The discussion which will be commenced this evening iu the House of Lords upon the motion for the Second Reading of the Irish Church Bill is looked forward to with intense eagerness by the whole com munity, but with an eagerness that admits of very various interpretation. The result eventually to be arrived at in regard to the Bill itself everybody knows perfectly well beforehand. It is si m pl y a question of time as to when the Bill shall be transformed into an Enactment. The un certainty is as to how far in the passing of it the constitution of the House of Lords itself shall have been affected. Both the Ministerial party on the Go verntuent side .of the home, and the extreme Conser vative party on the side, there, of the Opposition, seem thoroughly resolved in regard to their de- - termination. Lord GnANVILLE, as the Leader in the Upper House of her MAJESTY'S Government, and confronting him Lord DERBY or Lord CAIRNS (Wilk:6 is it?) or - both as leader or loaders of her MAJESTY'S Opposition are decided as to the necessity for settling, one way or the other, the alto-- na tive now brought quite dsinctly before the hereditary branch of the Legi,lature— the really momentous alternative, so far as the House of Lords itself is concerned, as to whether the Bill, as a whole, is to be accepted by the Peers, or thrown out bodily, it might even yet be (could the majority against it be sufficiently largi) ignominiouYy. The tiii;:tcke of Lord DE: zY appears to be this, that he counts now quite as confideLtly,:and.quite as alone- THE SUN, LONDON, Al() WAY EVENING, JUNE 14, 1869. ously, as Mr. DISRAELI counted immediately before the last General Election upon that ignis fatuus, that fata morgana, that mirage, that chateau en Espagne of Tory Optimists, what is called a Conservative Reaction. The anticipation proved, in November and December, entirely visionary. It would prove quite as visionary in July and August. The majority of Sixty in favour of the Suspensory Bill rapidly ex panded, as we all know, into a majority, of a Hundred and Twenty in favour of the Actual Measure for the disestablishment and disendownment of the Irish Church ! And this as the direct and deliberate and most emphatic response of the enlarged constituencies —to whom? To the very Minister who had sum moned them into existence as enlarged constituen cies! And in answer to what? Why, in answer to his earnest and even impassioned app al to t!:e Con servative Reaction he was either seriously counting upon, or, at the least, affecting to believe in ! And in reference to what measure ? In reference to this very measure relating to the Irish Church—its Di (establishment and its Dis±ndowmCnt ! Never did the two great political parties come before the country with a di.tin.lter cry on the part of each. One was for the preservation of the union of Church and State in Ireland. The other was for the complete and immediate severance of the bond connecting those two great. insti:u- It was a question of Yes or No. The constituencies thoroughly understood that ques tion ; awl how they answered it is now seen by the very constitution of the present House of Com mons. The Liberal Party were returned in such overwhelming numbors that Mr. DISRAELI, who has never once during the whole of his remark- Leta •• S.•••<•••••• •• ••• • - • • • • • • machinery out of tar, is not to be thought of. If the Lords,reject th bill for disestablislaing the Irish Church, the natm will speedily come to the conclusion that ii is necessary to disk stablish the House of Lords. lerefore it is that we 1, )ok forward to the events of tis week with so much a tuiety, We say anxietyfor it must not be su p posed that in predicting wha•will happen we intend to threaten. We state simply what every well-inf( 4lned, dis passionate stateslan knows well, whi it men like Lord SALisnunythe Duke of Ricllsiorixr, and Lord DEVON, whose Caservatism is unquestioned, know well—that powerhas passed out of their hands into that of the Comnons, and that it is use! ess for them to oppose the ,ational will as repret .ented by the national assemby. They may regret this. Lord SALISBURY and I.ord CARNARVON, wikio opposed the Conservative Reorm Bill, may even reproach their' former colleague with having brought about this change ; but the: recognise the fact th It it has taken place, and they xe too wise to resist the inevitable, or to aggravate i; by attampting to iesist it. They and we believe that the abolition of the Upper House would hex matter of deep reg ret. They and we see that the Irish Church is only one of the sweep ing measures wlich will infallibly be brought forward before long, and that moderate men of both parties and men who belong to neither party, will . be asking the aid of the Upper House in order to resist changes that are either hurtful in themselves,orcrudein their conception. They and we shrink from a course which would lead to the humiliation of one of the Estates of the Realm. They and we see that all chance of resisting hasty legislation hereafter will be destroyed if the Lords attempt to resist the matured decision of the nation on the present occasion. It is these considerations which make the week upon which we have just entered, so eventful. Glad; indeed, shall we be if prudends nrevails if, profiting by the crisis „of this time twee years, , _.-..rwcipT GLADSTONE Administration was defeated and a moderate Reform Bill was rejected, only to prepare the way for a sweeping Reform Bill and a GLADSTONE-BRIGHT Administration, the Peers determine to accept a moderate change, lest, by re jecting it, a worse thing befall them. ions. signed the Premiership before the meeting of the new Parliament, and resigned it frankly and chivalrously into the hands of his arch antagonist ! Mr. DISRAELI might, ander the circumstances, had he so pleased, have advised her MAJESTY to send for Earl RUSSELL, or to send for Earl GRAN- . VILLE, instead of for the ex-Chancellor of the Ex chequer, the now Prime Minister, the then very recently rejected candidate for the representation of ' South West Lancashire. Instead of doing which, Mr. D ISRAELI, refraining from any unnecessary delay of his own resignation and the resignation of his colleagues at once, unhesitatingly, indicated to her MAJESTY as his obvious successor in the conduct of her MAJESTY'S counsels as the one only statesman to whom, un-• der the circumstances, ought to be confided the responsibility of constructing her MAJESTY'S Government—the junior member for Greenwich, the , man whose name as associated with the projected abolition of the Irish Church as a Sta.e institution, had given to the Liberal Party its overwhelming majority in the new Parliament. Mr. GLAD STONE, as the recognis!d Leader of the Liberal Party, found himself carried to the height of power and backed by a larger majority than has been at the command of any Premier since the House of Co:ninoni was first reforined—t) the express end that he should in the first place deal with this very eyes- Lion of the Irish Church, a question which had just then been distinctly put to the country, and to which the country had, then and there, quite unuiistake 'My responded. All this—Es the immediate consequence of Mr. Disnaufs reliance upon the so-called Con servative Reaction, and as the response to his impassioned appeal to what proved quite as imaginary, the ardent enthusiasm of the Electors of the United Kingdom for the maintenance in Ireland of Protestant Ascendancy ! Ireland being known all the world over as intensely, iuerradicably, incontrovertibly a Catholic country. the dogged maintenance, there, over Catholic Ire land of that cruelly, unnaturally, arid most tyranicany pieced Protestant Ascendaecy•—which Mr. GLADSTON2, and the House of Co ramous, and the people of the United Kieglom zire firmly resolve I slial no longer be maintained--is wh it Lira DERBY, and his dwindling followers ie the Ilotne of Lords is now confidently bent upon, 1y the help of that Will o' the Wisp the soi-disant Conservative Reaction—iu spite of Mr. GLADSTONE and of the Liberal Party, an 1 of the House of Com mons, and of the People of the Ui.ited Kingdom. A formidable Cave, precisely at the worst moment for Lord DERBY, iS opened in the House of Lords on the side of the Opposition. A Cave so formidable that, since it first came to be recognized, there have been audible, at intervals, more or less con fid.nt rumours, that the new and the old leader of the Conservative Party, meaning of course Lord DERBY and Lord CAIRNS, had, in the presNic.i of it, and at the approach of the eleventh hour, fairly caved in. The anticipation of any such lower ing of the battle pennon by the RUPERT of Debate before the ihock of arms had actually commenced, has, however, as any one might readily enough have conjectured would prove to be the case, turned out to be altogether illusory. The Forlorn Hope of the Irish Church Defenlers, will be led into the breach this evening, with what result the Nation, rather than the House of Lords, will, sooner or later, have to deci'le. LATEST INTELL MENGE (REU'"ER'S TELEGRAMS.) FRANCE. PARIS, June 14. The Official Journal of this morning publishes an account of the disturbances which have taken place at Paris, Nantes, Bordeaux et Saint Etienne. It says :—" The authorities had very exact infor mation that a certain party, using several organs of the Press as weapons, had determined to raise an an emeute upon the 6th and 7th inst. The precau tionary measures which were taken prevented the agitation from assuming a more serious aspect. After reciting the particulars of the disturbances,the Official Journal proceeds to say :—" Justice is now in pos session of evidence . of all the facts which provoked and accompanied those deplorable outbreaks. It belongs to justice to trace their authors and origina tors, and also to discover the tactics whereby these revolutionary agitations were set on foot, which are not only hurtful to the pub'ic welfare, and specially to commerce in such large cities, but are also at tempts against the law of the country. It belongs to justice to show by evidence collected and by the proofs obtained what complicity might exist be- tween the instigators of the various movements referred to. The Official Journal bears witness to the admir able patience, firthiless, moderation, and courage displayed by the authorities and their civic and miiitary organs. Nowhere, it adds, has the Govern ment been compelled to resort to the use of arms, a proceeiing which, the moment it had been neces sary, would.have been no less decisive than terrible: The Government sees with satisfaction that it has succeeded without blOodshed in quelling the distur bances everywhere they have occurred, and that it has fulfilled its mission of protection and humanity. The same journal announced that M. Sipicre I as given a sum of 10,000 fr. to be diAributei among those public agents who by their firm yet moderate conduct bad made good their claiin upon the graC tude of the citizens of Paris. No fresh disturbances occurred. Perfect tran p.m. the Emperor visited the quillity prevails. p 3 t. 3o The interview lasted more than Viceroy . oy e r o d f a y E g a y t an hour. WE have entered upon what may prove to us the most eventful week of the century. There have been grave crises before now which threatened serious results ; a battle of Austerlitz which laid Europe at the feet of NAPOLEON; a Reform Bill rejected by the house of Lords ; a 'free trade controversy ; a Crimean collapse ; an Indian mutiny ; but the mischief which these events brought with them was corrected. NAPOLEON was sent to St. Helena, the Lords accepted the Reform Bill which they had thrown out,free trade was yielded, Sebastapol taken, India reconquered. The foreign influence of England, the social prosperity of England, the colonial empire of England, the political constitution of England, remain unimpaired, nay, increased and improved. But who can believe that the last of these will not suffer if the Conservative Peers carry out their threatened purpose and veto the Irish Church Bill ? The acceptance or rejection of the measure is a com paratively small matter in itself, but it involves con sequences of the greatest magnitude. No one supposes that the success of that measure will by itself restore tranquillity to Ireland ; few persons suppose that it will seriously affect the stability of the Church itself. But it is a very serious thing that a measure passed by an overwhelming majority of the House of Com mons, elected for that very purpose, should be rejected by a body which in no way represents the nation, and which exists only upon sufferance,. It is a very serious thing that this measure, after having been brought for judgment be fore the two million electors whom this kingdom contains, ttolafeftt their having been sanctioned by a large m o ir re rep th re a s n en a tat m h oy es, sh o o f ul t d he be h r ou ul s l e of ified Lords by something under 200 gentlemen who repre sent only themselves. And the s er i ousnes s of it lies in the fact that the controversy cannot end here. t I e e t Iri b s e h granted i r ch that o t o t a m f t t e r r y c i a h r e es e l l i e t e t t i b s o f t last November that is a large assumption), still the country does care a great deal about having its clearly and decisively-expressed will set aside by a couple of hundred persons. No one can suppose that if the English Constitution were to be drawn up now for the first time, the existence of such a body as the House of Lords would be tolerated or dreamt of. That House exists because it has existed for so many centuries, because it is a part of our constitutional traditions, and we in England are slow to make organic changes, pre- : ferring rather to reform than to destroy. But that this body should have the power of steppinz •i legislation, of Ihrowiug the whole legislative DEMONSTRATIONS AGAINST THE IRISH iington for the occasion, was crowded in every part, the Cil URCH BILL I red coats of the Life Guards, a large number of whom were present, forming an effective contrast to the more sombre apparel of the majority of the audience. Lord George Hamilton, M.P., occupied the chair, sup ported by Lord F. Kerr, Lord Augustus Hervey, M.P., and Mr. W. H. Smith, M.P. The usual resolutions were passed with acclamation. The Conservative papers are full just now of demonstra tions against the Irish Church Bill. Manchester, Liverpool, York, Kidderminster, Bolton, Cambridge, Chester, &c., &c., obeyed the beck of the Conservative organs, and turned out in full force on the two last days of the past week to express their abhorrence of "the Glad stone Robbery Bill." BOLTON. There was a demonstration of Conservatives at Bolton on Saturday. The various Orange lodges and Constitu tional associations in the neighbourhood assembled on a large space of ground adjoining the Church Institute. A petition urging the House of Lords to reject Kr. Gladstone's Irish Church Bill on the second reading was adopted. MANCHESTER. The most important of these meetings was undoubtedly held in Manchester. How many attended it would be difficult to say with so many different estimates. The Liberal papers say that 20,000 persons joined in the pro cessions. The Daily IVcws declares that not more than 20,000 were interested in the meetings. This statement the Times also endorses. The Daily Telegraph puts down that not more than 30,000 were in the Pomona Gardens (where the meeting was held) at one time. The Standard says 200,000 helped to swell the procession, and also gives the information to its readers that the 100,000 persons ex pected in the Gardens was far exceeded. It was announced by the speakers at one of the meetings, in the midst of the addresses, that there were 180,000 present, and " the cry is still ' they come.'" This much is admitted on all hands, the number of tickets distributed beforehand was enor mous enough to be in keeping with the highest computa tion, for they were avowedly " sown broadcast" through out the country, with the determination to have a greater assemblage of people than ever was known. It was asserted that 70,000 special railway tickets for the day had been issued, and there have been believers that the whole of the 70,000 Conservative passengers thus booked for Manchester, on their arrival, "fell in" with a procession of at least an equal number of citizens, march ing four abreast. The weather was very favourable, and everything passed off as well as the most enthusiastic Conservative could desire. The rendezvous was in Albert-square, a large area, the east side of which will be occupied by the new Town Hall, and in the centre of which stands the Albert Memorial. Early in the afternoon curious sightseers thronged the Square, and waited much longer than had been expected for the arrival of the first nsirt. of +l-in nrocession. ^g 4h^ I—.l ward associations, which took up its place a few minutes before three o'clock. Other Conservative, Constitutional, and Protestant defence associations followed in quick succession, representing the various wards in the city, and many towns and villages in the district which this demonstration was to represent. The printed list of asso ciations represented, issued by the committee, enumerated 107 places (including the several townships in the city of Manchester and borough of Salford) " together with ninety-seven other Protestant organisations, including the Orange lodges." They came with bands of music, banners, many of them new and very elegant, and insignia of various devices. The flags were mostly of orange and blue, and the majority of the processionists wore favours of the same colours. While they were assembling in the Square, the demonstrators amused themselves with singing national airs, and a new hymn composed by a clergyman of Tintwistle to the tune of " Auld Lang Syne." Among the tunes played by the bands was the "Boyne Water." The procession moved off at a quarter before four o'clock, and the last portion of it—the Orange lodges— had entered the gates of the Gardens a few minutes after seven o'clock They marched in files of four. A large number of people assembled at the Gardens without taking part in the procession. Eight platforms, some of them consisting of waggons, had been provided in the Gardens and the adjoining fields, and the speaking began at the principal one as soon as the head of the procession arrived. As the various sections of the procession arrrived, the I several platforms were occupied, and the speaking began. The chairmen were Messrs. R. 11. Hutchinson, of Black- • burn ; W. W. Schofield, of Rochdale ; Booth Mason, of Abergele ; P. Boyle, M.D., of Manchester; J. W. Mac- I lure, of Manchester ; J. Smith, mayor of Blackburn ; W. W. B. Hulton, of Hulton Park ; and S. C. Nicholson, of Manchester. Each chairman announced, at the request of the demonstration committee, that they had furnished no money to the outlying towns, but that each organisation had borne its own expense. Among the speakers were the Earl of Carrick, Lord Claud John Hamilton, Lord James W. Butler, of Dublin, Captain Fleetwood Hesketh, of Southport, the Hon. M. Portman, Sir J. E. E. Wilmot, Bart., Major-General Beatte, R.E., of Lon don, Mr. W. T. Charley, M.P., and several clergymen, including Drs. Foley, Henderson (Belfast), and Massing. ham. The following are the resolutions which were passed at each of the eight meetings :—" That we view the obliga tion imposed by the Coronation Oath upon every Sovereign of these realms since 1688, not as a mere compact between the sovereign and people, revocable at pleasure, but as a most solemn pledge to the Almighty, from which the Legislature has no power to release ; and any attempt to force on the Sovereign an act inconsistent with such pledge, on the plea that the nation is willing to•forego the obligatiOn, We deem to be an insult to the Sovereign and an assumption of the power of dispensation, which, as Protestants, we must ever repudiate. That the bill for the disestablishment and disendowment of the Irish branch of the United Church of England and Ireland will, if it become law, destroy the Protestant constitution of this Protestant kingdom, lead to Papal supremacy in Ireland, and shake the rights of property. And that we therefore call upon the House of Lords to reject the bill." "That we protest against the confiscation of the property of the Church in Ireland, and against the proposal to hand over a large portion of such property to the Roman Catholics. That we feel grateful to our brother Protes tants in Ireland for their firm and temperate stand against the combined forces of Popery, Infidelity, Radi calism, and Revolution. That we heartily join with them in declaring our determination to uphold the Legislative Union between Great Britain and Ireland so long as the spirit of the international compact is respected and held inviolate by the British Parliament ; but that, should the fifth article of the Treaty of Union, which is expressed to be essential, fundamental, and perpetual, be repealed, we I shall be forced to regard the Union as virtually dissolved. And that we strongly condemn the conduct of the Government in releasing the Fenian prisoners, and thereby giving encouragement to Fenianism, the existence of which is made the pretext for despoiling the Church in Ireland." The third resolution authorised the chairman to sign a petition embodying the foregoing resolutions, which was to be sent to the Earl of Derby for presenta tion to the House of Lords on Monday. At the principal platform, at which Mr. B. H. Hut chinson, of Blackburn, took the chair, the following rider to the second resolution was also adopted, on the motion of Sir J. Eardley Wilmot, Bart., who said he had been asked to propose it :—" That we particularly requ est the lords spiritual of the kingdom, and especially the Archbishop of York and the Bishops of the United Kingdom, to take part with the House of Lords in reject ing the bill." In other respects the proceedings at all the platforms were identical. LIVERPOOL. - - A " great Conservative demonstration against the Gladstone Robbery Bill" was held on Saturday afternoon in a field near the Hall-lane, Liverpool, on the eastern outskirts of the town. It was announced that the Birkenhead Orangemen would assemble at the pier head, and thence march in procession. The procession from the pier head was stopped by the police, and the Orange. men had to walk to the field in groups. Before 4 o'clock crowds were collected on: the field, and by the time for commencing the proceedings (5 o'clock) it was estimated that 10,000 persons were present, this number being afterwards considerably increased, and about six o'clock, when the meeting was at its height, the police authorities estimated the numbers at 20,000. The Standard estimates the total numbers at 30,000. A large platform was erected for the chairman, speakers, and leading members of the committee, some of whom flaunted Orange favours. Several large lorries were placed in the field to act as platforms if required, and these were all called into use, there being four sets of orators at one time. There was considerable delay before the proceedings commenced, during which the crowd occupied themselves by sending forth heavy groans against " Gladstone" and " Bright," and one Scotchman distin- guished himself by shouting out curses against the Duke of Argyll. Mr. Edward Whitley, an ex-mayor, took the chair on the principal platform. Ile is a very popular man amongst the " Conservative working men " of Liverpool, and he has displayed great tact in working up the Orange element to serve the interests of his party. The speakers included Mr. Burland, the chairman of the Liverpool Working Men's Conservative Association ; Mr. Charles Groves, and several working men. One of the speakers, a Mr. Williams, a member of the Working Men's Association, read a poem composed for the occa si-Jn, after " Scots, wha hae." Throughout good humour prevailed. The resolutions passed declared that the meeting regarded with indignation and alarm the proposed measure for the disestablishment and disendowment of the Irish Church, as subversive of our time-honoured constitution in Church and State, injurious to the cause of Protestant truth in the United Kingdom, and destructive to the security of the rights of property, and appealed to the House of Lords to reject the Irish Church Bill, inasmuch as the opinion of the country has not been expressed upon it through the con stituencies, and that a measure involving so revolutionary a change in the constitution of the State should not be allowed to become law without more mature consideration. A petition to Parliament based on the resolutions was also agreed to. KNIGHTSBRIDGE. A meeting in opposition to the Irish Church Bill was also held on Saturday in the Riding School, Knightsbridge Barraclgh The spacious area l lent by the Duke of Wel. CII ESTER. A large and most enthusiastic open-air ineetingwas held at Chester on Saturday, to assert the independence of the House of Peers, and to condemn the spoliation bill of Mr. Gladstone. Thelarge fiehlin which the gathering took place, estimated to contain 5,000 people, was (according to the Standard) very nearly filled with a most respectable and orderly assemblage. Mr. Alderman Williams presided. Resolutions condemning Mr. Gladstone's bill, and urging the presentation to the House of Lords of a petition. against it, were carried, with very few dissentients, amid loud applause. The principal speakers were Mr. J. W. Leche, of Carden Park, Mr. Clough, Mr. Scdgwick (hon. secretary of the National Union), and Mr. George Boydell. A vote of thanks to the chairman was moved by Mr. W. C. Raikes, M.P., seconded by Mr. Rogers, and carried by acclamation, after which the great assemblage quietly dispersed. THE PURCHASE OF TILE TELEGRAPHS. The Electric and International Telegraph Company have issued a circular to their shareholders, stating the terms on which an agreement has been made with the Post Office for the sale of their property. The sum to be paid is £2,938,000. For this Payment the Government will obtain the whole of the company's plant, which is worth £1,100,000, and the business, which is now producing an annual revenue of £lBO,OOO, and is rapidly increasing. The amount claimed by the company was £:3,34U,u0u, but the Post Office insisted upon, and obtained, a reduction of £lOO,OOO for depreciation of plant, renewal of cables, &c. It will be seen that the net annual revenue is sufficient to pay upwards of six per cent. on the purchase money. It would, perhaps, be unfair to assume that in all cases the purchase of the rights of the various telegraph com panies will be equally advantageous to the Government. In the case of the United Kingdom companies, for instance, the Government have very properly had to take into account the prospective in terests of that undertaking, to the establish ment of which the public is mainly indebted for the reduction which has been made in the charges for telegraphy. But after making full allowance for all dis turbing causes, the Government will obtain a business which, as it stands, will pay upwards of five per cent. on the purchase money. The future results of the undertaking will be largely influenced by two causes, the reduced rates for the transmission of telegrams, and the reduction of working expenses which can be effected by the amalgamation of the telegraph offices and their connection with the Post Office. Judging from experience, it is not probable that the reduction of rates will lessen the revenue ; and the increased cost of the working staff, which will in some cases be necessary, will be more than covered by the reductions on general expenses which will be effected by the amalga mation of the offices. 'We may, therefore, assume that the public will gain the substantial advantages of lower charges and increased facilities for telegraphing, and that these advantages will be realised, not only without a loss, but with an actual profit, and that this profit will be represented by the difference of N per cent. on the 1 capital which the Government will receive and 31 per cent. which they will have to pay.—Western , Morning News. SHOCKING ACCIDENTS AT CREWE. An accident, which caused the immediate death of three youths and serious injury to two others, has occurred on the Chester line, a short distance from Crewe railway sta tion. The annual Sunday school excursion, got up by the Wesleyans at Crewe and the district, took place, and two trains, consisting of twenty-eight carriageS each; left Crewe between seven and eight o'clock in the morning ; the pas sengers being for the most part parents and friends of the scholars attending the Wesleyan schools. The trains left Llandudno on the return journey shortly after seven o'clock in the evening, and were delayed at Chester whilst the line was cleared of some luggage carriages. At a distance of about three quarters of a mile from Crewe station the line passes by the side of a field adjoining the highway, and is protected by a fence belonging to the London and North Western Bail way Company. Between forty and fifty boys from Crewe had proceeded to this roiot in order to witness the return of the train, and breaking through the fence they took up their positions on or near the down line, where they were run over by an engine which had left Crewe for Chester. Five boys were knocked down, three cf whom were instantly killed, the engine passing over them, and two others seriously injured At nearly the same time ancther accident occurred at Crewe station. A drover named Charles 'Saville, of Mossley, was knocked down by an express train, and it is believed that he cannot recover from the dreadful injuries that were inflicted upon him. On Saturday the marriage of Mr. Arthur Dun combe, eldest son of Admiral the Honourable Arthur Dun ccmbe, with Miss Katherine Milbank, was solemnised at St. George's Church, Hanover-square. The service was per formed by the Honourable and Rev. Augustus Buncombe, Dean of York. INSURANCE COMPANIES.—Some suggestive figures concerning ins:lrance companies have been issued. These shew that there have been 250 life assurance companies registered since 1844, with a nominal capital of £69,057,500. The amount subscribed for was £28,578,691; the amount paid up, £3,166,633. One hundred and forty of these companies have wound up or are " supposed to have ceased business." NEW LIGHTHOUSE.—Last week the Master and Brethren of the London Trinity House laid the foundation stone of a new lighthouse to be erected on Souter Point, a headland on the Durham coast, between the Wear and Tyne. It will be erected to prevent wrecks from occurring if possible on Whitburn Steel, of which there have been so many complaints within recent years. THE CHARGE OF INCITING SOLDIERS TO SEDITION CORK.—The man Johnson, charged with distributing seditious placards to soldiers, was brought before the magistrates on Saturday. Sub-inspector Gunn stated that there were good reasons for believing the prisoner to be insane, and that his friends were anxious to have him put under restraint. After some evidence the prisoner was committed for trial, the magistrates consenting to accept small bail for his appearan CABINET COUNCIL.—At the Cabinet Council held on Saturday, in Downing-street, the Ministers present were the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, the Lord Chancellor, Earl de Grey and Rpon, the Earl of Kimberley, the Right Hon. H. A. Bruce, the Earl of Clarendon, Earl Granville, the Right Hon. E. Cardwell, the Duke of Argyll, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Right Hon. Hugh Childers, the Right Hon. J. Bright, the Right Hon. G. J. Goschen, the Marquis of Hartington, and the Right Hon. C. Fortescue. THE STATUTES AT LARGE.—The Law Times announces the decision of the Government in the matter of the statutes at large :—" The Government has, we believe, determined that for the future the statutes shall be printed in the form of a small folio, and in no other shape. The size and shape thus adopted will give to them a respectable aspect in the library, and will be pleasant enough for reading or reference upon the desk ; but it will be very inconvenient for the bag and for carrying upon the circuits, where the greatest quantity of informa tion is required to be packed inthe smallest possible space." THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.—The number of new members returned to the House of Commons since the dis solution of November 1868 has now been increased to 23, and, taking account of 13 re-elections, it would appear that the House has been renewed during the past seven months to the extent of 5'47 per cent. The new members are —Mr. R. H. Hurst (as to whose election there was at first some uncertainty), Horsham ; Mr. Drax, Wareham ; Colonel Wilmot, South Derbyshire ; Mr. Bruce. Renfrew shire ; Mr. T. Whitworth, Drogheda ; the Marquis of Hartirigton, Radnor; Mr. E. Miall, Bradford ; Major Anson, Bewdley ; Mr. C. Phipps,Westbury ; Baron L. N. Rothschild, London ; Sir 11. Johnstone, Scarborough Mr. If. James, Taunton ; l‘f r. C. W. Hoskyns, Hereford Colonel Clive. Hereford ; Mr. E. It. Hornby, Blackburn ; Mr. H. M. Feilden, Blackburn ; Major Walker, Dumfries shire ; the Earl of Marsh,West Sussex ; Lord Hyde, Breck nock ; Mr. M. Guest , You g hal ; Mr. Ilorsman, Liskeard ; Mr. Salt, Stafford ; and Captain Talbot, Stafford. Of the 23 new members returned 15 are Liberals and 8 are Con servatives ; they succeed 14 Liberals and 9 Conservatives, so that, during the last seven months, the Liberals have gained one, counting two on a division . . Nine seats are now vacant —viz., Norwich, 1 ; Dublin, 1 ; Nottingham, 1 ; Cashel, 1 ; Sligo, 1 ; Bridgwater, 2 ; and Beverley, 2. 1 Of these nine seats fi aki ve w d ere ifference of one held by Conservaon atdivision.ives and f o ur by Liberals, m ng a The strength of the Liberals has thus been increased by . .. three fihwe the general elections PORTUGAL.

The fire is walled in to prevent the access of air. Gas is thus generated, and further explosions are feared. The friendly relations of a well-known Irish land lord and Lis tenants have, the Manchester Courier states, been seriously jeopardised by the late announcement of Mr. Bright. The landlord, an English member of Parliament, was upon the best terms with bisteuants, and was disposed to grant leases ou favourable conditions to those who desired them. About two months ago six of the tenants desired twenty one years' leases, and the landlord at once acquiesced, and ordered the necessary documents to be prepared. A day or two ago the tenants declined the leases; "at all events until they become thornughly Apprised of the manner in which Mr. Bright intolds dealing with the land question." An extraordinary confession of murder is rt poi tau from Hull. Thirty-three years ago an old woman named Libter disappeared mysteriously frun Stockton-ou-Tees, and some months afterwards her dead body was disc )vered in a hedge. Tice only son, who bore a bad character, was suspected of having murdered his mother, the suspicion arising mainly from the circumstance that, on the morning before her disappearance, the old woman said her son was pursuing her to murder her, and to rob her of two pounds itd inclining At the coroner' s i nques t an open ver di c t was returned — the jury te icide t fr o om the th o e pi f n a i c o t n u t ia li t at a the deceased found dttad comm lying beside the body.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Times has little interest in the result of this week's debate as it affects the Irish Establishment. Those who have keenly pursued some single object know what it is to feel a certain lassitude when the quarry has been struck and the chase is about to terminate. It is like a man who holds something in his band he could so easily reclaim that he is careless whether he opens his fingers and for 3 moment lets it go. But the decision of the Peers has an interest of its own in its bearing upon the Peers them' selves. Will they acknowledge the limits of the control they can beneficially exercise over the legislation Parliament ? Will they recognise the recurrence of one of those rare occasions when it becomes the duty of individual members of the House of Lords to abstain from insisting upon their own opinion in opposition to the judgment of the nation? It is with unfeigned satisfacti on we receive the assurance that the vote of the Lords will shew the majority Conservative in the truest sense. single week has turned a considerable majority agains t the bill into a small but adequate majerity in its favour , and we have the best confidence that before Saturday- morning that favourable majority will have increased to larger proportions. Five or six peers who have held office under Lord Derby will throw' the weight of their arguments into the scale against the motion to reject the bill ; the Bench of Bishops will shew their patriotism in counsels of moderation ; while the number of independent peers declining to follow Lord Harrowby , an d even resolving to vote against him, grows daily. W ith such facts before us we await the result of the week debate with equanimity, assured that the policy of just ice will not be delayed, and that by yielding at the right eon" juncture the reputation and authority of the House of Lords will be established more firmly than ever. The Standard declares that the House of Lords has been subjected to an amount of pressure by the friends a the Irish Church which is entirely without preceden t ' What it desires to insist upon is, that it has been all ° one direction. Whether we take the language of Church° 'men or Protestant Dissenters, of deputations from Ireland or of meetings in England, its burden is in every case identical. No one asks the House of Lords to amend tat bill in committee. All are unanimous in demanding tila the DM shall be rejected on the second reading. It i s almost made the condition upon which the Conservative party have received such wide-spread support that the bill shall not be suffered to pass into committee. The Peers are in a manner forced to deal with it in this mann er and we trust that so important a consideration will not be lost sight of by those who might be disposed to favour more tentative course of action. After all, we have it °T ;, unimpeachable authority that the Government w ill no t recognise even the possibility of a compromises an d tea t they " will not allow the bill to be tampered with in way," because "its principle involves all its details." 1e Peers are told that they must pass the bill as it stancg 4 and that they will alter it at their peril. We can bar d , l 6 be surprised that they should take up the challenge atut't; earliest possible moment rather than stave it off wi t " ( i preliminary sham fight. As Mr. Gathorne Hardy °Ai at Leamington, the Government employed their streng'''; in the House of Commons with "inexorable har shnese' e rejecting every amendment which in the smallest degrei, mitigated the severity of the measure, and consequenb.: it goes up to the House of Lords " in all its defo rtalt"' iniquity, and injustice."
