FABRICATION.
The dispatch about the massacre in Crete is
said to be an unmitigated fabrication.
SHORT TRIAL.
Mr.. Stanbery will open for the President,
and Mr.. Evarts will sum up the case.
No one now believes that the impeachment
trial will last fffteen days, and there is no
doubt that Andrew johnson will be removed
before the hrst OF May. The Presidents coun-
sci have asked for their first subpoena for a wit
ness and filled one up for Gen. Rousseau, now
IN Washington Territory, and another for
Gen. Steadman, at New Orleans. But If they
expect to get delay on that score they will be
disappointed, for the managers will demand
that they state what they expect to prove by
the absent witnesses, and they agree TO admit
that II these men were here they would so an
sWer. The managers will not admit their
statements as facts, but merely that they
would swear TO certain versions of the presi-
dents speeches.
NO LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS DURING THE TRIAL
There is barely quorum of the House in
washington, and it is not likely much business
will be done during the trial.

Gen. Hancock has asked for two DAYS more
time before taking command of the Atlantic
Department, but the President has refused to

pected that he would become involved in DO

LONDON, March 3O-Midnight.-In the House
OF Lords this evening Lord Malmsbury dis
claimed any intention of the English govern
ment to interfere in the affairs of Paraguay.
In the House of Commons petitions In favor
and against the Irish church establishment
were read Mr.. Gladstone after calling for the
reading of the acts of Parliament in relation
to the Irish church, moved that the House pro-
coed to consider them: He declared the time
had come when the Irish church should cease
to exist as State establishment. He would
give no details of the means by which this was
to be brought about because it was not the
duty OF the opposition to arrange them. All
proprietary rights should be respected. There
should no longer be salaried clergy, paid by
the State and connected with the church, and
a fund for the benefit of Ireland should be
created for the balance of the incomes of the
church. Mr.. Gladstone proceeded to explain
that the liberal party had not dealt with this
question because it had never before been pre-
sented to them in a concrete shape as at the
present time. Both parties, he said, weye ex-
cusable for neglecting the subject because the
public sense had not before been fully aroused
in regard to it.
He replied to the charge of apostacy which
had been made against him. Speaking of the
measures which should be adopted, he recon
mended that the churches and parsonages
should be left to the clergy. Those who chose
to maintain them should indemnify the owners
of the advowsons. After further arguments
Mr.. Gladstone closed with an appeal to the
House to take some definite action.
=. LORD Stanley replied, opposing too hasty &C.
ton in the matter, saying the House should
wait until the commission on the Irish church
should make their report, and concluded by
moving his resolution, Of which he gave notice
last Friday, that the subject be left over for
Mr.. Cranborne, the member for Stamford,
moved a resolution that the principle of dis
establishing the Irish church be settled now,
and the details be left to the next Parliament.
The debate was then adjourned.
