Lord Lytt(dt(in presented a 1,0 it ion to the 11. m..
of Lords last night from clergymen of the Engli,6 clior, h.
praying the house to concur in removing the iiijii.ti...•
the Irish establishment. The Deani of Ca11(121'1111"y ail
Bristol and the Archdeacon of Coventry are at th
head of the sioatures, and associated with them
are the Master of St. John's
Professor Jowett, of Os fora, Profe•sors Maurits: :is
Kingsley, of Canthrage, Pridessors Plumptre i
Cheetliam, of Kings College, Loudon, and V, •
Ilead Masters of Winchester, Harrow, Bitgby, if Oh v.
bury, Clifton, and the City of London schools, a
aiderable number of London incumbents, many i,IL x•
and tutors of the two ritiversitieq, and other
All these concur in the declaration that the MOM. t. cl •
of the Established Church in Ireland as the tot,
church of the country is an injustice which legiton 4t.17
offends the majority of the Irish people, and th.v , •
cortlingly pray the Iluuse of Lords to adopt ,Il‘ h 111
sures as may appear best suited to remote the
offence.

The second reading of the Establi.h.4l rim,,
(Ireland) Bill in the Ilmise of Lords will he m iv.
Earl Granville. The impression that Lord Cl rii I
would move the second reading is probably due to tip
'that his lordship gave the notice of the second
but he did Bo not on hie own account, but on bolidi vi
Lord Granville.

On the 3rd proximo, the Earl of Carnarvon in-
tends to move for copies of a certain despatch of thn 10th
January from the Secretary of State for the GAonie.i, rela-
tive to the consecration of a colonial bishop in South
Africa, and of a despatch of March 31 ou the same sub-
ject
The Marquis of Townshend has presented a bill
before the House of Lords to amend the Metropolis Loral
Management Acts. The bill, which is confined to ono
clause, simply propenes that every vestry or district heard
shall provide and maintain sufficient and proper
steam or horse rollers for the purpose of levelling every
street in which broken granite or flint has been laid for
the making or repairing of the carriage-way.
A requisition is in course of signature at
Southampton to invite Mr. Alderman Perkins, of that town,
to become a candidate at the nest general election for the
representation of Southampton in parliament. Alderman
Perkins is a native of Southampton, is an advanced liberal
in politics, and has been three times mayor of his native
town.
At Hanover the King of Prussia, replying to
the municipal authorities who have been prenntid to
him, said :—" I do not disapprove the sentine lit, invited
by previous relations; but that which does honour t, the
heart and to the paternal house ought to rest there, other-
wise you will go against me and my government, and yen
will compel me to act accordingly. Have confidence in
me and I am convinced that we shall go onward to
better state of things."
A NEApoLrrAN PRIEST.—The Assi2e Court of
Naples has just concluded a singular trial. A yours;
widow, 29 years of ago, named Maddalena 31.kuri,
entered the service of the Rev. Benedetto Cnte.
The connection resulted in the birth of two chil-
dren. A rival having appeared in the field, Mad-
dalena asked the priest to adhere to his promise be
marrying her. Conte refused. She then left his house taking
with her 600 ducats. Conte accused her of theft, but he
probably would have abandoned the prosecution if she had
not sternly refused to place her second child, a daughter,
in the Foundling Hospital. During the trial some letters
were read which show a singular mixture. On January
13, 1868, Signor Conte wrote to Luigi, the mastered the
prison in Gaeta, where Maddalena was confined :—"
It
B not suitable either for her or for me, who am a pries/,
that she should keep the child as she proposes. In ac-
cordance with my sentiments of religion and honour add of
tranquillity both for her and me, she must obey my well;
hers is contrary to the laws of the church. She erpnes
us to the contempt of the dregs of the people." On the
let of March Conte wrote to his former mistress that ho
would not continue to live with her. "Everyone," ho
writes, " looks out for himself, my good sister. Since my
bad luck would have it so, let the will of Hire, who
arranges everything for our good, be done. Pray to the
Lord for me, as I, on my side, pray for you." After the
reading of theme letters the jury brought in a verdict of
acquittal for Maddalena.
A deputation of volunteer medical officers will.
it is understood, shortly wait on the Secretary of State for
War, upon the recommendation of his Royal Ifi
Duke of Cambridge, Commander-in-Chief, regarding
ghness thi
the
wee= unsatisfactory medical arrangements throughout
the whole force.
