THE BUSH CHURCH.

On Monday last Mr. W. E. Foster, M.P. for
Bradford, appeared before his constituents in
St. George's Hall in that town. Having ad-
verted at some length to local electioneering
topics, the hon. gentleman proceeded to con-
sider the question of the Irish Church. He
wanted a few words with those who are op-
posed to Mr. Gladstone—not merely followers
of Mr. Disraeli, but with the men who agree
with Lord Salisbury, or, if they don't like that
name, those who agree with Mr. Hardy :—" I
want a few words with them. We have strong
arguments on our side. They think they have
on theirs. Now, what is our motive ? Our
motive is that we believe unless we carry out
this measure that we cannot preserve the union
of England and Ireland without—l don't know
there is use in mincing matters—without,
first or last, civil war. That is our motive.
Now, what are their fears ?—fears which I
don't wonder at their feeling if they have re-
ason for them—first, the fear that the interests
of Protestantism will be damaged, and secondly,
the fear that the English Church will be en-
dangered. Now, first a word or two upon our
motive. Our motive is that we don't believe
that the union with Ireland can be preserved
while the Episcopal Church remains the Estab-
lished Church by law, unless we continue to
govern Ireland by force ; and what does that
mean ? By terror. The Irish are a high-spirited
people, and among them civil war may break
out at any moment. Only the other day, Mr.
Disraeli congratulated the Lord Mayor and his
guests on the state of Ireland. I don't congra-
tulate you on the state of Ireland. Mr. Disraeli
and his colleagues did all they could in the
House of Commons to alarm us about the state
of Ireland. But why do I say this will be the
case ? I come to that opinion because, in con-
sidering this question, I have had to look deep
into the real meaning of the union between
England and Ireland. That union is not, in
the minds of the Irish people, and ought not
to be, the conquest of one people by another.
It ought not to mean the absorption of one
nationality in another, but the union of those
two nationalities upon common grounds—upon
terms of political equality. Can any one say
that while we keep up by force the Episcopal
Church, the Church of the minority in Ireland,
a Church which would be instantly swept away
if Ireland was an independent country, that
the union with Ireland is preserved upon
terms of political equality ? All that Ireland
asks in the matter is, that in questions which
specially affect Irish interests Irish feelings
shall be considered, and if Irish feelings are
considered in any matter, or upon any ques-
tion, then most of all upon that question which
lies deepest, and ought to lie deepest in men's
minds—that of religion. If we are to carry
out the principle upon which alone Irish
patriots can accept the union—that England
and Ireland be united together as England and
Scotland are, and be one imperial country for
imperial purposes, but that with regard to
specialspecial feelings of each
of
fthe
threepurP kingdomsosesthe shall be consulted, then
we shall feel that Irishmen have a right to
a fair union, or that
it so long as we impose
tushapyeoy willntltihaetni not tli n
this
consent
nChurch
which they dislike.
That was their motive—the oreservation of the
Union by peaceable means, and not by terror,
and not by the necessity of using force.
Now for the fears of the opponents. The
first fear was, that the interests of Protestantism
are in danger,—" Well, now, I care for Pro-
testantism—hope none of my Roman Catholic
constituents will object to me if I say that
I am as much opposed to their form of
Christianity as they can possibly be opposed
to mine—but I don't believe that the interests
of Protestantism have been advanced by the
Protestant ascendany. I believe they have been
immensely injured. I believe that of all the
schemes you could have set to work to spread
Protestantism in the country you could not
have adopted one less likely to effect that
object than that. The advocates of Protestant
ascendancy have succeeded in damaging the
interests of Protestantism, and the result is,
that whereas in almost every other Roman
Catholic country in the world there is a very
strong party of Roman Catholics against the
Ultramontane views which, I am sorry to say,
are now held at Rome—such has been the
effect of our policy in Ireland that there are
few Catholics in Ireland. who don't belong to
the Ultramontane party. I am told, " Oh,
you don't know what will happen ; read the
letter of Dr. M'Neile, and it will show you
that disestablish the Irish Church and you
will have the canon law, with all its per-
secutions and horrors immediately." Does
Dr. M`Neile suppose that we men of the House
of Commons have no power ? Does he think
that because we are going to make the law
just in Ireland we are going to make it subser-
vient to any religions denomination ? Depend
upon it he will find it will be even more impos-
sible that the canon law should come in force
in Ireland after the disestablishment than it
was before. I will tell you what it is that does
endanger Protestantism—at least some people
think it does ; I am not so alarmed as many
of my friends, but the danger to Protestantism,
if there be any, is not the attack upon the
Irish Church Establishment. It is what hap-
pens within the bounds of the English Church
Establishment. What is the great principle of
Protestantism? The principle that the priest is
to have no power—no spiritual power; that the
relation between man and his Maker is not to be
interfered with by another man; that although
man may forgive crime,, man cannot forgive
sin. This is the principle of Protestantism.
That principle has been attacked within the
English Church—l am not now talking of
ritualism, or vestments, or incense ; they are
but tho signs—but that great principle of
Protestantism has been attacked within the
English Church, and, if there be a danger at
all, that is the danger. I will at once admit
that I don't believe that is a danger to Pro-
testantlem, because I believe that the heart of

the English people is true to Protestantism.
But now for the other fear—danger to the
Church of England. Who are the enemies of
the Church of England ? Not Mr. Miall.
Well, lam speaking comparatively—l would
not attempt to mislead you by saying he is a
friend of the Church of England—but he is
not an enemy compared with those bishops
and clergy who are making the men through-
out the country who are friends of the Church
of England ask this question—Are we sure that
the State Church will remain a Protestant
Church, because, if there be any danger of its
not remaining the Protestant Church, we, as
members of the State, can have nothing to do
with a Church that is not the Protestant
Church. That is the question which many
friends of the Church—for instance, the Me-
thodists—have been asking in a way which I
would advise all friends of the Church to heed,
and to consider that as their danger, and not
what Mr. Miall or the Liberation Society may
be doing. I will say here what I said in the
House of Commons—l said it in the House
of Commons where the majority agreed with
me ; I will say it here where probably the ma-
jority do not agree with me—that I should be
sorry if by any action of those within the
Church or without the Church the English
Church came to an end. And I will tell you
why ; not because I think there is any very
great advantage in the bishops being in the
House of Lords—not because I conceive that
in the present state of society and civiliz ition
an Establishment is necessary. If I were a
colonist, I should probably do as other colo-
nists do, be they Whigs, Conservatives, or
Radicals—have perfect equality in religion ;
but as England is now constituted and cir-
cumstanced, I believe the clergy of the Eng-
lish Church do great good. I should feel that
if the Church were disestablished and dis-
connected from the State, a great engine of
good would be removed. I consider that engine
of good to be the parochial system. I believe
the fact of having a man in each parish—it does
not apply so much to you as to the country
parishes, though it applies to you, for look
what Dr. Hook did at Leeds—but I believe that
the fact that there is a man whose business
it is to look after the welfare of his pari-
shioners is an enormous advantage, and, in
the present state of society, I should be most
loth to do without it ; but compare. the paro-
chial system in England as it is, and as it
might be if the Church still more did its duty,
with what it is in Ireland, and I wonder from
the bottom of my heart why the friends of
the English Church wis'a to tack upon it the
Irish Church. There is the parochial system
in England, which does good ; in Ireland it iq
impossible, in most parts of Ireland it is an in-
sult. How could a man look after the spiri-
tual interests of his parishioners when an enor-
mous majority of them are taught week by
week to believe that he is a heretic? It is a
glaring anomaly, and I say, who are the real
friends of the Church of England—those who
wish to separate the Church of Ireland from
her, or those who wish to make her indissolubly
united with the Church of Ireland ? I have
heard men say in the House of Commons it is
the Established Church of England and Ire-
land, and no power ought to dissolve that
union. If it was right that no power could
dissolve that union, then a question would
come before many of us which, as friends of
the English Church, we don't wish to be
asked ; we should have this question then to
solve—we should be told hatt the two Churches
must be united, that the English Church could
not be separated from the Irish Church, and
believing, as I do believe, idhat it cannot be
maintained in Ireland, except first or last at
the point of the bayonet. We should then be
obliged to ask ourselves this question—" Is
the English Church, with all its blessings,
worth preserving at that cost ?' I say the
friends of the Church ought to be very careful
before they put that question before us, and I
believe they are feeling that at this moment,
and it is because they so feel that we find so
little response to that appeal of the Bishop
of London to the 20,000 clergymen—which
he must regret he ever made—and therefore
1 say I am not the less a friend of the English
Church because T argue with all my might for
the disestablishment of the Irish Church."

THE FUTILI7Y OF INVADIIVG CANADA.

(From the Anglo American 2 hne,s.)

The correspondent of the Standard, writing from
New York on the Ist instant, describes an inter-
view with the Fenian President, General O'NEILL.
There is something supremely ridiculous in such an
interview, considering that O'NEILL is supposed to
be at the head of a secret conspiracy to carry illegal
designs into effect which may involve great losses
of life and property, and be attended with unfore-
seen political consequences. The correspondent
asks for an interview, proceeds to the headquarters,
and sits down with the chief conspirator to discuss
the plans, making notes, at least in his memory, for
one of the most widely circulated journals in the
world. The correspondent, who is evidently a
shrewd observer, left the "President" impressed
with the conviction, not from what he said but his
manner, that he means mischief, and that the inva-
sion will soon take place. A question put was very
pertinent, and one we would like to have clearly
answered. " Finally, I ask him plumply, what he
hopes to gain by attacking the people of the pro-
vinces. S:r,' says he my principle is that every
Englishman is an enemy to Ireland ; that when an
Englishman is assaulted anywhere the whole na-
tion must feel it; and I think that England will
never be brought to her senses but by this con:-
tinual attack. England understands force, but
she does not care for discussion. Socially, I think
that the Canadians are very respectable people,
and I have no personal grudge against them."
O'NEILL is in such ta'k fencing, for there can be, ac-
cording to our light, but the one object, to involve
the United States in a war with England. In this
we believe the Fenians would eventually be suc-
cessful, if they could but keep the game up, and
America would learn what Irish emigration had
done for the United States, after years of the most
devastating and bloody contest. If a split in the
States, led to the frightful loss of life and treasure
entailed—a split in the Anglo-Saxon family must
cause worse results ; each section possessing enor-
mous resources, great endurance, and much pride.
Perhaps no war was ever fought for a greater and
better object than that of the North, for it meant
the unity of a continent and the freedom of a race.
It was this that gave to the invaders the energy and
perseverance which eventually brought it to a suc-
cessful close, overcoming the determined opposition
of the invaded, whose spirit and dash were naturally
aroused to defend their country. If the Feniane
gained their end, the war that would ensue would
enjoy the distinction of being the most causeless and
aimles3, and it is in this that we might look for the
best chance of its speedy end. Mr. MAGurttE, Mr.
GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN, and others, have spoken
of a sharp, quick, and wicked war, ending with
the downfall of England. The downfall of
England ! Why, if the whole world com-
bined, and gave all their energies to it, such
a result could only be produced by time —a time
that would wring the very hearts of the nations en-
gaged in the attempt. If a comparatively poor,
scattered people, without mechanical resources,
without credit, and without a marine, could for
years withstand the efforts of a population three
times as numerous, with good credit, with vast
fleets, and immense mechanical resources on their
borders, how can these writers imagine for a moment
that the concentrated energy, population, and
wealth of England could be crushed by any means
known to the world? The folly of a war intended
to effect anything in Ireland would be quickly
shown to be as absurd as if England undertook
to give a civil government to the State of Nis-
sissipi i. No doubt hundreds of vessels would be
sunk, hundreds captured, towns would be bom-
barded, Canada perhaps overrun—but %%hat effect
would all this have on Ireland ? We venture to
assert that there would not even be a repetition of
the late contemptible rising in that island, and that
Irishmen would form a very large portion of the
regiments and crows with which England prose-

cuted the war. Then, to sink and destroy ships,
to bombard cities, and to desolate Canada would be
the end for which Irishmen in thousands would
fall on each side. When the nations took
stock it would be found that they were insolvent,
for so great would be the addition to their already
burdensome debts that they could not bear the
increase, the more so as the addition would be ex-
pended in destroying their resources. The corre-
spondent says that if this unspeakable calamity
occurs " the English people will certainly have no
reason to enumerate among the causes of the catas-
trophe a want of patience on their own part. I take
it that few nations would submit with equal equa-
nimity to the irritations perpetually put by Ame-
rican citizens upon England ;" and he goes on to
show what would be the case if the provocation
came from Englan 1. Although this is forcibly put,
a main element is omitted. England does not, and
cannot, forget that the provocation is not American
—it is Irish—that the theatre is the United States,
but the actors are men reared under her own flag.
It may be unfortunate, but it is true that English
acts have caused the discontent ; and though these
acts were of a bygone generation, a nation has no
more right to immunity from the bad dee Is of their
forefathers than they have to profit by their virtue,
valour, and success. Knowing that England was
in fault, Englishmen feel they must bear with the
waywardness of a race so deeply wronged. To
drive these people to America which. has been the
final effect of their legislation, and to com-
plain of Americans because the emigrants con-
spire in the land to which they have been driven
against those they consider their oppressors would
be unreasonable. Doubtless there is some cause of
complaint in the countenance the conspiracy re-
ceives from the authorities in the United States;
but this is precisely what occurred in England dur-
ing the American civil war, and mare than aught
else does that recollection shut the mouth of com-
plaint. Had it been deliberately planned by the
United States, although a bitter revenge, it would
still be unworthy. They were United States citi-
zens who made England the theatre of hostile ope-
rations against the United States. They are Bri-
tish citizens who make the United States the
theatre of hostile operations against England. The
British Government excused their delay in sup-
pressing these operations by the thelaration that
their free laws did not permit them to interfere
until these laws had been openly infringed. The same
excuse is made by the Government at Washington.
A bad feeling was engendered in the United States
by the course England pursued during the war.
The American paper the Standard so often quotes
says, in its number of July 25 —" The seeds then
sown have borne evil fruit. The hatred' against
England is deep seated in the nation. A war with
her would no doubt bepopular, and many Americans
look with complacency to such a day of reckoning."
On the other hand, Englishmen, if that were the
universal feeling in America, would respond by
instantly throwing down the gauntlet, for they
argue if they have to fight, the sooner the better.
But this is rubbish, for what have they to fight
about ?or what could either expect to gain ? We
daresay the railway thieves, the horse robbers, and
the gangs of brigands whom the citizens of some
States are now lynching unmercifully, would rather
enjoy a war, as well as the mass of the naturalized
Irish, and a number of young men who have a taste
for adventure, but none for honest labour. People
in conversation speak loosely and express opinions
and intentions, which they dismiss at once in prac-
tice. Even in Congress the greatest absurdity in
this way is often talked ; but, however numerous
may be the firebrands, there are plenty of sober
citizens ready with buckets of water to extinguish
them when they show signs of bursting into flame.
We have to pull through this year, and things, we
feel confident, will then settle down into a more
peaceful and prosperous state, with a new President
in the White House, and a new Parliament in St.
Stephen's Halls.

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

(From the Springfield Republican, Aug. 1.)

The glut in the money market continues. At Now
York call loans on Governments are made freely at 3 per
cent., and during the course of the week even as low as 2
per cont. There is a disinclination to take long paper ;
prime discounts on short time are made at 6 to 7 per cent.
At Boston money can be had on call at 4 per cent. In
discounts the banks give the praferonco to paper which
matures before next quarter day —that absurd and mischiev-
ous bugbear to our finance. The general range of prime
piper is for 6to 7 per cent. At Chicago, tho banks report
a light business doing, aid a constant accumulation of
country balances. The lumber trade continuos to call for
money, but not, as .vas expected, enough to produce even
ordinary tension in the market. Call loans on Govern-
ments are negotiated at 7 to 8 per cent., and prime produce
paper is taken readily at 10 per cent. At Cincinnati the
supply of currency is ample, and the market continues
easy at unchanged rates. Paper having 60 or 90 days to
run is•preferred to short-dated. Between bankers and de-
positors 8 to 9 per cent. are the leading figures, but in
open market 10 to 12 is charged. Some loans were made
on call at 6to 7 per cent. At New Oileans the demand
for discounts is still very small, and good city paper is
readily taken. Country paper is almost invariably re-
fused, owing to the social and political condition of the dis-
trict. Call or short loans on solid security are made
easily. There is plenty of money, but great caution in
its use.

Gold has risen steadily during the week, closing at its
highest figure, 141 k. We had expected it would be at 145
by this time., That it will reach this point, we have
no doubt; and should not bo surprised to see it
working up still higher. Gold for cash delivery is
easy. The New York Times, which has steadily
fought against the advance in the premium, says :
" The importing merchants generally are quite con-
fident that the present high premium on gold cannot
be maintained through the fall months, and they
aro harrowing both gold and exchange in preferenee
to buying for their present wants, on the basis of 143 to
1131 per cent." The grounds of this confidence we fail to
apprehend. Gold unfortunately does not at present mea-
sure our products, and so does not rise with them ; but it
has some uses yet, and a certain amount of it is required
to accomplish them. The stock is being constantly and
rapidly drawn down; why should not the price rise ?' The
following aro the quotations of exchange :—London, 60
day.,,, 1101 ; London, sight, 11011 ; Paris, long, 5.13 to 5.121 ;
Paris, short, 5.101; Antwerp, 5.16 to 5.15; Swiss, 5.1 G to
5.15 ; Hamburg, 361 to 361 ; Amsterdam, 411 to 41-1 ;
Frankfort, 41 to 411 ; Bremen, 791 to 80; Berlin, 718 to 72.
Governments have risen slightly during the week,
following gold up slowly. The demand for export con-
tinues, and Five-twenties are shipped largely for exchange.
Secretary 31'Culloch has notified holders of Seven-thirty
Treasury Notes falling duo July 15, 1868, that the time
for the conversion of these notes into Five-twenty Bonds
will cease August 1.
The railway market has not been of decided interest
this week. Toledo and Wabash made a strong upward
movement, reaching 51 ; but has declined to 511, under a
pressure to realize. Erie has been more active, and
a large amount of stock has been purchased during
the week by parties supposed to be in the interest
of the new "direction." North-Western touched
85 this week, but has gone down to 82. Border
States have shown rather more activity. North Carolinas
aro lower. Missouris higher and firm. Virginias are du
and depressed under the failure to reconstruct. Tonnessees
were advancing well at the close at the week, but the
proposition to fund the coupons caused a decline, on
Thursday, as has already been indicated in our telegraphic
columns. The Legislature unanimously passed resolu-
tions admitting the inability of the State to pay the in-
terest accrued and accruing, and proposing to fund the debt
with all interest coming due within three years, into thirty
years six per cent. bonds. This is certainly bettor than
nothing, better than to have matters drag along as they
are. Funding debt and interest are sometimes the only
resource of corporation, or States in difficu:ties, and it has
iu rare cases resulted fortunately. It is an extreme mea-
sure, but the holderg of Tennessoes will reasonably prefer
it to the present condition of things—no pay and no apo-
logy. Express stocks have been more active during he
week, though without improvement in price, except Wells
Fargo, which has advanced to 271. The import entries at
New York for the pest week amount to $5,888,083, against
$5,220,852 same week last year. Export clearances of do-
mestic produce, $2,633,195 against $3,892,321. Export of
specie, $1,463,249 against 3,491,960. The gold values of im-
port entries of foreign m ,rcliandise at N ow York since Jan. 1,
1868, amount to $141,441,165 against $152,863,873 ; de-
crease, $11,419,703. Tile currency value of the exports of
dorneetic produce and miscellaneous goods from New York
since January 1, 1868, $93,922,911 against $109,441,535;
decrease, $18,618,591. The exports of specie of all de-
scriptions from New York since January 1, 1868,
858,981,539 ag tiait $18,543, 386 ; increase, $20,439,153.
The d 'liveries of California gold and silver at New York
since January 1, $14,282,4 02 against $15,955,870 ; increase
$3,326,532.
Cotton has further declined to 291 for middling up-
lands, against 321 a few weeks ago. Three million bales
is now quite generally given as the total of the coming
crop. If so, the decline is sufficiently accounted for, and
cotton may stay at or near 00. But we do not believe the

crop will be three million bales, or anything like it. In
1867 it was inside of two millions. The breadth planted
this year in the majority of States was even less. The
yield per acre will undoubtedly be better, but not enough
so to account for the difference between two millions and
three. We believe 2,700,000 bales to be the outside
figures, and that in fact 2,500,000 will be as much as can
be realized.

The dry goods market, the past week, has been mode-.
rately active for the season. In no department is the de-
mand as yet sufficient to make quotations interesting or
valuable. It is clear that there is to be a good fall trade,
and that dealers will have an opportunity to revenge
themselves for the scanty sales of the spring. Business is
likely to be active enough to give the retailer his profits
on goods which he can turn quickly, but the condition
of the great staples is such as to make manufacturing
more uncertain than over, and prices are so precarious as
to make it extremely undesirable to hold large stocks of
goods. Wool still rules low, but the indications aro
rather towards a rise. On its own merits alone it
has .probably touched the bottom, and present prices en-
courage buying. There is an increased activity among
the manufacturers, and woollen goods generally are a
trifle higher. Boston reports the boot and slice trade
very active and large, shipments being made west and
south. In provisions the market has boon steady, with
little doing. In breadstuffs there is little to note.- Choice
brands of ,flour have bettered themselves a little during
the week; but the lower guides aro dull and depressed.
Bye flour and corn meal have made a slight advance.
Oats are higher, with unfavourable advices from the
coming crops ; barley dull under the promise of a large

NEW YORK, Friday Evening, July 31.

Money continues very easy, and borrowers, en call, aro
steadily supplied at 3 to 4 per cent. on railroad collaterals,
and at 3 per cent. on Governments.
Discounts are active for first-class names, at 6 per cent.
for 60 to 90 days' paper ; at 6f per cent. for four months,
and at 61 to 7 per cent. for six months.
Government Stocks are heavy, principally in conse-
quence of the weakness of the London market, and have

Gold is very excited, and opened this morning at 145},
thence falling to 1441, rising to 1151, and finally closing
at 1448.

American silver is selling moderately at 6} to 7 cents
below the price of gold. Mexican dollars are mostly
nominal, at 1031 to 104 in gold.
Foreign Exchange is vary dull, and there is little
doing. The failure of the old-established Exchange
firm of Abraham Bell's Sons has not excited the
slightest surprise, those knowing the outside opera-
tions of the house calculating to a certainty their down-
This failure should be a warning, and we trust that
it will so prove.

market in heavy amounts, and there is almost a panic to.
sell.

Mining Stocks are very flat, and there is little doing,
except in New York (of Colorado), the price of which,
after having advanced to $1 20, has receded to $1 10.
Petroleum Stocks are in good demand, and many stocks
aro daily inquired for, which have not been mentioned
during the past three years.
