An Opinion from tho "rimsS."

EDiSBuRa, Nov. lI.-Mr. Gladstone anC
wife and Lord Rosebcrry and wife to-day
drove in Garage from Dalmony PARK
through the principal throughiares to the
Free Assembly Hall. Crowd, Of people
lined the route and great enthusiasm was
manifested at the appearance Of Mr.. Glad
stone. On reaching the hall Mr.. Glad
stone found 1t literally packed with people
lawaiting to hear his address.
Mr., Gladstone said it was impossible
for PArliment to deal with the Irish ques-
ton satisfactorily except by the action Of
party powerful enough to set independt-
~ OF the Irish vote. According to Tory
as well as Liberal reports such party in
the coming PAtliment can only be the
Liberal party. .-
This consideration was more than or
dinarily important. indeed it was OF the
highest imperial importance. Passing TO
subject less important said Mr.. Glad
stone, II am reluctantly compelled to
refer TO personsl matters. am unable
to understand the reason, but it uu.
doubtedl1 has become the fashion among
a portion OF the Tories to circulate con-
csrning myself an unfounded assortment
Of most gratuitous untruths.
This is a mode oil warfare thatthe Liber-
ais have never INDUCED in, and | believe
that the bulk OF therespectable Tories dis
approve 1t. These uutruths return to me
in theshape OF vo'uminous correspondence
dailyfrom all parts Of thecolntry, aud ask
my friends to receive all such statements
with resolute inCredulity. Some Of the un-
truths now circulated say possess large
quantity olland in r ussia. Another accuses,
me OF telling trees on Sunday. a third
Gays offered to lend Lord Braburne G., 900
yearly. A fourth that asked the Liberal
parliamentary party last session 10 vote
against their c0nsCiences. A fifth that
Opposed the abolition OF logging in the
army, whereas | spoke and voted In It's
favor, and sixth that voted against
household Suffrage. Such are specimens
OF the newest untruths circulated.
! now enter another subject, the dis
establishment, not because IL is Of imme-
dinte necessity but in order to remove
widespread Misrepresentation. When the
subject OF State religion comes into dis-
cussion although it has been more fully
probed and unfOlded in Scotland than
el6eWueI6I duu dNuOukH llfeI1 ltellbk'
as was to be expected, exists with regard
to it in Wales, yet it is the larger case OF
England which principally arrests atten-
tion. Bearing in mind all the cir
cumstances OF the question in connec-
ton with the length Of my own past
career l might plead for an exemption
from all share in this controversy, but
having regard on the other hand Of deep
interest felt in it with strong conviction
on the pat Of 80 many whose confidence
| have erjoyed, think it right 10 say a
few words, il they only tend to qualify
over sanguine expectations and to miti-
gate alarm, though they are entertained
by many whom both officially and per-
sonally revere, with respect to the sever
ance cf the Church Of Euglaud from the
State ! think it obvious that SO vast
question cannot become practical until 1t
shall have grown familiar 10 the public
mind. by thorough discussion with the
further condition that the proposal when
thoroughly discussed shall be approved.
