THE LIBERAL PLAN FOR IRELAND MIR.
Gladstone, the leader of the Liberal party
in England, made speech very recently
in Lancashire, in which he discussed espe
cially the proposed disestablishment Of the
Irish Church,. e., the abolition of the
Episcopal Church as government esta-
blishment in Ireland. In the course of his
speech he said:
"I suppose that if there be any friends
of Professionalism that are worth its having
they are those who are inspired by some
belief in its truth and if there be any
men that have any belief in its truth,
think their desire will be that the
Church of Rome, and the Church of Eng
and, and the Church of the Presbyterians,
and every other Church, under the circum
stances in which Ireland is placed, should
meet on fair and level field and free
from the odious recollections and the pain
full associations that must attend every sys-
TEN where the one party has necessarily
hanging about it the sense and the spirit of
ascendancy, and where the other carries
with it all the recollections Of wounded
feelings, resulting from oppression that last
ed for ages long. Gentlemen, the question Is
great issue for you to consider and to decide.
| think that we have done our duty in the
endeavor to layit before you. It's gravity is
not to be disguised. 1t is said that we, for
sooth, have made it party question. Well,
gentlemen, at oil events you know this, that
when we charged ourselves with the ques-
ton of reform, and when we found that we
must abandon either the question Of reform
or our Offices, we determined to abandon our
Offices. Loud cheers.l After that, we are
not to be driven back by these idle impuni-
ties. We have made our appeal fairly,
openly, in the face of day, to the people in
England to abolish the Church Of Ireland
as an establishment, with every considera-
ton that equity can give in the arrange
ment of the measures necessary for the exc
cution of our designs-to abolish along ecith
it every other fraud that inuolved The State
in the responsibility Of connection 10Th any
acknowledgements to establish no other
Church and no other form Of religious
teaching in its place, after We shall have
done all that equity and indulgence can re-
quire in winding up this great scheme Of
policy"

GENERAL BLAIR IN NEW YoRK.-Ne1o
York, October 27.-An immense mass
meeting was held this evening at Tammany

wiring from their adversaries the victory in
November. He favored generosity and
kindness toward the South. He desired this

AERArED BREAD.--In Baltimore, ba-

bread, or, in other words, light and whole
some bread made without yeast. In Phil

taken the place of ordinary bakers bread,
and several extensive establishments are
engaged in it's manufacture. We have par
taken of the article manufactured in Bal

claimed for it that it will not sour, and that
