Earl Gem', in this matter of the Irish Church, is determined to thrust himself to the fore. His amend ment in regard to the preamble he announced be times last evening. As to his opinions in reference to the measure generally, it will not readily be forgotten how very obtrusively those were forced upon the con sideration of the House of Lords, and, through the House, upon the notice of the country at large. So obtrusively that Lord GREY'S insistance upon his right to resume the discussion, upon the renewal of the debate after its first adjournment, involved in it the greatest possible disappointment to the House of Lorde itself, and afterwards to the whole community. One thing Lord GREY is always resolved upon— though as a rule little or nothing ever comes of it— ! timely, that he must be heard. Scarcely a soul in the Hou-e is ever found to agree with him. He identifies himself with no political party. He sits significantly enough upon the cross benches. And whereas some body has said jocosely, that if two men can make a political party Lord GREY seems always to be de cidedly of opinion that to that end one person—him self—is clearly sufficient. His position in the House of Lords is peculiarly and conspicuously isolated. He stands so absolutely apart from all the rest of the peers that one might almost fancy the only effectual way to induce him to abandon any one of his own crotchets would be to agree with him in it. Directly he finds himself trending towards concurrence with anyone, he is instantly and instinctively— off at a tangent. The facility with which he can, in this way, at any moment, diverge from Lis own line of argument, so as to maintain at all hazards his complete isolation from everybody else, arises, as one might say, from his never remain ing in any of the old grooves. The flange of his erratic wheel of fortune, to speak fantastically of it, as though it were actually like Herr SCHNIZERL'S one wheeled velocipede—the flange of his wheel of fortune never drops into any one of the old ruts, but leaves him as free in movement, as ready in deflection, to the right or to the left, as the most practised skater, as one capable at any moment, either upon the inside or the outside edge, to take the back turn or the front turn at his own free will and pleasure. So little is he in accord with any one that his administrative experience may be referred to, now, as remote — though, during is continuance, it was in somerespects various. Since 1852 he has had no seat in any Cabi- Immediately prior t) that, he had been Secre tary of State for the Colonies. He first held office as Under-Secretary of that department in his father's Administration. For a brief period he occupied the position of Under-Secretary for Home Affairs. And in 1835, on the formation of the MEL BOURNE Government, he had been nominated Sec retary at War. Under his courtesy title as Lord HAWICK, he represented successively in the house of Commons —in 1826, Winchelsea —in 1833, Higham Ferrars —in 1.831, No. thumberlaud —in 1841, Sunr:prland. Within four ye_►rs after the last mentioned date, namely in 1815, he took his seat in the House of Peers (upon the death of his father) as the third Earl GREY. It was in the year following, namely, in 1846, that he was appointed Secretary of State for the Colonies, upon the formation of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S first Administration. Resigning with his colleagues about six years afterwards, that is in 1852, Lord GREY published in two volumes an elabo rate Vindication of his Colonial Policy. Since that time he has never taken his seat in any Govern ment. Even upon the construction of the celebrated Cabinet of All the Talents, Earl GREY was over- net. lo.le 1. lie was conspicuous by hi 3 absence from it. Lord ABERDEEN gathered together his heterogeneou a forces, but among the varied leaders of those forces Earl GREY was nowhere discernable. Especially, and p:culiarly since that date, it that Earl GREY has fought for his own hand in the PatFamentary lists. De bon servir le roy is the loyal motto of his house—emblazoned under the device of a sealing-ladder. If not crest fallen, his device leads nowhere-- and as for his motto, it might now, in his own instance, De bon vouloir, servir luimerne. We cannot pretend even to conjecture what good there is in an insolatel " poli deal party," such as is formed by Lord GREY'S own individuality. It simply expreEsez the odi ideas of one man. But it has at least the merit of expressing those right out and quite unreservedly. that report or the evidence, which has just been ' printed in a substantial volume of nearly 250 pages, without acknowledging the magnitude of the evil wherewith it deals. The clergy can henceforth have no excuse for neglecting the subject. Hitherto too many of them have held aloof from it through a somewhat ignorant idea that the tem perance question was, somehow, identified with dissent. They will now see that there is no subject in which a parochial clergyman is more deeply concerned. The next point will be to bring this report to bear practically upon the evil with which it deals. We heartily rejoice to see that the first step has been taken in this direction by Arch deacon DENISON, who, living in Somersetshire, and being, therefore, well acquainted with the evils of the cider-truck system, has carried the following resolution :—" That the practice prevailing in many parts of the country, especially in the cider districts, of the sale of drink by persons having no licences of any kind, is also commended to the notice of Convo cation, and the attention of the Legislature called to the necessity of providing a remedy for an evil having so close a connection with the subject matter of this report." We trust that this will be an effective blow against the iniquitous system by which agri cultural labourers in the West of England are com pelled to receive a portion of their wages in a beverage that is utterly useless for food, and is often a noxious poison.

AIARLBOROUGI - I-STREET. " GIVING THE TlP."—John Thropp, a black man, was charged with begging in Great Portland-street. Peoe-coustable James Swaine, 14 E, said that he saw the prisoner lying on the ground in Great Portland-street, begging, and saying "Pity a poor cripple," and a well dressed young man standing opposite ready to give him the "tip" when the police were coming, After being at the place some time the prisoner took the young man into a public-house, and called for half a pint of old and bitter, and a pennyworth of gin in it for him. The prisoner hav ing become noisy he took him into custody. A witness named Alexander Smith watched the pri soner for three hours, and saw him begging, and a person giving him the " tip." The prisoner went into a public house and called for some gin, saying he wanted " Old Tom," as fiVepenny gin WAS not goqd enough. The pri soner, while on the ground, was continually shaking, and pretended he could not walk. Committed for a month with hard labour. HAYMARKET THEATRE. The production of a new and original domestic drama by Mr. Tom Taylor would of itself have been quite sufficient to have insured a crowded audience, but the additional fact had become public that the play had been written for Miss Bateman, and that she would sustain the leading part, last night filled this elegant and favourite theatre to an over flow. The title of the drama is " Mary War ner," and we may as well say at once that the admirable actress has been fitted with a part that probably will rival in success even that of " Leah." The author has taken a homely incident for illustration, and working out the plot ha hag cleverly introduced a number of telling yet simple illustrations of the longsufferings that virtue for a time may have to undergo; but which in the end only tend to show how much a true-hearted woman will suffer for the object on which she has set her pure and unalterable affection. That Miss Bateme n infused into such a part the most intense pathos no one can doubt ; and great as the estimation of her powers undoubtedly is with the majority of playgoer; those who had the good fortune and privilege of being present List night spontaneously bore fresh and enthusiastic testimony to the truth of her inimit able acting. The plot of the piece briefly told is as follows :—Georga Warner, a young engineer, clever and talented, becomes graatly dissatis fied at the treatment he has received at the hands of his employers, Messrs. Dutton and Downes, engineers and contractors, who have on former occasions immensely benefited by the ingeni ous inventions of George without making him a further reward than a few small gratuities, who is desirous of emigrating to America, where genius and brains, he has been told, get better appreciated than in the old country. Downes, not willing to lose a good and clever man, but unwilling to give him the slightest share in the product of his inventions, refuses him a loan of £2O, which so enrages George that he makes use of observations that induce Downes to make reference to a cash box, to which George re plies that he has, he believes, as good a right to a portion of the contents as the master. He, how ever, quits the office in disgust, and then, without his knowledge, Mary,his wife, seeks her husband's employers, in order that she might solicit that aid which she thinks her husband's high spirit will not allow him to ask. She likewise is refused, and whilst engaged in conversation with the wife of George, Downes is called from the office, from which he hurries, without locking the drawer containing the cash box. Mary, having learned from Downes that George has made the request and received a refusd, also quits the place, and then Bob Levitt, an idle fellow-workman of George's, with a mind above bard work, and who hasbeen discharged, enters and carries into execution a plan he has had in con templation of robbing the firm. He steals the cash box and makes off with it, resolving to give George the £2O he requests to get to go to America. The robbery is discovered, Mary and George Warner are the suspected parties, and the police are at once put on the track. Bob, to carry out his intention of lending George the £2O, calls at his lodging, but, finding all from home, takes the opportunity of opening the cash box with George's chisel, and having wrapped four five-pound notes up in an American packet list c3nceals the box in George's room. The police enter, and on their return Mary and George are told of the robbery, and the strong suspicion that attach to one or other of them, which thefinding of the property strongly confirms. George becomes indignant and dangerous, and Mary, thinking that her biisbaud has yielded to temptation, declares that she is the thief. A trial takes place, M try is sentenced to five years' penal servitude, and George for a time becomes a broken man to think his Mary should have degraded herself so vilely. Time wears on, Mary serves her sentence, and resolv ing never to live with her husband more after bis cruel treatment, she seeks work of the hardest de scription, and is compelled to live in a not very re spectable neighbourhood. George, in the mean time, has become a wealthy man, and in his desire to relieve the distresses of au almost frantic woman he gets robbed of his purse. The police suspect Mary, she is taken into custody, and the first meeting of haiba , l4 and wif , .3, after their five years' separation, is in the police-court, George sitting on the bench beside the magistrate, Mary being at the bar. it is shown that Mary is not the thief, and she is discharged, but George is driven almost to madness at the dis • covery of his wife, and takes steps to ascertain tier retreat. Remorse and drink have driven Bob Levitt almost mad, and he determines to confess the robbery. This he does, and then in the last scene, the drawing-room of the wealthy engineer, George Warner, Mary his long suffering wife again receives the deep and devoted love of her husband and child. Of the acting of Miss Bateman we can only say it was truth itself. Throughout the play she had carried the deep sympathies of her audime.e with her, and in the last scene, her interview with her child after an absence of five years, she again touched the deepest chord of affection, and drew tears from many, who certainly thought their crying days were over. Mr. Howe acted with great ability, and Mr. Compton and Mr. Rogers, the one as the over officious poli3e.man, and the other the kind-hearted warder of Brixton prison, each sus tained their parts to admiration. Mr. Kendall played the part of Levitt very well, and Miss C. Hill Ls Milly Rigg deserves the highest commendation for the taste and pathos she infused into the part. Little Miss White, who appeared as the child of Mary and George Warner, acted splendidly, and many a fond mother amongst the audience envied Miss Bateman the privilege of hugging and kissing her. The scenery is more than ordinarily good— the interior of the prison at Brixton, the West minster Police Court, and Plum Tree Court, called forth the loudest applause. All the principal characters were called for at the close of the drama. Miss Bateman received quite an ovation, and Mr. Torn Taylor also had to bow his acknowledgments for the applause bestowed upon this his last and, we might almost say, his best work. Mr. Buckstone announced that the play would be repeated on every evening of Miss Bateman's en gagement, and in the most confidential and private manner he informed the audience his benefit was fixed for the 10th of July—a secret he hoped they would not fail to keep. Both announcements called forth the loudest applause, amidst which the popu lar manager and favourite actor retired. THE clergy attracted so much attention to them selves last week by their speeches in the House of Lords that those which they delivered in their own peculiar assembly, the two Houses of the Canter bury Convocation, have been overlooked. And yet their debates in this latter body were worthy of notice. Two very different subjects were broughtbef ore them : one a matter affecting the faith, another a matter affecting morals. The first was the Athanasian Creed, the second was drunkenness. Concerning the first, there is little new for us, at all events, to say. We have again and again expressed our dis like of this creed, and our belief that it is doing the Church irreparable harm. We have pointed out that this document has really nothing to be said for it ; that it was not written by the great man whose name it bears ; that it was not accepted by the Church for many centuries; that it was 1m" posed in direct defiance of the decree of the great Council of Nice, which condemned by anticipation the framing of any additional creeds; that it is net imposed by either the Scotch or by the American Episcopalian Church ; that no one can possibly believe it, least of all the High Church party, who, at the same time that they are most zealous in retaining it, wish to enter into communion with the Eastern Church, whose members this very creed consigns to eternal damnation. It is with satisfac tion, therefore, we find that even some of the bishops think it would at least be wise to render the reading of this creed optional. We would far rather see it suffer the fate of the three State services, and be expunged from the Prayer-book altogether. But the proposal to leave the use to the discre tion of individual clergymen would probably before long lead to a general disuse. Most of the clergy would gladly be released from the burden of reading this creed ; and as for the rest, they cannot afford to disregard the all but unanimous wishes of the laity. Turning to the other matter which Convocation has been discusaing, we cannot but congratulate the reverend members that they have at last put them selves in accord with the nation by taking in hand a matter which so deeply affects both the temporal and the spiritual welfare of the people. It is, perhaps, scarcely too much to suppose that the active part taken by a Roman Catholic Archbishop in this subject has led the Anglican clergy to see the importance of it. When Archbishop MANNING is received with raptu rous applause by six thousand working men in Pro testant Manchester, it is time for Archbishop TAIT and his suffragans to look to their laurels. At present, indeed, the temperance question has been taken up only by the Lower House of Convocation, but it will no doubt be shortly brought before the Upper. That it has been introduced into Convocation at all is due mainly to the untiring exertions of the Archdeacon of COVENTRY. Few persons know the labour involved in getting up the report,Which has just been pre sented to ConvOcation by the committee of that body over which he presided, Few persons can peruse THAMES. AN IMPUDENT MENDICANT.--John Lewis, a bloated, heavy, and dissipated fellow, aged 47 years, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged-with soliciting and receiving alms in James-street, Ratcliff, and using threatening and abusive language to, those who refused to give him alms. Henry Sliugsby, a police constable, No. 391 K, stated that he saw the prisoner, who was an impudent and sturdy mendicant, knock at the doors of ten different houses in Devonport-street, Ratcliff, yesterday afternoon, and afterwards knock at the doors of several houses in James-street, leading out of Devonport-street. Half-ponce, food, or old clothes were given to the prisoner at nearly every house. The prisoner's wallet was amply filled, and he took him into custody. Thorewere 40 outlets of bread and sundry pit oes of beef and mutton in his pack. Tho prisoner abused him and used very bad lan guage, and also attempted to strike him. He saw money given to the prisoner, whose conduct was very offensive. -Slingsby then produced a large packet of bread and meat which he took from the prisoner. Mr. Benson—This is a very bad case. The prisoner said he could get no work, and was ob liged to beg. Mr. Benson—You must not beg. ho prisoner —And I must not steal. Mr. Benson—No, you must not steal. The prisoner —What am Ito do? I must not beg, I must not steal. Mr. Benson-. You are a dangerous character. The prisoner —No ; I am not a dangerous character. Mr. Benson —Y ou are a regu l ar me ndicant, and prefer bullying and begging to wo r k. I shall make you work for a month. Y ou are sen t ence d t o o ne months' impri sonment and ha r d lab our i n th e H ouse of Correction. If brought here again and the case made out, the sentence will be doubled, WESTMINSTER. BRUTAL OUTRAGE BY A SOLDIER.-James Wilson, a private of the Grenadier Guards, was charged with a brutal outrage upon Jane Price, a young woman. The object of defendant's brutality was not in attend ance. Defendant's face was much disfigured, a gentleman who interfered to restrain his brutality baying been attacked by him and struck him in return. Mr. John Phillips said—l live at 25, Renfrew-road, Kennington-lane. 1 was passing Vauxhall-bridge at 11 o'clock last night with a friend when I heard screams from a woman, and saw defendant striking a young woman very hard. He struck her about three times. The last blow knocked her down, and while on the ground he kicked her most terribly, We ran up and found her covered with 1,1 ed. We iur_aed:ately interfered to protect her, and he irk(' to assault us, and my friend gave him the marks you see. Police-constable W'im Thom, 191 la —I heard screams, and went up and found defendant endeavouring to take his belt off to assault the gentlemen. The woman was bleeding profusely. occurred at the station w h en th e c h a rge was taken, Inspector Humphreys, of th e B described what from which it appeared that the woman, who was acquainted with defendant, was.kindly shovring.him the way to Vic toria Etation, when he attacked her without cause of any Defendant, who clonie4 that ho either attac k or liiclod .„.. .

The following Memorandum has been jesued .o officers commanding metropolitan Volunteer corps : "A communication having been received from his Royal Highness the Ranger of Hyde-park in re gard to the inconvenience and danger to the public occasioned by officers commanding Volunteer corps permitting their bands to play when entering the park or marching along or across the roads at a time when the park is crowded with carriages and equestrians, the Secretary of State for War re quests that the following regulations may be ob served by Volunteer Corps entering Hyde Park between the hours of four and eight p.m. - Fo , 1.

Ills Highness the Viceroy• of Egypt arrived in London this afternoon, and proceeded to Bucking ham Palace. He was attended byLord Alfred Paget and Lieut.-Colonel Cavendish, who, by command of the Queen, are appointed to wait on his High- Aess during hid visit. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, MONDAY, June 21. It is announced that Belgium has given way on the matter of the railway difficulty. A Cabinet Council was held at Brussels on Sunday—the business must have been pressing —under the presidency of the King. It was then decided that on no consideration could Belgium afford to expose herself to the consequences of the Com mission's work being left unfinished. There was a danger of this sort of rupture yesterday, and the King, it is said, cannot persuade himself to face it. The French demands are therefore accepted. The resolution of King Leopold is so strongly taken, Bays the Patric, that if M. Fexe-Orban continues adverse to this course, there will be a change of Ministry. Such is the bulletin published by the official journals here. We have not yet quite clone with the elections. It will be remembered that four deputies of the Left—Picard Simon, Gambetta., and Bancel—have been elected in two places, and that each of there has a seat to dispose of. It is now asserted that the last-named deputy will elect to sit for Paris in order to bring iu II non for Lyons, which is the place where M. Bailed secured his second election. Jules Simon, however, will certainly sit for Bordeaux. It is not certain that if he chose Paris, M. Lavertujon would get in for Bordeaux, and as the seat at Paris is ;safe to the Opposition, it is thought well not to run any risk. It is to be desired that some of these four deputies decide to sit for Paris, for another Etruzgle in four circumscriptions of the capital would expose us to the dangers of another riot. '['here is nothing new to report from the great region which is now a prey to strikes of different kinds. There have been no more troubles at St. Etienne, but the miners' strike had not terminated up to the date of my latest information. Negotiations were going on between masters and men, but no progress has hitherto been made. No ill-feeling has been created by the volleys of Chassepots which resulted in the death of thirteen per- The inhabitants seem to tacitly admit that they were in the wrong, and that the soldiers had no alternative but to act as they did. Nevertheless, though the troops were obliged to fire in self-defence, the necessity is not the less to be deplored, for in this, as in other cases of the kind, the punishment overtook at least one or two who were guiltless. One poor girl, the daughter of a miner, who bad not struck, but who was out of work, was hit by two balls from behind. One entered her back, coming out by the shoulder and breaking the arm, the otherlodged in the thigh. It does not appear that there is any hope of.her recovery. It is remarkable that the French people themselves should have furnished some of the earliest evidence of the power of the Chassepot. The hole made by the ball on entering the girl's dress was exceedingly small, but on the other side a piece of cloth two or three inches square was torn off. It is thought probable that Senor Olozaga may return to Paris in the capacity of Spanish Ambassador. Another Higgs case has come to light. One of the most important commercial companies in Paris had for its cashier a man of unsuspected character, who remained at the head of affairs from 1835 to 1863. Six years ago, having arrived at the age of 55, he, much to the regret of the directors, retired in all honour. A short time ago ageneral scrutiny disclosed that the cashier had, by falsifying the books, kept up a completely successful course of swindling. A long and minute inquiry has shewn that during the last eight years of his service the worthy cashier, who had retired to spend his days in peace, had robbed the company, of £B,OOO. This is a much more Moderate style of swind ling than that practised by Mr. Higgs, but it has proved more successful. The good and faithful servant has en joyed the profits of his roguery for more than five years. But he is safe under lock and key now, and the termina tion of his existence will probably woefully belie his ex pectations. " The way of transgressors is hard." A double murder has been perpetrated at Bayonne. An old maid of some little property, who lived with a single young servant, has been murdered, with her domestic, and the house plundered. It seems that the servant girl was engaged to a young man, but the marriage was broken off through his imprudent habits. He is accused of the murder. The invitations issued by the Viceroy for the opening ceremonials of tha Suez Canal have not been very success ful, but his Highness may take courage. Several members of the Orleans family will be present. The Libert6 has this news from a good source ; but if the Empress be going to Egypt, and it appears certain that she is, how will the meeting be arranged? CORK INTELLIGENCE. A telegram from Cork says that the. attempt to get up a demonstration at the funeral of the man Campbell, who was shot in an attack upon the house of Mr. Grey, J.P., proved a failure ; but about 1,000 persons were present at the funeral.—A man named Wall, in cus tody for the murder of Mr. Power,l; as barn committed for trial to the assizes. The police have strong evidence against him. The prisoner Wall's footprints have been traced from the scene of the murder, and a bottle fled as his was found near the body.—A man named Allis is in custody for the murder of Bradshaw.—Two men, named Kennedy and Leanly, were charged at Nenagh on Saturday with stealing arms, from the 'military barracks. They went on the authority of the Lerd-Lieutenant to the arm stores to get back guns taken during the Fenian excitement. Having obtained the gun they went away, but the sergeant's suspicions being aroused, the men were followed and searched. Seven pistols and ammunition were found on them. They have been committed for trial. The police barracks are being fortified with mantles and bullet-proof shutters. AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS. The Magnet has the following on the agricultural prospects :—" The unfavourable change in the weather, and the consequent deterioration of the growing crops, have caused some uneasiness in the agricultural di s tricts. The heavy rains, coupled with strong, cold winds, have greatly retarded vegetation, and considerably diminished the prospects of anything like an early harvest. The wheat plait in particular is very backward for t!.e time of year ; nevertheless, we do not as yet hear of any, positive additional darnage, or indeed of any damage at all, which could not be rectified by a continuance of fine weather. It must, however, be borne in mind that we arc now verging on a critical and dangerous period, during which, if wet weather should predominate, the most disastrous results will ensue. The wheat plant has come into ear later than in ordinary years, and it is fully a month behind last year. The flowering time is now drawing near, and the fate of the crop will be mainly regulated by the weather which may prevail in the meantime. Much anxiety is felt as to the issue. The general opinion is that the harvest will prove unfavour able, both in respect to quality and yield. As regards spring corn the accounts are satisfactory. The crops look well and promising, the heavy rain having failed to create mischief. In respect to the hay crop, the re ports during the last few days have been satisfactory. A large quantity of grass has been cut ; but owing to the heavy rains and wind a considerable proportion has been spoiled. Potatoes on the whole are turning out well. The complaints of disease in the south-west of England are very partial, and not sufficiently general to create uneasiness. The root crops have profited by the abundant moisture, and there will doubtless be a good yield." The trade for wheat is very firm, and prices have advanced two to four shillings per quarter. Considerable firmness prevailed in the grain trade yesterday at Mark-lane, in consequence of the unfavour able weather, and an upward tendency was noticed in prices. The Chief Rabbi of the Jews in England, the Rev. D r. Adler, who is at present in Manchester, was entertained on Suudaj at a banquet in Cheetham Town Hall. The pro ceedings were cii:fflY complimentary. Dr. Adler, referring to the results of his tour through the north of Eng land, expressed eFpecial p i en.6 ,: , re on account of the anxiety he had found displayed to provide; for the education of the young. • - - The death is announced of Jas. Edwart. ,Cranstoun, Baron Cranstoun, of Creeling, county of Boat);WO, in the Scotch Peerage. His lordship was the eldest of two Sou.s of James Edmund, ninth lord , by his wife, Anna Linnington, eldest daughter of Mr. John Macnamara, of the Wand of St. Christopher. Ho was Loin in 1809, end suc ceeded his father iri the family honours in Sep tember, 1818. The late lord, who was a bachelor, is suc ceeded by his brother, the Ron. Charles Frederick Clan steno, hero in 1813. On Sunday Bishop Goss made another political speech at a Roman Catholic church. 10 the course of it ho stated that there were thousands of men in England ready to resort to perrccut:on of the "most horrible nature " in order to suppress Roman Catholicism ; that the scheme for the promotion of secular education ought to be opposed to the utmost, because it interfered with the dissemination of true religion; and that Lord Derby'a speech on the Irish Church Bill showed that be had been misinformed on several points. Ho informed his audience that the reason why Cardinal Cullen threatened the Boman Catholics with excommunication if they at tended the Masonic ball given in honour of the royal visit to Ireland, was that the machinery of the masonic order was such that, if developed to put into f o rce, i t would " exer .. cise a prejudicial influence in the government of the sons. A DEAN'S APPREHENSIONS. Dean Boyd, in the course of his sermon at Exeter Cathedral, on Sunday, said : " During the last two or three weeks there has been before the Houses of Parliament a question which is making the hearts of most men tingle, and the hearts of honest Christians throb. No matter what his political feeling, every one feels that the country is on the point of a terrible experiment—on the point of trying the experiment whether it be a safe thing or an unsafe thing for a nation to repudiate connection with its Church. Looking at the probable issue of the controversy which has been going on in the Houses of Legislation we find this to be fact—that whereas an Established Church is left to England, and an Established Church is left to Scotland, for the first . time in England's history an Established Church has been denied to Ireland. Surely as Christians we are justified in asking ourselves the question, ' Can it be safe for a nation to repudiate its ecclesiastical connection with God ? Is it safe for a nation to cast away the connec tion which Las hitherto been so close and sacred, by the expulsion of the Church out of Ireland, and proclaim this great truth. Here for ever the State of Ireland and the Church of Ireland shall be separable and separate from each other?' We must admit that we are on the edge of a tremendous question. Perhaps God may pardon us, and sanction what is being done. Avoiding factious op position or putting restraint upon social or civil powers, so as to interfere with proper rights, let us take the bill and lay it before God, asking him if it is a national sin to pardon it, and if it is a national act of right to bless it. Let us recollect that the heart of the head of the Church is, after all, in God's disposal, and may be actuated , not by statesmanlike inspiration, not by the eloquence of advisers, not by the statutes of history, but by the influence which the spirit of God can exercise on indivi• dual men. Our Queen may yet, be led to stand in the breach against this terrible experiment, and say, not withstanding the arguments and eloquence of her advisers, "This thing must not be, and I say it shah not be.' " DEAN STANLEY ON THE .ROYAL SUP_REMA.CY. Among the many sermons preached on Loyalty and the Royal Supremacy on Sunday last (Accession Day) Wa s one by the Very Rev. A. P. Stanley, D.D., Dean of Westminster. He addressed an immense congregation in Westminster Abbey from the words," The king as suprerne (1 Peter, 11., 13). The doctrine of the supremacy of the save' reign, he said, occupied a most prominent place. It was contained - in the Thirty-nine Articles; it ran throughout the whole of the Prayer-book ;it was expressed in the fundamental acts of the Constitution; it was imposed by most solemn declarations on 0 01 clergyman ; and not only so, it was on this doctrine that the Reformation in this country turned. What was the doctrine ? The first Protestant archbishop, at the corona tion of the Protestant king (Edward VI.), said the king was on earth, under Christ the head of the Church, Supreme. The words in which the doctrine at different times was conveyed had varied considerably, but tb ey bad alwaSs expressed something much the same. He proposed .ts consider the subject in its connection with religious pror ciples. Now the word " king" in the text referred t o the Roman Emperor, a heathen power. From that power the Apostles had received support. They saw nothing llnil °l / in thus associating themselves with the State; they rather contended that the connection between the Church and the State was ; holy institution. The end of Christianity was to consecrate all sorts of governments and institu• tions. Thus it was the glory of Christianity to recogn ise morality, civilisation, literature, monarchy, and coin' monwealth, for when Christianity disconnected itself from these it deserted its high calling. Thus it was that when her Majesty was consecrated within those walls, she was recognised as the ruler of the Church, and consecrated a minister of God and Christ, all the civil functions under her being by implication eon.' secrated in the same holy office. Thus it was that the Apostles recognised the ministers of a heathen emperor, and that Zadoc, the priest, anointed Solomon. Ill° was the Apostle's view of the matter. The Reformatio! recognised something more—not only secular and relk gious life, but also national life and independence. Up to that time there was only two powers thought to be ordained of God—the Emperor of Germany, or of the Holy Roman Empire; and the Bishop of Rome, sr Supreme Pontiff. It was against foreign assumption that the Reformation was directed. In the assertio n of that independence another reform was made—the clergh a s a class privileged to make laws for themselves an d for the State, ceased to exist. It was one of the fundamental principles of the Reformation that henceforth the tops' rate—the overwhelming—power of the clerical order should cease, and that the clergy, like other classes of the community, should neither themselves be contro lled, 0 1 be able to control others by rules of their own m aking ' being bound only by those laws which bound the wb °l° community. That was the meaning of that part of t he Royal Supremacy which declared that the sovereign titian the head and fountain of law, over all causes and person s ' ecclesiastical as well as civil, within her dominion supreme. The Queen was head of the Church because she was head of the nation ; the ministers of the Church were, for the same reasons, m i n i s t ers also of ti le nation ; the law of the nation,was, for the same rea son, the law of the Church. It was not without a great effort that this doctrine of separate independence was thrown elowil; Many good men at that time looked upon the movereen; with suspicion. Many good men now regarded the h o principle with approval. Those Tudor sovereigns, ever, without knowing what they were effecting, secure.l 9 the clergy toleration—independence against othe rs as el. as against themselves—and secured them from a ll control except on the part of the laity in their supreme courts; and the highest authority of the Crown. Theis. things realised to them all that which w as exc li sively noted in that day's prayer for unity. " all, said the Dean, "it impresses upon us l; sovereign and subjects alike, that above the supreme:o the Crown, above the supreme majesty of the law, 012° t the supreme interests of the people, there is that Great Supremacy. He who is alone supreme, without nothing is strong in a State, without whom nothing ls holy in the Church ; our ruler and guide , through °._ help alone we can so pass through the of things temporal, that we finally lose n ot the tlu eternal."

THE CAB DRIVERS OF LONDON.—A of cabowners and drivers on Monday waited upo n ti r, Home Secretary suggesting several alterations in the laid which affect their interests.
