ebk to some parties, to cite such of its provisions as
are necessary to be understood by members of the Senate
intending to vote by proxy. The first clause enacts :—" It

day the Marquis of Lora addressed the electors of Argyll-
shire at Dunoon as candidate for the representation of the
county in the room of Mr. Finlay, who retiree. He re-
viewed thechief questioos of the day, observing tbattheland
question of Ireland ought to be first rattled, denouncing

and promising to give his support to the recommendations

ABOLITION or Rau° tors En Domoesr.i Is IRE- 1
LAIM.—A meeting in favour of the general disendowinent
of religious bodies in Ireland, " in preference to than mea-
sure, of indiscriminate endowment which bane been lately
aerated by someleading statesmen of both parties," has been
held in the Athemvum, Castle-place, Belfast. Mr. .1. M.
Calder was called to the chair. A great number of letters
were read from parties unable to attend, including the
following from the Rev. R. J. Lynd, of Whiteabbey :
" The Manse, Whiteabbey, Feb, 6, MOB.—My dear sir,-1
regret exceedingly that a previous mermen puts
it out of my power to be present at your
meeting to-morrow evening. With the resolutions
to be submitted I thorongly sympathise, and believe
that legislation grounded on the principles em-
bodiedin them is the only method of permanenty settling
the present unsatisfactory state of ecclesiastical endow-
ments in Ireland. The half-measures advocated by some
only tend to defer the settlement of the matter ; whilst
the resolutions to be submitted to your meeting in my
opinion folly meet the difficultiesof a very complicated
question.—Yours sincerely, R. J. Lima." A number of
speakers addressed the meeting, and resolutions were
adopted to the effect that indiscriminate endowment of
religion by the state is undesirable, because it Is either
unjust, impolitic, or unscripturai ; that the present ar-
rangement of ecclesiastical endowments in Ireland is one
of the worst poisible, combining the evils of indiscrimi-
nate endowment with those which arise from an exaspe-
rating inequality • and that the disendownient of all reli-
ligions bodies in Ireland is the true solution of all her
ecclesiastical difficulties. A committee was appoiated to
form a society far supporting the principles of the raw-
latices.
GEMAT EASTERN STEAMSHIP COMPANY.—A meet-
ing of the proprietors of the above company was held at
the London Tarana, Bishopegateotreet, yesterday morning ;
Sir Daniel Gooch in the chair. The chairman, in moving
the adoption of the report, an abstract of which we pub-
halted yesterday, said he had very little information to
impart, in consequence of the failure of the French com-
pany to carry out the contract they had entered into. The
result had been a perfect brealulows. He Gould not go
into the details of the case at present, because the whole
affair was now before the law courts, and until some
definite result had been cow to it would he
imprudent of him to say anything respecting the
matter. If there were any questions that could be
answered judiciously, he should be happy to do so.
As far as the future was concerned, he thought their pro-
spects were encouraging. There were other cables to be
laid, and he was certain that their ship was the only one
which could acoomplisla moth an undertaking susemsfully.
The cost of keeping her was 701. a week, which covered all
expenses. The vessel was only insured spinet fire, but
say shareholden could, of course, cover their own risk.
There was always some steam up for the purpose of pump-
ing water. After a short discussion, in which a proprietor
suggested that the ship should be converted into a floating
hotel, the resolution was carried unanimously, and the
meeting broke nein the customer" manner.
