After the discussion of the House of Commons his evening, the interest of the session will be trans- ferred to the House of Lords in regard to the Go vernment Bill for the Disestablishinent and Disen dowment of the Protestant Church in Ireland. With the third reading of that bill by the Commons this evening will tezminate tho labour and the respon sibility hitherto devolving through it upon the popular representatives. A final division will have to be taken to-night upon that third reading. If the Opposition could with any decon urn evade the ignominy of once more revealing to the sight of all men their titter,vo•A erle sncss—that is to say, by not challenging another division upon the final wage of the measure's progress through tha Lower House of Parliarnent•- 7 we may rest assured that the third read ing would be allowed to pass in silence. A division, however, is a painful necessity, forced upon tl:ein I y unavoidable c'rcumstanc.:s. The re.,ult of it all, we know perfccey well beforehand. Ilento at every successive stip in regard to this Cie le gislative act (as it is designed to be) of the ses sion—the Liberals have kept together as they have not kept together for years past. They h«e voted all along—upon every occasion--in respect to this great measure of Mr. GLADSTONE'S Go vernment in regard to the Irish Church, with . an unanimity so remarkable that it has almost seemed like an reiterated protest on the part of the Liberals as a body against the sneering dictum Lst session uttered by the right honourable gentleman the member for Kilmarnock. In the new House of Commons—whatever may have been the case in re gard to its immediate predecessor— the Liberal Party, it would be simply absurd to describe, now, as one having leaders who would not lead and followers who would not follow. No leaders could have spoken ,olsore plainly, boldly, clearly, from the first as to their policy—and certainly no followers could have evi denced a more complete, a more instant, or a more unfaltering obedience. The Liberal majority is re matkable for its overwhelming magnitude, but it is still more remarkable, if that be possible, by reason of is persistent unanimity. Its significance is this — its authority may be thus defined—that it is the deli berate out-come of the last General Election. Its opinion is the opinion of the whole country. It is the sense of this that renders the °plass tion so powerless. Nothing is to be gained by that Opposition through withstanding the measure proposed by Mr. GLAD STONE, supported by the Liberal Party, and sustained by the coincident opinions of the great mass of the constituencies. It was upon this very question of the Irish Church that the two great contending parties went to the country immediately upon the dissolution of the late Parliament. The :suspensory Bill of last session was the distinct foreshadowing of the Irish Church Bill of the present session—the bill introduced in fulfilment of the promises deliberately made by the Liberal leaders, promises addressed by them to the House of Commons, and subsequently to the elec tors of the United Kingdom, promises manfully carried out in every particular, directly the present Ministry found themselves face to face with the newly returned representative s of the nation. As a matter of course it would be perfectly pos sible for the Conservative Opposition in the Upper House of Parliament to throw out the Irish Church Bill immediately after it has passed triumphantly at every stage of its progress through the popular branch of the Legislature. They could _do so if they so pleased, for the simple reason that the Conservative Opposition is as unmistakable in a majority in the House of Peers as the Liberal Govern ment is in a majority in the House of Commons. Only--that the present is precisely one of those great crises in the legislative proceedings of the coun try, when, by their resolute exercise of their right of veto as the hereditary legislators of the empire, the Veers of the United Kingdom would be brow_4lit into lirect antagonism with the House of Commons, and, more than that, into direc:, antagonism wi:h the great mass of Public Opinou t hrougboui the country. Political crises of this kind have occurred before now, and upon each ocelsion the House of Lords has deemed it wise to succumb to the clearly expressed decision of the people—a decision expressed, first of all, at the hustings, and afterwards in the House of Commons itself through the speeches and the votes of the popular terrcsentatives. It vas thus in regard to the great question involved in the first comprehensive faeasure of Parliaaientary Reform, the measure in troduced and carried by Earl GREY ;Ind his col leagues. It was thus in regard . to the great ques tion of Catholic Eraaccipati9u. It was thus also in TIIE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, .MAY 3l, 1869. regard to the great measure by means of which Sir, R. PEEL completed the work prepared to his hand by the Anti-Corn League and by the Irish Famine— meaning of course the substitution of the system of Free Trade for the system of Protection. Protest the Lords may, of course, at these mo mentous epochs or crises in the national legisla tion—but yield they have always done when the not yielding would bring them into direct and open conflict .with Public Opinion. It is incon ceivable, therefore, that, in the face of a Public Opinion so " pronounced " as it has been within the last twelvemonth in regard to the Dis establishment and hi-.endowment of the Irish Church, the House of Peels would be so rash, so ill advised, so insensate as to resolve upon throw ing out a Bill passed through the house of Commons by such overwhelming majorities and supported so earnestly throughout the length and breadth of the kind by - the great mass of the constituencies. The Earl of DERBY may surely do with dignity what has been done more than once in his time by the Duke of WELLINGTON. The Iron Duke he was called by a familiar sobriquet and yet—to the force of Public Opinion, as expressed, now through the General Elec tion, now through the. House of Commons, the Iron Duke could yield, has yielded—and that, too, with no derogation to his personal dignity as a leader of party and as a great Statesman. And he could do so, he has done so, thus wisely, for the simple reason that while he was a Tory be was also a Patriot—while he was an earnest Conservative, he was also a loyal Con stitutionalist. Above the interests of party, he re garded the higher interests of the whole community. The powers of the realm—at all sacrifice of feeling and it might even be said iu one sense of consistency —must, he conceived, under no cirtunstances to be allowed to come into actual collision. The necessity for concession in this way is incumbent, it might. be said, quite equally upon the Lords and upon the SOVEREIGN. Theoretically, the Sovereign can, in regard to any measure that is proposed to be transformed into an enactment, de cline to give that Royal assent which is essential in each instance for the completion of that work of trans formation. Theoretically, it stands, thus, in rs.gard to theßoyal assent as—at every time, in every instance, upon every occasion—perfectly optional and certainly voluntary. But—for all that—it would, to our thinking, be little less than iezi majesty to ima gine the Royal assent seriou ly refused to any measure passed through its various stage; and through both Houses of Parliament. According to one of our long-che. isi.ed constitu tional axioms, the KING can do no wrong—and cer tainly he cannot by any loyal subject be imagined (yen to di a wrong like that—a wrong that would strike, so to speak, at the first principles lying as it were at the very roots of the Constitution. is is from a vivid sense of all this that some political philo sophers have shrunk not from asserting that while in theory the Governni2nt of the British Empire still consists of the harmonious co-operation of the three distinct powers of King, Lords, and Commons—the ruling authority after all reposes, in point of fact, clearly and distinctly iu the House of Commons At any rate it works thus. And far from us be the day when the wisdom of its continuing to work thus might be brought harshly and inexorably to the test, whether by House of Peers or by Sovereign Prince. Hitherto harmoni ous scion has been ensure 1 among the estates of the realm, by reason, so to speak, of the el Istic bonds of the Constitution binding them together. It is earn .stly to be hoped that those bonds may not run the hazard, now, or at any future time, of snap ping by being overstrained, and that wise conces sions to the forts of Public Opinion wi lal ways, at crises like the present, gnat le our herecl . a , y legisla tors, by those very concessions, to ensure the continu ance of that "accordant =lsis of a well-mixed state," audible nowlicre so distinctly in any part of the globe as here, under the actual system of uur Cons'itu tional Government. BISHOP TROWER belongs to the amphibious order of bishops. Consecrated a bishop of an un-established Church, promoted to a bishopric in a Church which is partly connected with, partly distinct from, the State, he is now exercising episcopal functions in a Church which is intimately and entirely united to the State. His experience is therefore manifold, and his opinion on the great question of the day—free or established churches—is entitled to every considera tion. That opinion is that the separation between the Church and the State is greatly to be deprecated. Un fortunately Bishop TROWER has forgotten the golden legal m axim , "Never state the reasons of your j udgment, for while your judgment may very probably be right, your reasons are almost certain to be wrong." With judicial impartiality, the ex-Bishop of GLASGOW ex-Bishop of GIBRALTAR and present Bishop Commis sary of EXE TER sums u p in the charge which he is now deliv er i ng th e arguments for and against a State Church. His two great argu ments for are—let. That a clergy dependent upon the voluntary contributions of their people will be tempted to shape its teaching so as to avoid the hazard of offending them ; and 2nd. That the State is bound to recognise the Deity in its legislation. For these reasons Bishop T °WEIL would rather seethe Presbyterian Church established in Scotland than no established church at all. His arguments against a State church are, that the confirmation of bishops is " a solemn mockery," and the election of bishops is " a ground of deep humilitation ;" that the Court of Final Appeal is a most unfit tribunal to try ecclesiastical causes; that Convocation is most unsatis factory. These are evils that might, Bishop TROWER thinks, be remedied by legislation. There are others which are, more or less, inseparable from a State Church. The tendency of an Establishment is, first, to check the united action of the clergy, and even their meeting together in recognised assemblies ; is, next, to damp the zeal and the general spirituality of the clergy ; is, further, to reduce the clergy to a state of isolation from each other and from the laity "in a degree which can scarcely be conceived," thereby leading to neglected churches and schools, and to ante-nuptial intercourse between thesexes. Fnally, it is to make both the clergy and the laity satisfied with a low standard of holiness. Let us grant the fullest possible weight to the argu ments in behalf of Establishments—though London High Church clergy, who depend upon the weekly offertory, would repel with indignation the suppo sition that this dependence made them unfaithful, and though it is clearly possible to recognise the Deity in our legislation without an Established Church, for other nations have done this— yet even admitting that the arguments pro were incontrovertible, what shall we say of the arguments contra? Which side will the balance incline when the two are weighed together ? " Solemn mockery," improper courts, inadequate isolation a o l f o t w h e standayr d f r o o i f n t h h o e li laity ness, oi o nay, even of morals—h ow can we mee t a ll these objections ? the Blissh thatp many during confirmationhis saicl in cours3of hid chargeur o y vt l found e younger clergy expressing opinions by no means unfavourable to disestablishment. He may be certain that before his visitation tour is over, he will find many, not only of the younger, but of the older clergy of the same mind. If he regrets the result, it will not the less be due to him. If an Established Church is desirable or the reverse, is a question not to be deter mined off hand,. nor for the present, at all. Statesmen and Churchmen must wait and see the result of disestablishment in Ireland before they apply it to England. In the meanwhile it is unlikely that we shall get many more such damaging apologies as that which Bishop TROWEn has just delivered. It is the story of BALAAN reversed. Ile set out to bless, but he has uninten tionally, and perhaps unconsciously, altogether performed the contrary operation. CORRESPONDBECE FROII PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, SUNDAY, May 30. The Peuple publishes an article which may be re tarded in some measure as a sort of manifesto of the imperial policy to be expected in consequence of the victory of the Reds. The Peuple is a journal inti mately connected with the Government, and the article in luestion is signed by the chief editor, who has just obtained a seat in the Corps Legislatif as an official deputy. There is nothing in the shape of ambiguity to complain of m this article. It is a plain and decisive declaration against constitutional reform. "What is most necessary at this moment is not an increase of liberty, but the adoption A a firm, clear, and decisive policy both at home and abroad. The hand of the Emperor must be felt. Far from listening to those who counsel him totake refuge in a chime ,ical irresponsibility, he himself must govern more than ever. That he will govern in a liberal sense is his Majesty's inspiration and the will of the country. But, above all, it is necessary that his rule be personal, firm, and decisive." The " chimerical irresponsibility " spoken of means, it is scarcely necessary to observe, the responsibility of Ministers, which has been so earnestly pressed upon the Emperor by the moderate Liberals. The Temps exhorts the country to witness how the organs of the Empire deride the recent manifestation of the national spirit. The information of the inthipenclance Berge is similarly adverse to the prospect A concession. We shall probably know more about the intentions of the Government when the Emperor goes to Beauvais. There he will doubtless make a demonstration of some kind. His positfon is undoubtedly one of extreme diffi 3ulty. To make concessions to a party which will be satisfied with nothing short of dethronement appears useless; but to continue personal Governmentin the faceof the re zuited minority will be extremely difficult, if not impos sible. It is true that the Emperor can use his majority, but for a despotic Government something more is needed than a bare majority. Almost all the debating power of the 'Corps L6gislatif will be on the side of the Left. Thiers, Favre, and 011ivier were amongst the greatest speakers of the last Parliament, but in the next these— Thiers and Favre being pretty sure to get in somewhere— will be reinforced by Gambetta, Raspail, and Bancel, all very fine speakers. The speeches of these are ultra-violent ; but they are effective displays of oratory. The French Left will now be probably the strongest debating party in Europe. For a Government to oppose year after year a simple majority of votes to the fiery assaults of these Radicals, backed by a minority which on some questions will reach a hundred, would be an extremely dangerous, not to say impracticable, policy. This dilemma is forcibly sheWn` in a powerful article by M. Pr6vost- Paradol—one of the best efforts of that able journalist. The result of the contest has utterly astonished M. Para -101. The vote of almost every great town in the Empire is an open, undisguised declaration of war. All inefficient, wavering, compromising, or even polite opponents of the Government have been sent to the right-about. The deputies returned by the towns are more violent, and M. Paradol thinks the explanation of this is to be found readily enough. The former deputies of Paris have been dismissed because they have not brought about auy decisive event during their six years of office ; they are relieved from duty like old soldiers who are no longer equal to the contest. This determina tion to have efficient, if violent, men, is even less remark able than the numerical progress of the Opposition. They have gained in seats, but still more in votes. In 1863 about 5,300,000 electors voted for official candidates, and 1,800,000 against them. This year about 1,000,000 electors have voted for official or unopposed candidates, and 3,200,000 against them—that is to say, only a majority of about 800,000 voices is left in France to the Government. Of this 800,000 a vast proportion must consist of those whose daily bread depends upon the Empire, and who must vote for it. The officials and peasants are afraid to vote for an Opposition candidate, they are afraid even to stay away from the poll ; and yet even this form of universal suffrage is beginning to give way to the roused excitement of the country. M. Paradol thinks the state of affairs is very critical. If the Government is not anxious all good citizens ought to be. It is rumoured in some quarters that Prince Napoleon will be asked to take office. This would certainly not mean a continuance of personal government. If the Prince take M. Rouher's place, we may look for liberal reforms, but the danger is that he may advance too rapidly, and at length throw the game into thehands of the enemy. The seizure of the Independance Belge still continues. I have lost count of the number of days on which it has been stopped, but it has not been allowed to cross the frontier for above a week. The most respectable of the Liberal journals are scandalized at this proceeding. It is certain that the Belgian paper could contain nothing for the last few days likely to give offence to the Government, except the denial of the cock-and-bull story got up by the Patrie about the 13;4 ; ;Ian plot. That canard has been made, the exposure has been put forth, and the affair is at an end. Why, then, seize the Indepcndancc still, except in pursuance of a very discreditable policy of revenge? The Liberal papers argue that the offence of speaking the truth has been committed and punished, and that, therefore, the seizure ought to cease until some new crimes transpire. It appears decided that the new Chambers will have a short session towards the end of June. Nothing will be done beyond the verification of the elections and other formal business ; but the Government, it is thought, will be able to form some idea of the general attitude of the new House during these preliminaries. The Patrie gives what it assures us is a " correct card" of the programme to be followed at the opening of the Suez Canal in October ; I should rather say the details of two programmes, for, according to the official paper, the Viceroy is yet hesitating between two projects, in the hope of carrying out the most ambitious. One plan is to gather all the sovereigns of the States bordering on the Mediterranean at the opening solemnity. There would be the Empress of the French, representing the Emperor, the Emperor of Austria, the Kings of Italy and Greece, and the Sultan of Turkey. The scheme of less magnitude is that the Viceroy should preside at the opening ceremony, assisted by representatives of these Powers—the Grand Vizier for the Sultan, Count Beust for Austria, Menabrea for Italy, and so on for the rest. The Patrie says nothing of Spain, which is a Mediterranean Power of at least as much consequence as Greece. But this piece of cold shoulder is probably to be attributed to the rise of Queen Isabella in Imperial favour, and the consequent fall of the Provisional Government. Why only Mediterranean Powers should be interested in the Suez Canal is a question which the Patrie only can answer. France has male the canal, it is true ; but it is to British traffic that the shareholders must look for remune ration. The 16th of October is the precise date on which this great ceremonial is to take place. ADVENTURES OF AN ENGLISH OFFICEI? IN PARIS. The Correctional Tribunal at Paris, on Thursday, dealt with a remarkable case, in which an English officer, Mr. H. T. Larkins, described as a handsome man, 28 years of age, wall', charged with obtaining goods under false pretences. The prisoner belongs to one of the richest and most honourable families of England, and, according to his counsel, M. Lachaud, is a descendant of the Kings of Scotland. Mr. Larkins formerly served in the Bengal army as lieutenant. Not being able to agree with his colonel, he threw up his commission. Mr. Larkins appears to have great expectations from a rich old aunt, on whose generosity he had been leading a fast life—so fast, indeed, that his venerable relative told him that she would stand it no longer, and that he must look out for something to do. Having an uncle in Japan, that country was chosen as the spot for the future of the prodigal nephew. His aunt very good-naturedly filled his pockets with bank notes, and despatched him off, earnestly warning him not to stop at Paris, " that wicked, naughty capital." A visit to one or two of the theatres brought him into con nection with some of the leading " lady stars," two of whom Mdlles. Schneider (of "La Grande Duchesse" celebrity) and Markovich, appear to have hit his fancy. Mr. Larkins's exchequer soon became exhausted, and, in order to procure horses and diamonds for his fair proCgc'es, he was compelled to have recourse to very unpleasant schemes. He already owed considerable sums to horse-sellers and jewellers. To one of the ladies in question be had given a pure-blooded charger, worth £I,COO, and to the other a diamond bracelet to the value of 11,500. His principal debt was with a jeweller, named Kramer, whom lie owed about £2,000. In order to obtain more goods from him he sheaved the jeweller a letter, which he said he had received from hii brother-in-law, promising to scud him the necessary- money. A parure of diamonds which he thus got froiri M. Kramer for £1,200 was pawned the next day at Versailles for £4OO. M. Kramer not getting the money promised, had Mr. Larkins arrested on the charge of swindling. His friends, however, came forward in the meantime, and satisfied the demands of his creditors. The jury, throwing aside the charge of swindling, and looking on the case as that of a foolish prodigal, acquitted the prisoner. Mr. George Ikabody embarked at Liverpool on board the Royal mail steamer Scotia, Captain Judkins, for Now York. Fully five hundred ladies and gentlemen had assembled on the Prince's lauding-stage and pier Lead to witness his departure, and they loudly cheered the vener able philanthropist, who lenued much pleased with the salutation. - • REFORM OF COATOCATIO.Y. A conference of the clergy and laity of Huddersfield interested in the reform of Convocation took place at the parish church a day or two since. The objects proposed by the members are-1. The union or united action of the Convocations of Canterbury and York ; 2. A more adequate representation of the parochial clergy ; 3. The representation of the laity. Lords Lyttelton and Wham cliffe are members of the council of the association. Archdeacon Prest, Rector of Gateshead, the Rev. A. Watkins, Vicar of Dewsbury, and others, spoke at length. SUDDEN ILLNESS OF THE PRINCESS CHRISTIAN. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess Chris tian left on Friday night for Balmoral, but have been com pelled to return to Frogmore, owing to the sudden indis position of the Princess while en route for the North. Upon the arrival of the train from 'Windsor at Euston, it was perceived that the fatigue of Unveiling had produced an effect upon the Princess, who began to exhibit symp toms of faintness, and a retain of the indisposition from hich her Royal Highness has suffered of late, and which before prevented her from going to Scotland with tho Queen. Under these circumstances Sir W. Jenner it is understood, advised the immediate return of her Royal Highness to Frogmore, and the abandonment of the journey to Scotland for the present. Accordingly he royal train left Euston and arrived at Windsor about en o'clock. The Princess was accommodated in the Queen's private waiting-room at the Windsor terminus till a carriage was obtained, in which the Prince and Princess drove to their residence. ARRIVAL OF MR. MOTLEY. On Saturday night the Hon. John Lothrop Motley, the new American Minister to this Court, arrived in Liverpool. The Hon. Mr. Dudley, the American Con sul at Liverpool, had made every arrangement during the day for landing Mr. Motley and suite as privately as pos sible, and his views and suggestions'were met with every consideration by the Cunard Company. The Cuba, which left Queenstown at 2.40 a.m. on Saturday, was expected to reach the Mersey about midnight, or shortlyafter, but, in order that Mr. Motley and his family should reach Liverpool before so late an hour, it was determined to send a fast steam tender out to meet the ship, which was accordingly done. The tender returned to Liverpool about eleven o'clock. Accompanying Mr. Motley, - as the Secretary of Legation, was General Badeau, who was formerly attached to General Grant's staff, and he, like Mr. Motley, is a historian, having written a Life of General Grant up to the time when he accepted the Pre sidency, and also a history of the late war. The new Minister is also accompanied by his wife and three daughters. On reaching the pier head the party were met by the mayor, Mr. Dover, the town clerk, and Major Greig, the head constable. Mr. Dudley introduced Mr. Motley to the mayor, who had his state carriage in readi ness to convey the party to the Adelphi Hotel. Mr. Motley, in thanking the mayor for his kindness and con sideration in placing the carriage at his disposal, said that he was compelled to decline the offer, as he was desirous, if possible, to make his visit to Liverpool as little demon strative as lay in his power. ROMANTIC CASE OF ADOPTION. Some remarkable litigation is expected to result from a case which has just been brought to light in Liverpool. It is said to arise out of the disputed succession to some heritable property in Ireland, left by a gentl,man in that country to a lady and her husband, not long since returned from Australia. Forty years ago a stonemason, named M'lntyre, left Glasgow to settle in Dublin. There ho married a young woman named M'Ghee, of humble b:rth. A year or two afterwards 3.l'lntyre and his wife, accompanied by their daughter, went out to Australia. At that time the only means of access to the colony was by transport ships, conveying convicts from this country, and these vessels, in addition to the convicts, occasionally carried a few passengers. In one of these ships M'lntyre and his wife and daughter embarked. In the course of the voyage the surgeon's wife, who had no family, took a great liking to iiPlntyre's little girl. The ship w as wrecked, M'lntyre, his wife, and the surgeon's lady being amongst those who perished. The surgeon escaped, and he rescued the child. After an interval of six months the surgeon and his little charge arrived in Australia, where he ultimately realised a large fortune. lie brought the child up as his own, and rem_ iued there long enough to see her the wife of a wealthy colonist. Having done this the sur geon returned to Ireland, his native country, and purchased a large estate in the county of Wicklow. Ho then sent for his adopted child and her husband, who obeyed the sum mons; and not long after their arrival he died, bequeathing to them the whole of his properly. Some of the Scotch relatives of the surgeon now claim the properly. Within the last two or there weeks three persons have arrived in Liverpool from Australia, echo have been brought over specially as witnesses in the case if they should b.; required. The will of the (lector is disputed, as in the document the lady is treated as his child. , The City of London meeting in oppuition to the Irish Church Bill is fixed for Monday, the 7th of June, at half-past ono o'clock, and is to be held in the gloat Cannon-street. The chair will be taken by Mr. John Chubb (a Wesleyan) of St. Paul's-churchyard. The inquest on the body of Eliza Bowen, the woman who, as alleged, was outraged and murdered by a man named Hall, at Wednesbury, on the night of the 27th or the morn ing of the 28th of February, has concluded. The jury did not agree to a verdict. Eight were for a verdict of wilful murder against Hall. Four refused to return such a verdict. A lad not fifteen years of age, who had been in the service of Messrs. Oates and Blakeley, woollen manufac turers, Dewsbury, on Friday forged a cheque upon his em ployers, got it cashed at the branch of the Huddersfield bank, and decamped. Up to a late hour on Friday he had not been captured. A tolerably smart mot is attributed to our present Foreign Minister. Mr. Sumner, after living into advanced age a bachelor, married, three years since, a young widow of great personal attractions. Recently the man and wife have, on the ground of incompatibility of temper, separated. Lord Clarendon being asked what impression Mr. Sumner's late speech had made upon him, answered, " I have read it, sir, with much interest, and have formed from it a very high opinion of—Mrs. Sumner." One of the largest collieries in the country--the Monkwearmouth Colliery—is stopped ow:ng to a strike. It is the deepest colliery in the north, and nearly 1,000 men and boys aro employed. In April the men agreed to a re duction, which they now seek to have returned, on the ground that the wages are insufficient to maintain them. The masters, however, state that they are not receiving a sixpence return for their capital, and that they cannot afford, in the present condition of trade, to pay more than they agreed to do in April. THE RE PRESENTATION OF STAFFORD. —MT. Charles LarEport, one of the first candidates in the field, in a letter to Mr. IL W. Gibson, chairman of the meeting at which the ballot for three candidates was agreed upon, has stated that "in order to smooth the difficulty which appears to have arisen respecting the operation of the preliminary ballot fur the selection of two Liberal candi dates, and fearing that the Liberal cause may suffer from the uncertainty and delay thence arising, I have decided to take the initiative in retiring from the contest." Mr. Jenkins, however, in a placard he has put out, says, " I intend at any risk to submit my claims to the decision of the constituency, either at a test ballot or at the poll, or both, as circumstances may require." Mr. Evans's friends object to include Mr. Jenkins's name in the ballot, and up to Saturday night the matter was unsettled. The nomination is expected to take place on Monday next June 7. THE KIND - CHAUDRON SHAFT - SINKING A n principle involved in thi s s y s t em is that A of l; sinking shaft on the Chines e pl an o f Pr'r —The a large sinking artesian wells ; that is to say, a tool suspended at the end of a rope is raised up, turned a little round, and allowed to drop. In another form the same principl* is carried out in the practice of " churn jumping" holes fcr blasting, adopted in certain quarries. The applica tion of this principle to holes; ft. or Sf t. diameter, however, required a total change in the details of the apparatus and the method of operation. The Eoyinecr, by means of diagrams, gives the details of this method. It com prises a system of cast-iron tubbing, consisting of superimposed rings, and a peculiar stuffing-box of moss to establish a water-tight joint between the base of the tubbing and the rock. Nearly all the operations are per. formed from the surface. A small central boring is first made with a small tool having a number of chisels all along its under surface. After this the boring is enlarged by means of larger and heavier tools having a number of chisels at each end, and a projection in the middle, which passes into the central boring previously formed by the smaller tool, and which serves as a guide. The baring with the tools of the smaller diameter is. always kept so much in advance of the larger boring, that the d6bris from the latter shall always fall into the former, and for this purpose the teeth of the enlarging tools are arranged on an incline so as to produce a boring, con nected to the smaller boring by an inverted cone. In the smaller boring may be suspended a metal receptacle, into which the debris falls, and which is withdrawn when full, or a metal cylinder, with valves at bottom, opening inwards, receives the di ris and raises it, by working, down and up, PARLIAMENTARY BETSIATSS. To-night will most likely witness the closing scene of ;he Irish Church drama in the House of Commons. The gill which was introduced by Mr. Gladstone on March 1 laving passed the critical second reading, and come out safe from the dangerous shoals of committee, stands ;a-night for its final touch—the third reading. This stage, iowever, will not be got over without some more talk about spoliation " and " robbery." Sir Frederick Heygate sas given notice that he intends to move " That, as the fill for the disestablishment and disendowment of the Irish Church will, if passed into law, cause a fundamental illange in the constitution of Ireland, it ought, in justice ;o all parties concerned, to be accompanied by a declara tion of the principle, at least, of any other so-called remedial measures in contemplation by the Government." The effect of this resolution is easily foreseen. The futile attempts lately made by several peers to draw from the Government their views on the land question are now to 3e tried in the House of Commons, but it is scarcely ikely that the reticence observed by Lord Granville will be abused by Mr. Gladstone. After Sir Frederick's motion has ended in smoke, Mr. Holt will move a direct negative to the bill, by proposing that it be read a second time this day three months. As a heavy " whip " has been going on during the last few days on both sides of the House, a large division is expected, which will probably be taken to-night. Eighteen addi tional "orders" are entered on the paper for considera tion, among which stands the Habitual Criminals Bill, for second reading, and. the Universities Tests Bill for com mittee. Mr. Edward Egerton will want to know what is the present position of the negotiations relative to the Commercial Treaty with Austria ; Mr. Edward Verner attends to ask the First Lord of the Treasury how the Government intend, in the event of the passing of the [risk Church Bill, to meet the difficulty that will arise under the provisions of the Poor Relief, the Prisons, and other Acts, which direct the appointment of chaplains of the Established Church ; and Mr. Glyn will move for new writ for Stafford. To-morrow evening an exciting debate will probably be raised by Mr. Seeley, who intends to call attention to the report of the select committee on the American mail con tracts, and to move several resolutions on the subject. The Libel B ill is to be re-committed ; the adjourned debate on the second reading of the Party Processions (Ireland) Bill is to be continued ; and the Beerhouses Bill, as amended, will be considered. Wednesday is likely to keep up its character as an important day. In the first place, Mr. Locke King will move the second reading of his Real Estate Intestacy Bill, which Mr. Beresford-Hope will do his best to shelve. Nest in order comes the Capital Punishment Abolition Bill,the opposition to this measurebeingled by Mr. Lewis, the member for Devonport. The Burials Regulation Bill is also down for second reading, but it will not be allowed to pass this stage without an effort on the part of Mr. Raikes to throw the bill over Otqgether. The Bankruptcy Bill comes„osa for consideration on Thursday evening. On the motion to go into committee, Mr. Hibbert will move that the jurisdiction conferred upon the judges of the county courts in Admiralty and Bank ruptcy should be accompanied by an increase of the salary of those judges upon wham such jurisdiction is conferred. The Imprisonment for Debt Bill is also down for the same stage, and these two rnefsures of the Attorney-General are likely to occupy the committee several hours. Following up the bills relating to debtor and creditor, it may be mentioned that the Insolvent Debtors and Bankruptcy Repeal Bill is entered for second reading. Mr. Russell Gurney intends to ask the Secretary of State fi r the Home Department whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce a bill to render compulsory the payment of clerks to magistrates by salary. Mr. Gregory's motion—" That it is expedient that museums and galleries supported by the State in England and Ireland should be opened to the public after the hour )f Divine Service"—is to be discussed on Friday. Mr. William Allen will move an amendment to the effect that such places ought to be opened on week-day evenings. Sir John Hay will want to know something about the Flying Squadron ; and Mr. Eastwick has given notice that he will call attention to the state of affairs in Asia. TRADE AND FINA.NCE. The debate ou the Customs and Inland Revenue Duties Bill presents many feat u res o f i n ter e st. It is very evi dent that a great advantage will accrue from the pro posed plan of collecting the taxes, by turning the assessed taxes into license duties, on account of the simplifi cation in the national accounts. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, however, has certainly under estimated the effect of his measure upon the money market, and we fear that serious inconvenience may result at times front the change. We are not, however, anxious to see any attempt to " cocker up" the Battle of England, although, as that institution was the creation of a national necessity, and has even adminis tered to national wants, it holds very peculiar relations with the Government. At the same time, the fact of its solding the national balances, and having the monopoly )f the metropolitan note issue, goes far to extinguish the lebt of gratitude that the nation owes it. We believe, therefore, that Mr. Lowe's independence of the Bank of England is not altogether wrong. It is desirable, however, that the reserve of the Bank should be liable to as little fluctuation as possible, and such changes should be confined to the requirements of trade. We want a commercial barometer that shall tell us, week by week, the changes in the commercial atmosphere, and afford us some means of prognosticating the immediate future. At present we have some such means of determining the ,ourse of the money market in the admirable accounts published by the Bank, and it is because Mr. Lowe's bill will interfere with their efficiency that we principally quarrel with his measure. According to the figures laid upon the table of the House of Commons by himself, the greatest diminu tion of the public balance will take place at the close the year, being the time of the panic par excellence. This is precisely the period when the import trade has attained its greatest dimensions. Our imports mainly consist of vegetable products, which are of course dependent upon season, and, in the natural order of things, they arrive here towards the close of the year. The Board of Trade returns will at any time establish this fact, which happens invariably to be the case. By the same argument, the demands of commerce upon the money market are more restricted during the opening months of the year, and yet, by a singular fatality, this happens at a time when the bank would probably have a larger sum of money at its disposal. The question there !ore arises whether such a state of affairs would not lead to an inflation of trade during the earlier portion of the year, to the great detriment of importers towards the :dose. Such would evidently be the tendency of affairs. There is, however, one saving clause to be considered. However extensive the changes might be that would be brought about by the new arrange ments, they would at least be constant and would be readily calculated. We should be as fully Prepared for a gradual diminution of the Government balance throughout the year as we should be for a sudden augmentation at the period of the collection of the revenue. Mr. Lowe, however, is not altogether unprepared with a scheme that may in some measure obviate the apprehended difficulties so far as the money market is concerned. For instance, he proposes to borrow on Ways and Means from the National Debt Commissioners, and he will probably embody this idea in the next money bill. Again, there is a large sum paid for terminable annuities, which is spread over the whole year. By making this payable at the two heaviest quarters, the equilibrium may be to some extent restored. Mr. Lowe has not pledged himself to either of these measures, but the latter would bring about a further simplification of the national accounts, and we should, therefore, be glad to see it adopted. As we recently pointed out would be the case, the wheat trade is now wholly guided by the course of the weather, and prices are immediately influenced by the prospects and condition of the plant. The weather, therefore, having been very unfavourable for the development of the wheat plant, owing to the great abundance of wet and the cold frosty nights experienced, trade has ruled firm, and prices have advanced fully is. per quarter. Although there is no room for serious fear as to the Ultimate safety of the crops, it is evident that we cannot look for so early or so large a yield as last year's. We incline to the belief that prices have now seen their lowest point, and farmers will do well to-. resist further concessions until same very decided improvement takes place in the condition of the plant. The Duke of Norfolk says he is " not able" to grant the request conveyed in a petition from the Methodists of a Surrey village, who recently asked for a piece of waste laud upon which to erect a chapel. Pope Pius the Ninth, feeling profoundly the wide-spread evils and crushing burdens imposed upon the nations of Christendom by their gigantic armaments, intends, it is aunot need, to lay before the approaching (Ecumenical Council at Homo a proposal for the general adoption of International Arbitration in lieu of war, and for the establishment, by a High Court of Nations, of a d;- finite cede of International Law, instead of the vague and unconnected maxims, from Vattel and other private sources, which at present constitute the only approximation to the urgently needed influence of a regulating system of rules and precedents to be universally recognised as An authority throll2ll4llt.ckir 0911dOlk - ;;;:- I' i .- - • gb , ; - .-,.. , 4' 7 17 ,, , ,, z.t. , fikl,;‘l4 l -004:_v A.
