Before the victorious General had set foot in England the Common Council had determined upon their gift and its form of presen tation, and yesterday Baron NAPIER of Magdala was invited to the Guildhall to receive the honorary freedom of the City of Loudon, together with a sword of the value of 200 guineas, as a token of the admiration felt for the fortitude, skill, energy, and promptitude displayed by him in bringing the Abyssinian war to a successful and brilliant close All due honour was paid to the ceremonial, and all the chief dignitaries of the City were present, as well as many visitors from the west. When Lord NAPIER arrived he was received with the greatest enthusiasm, both within and without the Hall, the court rising to receive him. After the formal cere mony had been gone through, the Chamberlain, Mr. BENJAMIN SCOTT, made an interesting and appro priate address. The Abyssinian war, he re marked, was in many ways exceptional of its kind. Unusual and apparently incongruous ele ments contributed harmoniously to the result. The army, English as well as Indian, the navy, and the engineers were alike represented. Following the example of old Rome in her days of conquest tributaries were used as auxiliaries. Three con tinents furnished their respective contingents. The soldiers of Europe, Mahommedans and Ilindoos of Asia, as well as African mule-drivers, made up the motley array which acted with as much unanimity as gallantry." The natural difficulties of the under taking, too, rendered it exceptional in its nature. A port was constructed, a base ,of supply formed, a railway and telegraph laid down, two chains of mountains surmounted, and water sought for at every post along the "bridge of 400 miles" which, in Lord NAPIER'S own words, " the soldier constructed as he passed on to victory." The Chamberlain, after congratulating the General not less on the humanity, the discipline, and the un failing good conduct of his troops than on their military successes, concluded an eloquent address by presenting to Lord NAPIER the copy of the re cord. The General, in acknowledging the honour dole him, was careful, as he invariably is, to share it with his whole force.

Darma, a very religious prince, son of Kasinwo, an Indian King, and the twenty-eighth descendant of Tiaka, a negro monarch (1023 8.c.) landed in China in the year A.D. 510. Probably a Brahmin or a Buddhist of great austerity, he employed all his care to diffuse a sense of religion, and for this purpose denied himself rest, sleep, and relaxation. lie lived in the open air, and devoted himself day and night to prayer and contemplation of the nature and beneficence of God, aiming at eventual absorption into the Divine Essence when purified by long prayer, fast, and vigil. Flesh is flesh, however. After several years, worn out by want of food and sleep, Darma the great and good, involuntarily closed his eyes, and after that slept soundly, reckless of anything but rest. Be fore dawn he awoke, full of sorrow and despair at having thus broken his vow,snatched up a knife and cut off both his offending eyelids. When it grew light, he discovered that two beautiful shrubs had grown from them, and eating some of the leaves, he was presently filled with new joy, courage, and strength to pursue his holy medi tations. The new plant was the tea plant, and Darma recommended the use of it to his disciples and followers. Kempfer gives a portrait of this Chinese and Japanese saint, at whose feet there is already a reed to indicate that he had traversed seas and rivers, and had come from afar. The le gend seems to prove that from the earliest times tea was known among students and austere people a 3 a dispeller of drowsiness. Its first use was no doubt accidental, as was that of coffee, the virtues of which, the Arab legend says, were dis covered by some goats who had browsed on leaves of the coffee plant, and became unusually lively after their meal. It is a singular fact, too, that Jesuit writers who visited China in the reign of James the First expressly state that they used the herb tea common among t'►e Chinese, and found that it kept their eyes open, and lessened the fatigue of writing sermons and hearing absolutions that lasted late into the night.

REMARKs. Not much change has occurred in atmospherical pressure since yesterday. In the south of England some diminution is shewn since last evening, but readings at southern stations are generally high and uniform. Temperature is higher in the N. a n d W . Winds are still very light and var iable, with a continuance of calm in the south-west of England. Fog has prevailed on the west coast of Ireland, and the weather is fine on the Channel coast, Notwithstanding the result of the Wiirtemherg elections the project of a South German Confederation does not find general favour amongst the small States. The military union, which might have led to a further amalgamation of interests, has fallen through. Wiirtemberg and Bavaria were both favourable to a conference for the purpose of settling preliminaries, and would have commenced with the joint work of foltifyil g Ulm, but neither Baden nor Hessee would listen to the suggestions. The Baden Government has, in fact, published an official disclaimer. The inspiration of Prussia is not difficult to trace here. To announce "no objection " in public and utterly to frustrate the scheme in private is essentially Bismarekian. There seems no hope for these South German States, except under the wing of some powerful State with a vigorous Government, which will permit no liberties. For the last half century they have occupied a wretched posi tion in European politics—always too late, always joining the wrong side, always a benefit to the foe and an injury to the friend. The great question of the day is not the Irish Church, nor the Corrupt Practices Bill, nor the Cattle Bill, but the thermometer. Each day sees a rise of the mercury. Each day we say this is the hottest ever known, but to-morrow brings a hotter. This morning before sunrise the ther mometer marked 72 degrees, and by 8 o'clock it was over 75. A minimum of 72 is, we should think, unparalleled in English meteorology. Of course there are some very absurd statements ; for instance, that of Mr. Steward, optician to the National Rifle Association, who says that the maxi mum shade temperature yesterday was 101—a figure manifestly incredible, and, as Mr. Allnatt points out, would be insupportable even to s un-hardened Englishmen in India. The truth is, there is no shade at Wimbledon, and any reading there must be valueless. The tropical heat is beginning to tell seriously upon the public health. The Registrar• General's report shews a considerable increase in the mortality of the large towns. The mean rate for last week was 28 in London and thirteen other large towns, Dublin standing lowest with 19 and Manchester highest with 39 ; in London the rate was 27. The mean rate for all the towns has increased 5 since the beginning of June. The excess of deaths in London over the estimated average was 184. There were 37 deaths by choleraic diarrhoea, or cholera, and 340 by diarrhoea, of which all but 19 were those of children. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 70 . 7 deg., which is B's deg. above the average of the same week in 50 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 92'0 deg. on Thursday, July 16. The lowest night temperature was 52'7 deg. on Tuesday, July 14. The entire range of temperature in the week was, therefore, 39'3 deg. The maximum temperature of the air observed on Thurs day, 16th July—viz., 92'0 deg.—is a higher value than has been recorded since 18th July, 1859, when the maximum temperature was 93'0 deg. ; and the mean temperature (75'9 deg.) is higher than all other mean daily tempera. tures as far back as 16th June, 1858, whoa V*9 df . xras platilin t•) WI THE .POMSEY MEMORIALS TO LORD PALMERSTON. The ceremony of unveiling a statue to Lord Palmerston n the market-place of Romsey, and of uncovering a nemorial window at the west end of the Abbey Church, pook place on Tuesday. The proceedings of the day were )f a double character. At half-past one the mayor and nembers of the corporation in their robes, the borough magistrates, the executive committee and subscribers, ncluding the Broadlands tenantry, assembled at the town Hall, and proceeded thence, escorted by. the 11th Hants Rifle Volunteers and their band, and the Band of :he Royal Marine Artillery, to Broadlands Park. The procession next went to the Abbey Church, where there was a special service. Just before the commencement a memorial window erected to the memory of Lord Palmerston in the west end of the Abbey Church was uncovered. The window has been designed by Messrs. Clayton and Bell, to exemplify the idea of government descending from heaven to earth. After the window had been uncovered a sermon was preached by the Bishop of London, from the 3rd chapter of Ecclesiastes, verse 8 and part of verses 13 and 14 : " What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth ?" " I know that whatsoever God doeth it shall be for ever." At the conclusion of the sermon a procession was re-formed to the market-place, where the ceremony of unveiling the statue was performed. The statue, which is by Mr. Noble, is of bronze, and it represents the deceased statesman in his usual attitude whilst addressing the House of Commons. The statue, including the bronze plinth, is Bft. 10in., and the pedestal 9ft. 6in. in height. The latter is formed of Aberdeen granite, and is about 6ft. 3in. square at the base, with a polished shaft, on the front of which, in letters of gold, is inscribed "Palmerston," and at the back " Born 1784. Died 1865." The proceedings having been briefly opened by the Mayor, Lord Granville, at the request of Lord Eversley, unveiled the statue amid loud cheers. In a few well-chosen sentences, Lord Eversley, as chair man of the Memorial Committee, desired Lord Granville tc inaugurate the statue. Earl GRANVILLE : I feel it a very great privilege to be allowed to take a part in the ceremony which we have just witnessed in honour of that great statesman who within so short a time was your neighbour and your friend. It is with great sorrow for your sake, for the sake of Lord Russell, and for the sake of Mr. Gladstone, and specially for my own, that I find they are prevented from being here on this occasion. One is prevented by a severe domestic calamity, and the other by the stern requirements of parliamentary duty. (Hear, hear.) For some years before Lord Palmerston's death, as Lord Eversley has been good enough to say, I had the honour of holding political service under him. More than twenty-five years earlier I entered into official life under his auspices and under his personal superintendence. Kindness received during that long period of more than a quarter of a century unfits me to give anything like a judicial opinion of Lord Palmerston, but I think it will be with you some claim why I may make a few observations with regard to Lord Palmerston as a friend, as a political chief, and as one of the most sagacious and certainly the most popular Prime Minister that eves ruled over this great country. (Cheers.) It is a fashion among some to say that political contests and public life weaken and deaden the feelings of the heart and the warmer affections. I ask you whether they had such an effect upon Lord Palmerston— (cries of " No ")—whether such was the case with regard to his affections or to the constancy of his friendships. There is hardly one of us who, even in his business hours, has not received from him timely and considerate advice on matters of a purely private and personal character to our selves. Well do I remember, at a time when he delighted the House of Commons, at the age of nearly fourscore years, by giving an attendance to his parliamen tary duties which had never been given before by any 1 leader of that House—at a time when he was fulfilling all the duties of his high office—he found time for weeks daily to write sheets of political and social news to relieve the hours of sickness of a dear young colleague who was sinking under disease in a far and foreign land. Gentle men, it is impossible not to connect those private virtues and personal qualities with the public character of this great man. I had the honour of serving under him in the Foreign Office. I feel some difficulty in saying what I could wish with regard to the political character of Lord Palmerston. If I were to pretend to you that in a life of devotion for more than half a century to the affairs of the nation, taking in most important ses sions a leading part, that Lord Palmerston had never committed a fault in Parliament or an error of judgment, that he was never mistaken at any time with regard to home or foreign policy, I should be saying that he was more or less than a man, and should be substi tuting fulsome flattery for that language of respectful ad miration with which I wish to speak of that great man. .But this I will say of Lord Palmerston, that if ever he had faults, those faults came from the overflowing of the great qualities he possessed, and the exciting patriotism which animated every movement of his heart and mind. Lord Palmerston knew how to make concessions to change and circumstances, as all wise men know. He knew how to move in the spirit of the age, but there were some great principles he never deserted through life— namely, his passionate attachment to civil and religious liberty all over the world, his detestation of anything like religious persecution or injustice, his horror of oppression, and his perfect abhorrence of slavery in all its forms. (Cheers.) His great stimulus was that patriotic feeling to which I have already alluded, and to it he added an unbounded belief in the destinies of the country to which he belonged, and a wish to place every Englishman, collectively and individually, on a pinnacle of glory, of honour, and of advantage. (Cheers.) On that sad day when all that was great and distinguished in England met in that old and historical abbey on the banks of the Thames to pay a last mark of respect to the statesman who had gone, in the midst of the gloom, moral and physical, which was in that great abbey, a gleam of sun shine appeared at the very moment his body was being lowered into its last abode, which for a time dispelled that gloom. That slight and accidental coincidence gave rise to a most beautiful expression by another great and eloquent clergyman, who, alluding to the event, said that when human minds, gifted beyond their fellows, left the world, they left something of a light behind them ; and I believe that at this moment, after uncover ing this magnificent statue, so like and so characteristic of Lord Palmerston, when we saw the simple and touching ceremony which attended its unveiling, I believe there was not one of us, whatever might be our sphere, whatsoever might be our opportunities, who would wish to go away without determining to follow his bright example, in a lesser degree, but with the same wish to devote our lives in simplicity and under a sense of duty to the common country. (Cheers.) Mr. LOWE, on being loudly called for, also testified his admiration of Lord Palmerston's character. The noble lord was not only a great political leader and a great statesman, but he was a great Englishman, and an example to the highest and lowest, because when he undertook a duty he did it, and did it thoroughly. The company then dispersed, but the principal visitors were entertained by Mr. Cowper at a luncheon in a marquee erected at the west end of the Abbey Church. The Duke of Argyll responded to the tcast of " The House of Lords," and Mr. Cardwell to that of " The House of Commons." The day's proceedings terminated with an illumination of the Abbey Church. A " HAUNTED HOUSE" IN AMERICA. The haunted house at Muchelney is one of those extra ordinary cases which puzzle the scientific, furnish food to the superstitious, and excite the sneers of the supercilious and would-be-knowing. The farmhouse, an old substantial one, stands alone at the entrance to the village of Muchel ney, about three miles from Langport. Its only occupants are Mr. Traves, his housekeeper, and a young servant girl. Soon after Christmas last a slight shock of an earthquake, as supposed, was felt in the neighbourhood, and since then the farmhouse has been the scene from time to time of the noises and " manifestations" before described in these columns. The most common form is noise resembling at first the running of fingers over a hollow partition, or as if passing rapidly upstairs, and always ending abruptly with a kind of discharge, as loud as that of a rifle, but with no reverberation whatever—merely a dead thud — often followed successively kept up at intervals for days together, and then becoming silent for weeks. For some time the tin cover of a copper in the kitchen was wont to he thrown violently off upon the floor, and the bells about the house to be set ringing. But these are at present quiet, and the newest manifestation is in one of the passages, where a clock stands, with a table near, against the wall, and over it some bridle bits hung upon nails. About a fortnight since, during Mr. Traves's absence in the hayfield, the housekeeper and servants were terribly alarmed by the table being suddenly turned violently upside down, and the bits thrown off the nails upon which they were hung. The females immediately summoned Mr. Traves, who came in, and expressing his determina tion to judge for himself, took a seat near the table and w Ached. He had not been seated five minutes ere the table was again suddenly dragged, as it were, along the floor, and dashed down. We plainly saw the breakage which resulted, and heard the story from Mr. Traves's own mouth. It was only one of several stories of an equally startling nature. The mysterious part is that the walls are entirely ifinshakeu and the bore ulldieturbed.- 4.'t4Cmaill Fokly Eva, •-- LORD DENBIGH ON THE I DISH CHURCH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE " SUN." SlR,—When the Bishop of Oxford uttered his bold challenge respecting the early Irish Church in his speech on the Suspensory Bill, I endeavoured, though unsuccessfully, to obtain a hearing, that I might give to his statement an unqualified denial. There now only remains for me to meet them on paper. Having asked for his authorities, he sent me those he relied on, and I propose, as shortly as possible, in order not to transgress the limits of a letter, to examine them and expose their worthless ness for the object in view, viz., as proofs that the early Irish Church was entirely iniependent of the Roman See, and did not in any way acknow ledge the jurisdiction of the Pope; also that the doctrines of that Church were the same as those held by High Churchmen of the present day. I will commence by quoting the Bishop's words as reported in your columns of June 30. " Three fourths of the whole of the Irish Church property was given between the time of St. Patrick and Henry 11. to the native Irish Church. Do they teach the same doctrine ? I maintain, an 1 I lefy any one to contradict, that the Church of Ireland at that time agreed more completely with the High Church of England at this time than with the Ultramontanists on the other side. They were jealous of Rome; they boldly refused to come under the Rornish yoke ; they were con demned by the Church of Rome as schismatics, if nut as heretics, because they resisted the oppres sions which were brought upon them. The Church of Rome forbid the marriage of the clergy, the Church of Ireland allowed it. St. Patrick's father and grandfather were married clergymen. Which, then, did the ancient Church agree with—our Church or the Church of Rome ?" In proof of these statements I am referred by the Bishop principally to the annals of Cardinal Baronius for the years 516 and 604, and to the life of St. Wilfrid. As these refer to the most im portant points, I will, to avoid prolixity, confine myself to them. The first of these passages, No. 21, refers to a schism into which the Irish bishops, as well as certain African and Italian bishops, fell, through an opinion which they had formed that the Fifth General Council which the Roman Church had approved had by its condemnation of the three chapters infringed in some degree the decrees of the Fourth General Council. This misunderstand ing lasted some time, but was removed by St. Gregory the Great, says the same Barouius, under the year 592, No. 6, who remarks, " A certain proof that the Irish gave up their schism and re turned to Catholic Communion and unity is found in the fact that afterwards, like all other Orthodox men, they consulted Gregory on doubtful points, which they would not have done had they con tinued still in schism." You will observe that there was no question here of " tyranny "or " Romish yoke." The Irish bishops were deceived into thinking that the Ca tholic faith had been infringed, and when their error was removed, they returned to their ac customed attitude towards the Roman See. I may here remark, by way of parenthesis, that the most unimpeachable writers, Irish as well as foreign, bear witness that Ireland received her Hierarchy directly and immediately from Rome, along with her first teachers of the Gospel, St. Palladius first, and after his death St. Patrick, having been sent by Pope St. Celestine. The Bishop's second reference to Baronius, in the year 604, No. 65, relates to the difficulties which Archbishop Lawrentius, the first successor of St. Augustine, experienced from the temper and conduct of the Celtic bishops of that day in Wales and in Ireland. The heathen Saxon, for 150 years, had inflicted on the British Christians the most terrible calamities. They had finally driven them into Wales and the western parts of the island, and the enmity felt by the remaining British was so intense that they refused to communicate the Christian faith to those who had expelled them from their country. This was the cause of the little co-operation which they offered to the Roman missionaries in their efforts to convert the Saxon. But whatever differencies that existed as to the Irish time of celebrating Easter and the Tonsure, the Parliament of Whitby, convened by King Oswy in 664, discussed all the questions at issue between the. Celtic and the Roman missionaries. The Celtic party was then represented by Col man, a monk of that great monastery of lona, whose missionaries, the spiritual children of St. Columba, had converted the north of England. The Roman part was represented by St. Wilfrid, and I quote from Montalembert's recent work* the issue of the conflict. The bishop had pleaded the practice of St. Columba and his successors-- men eminent for the works they had done, and for their miracles. Wilfrid replied—" Admitting the holiness of your fathers, how can one prefer to the Church spread over the whole earth a handful of saints in a corner of their remote isle ? And as to your Columba, whom I will willingly call ours, as a servant of Christ, however holy and powerful he may have been by his wonderful virtues, can he be preferred to the blessed Prince of the Apostles, to whom our Lord said—' Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it, and I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven.'" Tiien the Saxon king said to his bishop—" Is it true, Colman, that these words were said by our Lord to Peter ?" "That is true,O king," answered the bishop. " Can you," rejoined the king, "show me a like authority given to your Columba ?" "No," said the bishop. "You are, then," said the king, " both agreed that the keys of the kingdom of heaven were given to Peter by our L or d ?" " Yes," both adversaries at once replied. " l hen," said the king, " I say as you do, th a t he i 3 the doorkeeper of heaven, and that I will never contradict him ; but, on the contrary, obey him in everything, lest when I reach the gates of the heavenly kingdom there be nobody to open them to me if I oppose him who bears the keys. In my life never will I do aught, or approve thing or person contrary to him." And the whole assembly approved, by its vote, this conclusion of the king by lifting their hands—the Lords who were seated, and the Freemen, who were standing —and all de cided to adopt the Roman usages. From that time forth these contests between - the Celtic and Roman custom, which had never touched matters of faith, dropped away. The British Church was united in its obedience to the Roman See, and all on which the bishop relies, as showing a repug nance to the " tyranny of Rome" and " the yoke of the Papal See," disappears. But the Bishop specially referred to a transient schism, lasting about thirty years, of the Irish bishops in the latter half of the sixth century. Now, it so happens that this period coincides exactly with the missionary labours of the great St. Columba above referred to, and that in his life by his successor, Adamnus, in the seventh century, we have an authentic picture of what the Irish Church then believed, and which the Bishop of Oxford claims as agreeing with the present High Church Anglican. St. Columba was an Irishman of the Irish, a prince of the Royal house of O'Donnell, who, in the year 562, at the age of forty, imposed on himself the penance of leaving his country, and founded the monastery of St. lona. In the thirty-fifth year which followed, up to his death in 597, he set himself to the work of converting the heathen Picts and Caledonians, and he did so by settling monasteries throughout their country. "Modern erudition," s : Lys Montale t, " has discovered and registered the names of ninety churches, which trace their origin to him, and all, or nearly all, of which must have been attached, according to the usages of the time, to monastic communities." This, I presume, is the first point of resemblance which the Bishop would establish between the Irish Church of the sixth century and the High Church at present. St. Columba was the father of a great number of monasteries, which followed his rule, and obeyed the government of his successors. I refer again to Montalembert (vol. 3, p. 299). " The most attentive and conscientious exami nation of all the monastic peculiarities which can be found in his biography (by Addumna, Abbot of 0: & r lona, in the seventh century), reveals absolutely nothing as to the observance or obligations distinct from the rules drawn by all the religious commu nities of the sixth century, from the tradition of the Fathers of the Desert. But that which is evident in them is —first, the necessity of a vow or solemn profession (Votum. monachiale voverient—votunt monochicum—devolus vovit—Adamn.l., 31-2., 39) to establish the definite admission of the religious into the community after a trial of various dura tion. Next the absolute conformity of the reli gious life followed by Columba and by his monks with the precepts and rights of the Catholic. Church of all ages. Texts, both incontestable and uncontested, demonstrate the existence of. Auricular Confession (expressly indicated in the history of Libranius, 2, 39), the Invocation of saints at every page, their protection and inter vention in temporal affairs, 2,5, 13, 39, 40, cele bration of feasts and offices in their honour, 2, 45. —3, 11—), the celebration of the Mass (a sancta. Jussus Christi corpus con ficere Eucharistix mysterim celebrare pro aninzo sancta Colgan vita prima, C. St, .4dammus, 3, 12) ; the real presence in the Eucha rist ; ecclesiastical celibacy, fasts, and abstinence& ; prayer for the dead; the sign of the Cross, and especially a constant and profound study of the Holy Scriptures." These, I presume, are the other points of resem blance which the Bishop asserts between the Irish Church, from 431 to 1170, and tha present High Church. The Right Rev. Prelate is doubtless prepared to rise in his place in the House of Lords and make this profession of his faith. Certainly all this exactly agrees with what the Ultramontanists, as he terms them, of the present day hold and profess, and St. Columba was a fit representative of the faith of the Irish Church in the sixth century; and these proofs of his faith are drawn from an almost contemporary author, who lived the same life and governed the same monastery as he did. The argument o the Bishop is that the Irish Establishment should not be dis established ; because, first, it holds the same faith as did the Irish Church between the years 431 and 1170 ; and, secondly, that the faith is the belief of the High Church of England of the present day. Which of these daring assertions would appear to be the furthest from the truth it is difficult to say, in testimony whereof I confidently appeal, first, to the evidences I have given above of the faith and practice of the Irish Church in the time of St. Columba ; and, secondly, to those who know what the temper of the present Irish Establishment has always been. The Bishop's last argument, drawn from the - • fact of St. Patrick's father and grandfather having been married men, is a mere sophism, unless he can prove that they married and had cb ildren while in holy orders. It is not at all infrequent for those who have been married to enter 203 widowers into holy orders. The present - Archbishop of Westminster was a married man, and Dr. Clifford, the Bishop of Clifton, is the grandson of Cardinal Weld, who was likewise a bishop. To conclude, the Irish Church was part of that great spiritual community termed the Catholic Church, of which the Apostolic See is the head and bond, from the time of St. Patrick to Henry U., and the High Church of England during the whole term of its existence has, on the contrary, never formed a part of it, but has ever protested, as it does now through the mouth Of the bishop, that this community is corrupt in doe- trine and tyrannical in Government. - Were I to pursue the Bishop through his argu ments I should fill a pamphlet instead of confining myself to a letter. Those who wish to see the whole subject treated in extenso,.may refer to Rev. Dr. Rocks' letter to Lord John Manners, published by Dolman in 1844.--I remain, sir, yours obedi ently, DENBIGH.
