THE BISHOPS AND THE BILL.

The Birintragaam Daily Post publishes in the Tom of a
;pedal telegraph from London the information follow-
ng :—" There is good reason to believe that the Archbishop
,f Canterbury has advised the bishops of his province
`,O abstain from voting for the rejection of the Irish Church
Bill. There is every probability that the Archbishop of York
will follow the example, and give similar counsel to his
Suffragans. All the bishops may not follow their advice,
Ind Lichfield, Peterborough, and Rochester are said to be
recalcitrant; but the temperate and judicious attitude taken
by the beads of the English Church cannot fail to exercisto
oowerful influence among the peers.

IRISH CHURCH BILL-DEJEUNER AT

WILLIS'S ROOMS.

On Wednesday a clljeaner was given in Willis's Rooms,
co entertain the deputations from the Irish Church Con-
ference and the Presbyterian Church in Ireland which
came over to memorialise the House of Lords on the
Trish Church Bill. The attendance was select rather
than large, and included a few ladies. The Duke
of Rutland presided ; and the company included—
the Archbishop of Armagh, Archbishop of Dublin,Duke
of Abercorn, Marquis of Hamilton, Lord Redesdale,
Earl of Bandon, Earl of Erne, Earl of Courtown, Earl
of Enniskillen, Earl of Egmont, Earl of Huntingdon,
Earl of Harrowby, Bishop of Tuam, Bishop of Derry,
Bishop of Ripon, Viscount Templeton, Lord Castlemaine,
Lord O'Neil, Lord Fitzwalter, Lord Colchester, Lord C.
J. Hamilton, Lord H. Thynne, Lord J. Manners, Sir J.
Pakington, M.P., Major Windsor Parker, M.P., Mr.
Corry, M.P., Mr. Whitmore, M.P., Viscount Crichton,
M.P., Mr. Vance, M.P., Mr. Arkwright, M.P., Mr.
Lefroy, M.P., Mr. E. K. Hornby, M.P., Mr. Newde-
gate, M.P., Mr. Verner, M.P., Sir Walter Farquhar, the
lion. E. O'Neil, Captain Archdall, M.P., the Dean of
Ripon, Sir W. C. Weldon, Alderman Sir R. W. Carden,
Mr. R. Dimsdale, M.P., Mr. Charley, M.P.,
Colonel the Hon. If. B. Bernard, and Dr. Cumming. Grace
before drjuditur u athid by thy Lvrd Diahop of Tuam,
and after by the Lord Bishop of Derry. The toast of the
Queen and that of the Royal Family were drunk amidst
prolonged cheering.
The Duke of RUTLAND then gave the toast of "The
Church and State." It was, he said, an old fashioned
toast, but was one that ought never to be omitted.
It was a toast that meant national feeling and
national will to maintain our national Constitu-
tion. Ile meant that the State should do nothing
that had not the sanction of the Church, and that
the Church should receive the help of the
State. The Irish Church Bill would destroy
the Chun h in Ireland, and were that clone, he believed
that the maintenance of the Church in England in its
integrity would be impossible. The majority of the House
of Lords, he was convinced, believed the bill to be a wrong
one. Against the opinion that because the House of Com-
mons had passed the bill the House of Lords had no right to
refuse to sanction it, he desired earnestly to protest. It
was the duty of the House of Lords to refuse that sanc-
tion, and they would be sustained by large majorities of the
people both in this country and in Ireland. (Loud cheers.)
The bill, he would remark, would take from the House of
Lords four Irish bishops who were amongst its most useful
members, and surely the Peers had a right to raise their voice
against so unconstitutional a deprivation. Telegrams and let-
ters had been received from Manchester, Wakefield, and
Liverpool, stating that large meetings had been, and would
be, held to protest against Mr. Gladstone's bill. The toast,
lie was sure, would be received with united cheers by Eng-
lishmen and Irishmen as the only security for the supremacy
of the Queen and the maintenance of our civil and religious
liberty. The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm.
In replying, his Grace the Lord Archbishop of ARMAGD
said that if the bill were passed, there would still exist
in Ireland a union between Church and State, but it would
Le the union of the Church with a foreign Power. The
Lords, he was sure, would quit themselves like men.
(Loud cheers.) In Ireland they were convinced that just
as the Protestant Church in Ireland receded the Roman
Catholic Church would advance.
After a speech from the Bishop of Derry, several toasts
were proposed and responded to, chief among which were
"The House of Lords," proposed by Sir John Pakington
'cnd responded to by the Duke of Abercorn " The Irish
13ranch of the United Church, and the deputies of the
Irish Church Conference," proposed by the chairman,
and responded to by the Earl of Carrick, the Arch•
deacon of Ardfert, and Mr. R. Hamilton ; and "The
Irish Presbyterian Church, and its deputation from
Ireland," proposed by the Earl of Harrowby, and responded
to by Mr. Macrorie. Mr. Newdegate, M.P., then pro-
posed the health of the noble chairman, who returned
thanlcs, and the proceedings terminated.

Ml?. RIGBY WASON AND A POLICE

MAGISTRATE.

Air. Rigby Wason appeared in the Court cf Qut en's Bench on
Wednesday, and applied for a rule calling upon Mr.Tyrwhitt,
ono of the metropolitan policy magistrates, to show cause
wey a mandamus should not issue against him to compel
him to take Mr. Wason's recoguisances to pro,ecu!e a
charge for conspiracy against Earl Russell: Lord Chelms-
ford, and the Lord Chief Baron, relative to the charge of
falsehood preferred by Mr. Wnsou against the Lord CU f
Baron, in connection with the Ipswich election, which took
place about 35 years since. Mr. Wason read a printed docu-
ment, setting forth minutely all the circumstances in con-
nection with his charge against 015 Lord Chief Baron and
what had been done in reference to it, the reading of which
occupied nearly an hour and a half. Rule refused.

THE ELECTORAL DISTUI?BANCES AT

PARIS.

The correspondent of the Standard gives the following
account of the serious riots in Paris during the
late elections:—" At about half-past eight on Mon-
day a perfect cloud of policemen, I should say 400 to 500, took
up a position along the north side of the Boulevard Mont-
martre, occupying in great force the corner of the Rue
Grange Batelier and the corner of the Rue du Faubourg
Montmartre, close to the restaurant formerly known as
Vachette's, but now as Brebant's. As a matter of course,
a crowd collected to look at the sergents.dc•villc, wonder-
ing what was going to turn up, and another crowd
collected to look at the first crowd. The cafis on the
Boulevard were instantly filled, and some of them had as
many as four rows of tables in front of the shops, all of
which were occupied by al fresco consumers. Circulation
was difficult, no doubt ; but the large, immovable masses
of policemen blocking up the way did not improve it.
The weather was most oppressive, not a breath of air
stirring, and the atmosphere filled with a kind of
minute dust perceptible to the eye. In short, the
weather was stormy, and Frenchmen, whether they be
lookers on or policemen, are remarkably subject to
electric influences. At half-past eight the police pro-
ceeded in a body to the office of the Rappel to effect
its seizure, and arrested a man who persisted in selling
it in defiance of the veto. Ile made a terrible row,
,soaped, bolted into a cafd, whither the police pursued,
and finally captured him, dragging him away to the
etation-house, whilst he shouted `A l'assassin ! A large
crowd followed, hooting the police. Meanwhile the crowd
increased in numbers, and frequent cries were heard
of Vive Rochefort ! ' and ` Des Lanternes !
This went on for some time, when all at
once a band of about four or five hundred men,
said to be students, debouched from the
Rne Vivienne, singing the Marseillaise,' and shouting
Vive Rochefort ! ' and I am also told, but did not hear
it, 'A has Jules Favre !' The police then made a charge
all along the northern pathway of the boulevard, and
the crowd in rushing along overturned the tables
outside the cafes, and in many instances the customers
too. Several persons came to grief, lam told, during
this first charge, and I saw one woman carried off in a
state of unconsciousness. A little after the cries of Vive
Rochefort !' and the ' Marseillaise' were again attempted,
followed by another charge of the police, and that wild
sort of indistinct clamour which marks the French
crowd in its angry mood. All the cafes on the north
side were then entered by policemen, cleared of their
customers, and shut up. This, of course, partly increased
the numbers outside, and the persons thus disturbed were
in no cheerful mood. All of a sudden—how it hap.
penedP I don't know—but the crowd and the police wer
suddenly transferred to the south side ; there was a
wild shout, another charge, and a regular stampede."
