An opinion of the soundness of this security, and of the value of the distributive share of surplus profit offered to the Deben ture-holders, may be formed from reports annexed to the printed particulars, and the consideration that Trouville is one of the choicest marine resorts in France, where the noblesse spend their summer. It lies on the coast of Normandy, opposite to Havre, directly south of the Isle of Wight, and possesses one of the largest and most comfortable hotels in France. public rooms, gardens, walks, slopes green to the water's edge, and sands superior to those of Scarborough or Ramsgate.

The more carefully the division list comes to be examined, the more remarkable, emphatic, and pro foundly interesting as a Parliamentary event appears to be the decision arrived at by the House of Commons at three o'clock yesterday morning. It is simply decisive of the Second Reading, that outspoken resolve on the part of the popular branch of the Legislature. It may be regarded at once—it is re garded at once by friend and foe alike—as decisive of the whole question as to the ulterior transformation, before the close of the present session, of the Irish Church Bill into the Irish Church Enactment. Vir tually the deed is already done. The measure has only to pass through its appointed stages—through the Committee and the Third Reading in the Com mons, through all three readings, and the inter mediate Committee of the Lords—and the magi cal words will then be duly pronounced which will make that measure no longer a Bill, but an Act passed during the first session of the Eighth Parliament of Queen VICTORIA. Scanning the numbers on this division, two great facts are especially noticeable, as it were, on the very surface. Out of the 658 members constituting the aggregate of the House of Commons, as many as 623 were there, actually in the House, at the time of the division. The other conspicuous fact being—that of those 623 there were so many of the " Ayes to the Right" that the result was a clear majority of 118 on the side of the Government. In savine , this: hilvg ever, the force ut tnose numbers cannot be said to be in any way fully apparent. Their full force only becomes apparent when the particulars in regard to them have been more carefully examined. Ostensibly, for example, seeing that 623 out of 658 were there, it would appear that there were thirty-two members who failed to put in an appearance. Nothing of the kind And for this reason, that the House of Commons, in point of fact, consisted at the time—consists now—of 643, and not of 658 members. Fifteen seatswere then, and are still at this moment, unoccupied. Horsham, for example, because of the double return, has never been represented at all since the meeting of the new aga in, the late hon. member for Parliament.w `Vest s Somerset,Thenthe,Hon. HENRY WYNDHAM, has but very recently been removed to the House of Lords, by reason of the death of his father, the late Baron LECONFIELD, son of the last Earl of EGREMONT. Be sides, which, thirteen members, wrongly re turned, have been unseated on petition, and their places as yet are not filled up. Fifteen vacancies, in all, there are, as we have but just now intimated. But, even then, of the twenty members who still have to be accounted for, as not having put in an appearance on the night or morning of the division, hardly one of them was there, but must be said to have had no choice at all, or hardly any choice, in remaining absent from the House on the occasion. For instance, the member for St. Ives was away be cause of his having met with an accident, which has for the time being absolutely disabled him. Then, again, the noble lord the member for Chester was under the very recent affliction of the death of one of his infant twin children. As second son of the late Lord LECONFIELD, the mem ber for West Cumberland, the Hon. PERCY WYND HAM, was precluded, by the death of that nobleman, from tendering his vote yesterday on the side of the Opposition. Uncertain as to whether after all he may not, even yet, be declared by the judge to have been unduly returned as member for Manchester, Mr. Illson BIRLEY has wisely abstained from voting, knowing very well that, in the just possible event of his being unseated on the petition now under trial against him, he would be mulcted in the full amount of the penalty incurred by those venturing to vote, thus, under such very questionable circumstances. Seven paired on each side, making fourteen who indirectly may be said to have pronounced their opinion upon the measure, what though ab sent personalty from the House and consequently from the division. Among the five other members who were absent, without even pairing, there were two Liberals and three Conservatives—the two Liberals being the right hon. baronet the member for Tate worth and the honourable member for Canterbury —while the three Con servatives were the hon. and gallant member for Dover, the hon. member for Wareham, and the hon. member for Buckinghamshire. Of the fifteen vacant seats, seven were for Norwich, Cashel, Sligo, Dublin, West Sussex, Dumfries County, and Horsham —the last, as already remarked, by reason of the double return. As for the eight other vacant seats, making up the fifteen, they were, two a-piece, in the following four Constituencies _Beverley, Hereford, Blackburn, and Bridgewater. Four Conservatives only voted for the Bill —namely, Lord BINGIIAM, Mr. EWING, Mr. MATHEWS, and Colonel VANDELEUR. Six Liberals on the other hand voted against it that is to say, Sir ROBERT CLIFTON, Mr. MARRIOTT DALWAY, Mr. WILLIAM JOHNSTON, Mr. WELLWOOD MAXWELL, Mr. EDWARD SAUNDERSON, and, most notably of all, Sir ROUNDELL PALMER. Among the 368 who voted for the abolition of the Irish Church, it is worthy of particular note, in regard to the member for Peter borough, that for once he forgot " No Popery'' and thought only of Justice for Ireland. AFTER a majority of 118 there is little more to be said about the great parliamentary fight. IThis coronae opus. A debate in which the arguments were over whelmingly upon one side was completed by a division in which the majority was equally overwhelming. There have been times, too many and too recent, in which numbers have been on one side, logic on the other. True, in course of years the position has been improved, but as a rule this has been effected only after a hard fight. It took years to reconcile the antagonism between heads and brains on such questions as Parliamentary Reform, Free Trade, and the Removal of Religious Disabilities. But this question of the Irish Church has been raised and settled within a single year. We say settled, because there is no doubt that the bill will go through the Commons unaltered in its essen tial features; and it is more than probable that the Lords will shew a wise prudence by declining to reject a measure backed by such a majority of the repre sentative House elected on this very question. We cannot be too grateful for this satisfactory promptitude. Religious animosities are the worst of animosities, and so long as this question remained undecided, so long would they go rankling and increasing every year. Mr. HARDY attempted to intimidate the Ministerialists and to cheer his own supporters by recalling the events which followed the Reform Bill of 1832. He said the Liberal majority was then even larger than it is now; yet in two and a half years Sir 11 onEur PEEL was Prime Minister. Mr. HARDY forgot to add that Sir ROBERT became Prime Minister only through the unconstitutional action of the sovereign, and that in spite of King WILLIAM'S supporthe could not retain office for six months. He forgot to add that in less than half a year the Liberals were back again, and remained in power for sixyears. He forgot to add that they went out in 1834 because they had quarelled about the Irish Church; and that they went out in 1841 because of the fatuous indolence of Lord MEL BOURNE. Between then and now there is no sort of parallel. The present Cabinet is at unity about the Irish larch. Mr. GLADSTONE is the very opposite of LorIiIELBouRNE, and has a perfect hunger for work. he party must be very badly off which can find nother source of consola tion than an historical incicit which has no bearing upon the present position. In truth, it is best for ti Conservatives as well as for the Liberals that thfirst should remain out of office for the present. 'rend is discontented, dis loyal. It has to be Ide the reverse, and for that work the Ccervatives are quite incompetent. Mr. HART, who may be con sidered the real leader oihis party so far as this question is conceml, and whose speech was expected to be the al defence of the Irish Church, had not a single ggestion to offer. His oration was one long accuttion against the Irish people, which, even if it were true, was useless, because it did not shew how they were to be made any different or bat& If he could devise no legislation to amend that site of things which his colleague, Lord STANLEY, 6clarcd to be dangerous and disgraceful, we know nt who on that side of the House could. If, as GLADSTONE pointed out, the report of the oyal commission was treated as waste paper by its chief author, Dr. BALL, and if, as is undeniably this and Lord MAYO'S policy of levelling-up are the only alternatives that have ever been suggested by the Conservatives, both of which are now abandoned, it is inevitable that the nation will not have for its leaders men so inadequate to the present gnat occasion. On the other hand, the plan put forward by the Government is simple, thorough, honest. Everybody can under stand it ; the great majority of the nation approves it. No one knows this better ttan the Minister who resigned rather than meet the brces arrayed against him. No one has better reason to wish this question finally disposed of.

That a man just snatched from the very jaws of oath should immediately begin a course of dissipation seems nearly impossible. But in the Black Country the people seem bent on chewing the nineteenth century, notwithstanding civilisation, there are still heathens in the world, and heathens, too, surrounded by that which is called the cul tured and refined. Take the case of the man Skid more, for instance, who has just been saved from dying at. Brierley Hill. This is the account given of him by the Birmingham Post:—" Of Skidmore (better known as Mug house) the fighting man, a sad tale of folly and ingratitude for the help which saved his life, has to bo told. We have already told of his conduct when brought to the surface, but, though unseemly, it did not appear to be rudely meant. Ho owed his wonderful condition, it is understood, to the fact that ho was in training, and it enabled him to practice what may ultimately cost him a danger ous illness or his life. After he had been at home for a short time, he sallied out into the streets and commenced drinking. lie, of course, was at once surrounded by a crowd of eager sight-seers, and offers of liquor, and even money, were numerous. Unfortunately he accepted the, to him, poisonous draughts, end ho became intoxicated. lie entered ono inn in Brierley Hill, but the landlord very pro perly refused to allow him to have anything to drink, took him into a private room, and made him promise to go straight home. This Skidmore promised faithfully to do, but ho called at a beerhouso ou his road home, and had more to drink. Tho police carefully watched him to pre vent his falling into danger during the night thus spent. During the night ho was very unwell, but yester day morning ho was again in the streets, to all appear ance in good health. It is believed, however, that another night like that of Monday will so seriously interfere with him that deplorable results may follow." The men who are recovering have begun to tell their stories. Although perhaps they add much by way of detail, there is very little new in what they say. Of Ashman, who went mad, quite a tragedy in itself is told. It is said that ho had previously suffered from slight abberrations of the mind. It is a well known fact among his mates that he was afraid of working in a "stall" by himself, and always begged for companionship when ho &Xis found an easy - piece of coal f A n ' 4 r'ea, and pushed forward rapidly, the deceased would call to some of them, and beg or offer a pipe of tobacco or a little drink, in order that ho might have some ono near him. This habit led to some disagreeable rumours as to his antecedents, and a dark story, in which he is said to havo been a prominent actor, is told glibly to any per son who may care to hear it, Of the truth of this story nothing can be learned ; but if it be true, a more complete assertion of the power of conscience could not possibly be found WARLIKE PREPARATIONS IN xuIiKEY. The Pall Mall Gazette is not satisfied with the recent statement that the quarrel between Turkey and Persia was to be peacefully settled. It says that the dispute about the frontier question is beginning to look threatening. Midhat Pasha, one of the ablest and most energetic of the Turkish governors, has been despatched to Bagdad with full powers and instructions to settle the difficulty by force of arms if necessary. Numerous reinforcements of troops and artil lery have been sent to the frontier, and it is said that the Viceroy of Egypt has promised to assist the Sultan, in case of war, with a military contingent, which would proceed to Bagdad by the Red Sea and Bassorah. In its home administration, too, the Ottoman Government is shewing an energy and activity which have hitherto been very unusual among Turkish functionaries. Strict instructions have been issued to the local authorities to suppress all attempts at revolutionary agitation, and in some districts these instructions have been carried out with extreme severity. At Toultcha, in Bulgaria, the police, having found a small quantity of gunpowder in a shop, arrested the proprietors, two young men 20 years of age, for con spiracy. They were c3ndemned to four years' hard labour. and, though the French Consul warmly interceded in their behalf, the sentence was confirmed by the governor. Shortly after one of the young men became ill, and died in irons on the day he was taken to the hospital. This affair is said to have caused great excitement among the Bulgarians, and the French, English, and Austrian Con suls have made representations to Constantinople on the subi ect. A long inquiry took place on Wednesday before Mr. Carter, the coroner, on the death of Annie Burden, who, it was supposed, had been wilfully pushed into the Thames and drowned, under the circumstances already reported. The jury eventually found that the death was accidental. EASTER, 1809.—The Rev. Francis Pigou, in cumbent of St. Philip's, Regent-street, writes :—" It may interest such of your readers as are not already aware of the fact, to know that the Jewish Feast of Passover happens this year on precisely the same clay as that on which it was observed at the time of the crucifixion of our Lord." ANOTHER, SCANDAL IN HIGH LlFE.—Proceedings in the Divorce Court are imminent in the case of a War wickshire county family, of great antiquity, and having large territorial possessions. The paternity of the lady's child is denied by the husband. The establishment is to be broken up, and the husband will go abroad. Several aristocratic personages are unpleasantly mentioned in con nection with this affair. —Telegraph.

The trade societies iu the town repudiate any complicity in the writing or any knowledge of the letter. The Lord Mayor of Dublin, at a meeting of the Dublin Corporation on Tuesday, expressed tho pleasure he felt at the reception he had from her Majesty and the mem bers of the Ministry upon the occasion of his recent visit to London, to present petitions and addresses.

A communication from the Lord- Lieutcnant was read, announcing the intended visit of his Royal Highness Prince Arthur to Dublin. A committee of the whole house was then formed, and an address to his Royal Highness Prince Arthur was adopted. SANG FROID.—The Deccan Herald chronicles the execution of two natives in the following fashion :—" Sus pense :—Two natives were suspended from a beam in front of the city gaol on the morning of Saturday last.. Death ensued in the way which it usually does when strangulation is resorted to for the purpose of terminating life. The men mat their fate with that degree of quietness which, in the absence of true religion, answers exceedingly well as a sedative." MORTALITY AMONG BARONETS. —NO less than 14 baronets have died since the beginning of this year, namely, Admiral Sir Lucius Curtis, Sir Charles Slings by, Sir John K. James, Sir Robert Shaw, Sir J. Vanden Bempde Johnstone, Sir Robert S. Adair, Sir John P. Boileau, Sir James Emerson Tennent, Sir William Clay, Admiral Sir Charles C. Parker, Sir H. M. Jervis White .Jervis, the Rev. Sir Frederick Shelly, Sir John Thomas Selwin, and Sir John Hadley D'Oyly. Of the above baronets two—Slingsby and Johnstone—were killed while out hunting. SOUTHERN ITALY.—A Neapolitan correspondent writes :—" For a fortninght all the scourges of the elements have been let loose upon us. Rain, hail, snow, thunder, lightning, and tempestuous winds have assailed us from day to day, astonishing everyone by the strangeness of the phenomena. One day last week Naples was covered with a light yellow dust which had no affinity with any thing on Vesuvius. The report of pending eruption got about, but Professor Palmieri announced that the moun tain was in its normal state, and that the dust or sand was brought by the tempestuous south-east wind from Africa. A similar incident, noted by a German writer, occurred some years ago." . _ MURDER OF A WARDER BY A CONVICT AT PORT LAND.—A most brutal murder has been perpetrated by a convict, named Dethridge, the victim being an assistant w trder of the Portland Convict Prison, named Joseph Trevitt. It appears that the warder was in charge of a gang of convicts who were at work in the quarries. Whether there was any dispute between the convict and the deceased has not transpired, but the convict suddenly raised the pickaxe with which he was working and struck the warder on the head, inflicting a most frightful wound. This blow laid the poor fellow prostrate, and the convict was secured before he had time to inflict a second. Trevitt was immediately removed to the prison infirmary, where he r,Teived every attention at the hands of the medical staff, but he never regained consciousness, and expired about three o'clock in the afternoon. The unfortunate man was a in,;st kind and forbearing officer, and it is said has never orted a convict since he has been at Portland. He leav, s a widow and three children. The prisoner, who is a middle-aged man, it is said bears but a very indifferent liaracter. - • • FRANCE. BOURSE, March 24.—Three o'clock.—The market closed as follows :- 4i per Cent.

NOTE PAPER.—The production of note paper of a. superior kind has long been the subject of experiment with manufacturers ; but until lately no improvement could be made on that in general use, and therefore it was looked upon as certain that extreme excellence had been attained ; but this conclusion did not seem satisfactory to Mesbrs. Partridge and Cooper of Fleet-street, who deter- Mined to continue operations until some new result was attained. Their perseverence has been rewarded, for they have at last been able to produeo a Lew description of paper, which they call '• Club-house Note," and surpasses anything of the kind in ordinary use. The new paper is beautifully white, its eurfaco is as smooth as polished ivory, and its substance nearly resembles that of vellum, so that the writing thereon presents an extraordinary cleat ness and beauty. A steel pen can be used upon it with the facility of a goose quill, and thus one great source of annoyance has been completely superseded. We feel certain that a trial of the new note paper will lead to its general adoption in all the aristocratic clubs at the West End, as well as by the public at large, as its price is not in excess of that charged for an inferior article. Governor Geary, on the evening of Mareh 8, signed the death warrants in the case of George S. Twitchell for the murder of Mrs Mary E. Hill, and Gerald Eaton for the murder of Timothy Heenan. Thursday, April 8, is the day cosigned for the double execution. PRESBYTERIANISM IN LONDON. The Duke of Argyll on Wednesday laid the memorial stone of a new Presbyterian church in Camden Park-road. It is a large and handsome building of a free kind of Italian-Gothic architecture, and accommodating 720 worshippers, without the aid of galleries!. The church is a transplant from Caledonian-road, Islington, where the congregation soon outgrew the limited building which they occupied until recently. This new church, with adjoining lecture-hall, was accordingly commenced, and for several months past the congregation have used the lecture-hall for their Sunday services. The total cost will be about £B,OOO, and between £2,000, and £l,OOO have yet to be raised. The site has been purchased from the Marquis of Camden for £l,OOO. The Rev. Mr. Dinwiddie, the minister of the church, presided, and con ducted some preliminary devotions. Afterwards the Rev. Dr. Chalmers delivered an address, and a procession escorted the Duke of Argyll to the front, where the memorial stone was formally laid. Upon returning to the church, his Grace addressed the ccngregation, expressing the pleasure he felt in having the opportunity of seeing the erection of a church which was destined to be the place of worship of a large number of his fellow-country men. Ile was not one of those who believed that one body or form of government alone had r.utherity in the Church of Christ ; and he frequently worshipped in the Episcopal Church, with its beautiful and affecting Liturgy, and could fully appreciate the advantages which, under certain circumstances, were afforded by it. lie was, however, a loyal member of the Presbyterian Church, loving her simple worship, and remembering her amongst his earliest associations. He desired to see a great amount of liberty left to each congregation, and this might be en joyed in perfect consistency with the spirit of Presbyte rianism. 'There was abundance of room for a church like this, for it had been well said that there were more Scotch men in London than in Edinburgh. lle earnestly expressed his desire to see all branches of the Presbyterian Church united ; so far as he knew, they were merely separated by abstract differences upon such questions as the relations between Church and State, whith had no practical bear ing upon their position in this country.

This held good, he feared, with regard to the Scottish as well as English churches in London, although if there was one peculiarity more than another in Scotland, it was the universal atten dance of the working classes in the parish churches. In conclusion, he wished to impress upon the ministers pre sent that no pulpit that did not reach the poor could be said to fulfil the divine mission. THE HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY. A Special General Court of the Hudson's Bay Company was held on Wednesday, to consider the proposal of Lord Granville, the Colonial Minister, for transferring to Canada the jurisdiction and territorial rights of the company in North America. There was a large attendance both of directors and shareholders, and the proceedings were marked by considerable excitement. Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE, who occupied the chair, made a long speech. He entered into a history of the scheme, and the six years' negotiations which had been carried on. The charter had been granted to the company upwards of 200 years since ; during that time the title to the land had been frequently challenged, and on more than one occasion had been made the subject of parliamentary inquiry, and opinions of the legal officers of the Crown had been obtained upon it. He believed that their title was as good as any charter could possibly make it, the only difficulty upon that point being that the limits were not defined. Six years ago the present company !vas formed to carry on the business on a new basis : it was intended to continue the fur trade, and to adopt a system of colonisation, and a prospectus was issued containing the nature of the operations that were to be undertaken. The scheme was submitted to the Colonial Minister of the day, and it had the 'learty support of every one interested. The carrying on the fur trade had been sufficiently productive for the company ; but for the purposes of colonisation some form of government was necessary. When the late Duke of Newcastle was asked to establish a form of government there, he positively refused to do so unless the company would give up all title to the land. To this proposal the directors replied that they would sell the land for £1,000,000 ; that offer was refused. The Government were asked to make an offer, to which the Duke of Newcastle replied by offering £250,000 for the whole of the company's land. A counter proposition was made to Canada of the land for £1,000,000. In the meantime the Duke of Newcastle died, and then came a claim from Canada, and Government was asked to stay their hand in the matter, which they, taking the part of Canada, consented to do. Ultimately an Act was passed by the Canadian Government, con taining a clause giving to her Majesty's Government the to transfer Ilupert's Land to the governor; and in 1867 a resolution was passed and addressed to the Government, in which they agreed to arrange with private parties for their rights. Before anything could be done the Government brought in a bill authorising the company to surrender, and the Government to accept, the territory, and the directors were asked to name the terms upon which they would recommend their share holders to agree to the transfer. The terms were sent to the Duke of Buckingham on Ist December, 1868, and he objected to them. At that stage of the proceedings Lord Kimberley ceased to be chairman, and he (Sir Stafford Northcote) came into office.. The question then was what should he done. The Duke of Buckingham was asked to introduce a system of colonisation, but he said, " Go on and colonise yourselves." Just at time Canada threw in a long letter of abuse, disputing the title, and refusing to recognise the rights of the proprietors, but, in order to save litigation, were willing to give £106,000, f , .nd, in the event of the company not accept ing that offer, threatened to get the Queen to :ransfer the land to them. Lord Granville had posi ively refused to assist in colonising the country, and stated that if the offer of £300,000 was not accepted, he should bring the matter before the Privy Council. If the terms were accepted, the company would still retain their trading rights, and would be entitled to one -twentieth of all the land set out. The directors did not consider that the terms were such as ought to have been offered, but they considered that if the question of the title should be raised again,it might possibly lead to endless litigation, and they thought it only fair that the terms should be looked at in a business-like way. The £300,000 would produce an income to the co m pany of £15,000 a y ear . It was true that the imports necessary for carrying on the trade would be taxed ; but such would be the case if the British Government assumed th e sovere i gnty, and the com p an y would not, in that case, get the £15,000 a year, and there would be no one to assist in laying out the roads and adapting the land for settlement. He urged uponthe troprietors to accept the offer without any long delay. l o ng, stormy, and exciting discussion ensued. An adjournment of the meeting till May 6th was urged, but the motion was, on the solicitation of the right hon. chairman, withdrawn. Another resolution was then moved for adjournment till the 7th of April. This was carried. The Keble College is expected to be finished by Easter, 1870. TILE NEW BISFIOP FOR NATAL.—It is stated that in order to be.,present at the c in:Leeration of Bishop Macrorie, the assisting bishops (Grahamstown, St. He:er.a, and Orange River Free State) had to travel over an aggre gate of 5,500 miles, including to one of them a journey of 1,800 miles in a waggon over the Karroo in the middle of an African summer. Almost immediately after the consecration the assistant bishops left for their distant homes. THE ACCIDENT TO THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.— We are enabled to give an authentic account of the in iuries sustained by the Lord Chief Justice from the accident which befell him on the race-course at Lewes on the 15th inst. Directly the casualty occurred, Drs. Morrison and Smythe were sent for ; but, owing to their absence, the patient was attended by Dr. Rigden, who found, on examination, that his lotdship's right temple presented a severe bruise, and that" in falling across the chain he' had fractured one of the lower ribs on the same side. There have been, however, no head symptoms, although the fractured rib still causes pain. He is making a very good recovery, and it is expected that in a few days he will be well enough to return to town.—The Lancet. DISESTABLISTIMENT AND DISENDOWMENT TN ALASKA.—The Russian clergy in Alaska, it is reported, are suffering serious inconvenience from the transfer of that country to the United States. Under ili Russian rule the members of the Greek Church were obliged to pay a tax for the support of their pastors. The United States authorities, on taking possession, declined to collect taxes for the Russian clergy and the people, not being disposed to make any voluntary offerings, the pastors were left entirely without resources. They then appealed to the Synod at St. Petersburg, which decided that they should remain under the protection and in the pay of the Russian Government as before, and be subject to the jurisdiction of the Synod. This decision, it is stated, is objected to by the United States Government, since it is unwilling to tolerate any " protection " by a foreign Power of persons residing in its dominions, and the journals of St. Petersburg are already warmly pleading ix Q 1 thtkpronst ckutameA, SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Times thinks that the most sanguine Irish Pro. testant must now confess that the Irish Establishment has received its death-blow. The vote of the House of Commons on Mr. Gladstone's Resolution last yew declared that the establishment ought to be abolished. The votes of the constituencies at the hustings declared that it must be abolished. The vote on Wednesday morn. ing declared that it shall be abolished. It was thought, or rather hoped, that the difficulties of the task might prove too much even for the present Ministry. There must, it was said, be dissensions in the Cabinet over a scheme necessarily so complex. It was inevitable that some blots would be discovered in the Government measure sufficient to detach a few from one or the other extreme wing of their supporters. Nothing of the kind has happened. The bill is not perfect, but even if its imperfections were incapable of amend. :tent, the Liberal party have proclaimed as one man that it would be infinitely better to approve the bill as it stands than to do anything to place its ultimate success in danger. Fortunately, indeed, there is every disposition on the part of the Government to remove what is faulty, and to supply what is deficient, so that the steadfastness of the party will be exposed to no difficult test. On Wednesday morning the Liberals responded to the call upon then with unprecedented unanimity. Not a single man of mark, except Sir lloundell Palmer, went over to the Opposition, and there was but one member of the party absent from the division whose absence requires explana tion. It seems probable there were fewer absentees than were ever before known in the annals of the House of Commons, and the hearty unanimity of the Liberal partYi and their unflinching steadiness at the division, may be said to supersede further argument on the Irish Church Bill. The Standard declares that a majority of 113 is a great fact, although it appears all the less formidable the more it is sifted and analysed. It is very little less than double the majority by which Mr. Gladstone's first resolution Was carried last session, and yet we may look it in the face without being in any way appalled. Custom has familiarised us with imposing Liberal majorities, which prove to be singularly unsubstantial the moment they --r.r.ol.ect and bandied. The Conservatives entered upon the session of 1832 with a majority of exactly one. After the appeal to the con' stitueecies under the new Reform Act the Liberal, numbered 3134. How their majority was frittered away until, iu 1841, it disappeared, as Mr. Gathorns Hardy said on Tuesday, like a mist before the sun, is a matter of history. Mr. Hardy did well in recal' ling the fact at a time when Constitutionalists are too apt to be frightened by the threatening aspect of the fortui• tons concourse of discordant atoms which is called :fir' Gladstone's majority. The right hon. gentleman is in an excellent position to reassure us as to the vanity of political aspirations built upon the shifting foundations of numerical superiority. He opened the session of 1866 with an overwhelming force at his back recruited to the Liberal standard by the prestige of Lord Palmerston. Within three months he had converted his majority of eighty int ° an absolute minority. We have no right to doubt the capacity of such a party with such a leader to repeat the experience of former years, for there never was a time when the Liberals were more deficient in cohesive force or when they were led by a chief less qualified for enforcing discipline or inspiring them with unity of purpose. Th ° majority of Wednesday was created for the occasion. I t was born into the world for the express object of affirming the principle of disestablishment and disendowment. has discharged that duty to the letter, but it has not travelled an inch beyond its commission. The Telegraph observes that the great controversy is practically closed. The Irish Church has met with its Sadowa. An old ecclesiastical empire has fallen in 51 brief campaign—indeed, we may say,in one pitched battle. This, we believe, is unprecedented in our political history' It must be remembered that the bill of last year wa s merely preliminary, and that Mr. Gladstone's present ' measure is the first that has ever been introduced into do British Parliament, by any statesman of eminence, for the abolition of the Irish State Church. Yet such a bill 10 ' on the first division as to its principle, been affirmed hi the enormous majority of 118. No "gigantic issue," t ° use Mr. Disraeli's words, has ever before been decided so speedily. Yet the Irish Church som e " entrenched in prejudices stronger even than those that surrounded Protestant ascendancy, the nomination boroughs, or the Corn Laws. Strong religious sentiment seemed to invest it with a halo. " No-Popery" fau ati .; cism regarded it as a bulwark. In the minds of many cautious statesmen it was inexplicably associated with the maintenance of imperial institutions. Yet, when the hour of its decisive trial came, it was what we may almost call summarily condemned. Four nights' debate e xhauste d , the arguments on both sides, and three hundred Year s prescription availed nothing against the demand for i' ls. Lice. We confess that the completeness of our victory is in some senses as surprising as it is satisfactory. We of the progressive school who, not satisfied with past P s ' tice, are always "asking for more," have unhappily bee n forced to learn patience in our years of agitation; labour and to wait has been the lot of Liberals for years. When we sat down before this old ecclesiastical fortress we almost anticipated a long siege. We thought that it might take years to make the nation feel the justice of our • 60' attack. We thought that a strong parliamentary nun ° c l might vigorously attempt to raise the siege. We fe f that the preaching from " twenty thousand Pu l P l threatened by an illustrious statesman of the would be organised against us, and with effect. Bu t o f victory has come quickly, decisively, and with astoundl force. stat e* The Post says it is satisfactory to learn, from the st a r meat of Mr. Chichester Fortescue in the House of L'° o u t mons on Tuesday, that the questions pro early arising ° lit of the demonstration which the released I enians tbn u g o f it not indecent to make at Cork, under the presideneY,o the chief magistrate of that city, have been referrec.Va the law officers of the Crown.
