A SECOND EDITION of the EXPRESS, be " alissied by some step or 1 . sive to the people of " eteselesive proof that we hai " hastily or liihtly on a task of " that we mean what we say, and tne., " far as depends neon us, the task wall be " periineeed." In these words and in the spirit which they breaths lies the pledge of ultimste victory. Whatever may be the um eess in the Parliamentary division of the resolu tion which Mr. GLADIITOXII will wove this day week, it is the beginning of a struggle in which final triumph is certain. The conflict, it is vain to disguise, will be ardu ous and hot. Party animosity and religious fanati cism will spontaneously awake, if they can be said to here ever slept in Ireland, and they will be sedulously stirred by every device of faction and bigotry in England. The fear of forfeiting iniqui tous privilege has in every age of the world inspired a more outrageous resentment and violence than the sense of exclusion from rightful equality. There is something in the latent sense of injustice which inflames the minds of the persons who proSt by it, as there is something in the conviction of demanding only what is right and fair which gives calmness end sobriety to those who ask nothing but what is their due. We may ex:ect in Ireland an outburst of fanatic violence which will at once real the worst days of Orange excess, and prove what a missionary of hats and evil the poli tical establishment of Protestantism has been. It has been a teacher of injustice, and men have learned too well the lesson it has taught. The case against it would not be so strong as it is if its existence had not given a moral twist to the per ceptions of its supporters. The spirit in which the dis-establishment of the English Church in Ireland is likely to be resisted will be proof too conclusive of the evil effects of pro- testant ascendency. In England, nothing that the agents of a mischievous faction can do to stir up a similar excitement will be un attempted. Only one force will be strong enough to resist them—the united strength and firm purpose of the liberal party. The mind and con science of that party and its organisation are secured, and these being gained, victory is sure. But it may be delayed by illicit motives, under stood better because avowed more frankly, in the lobbies of the House of Commons than out of-doors. In every party, and in every section of every party, among Radicals of the moat advanced professions, as well as among Adullainities, Conser vative Liberals, and old Whigs, there is a consider able number of men who dread nothing so much as a dissolution, and who will be swayed by the threat of it. To these people, whether they sit for monster constituencies or for corrupt little boroughs, the words "appeal to the country" are an irresistible argument. The House of Commons is in their view a club, liable to be periodically dissolved, re election into which is subj e ctto a thousand uncertain ties and attended with the payment of an almost ruinous entrance fee, and a very heavy annual sub meription. They would vote black is white, rather than precipitate a general election. The consti tuencies will do well to keep watch over the health of their members, and to mark those of them whom sudden indisposition, or urgent private affain call away from the House of Commons when Mr. Gatnerowe's motion comes to a division. Any secession, however inconsiderable or worthless the individuals taking part in it, which may seem to indicate division in the ranks of the Liberal party on the great question of the future, will bea serious public mischief, and may delay a settlement which must be speedy if its full benefits are to be reaped. ONE effect of the law's delay in the TICHDORNZ case is that paragraphs find their way into the newspapers, which, intentionally or unintentionally, give dire offence to the contending parties. Now it is depositions which are detailed and commented on prematurely, now some circumstance which at first sight seems of the most general interest, but which is afterwards contradicted or protested against as prejudicing the case, and now again a letter from a relative or • solicitor volunteering an opinion which, though of interest to • gossip loving public is without strict value in law. The funeral of the poor lady whose inquest was com mented on the other day has furnished the latest illustration of our meaning. The public were circumstantially informed how Lord ARUNDEL and Mr. ALrase SEYMOUR were " extruded " from their position as chief-mourners by " the Austra " lien claimant," whose height and figure were im ported somewhat unnecessarily into the description; while the black face and "white goatee" of the negro accompanying him furnished light and shade to • description which was sufficiently graphic to annoy. Following on this • letter appears in to day's Times from the solicitor of the alleged Sir Hoene Ticesoams, complaining that "opponents " rush into print for an obvious purpose," and that " an untrue account of the proceedings at the " funeral " has been given. All whom it may concern are informed that " through the kindness " of Colonel Losuisovoii, who occupies Tichbcene " House, Sir Roane Tielisoluva and his numerous " friends were received as guests at the family " mansion ;" that the late dowager, " only a few " minutes previously to her death, wrote • "letter exhibiting the greatest anxiety " for his (the claimant's) welfare ;" and that the latter "is ready to concur in " waivering all technical legal objections, and go " at once before • jury of his countrymen for the " purpose of fairly trying the matter out." The negro with " the white goatee" is " the faithful " and much-respected black servant of the late Sir " EDWARD DOUGHTY ;" some other circumstances are added, and some explained away ; and the public is gratified by another peep into this strange family mystery. lid. GLIDIPTOSeS The Times is informed that the government has given Mr. Gladstone this day week in order that he may bring his resolution on the 'abject of the Irish church before the house. This is a matter, the Taus proceeds to argue, of which the test is success. If he goes to the hustings successfully on this question, and carries kw effect the disestablishment, he will hays redeemed the liberal party from its most saandelous weakness ; bat U he is beaten, he will establish Yr. Disraeli es the Protestant champion and the idol of half Easkad and the third of Ireland. It is to be presumed the resolution will not be too strong to provoke a reaction or too weak to be socepted, and that it will also point to some particular course to be taken. The Doily New discusses two forms by which the principle of disestablishment may be carried out. One is a rule that after • certain date vacancies occur ring in the crown livings and eoclesiastioal dignities of the protestant establishment shall not be filled up. On this plan the Mate church would be allowed gradually to fade away. Another plan is the espitaliaation of the ecclesiastical revenue, and the transfer to commis sioners or other selected representatives of the church, of a lump sum representing the value of the life interest of the present utcuulbente. The fund thus obtained would afford ample provision for the present none ' sales of the church and for its permanent orpniestion in ee►eraae, from the state. Both sebernes, the Daily Newt sue, use strisely equitable ; and the preference to be si►en to one or timed:sr will turn lens Opus its intrinsic superiority than upon fitness is relation to time and Dear News anticipates petty earplog and sethigneat deirastion, whatever sours, the Mader el the orrooltinn may adopt, but the fidelity el liberal sassibere to their pclaniples will be judged of by their votes, on his motion.

The truth is (says the Dibats) that the tumultuous scenes which occurred in Toulouse were not the result of any concerted plan but did undoubtedly represent a great amount of dissatisfaction long prevailing in that city from various cause." There is, however, much exaggeration in the pnblidied accounts. The red flag spoken of was only • handkerchief which • young man, passing by • slaughter-house, dipped in bullock's blood, and &Item's& stuck on the top of • stick. His companions soon made him take the hideous rag down. The irritation produced very generally in the south of France by the Army Bill was only the match which set fire to • mans of inflammable emitter long accumulating in Toulouse. The mu nicipal council, elected by a large majority, was dissolved. The expensive public works which that council opposed, and which are very un popular in the town, are obstinately carried on by the agents of the executive. The represen tative of the central canton of Toulouse in the Council-General has been dead for more than s i x months, and yet the government, in open viola tion of the law, will not convoke a poll for the election of a successor because it well knows an opposition candidate would be chosen. Further. more, the new electoral circumscriptions have cut up Toulouse in such • manner that the town, swamped by large country districts, can no longer hope to be directly represented in the Corps Legis latif. These are some of the reasons why discon tent is general in Toulouse. The Veterinary School of Lyons has been dis solved in consequence (it is rumoured, though full particulars have not come to hand) of the students having publicly refused to juin in a regulation " Domine salvum fac imperatorem." THE FENIAN TRIALS AT CORK. THE SKNTENCE UPON CAPTAIN MACKAY. The county court at Cork began to fill on Satur day morning long before 10 o'clock, the usual hour for opening the promedings. As before, a large proportion of the spectators were ladies. The Fenian prisoners were brought down from the gaol, is the prison ran, about 20 minutes to 10 o'clock, and while passing into the court-house were loudly chearei by the crowd which had assembled near the aide door by which the prisoners r nter. Mr. Jostles O'Hagan entered court at 10 &clods, and William Mackay was at once put forward to receive set. teat,. The Deputy. Clerk of the Crown having called upon him, in the usual form, to say why sentence should not be pared upon him, The prisoner rose, and with • calm, earnest, and at some points enthusiastic utterance, addressed the ioart. He was listened to (says the Cork Examiner) with pro. found attention by everyone within the building, and not a few of those present were affected, even to tears, by the more touching passages in his address. He displayed barely perceptible emotion himself, and then only when he spoke of Ireland and the kind friends from whom he was about to be separated. He a:44— El4ll'nd will most miserably fail if she expects by force and oppression to crush out to stamp out, as the new exclaimed—this glorious longing for national life and independence which now fills the bread of millions of Irishmen, who only require a little patience and the opportunity of effecting its purpose. Much has been said on these trials, on the objects and intentions of Fenianisai. I feel confidently, my lord, se to my own motives. I shall not be guilty of the egotism to say whether they are pure or otherwise. I shall leave that to ' others to judge. lam not qualified to judge that inyelf ; but I know in my soul that the motives which prompted me were pure, patrotie ' and unselfish. After speaking for some time in this strain, and giving a sketch of his late movements in con motion with Fenianism—the prisoner proceeded: And now, my lord, as I have already stated, I am ready ' fee my sentence. I feel rather out of place in this—(the prisoner here smiled gently). It is a place • man is very seldom placed in, and even if he is • good speaker he might be put out by the circumstance of Laving to utter his remarks from this place. But speaking at all is not my forte; and there are such emotions filling my breast at this moment that I may be pardoned for not say:og all I would wish. My heart is filled with thoughts of kind friends—near at hand and for away—of father and mother, brothers and sister, and my dear wife. Thoughts of these fill my breast at this moment, sad cheek my utterance. But I will say to them that I am firmly convinced I will yet live to see, and that ;ad w il l be graciously pleased in His own good time to order the prosperity and freedom of this glorious country. I would only repeat the powerful, touching, and simple weeds of Michael Larkin, the martyr of Man chester, who, in parting with his friends, said, God be with you, Irishmen and Irishwomen," and the burning words of my old friend Edward ollara Condon, which are now known throughout Ire land and the world, " God save Ireland." .trd I, too, would say—" God be with you, Irish men and women ; God save you ; God blear Ire land ; end God grant me strength to bear my task for Ireland as becomes • man. Farewell!" (A sound of some females sobbing was heard in the gallery. Several ladies in court, too, visibly yielded to emotion at thi4 point. Perceiving this, the prisoner continued :—) My lord. if I display any emotion at this moment, I trust it w ill not be construed into anything resembling a feeling of despair, for no such feeling animates me. I feel, as I have already add, confidence in God. I feel that I will not le lo ng in imprisonment—therefore I am just as ready to men my fate now as I was six weeks ago, or as I was six months ago. I feel confident that there is a glorious future in store for Ireland, and that, with a little patience, a little organisation, and • full trait in God on the part el the Irish people, they will be enabled to obtain it at no distant date. The prisoner then resumed his seat, amid a suppressed murmur of applause round the court. He kept his Wad till his lordship came to that part of his sentence where be was about to pronounce the penalty of the law on the pri soner, when he stood up and listened to his lordship with ul attention. is lordship, who spoke with much feeling, and was several times, towards the conclusion of his address, so moved that he had to halt in his address, then paned the sentence of penal servitude for the term o fi 12 years. When his lordship had concluded, and before the pen goner was removed, Mackay stood up, and said he wished, before be re. tired, to remove an impression that had quite uninten tionally, be was sure, been favoured by his counsel—that was that the soldiers in the Mariano Tower might have stolen the powder themselves, and made that charge against him afterwards to screen themselves. He wished to say that no charge of that sort could be made 'Pinsk those men, who had done their duty as well as they could._ _ _ - 1E; lordship—Very good, very proper.

LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 23. MR. GLADSTONE'S IRISH CHURCH RESOLUTION. Tile resolution relating to the Irish Church of which Mr. GLADBTONIC will give notice this evening will, we may state, explicitly assert the expediency and necessity of dis-establish ment. It is not likely that it will propose to effect this object at once, that is, during the present session, or by the agency of the existing Rome of Commons. The matter will be referred to the new Parliament, from whose hands, indeed, it could not by any expedient be taken. The right of revising the decisions of its predecessor, of confirming, or, if need be, of reversing them, is of course inalienable from any legislative assembly, more especially from a legislative assembly in which the great body of the people will, for the first time, be fully represented. Still, the resolution of which Mr. Outworn will give notice to-night, and which he will move on Monday, cannot be without its effect. It will be the solemn recognition, by the Liberal party, through its recognised Parliamentary leader, the chiefs of its various sections, and the great body of its members, of their duties in regard to the Irish Church. It will record a vow not to rest until a great act of justice is accomplished. The Irish Church question is now the great Liberal question. It is what Reform was before 1832, and what Free Trade was before 1846. To fight for it in opposition, if it cannot be carried in office, will be the duty, as it is we believe, the fixed intention of the Liberal leaden and party. No possible Liberal Minister can now form a Go veniment, except with the resolution to settle this question, before all others, and unless he have full authority to use every constitutional means neces sary for this purpose. When the Liberal party is committed as a whole to a cause, ultimate triumph is secure. It is the legio inoieta of politics. What ever delay may take place, and we do not anticipate any which is not necessarily involved in the forms of constitutional action, hope and confidence will be secured to the Irish people. The faltering language which it was the fashion only two or three years ago to use, the hesitating temper and disposition to compromise which marked the debate of 1865, did much to diffuse a sense of despair among the Irish people. When statesmen acknowledge that a certain course of action is just and right, and re fuse to take it, when they plead the danger of offending those who profit by wrong, and are evidently actuated rather by regard to the convenience of the moment than to lasting principles, remonstrance and appeal be come hopeless. To prove the justice of a claim to an adversary who disputes it is to make step towards success. But what can be done with a man who admits that right is on your aide, and refuses to act on his own perception of what is right ? In this way the speeches delivered by Lord PALMERSTON and Sir Gsoxos GREY in 1865, deprecating, on grounds of expediency, any inter ference with the admitted abuse of the Irish Church Establishment, did incalculable harm. It is not gratuitous to suppose that, in their action upon the Irish mind, they may have had some connexion with the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act in the year following. The Liberal party owes Ireland some atonement for the temporising course which it has followed on this subject for • long time. It is bound to give assurance that it is now in earnest. Mr. GLADSTONI4 as his speech in the late Irish debate showed, is fully sensible of this necessity. The motion will be something more than a form of words, however explicit and solemn.

The Karl of Baarressuir is re ported to have said of ragged schools that " they " were at the very minimum of existence--that " they could hardly keep body and soul " together, and if they were to be taxed, " then there would be utterly destroyed and de " moliahed one of the most glorious and Gonave " institutions ever devised by man ;" a glowing prophecy which we rejoice to say has not yet been ' fulfilled. Dr. liiinirraci as representing "charita " ble institutions whichwere versa:goo &striation " through poverty," maintains that as charity is one of the prerogatives of the Crown, ,I it should be exercised in favour of institutions which are known to be worthy of support, and which are in danger of extinction from taxation. It will be remembered that vigorous opinions have been expressed on the other side by some of our most able and thoughtful staitemen. If Mr. Disaam,t's ingenuity ever Eng gest, a mean, which while enforcing all fair claims of state upon the swollen wealthy foundations which are charities only in name, should permit the deserving and struggling inslitatione to weeps taxation, to-morrow's deputation would probably depart satisfied, and even Mr. Low a'a sense of justice be appeased. Ws see by Melbourne papers delivered by the mail of this morning that several companies are at work in the colony of Victoria, or are preparing for business on a large scale, with the object of preserving the surplus of Australian meat for exportation to the mother country. Good mutton is now being sold in and round Melbourne, by travelling butchers, at one penny per pound, and experiments which have been made in preserving this meat are described as being perfectly successful. A number of tins of it were placed on board the Galatea, commanded by the Duke of EOM at:sou, for the use of the officers and men, and his royal highness writes to the promoter of the company by which the experiment was made, stating that the leg of preserved mutton which had been supplied to his table (and which the company can deliver at 6d. per pound), was remark►bly good, and that the men highly approved of the beef which he had given them to try.

FENIAN EXCITEMENT IN VICTORIA, VANCOUVER'S ISLAND. SAN FRANCISCO, lints 9. Ad vices from Victoria of March 7 state that the I excitement caused by the threatened Fenian in vasion continues. A gunboat had been stationed in the harbour, and a large body of marines plead on board. The powder magazine opposite the city ant the different engine-houses were strongly guarded. The volunteers had received orders to hold themselves in readiness in case their services should be required. Every precaution had been taken to secure the safety of the city. The nature of the startling information was only known to the authorities, but the general impression prevails that they have been hoaxed. (azurza's numAm.)
