be " alissied by some step or 1.
sive to the people of
" eteselesive proof that we hai
" hastily or liihtly on a task of
" that we mean what we say, and tne.,
" far as depends neon us, the task wall be
" periineeed." In these words and in the
spirit which they breaths lies the pledge
of ultimste victory. Whatever may be the um-
eess in the Parliamentary division of the resolu-
tion which Mr. GLADIITOXII will wove this day
week, it is the beginning of a struggle in which
final triumph is certain.
The conflict, it is vain to disguise, will be ardu-
ous and hot. Party animosity and religious fanati-
cism will spontaneously awake, if they can
be said to here ever slept in Ireland, and they will
be sedulously stirred by every device of faction and
bigotry in England. The fear of forfeiting iniqui-
tous privilege has in every age of the world
inspired a more outrageous resentment and
violence than the sense of exclusion
from rightful equality. There is something in
the latent sense of injustice which inflames the
minds of the persons who proSt by it, as there is
something in the conviction of demanding only
what is right and fair which gives calmness end
sobriety to those who ask nothing but what is
their due. We may ex:ect in Ireland an outburst
of fanatic violence which will at once real the
worst days of Orange excess, and prove what
a missionary of hats and evil the poli-
tical establishment of Protestantism has been.
It has been a teacher of injustice, and men have
learned too well the lesson it has taught. The
case against it would not be so strong as it is if its
existence had not given a moral twist to the per-
ceptions of its supporters. The spirit in which
the dis-establishment of the English Church
in Ireland is likely to be resisted will be
proof too conclusive of the evil effects of pro-
testant ascendency. In England, nothing
that the agents of a mischievous faction
can do to stir up a similar excitement will be un-
attempted. Only one force will be strong enough
to resist them—the united strength and firm
purpose of the liberal party. The mind and con-
science of that party and its organisation are
secured, and these being gained, victory is sure.
But it may be delayed by illicit motives, under-
stood better because avowed more frankly, in
the lobbies of the House of Commons than out-
of-doors. In every party, and in every section of
every party, among Radicals of the moat advanced
professions, as well as among Adullainities, Conser-
vative Liberals, and old Whigs, there is a consider-
able number of men who dread nothing so much as
a dissolution, and who will be swayed by the threat
of it. To these people, whether they sit for monster
constituencies or for corrupt little boroughs, the
words "appeal to the country" are an irresistible
argument. The House of Commons is in their view
a club, liable to be periodically dissolved, re-
election into which is subj e ctto a thousand uncertain-
ties and attended with the payment of an almost
ruinous entrance fee, and a very heavy annual sub-
meription. They would vote black is white, rather
than precipitate a general election. The consti-
tuencies will do well to keep watch over the health
of their members, and to mark those of them
whom sudden indisposition, or urgent private affain
call away from the House of Commons when Mr.
Gatnerowe's motion comes to a division. Any
secession, however inconsiderable or worthless the
individuals taking part in it, which may seem to
indicate division in the ranks of the Liberal party
on the great question of the future, will bea serious
public mischief, and may delay a settlement which
must be speedy if its full benefits are to be
reaped.

ONE effect of the law's delay in the TICHDORNZ
case is that paragraphs find their way into the
newspapers, which, intentionally or unintentionally,
give dire offence to the contending parties. Now
it is depositions which are detailed and commented
on prematurely, now some circumstance which at
first sight seems of the most general interest, but
which is afterwards contradicted or protested
against as prejudicing the case, and now again a
letter from a relative or • solicitor volunteering
an opinion which, though of interest to • gossip-
loving public is without strict value in law. The
funeral of the poor lady whose inquest was com-
mented on the other day has furnished the latest
illustration of our meaning. The public were
circumstantially informed how Lord ARUNDEL and
Mr. ALrase SEYMOUR were " extruded " from
their position as chief-mourners by " the Austra-
" lien claimant," whose height and figure were im-
ported somewhat unnecessarily into the description;
while the black face and "white goatee" of the
negro accompanying him furnished light and shade
to • description which was sufficiently graphic to
annoy. Following on this • letter appears in to-
day's Times from the solicitor of the alleged Sir
Hoene Ticesoams, complaining that "opponents
" rush into print for an obvious purpose," and that
" an untrue account of the proceedings at the
" funeral " has been given. All whom it may
concern are informed that " through the kindness
" of Colonel Losuisovoii, who occupies Tichbcene
" House, Sir Roane Tielisoluva and his numerous
" friends were received as guests at the family
" mansion ;" that the late dowager, " only a few
" minutes previously to her death, wrote •
"letter exhibiting the greatest anxiety
" for his (the claimant's) welfare ;" and
that the latter "is ready to concur in
" waivering all technical legal objections, and go
" at once before • jury of his countrymen for the
" purpose of fairly trying the matter out." The
negro with " the white goatee" is " the faithful
" and much-respected black servant of the late Sir
" EDWARD DOUGHTY ;" some other circumstances

are added, and some explained away ; and the
public is gratified by another peep into this strange
family mystery.

lid. GLIDIPTOSeS

The Times is informed that the government has
given Mr. Gladstone this day week in order that he may
bring his resolution on the 'abject of the Irish church
before the house. This is a matter, the Taus proceeds to
argue, of which the test is success. If he goes to the
hustings successfully on this question, and carries kw
effect the disestablishment, he will hays redeemed the
liberal party from its most saandelous weakness ; bat U
he is beaten, he will establish Yr. Disraeli es
the Protestant champion and the idol of half
Easkad and the third of Ireland. It is to be presumed
the resolution will not be too strong to provoke a reaction
or too weak to be socepted, and that it will also point to
some particular course to be taken.
The Doily New discusses two forms by which the
principle of disestablishment may be carried out. One

is a rule that after • certain date vacancies occur-
ring in the crown livings and eoclesiastioal dignities
of the protestant establishment shall not be filled
up. On this plan the Mate church would be allowed
gradually to fade away. Another plan is the espitaliaation
of the ecclesiastical revenue, and the transfer to commis-
sioners or other selected representatives of the church, of a
lump sum representing the value of the life interest of the
present utcuulbente. The fund thus obtained would
afford ample provision for the present none-
' sales of the church and for its permanent

orpniestion in ee►eraae, from the state. Both

Accounts received from nearly all the depart-

class is not strong eseagle to hold in check the
authorities of a great city for 48 hours. The
truth is (says the Dibats) that the tumultuous
scenes which occurred in Toulouse were not the
result of any concerted plan but did undoubtedly
represent a great amount of dissatisfaction long
prevailing in that city from various cause."
There is, however, much exaggeration in the
pnblidied accounts. The red flag spoken of was
only • handkerchief which • young man, passing
by • slaughter-house, dipped in bullock's blood,
and &Item's& stuck on the top of • stick. His
companions soon made him take the hideous rag
down. The irritation produced very generally in
the south of France by the Army Bill was only the
match which set fire to • mans of inflammable
emitter long accumulating in Toulouse. The mu-
nicipal council, elected by a large majority, was
dissolved. The expensive public works which that
council opposed, and which are very un-
popular in the town, are obstinately carried
on by the agents of the executive. The represen-
tative of the central canton of Toulouse in the
Council-General has been dead for more than six
months, and yet the government, in open viola-
tion of the law, will not convoke a poll for the
election of a successor because it well knows an
opposition candidate would be chosen. Further.
more, the new electoral circumscriptions have cut
up Toulouse in such • manner that the town,
swamped by large country districts, can no longer
hope to be directly represented in the Corps Legis-
latif. These are some of the reasons why discon-
tent is general in Toulouse.
The Veterinary School of Lyons has been dis-
solved in consequence (it is rumoured, though full
particulars have not come to hand) of the students
having publicly refused to juin in a regulation

THE FENIAN TRIALS AT CORK.

THE SKNTENCE UPON CAPTAIN MACKAY.

The county court at Cork began to fill on Satur-
day morning long before 10 o'clock, the usual hour for
opening the promedings. As before, a large proportion of
the spectators were ladies. The Fenian prisoners were
brought down from the gaol, is the prison ran, about
20 minutes to 10 o'clock, and while passing into the
court-house were loudly chearei by the crowd which had
assembled near the aide door by which the prisoners r nter.
Mr. Jostles O'Hagan entered court at 10 &clods, and
William Mackay was at once put forward to receive set.
teat,.

The Deputy. Clerk of the Crown having called upon him,
in the usual form, to say why sentence should not be
pared upon him,
The prisoner rose, and with • calm, earnest, and at
some points enthusiastic utterance, addressed the ioart.
He was listened to (says the Cork Examiner) with pro.
found attention by everyone within the building, and not
a few of those present were affected, even to tears, by the
more touching passages in his address. He displayed
barely perceptible emotion himself, and then only
when he spoke of Ireland and the kind friends
from whom he was about to be separated. He a:44—
El4ll'nd will most miserably fail if she expects by
force and oppression to crush out to stamp out,
as the new exclaimed—this glorious longing for
national life and independence which now fills the bread
of millions of Irishmen, who only require a little patience
and the opportunity of effecting its purpose. Much
has been said on these trials, on the objects and intentions
of Fenianisai. I feel confidently, my lord, se to my own
motives. I shall not be guilty of the egotism to say
whether they are pure or otherwise. I shall leave that to
' others to judge. lam not qualified to judge that inyelf ;
but I know in my soul that the motives which
prompted me were pure, patrotie' and unselfish.
After speaking for some time in this strain, and
giving a sketch of his late movements in con-
motion with Fenianism—the prisoner proceeded:
And now, my lord, as I have already stated, I am ready
' fee my sentence. I feel rather out of place in this—(the
prisoner here smiled gently). It is a place • man is very
seldom placed in, and even if he is • good speaker he
might be put out by the circumstance of Laving to utter
his remarks from this place. But speaking at all is not
my forte; and there are such emotions filling my breast
at this moment that I may be pardoned for not say:og all
I would wish. My heart is filled with thoughts of
kind friends—near at hand and for away—of father
and mother, brothers and sister, and my dear wife.
Thoughts of these fill my breast at this moment, sad
cheek my utterance. But I will say to them that I am
firmly convinced I will yet live to see, and that ;ad will
be graciously pleased in His own good time to order
the prosperity and freedom of this glorious country.
I would only repeat the powerful, touching, and
simple weeds of Michael Larkin, the martyr of Man-
chester, who, in parting with his friends, said, God
be with you, Irishmen and Irishwomen," and the
burning words of my old friend Edward ollara
Condon, which are now known throughout Ire-
land and the world, " God save Ireland." .trd
I, too, would say—" God be with you, Irish-
men and women ; God save you ; God blear Ire-
land ; end God grant me strength to bear my task for
Ireland as becomes • man. Farewell!" (A sound of some
females sobbing was heard in the gallery. Several ladies
in court, too, visibly yielded to emotion at thi4 point.
Perceiving this, the prisoner continued :—) My lord. if I
display any emotion at this moment, I trust it w ill not be
construed into anything resembling a feeling of despair,
for no such feeling animates me. I feel, as I have already
add, confidence in God. I feel that I will not le long
in imprisonment—therefore I am just as ready to men
my fate now as I was six weeks ago, or as I was six
months ago. I feel confident that there is a glorious
future in store for Ireland, and that, with a little patience,
a little organisation, and • full trait in God on the part el
the Irish people, they will be enabled to obtain it at no
distant date.
The prisoner then resumed his seat, amid a suppressed
murmur of applause round the court. He kept his Wad
till his lordship came to that part of his sentence where be
was about to pronounce the penalty of the law on the pri-
soner, when he stood up and listened to his lordship with
ul attention.
is lordship, who spoke with much feeling, and was
several times, towards the conclusion of his address, so
moved that he had to halt in his address, then paned the
sentence of penal servitude for the term ofi 12 years.
When his lordship had concluded, and before the pen
goner was removed,
Mackay stood up, and said he wished, before be re.
tired, to remove an impression that had quite uninten-
tionally, be was sure, been favoured by his counsel—that
was that the soldiers in the Mariano Tower might have
stolen the powder themselves, and made that charge
against him afterwards to screen themselves. He wished
to say that no charge of that sort could be made 'Pinsk
those men, who had done their duty as well as they
could._ _ _

-1E; lordship—Very good, very proper.
The primmer—And with reference to what your lordshil
has sal so to hoping that this change in the count/ will
be achieved by quiet mew—
Ins lordship interrupted the yfflisoner. He could
not hear anything more from him after sentence had been
Tee
The prisoner then stood up, looked up at the gallery
where hie female friends were, lamed hands to them with
11111 appearance almost of gaiety, and then retired from the
dock.
