It is surely deplorable that, upon the very day when the Upper House of Parliament is asked to pro nounce finally in favour of the noblest act of Justice England has ever volunteered to perform towards Ireland, there should come to us, flashed through the telegraphic cable connecting the two islands, the tid ings of another of those dastardly attempts at agrarian assassination. Daring the last few mouths, it must IQ acknowledged, that the news brought to us from Ireland has b e_a full of d:sappoint nient. Bloodshed has still blurred and blotted the page of Irish history during the very inter val within wliieh the Imp - Irial Logislatu-e c,f the United Kingdom has beau for the most part engaged in the effort to deal at last fairly and generously, open-handedly and open-heartediy, towards the people of Ireland in the matter of that State Church which has, far three centuries, been C. In-t;ntaia3 there 4 them ; that )s Mr. I)isnam.l hims.3lf caqed it, years upon years ago ; a politico-religious insti:ution which has :served no other reNa4nizible purpos?, during the protracted period of its existence, than that of being all the while a most galling badge or brand of c)n quest. Grant, for the sake of argument, that that alien Chum°, larger amount of redress demanded for Ireland, that which is involved in the settlement of the Land Question, ought, perhaps, to have had precedence over the Church Question, as a matter, at once, to be taken into consideration by the Im perial Legislature, as affording the most effectual of all means that could be devised for the tranquiliza tion of Ireland. Nevertheless it should in reason be borne in mind that the determination announced by the Liberal Chiefs to deal first of all with the Irish Church Question, was coupled always with the in timation that the Irish Land Question was to be dealt with, in its turn, immediately afterwards. The ex travagant suggestion has been thrown out, it is true, that those two great problems might have been solved simultaneously by Parliament. But one moment's reflection was sufficient to demon strste that any idea of the kind was simply preposterous. If only upon the common-sense prin ciple of doing one thing at a time, it was manifest, one might almost say to the meanest capacity, that the two most urgently required changes or transfor mations in England's mode of administering or regulating the affairs of Ireland, could alone be wisely adventured upon turn by turn—that one of those two grand difficulties should be overcome before the other was taken in hand in any way seriously. And, of the two, while, no doubt, the boon involved in the settlement of the Land Question is indubit ably the larger, and the more earnestly demand ed by the Irish people themselves from the Imperial Government—that other question, the question of the Irish Church, is by far the more flagrant anomaly in the eyes of all Christendom. Everything consi dered, the. present seems to us to have been all along the wisest course that could have been pursued under the circumstances—the very coarse England has now for so many months benn strenuously and earnestly pursuing, that of striving to do a most signal act of justice towards Ireland, in the face of the whole world, by abolishing, first of all, the Irish State Church by means of its utter disestablishment and its absolute disendow ment. The Government which had the courage and the magnanimity to adventure upon this course, indicated very plainly indeed, at the same time, its determination, as soon as the Irish Church Question had been swept out of view by a bold and comprehensive act of legis lation, to take in hand, at the very next opportunity, the Irish Land Question with a view to its immediate and satisfactory settlement. Who can doubt that— settle this session the Irish Church Question, and the Irish Land Question must next session, by a sort of inevitable sequence, come on, in its pro per turn, for settlement, completely and perma nently ? Tne Liberal Party are pledged to it. Mr. GLADSTONE. is virtually pledged to it. Mr. BRIGHT has a carefully-considered scheme of his own ready at the first opportunity to submit to the judgment of the Legislature. Postpone the settlement of the Irish Church Question until next session, and the settlement of the Irish Land Question is, thereby, at once thrown over for another twelvemonth. Anything whatever that is, even in the least appreciable degree, calculated to retard the agreement of the Lords and Commons, in the matter of the till which has been during these last four or five months under the consideration of Parliament, now in the one house, now in the other, now back again in the Com mons, no•w back again in the Lords, we for one cannot but regard as doubly reprehensible, by reason of its delaying the two largest and most be nignant reforms that could be applied to the grievances of Ireland by the legislative wisdom of the Imperial Government. Here, amongst our selves, upon the very eve of the Irish Church Bill coming for the first time under the consideration of the House of Lards, everything was jeopardized by the arrogant impertinence with which an eminent mem ber of the C tbiuet went oat of hii way wantonly to fl ng iwtults at the Hereditary Branch of the Legisla'ure, as if with the perverse intention of goading the Peers into throwing the Bill out on the second reading by an act of passionate indignation. If anything could have afforded the Lords an excuse for so doing, if anything could have yielded them a shadowy semblance of justification for u..doing all that had been done in the matter by the House of Commons, that excuse, that shadowy semblance of justification they would have had in Mr. BRIGHT'S notorious letter, in which he spoke of their unwisdoni and of their childish tinkering. The Lords were wiser, however, than the Enfant terrible of the Cabinet supposed. The Second Reading was carried in the Upper House by a majority of thirty-three. Then followed the introduction into the Bill, as it originally stood, of a series of elaborate amendments. Those amendments being directly afterwards swept aside enmasse, and iu a manner the most unconciliatory that could possibly be, the Lords are again, as we con ceive, wantonly and perversely afforded the excuse, or eshadowin g semblance of justification, for throwing aside the Bill altogether by an act in itself insensate no doubt, but springing from a perfectly comprehen sible impulse of passionate indignation. Everything depends, in effect, once more, upon the wisdom or unwisdom of the Lords. They disdained;to be irri tated by the insults of Mr. BRIGHT. Let us hope that they will no less unhesitatingly disdain to be irritated by the arrogance of Mr. GLADSTONE. A compromise is even yet happily possible. Con ceding to de Lords the postponement of the appropriation of the surplus, her MAJESTY'S Ministers may, even now, at the eleventh hour, reconcile the Lords, it matters little how reluctantly, to the necessity of legislating this year practically upon the great question of the Irish Church-- the " terrible Marquis" having an eye probably to something like compensation next year, namely, through the discomfiture upon the Irish Land Ques tion of the great and strong Liberal Government. MR. BRIGHT has profited by the criticisms upon his first letter, and has written a second, in which the most susceptible Conservative cannot find a word to condemn. Not that the two letters differ as to substance ; so far as that is concerned they are identical. The difference consists in the style in which, and the circumstances under which, these letters were written. In the first Mr. BRIGHT spoke of " childish tinkering," of men not " over wise," and of accidents which might happen that would not be pleasing to the Peers. These remarks were made when it was still uncertain if the Lords would read the Irish Church Bill, but when it was generally hoped and believed that they would do so. The letter, therefore, was ill-timed, needlessly offensive, and calculated to irritate a " high-spirited " assembly into doing out of sheer anger the very thing which it ought not to do. That danger was avoided ; the bill was read a second time, in obedience to the declared wishes of the nation, and everyone rejoiced that a conflict between the two Houses had been avoided. But it was too early for whistling. We were not yet out of the wood. The Lords affirmed the prin ciple of the bill, and then proceeded to stultify it by mangling its clauses. It was sent back to the Lower House in such a shape that even Conservative M.P.'s did not venture to divide upon the chief alteration effected by their friends in the Upper House. Utterly befooled and misled by the " leading" jour nal, these had inserted a provision which scarcely a single member of the House of Commons could be got to uphold. At the same time it was given out on all hands by their own organs that even if the Lords gave way on this point of concurrent endowment, they would insist upon others, of which one, at all events, was wholly inadmissible. It was under these circumstances that Mr. BRIGHT wrote his second letter. The situation had become very much worse; the Lords had shown themselves utterly unable to comprehend the position, had proved that they lived in a different THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 20, 1869. world from the nation generally, and that if they yielded at all—which they averred they would not— submission would be due rather to fear than to conviction. Yet Mr. BRIGHT'S letter was mild and gentlemanly. Lord GRANVILLE himself, who has been so often called upon to explain away his col league's expressions, could not have written more blandly. There is in this second epistle none of the scarcely-concealed satisfaction that the Lords are making fools of themselves which there was in the first. There are no threats of what will happen. It is in sorrow that the great Minister views the proceedings of the Peers. "It is (he says) a grief to me that the House of Lords does not more clearly comprehend the wishes and interests of the country. To me it seems of the first ;importance that true harmony should be esta blished between the two branches of the Legislature." Wise words these, and we sincerely trust that they will not be without effect. We should not care to have instead of them words of the kind which were current at Blackheath on Saturday afternoon, when things were said of the Peers which they would not care to hear, and which the morning papers, no doubt wisely, suppress. PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. MONDAY. The Emperor, after weakening the good effect of hie concessions by choosing a meaningless Ministry of the old materials, has finally destroyed that good effect by his treatment of the Corps L6gislatif. It has been determined to continue the prorogation. That this decision will have the worst possible effect there cannot be the least doubt. So far as I have been able to ascertain this procedure has given general dissatisfaction. Every where is the Emperor's determination condemned. The prorogation of the Corps Ltislatif after the reforms were announced caused great indignation. The verification of the elections was not complete, and fifty-five deputies whose seats were to be contested were left in painful uncertainty. Moreover, as the decree of prorogation was published in the Journal Officicl before it was announced in Parliament, the Chamber thought itself disrespectfully treated. liut there was then, at any rate, the excuse that a Ministry was being formed, and that some inconvenience would be the result of debates without Ministers. This inconvenience, however, can el7list no longer. The Ministry is formed. The cause of the prorogation is no longer ope rative. Why, then, refuse to reconvene the Cham ber, and allow it tó finish the work of confirming or annulling the contested seats ? The only possible plea that can present itself is that the Emperor desires no manifes tation of opinion from the Corps Ltigislatif whilst the Senate is engaged in discussing the reforms. If the Senate were to curtail the concessions in any way, no doubt the Lower House would manage by some means to get up a troublesome debate on the subject. it would have no power to do so ; but the ingenuity of Frenchmen in evading the law is great. To avoid this the Emperor continues the prorogation. I fear that to avoid one evil he has decided to incur a greater. The exasperation here is intense. The Sovereign is accused of promising the country Reform, and yet of continuing the exercise of his arbitrary will without the slightest abate ment. A commission has been making inquiries as to the pro bable time required to complete the validation of the elections. It was determined that at least twenty days would be needed for that purpose. Hence the continu ance of the prorogation ; for if the Corps L6gislatif sat twenty days, the session would not terminate before that of the Senate began. The latter body is convened for the 2nd of August. The funds have gone down, and Paris is a prey to much agitation. There is, however, in some quarters a hope that the Emperor will alter his mind, and that the Chamber will yet be gathered together. The nomination of Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne to the post of Foreign Minister was due in great measure to the influence of the Empress. The Prince is well known to be intimately connected with the Catholic party, and his entry into the Ministry cannot but be regarded as a mani festo in favour of the status quo at Rome. It is even thought that the question which the Catholic party in the Corps L6gislatif proposed to submit touching the occupa tion by the French troops will now be abandoned. The Prince is only 46 years of age. The Tenips gives an account of the doings of M. Bourbeau and M. Alfred Le Roux, the two new Ministers who have seats in the Corps L6gislatif. It shews that every Imperialist measure of late years—Mexico, the military laws, &c.—has received their support ; every Liberal motion their opposition. What are *e to expect from such men ? it asks. As the four Republicans who have been elected twice all choose for the departments, there will be another con test in Paris. Electioneering has already co menced. For the circumscription left vacant by M. Picard's elec tion fur Montpellier—very reluctant he was to give 111) Paris—six candidates have presented themselves. The Left holds its meetings every day. Yesterday it bad a banquet, at which "secret resolutions" were taken. These frequent meetings are the cause of some little dis quietude. An amusing story of a mysterious package is related by she papers. Two men were observed to throw a basket into the Seine. A man who saw thehi fished up the basket, opened it, and found it filled with fragments of flesh. A horrible murder had clearly been com mitted. The men who had thrown the basket into the river did so very cautiously, as if desirous of not being seen. The finder took his prize to the police, who clearly perceived that part of the remains was a human leg. A medical man was of opinion that the contents of the basket were pieces of human flesh. Further inquiry, however, revealed that the horrible murder had been perpetrated on the person of a fine bear, and that the basket contained one of the legs. It had been delayed by the railway com pany in transmission and spoilt. The owner refused to take it, and it was thrown into the river. THE FLYING SQUADRON. A correspondent of the Evening Standard, writing from on board the Liffey, Madeira, July 2, describes the cruise of the Flying Squadron up to that port.- After referring to the misadventure which happened to the Barossa just as the squadron was leaving Devonport, the correspondent goes on to narrate their further progress. The first signal made was to rendezvous seven miles south-west of the Eddystone ; but the winds were so light that it was past noon of June 19 before the squadron had taken up their stations. The Scylla shewed herself by far the fleetest ship ; the Liffey came next ; the Liverpool and the Bristol were about equal ; the Endymion was the slowest. Towards evening the wind freshened up from the north-west, and the vessels bowled along at six knots an hour. On Sunday, 20th, the vessels were off Ushant. The routine with regard to sail drill was carried out on Monday, 21st, and all hands were very glad when the dinner pendant released them from their toils. On Tuesday, several boating excursions were caused through a temporary change of naval instructors for the examination of the midship men under their charge. The Bay of Biscay was now in full roll. Nevertheless on Wednesday, the 23rd, Admiral }lornby inspected the Liffey, coming on board under circumstances of wind and sea that would have deterred any but the most energetic of young admirals. June 26 saw the wind in the south-west, and by noon the Liffey was 2241 miles from Madeira. The heat was now very oppressive, and the hot wind made the very small allow ance of five quarts of water a day for drinking, washing, and shaving a serious trial. Under these circumstances a cruise of two or three years lost a good deal of its romance for the young officers, and the elder ones reckoned that the small sum of 3s. a day expended in coals would relieve all this distress, as one ton of coals giVes 2,000 gallons of water. On the 29th the vessels found themselves 140 miles from Madeira, and baffling winds com pelled them to retrace a portion of their way. It was not till Wednesday that they sighted and passed the beautiful island of Santo Porto, 30 miles north of Madeira; but at:6.30 all the ships were hove to, as all the captains and commanders were invited to dine with Admiral Hornby, on board the Liverpool. While at dinner the homeward-bound African mail steamed up along side of us to get the mails, but, alas ! none were ready. The flagship, however, detained her sufficiently long to send home some letters. On July 1 "the ships were tan talised by a near view of the land, but as they lay be calmed, with but distant prospects of anchoring before evening, it was the reverse of agreeable ; while native boats, which hovered about, were tempting in their offers of transporting us to the shore." THE VICARAGE OF DONCASTER.—MC Arch bishop of York has offered his vicarage of Doncaster, vacant by the nomination of the Roy. Dr. Vaughan to the Mastership of the Temple, to the Rev. A. W. Thera!, M.A., Prebendary of the York Cathedral and chaplain to the Archbishop. Mr. Thorold has declined the appoint ment, preferring to retain the ministry of Curzon Chapel, Mayfair, to which 111 was presented a few months since by Earl Howe. DEATH OF THE BIZOTHvR OF PIUS IX.—A com munication from ilome states that the Pope continues to enjoy good health, but that he was much affected by the news of his brother's death, who has just expired at Sini gaglia in consequence of a fall. lie was titled Count Gabriel Mastai Ferretti, was 90 years of age, and the head of his Holiness's family. THE IZOYAL ;AGRICULTURAL SHOW. The Royal Agricultural Show opened at Manchester yesterday. On Saturday several awards of prizes for implements were made. In the first class, that of mowing machines, the first prize was won by Messrs. Hornby and Sons for their two-horse Paragon grass-mower. There was no one-horse machine worthy of a prize. For reaping machines, Messrs. Samuelson, of Banbury, won the first place, with a combined reaper and mower. The best hay-snaking machines are adjudged to have been produced by Messrs. Nicholson, of Newark, to whom £l6 is awarded. Messrs. Ransome, Sims, and Head, of Ipswich, have the best horse-rakes ; Messrs. W. Croaskill and Sons, of Beverley, the best pair horse waggons. Messrs. Mayes and Sons carry away the prizes for the best single and two-horse carts ; for market carts, the Beverley Iron and Waggon Company. A GRW UL T URA L PROSPEC 7S. The Mt - wild has the following in its review of the Britids Corn Trade :—" A week of fine, dry, hot weather Las further improved harvest pros pects, and has engendered the belief that the wheat crop will yet prove snore abundant than was recently anticipated. Competent authorities, however, whilst fully allowing the benefit derived from the pre vailing fine weather, agree in stating that the yield will be very variable. On light soils it is expected that the crop will be a poor one, but on strong clay lands, well garnered, a heavy yield is looked for. Taken altogether the crop in our opinion will be under the average. The wheat ears are now fast filling, and a change of colour is noticeable in the landscape; but it will probably be the middle of August before any quantity is brought to market. Last year new wheat was first offered at Mark lane on the 20th of July. Barley and oats look pro mising, and beans, as well as peas, are turning out well. Hay harvesting has been brought to a close in most of the Midland counties. The late heavy rains had pro moted a luxuriant growth of grass, and the weather having opportunely become settled, a heavy crop has been secured in excellent condition." Wheat tended down ward in value on Monday. COMPULSORY VACCINATION, The subject of vaccination was raised in two metropoli tan courts on Monday. At the Thames Police-court a woman was summoned for refusing to have her child vaccinated. The child was young and healthy. The mother, who lived in the house of a quack, and seems to have been educated by him to do as she had done, said that no consideration on earth would induce her to consent to the vaccination. She believed it was of no use whatever, and had destroyed more children than it had saved. Her child was in good health, and she wished it to continue so. The magistrate might, if he pleased, make the order, but she would not obey it. She had lived in a house in which there were ten children attacked with the smallpox. Nine recovered, and among them one who had not been vaccinated. One of those vaccinated died, and the state in which it was after vaccination was most frightful. Mr. Benson said that medical and scientific authorities in all countries approved of vaccination, and its use had saved millions of lives. The most enlightened Govern ments had made the obligation of vaccinating children compulsory. What the defendant had said about ten children being attacked in one house with smallpox proved the necessity of resorting to vaccination as an antidote against the disease. He must make an order for the child to be vaccinated within fourteen days, and if his order was not carried out, there would be a penalty inflicted, and another order would be made. The defendant said she would never allow her child to be vaccinated. Dr. Lankester, the Middlesex coroner, had also a vaccina tion case before him on the same day. A child who had been vaccinated died from erysipelas produced by impure vaccine having been introduced into its arm. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical evidence. In the course of the inquiry several doctors said that they had never met with a fatal case before. It was also stated of 1,600 patients admitted into the Small pox Hospital, 1,300 had been previously vaccinated ; but those who had been vaccinated received the disease (which only came once in a lifetime) in a very mild form --it was modified, and less severe in those successfully vaccinated ; 30 out of every 100 were susceptible and liable to smallpox if exposed to it, but it would not be fatal.

The 1 says :—We believe we are correct in announcing flint Viscount Conrtenay, M.P. for - East Devon, lins placed his resignation in the hands of his election corn to be putlished at their discretion. It will probably be issued in a few days. Mr. Mldstone's letter on concurrent endowment was written to the Independebt Orange Asscciation of Ulster. The Gide publishes with much prominence letters from Belfast which state that the said association is a myth, and the Premier has teen hoaxed. A singular case of suicide is reported from Notting ham. An old lady of property, of 75 years of age, who re cently erected a large church in the town, got a cabman to drive her into the country, made her way to the canal and drowned herself. No cause is given. A sad accident at a 11;g1iland prize meeting in con nection with athletic sports has happened at Coupar-Angus. The grand stand gave way and sent all its occupants to the ground amidst great confusion. Several persons were most seriously injured, one so ladly that he died soon after. A Dublin corre: poi - Aleut telegraphs that the Board of Trinity College, Dublin, are at present considering the course which should bo taken with regard to Mr. Fawcett's motion on University education, and it is said that they in tend prolosing of their cwn accord a liberal scheme to meet Mr. Fawcett's views. Dr. Jenner, the Bishop of Dunedin, who has been sent home from the diocese to which he was consecrated by the A:chbnop of Canterbury, by the want of sympathy with Lis ritualiseic views bhewn by the members of his diocese, will Fro' ably return to Ws vlcarvge of Presto; Kent. which ho formerly held. A street preacher, a " converted navvy," was preaching to a largo crowd at Chatham a day or two back, and had just concluded his sermon with the word "Amen," when ho staggered, fell, and was picked up dead. An in quest has teen held, and the doctor stated that be died from heart disease. The jury returned a verdict accordingly. The Leeds Mercury states that the Prince of Wales intends to make a rather long stay in Yorkshire early in De cemter. One object of his Ro3 al Highness is to partici po.to in the sport of the York and Ainsty, and other well known Yorkshire packs. The Prince will bring with him his own hunting stud, and his stay is expected to extend over a fortnight or three weeks. Three carters were charged at Manchester on Saturday with intimidating a fellow• workmen. It seemed that the complainant was working after two o'clock on Sa turday, and the defendants came up and told him that if he did not leave off he must take what would follow. The magistrate Lefore whom the case was heard did not think that the words came within the meaning of the Act. DEPEN DENCE UPON CIRCUMSTANCES. The preacher at the Chapel Royal, Savoy, recently alluded to the dissensions of the present day, and told a story on the authority of John Henry Newman. A naval chaplain, he said, who had long been out of the reach of English theological discussion, was eagerly asked on his return home by a partisan whether his floating chapel was High Church or Low Church. "'That," said the chaplain, " entirely depends on the tide." THE INTERNATIONAL ROWING MATCH.—It has been arranged that this interesting match shall be rowed over the well-known Oxford and Cambridge course on Saturday, the 31st inst. After a week's preliminary trials, five Oxonians and a coxswain from whom the competitors against the Americans will be finally chosen have got into regular training. The gentlemen in training are the following :—Mr. F. Willan, 1 ; Mr. A. C. Yarborough, ; Mr. J. C, Tina , (President of the Oxford University Boat Club), 3 ; Mr. S. D. Darbishire, 4 ; Mr. W. S. Woodhouse, 5 ; Mr. J. H. Hall, coxswain. FACES MEN Low.. —What face is that which appeals to the sense of beauty of the majority of men? Not the plump inanity of the coloured lithograph. Not the buxom country lass, of which poets sing, but whom poets do not marry. Not the pinky doll of the book of fashions. Men love long eyelashes, because they seem to hide a secret. Men love those eyes which are transparent and yet deep, because there lies in them something of the unknown and the discoverable ;. and so men love faces that tell stories, and are coy, confiding, tantalising, with vague and grand emotional possibilities hidden somewhere. THE NOTTING II A ELECTION PETITION.--AN IsTELEsTrxo POINT. -An interesting question in re election petitions was decided by Mr. Baron 1:m111w - ell on Monday. The hearing of th e Notting ham election petition "Torr and others v. Seely. jun.," came before bins at Chambers in reference to an appli cation on the part of the sitting men:ber for particulars of the a:legstions. The case was appointed to be beard on the 2D.h instant 1.,c0r0 Mr. Baron Martin at Nottingham. Mr. Hoskins said there was some difficulty in the matter, as all the election judges were absent. Mr. Baron Bramwell considered that he Lad power to hear such an application in the absence of the election judges, and that one of the now rules applied to the case. GETTIAG LYSIDE THE HOUSE, One clay last week, says the Birmingham Gazette, a Birmingham artisan—connected with the glass trade, as we are informed—was in London, and being anxious to see what the House of Commons was like, and being anxious also to hear a discussion on trades union matters, he repaired to Westminster, fully resolved to procure admis sion to " the first assembly." Mr. B—, as we shall call the visitor, sauntered up to a policeman—and here we leave him to tell his own story : "Is Dixon in the House ?" "Don't know," said the officer. "I saw him a few minutes ago. He was in, but I think he's gone out." "Muntz?" "Don't know ; haven't seen Muntz." "Bright—is he in?" " Oh, yes," said the policeman, after an interview with another official, " Bright's there on the Treasury Bench." "Would you tell him I want to Eee him?" was the next remark of our Birmingham visitor, whose appearance unmistakeably indicated that he was one of the genuine working class sort. " Can't do that," said the officer. "Send your eard." The Birmingham artisan produced a card on which was his name. He then on the back wrote the name of "Mr. John Bright." The card was "passed" to Mr. Bright, who straightway left his place, and "come out." Our informant goes on: " Seeing Bright coming forrara out of the doore, I walks up to him, and he says, says he, `ls this from you!' " ' Yes,' says I. " ' May I ask what youwant ?' says Bright, quite gentle manlike. " ' To go inside,' says I. " 014' says he, "I think I can manage that.' After a while he calls me, and he says, go up thar.' This was up a flight of stairs. I goes up, and I was in the House. There was three (?) Cabinet Ministers there—Forster, Bruce, and Bright. Lord John Manners was a talking.' "As for the ' House' I don't think much on it. It is not by no means the place I should ha' thought it was." Asking the visitor if he were not impressed with the courtesy and attention of Mr. Bright, he replied : " Ah! but I should have sent for Lord John Manners, or Glad. stone for that matter. I only wish I'd been up there this week, I'd been able to sit it out better this hot weather than some of those old rich nobs." We have given the visitor's rough but honest version of the attention shewn to him, not only by Mr. Bright, but, more wonderful still, by the officials of the House. THE LORDS, THE COMMONS, AND THE PEOPLE. The Conservative papers recently called special atten tion to the number of meetings against the Irish Church Bill. They published a list of some eighty meetings. There was Preston with (using the numbers as claimed) 8,000 present ; Sheffield, 3,000 present; Leeds, 6,000 present ; Manchester, 250,000 present ; Crystal Palace, 20,000 present ; Bradford, 6,000 present ; Liverpool, 30,000 present, &c., &c. These meetings, it must be observed, have been held since the Irish Church Bill has been brought in. But the Liberal papers, in reply, publish a list of some sixty places which have protested against the Lords' amend ments. These amendments have only been before the country for a comparatively short time. Nevertheless it is pointed out that there have been petitions, memorials and protests sent to Mr. Gladstone from the Presbyteries of the United Presbyterian Church at Edinburgh, Glas gow, and Berwick ; from the General Assemblies of Ireland ; the Presbyterian Synod of Londonderry ; the Wesleyan Conferences in London, Plymouth, and Cork ; the Protestant Nonconformists of London ; the Dissenters of three denominations in London and its environs ; from the London Baptist Association, from the Baptist Union of the United Kingdom, the Scottish Re formation Society, the Congregations of Coventry, the English Baptist Association of Carmarthen anl Glamor gan, the Associated Baptist Churches of Kent and Sussex, the Congregational Unions of Finsbury and of Surrey, the Nonconformist ministers of Norwich, Liverpool, Leigh ton Buzzard and Walsall, and from the Wesleyan Metho dist Society of St. Neots. Several meetings took place on Monday. One at Bristol was addressed by Mr. Morley, M.P., and Mr. Marling, M.P. Resolution were adopted expressing satisfaction with the determination of the Government to resist the amendments, and pledging the meeting to give Mr. Gladstone their support. A memorial to the House of Commons was adopted in accordance with these resolu tions. At Oxford also a meeting of the citizens was held in the Town Hall, and there was a very large attendance. The Rev. J. E. T. Rogers, late Professor of Political Economy at Oxford, in an able and energetic speech, in which he paid the highest possible compliments to Mr. Gladstone, proposed the following resolution, carried amidst the greatest enthusiasm :—" That this meeting views with satisfaction the resolute manner in which her Majesty's Government have met the amendments inserted into the Irish Church Bill by the House of Lords, and entertains a strong impression that their lordships will recognise the strength with which the nation has de clared against any new endowment of churches by public money." A meeting held at Lambeth, presided over by Mr. A. M'A rthur, and addressed by the Lord Mayor and Mr. Il'Arthur (members for the borough), and by Mr. New man Hall, passed a similar resolution, and the following one :—"'That, in the event of prolonged resistance by the Lords to the Irish Church Bill, the members for the borough be requested to promote a measure that will cause an inquiry to be made as to the course pursued by the Upper House during the last fifty years on the vari ous questions affecting the liberties and progress of the people." A meeting at Chelsea was addressed by the borough members, Sir Charles Dilke and Sir Henry Hoare.— Sir Charles Dilke, M.P., said he had never been one of those who pretended that the bill was all that could he wished. It gave far too much to the Church,but of this he said nothing, because he had voted for the clauses in which the thing was done. Against the "financial puzzle" clause he had voted, and he had never given a vote with greater pleasure. In accordance with that which he knew to be the feeling of representative Liberal electors of all classes in Chelsea he had also voted against the Government upon the question of the surplus. Mr. Bright said that the Government bill gave the surplus to the poor and the afflicted. He did not know whether the landlords were poor and afflicted, because the Government proposal was to give the surplus to the landlords.—Sir H. Hoare, while agreeing with this, thought the bill ought to be got out of the way as soon as possible. A resolution in favour of getting the matter settled was passed. The Vigilance Committee of the Reform League heat a meeting to consider the propriety of holding a meeting in Hyde Park. Several of the speakers denounced the House of Lords as an institution which ought to be swept away. Many thought a meeting ought to be held nearer the House than Hyde Park ; but it was decided to adopt the latter place. The meeting is to be held only in case the Lords refuse to agree to the Commons' re-amend ments. It is fixed for Monday week. A meeting on the other side was held at Liverpool. The Standard says there were 15,000 present; but the Liver pool Courier, a Conservative paper, puts the number down as 8,000, and another computation is that not more than 10,000 were at any time at the meeting. It was held in front of St. George's Hall. It was called "to adopt a petition to the House of Lords, praying their lordships to stand firm to their amendments as sent to the Commons, with the exception of the concurrent endowment clause." The speaker denounced the Irish Church Bill, Mr. Gladstone, and the Government, and approved the Irish Establishment, the action of the House of Lords (with the exception of its amendment of concurrent endowment) and the determination of the Conservative party, as led by Mr. Disraeli and Lord Cairns, to have nothing to do with levelling up. A Mr. Joseph Ball took the chair, and was supported by some clergymen and a Wesleyan minister. Very strong language was used by some of the orators. The petition adopted was to the effect that concurrent endowment was a " great curse," inasmuch as " history and experience are alike teachers that Popery has been a curse to every nation or country wherever it has had full scope and been predominant ; it raises the creature above the Creator, and gives a practical lie to the glorious Gospel, which declares there is only one me diator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus. With regard to the remainder of the amendments pro posed and carried by your lordships, we believe (the memorial went on to say) the country on the whole approve of them,and that they, taken in connection with the bill, chew mature judgment founded on a desire to act honestly and becoming the character which your lordships' holies has un every great occasion merited. We therefore pray your lordships to stand firm to them.' The three Shafield masons who were sentenced 2t Leeds ussizcs to haprLotaneut for "pieltetieg" hav© beep liberated.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. REMARKABLE SENTENCE.—James Dillon, described a 5 an agent, of No. 29, Cirencester-street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Charles Morrison, who called himself a lodging-house keeper, of No. 4, lig er G rafton-street. The complainant said that he had a few words with the defendant, who up with his fist and struck him in t he mouth, loosing one of his teeth. The defendant denied striking the complainant, but told the complainant that he did not want to have and" thing to say to a brothel keeper, and that the complainant persisting in annoying him he pushed him, and he came against a cab and hurt his face. ; a nt Mr Tyrwhitt asked what sort of house the complai nant kept. Was it a brothel ? Inspector Hubbard, of the E division, said it was. Welsh, the office keeper, said that a little time.ago he was sent to the house by Mr. Knox to make some in quiries, a young lady from Oxford having been decoy'uu, to the house having made a complaint at tho court that she had been compelled to buy different article° to the amount of nearly £lOO by the com plainant and his wife, and that they had o° , ll seized them for pretended rent.
