match was etimineueed yesterday at Lord's. The baud of the
Royal Horse Guards Blue was In attendance. The Royal Artil•
lery were the tint to act on the defensive, hot Mr. Arkwrkdtt•s
bowling was too much foe them, only two of the twelve—viL.
Meson. Kingacote and Narholt—getiing into double figures in
the lint innings, which amounted to it. F•ur the Household
Brigade Mr. Buller got 23 and Captain Legh 11, but with

THE IRISH CHURCH QUESTION.—When, in May,
1856, Mr. Miall proposed a resolution similar to that of
Sir John Gray, it was defeated by a majority of 70; the
motion being supported by 95 votes (including tellers) and
26 pairs. Among the opponents of the motion on that oc-
casion were 36 liberals, or Peelites ; 13 of the number
being member' of the then liberal administration. On
Tuesday last a total of 48$ members either voted or paired
against 312 in 1856, and Sir John Gray was supported by
183 votes and 53 pairs. Instead of 36, only nine liberals
voted against him. Of the Irish members, only 211 sup-
ported Mr. Miall by vote or pair, whereas 41 Irish mem-
bers voted or paired for Sir John Gray's motion. These
two divisions are the only two divisions which have been
taken on the question during recent years ; Mr. Dillwyn
in 1863, and Sir John Gray in 1866, having been unable to
press their motion to a division.
The Lord Archbishop of Armagh, acting for the
Bishop of London, consecrated, on Tuesday last, the
beautiful new church, St. Clement's, Lancaster-road West,
which has been erected by the exertions of the Rev. A. D.
Robinson, the incumbent of the district, liberally aided by
the Bishop of London's Fund. It contains accommodation
for ¶lOO, alt the seats being free, and one-half unappro.
priated. The Bishop of London is the patron.
CONGREGATIONAL MEMORIAL HALL.—From a
statement made by the Rev. T. James at the Venire's.
time! Union, it appears that the following is the present
position of this undertaking. In the middle of the year
1865, the property in New Earl-street was brought under
the notice of the committee, and iu June lest year tbe con-
veyance of the property was effected to Mr..l. Remington
Mills, M.P., Mr. Samuel Morley, and I:ev. T. Blaney, to
be held by them until .. deed of trust can be prepared.
The amount of contributions received up to the preaent
time, including the railway compensation for the Congre-
gational Library in Bloomfield-street, wa546,983/.6a. There
were outstanding promised contributions amounting to
12,054/. les., making a total of 50,100. N. An unex-
pected occasion of delay had occurred, but one which it
was hoped in the end would prove to the advantage of the
intended structure. The new street from Blackfriius.
bridge to the Mansion-house was designed to be 70 feet
wide ; hut for a short distance on either side of the wo-
perty purchased for the Memorial Hall, it was hut feet.
A very strong desire had been expressed that the Metro-
politan Board of Works should purchase so much of the
property as would make the street of uniform width, and
the committee would not proceed until the question was
decided. To complete the undertaking and to leave it
unencumbered with debt, a sum of not less than 20,0001.
was still required.
ST. NAZAIKE, MAT 9.—The Menageries fm-
periales Company's steamship Imperatrice Eugenie, with
the Melicen mails, arrived here to-day with 600.0110 hap
in specie. and 119 passengers, including Prince Iterbide.
The 'deices brought by the Imperatrice Eugenie asinowase
that Vera Cruz was still besieged by the liberate, wader
Benavidai, 3,000 strong, and that general W. gnat had
left the capital, with 6,000 Imperial troop-. to retake
Puebla.
