Congress met yesterday at Washington after the recess, but only to adjourn again until the 16th of October, and probably till a later date. When the members actually reassemble for the despatch of business the great question of the day—the election cf a President—will most likely be decided. Indeed until the contest is over the leading members of Congress can hardly be expected to be in their places. Meanwhile throughout the country there is little change. The Republicans have carried, as we know, the legislative elections in the territories of Colorado and New Mexico, and have done so by increased majorities. This is not a very important victory, even though they have succeeded in electing their candidate as member for Colorado in Congress. In Massachusetts the Republican Convention has been busily at work, has nominated a Governor for the State, and has unanimously passed resolutions en dorsing the legislative measures of Congress and the platform of the Chicago Convention, favouring the payment of the national debt in gold, and de nouncing the course of the Democrats as revolu tionary. The payment of the debt in gold is what all well-wishers of the Republic desire. The eva sion practised or recommended by those who would take advantage of a casual oversight in the terms of the agreement is unworthy of a great and powerful nation, but we fear the higher standard of com mercial morality in New England owes its origin to the strength of the bondholders' interest eastwards. In the Western States repudiation, or at least pay ment in currency, has plenty of supporters, while the claims of the national creditor are regarded with indifference. As for the course of the Demo cratic party being revolutionary, there is little to be said by the other side in extenuation of their own irritating and aggressive policy. Certainly what ever sins the Democrats have coinmttted they can hardly be convicted of having exceeded the Radicals in violent and inflammatory harangues. As for the financial difficulties of the country the Radicals have not much to boast of. The last formal state ment of the condition of the public debt on the Ist of Szptember shows that since the Ist of August it had increased more than 12 million dollars. How can it be otherwise when for the month of August alone the military expenditure was over thirteen million dollars ? Eight years of the army and navy cost less for a whole year, and yet the present time is a time of peace, and there is no reason why the rate of expenditure should be so exorbitant. The cost of the military arm of the States is now estimated at $160,800,000 a year, and yet no one can pretend that there has been a campaign or even a skirmish requiring any excessive outlay during the last twelvemonth. The explanation is to be found in the system of military governments in the South, since the principal partof the payments are actually for that purpose. The Radicals are always ready with one excuse or another. They are ready, i too, to boast of their retrenchments ; but Americans are too shrewd, or as they them selves would say, too "'cute," to believe that a policy which increases the debt at the rate of nearly $400,000 a day is a policy of retrenchment. The first question to be asked in such a state of affairs is naturally what standing expense can be cut down to bring the expenditure a little more in har mony with the income. The reduction of the costly military establishments in the South, which serve the double purpose of absorbing the public money and crushing the reviving energies of the Southern States themselves,is an evident cure for a growing evil. There is no lack of money in the country. The people yearly pay into the Treasury between four and five hundred millions of dollars, and yet in a time of peace they see their burdens rapidly growing in stead of diminishing ; and so long as the Radicals are at the head of affairs there is no chance of a change for the better. This question of the finances alone is sufficient to alienate the mass of the people from the Radical candidates. It is very well to talk about gold payments on the platform, but where is the gold to come from if they per sist in the course they have hitherto pur sued ? If they are able to maintain the lavish expenditure of the present system for another year or two it will only be by enormously increased taxation or by additional public debt. In view of their future necessities they may think it worth while to keep faith (at least in professions) with the national creditors ; but when the election is over the pressure of the time is likely to put their good resolutions to flight. Month after month goes by, leaving the finances in the same hopless embarrass ment as it found them in, while the Northern people chafe more and more under their burdens, and the South is becoming more and more disturbed and divided. The Congressional scheme of Reconstrtiction can hardly be regarded as other than a failure, even as regards the negro him self. The attempt to force him upon the white man as a political and social equal would result in nothing but •mortification and irritation—in em bittered feelings on both sides. In Georgia the question of admitting black members is now being considered by the Senate, but the Lower I louse has already declared them ineligible. Naturally this decision has greatly excited the negroes, and the leaders of the blacks advise retaliation. How, under such a state of things, can trade and commerce flourish, and the Treasury be enriched ? Although accounts are still doubtful, there is every reason to lielieve that the State of Spain is moat-sal:ions, and that with one thing and another Queen ISABELLA runs the risk of losing her favour altogether. She has not yet abdidated, it appears, but is said to have offered to do so, perhaps worn out with the excitement, and hopeless of seeing matters improve. The interview between the Emperor NAPOLEON and the Queen of SPAIN is now said not to have taken place, the QUEEN having left for Madrid as soon as she heard of the rising in the provinces. It is certainly most perplexing to form an opinion concerning intelligence that is either put vaguely, or may be contradicted to morrow, but the impression conveyed by the vari ous telegrams and accounts generally is most unfa vourable, and leaves no one even to doubt of the danger that exists to the monarchy. Among other rumours that are current it is said that the QUEEN has offered to abdicate in favour of her eldest son, and mentioned General ESPAP.TERO as a fit person to be Regent, but this scarcely deserves credence. If it comes to the QUEEN abdicating, the insurgents are not likely to listen to her suggestions, and to look with very favourable eyes upon those she puts forward to supply her place. Meanwhile the Ministry have resigned, and their resigna tion has been accepted. General CONCHA has been appointed President of the Council of Ministers, but in all likelihood it is now too late to remedy the evil that exists. Disaffection has taken too deep a root for the tardy efforts:of the authorities to eradicate it, and there appears little or no chance of matters being patched up again, even for a brief space of time. The QUEEN and her advisers, not to forget her favourites, have certainly brought their doom upon their own heads, and a scant mea sure of pity is all that we can allow them. After the ill-advised and most unwarrantable step had been taken of banishing the Duke and Duchess of MONT PENSIER there was little or no chance of a wiser policy prevailing, and much of the interest that existed in the affairs of the peninsula was dissipated by the spectacle of such want of English feeling prevail ing, and such subserviency to her selfish motives• From Paris we hear that Seville has pronounced for the insurgents, and the garrison followed its example, which looks very ominous for the authori ties, that being an important city, and one likely to affect other places. At Madrid great agitation necessarily prevails, and the telegraph wires are cut, thus adding to the general state of confusion and misrule. Respecting Cadiz conflicting accounts prevail, it being asserted on the one hand that the revolu tionists are still outside the city, and that the inhabitants and garrison remain faithful to the Government ; and, on the other, that the city is in the hands of the Progressists. In all probabi lity the last news is correct, or, at least, only pre mature, for the next tidings will most likely con firm it. Another source of dispute is to be found in the position of GONZALEZ BRAVO, it being con sidered that he has resigned, and again that he will keep the post of Minister of the Interior. If the last version of the story prove the correct one there is but a sorry chance of the Queen's retention of power, for BRAVO is most deservedip unpopular, and much mischief has been effected under his auspices. The French papers consider the " political situation" of Spain to be most serious, and one and all who comment on it agree in this. The semi-official Constitutionnel admits the grave character of_the affair, but urges upon the public the necessity of receiving all reports with caution, because of the interruptions that have taken place in the telegraphic lines. This is no doubt very wise counsel, but it is impossible to divert one's mind of the notion that we are on the eve of witnessing great changes in Spain, whether for the better or not remains to be proved, because it is one thing to find fault with existing arrangements and another to improve upon them ; and in the confusion and anarchy that bid fair to prevail the insurgents may do little after all but illustrate the truth of the saying that two wrongs do not make one right. Mr. AYRTON has been addressing a large meeting of the electors of the Tower Hamlets, in Spital fields. In the course of his observations he said that some of those who were ignorant of politics had asked what he had done since he represented the borough. This was certainly to argue themselves unknown, because whatever may be the sins and short-comings laid to Mr. AYRTON'S charge, that of doing nothing is in nowise applicable to him. He has made himself only too busy, and :shown more zeal than described on various occasions. It is amusing to see that the hon. baronet has deemed it be incumbent on him to take notice of this however, and, in default of any'better reason, puts the blame on Mr. GLADSTONE. That right hon. gentleman will be obliged to him, we should think ; and really it is a little too bad to turn round, after this fashion, besides being most unwise, to sow dissension in the Liberal camp. Mr. AYRTON does not mince matters, but refers his friends to " what is most palpable to all, the failure of the leader of the party, Mr. GLADSTONE, during the past two years, to prove to them how extremely difficult it was for a private member to do anything, especially when he happened to be among the Opposition." Then follows what we must admit to be an animated description of the tactics of the Opposition leader. Mr. GLADSTONE, it is said, has not suc ceeded in doing anything but criticise the doings of the Government, and intreat the country not to allow the present Administration to remain in office. This is very much what he has done, for little or no policy of a general character has been enunciated ; and it seems the old, old story . over again, that the claims of the Liberal party to sup port rest on the fact that they are not as the Con servatives are. As for the duties of private mem bers, Mr. Ayr:roil thinks that they can comprise a good deal on the whole. He could ask questions, and express his opinions on the answers for the benefit of his constituents, or he could sit on committees, although, as he plaintively added, few took the trouble to read the reports when they were presented to them as the result of the investigation. The useful men are those who are always on the " look-out" for what may be beneficial to their constituents, and among these faithful few Mr. AYRTON believes he finds a place. He takes credit to himself for having been the most active member for the Tower Hamlets during the last session ; and this may, in truth, be accorded to him ; but activity is not always to be commended, because it depends upon the cause in which it is employed, and we have only to point to the Metro politan Cattle Market Bill to show that inaction is sometimes more to be desired than officiousness that will not take a hint of any kind. M. Czerny, editor of the Narodny Pokrok of Prague, has been sentenced, for having disturbed public tranquillity, to eighteen months' imprison ment and a fine of 3,000 florins. M. Delnik, holding a similar pozition on the Workman's Daily Skeet, has been sentenced to three mouths of the same punishment and to pay 100 florins, for hav ing • excited hatred against nationalities and re ligions. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa alleges that, in consequence of dissensions between the Left, the Gari-baldians, and the Ratazzi prty, the Naples meeting has been postponed until towards the close of October. Many persons still think it is defulitiyely abandoned. LONDON AND NORTH - WESTERN RAILWAY. LEICESTER RACES, Ist and 2d October, 181$.

General Concha has been appointed President of the Coun cil of Ministers, and has arrived in Madrid. The insurgents are masters of Seville and the whole province of Andulasia.

The Paris correspondence of the AID nal de Rouen asserts that the French Minister of War is prepar ing to send 80,000 soldiers to their homes. NIORT, Sept. 22. At a banquet given by the Agricultural Society of this town General Allard proposed a toast to the Emperor, whose high wisdom and firmness, he declared, had saved France from anarchy at home and imminent war abroad. A communication from Florence in the Temps says :—" The existing Ministry asks no better than to remain in office and continue its reparative' role, and teach the public thought to cease to dwell on Rome. Every one believes it is sincere when it asserts that the dream of the Eternal city as the capital is commencing to fade away, and will do so more and more. Permit me to make a slight digression on this subject. You know that here immense works have been undertaken since 1865. The old walls are being pulled down ; they dated from Arnolfo di Zapo ; from 1290 to 1330, and were raised at the same time as the cathedral, and the Companile de Giotto which Dante saw begun. The city is going to be extended northwards be tween the banks of the rivulets, Africo and Mug none, small tributaries of the Arno, coming from the hills of Fiesole. Grand quarters are being constructed in that direction, and twenty other important improvements in the capital are going on. Florence is spreading out and making preparations for 600 or 800 thousand inhabitants. Down to this year these matters progressed very slowly, as the municipality doubted that Florence would continue to be the seat of Government, and there fore avoided the expense. At present it seems to hesitate no longer, and presses on its operations. In two years, markets, new streets, places, squares, all will be finished. Many persons have remarked this state of things and argue thus : When Count de Cambray-Digney was only Syndic here he de layed the works; since he is Minister he urges them f(!rwa l r \ d rh : a t t h i e s fsaocetvisidtehnetreore `?'_' W hy ve ry,clear' .'this, that . . both the Count and General Menabrea have at present only a majority of 19 in the Parliament, but if they took up the question of Rome they would have 300 votes against them.'

He was received by the lour chaplains attached to the establishment, and by the Directors Pagani and Pelagalla. His Holiness went through the diffe rent wards and conversed for more than an hour in the most kindly manner with the patients, who were happy and consoled in hearing his gentle lan guage. The Pope exhorted them to patience and Christian resignation. the Minister of War having arrived with some officers shortly after had the honour to accompany his Holiness in his visit. The Holy Father expressed his satisfaction at the state in which he found everything, and, before leaving, gave his:apostolical blessing to the patients, the persons attached to the service of the sick, in cluding the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, and to the soldiers' daughters instructed by them in an adjoining school." A letter from Bale, in the Industriel Alsacien, says :—" In many of the Swiss Cantons the for malities preceding marriage are so onerous that a legitinAata union is often inaccessible to modest purses. The sad moral consequences produced by such a state of legislation, the abrogation of which is demanded by all enlightened minds, may easily be imagined. The Constituent assembly of Zurich has just taken a resolution on this subject which does honour to the liberal spirit which presides over the deliberations of that body. After having voted by an immense majority the introduction of the optional civil ceremony it has abolished all taxes hitherto imposed on those who wish to be united; the latter in future will only have to pay some trifling fees. The intervention of function aries and ecclesiastics in the celebration of the rite is to be gratuitous."

PARIS, Momis, Septerater 21, Theiiiiiis of the rising in Spain is the one topic he're ; but, except an infinity of rumours and contradictory state. ments, there is little intelligence with which to satisfy the interest which has been excited by this most serious affair. The Bourse has suffered somewhat, but I see the English funds are as little affected by the explosion as by the news of a revolution:in Central America. With the exception of this engrossing event, the bulletin is of the most meagre description. The relations between France and Prussia, or rather between the French and Prussian papers, remain where they were, and are likely to do. There is an article in the Berlin Correspondence which might have excited some attention at another time, but as its general tenour is merely to prove that the armaments of France are not defensive, it cannot be deemed a very remarkable production. The Kiel speech has been followed by others which have contained no allusion to politics, and has thus been almost forgotten. The aspect of affairs in the East has been rathcx threatening ; but the alarming report that the Turks intended to cross the Danube into Roumania has not been followed by the execution of that perilous resolve. The Independance Beige publishes a statement to the effect that the Roumanian Government has addressed a com plaint to the English and French Governments respect. ing the aggressive attitude of the Porte ; but as the Belgian journal does not believe this rumour, it cannot expect that it will gain credence elsewhere. The public mind is, in sooth, utterly demoralised, and knows not how to find realities or dreams with which to relieve itself. In several of the provincial papers I find, for instance, a positive announcement that war is on the point of breaking out, with an allotment of the various commands in the army. The Em peror is to be the Commander -in -Chief, with Marshal Niel for his second in command. Mac Mahon is to have the first corps d'armee, Bazaine the second, Lebrun the third, Canrobert the reserve, &c. The papers publish anything,ssnd the people believe it. It is hardly possible to over-estimate the injury wrought by the pre vailing incertitude. The improvement in the health of Count von Goltz is attributed to the new treatment of Dr. Witmans, by the application of tan. Dr. Van Smidt, who treated the Prussian Ambassador without success, has asked the modest sum of £1,200 for his services, but he has been granted only a third of that amount. The elections in the NiZ;vre and the Moselle are both safe for the Government. The Opposition could hardly expect any success in these districts. Their chief con• solation for defeat is, that in the Nibvre, at least, the successful candidate did not obtain a majo rity of the whole number of voters. The official candidate polled 15,708 against 3,894 of his opponent ; but the register contains 32,776 names, leaving 11,085 absentees, besides 1,877 lost votes. These were evidently those who persisted in voting for the third candidate, M. Gambon. There is a rumour current in diplomatic circles here, that the French Government has made further overtures to the Cabinet of Vienna by inquiring as to the attitude of the Austrian Government in case of a commercial union between France, on the one hand, and Belgium, Holland, and Switzerland on the other. Baron Beust is said to have responded that the interests of Austria would in no way be affected by that measure, and that she would not seek in any way to prevent its adoption. It is added that the Cabinet of the Tuileries has not given up the project, and that it will be on the tapis again shortly. From the various reports of the vintage it may be con cluded that the quantity is not large, but that the quality is of a very high order. Judging by hints thrown out by the Moniteur and other official journals, the entry of Baden into the Con federation of North Germany is the subject of much atten tion on the part of the French Government. The Ministe rial paper of Berlin, the North German Gazette, declares that not only is the report of the forthcoming annexa tion a pure invention, but that " the editors of the French papers have no idea of the exact position held by Baden with respect to the Confederation, nor of the intentions of the statesmen who direct the policy of Prussia and of the Grand Duchy." The Prussian paper adds that the annex ation tendencies are not welcomed by the Government of Berlin. This may be taken as a fair assurance that Baden will not, for the present at least, openly form part of the North German Confederation. That she may secretly do so is very probable. It is reasonable to conclude that in case of war Baden would fall in with Prussia, and as her War Minister is a Prussian, her army organised on the model of that of her powerful friend, and finally, as the mcst open friendship for Prussia is professed in Baden, notably at the recent jubilee of the Constitution, very little is required to complete the union. From an inspection of the Agror Valley, the scene of the disturbances which have broken out on the north-west frontier of India, the Commissioner of Peshawur and another officer came to the conclusion that the rising amongst the independent tribes was likely to spread to the British side of the border. This conclusion was justified by a general cutbreak throughout the valley, and the levies of natives from Agror and Swat began to desert from the enemy. Unless the Snider cut matters short, the Times Calcutta correspondent thinks it likely that the Indian Government has embarked on a war which pro mises to be more serious than the Sitana campaign, in which 5,000 men were engaged on the same spot five years ago. The writer thinks this is not to be wondered at. The Sitana campaign was bungled, and in the eyes of the natives it seemed at the last to be little more than a drawn battle. Afterwards smaller disturbances were trifled with. The Bezotees killed an English officer, and got off very cheaply. A serious rising in Kohat was only postponed, not put down. Worse than all, the Wahabee fanatics who were the cause of the Sitana war were allowed to settle down in the place they formerly occupied, and it is given out that they did so of their own power. "Then, whatever we may think of Russia, her advance has affected all the tribes." We must now have a general setting in order in this quarter. The Dittlin Evening Mail announces the death of Mr. Thomas Mostyn, Crown and Treasury Solicitor. He was appointed to that valuable office in 1859 by Lord Eglin ton. He was Grand Treasurer of the Masonic Order in Ireland. A valuable appointment is placed in the hands of the Government by his death. General Peel writes another letter to the Times, to answer the speech of Mr. Childers at Pontefract. He thinks the Liberal leaders are very unwise to compare the military expenditure of the present Government with their own, and proceeds to explain why. The present Government have been developing the changes inherited from the Whigs, and supplying their deficiencies. He alludes to the enormous expenditure up to the year 1863-4, when the first decrease commenced. The reason of this reduction was given by Sir G. G. Lewis in moving the estimates, when he took no votes for ordnance. The right hon. baronet then said : " The whole amount of guns for the army for the present year falls short of £5,000. Ido not think any inconvenience will be caused by reducing our stores to the extent of £1,000,000 during the present year." General Peel remarks upon this : "Here, then, is the boasted decrease in the estimates accounted for, not in other sources of expen diture, but merely from the discovery that the guns you had been spending so much money upon were useless, and you had no better pattern gun to replace them with ; and this continued." In six years the Liberals spent £12,579,795 in guns and warlike material, and had nothing to shew for it. The General is severe upon Lord Hartington, and says that everything was handed over to the Tories in an utter state of inetriciency. As to the remarks of the Times that extra expenditure should be accompanied by a corresponding saving, which was the policy of Lord Palmerston's Govern ment, the right hon. gentleman says : " The new arms were not introduced, and new ideas were not developed, and the reduction in the expenditure was entirely owing to the suspension in providing for them, as I have shewn by the table of the audited accounts." He thinks that the vote for army administration might be reduced. "The Liberal Government were certainly not very (s.conomical or fortunate in dealing with that. I left it at £185,000 in 1859, and found it at £210,000 in 1866, and in addition to that increase several of the best clerks in the War Office had been invited and encouraged to retire upon pensions long before they were entitled to do so." Mr. W. H. Gladstone writes to the Rev. W. Keane to call upon him to explain his statement that " the Church of England disestablished from the State would become a bigoted and intolerant priestcraft, little differing from Popery save in doctrine, and not even differing in that - respect if Mr. Gladstone's doctrines as well as politics were to be adopted." Mr. Gladstone, jun., asks ;or his grounds of belief in the latter clause. The clergy ! rrrAn replica without hesitation : "When I observe a man for thirty-five years show sympathy both in public and private life with High Church doctrines, which, in my opinion, differ little from Popery, and which have already led many of their adherents to Rome—when I find among his strongest supporters those who openly advocate union with Rome, such as Dr. Pusey, who has written a book to show that Popery and Protestantism are identical—when I find such an one uniting with the illegally self-styled Archbishop of Westwinster and the Irish Romish clergy in a crusade against the Royal supremacy and Protestant Establishment in Ireland, I think I am fully borne out in what I have said. In politics Mr. Gladstone has pre. canted as many changes as the phases of the moon, but I will do him the justice to say that in religious opinions I 11.17 e never regarded him other than an advocate of Romisb . ..: - Tosed to Protestant views."

For full five minutes the heavy, rolling, rumbling shock con tinued, rocking the furniture, and even th e houses 'themselves, with such violence that persons could hardly keep their feet, and an instantaneous rush was made for the street. Here the sight beggared description. All the affrighted people kneeling and praying in the open street, crossing themselves, and falling in deep swoons full length on the pavement ; old women kneeling with both arms upraised, screaming and crying, the great bell of Santa Rosa Church tolling and tolling, while the terrified people fled in crowds within the sacred enclosure, and the great steeple swayed and cracked as if every moment it would fall unon and crush the affrighted masses. As far as the eye could see down tho long, narrow street, the very street itself rose and fell iu long billowy undulations, while out in the bay, the ships tossed up and down under the violence of the tremendous internal jar. While I write thousands of the poor ignorant natives, Cholos, are on foot and walking with all speed up to Lima, and the cars are so packed with human beings that a special train has been put on to accommodate those fleeing to Lima." Another, dated the 14th, says:—"Last night was the most fearful night of horrors that Peru has ever known. The sea was rising until midnight, and ac tually came in fifty feet over the mole, and submerged all the lower floors of the stores and buildings on the streets nearest the water. Ships lying at anchor broke their moorings and drifted into each other. There seemed to be a regular under -current of whirlpool, so that ships went whirling round and round! Thousands of people walked the streets all night, and this morning the stores are closed, and Callao seems deserted." THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY. METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS. Extreme Sea Tuesday, ' F.

Barometrical pressures over our islands have become more uniform during the last twenty-four hours : there has been an increase of two tenths of an inch on the S.W. coast of Ireland, and a slight fall at our eastern stations. The lowest pressures are on the west coast of France—a difference of four-tenths exists between readings at Roche fort and Nairn. Temperature is lower in northern and western districts. The wind, which yesterday was moderate and easterly, is still moderate, but more northerly. Calms are prevalent on our S.W coast, whilst on the W. coast of France the wind is fresh from the northward. The weather is cloudy. Fog and rain are reported from the W. coast of France. A certain elector of North Lancashire, having received a copy of Captain Stanley's address, with a request for a vote, wrote to ask for an explanation of the gallant can didate's very vague statements with regard to the Irish Church, which, as the elector pointed out, might mean anything. He received for reply a formal notice that his vote would be objected to before the registrar. The elector considers that this reply is scarcely an answer. The Protestant Association of Birmingham have addressed a series of questions to the candidates for that borough, including one asking them if they are prepared to pass a law for expelling Jesuits from the country and Ritualists from the Church. Mr. Bright has replied that lie does not choose to answer these questions in writing, but will explain his views on these and all other points when he meet his constituents. He adds : "I may, however, remark that you advise an extraordi nary course when you propose to expel certain persons from :England, and to drive all Ritualists' from the Church of England. I need hardly tell you that I am very Protestant—being much against all priestly power; but I cannot consent under the name of Protestantism to do what may be unjust, and what would, in my opinion, create discord and difficulty throughout the nation." Archdeacon Goold writes to the Dublin Evening Mail that he considers the State has broken faith with the Church, and that if the fifth article of the Act of Union is set aside he will feel at liberty to cast in his lot with the most ardent repealers. Disestablishment he is prepared for; disendowment he considers rank spoliation. Mr. Anderson, a rector in the diocese of Raphoe, writes that he cannot conceive any policy more hurtful to the Church than the diminution of the episcopate, nor can he conceive any circumstances which would justify the clergy and the laity in accepting it. He adds : " So long as we permit it to be supposed that the Irish Church cannot exist without the Establishment, and that over a wide part of Ireland Protestantism could not exist without the Church, there might, perhaps, be some justification for our acceding even to these terms. But these statements have not been proved. Many of us do not believe them to be true, and they are a reproach to the Protestant religion, as well as to the Church as a Divine institution. Let us retain as much of our endowments as we can; but let us not hold them at the price of becoming a party to the endowment of what is false, nor at the risk of weakening the spiritual efficiency of the Church as a teacher of the truth. We are not prepared to preserve the Establishment either in England or in Ireland at the cost of the Church." The Tablet (Roman Catholic newspaper) intimates that Mr. Disraeli will outbid Mr. Gladstone with regard to the Irish Church, by proposing that inasmuch as the tithe rentcharge is no longer to be applied to the support of the Church, the charge shall no longer be levied. " Let those who are now bound by law to pay it to the Church be freed by law from the obliga tion, and left at liberty, as far as the law of the land is concerned, to pay it to any Church they like best, or to pay it to no Church at all. That would be a shrewd bid. Catholic owners of land would not dislike to be freed from the obligation of paying the tithe rentcharge, and Protes tant owners of land would certainly prefer this plan to Mr. Gladstone's, which leaves them under the obligation of paying the tithe rentcharge even after the proceeds cease to be applied to the support of their Church." The Rev. Alan Greenwell, " Vicar of St. James, in Haydock," writes as follows :—" The pig's head offered at the late Haydock harvest festival was sold, and the money paid for it and other offerings was given to a church fund." It was almost a pity that this celebrated joint was not sold before it was " offered." By the way, - Mr. Greenwell is the brother of the well-known authoress, Dora Greenwell, the writer of some very good poems, and of a life of Lacordaire, which she has dedicated to her brother. The Duke of Buckingham having referred to the law officers of the Crown for the third time the question as to the lawfulness of the consecration of Mr. Macrorie in England, that ceremony, which was to have taken place on St. Michael's Day (September 29), will be postponed, and Mr. Macrorie will proceed to Africa with the Bishop of Cape town without consecration. The new Bishops of Bombay and Grafton and Armidale, Dean Douglas and Mr. Turner, will be consecrated by the Archbishop of Canter bury. Dean Douglas has just arrived in London from Capetown. A BRUTAL FIGHT.- T A desperate quarrel arose between two farmers named Bryan Feehely and Patrick Clancy, returning home from the fair of Manorhamilton a few days since in company with others. When some miles on the road, afterbecoming excited by too much drink, they commenced to fight with such savage determination that those with them found it difficult to separate them, and when they had succeeded in doing so it was discovered that the combatants had inflicted injuries upon each other of a er y serious character—those sustained by Feehely being such as to place his life in imminent danger. His v skull was fractured, and he received several wounds in other parts of his body, the weapon used by Clancy being a reaping -hook which he was taking home. Colonel Whyte, J.P., attended at Feehely's bedside to receive his informations, after which he issued a warrant against Clancy, who was accordingly arrested by the police, but he too was so grievously wounded that he could not be removed to gaol. A medical certificate was obtained that it would endanger his life to rera'we him, and he jiostTepoiLitin vA§l9,,ly of the police hi I is owni 4 Ci f nrt eft a ,C,VLO! tjadat HER MAJESTY.

Freeman Murray, cote' manding the Chatham division, cJinmenced the half-yearly inspection of the Artillery, Royal Engi neers, infantry, and other troops under his con mand at Chatham Garrison. The inspection yes' terday was confined to that of the various corp s attached to the 3d Depot Battalion of garrison in fantry, under the command of Colonel the lion. J. J. Bourke, the troops composing which were formed on the outer line of fortifications at 10.30 a.m., in heavy marching order, each man being provided with 10 rounds of blank Snider ammunition. 11 1 corps on the ground consisted of the Ist and 2d battalions of the 10th Regiment, Ist and 2d bat talions of the 14th Regiment, Ist battalion of the 22d Regiment, 31st Regiment, and 45th Regimen% the depots of which occupy St. Mary's casemate' barracks. On the arrival of Major-Gen. E. Murray , attended by his Staff, he was received with a genera l salute, after which he rode up and down the front and rear of the ranks, and inspected the men bl companies in line of contiguous columns. This coin' pleted, the officers and troops marched past the flag staff by columns of companies, and afterwards pro' ceeded to execute a variety of battalion and °theer movements incidental to a field-day, at the terms' nation of which Major-Gen. Murray quitted t he ground. Subsequently Gen. Murray inspected the officers and non-commissioned officers in the VW drill on the barrack square, and afterwards W en , through the barrack rooms and inspected the men fl kits, and saw the men at dinner. 1n the afternoon g the Majer-General visited the military schools 01' the battalion, the remainder of the day being de voted to the inspection of the books, accounts, and i other official documents and records of the varle u . , regimental depots.
