Mr. GutneTOKK, the Trime Minister of Englaod. at the opening of Parliament n few weeks ago, introduced his great bill for the disestablishment of (he Episcopal Church in Ireland, and ite severance from Its connection with the State. He support ed the measure in s speech of great length sad surpassing ability, vindicating all tha details of tli# bill, which are very elaborate and eotnpieheneive. The whole property of the Irish church establishment is estimated at about fifteen millions of pound* One half of thie is to be devoted to the pay. raent of the ealarirs of clergymen, who are divided into incumbents who get the lion's share, and curates who do moat of the work for email pay. The other half is to be divided amongst various public charities, lunatic asylums, reformatory estab. lishmenfe, schools for the deaf and dumb, for tha blind, and kindred charities, and hospitals. Tills will operate as a great re- , lief ot? the taxation of the Irish people.? The grant to the Roman Catholic college of "M*yporUi," iwtntynx imimuu innmu^n to b? continued tor fourteen yeark. There gium donuro, k* it is called, publio grant* of money annually to the Presbyterian* in Ireland, i* aieo to he continued for a time. Baptist* and Methodisla in Ireland never recehed a crumb fiom the public table, and are atiil left out of any share. The separation of the Church and State in Ireland i* to take effect Immediately on th* passage of the bill, which Mr. Gladstonc think* will get through both House* ol Parliament in July n?kt. One of the leading argument* urged for , the disestablishment of the Irish Episcopal Church, is that the great majority of the people there are not eonneeted with that , Church, and therefore justice and fairness demand the measure. The population , stand* about four millions and a half of I Roman Catholtcs to one and a half of Pro- i testanta. In England there is a majority { of ths population connected with the Epis- i opal Church nominally, as only a iranll ( portion of th# majority, wo siippoe#i ar* actual eoromunioan'k. The defender* of disestablishment io Ireland say, there fore, that the argument does not endanger or apply to the Church in England; hut every body else can see, and the English people will before long see and feel that It does. II four millions of Irish are to be rslieved from tithe* and taxation to support the Episcopal Church among them, why should not aix or seven millions, more or less, of Wesley una, Presbyterians, Bap tietv, and other non conformist's in England * 1? - - * -1 - -i u --? r>i, .....v and Wales I A Da wny muu<u dvv rid State he also disconnected in Scotland, whero the perple are divided between ad. herente of (he Free Presbyterlan . Cliureh and other churches, and the State Preaby terian Churebt No one c?n give a good reason againat it, on the groucd of justice nd Christian morality. The millions of Englishmen, Scotchmen and Welshmen are as rouoh entitled as the Irish Cut holies to ha relieved of the oppression and insult of being forced to support a set of religionists, in whose faith and practise they not only do r.6t believe, but to which they are ino^t j heartily nod eopseientionsly oppon.-d. "The mills of ths gods grind slowlj-," is the proverb, but ths stone Is now fashion ing end being shaped by the enlightened opinion of mankind that will grind to powder thesa Church and State establishments throughout the world. That stons is * eut out of ths mountain " of God's truth, the Dihle. It ia only a question of time, and the English Church will be dis established. After the Iiieh Church qoes Hon is nettled, we balieva that the present reformers, or rotos other John Briohts and GLapeTOnrs will eueeessfully assail the Kng lisb ostahlishpient, although they think not so at 'present. They bare uncovered a light In their argnmeata for justice and re liglone liberty in Ireland, that will el>in# mots end mote unto e perfect day throughout the whole realm of England. There were Rome remarks! Is expressions in ch* speeeli of Mr. Bbiort, delivered in the Eng. lish House of Commons on the 19-h Msreh, tlmt show an Increased knowledge atod readiness to avow facts as to English history.
