After the rejection of the amendment proposed by the Peers, Mr. TYLsraell took the - floor and spoke at some length. - He regretted the repudiation of the amend , ments adopted in the House of Lords. The Church was not the question at issue at, the late elections. He thought the agreement of the Lords to send the bill the second time was an act of magna nimity, considering the Majority unfa vorable to the measure, and the agree ment was only given under the under standing that Commons would consider • the amendments in a conciliatory spirit. He could not understand how the course the Government had taken could be re ; coneited to the expectations held out to the House of Lords. Mr. Gladstone replied, saying that the promise giVen to the House of Lords was that the amendments which could be proved would.be respectfully considered, • and he maintained that the, pledge had not been violated. He had conceded much in deferent° to the Lords, and had fulfilled, more than fulfilled, the pledge which he had given. (Great" cheering.)
