LONDON, THURSDAY EYRNING, AUGUST. 6, 1868. [STAMPED Id. ADDINONAL.] MR. GLADNTONE AND HIM CONHTITUESI'S. ST. HELEN'S, WEDNESDAY. Mr. Gladstone and Mr. H. R. (ri nfell , the two liberal candidates for the south-western division of Lance t bite, attended a meeting of the electors, in the Volunteers Hall of this town, this afternoon. Mr. T. D. Homer, of Liverpool, presided, and about 1,400 persons were present. Mrs. and the Misses Gladstone occupied seats in a balcony reserved for ladies, and received an ovation when their presence was announced. The Owens, briefly opened the proceedings, and introduced Mr. Gladstone to the meeting. Mr. GLLDDIONE, who was received with enthu.uastic cheering, proceeded to give what be termed some account of the stewardship with which he had been entrusted for three years. The Reform Bill had placed the liberties of the people upon a firmer basis than that which they enjoyed before. But he regretted that, owing to vexatious restriction@ and exceptions, it could not be pet regarded as a finished work. The right hon. gentle man then proceeded to point out that on the accession of the conservative government, an increase at once began in every estimate. As to Ireland, he could not de scribe his sense of the inlet...cm& which Mr. Disraeli's remark "that there is matter for great congratulation iu the prevent state of Ireland," beakers. When the toe . mattes of personal liberty are in abeyance, a country has arrived at a point only one step removed from civil war. He had looked the dark fact of Irish discontent in the face, and with the great liberal party had resolved to satisfy in full the demands of public justice. As to the land question, it was his firm conviction that a rational provision might be given to the Irish cultivator for his security, with the fullest to the rights of property. Passing to the subject regard the 'filth church, Mr. Gladstone proceeded to criticise some of the election addresses of nsinistenalists, in which they express their willingness to remove the abuses of the Irish church; but if these were taken away there would be nothing left. These plans were only futile, like the razor, carried to a certain fair, with respect to which the man who had them said they were not made to shave but to sell. The right hon. gentleman continued— The plan of Irish church reform is made to sell, gentle men—(cheers)—it is meant to be sold to . you if you will buy it ; if you will give the moderate price of yourpoli tical support. There are candidates abroad in this part of the world, and in many other parts of England, who will sell you plans of Irish church reform, as many as you please, but they are not destined to !sae matterof practical legislation. We have tried this already ;we tried it in the year 1833 ; we then cut off ten bishops and pitched them out of the carriage to the wolves, just as sometimes happens in Rusin& when a carriage going over the plains with a number of horses is pursued by hundreds of wolves, one horse is cut off and then another, in the hope of allowing the inmates of the carriage to escape. (Laughter.) That is what we did with bishops in 1833, and for a time the wolves fed on those ten bishops. (Laughter.) But they are now in full cry again, and it is raid that the commission that has been sitting is going to recommend a repetition of the very same experiment, not however on so liberal a scale, but what they are going to recommend is that we shall throw overboard ten bishops in the hope that the wolves will be satisfied for a short time in devouring their camases. (Cheers and laughter.) lam not for throwing over the bishops at all. I would allow every religious communion to have as many bishops as they please, and as their reasonable necessities require, of which they must be the best judges. But I do not exaggerate when I say that the day for changes of that kind has gone. I will give you my proof. Yon have but two plans really to judge between, and you must take the option. You will either have to take away the Irish church ' establishment as we recommend, or else you must build up some other bade" it. And with respect to those Who tell me they are afraid for the interest of proteetant ism, I can not only beg them to observe the addresses of candidates, but the facts which occurred at the begin ning of this year. We bad then a government in office who declared its intention to propose an Irish policy. And what was it? It was to maintain the Irish established church; but not to maintain it alone; it was intended that other religions should be kept up by the resources of the state. That is a question entirely open to you. We know that the intention and desire of the government was to establish this system. Mr. Disraeli protests against the destructive opinions of those who sought to remove the present Irish establishment ; but he said, " Don't suppose that I think things ought to continue as they are." - Nor did he say "I propose to throw over four bishops to the wolves." What he said was this—his words were enigma tical in form, but clear enough in sentiment—he said, " I think there ought to be a great change in the condition of the endowed clergy of Ireland;" that is to say, in the con dition of the clergy of the presbyterians, and above all the clergy of the Roman catholic", who are the ministers of the great mass of the people. What was that great change? A further illustration was given by Lord Mayo, who said that the present state of things in Ireland was most unsatisfactory with regard to its ecclesiastical establishment, but he objected to the plan of levelling down. He raid there is no objection to establish religious equality in Ireland, provided it be done by rais ing up and not by pulling down. What I want to show is the actual state of things in which we stand. It is true that the government have, under pressure, endeavoured to explain the meaning of the words which they used. When Lord Mayo said there was no objection to establish religious equality in Ireland by raising up and not by pulling down, these words meant that the Regium Donum given to the presbyterians was to be increased, and that endowment was to be , provided for the Roman catholic . of Ireland. (A Voice : They don't want it.") Was there any act proposed which significantly indicated the mten tious of the _government ? On tho contrary, they proposed, in March last to establish a Roman catholic university, which was to be supported, so far as respected professorships, &c., out of the Consolidated Fund. Now, • do not suppose I censure the government for proposing the plan, because it is a plan that has bad in other times the countenance of many of the great statesmen of the country ; but we may perceive that it is not a plan that can be accepted by the people of Great Britain, whilst, on the other hand, it is repudiated by the Roman catholi c of Ireland. They, as I understand them, desire and respect fully demand religious equality ; but they entirely decline to appear before you as petitioners, to be allowed to support their religious edifices and their ministers at the expense of taxation levied on your pockets. The religious equality which they demand is that which is to be had by removing what exists, and not raising the number of other establishments to sisterhood with them. (Cheers.) As I have told you, the government have at a more recent period explained away the words to which I have referred. It is only fair to give them the benefit of that explanation. The First Minister declared that there was to be a great change in the states of the unendowed clergy, and the Irish Secretary said there was no objection to establish religious equality if that was done by raising, and not by lowering. For a long time no explanation was given, but upon pressure being used the Irish Secretary said that his meaning was that more liberal arrangements should be made for Roman catholic chaplains in goals and work house*. (Laughter.) If the whole population of Ireland were within gaols and workhouses there would be some meaning in that explanation. (Cheers and laughter.) But it is no explanation at all, in the proper sense of the words—it is a covert denial and retractation of the policy which had once been in telligibly proposed, but which was deserted and re nounced as soon as the prosecution of it was found likely to be inconvenient. (Cheers.) When you recollect the condition of the country as to the means by which government is carried on, I think you will say I am jus tified in the main propositions which I have laid down, viz., that the Irish church can't continue as it is • and secondly, that the plans of church reform in Irela nd are really visionary and idle, and that the real choice is be tween creating a multitude of establishments on the one hand and removing the establishment which exists on the other. (Cheers.) The plan is this—Will the church in Leland cease to exist as an establishment and no other established church be created to take its place ; (Loud cheers.) It is idle to shirk the issue ; and those who are very tender on the subject of pro tesdantism will do well to recollect that we have amongst us a tolerable number of protestant., nonconformists, in this country. (Cheers.) It is made a reproach to us that we are acting in concert with the Roman catholic" of Ireland. Why should that be • reproach to us? Our alliance is not for religious purposes peculiar to us and to them—it is for purposes of civil juatice. (Loud cheers.) I must tell you in this country, with respect to the votes and support of the Roman catholic party, that when that support was required by the party opposed to us, they did not make any wry faces in receiving it, but said there was a great deal that was good about the Roman catho. lies, and that they were their natural allies. The tables seem now to be sadly turned. The Roman catholic. mem to have taken it into their heads that it is not unnatural for them to desire religious equality in Ireland, and now it is to be a reproach to us if the Roman catholic, are enlisted in our rank". (Cheers.) My answer to this is that we are combined, irrespective of religious persuasions, for the purpose of achieving and working out a design which is founded on the principle,.of natuisFand civil justice, as all Christians—nay, all men —are bound to acknowledge. (Cheers.) I will only trouble you a very little longer. I think I have shown you by referring to what was the policy in the month of March of the two great parties hi the country—that the real Sets lies between the removal of the Irish church on the one hand, mid maintaining it on the other; be tween perpetual attempts to bolster it up by throwiugsops to ether parties in the shape of state grants and state en dowments, and abolishing that church as an establish. meat. (Chews) I need not say that lam convinced ONE PENNY. that it will be your wish, as ft was the intention of the permit House of Commons. that the mast studious, careful, tender regard should be had to every personal and to every vested interest, and that all relations of feeling that might arises should be con sidered in the most liberal spirit; for if we wish to effect great means with a view to still greater ends, this is the mode to set about them. It is only in this way that you can gradually satisfy your adversaries as to the real justice of your end s , th a t you can disarm jealousies, allay passions, and satisfy them, and make them contented to acquiesce in the success of your wink. (Cheers.) I will only add, we must deal tenderly as well as justly with all concerned in this settlement, be they members of the establish d church, be they presbyterians, or be they Roman cathoics, dealing evenhanded justice to one and all. I am persuaded that when this gi cat measure is accomplished we shall see a satisfaction resulting from it such as few are at present sanguine enough to dream of, and I for one am convinced that it will be accomplished before a long time has elapsed. It is a circumstance not a little notable that the preheat House of Commons, certainly composed of men of very moderate views, has already passed by large majorities a bill the effect of which was to stop for a time every appointment to bishopric*, dignities, or ecclesiastical benefices in Ireland. I think we may draw a favourable augury from the tone of the House of Lords. I make no complaint against the House of Lords, although I deeply regret that they rejected a moat venial and salu tary measure; yet I observed with satisfaction the tone of the speeches by which those who differed from us de fended their votes. It is clear that the members of the House of Lords are aware that they will best consult their dignity by giving wa y to the ascertained wishes of the I country. (Cheers.) Therefore I am sanguine as to the attainment of our object. (Cheers.) It is said, on the one hand to be dangerous to protestantihm, and, on the Other, to be dangerous to the church of England. With respect i to the church of England, it appears to me that not gis more idle than to attempt to draw • parallel between the case of the church of Ireland and the case of the church of England. The duty of • religious esta blishment is a duty to the nation at large. That idea of a religions establishment ministering only to a handful of the people is an unnatural and monstrous idea; and when you have arrived at such a state of things, it is time that establishments should cease to exist. But lam free to say in many parts of the country the church of England is the sole, and in many other parts the principal if not the sole, religious agency ; and even in the mat populous parts, where she is confronted by the friendly competition of the other religious bodies, the church of England enters into the natural life and purpose of the country, associated in a great degree with the feelings, the traditions, as well as the history of England, and there are very many who do not formally belong to her communion who would with deep regret witness her downfall. (Cheers.) The great difference between the two churches us summed up thus—that the Church of Ireland is a church established by law, which neither does nor can do the work of an establi hment ; but the Church of England, established by law also, in most parts of the country does the chief part of the work of an establishment. (Cheers.) Great will be the responsibility of those who identify in argument the case of the church of Ireland with the case of the church of England. They have established against themselves an argument which when the case of the church of Ireland 121 settled may be used for objects for which they and not we will be responsible. (Cheers.) As for the danger to protestantiam, I might be contented to rely for the warranty of your pretestantiani on the support of that great body of nonconformists who I suppose would not be denied to be protestants by the most staunch members of the church of England, to show that we are not combined for purposes hostile to Protestantism. I might go further, and show that our policy is to be considered absolutely in itself with respe:t to what it is intended to arrest. Me system is the one which had led to the establishment of the Maynooth grant, which was intended to lead to the sup port of a Roman catholic university, and in com mon justice must be maintained. You now must be prepared to give a great deal more to May nooth and the Roman catholics if you mean to maintain the established church of Ireland. (Cheers.) It is impossible to maintain, for the benefit of • handful of protestants, the wealthiest handful too, such an establish ment, and appropriate for its exclusive use the whole of the ecclesiastical property of Ireland, whilst with respect to the poorer communions you say in effect—whilst we claim for the minority the exclusive enjoyment of the national property we leave you presbyterians to enjoy the amount which you now receive, and you Roman catholic* to find out the means of support for your own religion. (Cheers.) That is a policy which is now quite impossible, and it is for you to decide whether the policy that we recommend is the proper one to sub stitute for it. (Cheers.) In former tames the responsi bility of this policy was shifted from the shoulders of the people on to the shoulders of statesmen and of parlia ment. There was • time when you might say with fair ness that you were not responsible for this policy, because you had no votes, and the majority of the House of Com mons was chosen by certain landowners and self-elected corporations. As long as this state of things existed that might fairly be urged on your behalf ; it is not so now. A fundamental change has taken place, the enlargement of your privileges is the enlargement of your responsibilities, and it is the bounden duty of every one of you to exercise • careful, intelligent, and conscientious choice between the men who come be fore you for your suffrages, with reference to the various great questions of public interest, with reference espe cially to the Irish policy, and most of all that branch of it which concerns the existence of the Irish establish ment. (Cheers.) If it be, as I fear it is, undeniable that the conduct of England towards Ireland is disapproved of by the civilised world at large—and of this there is no doubt, for beyond these shores there is no question at all as to the impropriety of this strange policy which has been maintained in Ireland—if it be true that this policy is disapproved of by the civilised world —if Ireland at this moment is a grief, a scandal, and possibly a cause of danger to the empire, the blame of this policy may possibly be thrown upon others by whom you and your forefathers have been governed. (Cheers.) It is no longer now that you are invested with the privilege of selecting who are to go vern you. This is of all others the idea which it is es sential to bring home to the mind of the nation. (Cheers.) The policy which is sketched out is for your con sideration and adoption. Yours will be the blame if the painful state of things continua in Ireland—that shame ful state of things which has made it necessary for us to suspend during the last three years the guarantees for liberty in Ireland. Yours, too, will be the phonour ersonal liberty the praise, and yours will be the lasting benefits, if now, uniting hearts and hands, and putting shoulder to shoulder, .you join in • firm and resolute effort to return such men to parlia ment as will address themselves to the con sideration of these great questions with • firm deter mination to deal with Irishmen as they would deal with Englishmen or Scotchmen, and as they would wish that Irishmen, if it had so happened, would deal with them. (Cheers.) Yours will be the honour, the praise, and the lasting benefit, if these' scandals, these diffi culties, these fears and misg i vings, these unfortunate, and I might almost say, these inveterate causes of alienation should be, I can hardly say at once effaced, for that is impossible, but at least subjected to • miti gating influence in the minds of the Irish people, whilst an earnest determination to do justice, and open • future of happiness, prosperity, and contentment, shall stand in joyful - contrast with the past of that unhappy land. (The right hon. gentleman concluded amidst loud and prolonged cheers.) Mr. Gaggrri.x, M.P., next addressed the meeting, and was very well received. A reeolution expressing confidence in Mr. Gladstone and the determination of the meeting to support the right hon. gentleman and Mr. Grenfell iu the coming election was then to passed, and the proceedings closed with a vote of thanks the chairman. CONVOCATION AND THE DIOCESE OF LONDON.- There will in all probability be a contest in the diocese of London at the forthcoming election for the seats in the Lower House of Convocation. The diocese is divided into two archdeaconries, and each archdesoonry elects two clergymen, whose names are submitted to the bishop, who generally selects one from each archdaaconry to sit in convocation, although he may, if he pleases, select the two from either archdeaconry. At present the diocese is represented by Mr. Hempe, the Rector of St. James's, and the Rev. Michael Gibbs, Rector of Christ Church, Newgate-street. In the axebdeaco nry of London there is not likely to be any change, but in the archdeaoonry of Middlesex a *bong effort will in all probability be made by the high church party to return Mr. M. W. Mayow, vicar of St. Mary's, W eat Brompton, with Dr. Barber a vicar of Roehampton, in which owe Mr. Mayow would, is expected, be selected by the bishop, as he wasonihe last octal/ion returned in conjunction with Mr. Kemp& He sat in the Lower House of Convocation as proctor for the diocese of Salisbury, and took a very prominent part in the debates.

The Queen (travelling hes:ignite as the Countess of Kent) embarked yesterday from Osborne pier shortly after midday in the royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Cap tain his Serene Highness the Prince of Leiaingen, which almost immediately afterwards sailed for Cherbourg. Her Majesty was accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Princess Louise, the Princess Beatrice, and the Prince Leopold. The suite in attendance on the Queen and the royal family included the Marchioness of Ely, Sir Thomas sod Lady Biddulph, Colonel Ponsonhy, Miss Bauer, Sir William Jenner, M.D., and the Rev. Mr. Duckworth, attached to the service of Prince Leopold. Lord Stanley, her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, will be the minister in attendance upon the Queen during her sojourn in Switzerland. His lordship will arrive at Lucerne on Saturday next. The royal yacht wan attended across the channel by the Enchantress, government steam yacht.and by the Black Eagle, steam yacht. Owing to the privacy of her Majesty's journey, the Victoria and Albert was not at tended by any of the iron-clads belonging to the Channel squadron now lying at Spithead. A telegram announces that the royal yacht anchored off Cherbourg at twenty minutes to seven yesterday evening. Exten,ive prepa rations have been made at Cherbourg by Imperial au thority for the convenience of the august teaveller& and a flying bridge leading direct from the arsenal to the departure platform of the station of the Chemin de Fer de l'Oueat has been especially constructed, to obviate the necessity of using carriages for the conveyance of the royal party from the dockyard to the railway station. The Emperor has placed at the disposal of the Queen en imperial train, consisting of ten vehicles, several of which are fitted up with great magnificence. The royal Weeping apartment, hung with exquisite tapestry of °libeling manufacture, the terrace, and the various salons communicate with each other, and are remarkable for elegance and comfort. The Queen and the royal party were to disembark shortly before 11 o'clock last night, the train being timed to leave Cherbourg at 11 p.m. precisely. The distance to Paris is 230 miler, and her Majesty would arrive there at seven o'clock this morning. At the station of the Cheinin de Fer de l'Ouest in Paris her Majesty will be received by his Ex cellency Lord Lyons, British ambassador at the court of Paris, with his staff, and by several French officers of dis tinction. It is expected that his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, who crossed the Channel, en rotate for the French capital, last night, and the Duke of Cam bridge, who crossed on Tuesday night, will be present at the railway station to welcome her Majesty. The Queen and the royal party will proceed in the ambassador's carriages from the railway station to the hotel of the embassy, where her Majesty will remain during to day. It is considered not improbable that she will receive !hats during her stay from the Emperor and Empress of the French. Her Majesty will continue her journey this evening, leaving Paris at 9 p.m. by the Chemin de Fer de l'Est, using the same imperial train which conveyed the royal party from Cherbourg to Paris. The distance from Paris to Bile, on the Swiss frontier, is 323 miles. At Bile her Majesty and the royal party will partake of breakfast, and here the officials of the Chemin de Fer de l'Eet will resign their charge of the train to the officers of the Central Swiss Railway, over which her Majesty will travel thenceforward to Lucerne. After breakfasting, and probably visiting the cathedral at Bile, the Queen will pro ceed on her journey, and is expected to arrive at Lucerne at 11 a.m. Her Majesty will be received by the municipal authorities of the town, and the railway station has been fitted up for the accommodation of English visitors, of whom Lucerne at this time ie very full. The Queen and the royal family will occupy, during their stay at Lucerne, a very beautifully situated residence called the Villa Wallace. It is built on a hill overlooking the town, with the Righi on the left, and Mont Pilatua, distinguished by its serrated ridge, upon the right, and the lake and the snowy St. Gothard range of Alps immediately in front. The Queen, and the royal family, with the ladies in waiting, will occupy the villa, and the other members of the suite will be accommodated in a very pretty chalet, situated in the grounds of the Villa Wallace, and closely adjoining the lake. Altogether the spot chosen for her Majesty's resi dence is remarkable for scenery of the most beautiful character, possibly not to be equalled in Europe. It is expected that her Majesty will remain at Lucerne during the next three weeks, or probably until the first week in September. The continuance of the present fine weath e r will probably have an influence upon the royal move ments. It may be interesting to mention that so great are now the facilities of communication between London and Switzerland, that a traveller leaving Charing-cram Station at 8.30 p.m. can arrive at Lucerne on the follow ing evening. A crowded and enthusiastic meeting was held at the county hall, Abingdon, on Tuesday evening, when the borough elestors were addressed by the new liberal candidate, Mr. Godfrey Lushington, of Lincoln's-inn, and son of Dr. Lushington ; and Mr. OOLDIHN Smarm who presided. BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AT OXFORD.— The most interesting event in connection with the visit of the members of the medical profession to Orford took place yesterday morning in the theatre, when the Uni versity proceeded to confer the honorary degree of doctor in civil law on Sir Charles Locock, Bart., M.D., F.R.S., the Rev. Samuel Haughton, M.D., F.A.S., William Witbay Gull, M.D., James Paget, F.8..5., John Simon, F.R.S., and James Byrne, F.R.S. THE RECENT DUEL IN BELGIUM. The fol lowing curious incident is narrated of the late duel be tween M. Jecker and M. Dip's Barot :—" The two ad. verssuies were directed to fire on the command of one, two, or three,' at any moment between the utterance of the three words. On the signal being given M. Jeeker discharged his pistol and the ball struck M. Barot in the stomach. This latter also fired, but without hitting his adversary, and then fell to the ground. ' You are wounded r asked M. Cahan : ' Yes." In what . part Y 'ln the abdomen.' While M. Barot was thus lying. M. Jecker approached, and having rolled up his overcoat placed it as a pillow under the head of his wounded opponent. In the meantime Dr. Faigneaux had stripped M. Barot, and in a state of astonishment was looking for the wound. ' I see no trace of the bullet,' he said ; ' there ni no perforation : where is the bail W by here!' exclaimed one of the seconds: here it is !' lie had found it in the waistcoat pocket of M. Barot, Thim is what occurred:—The bullet, th-ffmAg.' the last-named gentleman in the region of the stomach, was stopped by a waistcoat button conmsbng of • thin piece of - metal covered over with silk, and glandng off quietly deposited itself in his pocket. M. Barot, at first supposed to be badly wounded, escaped with a severe con tusion. After the ball was discovered he fainted, and the duel of course was at an end." THE CONTIIACT CORPORATION.—Yesterday, at the Rolls Chambers, before Mr. Church, the chief clerk, a further dividend of one shilling in the pound was ordered, making 4s. in this matter. It would take about 35,0001. to pay the dividend of one shilling in the pound. A STRANGE SUICIDE.—A few days ago a re spectably-dressed man was observed to climb over a fence into the stone yard of the Cheltenham Workhouse, where he deliberately shot himself in the breast with a . pistol. In his pocket was a piece of paper with the following words written in pencil :—%. Left Cerney at 11 cm., arrived at Cheltenham at 1.30 p.m. Died July 29, 1868. Mir Arkell, A. Iles, Esq., Moorwood House, Wooclmaoote. F. G." It appears that he had been engaged to a young lady visit ing at the address indicated, whom he had on the day before his death, and that, under the impression, which was a correct one, though it had not been expressed to him by the young lady herself, that it was desired to break the engagement, be had left the neighbourhood of Moorwood House and walked, a distance of twelve or fourteen miles, to Cheltenham, atter having left his carpet bag, contain ing 101. and a pathetically written letter announcing the fatal step he was about to take, to her—to be delivered after his departure. Tbe motive that prompted him to walk to Cheltenham before carrying out what was evi dently his fixed resolve, and induced him to choose the union premier for its accomplishment is not explained. The deceased was an envelops maker named Frederick Green, and he lived at Tottenham. An old widow lady, named Lock, has just died at the age of 92, in Newport, in the Isle of Wight. She was the widow of • volunteer of that name in the days when Bnonapsrte threatened to invade England. Mr. Lock was accidentally shot dead at a volunteer review upwards of 60 years ago.
