SPIRIT OF TEE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Tho Times declares that the House of Lords by their decision on the Suspensory Bill remit the question of the Irish Church to the constituencies of the kingdom. The opinion of the House of Lords is clearly indicated by the division, but it is confessedly an opinion. The speeches during the three nights that have been given to the sub ject have been so far satisfactory that no peer of any rank among the speakers has ventured to proclaim an unyielding determination to maintain the Irish Establishment. Lord Salisbury and Lord Derby, equally with Lord Russell and Lord Granville, have acknowledged that the will of the people of England, delivered through the constitu encies of the kingdom and expressed by the House of Commons, must eventually prevail over the sentiments of the Upper House. The defenders as well as the opponents of the Irish Establishment thus appeal to the nation. The question is whether the House of Lords or the House of Commons better represents the opinion of the people. The answer cannot be doubtful. The nation is not misled by the mcr3 esprit de corps of ecclesiastical brotherhood, nor will it hesitate to do what is right from the apprehension that because a just act has been done an unjust act must follow. The people of England have the courage of faith, and when once persuaded that a prayer is founded on justice will insist upon its being granted. Upon this issue let the question go : Is it right, or is it wrong, that national property shall be devoted to the use of one eighth of the inhabitants of Ireland ? Does the distribu tion produce peace or engender disaffection? The reply will come with fullness and with power, carryingaway with it the opposition of the House of Lords and of all who would build on the sand of unjust privileges. The Post explains to some extent the decision of the Lords by observing that persons sincerely desirous of seeing the existing Church Establishment in Ireland swept away might nevertheless disapprove of a measure the sole effect of which would be to place the Establish ment, so to speak, in abeyance during the short interval which the promoters of the bill presume will elapse before the final measure receives the assent of the Legislature. The matter before the House of Lords was, as Earl Grey pointed out, simply a question of a few thousand pounds. It was not whether the House of Peers would consent to the clisestablishment of the Irish Church—for they were not asked to assent to any such measure—but whether they would interpose to prevent the filling up of any vacancies which might occur in the Irish Church pending the future decision of Parliament, whether that Church should be disestablished or not. But although this was the true issue, still, as the Suspensory Bill affirmed the expediency of severing the existing connection between Church and State in Ireland, an opportunity was afforded of discussing on general grounds the entire policy of dis establishment; and were it not for this fact, the debate in the House of Lords would be all its political and historical value. Except in some few instances both votes and speeches were dictated by individual feelings, not in re gard to the particular merits of the Suspensory Bill, but the general merits of the Irish Church policy of the Liberal party ; and no one can doubt that if the measure had been one for the complete disestablishment of the Irish Church, the result would have been practically the same. The Herald points out that Lord Russell commenced his speech by a prudent endeavour to Underrate the im portance of the bill, speaking of it as the comparatively insignificant measure which it would be if no resolutions had preceded and no measure of permanent spoliation were to follow ; and he complained that Lord Derby, in dealing with these precedent and consequent matters, had led the House away from the real subject of the debate. A sufficient answer to this charge immediately ensued, for almost in his next sentence Lord Russell turned to the general question of disestablishment, repeating the arguments and invectives which have formed the staple of every Liberal speech in either House, and the equally often-reiterated and refuted misinterpretations of Lord Mayo's speech ; vindicating the conduct of his own Govern ment in not entertaining the subject in 1866 (wisely evading the real question of his critics, why it was not entertained between 1860 and 1865) ; and never again remembered that, by his own profession he was discussing, not the dis establishment of the Irish Church, but a merely temporary measure to prevent the creation of new vested interests until the new Parliament can undertake the settlement of the whole subject. t. The Daily News observes that the spectacle which the House of Lords has presented in this debate has not been reassuring to the country. It is like a part of the crew taking up Jonah's cause, and protesting that they will either save him from destruction or go overboard with him. Of course, not even the Bishop of Oxford, nor Lord Redesdale, means this. There is a good deal of what the Americans call " buncombe " in this talk. The speeches of Earl Russell and the Lord Chancellor, summing up the discussion, brought out the contrast between the balance of arguments and that of . numbers. The present and immediate result is that the House of Lords is in antagonism to the country on a question in which they are so valorous now, because the necessity of finally yielding already looms in the distance. The Standard devotes its criticism to the Duke of Argyll's speech. It is very hard upon what it terms " the very curious and convenient theory" developed by his grace as to the right of the State to deal with property which is in intention given to the service of God. We are to judge, the duke says, whether money is given to the service of God by the results it produces. If these results are not agreeable to our notions we may pronounce that the money was given to a Church, and not to God, and confiscate it accordingly. If the effect of (the working of a Church is to produce peace and goodwill amongst men, as if any Church true to its mission could well produce these results if situated in the midst of a hostile majority, then we may say the money was given for the service of God, and it should not be appropriated ; but if, for political or social reasons, we should think the results of the working of the Church unsatisfactory, we have a right to say that the money is not employed in God's service, and appropriate it to building lighthouses or police barracks. But plainly, the doctrine, in the opinion of the Standard, amounts to this. If I, the Duke of Argyll, don't like the Church which has the endowment, or have some purpose to serve which would be helped by taking the money of that Church, I am entitled to say the money was not given to God's service, and forthwith apply it to that of Mammon. Everyone, the Star says, must have anticipated the decision at which the House of Peers arrived. If their lordships had as clearly anticipated the consequences of that vote they would probably, even at the last moment, have disappointed the general apprehensions of their countrymen. Large words are an inexpensive luxury, and Lord Shaftesbury advises that when the issue becomes distinct between the disestablishment of the Irish Church and the extinction of the House of Lords, their lord• ships should choose the latter alternative. But he perceives, what will soon be very evident to all the members of his order, that the rejection of Mr. Gladstone's bill will needlessly exacerbate the general election, without in any considerable degree hindering the 'object which the House of Commons has in view. Now, it would be very calamitous to see thb House of Lords brought to the point of accepting its own extinction ; but it is positively ignominious for that House to spew spirit and obstinacy at an immaterial stage of the great measure proposed by Mr. Gladstone, which they will not persevere in evincing when the final struggle comes. A baker in Paris is selling bread made of this year's crop of wheat. MISS RreS EM RAN'TS TO CANADA.—On tho llth June 60 of the 100 girls taken out to Canada by Miss nye arrived at Toronto under the charge of that lady. The Toronto Globe says that though they did not appear equal in bodily strength to the ideal English iiervant, they were eagerly engaged for domestic service at good wages. The Government emigrant agent, who met them at the station r said he was sure he could find occupation for a thousand, so numerous were the applications he had received. FIRE IN 111 E Ho= PARR, WINDSOR.—On .!londay morning the parched grass in the Home Park, Windsor, skirting the Datchet•road, was discovered to be on fire near to the row of choice fir trees planted by the Queen, the Prince Consort, and the royal children. The :abourers engaged in the gardens and slopes succeeded in beating out the fire, though not before an acre of uncut grass had been destroyed. The fire is supposed to have been caused by a lighted vesuvian having been thrown down at the side of the road by some wayfarer after light ing his pipe. SCENE IN A THEATRE. —Daring the performance it the Haymarket Theatre (London) the other night of " The Hero of Romance," an incident occurred of a kind wliieh, though rare nowadays, was not unusual in bygone thnes, when audiences used to surrender themselves more absolutely to the illusion of the scene than they are wont to do in this matter-of-fact age. In that passage of the third act where Mr. Sothern leaps from the lofty parapet of a castle into the grove beneath, a young lady in the stalls was so excited by the action that she shrieked " He is killed !" and springing from her seat attempted to rush nut of the house. Fortunately, her friends came promptly to the work of " disillusion," and succeeded, though not without some difficulty, iu pacifying her mind at the ex• pause of her imagination. This little episode was produc tive of no little sensation among the audience, whose excitement was not allayed until Mr. Sothern came in front of the curtain, looking sound and hearty, anti uctt whit the werae alarming pap, Tfa OVERLAND MAIL. Thp Indian mails are rather late this week. The dates are Li out Bombay to the 2nd inst., and from Calcutta to the 28th ult. The Bombay Gazette gives the following heads ,f intelligence : The troops have not yet begun to arrive from Abyssinia. The Viceroy in Council has, in a general order, expressed admiration at the whole conduct of the (Abyssinian) expedition," and conveyed thanks to the different local Governments fir the assistance they had rendered. Sir Charles Jackson, president of the Bombay Bank Commission, arrived by the mail steamer. The bill for the appointment of the Bombay Bank Commission has been passed by the Viceregal Council, and has re ceived the assent of the Governor-General. The news from Afghanistan records a defeat of Abdoolrahman Khan by the Ameer of Maimanah, the latter acting at the instigation of Sheer Ally Khan. Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Charles Herbert, agent to the Governor-General with the King of Oudh, has been appointed Political Agent and Consul• General in Turkish Arabia (Bagdad)! A Calcutta journal states that there is considerable com mercial uneasiness and difficulty there. There have been severe thunderstorms with heavy rain, at different parts of the Presidency (in particular Poona) during the week. The Times of India mentions the deaths of Lieutenant G. E. M. Sperrin, of her Majesty's 95th Regiment, and Mr. C. E. Temple, Deputy Queen's Advocate, Ceylon. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. PRESTON.—The tumour as to the withdrawal of the Hon. F. A. Stanley (C.) from the representation of this borough gains ground, and Lieutenant-Colonel Cross, of Redcar, is mentioned as a likely Conservative candidate. ANGLESEY.—Sir R. W. Bulkeley (L.) will retire. The Hon. Owen Stanley (L.), now member for Beaumaris, is expected to offer himself for the vacancy. BEDFORD.—Mr. Thomas Barnard (L.) who for some time represented this borough, has declined to become a candidate. Mr. Whitbread (L.) again solicits the suf frages of the electors. It is generally believed that a second Liberal candidate will be proposed. Captain Polhill-Turner, of Howbury-hall, will be a Conservative candidate, but whether a second will be brought forward is as yet unknown. BERKSHIRE. —At an influential meeting of the leading Liberals of this county, held on Saturday afternoon, it was resolved that the Hon. Auberon Herbert (brother to the Earl of Carvarvon) should be the second Liberal can didate. Mr. Herbert is an advanced Liberal, and his corning forward will tend to unite and consolidate the Liberal party. A requisition to Mr. Herbert was very numerously signed. BOSTON.—At a meeting of the Liberal election com mittee, a resolution was unanimously passed recommend ing that Mr. Parry be adopted as one of the Liberal candidates at the next election. It was also unanimously resolved to invite Mr. John Hinde Palmer, Q.C., to come forward as a candidate with Mr. Parry. CAITIINESS.-Mr. Traill, M.P. (L.), has announced his intention of not again asking the renewal of that confi dence which the constituency of this county have shewn him so long. CANTERBURY.—The present members are both Conser vatives (Mr. Butler-Johnstone and Mr. Huddleston), but the former has given much offence to his supporters by voting with Mr. Gladstone in every division on the Irish Church question. Both, however, will present themselves for re•elettion. The Liberals will bring forward Major Lyon. The chances are that the Liberals will gain one seat, and that Mr. Butler-Johnstone will be defeated. ITERRFORDSUIRE.—This is a three-cornered constituency, and the political representation is not likely to be altered. Mr. King King, the senior Conservative member, retires, and it is understood the Hon. Mr. Hanbury, Lord Bate man's brother,will be nominatedin his stead, Sir J. Bailey and Mr. Biddulph being re-elected. EAST LOTHIAN.—Lord William Ray (L.) has replied to the memorial sent from the meeting at Haddington, that if afair number of signatures is attached to the requisition he will have no hesitation in contesting the county. KILMARNOCK BURGHS.—It is believed that Mr. Bouverie (L.) will walk over the course. WORCESTER.— Mr. Laslett, the unsuccessful candidate in the late contest for East Worcestershire, has condi- tionally accepted a requisition to stand for Worcester city in the Conservative interest. Mr. Padmore retires, and Mr. Sherrill seeks re-election. The other candidates are Sir F. Lycet* and Alderman Hill (Liberals). OXFORD CITY.—The Right Hon. E. Cardwell has deter- mined not to attend any public-house meetings that may be held in the various wards for the purpose of furthering his election. Mr. Harcourt, in presence of his numerour committee, made a similar statement. Dr. Deane (C.) has begun his canvass. LAW AND FOLICE. SELLING GOODS BEFORE ARRIVAL.—In the Court of Exchequer the cause of Mooljee and another v. Schuster and others was heard. It was an action by a Bombay house against their agents in England for selling cotton "to arrive" consigned to them by guarantee, instead of waiting for the arrival of the vessel. The defendants had had a sample sent to them by the plaintiffs, and sold by description obtained from the judgment they formed of the cotton by the sample. Previously to the sample being sent the plaintiffs h'ad sent invoices describing the cotton as of different quality from what the defendants alleged the sample to have been. The defendants sold the cotton guaranteeing it to be "fair new Oomrawattee," and the invoices described it as " Comptah. " The case was referred to arbitration, when an allowance was made in favour of the buyers for £7Bl, and to recover that sum the present action was brought. For the plaintiffs it was argued that the defendants had no right to sell by sample without description, but should have waited till the vessel arrived, and then have seen what the bulk was like. The defendants called evidence to slew that the course pursued by them was the customary course of business in such ease, and consequently justi- fiable. After a long trial, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs for £5.50. TEE FORGERY OF RUSSIAN NorEs.—At the Thames Police-court the three Jews, Frankel, Harris, and human, charged with conspiracy and being in possession of large quantities of forged Russian rouble notes, representing up wards of £3,000 in English money, were brought before Mr. Benson, on remand for the fifth time and for final examina• tion. The principal witness was a ltussi an spy,named Zback, who had been dealing in false Russian notes, and who bought £5O worth of Frankel, a Liverpool pawnbroker, and had been in communication with Harris and Human. The evidence of Zback was confirmed in all the material particulars by Inspector Thomson, of the detective police, Scotland-yard, by Sergeant Parry, of the Y division, and other officers. Mr. Benson said the evidence of the approver was confirmed in all the material particulars by Inspector Thomson, and the prisoners were committed `or trial. HEAVY SENTENCE FOR SENDING BAD MEAT TO MARBET. - At the Guildhall, Thomas White, a butcher, carrying or business at Willoughby, in Warwickshire, was charged with being the owner of eight pieces of meat which were unfit for human food, and which were in. Newgate-market exposed for sale. The prisoner had previously been fined by some country justices for a similar "offence, and the magistrate in the present case - ordered him to be im wisoned for three months, with hard labour. TUE MARQUIS TOWNSHEND AND THE SERVANT. —At fin Wandsworth Police-court, Emma Banks, aged 14 years, was charged with wilfully setting fire to some clothes, and thereby causing damage to the amount of £1 7s. 6d. The prisoner was in the service of Mr. D. Chastelain, of 19, St. George's-stree,t, Battersea. On Saturday morning we' Mrs. De Chastclain placed some clothes before the kitchen fire, and afterwards went up stairs, accompanied by the prisoner. She was sent down stairs, and was absent about ten minutes. When she returned she was sent in the next room to sweep it. She afterwards ran out, and said, "Oh ! Fire—Smoke !" She then told her mistress that she found smoke coming up from below, who, upon going into the kitchen, found a blaze. The clothes and clothes-horse were burnt. She called the prisoner and accused her with having wilfully set fire to the clothes, but she made no reply. Subsequently she explained that it was the result of an accident ; that she put the clothes-horse nearer to the fire, when one of the petticoats caught fire and she could not put it out ; and also that she did not like to tell her mis tress. The magistrate, who thought there were grounds for giving her into custody, remanded her for inquiry. In the course of last week the case came to the knowledge of the Marquis Townshend, who attended the court and became bail for her appearance. The Marquis Towns bend again attended, but after some explanation with the girl's friends she was discharged from custody. A course of experiments on gunpowder and other explosive mixtures is about to commence at Woolwich under the direction of the Ordnance Select Committee. As a Mr. Maddox, a butcher, of Derby, was driv ing through the Trent with his horse and cart ho disappeared into the stream.

A writer in the Westminster Gazette says : Your readers may be glad to learn some further particulars in connection with the new regiment now in course of formation for the defence of the Holy Father and his small pos sessions against the attacks with which he is still menaced. The formation of this new regiment, " Les Chasseurs Americains," is due to the perse verance of General Carroll Teris, of the Ame rican army. Shortly after the battle of Men tana, an offer had been made by General Car roll Teris and two friends to undertake the formation of a regiment, to be composed ex clusively of at least English-speaking men, to be supported and armed by money collected on this and the other side of the Atlantic. This offer was not for the time being accepted. General Teris then applied himself to the col lection of funds for the use of the Govern ment of the Holy Father. His efforts were soon successful beyond his hopes, and money flowed in weekly. The General again applied himself to the task of obtaining the consent of the Holy Father to the formation of the new regiment. For this purpose he placed himself in constant communication with Gen. Kanzler, the Papal Commander-in-Chief and pro-Minister of War, whose devotion to the Papal cause and to the person of Pius IX. is so well known. Eventually, when all the de tails connected with the proposal had been laid before his Holiness, and explained fully by General Kanzler, the permission sought for was granted to General Carroll Teris. The general details are as follow : The corps to consist of 1,000 men recruited in the United States. Term of service, three years. _ _ The officers and non-commissioned officers to have served in their own army in as high or higher rank than that which , they shall hold in this corps. All appointments to be made by his Holi ness. No names of either officers or men to be proposed to his Holiness which have not been previously submitted to and approved by the bishops and priests of the dioceses and parishes in which they reside. _ _ _ _ The arm Co be the same as that of the other regiments, viz., the Remington rifle and sabre bayonet. The name of the corps to be the " Chas settrs Americains," to be under the command of General Carroll Teris, with the rank of Lie at.- Colonel. These give an idea of the new corps which, it is hoped, or at least a part of it, will arrive in Rome by the middle of October. Their uniform will be light bluish grey tunic, trow sers, and cap with green facings, which will distinguish it from the Zouaves, who have red facings. On the 21st of May Cardinal Barnabo addressed a circular to all the American bishops on the subject, urging them to give all the assistance in their power to the move• ment, and especially their superintendence in the selection of men and officers. On the 31st of May General Carroll Teris was honoured with the following letter and blessing from the Holy Father : " Die 30 Maii, 1868. " Benedicat Te Deus et benedicat illos qui bona voluntate et amore huic S. Sedi libenter et spontanei arma sumunt pro defensione ipsius S. Sedis et pro gloria D.N.J.C. " PIUS PP. IX." Fortified with this blessing, General Carroll Teris at once received his final instructions from the Minister of War, and started by next mail for London on his way to New York, where he will arrive in the course of the present week. Within the last few days a telegram, dated from Rome, has appeared in the morninc , journals to the effect that in con sideration of the disapproval of the move ment by the American Government, the whole thing had been abandoned. No faith, we must hope, can be placed in this, as it is highly im probable, and more especially as the telegram bears no official impress, and gives 1,200 as the number of the corps, whereas it was strictly limited to 1,000. Had the source of the news been official, this mistake would hardly have occurred. Before his departure from Rome General Carroll Teris received a letter from the well known Father Franco, the sentiments it con tained being such that I cannot abstain from giving you a translation of it. It is as follows: Civilta Cattolica, Casa degli Scrittore, Piazza a Borgo, Nuovo 66. Rome, 30th May, 1868. My dear General—Not feeling sure of seeing you before your departure for America, I de sire to offer you my best wishes for a safe journey and a happy success. You can scarce imagine what interest my colleagues and I take in your enterprise. Ah ! if we had had under the flag of St. Peter last October 1,000 brave Americans, what great things we should have seen accomplished. A single company of crusaders was at that time looked upon as possessing the force of a whole battalion. When the 5,000 Garibaldians had taken pri soners the heroic and brave defenders of Monte Rotondo, consisting of merely two companies and 'a half, and that only after they had fired their last cartridge, you know we looked upon this loss as seriously as if the army of the Holy Father had been deprived of the services of a whole corps of very great strength and importance. And, now, it is not so much the 1,000 bayonets the more we desire to have as 1,000 devoted hearts to testify to the world that the cause of the Holy See is the cause of Catholi city. Tell our brothers on the other side of the Atlantic that it is not merely a question of guarding a slip of territory, so small that it would not add a single star to the American flag ; but, tell them that it is for the defence of one of the successors of St. Peter, and to secure the independence of the religion of Christ; that to accomplish this it is necessary to save Rome from the tyranny of the Italian Government, and deliver the Holy Father from the menace of the stiletto. You will remem ber how they boastingly glorified themselves in their journals on the organised attack on the Vatican Palace, to take place on the 23rd o . Ctober last, and how sincerely they regretted the miscarriage of their concerted plan. Never, since the time of the Crusaders, has a ques tion of such grave importance arisen, in which religion and human civilization are alike com promised. Make your countrymen understand this ; Europe does understand it, and but for the action of there volution the question would have been now solved. We have seen not only Catholics but Protestants assisting the Pope. All honourable men amongst the Protestants of Holland, Germany, and England, applauded the young Zouaves, who, with the Papal colours flying from their hats, passed through the diffe rent towns, declaring aloud that they went to defend their "Father" from the encroachments and the tyrannies perpetrated by the revolu tionary spirits, with the connivance and un der the protection of the Italian flag. Even poor Italy, chained down as it is, has contri buted its quota to the gallant little army of St. Peter, besides a subscription of six or seven million francs. Did it depend on me I would, without hesitation, be satisfied to give you as your companion and co-preacher in this crusade, the honourable M. Guizot, Protestant as he is. I would, above all things, that you should explain to the Catholics of the United States that nolocal interest can, however great, for a moment compare with the all importance of saving Rome and the Holy Father from the horrible slavery of the Italian .Govern ment. Ah, if you only thoroughly understood the organized brigandage which they call "Go vernment "--if you could paint it in its true colours, I believe that the people of the United States would cry out with rage, and would, with all their power, help to crush an infamy so colossal. What would honest Protest antism say, did it know the history of this self-styled Goyeaunent, that roN its citizens of its goods, and that drives out into the street without shelter or bread the priest, the religious, the Sisters of Charity with their sick, and the orphans—and for the sole reason that it requires money, and takes it from the weak est ? What would they say of a Government that, after seizing all this wealth, managed in a few years to become bankrupt to the extent of three milliards, to ruin commerce and agriculture, and cause a famine in a country where real poverty was hitherto un known ? What would they say of a Govern ment that during a continued peace shot down its citizens by thousands, crammed its prisons, and burnt and sacked its villages ? I tell these things to those who desire to see the Holy Father compromise with Victor Emmanuel. Yes, tell these and still more horrible facts, and you will be within the truth. But my letter grows long, and I must cease, more especially as I know my Franco- Italian must be annoying to you who speak and write Italian and French at will. Pray give us news of yourself, and tell us that you have met with a complete success, such as the Holy Father wished you in the brief addressed to you. I shall not forget you in the holy sacrifice of the Mass. Believe me, dear General, yours, (Signed.) P. JEAN JOSEPH FRANCO. There is little doubt but that the most luke warm will be moved to enthusiasm for the defence of the Holy Father at the recital of the facts contained in Father Franco's letter, which gives to us who are acquainted with the country no highly-coloured picture of its mibe ries and the evil spirits fostered by its Go vernment. That men will flock to fight under the Papal flag is certain, the only difficulty to be encountered will be in raising the neces sary funds ; but even in this, with the voices of the bishops in his favour, but little trouble will be experienced. The sum to be raised for the first year is £150;000, and for each of the succeeding years £40,000 or £50,000. This, distributed over the whole area of the Catholic population of the United States, will scarce be felt, and cannot in the least degree hinder the progress of any other good work, and yet of how much value and importance will it prove to the Holy Father in the event of another attack upon his liberty and the Church which he governs, and which even his Holi ness himself, not fears, but expects at no very distant period ? OPENING OF A NEW CATHOLIC CHURCH The new Church of All Saints, at Barton-on- Irwell, was solemnly opened on Thursday by his Grace the Archbishop of Westminster, assisted by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Salford, the Very Rev. Provost Croskell, Canons Benoit and Boardman, and other clergy of the diocese. A large number of the Catholic residents in Barton, Eccles, and the vicinity were present at the ceremony. His Lordship the Bishop of Salford. officiated at the altar ; and a most eloquent sermon was preached by Dr. Manning, from St. Paul's Second Epistle to the Corinthians, chap. verse 18. The music selected for the occasion was Beethoven's Mass in C, Mr. Waddington presiding at the organ, supported by a numer ous choir. The church, which, together with the pres bytery, sacristies, and a family chauntry, has been erected at the sole cost of Sir Humphrey De Trafford, Bart., of Trafford Park, near Manchester, is probably unexampled in the district for architectural completeness and general magnificence. The total internal length i s 140 feet, and the extreme width 34 feet-- the nave and chancel being 20 feet wide, and the aisles, being little more than cloisters, serving admirably for processional purposes. The length of the chancel is 50 feet, and there is accommodation provided in the nave for about 550 persons. The effect of the interior is peculiarly successful, and the view from the west end, looking eastward, is beautiful in the extreme. The nave and aisle arches, to gether with the columns that support them, are formed with Runcorn red and Painswick white stone alternately, with moulded bases and exquisitely carved capitals. From the latter spring rectangular arches, whi?li termi nate on responds against the aisle walls, and support the purlins of open timber roofs.' The walls of the aisles are also recessed and arcaded with a series of arches, one over each window. The roof of the nave is composed of English oak and Savannah pitch pine, elaborately stop chamfered and moulded, inlaid in parts with different coloured woods, and additionally en riched with gilding. It is in the chancel, however, that the most skilled workmanship, as well as the most costly materials, have been lavished, and the grandest powers of artistic conception everywhere dis played. The finished sculptured work, the polished coloured marbles, the rich mosaic paving, and the transparent glory of the beau tiful stained glass windows, all tend to give an appearance of great beauty and positive splen dour. The altar is raised about four feet above the level of the nave, and is most delicately and chastely worked in Cararra, Sicilian, Sienna, and Devonshire marbles, the whole exhibiting great taste and beauty of design and exquisite workmanship. On the reredos, which extends across the whole width of the chancel, angels are appropriately arranged in the attitude of adoration. Over the tabernacle four angels, finely executed in white marble, suppOrt with uplifted hands a jewelled silver gilt crown, forming a canopy under which th e M ons t rance is place at Benediction and Exposition. The front of the altar and sides of the tabernacle are carved with groups representing scenes in the life of our Lord. Shaftings of Caen stone spring from the ground on each side of the chancel, and carry the ribs of the groined ceil ing, which are decorated with carved bosses at the intersections. Bound below the windows is a carved cornice, from which are suspended hangings of rich crimson silk velvet. The communion rail is very handsome, and is constructed of brass, wonderfully wrought, and polished oak, elaborately carved and moulded, all of very artistic workmanship. Externally the building is finished with Yorkshire parpoints and Stourton freestone dressings. The most striking exterior feature, perhaps, is the De Trafford Chauntrey, beyond which is seen the gabled roof of the chancel whilst the west end, with its flanking buttresses, canopied arcading, massive rose window, and turretted gable, is also very attractive in ap pearance and execution. The presbytery is a very picturesque and commodious building, fitted up and finished throughout - in the most complete and characteristic manner. The total cost of this magnificent pile of buildings has been £20,000 ; and the whole work has been executed, from the designs of Mr. E. Welby Pugin, by Mr. Glaister, con tractor, Liverpool. We hear that there are over 1,000 dogs which have been seized by the police under Sir R. Mayne's pro clamation waiting to be claimed at the metropolitan police stations. The regulation is, that they should not go at large without a muzzle during the dog-days, as a security for the public against the bite of mad dogs.

The money market meets no change except a greater accumulation of funds, greater ease, and a general reduc tion of rates of interest. The remittances to New York from the country banks still continue large, and the balances in the city bank vaults are steadily increasing. Loans are readily obtained at New York at 3 to 4 per cent. on call, and on Government security at a slightly lower rate, while at Boston the current terms are about 1 per cent. higher. The statement of the Now York banks shows, with their paper accumulations, a large decrease of specie, and in times of a stringent market and active busi ness the deficiency might create some uneasiness among the timid capitalists, but, in the present condition of things, specie is of no more value than so much m voltam dist, of any other sort, and if it is' not hoarded and idle in the banks the chances are that it is doing its proper ser vice in the commercial exchange of the country. The. financial doctors who aro forever reprimanding Secretary M. , Culloch, because he doss not empty the Government Treasury. of its last dollar in hard money, will certainly not complain to see the b ink; uud irgoing the process which they advocate for the Geverament. It is said that Government has it in its power to strong hen the menoy market by freely selling gold or bonds, but it is not likely to adopt this course. Its currency balance is already unexpectedly largo, from the receipts of the annual income tax in May, and from the fact that the army disburse ments last month were $12,000,000 less than wore antici pated. There is no probability that any natural demand for money will produce any stringency for some time to come ; not until the harvest is gathered, and the crops be gin to come to market. • The wool crop will soon corns forward for disposition, but all the money that will be re quired for its movement will make but slight difference with the amount which now overburdens the market. At the West the same stagnation rules as at the Ett§t, and it seems not unlikely that Chicago, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, and the other grain markets of the West, might almost supply their own needs for the coming harvest. Government securities declined a little in London, Wednesday, and the price at New York fell off slightly in consequence, but the demand is still strong, and the business large. The steadiness and uniformity with which the market holds its own is considered a good sign, and shows a strong under tone of confi dence iu the securities, which will probably send them up again as soon as the market manifests any acti vity. A large speculative demand is already developing, in anticipation of the payment of the July dividends, when the disbursements will amount to over $40,000,000, and the Government Bonds will be greater favourites than ever. Only a small portion of this immense amount is due in Europe ; and the only profitable and reliable invest ment at home seems to be the Government Bonds. Tho supply will be then exhausted, and the only ones to be procured, to satisfy the demand, will b 3 those already upon the market, and the competition and the premium will undoubtedly prove altogether unprecedented. The security and convenience of the Government Bonds as a permanent investment are altogether unsurpassed ; and those who hold the most of them will be the mest fortu nate, whether they buy to sell again or to keep. Seven thirties are still chanted into 5-20's, as fast as possible, by the United States Treasury; but its printers are al ready about $8,000,000 behind in its deliveries of 1867 bonds, on account of the rush of Seven-thirties before the Ist of June, and it is not probable that any more deli veries of 67's will be made for at least a fortnight. Mean while the bonds of 1868 aro in preparation and will be ready for exchange, it is promised, by the 15th of this month. The time for the exchange of all Seven-thirties expires with the maturity of the issue of the last series, July 15, 1863, and after that time the Government will redeem them for their face value, and nothing more, un less it should extend the time thirty days for the stragglers, which is quite probable. The debt statement for June shows an increase in its total amount during May of $9,717,059, owing to the large payments of interest and the heavy issues of bonds to the Pacific Railroad com panies. The coin balance in the Treasury decreased $16,681,098, and the currency increased $11,101,933. The decline in Seven-thirties during the month of May was $58,008,050, and the gold interest-bearing debt increased $57,449,550. The aggregate amount of debt, on the first day of June, deducting the coin and.currency in the Trea sury, was $2,510,245,886. The drafts upon the Govern ment for the next two months will be very heavy, includ ing the payment of the July interest, and no reduction of the debt is expected. The export of gold this week has been considerably less than last, but the price has not materially changed. On Wednesday the shipments were $972,000, making about a million since Monday, to which $531,000 was added, Thursday. The closing price, Thursday, was 140. The Treasury of the United States paid out $69,000 in in terest of the public debt on that day, but neither its dis bursements nor the receipts from California, which have been about a million for the week, are sufficient for the de mand.for export and customs. The imports at New York are very large, and the amount of gold daily paid at the Custom House is a serious draft on the supply ahead, and is almost the only element which keeps the market from utter stagnation. There will be no difficulty, however, after the first of July in furnishing the revenue officers and all the speculators with any amount of specie whiclithey may wish. Besides the disbursements of Government coin interest which will commence on that day, the various railroad, steamship, and manufac urine companies half-yearly dividends will be payable at that time, and it is es imatei that the aggregate amount which will be thrown upon the market will he over $73,000,0 00 . The larger part of this will be in coin, and will tend to depress the price of gold, while it is upon the market. This is of little import ance, and the price of gold of less interest. The chief consequence of the disbursement is the effect which it will have on the Government Securities, and appreciation which it will immediately cause in their market value. I That the result will be of this character, and decided and universal, there can be no doubt. A bill providing for a uniform coinage of gold and silver a mong all the nations was introduced into the'Senate, oft Tuesday, by Mr. Sher man, of Ohio, who does not seen to have very good suc cess with his financial bchemes this season, and which he will allow to lie over until the December session. The bill provides in detail for the weight of coin of gold and silver, and if it beotnes a law will take effect on the first of Jan., 1869. There would be decided advantage to the com merce and exchange between the nations should a stan dard and uniform circulating medium bo introduced, but so long as our Legal Tender Act remains in full force, its effect would probably be to stimulate the export of coin. This slight disadvantage, however, should not prevent our Government from taking its share in the great and important movement which will advantage and facilitate the commerce of the whole world. The Jerome Park Races, which have been struggling with most unpropitious weather, have diminished the at tendance and the interest of the New York speculators in their usual haunts, and the stock market has been rather deserted and decidedly dull. The standard and leading railroad shares, however, maintain a good degree of strength, and the Jane business, with its first run of sum mer travel, is opening with remarkable promise. New York Central developed au unexpected strength, Wednes day, advancing nearly 11 per cent., and it is rumoured that arrangements are in progress which will force the price to very high figures, and that the Erie will share in the advance. The two roads, which were lately at swords' points, and the rival bands of directors, which were lately standing with their hands on each other's throats, and the strong hand of the law on both, have quietly laid aside all their little unpleasantness, and everything is extremely . lovely between them. The reduced rates have been re stored to their original attitude, and the prospect for another bountiful harvest from patrons seems excellent. An occasional Port Jervis disaster—only one this week— disturbs the equanimity of the Erie managers, and they are pushing as rapidly as possible the process of steeling the rails of their treacherous and perilous road. After their great theft of funds and flight to Jersey City, any thing in the Dick Turpin line becomes perfectly easy to them. The great : railroad war of the West, of the Chicago, and North-Western against the Chicago, Beek Island and:Pacific, is also ended, and the price of the latter's stock is rapidly advancing in the market. Presi dent John F. Tracy still holds command of the situation ; and his extension of the line to Omaha is going forward at the rate of half-a-mile per day. Tho road will itntne diately step into powerful and successful competition for the through traffic, by any of the Pacific railroads, to "all Points west" and beyond, and will become one of the most important of all the main lines radiating from Chicago. A weak injunction or two has been obtained at New York, simply for speculative purposes, on the further progress of the road, but they will be disregarded, and the progress of the enterprise unimpeded. Pacific Mail Steamship Com pany's stock continues dull, and but very little is doing in it. The company hold steadily to their policy of exter minating the opposition ; but the opposition dies hard, and it wouldn't bo surprising if it didn't die at all. The Pacific is the older and stronger corporation, and can stand the strain the longer ; but difficulties of this sort are not usually settled in that way. Consolidation, purchase, or surrender is cheaper, and, in the end, more satisfactory. Border State Bonds, particularly those of Missouri, are in good demand at high prices, except those of Virginia, which, under the postponement of the payment of the July interest, have declined 5 or 6 per cent. The spring business is dry goods, which the late and backward season protracted to unusual length, is about ended, and the transactions before the fall male comes on will necessarily be limited. The interval will be at least two months, but trade in the meantime will be moderately active in preparation for the fall. Merchants and business men generally are looking / forward to autumn with a good deal of confidence ; the crops of all kinds promise well, and, as a consequence, a sound and reliable basis for trade is indicated. The flour and wheat markets at New York and Albany have been dull during the week, and the transactions have been only from hand to mouth; sufficient to satisfy the immediate needs of the purchasers, mostly for the local trade. At tho Cambridge and Brighton cattle markets all kinds of meats and stock, beef, mutton, pork, and poultry, are lower, and the supply is in excess of the *demauct. The otte4 market/ and mills are net active, and the general tapering off of the summer domand leaves both producer and manufacturer indisposed for large or vigorous business. The trade for foreign goods is also about over, and the stea:ners of the week have brought only small cargoes. Woollens of all descriptions are dull, waiting for the fall trade to open. (From the Wall-street Journal.) NEW Yon; Friday Eveaing,"June 12. Money continues very abundant, and is readily obtained on mixed collaterals, at 3 per.cent., on call.

The Bankers' and Brokers' Association, recently orga nised under charter from the State of New York, com menced business yesterday at 14 and 16, New-street. The institution will be employed as a clearing house for stocks and bonds, and until the mode of business becomes familiar a limited nu nber of stocks aro to be passed through the Clearing-house, those selectel for the present being New York Central, Erie, Michigan Southern, and Northern In diana, Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, Chicago and North Western (Preferred) and Pittsburg, Fort Wayne, and Chicago. This institution, by which it is seen that the dealings in stocks may be largely facilitated, e,nd trouble saved to dealers, and errors avoided, is organized under the charter, which is ample, including privileges. The Clearing house contemplates also a consolidation, under one management and in one building, of the trans fer offices of corporations the shares of which are dealt iu at the brokers' boards. The internal organization of the Clearing-house is effec tive, having been arranged by some of the ablest men of the Board, who have sought to place the best available talent in the management, which is assisted by a staff of (at present) some thirty clerks. When the clearings of the stocks named shall have got nto easy working additions to the number may be made, till at length the dealings in the whole list will be em braced in the daily operations. Regal tr sales and cash sales early in the day will be covered in the day's clear ings, which are to be finished at half-past 12 o'clock each day. The charge for clearing is 20 cents for each 100 shares of stock. The Association has a subscribed capital of ono million dollars, of which half has already been paid in, and the remainder is subject to call when it is nodded, or can be profitably employed. • Tho shares are selling at about fifteen per cent. premium.

Tho compound interest notes, the principal and interest of which were receivable for three per cent. certificates, were reduced $19,701,710. The debt, gold and currency bearing, and the matured debt not pre sented, was increased $3,120,079 —51,920,000, of which increase consists of bonds issued to the Pacific Railroad companies.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The proposal to raise a battalion of 1,200 men in the United States for the Pontifical army has been aban doned, as the American Roman Catholic bishops have been informed by the Washington Government that - such enrol ment would be contrary to law. At the dinner of the Cobden Club last Wednes day, Mr. Goldwin Smith, in reply to the toast of the even ing, "Success to the Cobden Club," said ho presumed be had been called on to do so because he was soon to sail for America, whither he presumed he would go charged with expressions of the kindest and most cordial feeling of all Cobden's disciples to the American people. He trusted, however, no one would suspect him of turning his back on his country, or that he would ever fail to be a g ood Englishman wherever he might be. He should, how ever, scarcely feel himself out of England in the United States, because, whatever the difference between the two countries, the people still had love for Old England at the bottom of their hearts. But however much the States were like old England, he was sorry to be obliged to note one great difference it was impossible to pass by or, such an occasion. They were still Protectionists , though he believed free trade was advancing among thong• He asked England to be patient with American protection , for, after all, it was but the first commercial instinct of a nation, the instinct of unenlightened desire for gain. Even in this country 70,000 Lancashire manufacturers petitioned against the first movement for free trade. American pro tection seemed to him to spring partly from the ordinary fallaoies on the subject, strengthened by the conduct of England during the late war. A feeling of patriotic re' sentiment induced a prohibitory tariff for English manufac tures, bnt ho ventured to say that 20 years hence would see, not a commercial treaty, but free trade between the two countries. The Chairman had referred to the. Irish question. Ho should watch the coming struggle on that subject with the keenest interest ; ho trusted it would result in good for the mother country, and in the ascend ancy of those principles which his friend Mr. Cobden had always maintained. Those who would fight the battle had his warmest sympathy. He assured them that if vic tory attended their efforts it would be a victory not merely for their party, but for their country and for humanity'. (Cheers.) The New York Times states that the ddvice adopted for the new national flag for the Dominion of Canada is as follows : -"A white field, containing a gar laud of autumnal maple leaves, bound with the Order of the Garter, and surmounted with an imperial crown, the irrrepressible beaver, and a number of maple leaves in the centre."
