LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 26. THE DEILITE IN THE LonDs. will be generally eoneetled, by all parties, that the debate on the Irish Church in the rpi.er Boume night did no discredit to the oratorical lower of that assembly. The spee. la, of Lord DERBY and the Bishop of LORL..,N, on the one side, of Lord CLARENDON :ma L, rd Mut:EPLEY on the other, and the m/s eel' of Lord GREY, on neither side. were (1101 land all worthy (./f the argument and of the ovension. Lora GREY, as usual, shaped a cour,e of his own, anal by his manner of moving the a eject ion 14 the snl. Iv•ory Bill, inflicted severe tlimageoll t 11 1 1 1 .311•41.

Ilitviou eilioncipatod himself from ;arty ties, Lord 01:1:v is at to employ scupw's of attaek ‘,llich, like the Australian )oomerang, are apt to Murn with inconvenient tonsequences, if not upon himself, upon his mosuesttary allies. He has not a word to THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 26, 1868.' say in favour of the Irish establishment ow it is, on grounds of policy or of justice. But of mune he has a scheme of his own for correcting its abuses and removing its inequalities which he infinitely prefers to any other that can be pro posed, and as that is not the scheme before the House, he rejects with disdain the only measure that has the least chance of future acceptance as " unjust " and " needlessly offensive," and, above all, as not doing what it never professed to do, and what only a responsible government armed with the authority of Parliament and of the constituencies can presume to do. Lord GREY'S one great principle, however, is the endowment by the State of all denominations in Ireland, and particularly of the Church dominant in num bers and in influence, that is, the Roman Catholic. Now seeing that this principle is at once and unanimously rejected by those Protestant societies which sent a deputation to the PRIME MINISTER the other day, and by the Roman Catholic clergy, it would be a waste of time to deal with Lord GREY'S only alternative for that policy of disestablishment which Mr. Otan i-voNt's Suspensory Bill initiates. Land MALMES IXEY, in his anxiety to save the Irish Establish rut, thrusts the Lund Quest' into the flout of the light, and labours to prove that the Church of the majority of the Irish teiaile, so far at least as it is represented by its hiertreliy. is in favour of pure communism and sheer spoliation. Whether the noble lord's natural clients—the chief possessors of the ish soil—will thank him for insisting on the land question in this alarming language, we cannot undertake to say. But for one who regards the question of the Irish Church as mainly one of vested territorial interests, it seems to us we must confess, a process of reasoning more than indiscreet. Lord DERBY, whose fiery and preasing eloquence needed no apology for physical weakness, took larger and higher, if not much safer ground, when ho con tended that Parliament had no right to deal with Church property in Ireland at all, although among the Liberal legislators of the lust generation none were more conspicuously engaged in dealing with Church property in Ireland—we do not say in confiscating it, for confiscation never wan and is not now in question—than the retired Tory Chief of 1868. Such a thesis as that Parliament or the State cannot deal with the uses of ecclesiastical endowments it hascreated is consistent neither with that principle of establishments which Lord DERBY upholds, nor with the principles of disestablish ment which he rejects and condemns. The absolute right of the Church to the possessions of the Church is neither a Protestant nor a Parliamentary doc trine. It belongs to Rome and not to Great Britain. Lord DERBY and the Archbishop of CANTERBURY eulogise the character of the Protestant clergy in Ireland, their neighbourly and kindly spirit, their charity to the poor. Who has denied all this ? Who has assailed the Protestant clergy? It is because Liberal• Protestants are persuaded that the clergy of whom this good report is justly given, will be placed in a far lees invidious and far more commanding moral position when the stigma of a political ascendancy is removed from them, and because English Protestant Liberals have not so poor a faith in the self-supporting power and the missionary resources of their COllllllll - and in the zeal and beneficence of Protestant landlords, that they desire to see the Irish Protestant church set free from the para lysing protection of the States. All the speakers on the Government side last night, while soli citous, perhaps for doctoral purposes, to encou rage the cry of " All church establishments, all corpo " rate properties, and all City companies (especially " the Merchant Taylors), in danger." were curiously careful almost in the same breath to repudiate the analogy between the Irish and the English Church Establishment. They had a per fect right, and, as we think, good reason, to show the essential difference between the two Establish ments ; but how can we be expected to take seriously the logic of debaters who are one moment declaring that the same principle and the same policy are applicable to both branches of the English Church, and that the case of the one is radically different from that of the other. Such obvious difficulties and inconsistencies in the case advocated by the Tory Peers lust night were exposed with singular force by Lord KIMBERLEY, who, although, as he avowed, originally in favour of the concurrent endow ment of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland, frankly and wisely surrendered that principle in deference to the clear and emphatic disapproval of tell the religious bodies in the sister kingdom. The Bishop of Lorrnox, in a speech as re markable for the breadth and liberality of tone as for the narrowness of its conclu sions, introduced a new and interesting topic into the debate. His remarks on the " great " change that has recently taken place in the poai " tion and sentiments of theßoman Catholicparty," and the " growing progress of the ultramontane " party," were weighty and well considered, and calculated to 'suggest a variety of considerations on the moral attitude and temper of other hierarchies than that of the Church of Rome. But when the BISHOP asks whether " the liberal " and moderate Roman Catholics" are in favour of the proposed disestablishment of the Irish Church, we take leave to answer that all true Liberals, of whatever creed or Church, must desire the removal of a political injustice ; and that, for the rest, liberal Roman Catholics, who are reganled at Rome as worse than heretics, would probably object to nothing so much as that endowment of a purely Roman Catholic uni versity which was lately contemplated by her MAJESTY'S present advisers. at that, when the first novelty has worn Off, PATILIIYAMILIA3 should feel a little dull. His boys and girls are happy as only children can be, and find infinite resources in the beach, which they consider the finest playground in the world; his wife, although she has cares, is not without occupation, but the master of the household, after being accustomed to steady and daily work, is apt to find this holi day time hang heavily on his hands. It is no use to toll him that he should be contented when he is paying a heavy bill for relaxation and diversion, and gains in lieu of them ennui. Sometimes he is tempted to wish that for one holiday month he possessed the privileges of a bachelor, and could take a run through Switzerland or the Tyrol, a walking tour over our Scotch mountains, or an excursion through Wales or along the rough wild coast-land of Cornwall and North Devon. Ile wants something that shall tax his energies, brace his frone, and stimulate his jaded powers ; and instead of all this, he is doomed to spend a listless and wearisome vacation in stuffy and expensive apartments, without the refreshment of a fine country or the amusements of the town. The single' man who takes his holiday after this languid fitalsion has no excuse for his folly, and deserves no pity ; but is there nny help for the seemed man of limited means who is blessed or bunlcneul with a family, or must he submit perform. to be thus cabined and confined ? We do not think that his case is hopeless. Rail roads and stqamboatss have brought many spots within an easy distance of London which some years since were beyond the reach of the middle clubs tourist, and the monthly excursion tickets offer no ordinary inducements to the family man. In summer weather, for instance, there are few trips more invigorating and delightful than a voyage to Edinburgh, and what is still more to the point, few, if any, that can be undertaken at so moderate an expense. Indeed, we venture to say, that a father might take his children to the Athens of the north, and spend a month in the charming suburbs of that most charming of cities, at a less expense than it would cost to lodge them for a similar period at Ventnor or at Bournemouth. As much may be said for the Channel Islands, where there is so much of varied and picturesque interest ; for some sea side resort. in Wales or in Devonshire, whore the rent of lodgings is moderate enough before the fashionable season ; and for a number of fine inland places with breezy commons, open moor lands, and expansive views, where lodgers do not congregate, and the extortion practised at some of our cockney towns is at present unknown. After all it is perhaps owing more to his predi lections or antipathies than to the exigencies of his position that the middle-class family man is so prone to spend his vacation at a popular watering place. If he finds Margate or Worthing dull he thinks he should be still more dreary where there was only beauty of scenery to compensate for the lack of society. He Mies to be among his kind, and as he finds more of his kind at such sea-side resorts as those we have mentioned than ho would meet with elsewhere, he is glad to make one of the crowd, yet he imagines all the while, and the thought is as consoling as an after-dinner pipe, that he is sacri ficing his own pleasure for the benefit of his children. It is strange enough that so little is done by the town authorities of our fashionable sea-side haunts to make these places more attractive. There are different degrees of dulness, and it might be possible at least to render them a shade lees dreary than they are at present. To be sure there is the bathing in the morning—which has become something like a sensational amusement, and there is gene rally a band in the afternoon ; there is horse exercise for the few and cheap boating for the many ; there is a pier to parade on, and there is occasionally a flower show, but beyond this there is literally nothing to please men and women whose delight in sea and sky is too feeble to be feigned, but who would show a genuine apprecia tion of any spectacle or sport that might be pro vided for their recreation. It may be said, with out fear of contradiction, that they manage these things, at least, much better on the Continent. Tin PEEL statue in New Palace-yard, which Lord Eterio describes as " a strange apparition " in a dirty sheet," which Mr. BERESPORD HOPE likens to a Commissioner of Police taking the numbers of the cabs, and which Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE says is a dreadful effigy of a great and good man executed by Baron Manocriirri in his decadence, is to be carted away. Public statues are mainly erected in England to be pelted at. Each one has been damned more or less by parlia mentary opinion, any abuse that was to spare being devoted to the site. The statue now con temptuously ordered out of the yard was ap proved of by a committee consisting of the Earl of ABERDEEN, the late Lord HARDING7I, Lord CANNING, Sir J. GRAHAM, Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT, Lord ASHBURTON, Col. WILSON PATTEN, and Mr. CARDWELL. Nay, Lord JOAN MANNERS and the Right Hon. WrizatArt COWPER, who agree in little else, look upon the statue as fit, at all events, for the precincts of the House of Commons. But 182 members to 71 cry shame upon it, and in a few days, we presume, it will be laid on a mason's truck and its place will know it no more. Lord Etcuo would melt it, and Mr. 3. HARDY does not say more in its behalf when he advises that it be removed to a place where it cannot be seen ; but whatever its fate it will offend the House of Commons no more. Mr. DAVENPORT BROMLEY, taking advantage of the iconoclastic rage, wanted every one of the statues to be removed from Westminster Hall, and probably if he had pushed the proposal, he might have carried it. There is nothing too contradictory or vacillating for Parliament when it is dealing with questions of taste. A glance at the division list in the case of the PEEL statue reveals such confusion that consistent Parliamentary action in such matters appears more impossible than ever. THERE was a curious scattering of parties in the House of Commons last night upon the ques tion whether the jurisdiction in bribery cases should be retained in the hands of the House or transferred to two judges. The latter plan was the essence of the Corrupt Practices Bill, and the Government intimated that without it they would hardly care to go on with the measure. The division list, in another column, shows that the Government received the support of a great num ber of Liberals, including Mr. C. P. Villiers, Sir R. Collier, Mr. B. W. Crawford, Viscount En field, Mr. Fawcett, Mr. Hardeastle, Mr. Hibbert, Mr. Lebouchere, Mr. M'Laren, Mr. Melly, Mr. J. S. Mill, Mr. Morrison, Mr. Otway, Mr. E. Potter, Mr. P. A. Taylor, and Mr. Weguelin. Against the Government, on the other hand, Mr. Gladstone carried with him Mr. Goschen, Sir G. Grey, Mr. Cardwell, Mr. W. F. Cowper, Sir Bounden Palmer, and Liberals of the shade of Viscount Amberley, Mr. E. Babies, Mr. Jacob Bright, Mr. Ocderidge, Mr. Cowen, Sir F. Cross ley, Mr. Locke, Mr. T. B. Potter, and Mr. White. Of Conservatives voting against the Ministerial proposal there ware Mr. Barnett, 001. Barttolot, Mr. Davenport-Bromley, General Dunne, Col. Dyot, Col. Fano, Mr. Moyer, Mr. Gore, Sir A. Guinness, Mr. Henley, Mr. Howes, Sir B. Laden, Mr. Hnndford, Mr. Suttees, Mr. C. Sykes, Mr. Vance, and Mr. Wise. the Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, Jess 25.

I therefore again pre sent myself to claim for the Liberal party, by your free suffrages, that seat in Parliament as your representative which has been withheld from me by the illegal acts of our political opponents. I have little to add, and nothing to withdraw, in the statements I have so recently made of my politi cal principles • but I come forward especially at the present moment to enable you to maintain the purity and freedom of election, and I rely upon the honourable and worthy citizens of Bristol of all shades of politics not to suffer the representation of their city to be debased by corrupting influences. I am, gentlemen, yours very faith fully, BAxuiL Moaxrr." THE ELECTIONS IN EBBEX.—The county, it will be seen, is growing warm with election work. An expla natory letter from Mr. Selwin-Ibbetson and the addresses of Messrs. Du Cane and Round appear in our columns to day.

In the east the liberal leaders are beginning to move, and a meeting has been called at Braintree to nomin ate candidates for that party, the terms employed tending to confirm the rumour that Sir Neville Abdy is to be joined with Sir Thomas Western in that divuaon.—Chekniford Chronicle.
