THE IRISH CHIIRCH.—A crowded meeting, con-
vened by the London Working Men's Association, was
held last evening in Freemasons'-ball, in support of Mr.
Gladstone's resolutions. Had the room been large enou4h
3,000 persons at least would have held up their bands in
furtherance of the objects of the meeting ; but In min-
queue* of leek of room hundreds went away unable to
obtain admission. At the commencement of the Fosse&
ings letters of regret at inability to attend were read from
several members of parliament. Mr. George. Potter was
in the chair, and he -led the meeting in an elaborate
.

Mr. CARTER, in a short maiden speech, supported
the resolutions. • He said his constituents had
elected him in opposition to a gentleman who
supported the Irish church. They were plain
people, and looked upon the maintenance of that
establishment as an injustice to the people of Ire-
land, and that they added to the injustice by any

delay in the removal of it. He was of the same
opinion, and was glad to be able to give his first
vote in favour of the resolutions.
Mr. Serje,ant Aititsraoso ridiculed the legal ob-
jections to the resolutions, and said the question'
was, should protestant ascendancy be maintained
at all hazards, or should Ireland be governed on,
the only principle which would tranquillise the
country—perfect equality, religious aa well as civil.
He did not think that the disendowment of the Irish
church would endanger the loyalty of the bulk of
the Irish protestants. He warned the house not
to expect that the abolition of the Irish church
would of itself be a panacea, but it would remove
the real obstacle to the settlement of the land
question.
Colonel S. Kwox saw in these resolutions the
destruction of the union.
The discussion wax continued by Major O'Reilly,
Captain White, Mr. Schreiber, and the Attorney-
General for Ireland, the two former arguing for,
and the two latter against the resolutions.
Mr. BRIGHT said it was a misfortune that they
had a government which spoke with a different
voice from night to night. The speech of the Home
Secretary was entirely opposite in its tone and
principles to that of the Foreign Secretary the
night before, and he supposed that if the debate
went on till Thursday the Secretary for India
would answer the Home Secretary. This arose
from having a government that was in a
minority. The house was in a kind of chaos,
the government was not a government, and the
opposition was not an opposition, but the oppo-
sition helped the government to carry out the prin-
ciples of the opposition. Notwithstanding this
difficulty, there remained this question of the
Irish church, which they must settle. It was
said this was a revolution they were seeking to
effect, but it was a very small one, affecting only
500,000 or 600,000 persons for whose spiritual
instruction they maintained no less than two arch-
bishops, twelve bishops, and thousands of clergy.
men, to whom theypaidaii income as large as would
be derived from a capital of ten or twelve millions.
If these resolutions were carried into effect,
that population would not be in a worse
state than the majority of the people of Eng-
land or Scotland. There were but two reasons
that could be assigned in defence of the Irish
church, the religious and the political. As a reli-
-ions institution the church of Ireland had been

church did not represent the spirit of Oki,-
dimity, one of the audience shouted, " No, of the devil "
—a comment that at onoe soured loud applause. Moved
and seesnded by working men, • motion was submitted to
the wheeting selling for the disestablishment of the Irish
theme, and the us of its revenue, after providing for
life mousses, for the secular interests of the Irish people.
In =Mot the motion, Sir H. Hoare earnestlyuried the
moo to strengthen the hands of the honestand ameiden-
tious statesman who was now fighting the battle in the
House of Commas. An amendment to this motion, pro-
te against dleendowmeet until further inquiry, wee
moved by Mr. Denny Urlin, of Dublin, but the meting
would not hear him. About twenty hands were
held up for his propodtion, and the original
motion was carried with aulantation. The next meek-
tion, spoken to by Mr. Hartwwell, Mr. Lawman, end the
I Ron. Auberon Herbert, called upon every liberal member
of parliament to support Mr. Gladstone's resolutions,
end asked the oonstituendes to py particular attention
to the approaching division list. Farther speeches were
made by Mr. Bradlaugh, the Rev. E. White, Mr. Davis,
Mr. He and Mr. Murphy ; and • petition to parlia-
ment was adopted in support of Mr. Gladstate's rank-
dons. A rota of thanks to the chairman concluded the
proesedinp, which, on the whole, were singularly unani-
moss, although at first there was some slight show of
opposition: We learn by telegraph that • lame
was held in the gnat market place at Nettingiutcolle.tha
night, when resolution& in favour of diesela the
Irish church were passed amidst much cheering. A pet-
, lien in favour of Mr. Gladdone's resolutions was ales
adopted. A crowded meeting far a similar pnrpoes wee
also held in the Asesmbly-rooms, when resolutions to the
same effect were carried. A rather uproarious meeting
was held at Norwich last night, at which, after seine
opposition a resolution expressing dismay at Mr. Glad-
stone's reiolutions was carried. The prop tap closed
with a certain amount of confusion. A crowded meeting
was held at Shrewsbury, last night, to petition parliament
in support of Mr. Gladdene's resolutions. An amendment
condemning the dieestablishineat of the Irish ektureh
as unrighteous was proposed and wounded by local
de men, but the resolution declared to be Carried
amidst great cheering.

prisoner come to her house on the 10th of February,
abate six o'clock, sad asked her where her husband was.
She replied that that was no basins.. of his.
He then said be bad mote foe her seat rent. She
said she owed him nothing, and would not
give him • farthing if it wens to save him from the
gallows. Witness then said that the prisoner asked her
to soup/stain, and began to pull her about. He put his
hand in her bosom and up her clothes, and tried to get
ilizkizistain. She resisted, and ran oat of the home and
the door. She went down the lane to see if she
could see any one, but it was dark, and the was afraid to
stay there. She therefore returned to her door, and
when the prisoner asked her to let him oat she unlocked
the door. The prisoner pulled her in, and began again
to pull her about. She knocked his hat off. The prisoner
bit her chin and neck when she was resisting his taking
her upstairs. She aria got out and went Into the lane
and called " thinking her husband was coming,
but it proved to be a man named Gm. O'Leary, whom she
knew • little. She cried, and told him that the
wee in the house, and that he had insulted and palled her
about. She asked him to go and turn him out ; but
O'Leary would not IA in, and stayed at the gate while the
woman went in. The prisoner then left. This was shout
half-pest 7. Her dress was torn, and her hair hawked
about. She did not toll her husband all at first, because
he had only recently been brought over to the Roman
catholic faith. The prisoner, she alleged, left behind him
an umbrella.

She admitted that she had complained to the bishop
about tho prisonwr, and that she had deliberately told
several falsehoods with to it.
George O'Leary to see.ng the prhoner at the
house of the prossoutriz.
Other witnesses were called to preys that the prisoner
had been seen near Hardwiek.lane, in which Km. Alford
lived.

- Mr. Huddlesion, for the defences said there was not a
particle of truth in the accusation. It was • charge
trumped up by Mrs. Alford, who had vindictive feelings
against the prisoner because • servant she bad ill-treated
had gone to the prisoner.
A number of witnesses were calledto prove that the pri
pones was at the house of a man named Donovan from 6
to ten minutes to 8, and that he could not have
been at Mn. Alford's. A number of respectable female
witoesees were also examined. Mn.s Alford had said that
them persons could give evidence of the immoral con.
duct of the prisoner, but they came forward and said that
they knew nothing whatever against his character. The
Donovan stated also that the prisoner took his umbrella
I away with him at ten minutes to eight o'clock, and this
umbrella was identified by the person with whom the
prisoner lodged, but the umbrella found at Alford's she
could not identify as the prisoner's.
The inquiry was resumed on Tuesday, and the jury re.
turned a verdict of Not Guilty.

Mortlake, where they ellsembethed and relied preparatory '
to the not *portent of their kids one the dune. They '
showed by their rewimg that the advice of Mr. George
Morrison, Mr. Brown, sod ethers of their sneaters, had not
bees disregarded, but lad had the desired effect, bringiag
them fad near perked*. They started front the Effdp at
31 minutes past 12 oa • very inferior half-ebb, the steerage
being so difficult as admit of the hills that at some
pdata of the distemois Mr. Totten/um had to take hie men
to almost stapdat water, and especially working
down the gut at Chiswick iyin and round the fiats
in Barn Elms reach, off the Crab Tree, and
Craven-point. Beginning at 36 Mr. Darbishire inereased
the pace as he shot Barnes-bridge, and at the bathing-
pled had reached 38 strokes p.r minute ; with unabated I
vigour the crew worked tremendously hard, sad kept up
the stroke admirably to Dung-wharf where the rowing,
although still at 39, became short, but hardly of such a
nature as to materially affect the winning chance of • crew
that had rowed four mike in capital form. The whole
time we 21 mhx. 12 sea., and from Hammersmith to the
aqueduct 9 min. 25 sees showing the great pad that
most bath been suatainel from Mortlake to Hammer-
' smith. Especially commendable in their were
Messrs. Benson (bow), Ross, of Bladensburg (3),
(6). and Carter (7), the crew really appppeaaaring to take their
stroke from the latter oar, Mr. ' 's WAtoo

up thahcand did not again leave the both-yard. While
the Oxonians were paddling up, Mr. Egan, the Cambridge
trainer, had taken his men to Chiswick, and, tutoring
them severely, needs them row smartly down from
Hammersmith to Palmy thdy averaged right
through 36 strokes ; but the Ant part was lost,
and that is, in fact, the only essential they lack, and the
one great point I. favour of the Oxonians. The swing
and time were geed, but the pate fell off at a mile, aad
bat • few of the men did anything like their work after-
wards, the wow evidently requiring rest ; however, it is too
late to talk about that, for the contest of Saturdsy most
show it in its strongest colours. Ths crew when first in
town were in • more advanced state of condition and per-
fection than their opponents, but too much hard work tea
apparently taken the powder oat of them, if it bas not
overtrained one or two, and depressed their spirits ac-
cordingly. The best oars is the boat were Anderson (bow),
Lowe (4), fitillwe, and Pinckney (8). In the afternoon

and after ro 1,000 yards the Ow** gave it up, their
