The House should wiit until the c: pmmission on the Irish Church had made a report of; t aeir investigation. Here was a question which hay 1) een postponed for thirty-four years, and the ie h pnorabie gentleman wished to. have it sett in; @ day, and asked the House to commit iself by pledges, Was it right for an expiritig Parliament to leave this le; of resolutions to its, successor? It was done only t& raise a cry which 1 night be used with effect in the coming elections. Lord Stanley then endeavored to convict Mr. Glad- stone of inconsisie acy on this subject by quoting from the record of I 4s vote and speeches. ‘The noble lord concluded his: speech by declaring that the Irish People cared tore for the land than the Church ques- tion, and. before ta’ ging his seat he offered the resolu- tion of which he gave notice on Friday~viz., that the whole subjec’ ; of a change tn the [rish Church Establishment be , ieft to be dealt with by the next Parliament. Mr, William H. YLeatham, member for Wakefleld, and Mr. James Moncrieff, member for Edinburg, spoke im opposi! don to the resolution of Lord Stanley. Mr. Edward 0 ‘Neill, member for Antrim, eRsise the resolution f or a postponement, and was followed. by Mr. Alexan jer chrane, member for Honiton, Who also adv: jcated a postponement, and in the course of his remarks said that he belleved that Protestantism was in danger in consequence of the no Ati dad been made upon an oid established chure! Mr. Cranb« jrne, member for Stamford, opposed both the res olutions of Mr. Gladstone and that of Lord Stanley , Mz. Samut 2 Laing, member for Wick, moved to amend Mr. ‘ jiadstone’s resolutions as follows:— Resolved, 7 that while the principles of disestablishment of the Irish Chr irch should be settled by the present House, the Practical det aiie of stich a measure may be left to, the ew ‘ariiament, the assembling of which the Ministry should use every mean? /to hasten. Mr. Lai: ig made an able argument in support of hie ne The So! dcitor General made a brief speech, sustatn- ~~ Daotion of Lord Stanley. t thts conclusion of his remarks the debate was adjournid, The Adjourned Debate. Lonvon, March 31—Midnight. In the House of) Commons to-night the adjourned debate ap the [ri st Church was resumed. Mr. Gathorne ‘Hardy regretted that a question so importaat hady been introduced in the House with so mvgh acrimony. The Ministers had been attacked, tn front and flank. The motion of Lord Stanley for a postponement only sought to es cape @ too ‘hasty consideration of the resolutions brought forward by Mr. Gladstone. A vast amount of properf.y was involved, and the country should be first cong uited. He dilated on Mr. Gladstone's change of views, which, he satd, were of very recent growth. He deni sd that there had been a large increase in the Catholir; population of Ireland since 1834; and as- serted ‘hat the numbers of Protestants had Increased in a larger ratio, Before plundering the Protestants. ® defltaite plan should be proposed. The clergy and laity overs ually concerned. Disendowment the rejection of these promotions, because, ia his ing these things aud the exciting rupture with Washington, and that General Hancock. with movement of ‘‘the man at the other end of the avenue.” They are said to be apprehensive sign, and so it, appears Stanton is more vigi- lant:than even in bis. precautions for the pre- servation of his friends of the two houses. We dare say, however, that as Mt. Johnson does not care any donger to hold any personal rela- tions with General Grant, he has. appointed order to have at Washington a frieudly officer who will relieve the Executive of the unplea- aant duty, which oiherwise-devolves upon hira, of communicating-on military subjects directly ‘with the General-in-Chief, This, we opine, is the secret of General Hancock's new appoint- ment; but even,this poor privilege of a friendly soldier with whom to consult am army affairs will probably be denied to Andrew Johnson. Gmyerat @eant ox Nearo Surrracr.—A Cincinnati paper says that “‘the statement of Mr. D, W.
