English Parliament —Mr. Glad.--;
stone Introduces a Hill for the
Disestabllihineut of the Irish:
Church.
(By Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Eiszett.c.l
. , GREAT BRITAIN.
Lounoti, March 2,—ln the House .of •
...
Commons last evening Mr. .Gladstone
moved for leave Co introduce a bill to die -:
,
establishr „
ie Irsh Church, to make pro.,
.„,
visions for its emporilltres and to Wel'
endow the-Royal College of St. Patrick,
at Magneto . Mr: Gladstone followed
up the motion with a speech in defense •
and in eirplanation of the provisions of
the bill. After commenting on the ,
gravity and importance of'the task, he ,
said he was aware of dui necessity of
giving historical and political reasons for
proposing such a cormitati eh go,--
reasons which would ow I the
anomaly of the press -. positlott-
It
and the consciousness of - Parliament
of the difficulties of such position.; Tho
House at times had been - induced - lb
waste the property of the Irish, Church,
so its magnitude might not - shack the
public mind. It had been at
times to support the ascendancy o this
Church by the enactment of penal lawm
If this ascendancy was maintained, -bit
ter feelings on the part of the Irish pea—
ple would never cease. Adverting settle
previous action on this measure, he said -
it bad resulted in - making the Houseand
country unanimous for disestablishment
He would not dwell upon the arginnftnti
which had been put forward againsktt,
but he denied that his course was ad- ,
verse to the welfare of religion and the
interests of, Protestantism. He denied
that it contemplated the invasion of the
rights of property, arguing that Perlis- .
ment, which had the right to create cor
porations, had an equal right to extin
guish them. He referred to theobjec
none to disestablisliment, which- were
based upon the act in union, and answer
ed them by maintaining that the - Irish
church as at present constituted, defeated
the intent of that act, and prevented
any real union between the people of
England and Ireland. The only means
of establishing that union' were religions
liberty and civil equality. The bill
would be a conclusive -shutting out of
all eontroyersy, bur ca-rying with it no
penalty of nein. He proeeeded to -ex
plain that tlie bill is intended. to go ink!)
effect on and after the lst ilay,of January,
4871, as soon as it has received the
Royal assent. A commission Will be
appointed tor a period of ten years, to
guard the property of the Church, and to
prevent the creation' of any new inter
ests. All Ecclesiastical' appointments
for Ireland hereafter are to be made
without freehold; no money is to be em
ployed for permanent purposes, These
provisions are to take the place/if the
suspensory measures , passed last year.
It is assumed that the clergy and people
may kayo other religious organizations
for three which they were' about to give
up. In such case,-the Queen in council
would recognize .the newly constituted
religious bodies, : but not create
them: The _ result would be the
:Munition .- - -
• 'of-,, , •.acciesiastical courts
and jurisdictiart;titffrffrnurri :of -,
Bishops to the peerage. Alle cr ti
cal corporations would be dissolved,. and
then the disestablishment of the Irish
Church would be complete. Provialon
is made for the clergy who are to receive
'
life annuities, all-private endowmeabt
to remain intact. The Church is' • to
be handed' over to a Council for
religious pmposes. Grants are proposed
for the support of St. Patricks and eleven
other cathedrals, these structures being
regarded as national property. Churches
no longer required are to he handed over
to the Board of Works for the benefit of
a fund, and burial 4 grounds are:to be "
placed 'under the charge of the,Guar
diens of the Poor. The: Presbyterian
clergy are to receive annuities, u lieu of
the regium demon, and the Remelt Cath
olic college at Maynooth andthe Presby
terian college are to be granted capital
ized sums of money., Further legisla
tion is to be had in , regard to - Trinity
college. A tithe rent will be offered to
-land owners at tirenty.two and 'a half
years' purchase. Churchleases are to be
sold, tenants baring the that option.
The capitalized `value of .the Church
property is estimated at sixteen mil
lion live hundred' thousand pounds,
of which eight Imillion • pounds in to
be appropriated to compensation, surd
and
the remainder, in the words 6f the' lira
amble to the bill, is to be employed' for
the advantage , of the Irish people,not
for the purposes of any church or, class,
nor for the teaching of Voligidni but. for „
relief in cases of unavoidable calamity:
or suffering, while at the same time It is
not to cancel the obligations laid upon
property for; the relief Of% the. poor.
Grants are also to bb made to provide for
the care of Ittuatics, for, the - training of
nurses and for the supPorfOf infirmaries.
Mr. Gladstone proceeded at considera
ble length to urge' upone House the
great results which were to be effected
ti 3
from the passage this in ure, - in i the
tranquillity of Ireland and the Water
tinion,:sectuity and poVrer - Of the empire.
Mr. D'lsraell followed . ' and - spoke
briefly. He said he regarded the Palter
of the administration in regard to - the
-Irish Church as- politicall,y. , wrongvand
the bill as au act , of confiscation. But
the Government bad a right to bring the
matter before the House for a full dis
cussion and he would not oppose - the in
troduction of the bill. ,
The bill was introduced and read a
first time and ,Maieh 18th appointed for
the second reading:' The then ad
it/tithed. _ , t, .
The Times to-day 'Ways ' the scheme for
