Chichester Fortescue. After describing the position of, the Church, the right hon. gentleman went on to notice the objections which had been made against its disesta-' blishment. The two principal reasons (he said), or rather the two principal cries, which were used against them he might describe as the " No-Popery" cry and the "Church in danger" cry. As to the " No-Popery" cry, he wanted to know what it meant. If it meant that we ourselves were devoted to the principles of the Reformation, and would maintain those principles for ourselves by all due and proper means, then he had not a word to say against the cry, and he would join in it himself. But it meant no such a thing, in the mouth of our political opponents. (Hear, hear.) If it meant, again, that we were determined to maintain our just rights of every kind, and the just rights of our Protes tant fellow-countrymen in Ireland, he was ready to join in maintaining those just rights against any quarter, whether Papal or otherwise. But he did not mean that, and it was difficult to see any rational way of interpreting the meaning of it. It, ,however, m eant t h at we must not do justice to our fellow-countrymen in Ireland because they were Roman Catholics. It meant nothing but a blind and unreasoning prejudice, closing men's eyes to the truth, and preventing them from seeing the facts of the case as they really were, and faithfully dischargingtheir duty. As to their cry of " Church in danger," he was inclined to take exception to it, and he made a protest against the cir from the very first. He ventured to say in their presence that, whether the Church was in danger or not, they had no right to defend it by such means. He said they had no right in the fancied interests of their Establish.. meat to impose upon what was in fact another country an Establishment which they repudiated. The question was not whether we were to have an Esta' blishment here ; that question did not arise at all, The questiOn was whether there was to be an Establishment in a separate though a sister nation, viz., Ireland—an Esta, blishment which was maintained_ there contrary to the wishes and feelings of the great majority of its people. He wished every voter to remember, when he:came to give his vote on this great question, that the question for him to decide was not whether he would have an established religion in his own country, but whether he should impose an Establishment on another country contrary to the wishes and feelings of the people. Let every voter, every one who heard him that night, every one whom his words could reach—he did not care how ardent a friend and adherent of the Established Church he might be—let him weigh the matter in this way, and do to Ireland "as he would be done by," and if there were danger to the Established Church here in this controversy, the friends of the Church might be assured that that danger would be seriously increased by prolonging a controversy like the present, by refusing to do justice to the people of Ireland, and by throwing upon the English Church the responsi bility of an Establishment which was totally different from her own, and whatever danger there might be would be best removed by a just and complete settlement of the Irish question. 311JTUAL LOAN FUND ASSOCIATION (Incorporated by Act of Parliament, 1859), 14, RUSSELL-STREET, COVENT-GARDEN, LONDON, ADVANCES MONEY upon personal security, Bills of Sale, Free hold or Leasehold Property, for one, two, or three years, repay able We e kl y, mont hl y, or quarterly.

REVERDY JOHNSON IN LEEDS. Yesterday the Hon. Reverdy Johnson, the new Minister for the United States' Government, who has recently arrived in this country, visited the metropolis of the West Riding. He had been stay ing with Lord Houghton, at Fryston-hall, and Lord and Lady Houghton, Sir A. Monck, and other distinguished persons, accompanied his Ex cellency from Fryston-hall to Leeds. They reached that town about one o'clock, and were met at the Wellington Station by Sir Andrew and Lady Fair bairn (the Mayor and Mayoress.) Twenty-two gentlemen of the Council of the Leeds Chamber of Commerce were also present to welcome the illus trious American. The Mayor conveyed him in his carriage to the Town-hall, where the Town Council were assembled. Having been introduced to the corporate body and cordially welcomed by them, the Mayor presented the following address : "To lIIS EXCELLENCY THE LION. REVERDY JOHNSON, ENVOY EXTRAORDINARY AND MINISTER PLENIPOTEN TIARY FROM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO THE COURT OF ST. JAMES'S. "May it please your Excellency,—We, the Mayor, Al dermen, and burgesses of the borough of Leeds, in the county of York, desire to present to you our sincere and hearty congratulations on your arrival i❑ this country as the representative of a nation so closely allied to us as the United States, to bid you welcome to this ancient borough. "We, along with the rest of the nation, heard of your appointment as successor to Mr. Adams with the greatest satisfaction, because we believe it will tend greatly to strengthen the bonds of peace and goodwill which ought always to exist between this country and yours. We hope that the results of your mission here may bo such as will be productive of happiness to yourself, satisfaction to the great empire you represent, and promote the national pros_ polity of the two kindred races of the United States and Great Britain." ths EXCELLENCY replied as follows :--Mr. May or and Gentlemen,—The commission conferred upon I me by my Government will be productive to myself, I have no doubt, of that happiness which so far has attended it. From the ►noment I landed upon your shores up to the present time the greatest possible kindness has been extended to me, very much to ►ey delight and gratification. My country will conside► it an earnest of the friendly feelings you have for them that all her Majesty's subjects, I am glad not only to believe, but to know, entertain towards me so gracious a feeling. (Applause.) We are, in fact, but one people. (Hear, hear.) Oar dis positions are the same, our political institutions are substantially the same, our religion is the same, and, above all, as the means by which the others are bound together, our language is the same. (Hear, hear.) That language wherever spoken, whether spoken by an Englishman to an American, or by an American to an Englishman, creates at once feelings of brotherhood ; and, speaking from personal experience, from the moment I put my foot on your shores—not now for the first time--I felt that, although iu one sense I was in a foreign land, I was not a stranger. The shake of the hand reminds me of home ; the kindness with which I am met reminds me of home ; the personal simi larity I see around me reminds me of home ; and, above all, - your feelings and sentiments of political liberty, which lie so deeply and so firmly as the foundation upon which your Govern , ment rests, remind me of home. (Applause.) And I shall ever rejoice that the Government of my own country has conferred upon me the op portunity of becoming more acuaiuted with the people of England than I Could hive hoped to be if circumstances had been otherwise. There are but few differences existing now between us ; few in my judgment, and unimportant—unimportant, be cause they can be amicably adjusted—unimportant, because that amicable adjustment may be accom plished without tarnishing in the slightest degree the honour of either nation. It would be to me and to my Government a matter of the deepest re gret if in the settlement which we are about, i hope, soon to make another Government should suffer in its own opinion, or in that of the world at large. My Government will do nothing to detract from its own reputation, I know ; but I know also, and with as much certainty, that your Govern ment will do nothing which can in the slightest degree tarnish its reputation. Gentlemen, all I can do, in conclusion, is to thank you col lectively and individually for this mark of your respect, and to assure you that in my negociations with your Government it will be my earnest de:•ire —and I have every reason to believe that desire will be fulfilled --not only to maintain, but to strengthen, the friendly relations which have so long happily existed between the two nations. With my best thanks to you, Mr. Mayor, and to all present, I for a time bid you adieu. Three cheers for the United States were called for by the Mayor and given heartily, after which his Excellency - was conducted over the Town hall and to the Fine Arts Exhibition, where the Executive Committee presented him with an ad dress. In reply to the address Mr. REVERDY JOHNSON said—Ever since I have been in Leeds the few hours only of that day have been full of interest to me personally, and will also be full of interest to my countrymen when they shall hear of the proceed ings of this day. (Cheers.) It will satisfy them of what I am already satisfied of, and have been from the moment of my landing o n your shores, that the peace between England and the United States will endure for ever. (Applause.) War, as far as we are connected, in the judgment of all reflecting men, and I am satisfied it would in your own judgment —war between our Governments would be but a repetition of the civil war which has desolated our own land, for we are in fact one people, descended from a common ancestry, of which all are equally proud, and destined to accomplish the like purpose for the good and happiness of men by extending freedom throughout the world—(applause)—and if in the chances of time you should be involved in peril—if peril you can be involved in—it will be our duty, as I am sure it will be our pleasure, to stand shoulder to shoulder and resist the shock. Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, you tell me that I have been here so short a time that I am not able properly to appre ciate the magnitude of your Exhibition. I have not been so long as I could wish, and, if I am to decide it, this is not the last visit which I may have the honour to make to your town—(applause)--but I have seen enough to convince me that you are lovers of the arts—the arts the result of peace—the arts which do not involve the sacrifice of human life, but the correction of the human taste and the human ising of the human heart, and the spread, above all, of a Christian and healing resignation—(hear, hear) —and I have seen enough also to be convinced that in the manufacture of everything which contributes to the wants or elegancies of man your town is not behind any in the civilised world; and may you continue to prosper, may you push that prosperity even further by and bye than the extent to which it has already gone, and stand forth to the world as a community devoted to the arts of peace, be• cause such is the duty of Christians, and, abhorring war, because to abhor it is also the duty of Chris tians—(cheers)—and neither of us require war with each other, or with any other nation, to establish our martial character. (Hear, hear.) Upon the ocean and upon the land we have each at times illustrated our capacity for war, as well as we have illustrated the love which we entertain for peace ; and in the last campaign in which you have been en gaged, a campaign upon which you were urged by the obligation to protect your citizens, and rescue them from captivity, thus discharging the duty which every Government owes to its own citizens, you have proved again that in the arts of war, in deed, of glory on the field, in the skill of your gene rals, and in the bravery of your officers and men, you are not behind any nation in the world. (Cheers.) And the fame of the leader in the war to which I allude is as well known and as much cherished by us as he is by you. The name of Napier will be received as a " household word" in the United States, as it has already become a " household word" in England. (Applause.) It was a war conducted successfully, eminently successful; but by the observance at the same time of all the obligations of an enlightened humanity, the Gene ral ravaging nothing that he could save, desolating nothing that he could protect, but, on the contrary, paying for everything as he wanted it, and treating with the clemency which humanity dictated all who fell into his power, and at the same time, and by these means, raising to a higher pitch, if that be possible, the reputation of England for the huma nity of her soldiers. (Cheers.) After a very graceful compliment to the ladies, cheers were given for the United States, Mr. John son, and Mrs. Johnson, who was not present. To THE DIGGINGS.—The Natal Mercury adver tises a "waggon train to the Victoria goldfields," to start from Durban as soon as there is sufficient grass for the cattle, probably about the 28th of September. The charge for each passenger "right through" is ..£3O, which includes provisions. Each passenger is to be allowed luggage not exceeding 100 lb., exclusive of his gun and 51b of powder.' Arrangements are made for accommodating 100 men, to bo divided into messes of 10 each, awl as soon as 50 have taken places the contractor will engage a medical man to join the party. It is supposed that this train will be the first party from Natal to reach the diggings.

The opinion is very prevalent (the Daily News observes) that it is advantageous to reap corn before it is completely ripe, or at least that no loss is likely to accrue from early reaping. Those who advocate this course point out that the fully ripened grain is easily shaken out of the ear, and thus a certain loss is experienced. This does not happen when the grain is still soft, when also it is in a milky state, yellow, larger, and heavier. It is argued, further, that when the corn is reaped early the straw is better fitted for tho use of cattle. M. Isidore Pierre, professor of chemistry at' Caen, and well known for his important botanical and agricultural researches, has subjected the question of early reaping to a very simple and satisfactory test, with the result of shewing that the farmer commits a great mistake who reaps his corn before it has reached maturity. From the same field he cut a certain quantity of ears of corn on the 6th, 11th, 15th, 20th, and 25th of July in the present year, extending his operations on each occasion over an equal space of ground. On the 6th the corn was rapidly increasing, on the 25th it was perfectly ripe, and was, in fact, being reaped in the usual course. M. Pierre carefully dried the corn he had thus collected, and then compared the several lots by weight. The result was remarkable. The weight of the corn reaped on the 6th was little more than half that of the corn reaped on the 25th, the exact proportion being 15 to 27. The corn reaped on the other days exhibited a progressive increase of weight as the date of reaping was later and later. M. Isidore Pierre calculates from the results of his experiment that during the three weeks preceding the arrival of the corn at a state of perfect maturity, the crop experiences a daily increase of one hectolitre per hectare, the weight of a hectolitre being one kilogramme. Hence, for every day by which the date of reaping precedes the date at which the corn arrives at perfect maturity, the farmer suffers a loss of about twenty francs per hectare. Since a hectare contains about two acres and a half (more exactly 2.471 acres), it follows from M. Pierre's calculations that the loss for every day corn is reaped earlier than the full period of maturity is nearly 7s. per acre. But this is not the only disadvantage which results from early reaping. During the last few days before the corn reaches a state of perfect maturity, important chemical changes are taking place in the state of the grain. These changes are of such a character as to render the corn day by day better fitted for our use. Grain which has not become perfectly ripe is deficient in nitrogenous substance and phosphoric acid, and less able, therefore, to serve as a heat-supplier and flesh-former. Attention is also drawn to certain important conclusions respecting the cultivation of wheat experimentally esta blished by Professor Church. He found that an average increase of about thirteen shillings per acre in the return may be obtained by submitting the seed-wheat to a process of selection, founded on the following observed facts :—First, seed-wheat of the highest specifio gravity produces seed-wheat of similar quality; secondly, seed-wheat of the highest specific gravity yields the largest amount - of dressed corn ; thirdly, seed-wheat of medium specific gravity generally gives the largest number of ears, but the ears are poorer than those from seed-wheat of higher specific gravity ; fourthly, seed-wheat of medium specific gravity generally produces the largest number of fruiting plants ; and, fifthly, seed-wheat of a less specific gravity than 1.247 (the specific gravity of water being 1) are of very little value, yielding on an average only 34.41 b. of dressed corn for every 100 lb. yielded by seed of the highest specific gravity. Professor Church pointed out that a very high standard of specific gravity is not required to secure the extra return ; the exclusion of about 20 per cent. of the seed-wheat would in general be sufficient for the purpose, nor would the process of selec• tion be difficult or expensive. Professor Church also pointed out that "an acclimatised seed-wheat yields a heavier crop than wheat grown under different conditions of climate and soil." SEVENTY-SEVEN SHEEP KILLED DY LIGHT. NING. —On Sunday night last a terrific thunderstorm passed over the centre of Wiltshire, and on Cheverell Hill 77 sheep, the property of Mr. Robert Hooper, were killed and three sheep were wounded. FIRE AT A SHEFFIELD MUSIC HALL—On Monday evening part of the scenery at the Pavilion Music Hall, Sheffield, caught fire during the performances. A panic at once ensued among the audience, and a rush was made for the entrance. Fortunately nobody was injured, and the fire was extinguished after causing only slight damage. On Tuesday morning Mr. Slater, of the firm of Slater Brunt, and Co., Borussia Steel Works, Shoreham-street, was shot by his partner, Mr. Brunt, in the office, where a dispute would seem to have arisen between them. Mr. Bruut fired a pistol loaded with shot at Mr. Slater, at threo or four yards' distance. The pfstol was aimed obliquely, or the effect must have been fatal. As it was, most of the shots entered the wall behind Mr. Slater, but he was badly wounded. Immediately after firing Mr. Brunt gave himself up to the police. For some time past ho has been suffering from cerebral and nervous excitement aris ing from over-application to business. A short time ago ho made an attempt on his life; up to this time he was a preacher among the Methodists. Ho is stated to be a man of very temperate habits—indeed a teetotaller. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO SWITZERLAND.--An inha bitant of Switzerland writes to the Salat Public of Lyons in these words :—" An article appeared some days past in several Paris journals mentioning that Queen Victoria felt much annoyed during her stay at Lucerne, it consequence of the uproar caused near her Majesty's villa by persons playing at skittle; and this, too, on a Sunday. The paragraph added that the Queen's request to put a stop to the noise was not attended to. All this account is completely erroneous. I wrote to Lucerre make inquiries on the subject, and have just learned front a sure source, namely, M. Wilier, proprietor of the villa in which her Majesty remained, that every regar due to her rank was ahewn, and that on the Sundays especially great tranquillity reigned in the neighbourhoei of the royal residence, not broken by the sounds of anji game whatever. This declaration of my correspondent has been confirmed by a countryman who was at Lucerne during the Queen's sojourn.
