LIGHTS ON THE CHURCH. IT may seem hardly worth while, in the thick of a great controver-y, to turn aside to consider the views of individual politicians who find themselves unable, from one cause or another, to go heartily, or to go the whole way, with the leaders on either side. At this moment Tories and Liberals have set the battle in array, and the question of the Irish Church is to be fought out on the hustings next November. If Mr. DISRAELI wins, the Irish Church will r.•main; if Mr. GLADSTONB wins, it win be abolished. Nothing can be simpler than this alternative ; and why, it may be asked, should we trouble ourselves about this man's scruples or that man's ulterior views ? A year ago, when opinions were forming, every straw bad its importance as an indication of the form the issue would eventually take. Now, when the creed of the respective parties has crystallised into a sharply defined formula, who cares for the few atoms that have got displaced in the process, and are now striving to maintain an impossible independence between the larger masses by one or other of which they must in the end be inevi tably attracted ? There would be more plausibi lity about this view of the matter ii it allowed something for the reaction which is sure to follow upon a great victory. Let it be granted that next November will practically trans fer the government of the country into Mr. GLAD STONE'S hands, and leave him in possession of a majority so decided as to make resistance for the moment impossible. This state of things will not last long in its integrity. As soon as the Distvtab lishment Bill is once introduced, a score of cross currents will appear in the parliamentary ocean. The principle of diasstablishrnent upon which so delightful a unanimity seemed to prevail will turn out to Lave meant one thing to one man and another thing to another. Decided dissatis faction will be manifested in this quarter, hints of secession will be darkly whispered in that, and in the long fight about details"' watchful opposition may find many opportunities of tempting Liberal malcontents by some fair-seeming proposal of compromise. Ile who would be on his guard against this system of tactics will do well to master the exceptional views which are from time to time put forward. As long as the issue lies broadly be tween the maintenance or the abolition of the Church Establishment in Ireland, these views Lave :no influence, But when onoe that issue has been decided in favour of abolition, those who wish to minimise the revolution they have fined to avert will look about them for the most presentable bait with which to detach de serters from the Liberal phalanx. Where can they so easily find what they are in search of as in the suggestions that have been already thrown out by men whose names are a sure passport to the re spect, if not always to the support, of Liberals ? It is this which gives importance to what may be called the side lights in which the question of the Irish Church is presented from time to time. If we take the trouble to form a definite judgment on these now, we may find hereafter that the trouble has not been thrown away. Again and again in the history of Parliamentary oontesta a principle which seemed set at rest by the division on the second reading has been unsettlod by an amendment in committee, and the views of mon who do not go thoroughly with either party are just the stuff out of which amendmente in com mit 140 um matte. _ . Ihe are eelles of the two most eminent lawyers in the Liberal side have lately furnished us with slmosite illustrations of this cant on. We may I fifty e'er the reservations which have prevented Sir 1:011CI , E1.1. PAI.IIISIt from voting for Mr. Oisti t•soisr.'s Resolutions, or the apprehensions which ltd Mr. Cot.seinon to declare that when it comes to the appropriation of the oomponsation money he may be compelled to divide against his loader, but in doing so we shall only be neglecting an opportunity of oonaidoring beforehand proposals which are more than likely to present themselves hereafter in a highly practical shape. For this reason we went out of our way, ea it may have seemed to some, to mark the point of divergence between us and Mr. Come neon ; and for this reason we recommend our readers not to think lightly of Bir Itotrirem PaLiesa's speech at Richmond, because it seems to have no immediate bearing on the coming oleo tiona. In one respect we think So-• Roosentr. Pstatita has been hardly judged by most of his critics. He proposes in Went to disestablish the Irish Church without disendowing It ; and it is commonly answered that to do this would be to concede the form and withhold the substance of a settlement. Now, we agree with Sir ROUNDILL PALMER in thinking that in its own nature dis eetablishment is by far the more important ele ment of the two. He defined an establishment as consist . ng " in the incorporation of the ecole " elastics' law of the Church into the public law " of the land—giving legal and coercive juris " diction to the officers of that Church to compel by process of law the exaction of their own " laws; and in various secular dignities, privi " leges, and other incidents not recognised by " law as belonging to the officers or institutions "of any voluntary Church." In Ireland, Sir Roes - PELL Bauman admits that " the enjoy " went of such political distinctions by the •• Church of a very small minority may rea " sonably be thought a remnant of the odious " political ascendancy of former times ;" and he is consequently prepared to withdraw them. We have no doubt that it was the fact of its being established that gave the Irish Church its sting in the first instance. The Anglican in cumbents might have been so many Crcestutes, supposing them to have had no exceptional con nection with the State, without exciting in the Roman Catholic population a tenth part of the sense of wrong and injustice caused by their form ing one of the governing institutions of Ireland. Sir Romenzia. Paniza's mistake seems to us to be this—he forgets that, when two characteristics have co-existed in the same corporation for centuries, it may be impossible to dissociate the two ideas in the minds of the people, and consequently that as long as the people see one remaining they will believe that the other is there too. This is just the state of the case in Ireland. Disestablish the Church without disondowing it, and, though an educated Roman Catholic would know that the ecclesiastical situation had undergone a radical change, the Roman Catholic peasant would see no alteration whatever. It must never be forgotten, in legislating for the Irish people, that we have to conquer a profound disbelief in our intention of doing them justice. That disbelief is the natural fruit of our own policy, ar_d we must be content to spend much patient effort in uprooting it. But to this end we must be willing to think a great deal of the appearance as well as of the substance of our dealings with them. We cannot afford to take for granted that what we do will be favourably in terpreted, or that such external anomalies as we may h ace untouched will be estimated at no more than their real importance. The chances are that the exact reverse of this will hold good ; and, if this is so. to abolish the Irish Establishment without withdrawing those endowments which, in the eyes of a majority of Irishmen, are its visible symbol, would be to destroy the whole effect of a great act of national justice, and to leave the Irish Church in the enjoyment of its old distinction as one of the deepest and most subtle causes of Irish dis content. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 8, 1868. MR. ROEBUCK AGAIN. Tim general election, casting its shadows before, appears to have almost persuaded Mr. ROEBUCK to be a " prudent man." It is impossible to attri bute so sudden and miraculous a conversion as that of Mr. ROEBUCK to good manners to the universal protest of his fellow countrymen which his recent exhibition at the Cutlers' Feast called forth. For Mr. Romsres has always considered himself be yond and above the criticisms of the press. At all events he has now come forward, in a letter to the Tiwa, to explain away his complimentary speech at the Cutlers' Feast, and to plead Mr. REVERDY JOHNSON'S generous and probably com passionate indulgence in his favour. The TiMPA has dealt with this explanation in a manner which, if not satisfactory to Mr. Roma:rex, will convince everybody else that it might have been more prudent on the part of the representative of Sheffield to hold his peace. It still remains, however, for the Liberal majority of the Sheffield electors to ask themselves whether it may be " prudent " on their part to send again to Parliament, as the representative of so famous and important a town as Sheffield, a man whose public utterances at a foast of international good will are such as every considerable organ of Eng lish opinion deems it a public duty to disavow. MR. DISRAELI'S BAPTISMAL RBOISTER. Last week a correspondent of " A Churchman's Family Newspaper" expressed a doubt whether the Paean= had ever been baptised. The fol lowing authentic document sets such pious doubts at rest, and we gladly publish it for the satisfaction of all whom it concerns : Parish of 84.

" A WORD OF WARNING." b has been pointed out to us by a friendly and experienced critic that some sentences of the remarks which were published on Wednesday last under the above head, and having reference to the Globe, exceeded the limits of fair controversy, and were such as should not be nuiintained. To an appeal of this kind we can never bo indifferent. Our remarks, it may be remembered, were directed against some recent articles which our contempo rary has published in support of the present Go vernment of France, and in the hest and hurry of writing wewerebetrayed,intoexpressionswhioh not only exceeded our meaning and purposo,but exposed our contemporary and ourselves toe very grass and grievous miainkrpretation. We ne►er supposed — and we dot ply and heartily regret having used words which stowed to permit the supposition—that the articles which have lately appeared in the oolumn+ of our contemporary in 'rapport of the preaora Mims li Government bud not boon the fruit of bon 1 fick, independent, and bonnet conviction, and written conscientiously, according to the writer's convictiona, in tl:o interests of European po:►co. '11:e allusion to the Miquing t•hronicle in connection with our contemporary was a slip of the pen which demands apology, and wo wholly withdraw it. In suggesting that the French Government had " aocund the services" of an English journal, wo meant nothing more or worse than suoh honest and independent services as no journal need be ashamed to render to the cause it defends. But the word " services" was, we confess, ambiguous, and susceptible of equivocal interpretation. On the eve of a great party struggle, it is espe cially desirable that we should each and all strive to set en example of chivalrous courtesy in the combat of opinions. Without, therefore, pausing to ask our contemporary whether in this instance the offence, or the provocation, was all our own, we beg the Mat to accept, in the spirit in which we dim them, our unfeigned excuses and regrets. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) Whilst (observe* the Times) polioemen's staves and a relegation to gaol are the only arguments of any force with the actors in the disgraceful scenes of Saturday and Sunday at Manohester, there are persona, whose sub ordinate Mr. Murphy it, who ought to be not altogether beyond the reach of persuasion, and it sake these persons seriously whether they believe that good is done to Protes tantism or harm to Romanian by displays of this doscrip. hoe? It suggests to Mr. Murphy's patrons the duty of weighing the responsibility his demeanour imposes on them. But its trust is rather in the vigour of the magistrates. These functionaries may rest satisfied that in the present case the country will be with them in any exertion they make of their very ample jurisdiction to put down this particularly obnoxious form of outrage. The holly News discovers in Mr. Murphy and his mis chievous doings the strongest 'seeable argument against the continued existence of the Irish establishment. He is just the typical Orangeman, the religieua firebrand and political fanatic which that church of privilege and oppres sion has always produced. Ho embodies and dis plays wherever he appears the blind intolerance, per secuting zeal, and what may be pretty well de scribed as the ingrained malignity of the guanine Orangeman iu every quarter of the globe. It earnestly commends the entire proceedings at Man chester to the notice and criticism of those who identify the cause of proteetaniam with the defence of the Irish establishment. The truth is, that by the intolerable spirit it has nourished, and the breed of malignant fanatics it bas engendered, the Irish church has done more to dis credit proteetantism and disgrace the very name of Christianity than their avowed enemies could have effected. The Tekgraph remarks that Mr. Murphy's conduct and its consequences have been already so thoroughly and soundly judged by the country, that the magistrates may safely put the law effectually in force, without fear that they will be accused of more than a just seal for that main tenance of order. Already, according to the Herald, there are scarcely un certain intimations that if radicals and liberationists will not be propitiated by the downfall of the establishment in Ireland the establishment in England will be abandoned by those liberal politicians, who would strive to make us and themselves hope that it is not at present attacked. For the sake of political honesty the Herald should like to see such flimsy distinctions cast aside. for even Urtiplaton.= could not be fooled by them. ST-4. EUSTON'S LETTER TO HEE TENANTRY.

TUE NEW OABIBALDIAN ZOVIDIENT. To the Times the withdrawal of General Garibaldi from the Italian parliament appeared the most natural thing in the world. But it now finds that Garibaldi's leave-taking from parliamentary life coincides with the publication of the programme or charter of a new secret revolutionary association which announces itself under the appellation of " Vendetta di Neogene." A meeting of the Extreme Left of the house of Deputies has been called together in Naples by Garibaldi's most dangerous friend, Crispi. Already Garibaldi's son Menotti is said to be in the field, and Genoese Carabineers and other volunteers make ready to muster. Unless Garibaldi is at the bottom of the in tended mischief, it is but little that either Crispi, or Wax zini, or any secret association may hops to accomplish, and the Times rather thinks that even Garibaldi's day is past.

OUR PARIS LETTER. (rnox oui owx CORRESPOND/SYS.) PARIS, MONDAY HYRNINO. Tbo news of the day is a panic on the Bourse, which is only accounted for by the credence of a portion of the public in warlike rumours. It is reported that the Emperor before leaving the Chalons camp will make a speech to the army hinting that his great and confident desire to maintain peace is thwarted by Prussian obstinacy. The article in this day's Constitutionnel is construed as a precursor of this speech, At the same time, the official semi-evening papers profess utter ignorant* of any such demonstration and think the panic causeless. The groat fact, however, is that, in spite of the efforts notoriously made to support the market, Rentes fell Mc. for cash, and 37,fe. account, for clos ing at 70fr. 30c. and 701 r. 55c. Those were by no means the lowest prices of the day, for Route at one moment was (puns] at 70fr. 3.1 e. All the evening papers, however, say that the tone of the Bourse, in spite of a partial recovery. was bud at the close. The loan, lately in such favour, was quoted with a fall of upwards of I fr. Credit Foneier fell 13fr. Mubilier. Sfr. 7.1 e.

COUNT FIsMARCR'S IIEALTIII.—A Berlin letter has the following :- -"The note published by the Montle-Hr. concerning Count do Bismarck is continued by private information, according to which the count is still suffering free the pains occasioned by his fall. There is, however, no cause for alarm, as the nervous state of the Premier is much improved. A telegram from Hamburg mentions that he contemplated visiting some watering place on the English coast. That piece of news is nut altogether improbable. His medical adviser had recom mended sea-lathing, and as the season is now rather far advanced the Federal Chancellor may select some locality In the south of England, where therlimate is milder." FREEDOM 01 EXPRENSION FRANCE.—The Temps publishes a table of the press prosecutions during the tam three months. There have been 41 judgments given against sfi individuals, pronouncing 15 condemna tions to imprisonment and 49 to tines. The penalties amounted in seven instances to 600 fr. ; nine I,ooofr. one I,Sitg/fr. ; throe, 2,ooufv. ; same number of ClIAOt4, 5,000 fr. ; and in two, 10,000 franc• The remainder are for sums of smaller amount. The only journal acquitted was the Opiniom Nattonak, by a decision of the Court of Camution, in the affair of the reports of the legislative debates. The .I,turnal du Havre says :--" The Transat lantic cable from Brest to New York, au undertaking which appeared to commence under such brilliant aus pices, don not appear to go on so well as the shareholders might desire. Great fear is felt that the United States will refuse the conceesion—so far as concerns that govern ment—to Y. Erlanger, who has committed the great crime, in their eyes, of having been the banker of the Southern Staten during the rebellion." . . . . The authorities of Trieste have issued a notice warning all persons to be careful a. 4 to where they bathe, as at this moment there is a large shark in the bay. One man has already been bitten. He was swimming close to • bathing establishment when he was seized by the thigh. He cried out, and a rope was thrown to him, but before he could be pulled from the water the voracious fish again made an attack on him, breaking his leg below the knee. He was conveyed to the hospital, but fears are entertained that the limb will have to be amputated. n ch q' e ttro says:—" The &MOMS "inane:a:re has hands in consequence of the lengthened ill ness of .

In the opening scree, the Count, a young It dial', of dignified and handsome aspect, with a noble soar on the forehead, exhorts the Gs . ..suites', as they drive along • splendid avenue in the park leading to the chateau, to be polite to those poor people who are going to such trouble to ramie() them. lie begs of her to condescend to their low estate, and try to make them forget the superiority of their own august origin. The Infanta agrees under protest to follow her husband's advice. It is so disagree able tb be received in the patios of their common ancestors by—she was going to say upstarts and steamers, but she corrects herself, and says—shengers cocas from Heaven knows where. ass however, consoles herself with the reflection that there can be no doubt of a day of universal restitution, because Sister Patracinio has told her mother so, and meanwhile she will do het bast to treat as as equal the mistress of a house which may be useful, and might be dangerous as an enemy. The 'second scone opens with presentations, salutations, and kissing, which seem cordial. The master of the house is enchanted to receive on his own floor the brother of a prince who execrates him. The count ob serves that no love it. lost between them. The host hopes that his genonsla at Rome show Francis 11. all due atten tion. The Count, admitting their politeness, leaves nothing to be desired, but hints that if General Dumont, instead of wearing out his spine in bowing were to order his troops to act the service would be more valuable. The host says he cannot do everything at once, and adroitly changing the subject of conversation, begs to pre seat his cousin, Murat. "What," says the Count," "are you the son of the man who dethroned my grandfather r' Murat replies that his father's temerity was royally avenged. Hereupon the master of the house interrupting and twirling his moustache, tells his guest that his pros (saki yet dreams of reigning in Naples. "So do I," rejoins the Count, "so we are comrades." "And now, Count, let me introduce to your august notice my grand huntsman, the Prince of Moskowa, son of the illustrious Marshal Ney." The Countess,who has never recovered the disjointieg of her nose in her eighth year by the birth of the Prince of Aeturiss, tartly asks the new corner if he is not the person to whom was addressed the memorable letter of 1849, which, she added, three Roman dukes had assured her only the other day was a fabulous do cument. The prince, politely bowing, is at a loss to con ceive on what grounds the noble Romans in question could have based such a false opinion. " : rap the Countess, " the Romans are terrible humbugs —was not your father in Spain i" " Yea Madam. and he took the liberty of taking Galicia and the Asturias from your august =cutter." The Want's, who has some faint notion of the circumstance from her school reading, indulges in a subdued invective against all who make war upon legitimist princes. The third scene opens with a visit to the rooms in the chateau. One wing dates from Louis XIII., the ancestor of the Count. Some gorgeous allows are souvenirs of Louis XIV., who the Countess remembers was the grandfather of Philippe V., the illustrious founder of Use dynasty to which she belongs. The host revenges himself quietly for these reminiscences by showing them a hall which was restored by his uncle, the giant of his ago— Napoleon I. " Yee, but," says the Spanish lady imme diately, " did he not do 'something more remarkable than this at Fontainebleau i" Her husband nudges her to be 'silent, but in spite of all his hints she goes on to inquire whether one of the principal sights of the chateau was net a certain table, pen, and inkstand. •• Yes,' says the host, with greet frankness, " the illustrious chief of my race abdicated nobly in favour of nip poor cousin, Napoleon 11. When the abominable race of Austria"- - Our cousins ,*• simultaneously exclaim the guests. " I think." resumes the host with imperturbable politeness and good humour. "we should do well not to speak of our relations. Ist me now ask you to trier's,: the odious taste of this gallery, which was fitted up by that po /*argon.. •• My great uncle," exclaim; the count, „ through his wife the venerated Queen Amilie, aunt ,d my augn:t father. - The host in a paternal tone does tell ju-tiee to the entries of that illus trious hole, 0.-dying what a misfortune it was for her to Lave given birth to a man who c ai , tantly cenispired against the widies ..f the French people. •• You titan the Duke a• A u male •:.• says the Countes+. •• My twic over, - inter-rases th, Count, "1 , 0 - he is not only my mother's nephew, but the SOTS-ill-13W 91 my lamented aunt, the Princess ~ f Salerno. - A subtle courtier here suggests that nut the Duke trAutuale but the Duke de Moutpensier is alluded to. ••Oli says theC,eint.

The concluding scene contains a short business dialo,rue by which the Count hopes that his illustrious host will not allow subversive passions to prevail beyond the Pyren;sie, and is told mysteriously that only one thin:, at a time olio be done, and we shall see what we shall lee. In a letter to the Ti,,?e,l Mr. Roebuck ( - E.:claims having hail any intention of disparaging the l'nited States and insulting her minister by the remarks ho made at the Cutlers' Feast at Sheffield, and says he has the best autho rity for saying that Mr. Beverly Johnson did not so con ceive his observations. "Mr. Johnson has, Mr. Roe buck observes, "given me every assurance that he felt greatly pleased by all that had happened since his arrival here, and to myself personally he used expressions of kind ness and friendship which touched me very nearly, which I shall ever remember, but which I need not repeat." Mr. Roebuck's letter being founded on an article in the Tsmea condemning the tone and tenor of his speech, the hon. and learned gentleman concluded with the following characteristic sentence :—" I will only add a passing remark upon the hard words you use when speaking of myself. I rather fancy that my experience in political life is greeter than that of the gentleman who wrote the article of which I am now croaking, and I should have hoped that it might have suggested itself to him while indicting his diatribe that the veteran politician might be right and be himself in the wrong.” A correspondence between Lord Ito'medal° and Sir John Lubbock hes been published.
