Both at the 'egotist and at the eaasnination yesterday (Wednesday) an eataaordinary sensation was created All conseqnence of that p of the evidence relative to a piece of rag having been found in one of the pistols, and which created • strung suspicion that there bad been fuel play, and this was heightened by the evidence given by more than one indisidual, that only one shot was fired. The follow ing estraunlinrry facts are obtained from • source which may be fully relict upon, and will most certainly place the rag in the pistol ia quite asiotLer light to that which has already appeared. When the parties met es the groused (and there is no longer any concealment that Bartheleiney was the deceased's opponent), it was agreed that each party should fire two shots. The deceased tired first, and mimed. Barthelemey then attempted to Ore ; but the pistol would nut go off. A second attempt was then made to tire, but with the same result. Barthe leuiey then wished to take to the swords, bat M. Colima would not do so, and actually gave up his pistol for Birthrlemey to fire, but at first he refused, on the ground that his opponent had no weapon. Counsel in• Dieted on hie doing so , as it was his right to do. Again he (Bartheleinel) wished to continue with swords, but again Cournet refused, and insisted ou his firing, which he at length nid, and the resod is already known. It is there fore clear, beyond all doubt, that, so far from Cournet having been unfortunately dealt by, it is positive that Barthelemey bad the pistol which was sot discharged. It is also beyond all doubt that although Bartheleiney s pistol I I would not go off, he did not fur one moment suppose that anything improper took place with reference to it. After the statement sic isle at the inquest with reference to the pistol being se plugged up with the rag, the countenance of liarthelemey, whzak this part of the evidence was given yesterday, was watched with the most intense interest, m it was fully expected there woald be a great change in his countenance; bet so far from such being the csae,',lse smiled, and appeared more at sow than at any other part of the legate,.

DISTRIBUTION OF TIM IRISH CHURCH. 1 ' REV E N UES. - ... . The following important letter hem Mr. J. Bright, , M.l'., laying down in detail his views on the . iteli• `ions Equality" question, was received in Dublin on Friday. It is addressed to Dr. Gray, one of the secretaries of the preparatory committee of the forthcoming conference: Mr Dean Da. Gariv—l observe from the newspapers that the friends of " religious equality" in Ireland are about to hold a Conference in the City of Dublin, with a view to consider the ea sting ealesiastieal arrangements of your 1 country. My engagements will not permit me to be pre- sent at your deliberation. and, indeed, lam not sure that your invitations allied ioniser thee to Irishmen and Irish represeutatives ; but I feel strongly disposed to address you on the great question you are about to discuss—a question affecting the policy and interests of the United Kingdom, but of vital importance to Ireland. Let me say, in the grit place, that I am heartily glad that any number of the Irish representatives should have resolved to grapple with a question which, in my opinion, must be settled on tome just basis, if Ireland is ever to be tranquil and content. The cam of the catholic population of Ireland, and, in truth, it is scarcely more their cue than that of every istelligent and just protestant in the three kingdoms, is so strong, se unanswerable, and so generally admitted, that nothing is wanting to insure its complete success but the combination of a few able and honest men , to coucentrato and direct the opinion which elicits. If such men are to be found among you—resolute, persevering, sal disiuterestcd—a great work is before them, and SI tor:lndy a great result. 'They will meet with insult and calumny in abundance ; every engine of the "supremacy " party witl be in motion against them ; they will be denounced as "con spirators" against the institutions of the country, when, in fact, they combine only whist a 'Temente which it is hard to say whether it is more humiliating in Ireland to endure, or disgraceful in England to inflict; bet against all this, having • right cause, and working it by right means, they will certainly succeed. It would be to insult your understanding were I to line gine that you demand and thing more or less then a perfect " equality " before the law for the religious sects which rout in Ireland —that is, for the members or adherents of the protestant episcopalian, the presbe tenon, and the Roman catholic churches. 8u entirely is it felt that you are in the right in making this demand, that, with regard to it, your oppoaeats dare not attempt an argument with you ; they prefer to say that you claim something ilse,—namely, a su premacy ns hiveful as their own, and then they hod it easy to contact the matter with you, writing and speaking, as they do chiefly, to a protestant audience. On this point there should be no possibility of mistake ; and not only should the demand for " equality " be unequivocal, but it appears to mo moat desirable that some mode of attaining it should be dis tinctly pointed out. We may, perhaps, imagine an " equa lity" which would allow the protestant establishment to r.- main as it is, or, at lout, to continue to be a st.ve church, building up at its aide a catholic establishment, and, to com plete the scheme, a presbyterian establishment also, having a botch of catholic prelates sad of presbyterian divines in the House of Lords ; but, in my opinion, any scheme of " equality " of this description would be', and must nett's.: rily be, altogether impracticable. Lord John Russell, I think in 1813, 'termed as opinion that the protestant church in Ireland should not be subverted, " hut that the Roman Catholic church, with its bishops and clergy, should be placed by the state on a footing of equality with that church." He adopted the term " equality, " and said that any plan he should propose would be "to follow out that principle of equality, with all its consequences." Lord Grey, in 180, was, if possible, still more explici•, for he said, after expressing his opinion that " the esthetics have the first claim" on the funds applied to ecclesiastical purposes in [Mind, " you must give the catholic clergy an equality also in social rank and position," end he went even further than this and said, ss I carry my view on the subject so far as to with to see the prelates of the Roman catholic church take their places in the bombs on the episcopal bench." From this it appears that Lord John Russell and Lord Grey, seeing the enormous evil of the "misting system, were ready to justify almost any mea sure that promised political and ecclesiastical equality to the Irish °scholia ; but they wished that equality to he obtain, d without the subversion of the peek stunt established church in Ireland. Of course , if all parties among the statesinin and the public of the United Kingdom were agreed, funds might be provided for the perpetual eudewment, and sub jection to state control, of the Irish catholic and pre,byterian churches, and some plan might be devised to secure them a representation in the House of Lords; but, happily for mound principles in civil government, and happily far reli gion itself, all parties are not agreed to do this, but are rather agreed that it shall not be done. The " equate," which Lord John Russell would " follow out with , all its consequences " is a dream, and Lord Grey's hold idea of giving the Irish catholic' , " the first claim to the funds," and of placing their bishops in the House of Lords, is not less impractic. able. To have two established churches in Ireland, the one protestant and the other catholic; to have in the House of Lords protestant and catholic bishops elbowing each other 011 the " righst rev. beach," guarding the temporal and api- 1 ritual interests of two churches which denounce each other', as idolatrous or heretical, would be an incoosisteney so glaring, that it would go far to overthrow all reverence fir governments and churches, if not for Christianity itself. The scheme it surely too abs urd to be seriously thought of; and if there be a statesman bold enough to propose it, he will find no support in the opinion of the English public, except from that small section with whom religion goes fur nothing, and churches and priests are tolerated as ma chinery in the pay and service of the government. But there is an "equality " which is attaivable without ioconsisieney, which would meet with favour among large classes in every part o' Great Britain, and which, I think, if fairly proposed, would he well received by many of the more enlightened and just protestant' in Ireland. It is an "equality" which must start from this point, that henceforth there must be no church in Ireland in connexion with the state. The whole body of English diameters, the United Pres byterian church of Scotland, sad the relation of the United Kingdont,taiAht be y to welcome each a proposition; and it is ID wadentand how the presbyterians of the north of Ireland, ee the free church of Scotland, or the adherents of the W an conference in England, could, with as ecesistemay ee decency, oppose it; and I am eoziLlent Melt • Imp smatter of persons con nected with the setabilhed ellogebel ha drabs,. kingdoms, who are enlightened eassak to see what is right and just enough to wish it to be dere, would give their support to any minister who had the Immo to make such a measure the great distingalabing Ile Of isle sehainistration. Bat, if this principle were adeptadl—that is, Oa principle that hence forth there must be me dwelt in Ireland in connexion with the state, there would still he a quetion as to the appropriation of the Mtge funds now in the hands of the Irish established church. There are two modes of dealing with time funds, either of which may be defended, but me a them teems to offer fa eUities white de net beim to the other. The most simple plan wield be to elbewb the revenues of the 'stele , limbed chunk ea the Heap beseme vacant, and to apply them la same chasm' lase endeelistioal, Is which the whole pomslatioa of Ireland oda prOdeme.

The Roman catholic church has 26,0001. sammat • prise . ipal sum of five hundred and twenty pmeds. I will my nothing about the exact proportions of population belonging to each church, for I do not wish to give opportunity Mr dispute about figures. It is sufficient to say, what every knows to he true, that the Irish populatis• tertalkabe, and that the protestant., whe ther of the EpisespiEna at of the Presbyterian church, or of both united, am • MBA Minority of the Irish people.

It would be desirable to offer facilities to the landed proprietors to purchase the tithes, at an rosy rate, in order that funds might be in hand to entry out the other arrangements of the scheme. I have estimated the total value at ten millions; it might not reach that sum if the tithes were sold at a low rate; but whether it were ten millions, or only eight millions, would not affect the practicability or the joshes of this proposition. Let this commission be empowered and directed to appro priate certain portions of this fund as a free gift to curb of the three churches in Ireland—to the protestant episcope- Han, the presbyteries, and the Roman catholic church.

Theistrikdes wow She quelition of nos amounts M lie thus given. Mai wwa leepiries I have made I have arrived at Ihe SO l 4 to each perish In Ireland, there was a hew' lad a seat Otto of lend—say from 10 to 20 sere.— in the peals the et the catholic church, that would be all the provide.* that would be required, or wished for, m the general support of its ministers would be derived, so at pre sent, his the voluntary win•ribistioiss of their Rocks. There ere in round number* about 1,000 parishes is Ire land. In many of diem there is now a provhdos up to the standard above stated in the pamessies of the whelk ehur b, bat I will mound that is all of theta sult provi sion would have to be made. One thousand pounds for each parish, taking one parish with another, would simply make up any defideney. and this marine throughout the perishes of Ireland would require the mum of one million sterling to be appropriated from the general lend ; and this should be made over absolutely and for ever to the cathelles of Ireland, In such hands end in such manner as the funds of their church raised by voluntary effort are usually secured. Under an arrangement of this kind, of course the special great to the College of Maynooth would be withdrawn. The presbyterians under the (mention of this act would lees their annual grant of 40,0001. per annum ; hut in plate of it, morning that they have so orcanisatiou and a sys tem of government which would enable them to hold and administer funds fur the au of their church, a portion of the general fund should be set apart for them equal to the production of a revenue of like amount with that they now I receive by grant from parliament. This should also be given to them absolutely sod for ever, and they should be ' come henceforth a voluntary and independent church. The protestant episcopalians should to treated as libe rally as the presbyteruins, with whom, it is estimated, they aro about on a par in point of numbers. Assuming that they could and would form themselves into a free ' episcopal church, the commission would be empowered to ' grant them • sum equal to put granted to the presbyterians, and which would be about the muse in amount as that granted to the esthetics. And further, so long as they undertook to keep the churches in repair they might be permitted to retain possession of them at a nominal rent, fur their own use only ; and that when or where they bad no congregation sufficient to main- tain the church, then the buildings should be at the do- I.omol of the COMMiIIOOII to let or well as might be thought best. In the caw of the protestant episenpalians, u with the presbyteries' and the catholios, whatever sum is given to them must be given absolutely and for ever, that thence• forth they may rely on their own resources and become a voluntary and Independent church. The state would thus have distributed about three millions of the original fund, and would have relinquished all claims upon it for ever; and it would be the duty of the commission to take care that those grants were applied, in the first instance, for the purposes and is the manner intended by the act. The remaining five or seven millions, as the eau might be, might, and in my opinion ought, to be refereed fur purposes strictly Irish, and directed to the educa tional and mural improveruet of the people without re spect to clam or creed. This fund would extend and per fect the educational institutions of the country; it would establish and endow free libraries in all the chief towns of Ireland, and would dispense blessings in many channels for the free and equal enjoyment of the wl.ole population. Of course there wilt be objections started to this scheme, as there will b.. to any scheme which attempts to remedy an injustice which has lasted for centuries. The t , church party" may, and probably will, denounce it ass plan of spo liation most cruel and unholy; but no man who crepe*** to remedy Irish ecelesiaatical wrongs can expect to lied favour with the sect whose supremacy be is compelled to assail. We must hope that state patronage has not so entirely dernoralieed the members of the protestant episcopalian sect either in England or Ireland, as to leave none among them who are able to see what is just on this question, and who are willing that what is just should be done. I believe there are many intelli. gent and earnest churchmen and some eminent politicians connected with the established church, who would welcome almost say proposition which afforded a hope of a final settlement of this question. From Scotland, and probably from cereals quieten in Eagland, we may bear of the great crime of handing over a million sterling to the Roman catholic* of Ireland. It will perhaps be insisted upon that to add to the means of a church whose leading is belt( to ' be " erreneons," is • grievous national sin ; sad marry will I honestly doubt the wisdoms of a scheme which proposes each an appropriation of a portion of a great public fund. Item, there is not a sten in the United Kingdom more averse to religious endowments by the state than I am ; I object to the competitory levying of a tax from any man to teach any religion, and still more to teach a religion in which be does not believe; aad I am of opinion that to take a church Into the pay of the state, and to plus it under the control of the state, is to deaden and' corrupt the church, and to enlist its influence on the side I of all that is evil in the civil government. But in the pion I now suggested, the Irish sects or churches would be lett entirely free, as is the free church in Scotland, or the Wesleyan methodist church in England. The grants mu made, oath church would possess absolutely its own fends, just u much as if they were the anumulstions of the volun tary contributions and liberality of past generation of its member', and thus would be avoided the damage to religiose and to civil government which is inseparable from what is called the union of church and state ; whilst the sum granted to each church being equal tea provision of about 40,0001. per annum, would be too small to create any important corporate influence adverse to the public Interest. As to the complaint that the sum of lies:million is proposed to be given to the Irish esthetics, I will ask any man with a head to conprebend and a heart to feel, to read the history of Ireland, not from the time of henry VIII , but front the sect Mon of William 111. and if he inmate upon a settlement of this question be grails to the protestant seats, and by the refusal of any Ouvespandinig grant to the Roman catho lic., I can only say that his statesmanship is as wanting in wisdom, as his pretemeatism lacks the spirit of Christianity. If, for generations. a pulls of the protestant, of Ireland, few in number bat peassufai mush wealth, have enjoyed the large ecelmiostioal 11•141111•96 eta whole kingdom, and if, during the sue peeked, the Rooms catholic., the bulk of the population but patenting little wealth, have been thrown entirely on their own limited resources, and under circumstances of political and social inferiority, can it be possible, when an attempt shall be made to remedy some of the manifold injustice of past times, that any Englishman or any Seotehman will be found to complain of the impar tiality of the government, and in his real for protestautism to forget the simple obligations of justice ? But it may be objected that It is country to mound policy to make grants of public money to any public body, or corporation, or stet, not submitting to state control—that, in fact, a church receiving anything from the elate should be a state church. No one is more sensible of the weight and soundness of this argument than I am. But observe the peculiarities of this CYO. I start from the point that henceforth thus shall be no church in Ireland in connexion with the state." I have to free the protestant episcopalian stet and the presbyterial.s from their state rennezion, and to make the Irish sects voluntary churches for the futare. I propose an eppro. pennies of about one-third of existing coelesiastieral property is 'reload, with a view to soften the apparent severity of the champs* the seam Immetofore paid by the state, and to make seer samsode to Ant majority of the Irish population, the Wilma poet treatment is admitted by all the The goeteehmb of Inhibit have done hitherto little for themelesss bums the homely of the state has paralysed their maim, so suds onsrlisos oaf tioemary ; the esthetics have dam muck for tbasimahoo e Ist they are in great po verty, and oar eximia% e llesielielldlell legislation has been is felt, andnow felt Arm s to Ms grievously unjust. Would it aid be worth sonseseless of - the nun I have rule , waif the &Media from ordinary which I := t ai to remeismend, toobtain the grand result which le tentemplatod by the drop now proposed I love old Act Obese be diossions to this schema astil to every sehtmck Thor rhyme is centuries old, and around it an, mateimodi hiterests, prejudices, fanaticism, aaimmities, sod oesolatins. It is a desperate evil, sad whoever waits till the rommi4 is phrase to everybody may and will wait for ease. The Aloft in view is the tran quillity of Inland. no memsmriple bat altogether novel in that unhappy ceentoi—to do hill and impartial Pjtice to her whole population. I propose to leave the resbytertans as well cirenntatamsed as they are now with this exception, that all future extension of their organisation , must be made at their o en east ; sad I would place the pro , intact episcopalism in es good a position es the presby terians. The setheita only *mid have any ground of complaint, owing to their numbers so far extending those tf the protestant sect.; bat la the application of the re. malodor,. and mach the largest portion of the funds, for educational or other purposes, they would participate exactly in proportion to their numbers ; and I have a strong belief that, so far as they are enneerned, such an arrangement as is now susgested would be accepted as a final settlement of a most diult and irritating question. As yea know, I sin neither Roman Catholic, nor Pro testant Epuieopaliin, nor Presbyterian, no am I an Irish man. My interest la this matter is not local or sectarian. I have endeavoured to study it, and to regard it, as be comes an Englishman loving rustics and freedom, anxious for the tranquillity of Ireland, the welfare of the empire, and the bonnie of the imperial government. I believe that statesmanship does not consist merely in preserving institu tion,, but rather in adapting them to the wants of nations, and that it is possible so to adapt the institutions of Ire land to the wants and circumstances of Ireland, that her people may become as content as the people of England sad Scotland are under the mild monarchy under which we live. Some experience and moth reflection have convinced me that all efforts on behalf of industry and peace in Ireland will be in great put unavailing until we eradicate the sentiment which is universal among her catholic population, that the imperial government is partial and that to belong to the Rowse catholic church is to incur the suspicion or the hos tility of the law. A true " equality" established amour Irish seen would put an end to this pernicious but all per. Tiding sentiment; and catholic*, whether priests°, laymen, would feel that the last link of their f e tt ers wee at le ngth broken. Supremacy on the one hand, and • degrading in feriority on the other, would be abolished, and the whole atmosphere of Irish social and political life would be purified. Theo, too, Christianity would appeal to the population, not as a persecuting or persecuted faith, with her features die figured by the violence of her political conflict, but radiant with the divine beauty which belongs to her, and speaking with irresistible fore to the hearts and consciences of men. I know not if the statesman is among us who is destined to settle this great question, but whoever he may , be, he will strengthen the monarchy, earn the gratitude of three king doms, and build up for himself a lasting renown. I am sensible that in writing this letter, and in expres sing the views it contains, I run the risk of being mtsuo dentood by some honest men, and may subject myself to misrepresentation and abuse. It is under • solemn sense of duty to MT Country, and to the interests of justice and reli glen, that I have ventured to write it. I have endeavoured to divest myself of all feeling of preference for, or hostility to, any of the churches or setts is Ireland, and to form my jlsignient in this matter upon principles admitted by ell t►ae statesmanship, and based on the found ition of Chris tian Justice. If I should succeed in directing the r.tteution of any portion of those most deep'y interested to 60004 mode of tempo from the difficulties with which this question is surrounded, I shall willingly submit to the suspicions or condemnation of those who cannot concur with me in opinion. I wish this long letter were more worthy of its purpose. As it is, I send it to you, and yuu make what ever use of it you think will be likely to serve the cause of " religious equality in Ireland."

Some of the lamps in which it reaches this country are not unlike flattened cheese, double-Olo'ster, for example; oth ers are like cocoa-nuts in their rough shells ; and the first stop taken with it is to bring these within the action of a ver tical wheel, with knives tired on the face of it, which, re volving rapidly. cut the material into thin slices, and often expose the progre.s of the Malays towards the deceits of civi lisation, in the shape of lumps of wood encased, to increase the apparent qulntity. . . When it has been cited, it is boiled in coppers, forced into a hopper, where serrated killers tear it into shreds; and it is washed in va r i ous waters, in the *snow of which the foreign matter sinks to the bottom and is removed, while the putts pereha float.. Being cleatised, and this is of greet consequence, especially for *leering tdegraph wires, the material is put between rollers, which partly squeeze out the moisture, and it is then placed in a kneading machine, and ultimately is pruned through rollers to fnrm sheets and bands, or submitted to the drawin., mill to he formed into cords or pipes. At the temperature of boiling water it becomes soft, will take any form or the finest i iipmesion, and at the ordinary tempers tare regains the consistence of leather. Herein hes, its ma be seen at once, its ex t raor di nary value. Com b ined with sulphur, it mar be made as hard as ebony, too, hut this is not the condition in which it is most useful. For pipe making and for covering telegraphic wires, a further claw ins pr j erra Is gone through : it is driven by immense pre* lure, the pie-sore of four hydraulic pumps, through game wire and very tine holes In a steel plate, and it is rolled and kneaded again. —The Builder.
