The NEWARK STEAM MAN.-Mr. Paddock
Derrick has brought his {" steam man" to New
York, and will exhibit in Broadway, in q
building nearly opposite the ruins of Barnum's
Museum. This steam man ia I feet inches
in height, weighs 500 pounds, and measures
200 inches around the waist. The motion of
the legs is quite natural.
The abdominal regi"n is occupied BY good
sized furnace which was in full blast. The
boiler is concealed from the public gaze, but
it is presumed to be somewhere above the
furnace. The steam whistle is fixed in the
rear Of the hat, just above the brim, the gauge
at the back of his head and the safety valve
in an appropriate position. He wears large
stove pipe hat-stove pipe literally, for it is
through the Uranium the funnel passes. The
steam man proper is but the fisure-head, as
it were, of a ph1ton, capable of accommoda'
ting four persons, together with tank to con-
ten half a days supply Of water and bunker
for days coal. The entire driving machine
ry is at the rear of the steam man, and with
in easy grasp CT the driver seated on the front
seat, who, at any time, eau increase or dl-
minish the speed, turn, stop, curve, &c. Twen'
ty pounds of steam will set the men in mo-
ton, and twenty cents worth Of coal will
work him for day-so the inventor says
The engine is four horse power, and the man
takes thirty inches i'll each stride. Perhaps
the nest extraordinary attribute of the ami
| NAL is the faculty Of Stepping over all OBJ
struc;ions not higher than Il foot. The invcn
Tor proposes also 10 produce shortly steam
horse adapted to ploughiug and the heaviel
kinds Of draught and burden. In consequence
Of objections on the. part Of insurance COM
panics. the owner Of the building where tht
row i.,s.ntion is now exhibited refuses to al
low any a,nbulatory movements of the lror
man, aad he was seen yesterday in fixed po
sion. with the legs moving backwards ant
,orth. in short time the inventor will bt
able to show the machine in another Location
where free motion will not be prescribed. a
sooa as the weather vii! permit, the iron mar
will set out On his travels to Chicago, to dcni
,rac the entire success Of the invention
The visitors yesterday were quite numerous

TIE PROSPECTS OF EUROPEAN
PEACE.
lie ConStitutionnei-PariS, Aug. 90

lie C0nStituti0nnel-Paris, Aug. 23).
The words of the Emperor at Troyes
are beginning to bear their fruit France
is glinlng confidence in peace. The pub
lie understands that The Imperial words
contain the most positive assurance that
peace will not he disturbed. On the other
hand the news from abroad is most reas-
Surlng. Prussia no more than we has
any inclination TO e. to war. All the
other Powers have the greatest interest
in removing the threatening contingencies
of it. In the East as in the West, every
where where ''POintS nOjrS'' seemed 10
aldrml>tS to announce imminent storms,
the situation has grown more peaceful,
and the genius of peace has the upper
hand. Before such a concurrence of cir
cunlstanceS, before this new and solemn
affirmation of the peace of the world by
the sovereign of France, in conformity
wi h The wishes of the country, confidence
which has already revived has only to
follow its course and produce its natural
effects.
Industry may henceforih give all de-
sirabIe activity to its works; our abundant
savings need no longer keep to the timid
course of accumulation, sure as they are
to find, safe from any surprise, a profitable
use for their possessors, and for the whole
nation whom labour feeds.

The Royal Commission Report ON The Church
A Land Tenure Revolution in Prospect.
LONDON, August 4, 1868.
The ROYAL Commissioners who were commanded
by the Queen Of England to report to Parliament
on the working and condition OF the Irish Church
establishment have made their report. They recon.
mend the abolition OF all the Episcopal sees and
cathedral establishments in Ireland, except eight
to be maintained on reduced incomes. They also re-
port in favor OF measures to encourage tenants I'M
der church leases to purchase property in perpetuty
and to enable landhoders by the payment of
tthes and rent charges, to eventually redeem and
gain possession OF their lands
The High Churchmen and Gladstone oppositionlsts
denOunce the proposition conveyed in the report,
and assert that IL carried into effect it will be
direct violation OF the Act Of Union perfected be-
tween Great Britain and ireland in the year 1900.
The clause OF the act to which they refer is the fifth
which reads thus
That II be the fifth article OF union that the
Churches OF England and Ireland, as now by law
established be united into one Protestant Episcopal
Church, to he called the United Church OF England
and Ireland; and that the doctrine, Worship, disci-
shall be and shall remain IN fun force forever the
same are now by law established for the Church OF
England; AMI that the continuance and preserva-
ton Of the said United Church "a the Established
Church OF England and Ireland Shall be deemed and
taken to an essential aud Fundamental part Of the
union; and thai in like manner the doctrine, wor.
ship, discipline and government Of the Church OF
Scotland shall remain and be preserved AZ the same
are established by law, and by the acts for the
union OF the two Kingdoms OF England and Scot
land.
On the contrary the Gladstone men and Irish
Catholics say, unanimously that the sanction OF the
report by Parliament and the shaping OF its
mendations into legislative form Will constitute a
very ample OF justice to the people of Ire
land. They refer to the vast riches Of the Church
and call attention to the following figures, which
present the OF assets LEFT by each OF twenty
Irish bishops who died since 1922. The sum does
not include any real property the deceased may have
purchased nor any settlements he may have made
on members OF his family, nor any stock he may
have transferred to avoid legacy duty to avoid the
name Of having died too rich for a hishop:-
