Tee Inisn ROR QUESTION IN PARLIA- MENT—Vassaye of Mr. Gladstome's Resolutions.— There was a large attendance at the session of the House of Commons yesterday, and great in- terest maniiested in the proceedings. Soon atter the Houee cume to order, Mr, Gladstone ro-e, and said he proposed, after the House has acted upon the resolution relative to the Irish Chureh, introduced by bums: if, to offer a sus- pensory act, which should, if possible, remain in force unul Aug 1, 1869. He then, in a few words, proceeded to an explanation of the purportand intent of the second resolve, and moved that it be put upon its passage. Golbeyn Hardy said the Oppo=ition intend to destroy the Irish Church. The Ministry wished to alter it for the better, but after the nt vote upon the first resolve, they wonld makeno resistance fo the succeeding one, or ask for a divi its passage. The second resolotiun was 1) Mr. Gladstone then moved the pa-cage of the third resolve, and atter some discussion, and the proposal of varicus amendments, nearly all of which were rejec’ed, it was adopted, in substance, a8 follow: That an address be presented by the Honse io her Majesty the Queen, humbly praying that. to prevent by legislation at this session, or by the creation of new personal interests through ihe use of the public patronage, ehe would be graciously pleased to place at the dis} of Parliament er interest in the temporalties of all the di; ties and benefits of the Church of Ireiand.’ Mr. Whitbread, member for Bedford, moved a Tesolution to withdraw the annual grant of 430,000 to the Roman Catholic College of May- nooth, and to abolish the regnum donum, tho grant to be to the Presbyterian atter the dises- tablishment of the Irish Chureb, which was agree { to, The reform bill for Ireiand was read & sec nd time, A ViLLatyous Arrack.—The Baltimore Sun of this morning says: On Wednesday night. as the 845 p.m. train from Washington was ap- proaching the city, just south of Camden Junc- tion, near the Deep Cut, some evil disposed person hurled a rock through a car window, the missile striking, with great force, Mrs. Curry, wife of Rev. J. L. M. Ourry, of Ala- bama, formerly a Representative from that State in the United States and Confederate States House of resem ‘atives. The Jady re- ceived a severe blow on the forehead, fractur- img the skull, and rendering her insensible. Upon the arrival of the train she was removed to the Eutaw House, where she received the Professiona] attentions of Prof. N. R. . At first it was thought the injuries received would result fatally, but last evening Professor ‘Smith was of opinion that the injured lady would recover, Rey. Dr. Curry—who was on his way to this city to attend the Baptist Mis- sionary Convention, now in sssion—was an. nounced to deliver the convention last evening, but owing to the condition of his wife he was compelled to decline. THe Natiovat LuTuHmranx SyNop.—The of the National Lutheran FORTIETH CONGRESS. This Afternoon’s Proceedings Fripay, May & THE SENATE Was not in session to-ay. Houss or Rerassentatives—Mr. Wood- ward (Pa.) moved that when the House ad- journ to-day it be umtil Monday next Car- ‘The House proceeded to the consideration of bills of a private nature, and took up the bilt- ‘Dding ow ust priy&te bill day, to incorporate The “Gomnectont Avenue and Park Railway of the District of Columbia, the question beins upon the third reading of the bill. It was amen passed, Mr. Stevens thought che constatution adopted by the Arkansas Convention upexceptionable, and he dia not d:sire to delay the bill Mr. Eldridge said there had been no oppor- tunity to examine theevidenee. Gentlemen on his side of the House did not consider the con- stitation of Arkansas so eeptionable, ag if involved tome of the objectionable features of the Alabama constitution. At least a reavona- ble time should be allowed for discussion. Mr. Beck. (Ry) said ailthe papers relative to tbis case, Rot been before the House. Adyanced © had only been received from the printers, and he would suggest that the subject tad forty ang until Monday or Tuesday next, At whieh time all these papers will be printed, and members can examine them. Mr. Boutwell (Mass.) said all the important matters had been printed. and the gist of the whole atfur was contained in the report of Col. Tourtelotte, which could be read in twenty minutes. He would say that Col. Tourtelott Was not of the political way of thinking of the Majority of the Reconstruction Committee, but they were willing to take his statement r. Eldridge said a document of fifty pages only had been printed, and they were exeiu- sively military orders. Members could not even examine them, The Constitution ander which it was proposed to admit the State had never even been before members. x. Baker (LIL) wanted to hear the Constita- tion upon which they proposed to act. because he desired to vote with understandisg upon the subject. He wanted to know what be was doing, for this bill involved what seemed to bicn a great Constitutiona! question which should be careinlly considered. He had doubts wheth- er Congress could enact the fandamenm) condition incorporated im this bill. He liked that fundamental condition as being upon the side of freedom, but he doubted the Constita- ticns! power of condition. Business of this sort should not oe done hurriedly, nor should the bill be passed in the absence of the State Constitution itself Mr. Stevens said there was nota clause in the Constitution which couid be objected to by any man unless he was opposed to trecdom, He did not propose to debate the question, but he wanted action to-day and he would there- fore call the previous question, and le er side debate. He then demanded the previous question on the third reading of the bill. Mr. Eldridge thought the gentleman had said he would afford an opportunity for debate, He hoped precipitate action would not be taken, especially as the constitution was not here, Mr. Blaine (Me.) hoped the demand for the previous question would be insisted upon, for if any one que-tion had already been talked to death it Was the question of reconstrueron, Mr. Stevens wanted the bill passed to- in order that it could be sent to th ate fore Monday. Mr. Spalding (Unio) hoped the previous question would not be secouded. He could not vote for this bill unle © ke saw the con. tation and knew what he was voting for. Mr. Robinson suggested to Mr. Stev the Senate had adjourned until Mou would meet then for a specific purp dill conid not, therefore, be seat Calne. Mr. Eldridge asked Mr. Stevens to yield. Mr. Stevens would yield atier the previews question econded, . Mr. Fldriige hoped the House would not perpetate sucl an infainy as to force this bill through in this manne The previous question was then secanded and ibe main question ordered Mr. Stevens stid ne desired to state, so that the iact could go to the country, that ‘the suitution of Arkansas was sent to every m- ber of the House over a month ago, aud if mem- bers had pot reud it or had miciaid it, it was their own fault. He then proposed to yield fif- teen minutes to Mr, Woodward. Mr. Woodward could not accept that term. for he could not discuss the Constitution oi Arkansas, as he had not seen it. He could not take his colleague's view of the case that the Constitution was nnexceptionabie, for he want- to see it for himself. He did not wish to b placed in an attitude of voiing against an in- stiument he might vote for if he had seen it. Mr. Welker (O.) suggested that the coustitu- 0” be fad from ,the Clerk's desk. Mr Stevens had no objection, but he repeat- ed the statement that the constitution has been sept to members & month ago. Mr. Beck (Ky.) suid if time were allowed him he could demonstrate beyond a peradven- ture that this Constitution was not adopted by ama y of the people of Arkansas. Future developments would show this, and it was tor this reason thet the haste was so gret to rush this bill through, He then proceeded to note the franchise and educational clauses, which were particularly obnoxious. Mr. Stevens’ bour wasextended 20 minutes, and he yielded to Mr. Woodward, who argued that Arkansas Was never out of the Union. These States were all to be admitted on the basis of negro suffrage, and he denied the right of Congres to force negro suffrage upon Arkansas any more thau it could enforce it upou Pennsylysi- nis.

We take from the Chi: o Tribune of Monr- day the following debate oa the p.opos admit the Washington and Dela ware ences, an abstract of which was recei nblisted in the Star xi that the Secretary be in- the names of the Delaware to phic and Washington Conferences of the list of con. ferences. He did not know why they had bees lett off, Dr. Harris (the Secretary) said the subject had <omewhatof a personal aspect. In making out the roll be omitted those two Conteren: from the list. The Committee on Colored P. ple had, at the last Conference, reported the: | Conferences as mission ones. It was ordered that they should be mission Conferences when created. They bad been deciared by the delio- erate act of the General Conference to be mi sion Conferences, and that was why they h deen omitted trom the list. Mr. Peck said he did noi understand that (b motion proposed to settle anything regardio the status of the Conferences: it was merely put them on the roll call. That was as: should be. Thongh they might have po dirr | repreeentation here, ali of their local iatere- should be well taken care of Mr. Harris wanted to know why not include all missionary conferences in the nation. Dr. Ferris said they had a committee to which partof the subject had been referred. He moved that the motion of Dr. Reddy be alsu referred | toa. had no such qualifications as distingwished those of Delaware and Washington. They were not on the same basis. They should admit the conferences of Delaware and Washington to the list. It was entirely competent that they should now be admitted; aud if their delegates were not here, those who had the supervision of them could re-pond in their behalf. Dr. Pershing said be was ready to vote for their admission whenever it could be done in a ted during the Conference. The Delaware and Washington conferences were mission one= Dr. Foster rose to the point of order that the only thing before the Conference was the ques- ‘Was sustained. It was moved to lay the motion to refer to the committee on the and it was lost. Mr. Haven spowe against referring the mat- ter tothe Committees The ‘two Conierences should be added to the list. It was too simple & question to refer to any committee. Mr. Akers said he wished to know whether the Ep ‘copacy had as yet reported anything rezarding those two Conferences. : He was intormed that it had not. Dr. Harris said it had been customary for members of one Conference to present papers belonging to another Conference. Matters of interest to the Delaware and Washington Con- ferences could thus be presented by any dele- gate. It was therefore not necessary that the Conterences should be put on the list in order that their could be attended to. Dr. Potter said he did not know what objec- tion there could be to referring the matter to the Committee. It was easier to ndmit confer- ences than to turn them out. Nothing should be done hastily. Dr. Durbin moved tolay the whole matter on the table until the Bishepe made their re- ort as to what they bad don» in organizing Conferences. Dr. Durbin withdrew the above, and moved to lay the whole subject on the table, which was agreed to.
