MR. DISRAELI'S AMENDMENTS ON THE
IRISH CHURCH BILL.

We have now definitely put before us the policy intended
to be pursued by the Opposition on the Irish Church Bill
of the Government. Clause by clause the measure has
been criticised, and the amendments which have suggested
themselves to the Conservative leader, or leaders, are now
put on the notice-book of the House of Commons. They
are most elaborate ; and unfortunate Mr. Disraeli will be
indeed if he cannot carry some of his proposals, and get a
good division on most of them.

The 'first amendment is " leave out Clause 2." This
clause runs as follows :—" On and after the first day of
January, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-one,
the said union created by Act of Parliament between the
Churches of England and Ireland, Shall be dissolved, and
the said Church of Ireland, hereinafter referred to as ' the
said Church,' shall cease to be established by law." Does
Mr. Disraeli' mean by this amendment to turn the
bill Into one for mere disendowment? if not, what does
the omission of the clause mean? The next motion
provides for putting off " the evil day" till 1672.
In his third amendment the leader of the Opposition
proposes to create, in addition to the paid commissioners,
three unpaid commissioners, and suggests the Right
Hon. Maziere Brady, formerly Lord Chancellor of
Ireland ; the Right Don. Abraham Brewster, late Lord
Chancellor of Is eland ; and the Right Hon.
Riclsard Keatinge, late the Judge in the Irish Pro-
bate Court, to fill the offices. He makes a dis-
tinction between the paid and the unpaid commissioner.
To the paid commissioner only he would give the power of
acting by himself, and, as a court of appeal, would have one
paid and two unpaid commissioners to sit. Mr. Glad-
stone's bill provides for payment to each of the commis-
sioners ; two of them to form a court of appeal. The next
important alteration is made in the clause providing that
hereafter no appointments to any bishopric, &c., shall be
made by her Majesty. Mr. Disraeli proposes, instead, that
from the passing of the Act until 1872 no such appointment
shall be made; thereby implying that after that time her Ma-
jesty will have the patronage as heretofore. The bill provides
that all property, real and personal, belonging to or in any
wise appertaining to, or appropriated to, the use of any
person -bolding any archbishopric, bishopric, benefice, or
cathedral preferment, shall vest in the commissioners.
This is proposed to be omitted and a proviso to be inserted
for a commutation in respect of other property.
The clause forbidding bishops to sit in the House of
Lords is allowed to stand, but an addition is made to it
providing that every present archbishop, bishop, and
dean, shall during his life enjoy the same privileges,
and the same title and precedence, as if the Act had not
passed. The 14th Clause seeks to enact that com-
mutation shall be made to the bolder of any office on its
real annual value after deducting the salaries of perma-
nent curates. Mr. Disraeli proposes to make no
reduction in respect of these salaries. The clause goes
on to provide that the salaries shall be paid to the present
holders of these offices so long as they discharge
their regular duties. The clause is so amended as to read
that the money shall be paid to them so long as they per-
form such duties as they were accustomed to discharge, or
would have been liable to discharge, if this Act had not
passed. Some amendments then follow in respect of
curates. The bill provides only for particular compensas
tion to permanent curates. All other curates are to apply
to, and to obtain compensation from, the commissioners,
andi are not to receive snore than £2OO per annum. This
is proposed to be altered by enacting that compensation
shall be given to all curates. " Two hundred "is omitted,
but no figures are put in their place.
Some verbal alterations of no great moment are then
made in the provisions as to compensating schoolmasters
and sextons; from which subject Mr. Disraeli passes on to
the much more important one of the " representative
body" of the Church. On this subject the bill provides
that the laws preventing the assembling of synods and
convocations shall be repealed. Mr. Disraeli adds several
Sentences, enacting that the bishops, clergy, and
laity of the Church may meet in General Assembly
or Convocation by such representatives, lay and clerical,
as shall be determined and declared by them in their
several dioceses, and in such General Assembly or Con-
vocation frame a constitution and regulations for the
general management and government of the Church,
and the future representation of its members in
Diocesan Synods' General Convocation, or other-
wise. Thus he substitutes " General Assembly "
for the indefinite terns " representative body." The
bill provides that, in the event of a representative
body being formed, the several persons deprived of incomes
under the Act may themselves apply to the commissioners
for the commutation of their life interests. Mr. Disraeli
proposes that this application shall be made on the part
of the person by the representative body on or before
Jan nary 1,1871. The bill provides that the commissioners
shall estimate the value of the year ly income or life
interest, and shall pay a fairsum to the representative body.
Mr. Disraeli proposes that the commissioners shall pay to
the representative body a stun equal to fourteen times the
amount of such aggregate yearly incomes and life interests,
and in return all the estates and interest of such persons
in such ecclesiastical property shall stnve in the commis-
sioners. The bill provides that n the case of
archbishops or other persons holding any building
charge, the commissioners in compensating them shall
deduct for want of repairs. This Mr. Disraeli proposes
to omit. The bill vests certain churches which are
national monuments in the Board of Public Works in
Ireland. Mr. Disraeli declares most strenuously that
these are not henceforth to be used for public worship.
Mr. Disraeli also adds to the clause providing
that churches shall be handed over to the
representative body, a provision that the com-
missioners shall at the same time hand over a
commutation of the sum paid by the Ecclesiastical com-
missioners yearly to churches for beating, lighting, &c.
The clause providing for the vesting of ecclesiastical
buildings in the representative body, is made compulsory.
The provisions as to burial grounds are allowed to stand,
as are further enactments as to church buildings and lands;
but a most important alteration is made in the provisions as
to private endowments. The bill sets forth that these
endowments shall be vested in the representative body, if
they have been left since 1660, the year of the Ileformas
Won, and tlmt, =f 51..
years the propel ty shall vest by application in the neat of
kin. Mr. Disraeli proposes to hand over all private
endowments, at whatever date given, which can he
satisfactorily proved by historical documents to be
given by private persons; and to change " within twenty-
five years " to "since 1800." He also proposes to hand over
to the Church all . oyal grants since the second year of the
reign of Queen Elizabeth. The bill enacts that the rent-
charge shall be commuted at twenty-two times its
value. Mr. Disraeli wishes that the amount
of commutation shall be appraised by inquiry
in the Landed Estates Court, and elsewhere as
to what has been the market price obtained on the sale of
the rent-charge during the ten previous years. Mr. Disraeli
next proposes to omit the famous Maynooth Clauses 36,
37, and 38. These refer to the Regium Donum as well as
to the Roman Catholic grant. As this bill would stand
under the amendments, the Maynooth Grant would
be simply repealed without compensation. Mr. Disraeli
also proposes to provide for the interest of the laity, and
does so by the following clause :—" That the commis.
sioners shall pay to the Church representative body a capi-
talised sum equal to four times the aggregate amount of
the net annual incomes of all the incumbents of
benefices, estimated in the manner provided by the
provisions of Clause 23, such capitalised sum to
be held by such Church representative body upon
trust to apply the income arising from the same in and
towards the maintenance of divine worship in such places
in Ireland, and in such manner as such body shall deem
fit." Being also concerned for the comfort of the repre-
sentative body, Mr. Disraeli proposes to hand over
£200,000 to provide for the payment of servants, agents,
and other expenses in connection with it.

THE PERILS OF STICKLEBACK FISHING.-Dr.
Lankester held an inquest on Friday on a boy named
Thomas Spiller, seven years old, who fell into the
Regent's Canal and was drowned while fishing for
sticklebacks. Dr. Lankester remarked that more
boys were lost in that pursuit than men in the sea fisheries.
A youth recovered the bodies by means of drags, for which
the law allowed him ss. Had he jumped into the water
and saved the boy's life, it appears that he would not have
been entitled to any reward.

The petition against Lord Milton and Mr. Beau•
mont, the sitting members for tho Southern Division of
the West Riding, was opened this morning before Baron
Martin.

The Springfield Republican says :—'• The late
Marchioness de la Valette, as we said some months
since, was the widow of Samuel Welles, the Massa-
chusetts man who established and long maintained the
best American banking house that has over been in Paris.
Her maiden name was Fowle, and she was born in
Rhode Island. A sister of hers being married in Lon-
don to an American banker there, .►Liss Fowle early
in life went to live in London, and there she married
Mr. Samuel Welles. Some ten years afterwards, in
1841, Mr. Welles died, leaving a large fortune to his
widow and only son, who graduated at Harvard a few
years ago. In 181'2-3 Mrs Welles married La Valette, who
has since so much distinguished himself in diplomacy.
Her son, who has been adopted by La Valette is now
known as Count Welles de La Valette, and has been
married for soma two years to a daughter of M. Rouher,
the Emperor's most able and trusted Minister. At the
time of her death the marchioness must have been nearly
sixty."

An officer recently called to confer with General
Sherman as to breaking up Lincoln Barracks, near Wash-
ington, which he considered a bad quarter for soldiers, and
asked him what he should do with the property. " Burn
it, burn it, sir!" said Sherman, impetuously. " General,"
said the officer, "please put your order in writing, and 1
will obey." "Burn it, burn it!" again exclaimed Sher-
man. The officer asked his written orders therefor,
when the General asked " what is its value." He was in-
formed it was worth $200,000. " Well," said Sherman,
" the fact is, this city is a bad place for soldiers, and 1
want to get them all away from it. You had better• put it
up for sale and clean the thing out quick." Subsequently
General Emory called to ascertain what orders he had for
his department. " What department?" inquired the Com-
mander-in-Chief. " The Department of Washington,"
said Emory. "Busted up, busted up, sir, yesterday; am
going to get all the troops out of this city."
Mr. Seward, in reply to an invitation to the
Johnson-Baltimore banquet, wrote " 1 cordially thank the
authorities for so kindly remembering my association with
the great statesman of Tennessee during the period in
which emancipation was gained, while the integrity of the
Union was saved, and the Constitution was not lost. Very
respectfully, your obliged and obedient servant."

Secretary Boutwell was a retail shopkeeper at
Groton. When Arthur Gilman was in Massachusetts he
bought a yellow mug at his store, and sent it to an Eng-
lish friend, in 1851, as a curiosity, for such he regarded it,
being sold to him from his little shop by the Governor of
Massachusetts.

George F. Hoar, brother of the Attorney-General,
is the new Congressional representative from the Worces-
ter district, Massachusetts. He will probably be offered
the judgeship vacated by his brother, but it is doubtful
whether he will accept it. Mr. Gaston, however, the law
partner of Speaker Jewel, is also suggested for the place.

HOUSE OF COMAIONS.—Tms EVENING
The SPEAKER took thi chair at 4 o'clock.
IMPUISONAIENT OF GEIILDREN.

Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Mr. Taylor, said no represen-
tation had reached him of two young children being s,,w
to prison for stealing greens, and a bey only eight year:
of age narrowly escaped the same punishment, against th,
decided opinion of one of the magistrates, Lord Folke-
stone. Ile had received no representation of the case, and:
it not being the duty of the Home Secretary to review t+a
judgment of magistrates, he had wade no inquiry into tin
matter.
Mr. TAYLOR gave notice that on the house going into
committee of supply bo should call the attentioa of the
house to the subject. (Rear, hear.)
ST. STEPHEN'S CRYPT.
Mr. LAYARD, in reply to Mr. Egerton, said the crypt
was quite ready for the performance of divine service, but
he proposed to take a small vote to complete the baptis
try. If it was thought desirable to have divine service
performed therein the house would have to provide an
endowment for the minister.
