After the discussion of the House of Commons this evening, the interest of the session will be trans ferred to the House of Lords in regard to the Go vernment Bill for the Disestablishment and Disen dowment of the Protestant Church in Ireland. With the third reading of that bill by the Commons this evening will terminate the 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 decorum evade the ignominy of once more revealing to the sight of all men their utter powerle,sncss—that is to aay, by not challenging another division upon the final stage of the measure's progress through the Lower House of Parliament. —we may rest assured that the third read ing would be allowed to pass in silence. A division, howet er, is a painful necessity, forced upon tl:e:n I.y unavoidable e'rcumstaeci-s. Tee re.- ult of it all, we know perfect'y well befor. hind. 'Hereto at every successive step ie regard to this the le gislative act (as it is designed to be) of the ses sion—the Liberals have kept together as they hive not kept together for years past. They h e voted all along—upon every occasion—in respect to this great me :sure 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 lust 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 net follow. No leaders could have spoken more 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 tnarkable for its overwhelming magnitude, but it is still more remarkable, if that be possible, by reason of is persistent unanimity. Its significance is this— ts authority may be thus cl:fitted -s that it is the deli berate out-come of the last General Rection. Its opinion is the opinion of the whole country. It is the sense of this that renders the Opposition so powerless. Nothing is to be gained by that Opposi, ion through withstanding the measure proposed by Mr. GLAD ;TONE, supported by the Liberal Party, and sustained , y the coinci lent opinions of the gre tt mass of the .:onstitucecies. It was upon this very question of the Irialt Church that the two great contending parties went to the country immediately u. on the dissolution , f the late Parliament. The 6uepenscry Bill of last session was the distinct foreshadowing of the Irish Church Bill of the present session—the bill introduced in fttlfliment of the promises deliberately made by the Liberal leaders, promises addressed by them to the douse of Cominoes, alai sulescuet.tly to the dee :ors of the United King loin, pro nixes in tufully carried out in every particular, directly the present Ministry found themselves face to Pace with the newly returned representatives of the e nation. i)erfeetly As pes a :natter of course it would be Aible for the Conzervative 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 lo so if they so pleased, for the simple reason that the Conservative Opposition is as unmistakable in a aiajerity in the House of Peers as the Liberal Govern ment is in a majority in the Honee of Commons. Only- —that the present is precisely one of these great crises in the legislative proceedings of the coun try, when, by their resolute exercise of t h.ir right of veto as the hereditary legi.datots of the empire, the Peers of the United Kingdom would be brought into tired antageniem with the lletisc. of Commor s, and, more tl.an that, into dirt c'.; antagonism with the 'neat mass of Public Opieon throughout the country. Political cri.ses of this kind have occurred before row, tad 1;1 on caeh oec .eien the llotees of Lor.'s has keened it se to succumb to ti.e ehealy expresFed ecision of the people—a decision expressed, first of 11, at the hustings, at.d afterwards in the House of Commons itself through the speeches and the votes of the popular representatives. It was thus in regard to the great question involved in the first comi.rehensive lleasure of Parliamentary Reform, the measure in troduced and carried by Earl GREY and his col !eagues. It was thus in regard to the great pea :iOn of Catholic Emanciption. It was thus also in TIIE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 31, 1860. regard to the great measure by means of which Sir R. PEEL completed the work prepared to his hand 1);% the Anti-Corn Leagu.; and by the Irish Famine— meaning of course the substitution of th; 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 ineon ce.vable, therefore, that, in the face of a Publ Opinion so "pronounced " as it has been within the last twelvemonth in regard to the D:s establishment and hi endowment of the Irish Church, the house of Peers would be so rash, so ill advised, so insensate as to resolve upon throw ing out a Bill passed thr..,ugh the House of Common 3 Ly such overwhelming majorkies and supported so earnestly tlu oughout the length and breadth of the ltml by the great mass of the constituencies. '1 he Earl of DERBY may surely do with dignity what has been do:te wire that once in his time by the Duke of WELLINGTON. 'ne Iron Duke he was called by a familiar so'ir•iquet and yet—to the force of Public Opinion. as expressed, now through the (.I.;neral Elec tion, now through the House of Commons, the Iron Duke could yield, has yielded—rid 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 %Nis-Ay, for the simple reason that while he was a Tr ry he was also a Pattiot—while he was an earnest Conservative, he was also loyni Con stitutionalist. Above the interests of party, he re trardeil the higher interests of th; whole community. The powers of the realm—at all sacrifice of feeling and it might even be said in ore sense of consistency —must, lie conceived, under no ciranas`nces 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 SovEnEms% Theoretically, the Sovereign can, in regard to any measure tint 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 regard to theßoyal assent as—at every time, in every instance, upon every occasion—perfectly optional and certuialy voluntary. But—for all that—it would, to cur thinking, be little less than lez:1 majeste to ima gine the Royal assent seriou-ly refused to any measure passed through its various stages and through both Houses of Parliament. According to one of our long-cherished constitu tional axioms, the KING can do no wrong—and cer tainly he cannot by any loyal subject be imagined even to do a wrong like that—a wrong that would strike, so to rpeak, at the first principles lying as it were at the very roots of the Cons•itw ion. It is from a vivid sens- of all this hat some political philo gophers have shrunk not from asserti n g that while in I. theory the Governm2nt 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 in the House of Commons At any rate it works thus. And far from us be the day when the wisdom f its continuing to work thus might be brought harshly and inexorably to the test, whether by House cf Peers or by Sovereign Prince. Hitherto harmoni ous action has been ensure l among the estates of the realm, by reason, so to speak, of the elastic bonds of the Constitution binding them together. It is earnestly 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 force of Public Opinion wi I always, at crises like the present, enable oar heredi a-y legisla tors, by those very conces-ions, to ensure the con ;inn - ance of that "accordant male of a well-mixed state," audible nowhere so distinctly in any part of the globe as here, under the actual system of our Was i:u• tion al Government. BISHOP TROWEIt belongs to the amphibious order of bishops. Consecrated a bishop of an un-est Iblished 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 maxim, "Never state the reasons of your judgment, 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 GIERALTA IL and present Bishop Commis sary of EXETE R sums u p i n th e c h arge w hich .he now delivering the 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 a OWER 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 MOWER 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 au Established Church, for other nations have done this— yet even admitting that the arguments pro were incontrovertible, what shall we say of the arguments coatra ? Which side will the balance incline when the two are weighed together " Solemn mockery," improper courts, inadequate r a e n p d r e s fromen !a L e i o a i c a l „ ,isolationother, a of the low standard clergy from o the i laityholiness, nay, e , ..cn of morals—how call we meet all these objections ? h ls c 7 4 l l l.e r e ina o t f io l e said niis Tourneys liarßgieslitoh i p a a ia t n l y ;'e l' o 6 f lfv°l ; l' a ' l ß e ll ni e n the during clergy expressi - Jg opinions by no means unfavourable to disestablishment. He may he certain that before his visitation tour is. over, he will find 'many, not only of' the younger, but of th) oiler clergy of the Same inincl. 1f he regre!s the result, it will not the due t.) him. If an Established Church iF desirable or elo 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 MOWER has just delivered. It is the story of BALAAII reversed. He set out to bless, but he has uninten tionally, and perhaps unconsciously, altogether performed the contrary operation. COBBESPONDEMI FROM PARIS. (F1:011 OUP. OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS. SUNDAY, May 30. The Peuple publishes an • article which may be re iarded in some measure as a sort of manifesto of the Emperial policy to be expected in consequence of the victory of the Reds. The Potpie is a journal inti mately connected with the Government, and the article in luestion - is signed by the chief eater, who has just obtained s seat in the Corps Legisla,tif as an official deputy. there is nothing in the shape of ambiguity to complain of 'us this article. It is a plain and decisive declaration against constitutional reform. "What is most necessary at ,his moment is rot an increase of liberty, but the adoption .rf a firm, clear, and decisive policy both at home and thread. The hand of the Emperor must be felt. Far from listening to those who counsel him to take refuge in a chime rical irresponsibility, lie himself must gov ern more than ever. That he will govern in a liberal sense is his Majesty's , nspiration 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 observ e, 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 Inctipendance Belqc is similarly adverse to the prospect sf 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 position is undoubtedly one of extreme diffi- Imity. To make concessions to a party which will be satisfied with nothing short of dethronement appears useless; but to continue personal Governmentin the faccof the re minor:ty 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 p.u. tLc, debating power of the Corps L6gislatif will be ou the side of the noe s. Tillers, Favre, and 011ivier were amongst the greatest speakers of the last Parliament, but in the next these— niers and Favre being pretty sure to get in somewhere— will be reinforced by Gambetta, Easpail, and Baneel, all very p eakers. 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 'hewn in a powerful article by M. PrtSvost- Para.dol— one of the best efforts of that able journalist. The result of the contest has utterly astonished M. Para dol. 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 hive 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 any decisive event during their six • years cf office ; they arc 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 1363 about 5,300,000 electors voted for official candidates, and 1,800,000 against them. This year about 4,000,000 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. Itouher'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 the hands of the en e my. The seizure of the Independence Beige 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 scandalize 3 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 Petrie about the Belgian plot. That canard has been made, the exposure has been put forth, and the affair is at an end. Why, then, seize the Ingepcndance still, except in pursuance of a very discreditab:e 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 formalbusiness ; 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 Patric 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 Petrie 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 Petrie only can answer. France has made the canal, it is true ; but it is to British traffic that the shareholders must look for remune ration. The 10th of October is the precise date on which this great ceremonial is to take place. ADVENTURES OF AN ENGLISH OFFICER IN PARIS. The Correctional Tribunal at Paris, on Thursday, dealt with a remarkable case, in which an English officer, Mr. T. Larkins, described as a handsome man, 28 years of age, was 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, 111. 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, imleed, 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 proVgJcs, 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 he had given a pure-Wooded charger, worth £l,OOO, and to the other a diamond bracelet to the value of £1,500. His principal debt was with a jeweller, named Kramer, whom he owed about £2,C01 In order to obtain more goods from him be sheaved the jeweller a letter, which he said he had received from his brother-in-law, promising to send him the necessary money. A parare of diamonds which he thus got from M. Kramer for £1,200 was pawned the next day at Versailles for £4OO. Kramer not getting the money promised, had Mr. Larkins arrested on the charge of 81 . 411(11i - 11z,-. His friends, however, came forward in the meantime, and satisfied cbmiands of his creditors. The jury, throwing aside the charge of swindling., and locking on the case as that of a foolish prodigal, acquitted the prisoner. • Mr. George Ptabody embarked f.t Liverpool on board the Royal mail steamer Scotia, Captain Judkins, for New York. Fully five hundred ladies and gentlemen had assembled on the Princo'm landiog-stago and pierhead to witness his depar;uro,.and they loudly cheered the voner ab]u 1/ I,ll, aviyorist, ..o-mcd much pletsed 71tIA, tho fislulation. REFORM OF CONVOCATION. 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 FBINCESS CHRISTIAN. Their Royal Highnesses. the Prince and Princess Chris tian left on Friday night for Bahroral, Uit have been com pelled to return to Frogmore, -owing to the budeen indis position of the Princess while en mate for the North. Upon the arrival of the train from Wine.sor at Euston, it errs perceived that the fatigue of tiavc llirg Lad produce - el an tffect ur on the Piincess, who ter an to exhibit symp toms c.f faintness, and a return cf the indisposition from which lu r Royal highness Las tuffered of late, and which lefore prevented her from going to Scotland with the Queer. Under these circumstances Sir W. Jenner it. is unetrstood, advised the immediate return of Ler Royal highness to Frogmore, and the abandonment of the journey to Scotland for the present. Accordingly he royal train left Eustoti and arrived at Windsor about en o'clock. The Princess was accommodated in the Queen's private waiting-room at the Windsor terminus ti!l a carriage was obtained, in which the Prince and Princess drove to their residence. ARRIVAL OF MR. MOTLEY. On Saturday night the Hon. John Lathrop Motley, the new American Minister to this Court, arrived in Liverpool. The Hon. Mr. Dudley, the American Con sul at Llvvxr ,, ol, 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. Motlen'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, iu 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 gentleman in that country to a lady and her husLand, not long since returned from Australia. Forty years ago a stonemason, named M'lntyre, left Glasgow to settle in Dublin. Thera he married a young woman named 111‘Ghee, of humble A year or two afterwards M'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 M'lntyre's little girl. The ship was wrecked, 31‘Intyre, 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. He brought the child up as his own, and remained 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 largo estate in the county of Wicklow. He then sent for his adopted child and her Lasband, who obeyed the sum mons; and not long after their arrival he died, bequeathing to them the whole of his property. Some of the Scotch relatives of the surgeon now claim the property. Within the last two or thr_o weeks three persons have arrived in Liverpool from Australia, who have b. , en brought over soecial'y as witnesses in the case if they slietf.d b.) required. The will of the d'tctor is d:sputcd, as in the document the lady is treated as his child. , The C;ty cf London meeting in oppc.sition to the Irish Church Bill is fixed for Monday, the 7th of June, at half-past one o'clock, and is to he held io the great 11,11, Cannon-street. The chair will b,l taken Ly Mr. John Chubb (a Wesleyan) of St. Paul's-churchyard. The inquest on the body of Eliza Bowen, the woman who, as allege d 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 tchrably 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 ➢fr. 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 Monkweermouth Colliery—is stopped ow . ng to a strike. It is the deepest colliery in the north, and nearly 1 ; 000 men and boys are employed. In April the men agreed to a re duction, which they now reek to have returned, on the ground that the wages are insufficient to maintain them. The masters, however, state that they aro not receiving a sixpence return for their capital, and that they cannot afford, in the present condition of trade, to pay snore than they agreed to do in April. THE TIE E'RESENTATION OF STAFFORD. —Mr. Charles Lamport, one of the first candidates in the field, in a letter to Mr. H. 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 comtituency, 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 ArpARATus. The principle involved in this system is that of sinking a large shaft on the Chinese plan of 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 principle is carried out in the practice of " churn jumping" holes fcr blasting, adopted in certain quarries. The applica tion of this principle to holes7ft. or Sft. diameter, however, required a total change in the details of the apparatus and the method of operation. The EAJiaccr, l.y 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 stutiing-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 chi:.:els all along its under surface. After this the boring is enlarged by means of larger and heavitir 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 'ming with the tools of the smaller diameter is always kept so much in advance of the larger boring, that the libris 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 &brig falls, and which is withdrawn when full, or a metal cylinder, with valves at bottom, opening inwards, receives the dads and raises it, by working, SkWn and PPI. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS. To-night will most likely witness the closing scene of ;he Irish Church drama in the House of Commons. The hill 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 :o-night for its final touch—the third reading. This stage, eowever, will not he got over without some more talk about ' spoliation " and " robbery." Sir Frederick Heygate las given notice that he intends to move " That, as the fill for the disestablishment and disendowment of the [rish Church will, if passed into law, cause a fundamental ;hinge in the constitution of Ireland, it ought, in justice so 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." Ile 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 oe 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 " bas 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 tntends to ask the First Lord of the Treasury how the government intend, in the event of the passing of the Irish Church Bill, to meet the difficulty that will arise under the provisions of the Poor Relief, the Prisons, s,nd other Acts, which direct the appointment of chaplains of the Established Church ; and Mr. Glyn will move for e, 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 Bill 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. Next in order comes the Capital Punishment Abolition Bill,the opposition to this measure beingledby 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 altogether. The Bankruptcy Bill comes on 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 measures 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 for 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 of 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 VNANCE ...-._____-0. ~ _. The debate on the Customs alrd Inland Revenue Duties Bill presents many features of interest. 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, en account of the simplifi cation in the national accounts. The Chancellor of the Excbequer, however, has certainly under estimated the effect of his measure upon the money market, and we fear that serious inconvenience may result at times from the change. We are not, however, anxious to see any attempt to " cocker up" the Bank 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 eolding the national balances, and having the monopoly sf the metropolitan note issue, goes far to extinguish the iebt 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 e 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 suck means of determining the course 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 gures 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 )f 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- Fore 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 close. 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 F 3 !rri e very decided improvement takes place in the condition of the plant.
