MB. SHARMAN CRAWFORD AND MR.
MI ALE S MOTION.

The following letter has been made public among Mr.
Wales constituents :

CRAWFORDBBURN, June 2, 1856.
My dear Mr. Miall.—l congratulate you very sin-
cerely on (what I call) the success of your late motion
on the subject of the Irish Church. I call it success,
because, although defeated by a majority of votes against
you, nevertheless, to have had so large a minority was
'practically a victory—and there is no mariner of doubt
as to which side bad the victory in the argument. The
Irish Established Church was most miserably defended
in the debate; and I do not observe that any of the
greatitNns extqn
Wpilrs came to e.
• fifiink it very ataa rd tdmakelbTe. lrayaritli Grant,
or the. Regium D-onunii;•tbe objects of attack, either se-
parately or conjointly, leaving the Irish State-Church
fiteimpeached in the possession of a monstrous endow-
ment, drawn from a people the great body of whom,
being Roman Catholic or Protestant dissenters of vari•
IIEB sects, abjure all connection with its ordinances.
Therefore, I highly approve the course you have taken
in raising this question. The Irisla Regium Donuin and
the Maynooth Grant have been both conferred by the
state as a kind of compensation to these different reli-
gious bodies for the incubus of an Established Church
p!acel upon their shoulders. These endowments should
all stand or fall togeth-r, and nn man in any juilgoisnt
can act a consistent part, in attacking the minor. evils
and leaving unchallenged the great source of tie bad
print ple which has generated them.
I regret exceedingly, thzt the religious bodies on
whom these minor endowments Me 'e been conferred
should humble themselves by seeking a continuance of
them. They cannot enter the lists of a constitutional
struggle against such an endowment as the Irish Esta-
blished Church, so long as they continue to taint their
hands by grasping these miserable bribes to insure their
silence, and thus fa-teeing the false props to a falling
edifice which their acceptance of these grants has
supplied. _

Iregret to observe that the movement which you have
so honourably put in action, has not yet been met by an
adequate measuye of support in Ireland. I have no
doubt it is caused by the operation of the corrupting in-
fluencesof these minor grants—no men or people are in
a condition to attack a grievance unless they come to
the work with clean hands. Se long as the Roman
Catholics accept the Maynooth Grant, and the Presby-
terians the Regiurn Dentin; they cannot come before
Parliament to claim the great principle of relitzious
liberty on which alone the abatement of the State-
Church can be demanded ; but I confidently hope that
the day may not be far distant when they will stand
forward in the cause, unshackled by these miserable
grants of hush-money, to assert the rights of Christian
Icemen.

lam exceedingly rejoiced you have taken up this
question of the E.tablished Church of Ireland. It comes
with double power from ao English representative, and
I feel Moro particularly pleased that my successor in the
borough of Rochdale sh,mld have so ably advocated a
question in which, when in Parliament, I took a deep
interesb, in correspondence with the feelings of that most
noble constituency whom I had the honour of serving
for eleven years ; and I may truly say, it is an honour
for any man to he selected by them to fill the post of
their representative. _

I am, my clear sir,
Yours faithfully,
WILLIAM SHARMAN CRAWFORD.

THE RE-ENTRY OF 7'HE GUARDS INTO
LONDON. •

(From

The programme for the re-entry of the Guards
which, on the authority of a contemporary, we
publish elsewhere, can hardly be what the public
expected, and what Lord Palmerston seemed to
have in his mind when ho promised that they who
heard the drum beat before (lawn fir the departure
of this gallant band should have the opprtunity of
seeing it return. That departure was from one, of
the two centres of this metropolis—the Barracks
behind the National Gallery, and thence through
the Strand over \Vaterloo-bridge. Early and dark
a:s it was an immense multitude escorted the Guards
the whole length of that route, accompanying the
band ; and there was scarce a window in the lino
that had not its hastily- dressed, but not the
less enthusiastic spectators. This was through
London. That cannot be said of the line indicated

iu the programme before us. Vauxhall-bridge,
no doubt, is very convenient to her Majesty,
and enables her to slide in and out of this nit to-
polis in comparative quiet ; but it is at best a
species of back door. Tne road thence to Buck-
ingham Palace certainly passes through a district
better explored than it was a few years since,
thanks to Mr. Cubitt, the enterprising discoverer
of the south-west passage to the provinces. Bit
the squares, too vast iu space and too grand iii
plan, are still unfinished, the inhabitants few,
and the populace nowhere. They who live• there
like the region well enough, and there is no
place where good houses can be got on more
reasonable terms ; but we submit it is not the
core and substance of Loudon. Most of the
people who wish to profit by Lord Palmer-
stun's suggestion will have to travel a long
way ; and they will be much more numerous
than the Guards themselves, for whose con-
venience, we presume, this suburban route has
bee❑ selected. Is there any more recondite moan-
ing in the arrangement ? Are we to gather that,
as our army did not succeed in their assault on
Sebastopol, therefore they must be content with a
minor ovation and a less dignified route ? As for
the interruption of the traffic, which may have en-
.

tered into the question, it is a matter of calculation
that a line of 0,000 men, five or six abreast, cannot
anyhow be. a mile long, and, marching in ordinary
time, cannot take more than twenty minutes in
passing any one point. 5..) we really cannot divine
the object of the route said to be selected. It seems
at least to betray some of that false humility which

parsons not wanting in self-esteem sometimes prac-
tise at the expense of their fellow-creatures. Why
not do the thing in bold, handsome style f Even
if the soldiers hare to march a mile more, they will
like it all the better. It should be considered that
we are not overdone with military spectacles. We
have hitherto made a p3iut of hiding our army,
breaking it into small pieces, and putting it in
holes and corners. Our authorities do not even let
the public know when a review or an inspection
may be expected in Hyde-park, and the first intima-
tion that even our West-end folks commonly have of

these events is being waked by the firing. there is a
growing opinion that this has been bad policy ; at
all events, it is most inconsistent first to secret
our soldiers, and smuggle them in and out of the
metropolis as if they were prisoners on their way
to trial, and then tell the English they are not a
military people. Is there nobody at head-quarters.
with a soul large enough to do the thing
with better,
grace ?

CIVIL SERVICE (EAST INDIA.)—Yesterday was pub
fished a copy of further correspondence respecting the
regulations framed by the Comm►ssioners for the Affairs
of India for the examination of candidates for appoint-
ment to the Civil Service of the East India Company.
An extract of a letter from the Secretary of the India
Board to the Secretary of the Court of Directors com-
mences the paper• This informs the company (as they
are already aware) that the President of the Board of
Control has determined to waive the second examina-
tion, so far as concerns the candidates selected last July
and those to be selected this July, and to require that
the former shall embark for India before the end of
August, and the latter before the end of October. Then'
follows a copy of a letter from the Right Hon. R. V.
Smith, M. p., President of the Board of Control, Mr. T.
B. Macaulay, the ex-member for Edinburgh. Mr.
Macaulay, it appears, at first took it for granted that
there were to be two examinations and an interval of,
probation between them, but, on a full consideration, he
arrived at the conclusion that there ought only to be one
examination, and no period of probation. Mr. Lefevre
expressed his concurrence with Mr. Macaulay's opi-
nions, and Lord Ashburton signified his assent in con-
versation. Mr. V. Smith was at first unwilling to alter
the existing scheme, but so urgent a request has been
seat home by the Government of India for a larger
means of complying with it except by suspending for the
present the double examination. Accordingly, there
will not be a second examination either in this or in the
_ following year (1857.)
