's church, Richmond.
Rev. Beverly Tucker will deliver the
