The Great Ministerial Defeat in England.

The overthrow of the Tory ministry under
Disraei. almost before it had become warm in
its seat of power is an event OF gravity only
euualled by the success of the measure which
1t has carried.
The disendowment ofthe Established Church
in Ireland, which is part and parcel OF the
Church of England, is tantam0nnt to an eccle-
siastical revolution. The suddenness OF the
action; the calm and overwhelming majority
by which it was pronounced; the decisive pub
lie sentiment demanding it the splendor OF
the scene in the House when the party OF pro.
gress rose in its might and asserted the right
of free people to support or not support their
own forms of religious worship-all invest it
with grandeur and importance second to no
event in English history since the Revolution.
II is the second blow in a new revolution
The first we announced last week, in the aboli
ton of compulsory church rates in England.
We scarcely know which more to admire, the
manner in which this measure has been carried,
or the measure itself The Prime Minister
begged hard to have the great subject post
poned until the next Parliament, but Stanley :
motion to that effect was lost by majority OF
sixty Mr. Gladstone, the great leader OF the
Liberal party, and the purest as well as the
wisest of living English statesmen, submitted
the following resolutions:
|. That in the opinion Of this House it is
necessary that the Established Church of Ire
land should cease to exist as an establishment;
due regard being had to all personal interests,
and to all individual rights Of property.
3 That, subject to the foregoing considera.
ton, it is expedient to prevent the creation Of
new personal interest by the exercise of any
public patronage, and TO conGne the operations
Of Ecclesiastical Commissioners of Ireland to
objects Of immediate necessity. or involving in
dividual rights, pending the final decision of
Parliament.
3. That an humble address be presented to
her Majesty, humbly to pray that, with a view
to the purposes aforesaid. her Majesty would
he graciousy pleased to place at the disposal
OF Parliament her interest in the temperatures
of the archbishoprics, bishoprics and other
ecclesiastical dignites and benefces in Ireland.

NOTHING TO SPARE.

One of the habits Of many people IN our
churches which calls for reconstruction from
bottom to top is that which relates to gtrtag.
What was the custom in the days of our pros
perity? We speak not of all, but the remarks
to be made apply to multitudeS, to the great
majority. The state of the case was about
this: They laid scheme which included the
attainment Of certain worldly objects, and II
these we're accomplished, If so much land could
be obtained and other property, if their chi
dren could all be well settled and provided tor,
then if any thing was left, it would be so little
they could hardly miss it, and mite was con-
tributed to the support of religious objects
That is to say these claims are needed only at
ter all other demands are attended to. Is not
this plan of holding ON for our own use to all
except very small portion for God, one of the
plague-spots OF the Church? This was GER
tainly true of the mass of our people in the
days of prosperity. They gave but pittance
TO the cause of Christ; they were so busy lay
ing up treasure for themselves, that they had
almost nothing to spare to spread through the
earth the knowledge of him who laid down his
life for US.
And now since deSolatiOn has swept over
their property, what is still the case? Many,
we admit, have been brought to something
like right views of the whole matter. Many
are living with strict economy, and are eonScl-
entiousy giving what they can. But how Is it
with others? Are there not all over the land
families much reduced indeed In their means
who are still trying their best to keep up the
old exsrayagaut style of living? Ii Is painful
TO witness the process. Instead of cutting
down expenses to the lowest, they are keeping
them up to the highest point, but after all sue
coed no farther than to reach the elevation OF
the shabby genteel, about the most equiv
oeal and unsatisfactory Of all possible condi
tiOns.
There is no class in all the community so to
be pitied as well as blamed. They make kind
of ''unearthly huttering" TO keep up appear
ances, but cannot hide their real condition
They are, in consequence ofkeeping up habits
beyond their reach of income, always pressed
aud in debt, and no wonder they have nothing
to spare.
One thing is plain, and so plain that it can
be demonstrated 1t is that Notwithstanding
the reduced circumstances of our people, We
have the ability to bear all the expenses of the
Church from beginning to end-to support it,
enterprises, aud do it well, And it will be el
fected molly and fully whenever We learn to
put the kingdom Of God before everything
else, and to feel that for this, above everything
else we must live and make sacrifices, aud tina,
such things as are really needful for US, our
Heavenly Father will add to our portion
Whenever this Is done it will never be found
among cur Christian families that they have
nothing to spare.

The latest news from Mexico is dis
couraging The unprincipled action
of her leaders is productive of sorrow,
as it prcsupposes revolution after revo-
luton, until some political moral is
arrived at She makes contracts, and
when she has realized the considera-
ton she refuses repayment, and at
tempts to cancel them. One leader
enters upon the administration ofthe
government to annul tho acts of his
predecessor. Juarez is base enough to
rcpudatc the obligation he contracted
TO make him President. Forgetting
that he was circumvcnted by a well
regulated foreign army--driven to the
extremity of no status whatever in
his own contemplating to the
people of the United States for emf
grafton and financial aid, he now
shirks the contract which made him,
and evades its terms with dishonesty
SO degrading that civilization must
reprehend him. If he does not change
his course, tho timeis not distant when
revolution will see him Peon instead
