waged, not simply by our own country
men, but by the representatives of every
desnotism upon the earth, continued, an
armed conflict unmatched in the numbers
engaged in it, unmatched in the resources
which the parties commanded for four
consecutive years, and terminated only
as an armed conflict on the ninth day of
April, 1865, when the broken battallions
of rebellion under Lee surrendered to the
victorious legions of the Republic under

The debate in the British House of Com.
mons yesterday on the Irish Church bill was
the most important one of the present session.
Mr.. Gladstone, made mastery speech r
support of his resolutions for the abolition OIL
the Irish Church establishment, placing him
self on line with the most advanced members
Of the Liberal party on this question. .
Alter giving reasons for his past inaction, he
showed the necessity for the Immediate consid-
Grafton Of the subject. He dilated on the
great effect for good, which the termina
ton of the ascendancy of the Irish Church as
jealouses, and in mitigating sectarian bitterness
Now that the penal laws against Catholics
no longer were in force, the number Of Profess
| tants in Ireland did not exceed one.ffth Of the
population, and it was great injustice to com
| pei whole country to support Church fol
| the benefit Of so small minority. He praised
| the Roman Catholic clergy for their frmness
| and loyalty in opposing Fenianism. In regard
| to the measures for the disestablishment OF the
Irish Church, Mr. Gladstone said he did not
intend to press the question to final decision
before the new Parliament met, but he should
urge that the Government cease to make any
appointments to fill vacancies in the higher
grades of the Irish Church. After crticising
the proposed resolution of Lord Stanley to
postpone the consideration Of the whole sub
ject until the meeting of the next Parliament,
Mr. g. closed with 40 eloquent appeal to the
House to vindicate its character by it's course
on this important question now to be decided.
Mr.. Gladstone was loudly cheered as he took
his seat --
In his reply, Lord Stanley owned that the
Government fully recognized the gravity of the
matter The Ministry did not seek to shirk
the issue by trickery or management, as had
been charged They only wanted time to con-
slider the subject The resolutions before tbs
House were vague and general, and the plan,
as outlined by Mr.. Gladstone, was not at once
practicable. The disestablishment of the Irish
Church was one thing, and disendowment was
another. He complained that the member
had left them all in the dark. The House
should wait until the commission on the Irish
Church had made report. Here was ques--
ton which had been postponed for thirty four
years, and Mr. G.. wished to have it settled in.
day, and asked the House to commit itself
by pledges Was it right for an expiring Par
lament to leave this legacy of resolutions to its
successor 1t was done only to raise cry
which might be used in the coming elections.
Lord Stanley then endeavored to convict Mr..
G. of inconsistency on this subject, by quoting
from the records. He concluded his speech by
declaring that the Irish people cared more for
land than the Church question; and before
taking his seat, he offered resolution that the
whole subject of change in the Irish Church
establishment be left to be dealt with by the
next Parliament.
After speeches from several other members,
the debate was adjourned. l

The END OF A MIsER-Coroner Schlrmer
held an inquest this forenoon over the body OF
Peter Hendrickson, Wilett street, aged seven
ty-six years, native of New York, but of Ger
man extraction, by trade junk man, who was
found dead yesterday afternoon in his room.
The fact of his room door remaining locked the
entire of yesterday excited suspicion, and with
the aid of ladder an entrance was effected to
the room, when Peter was found lying on his
face on the floor quite cold in death. The
room presented most wretched filthy aspect,
and everything demonstrated that the occupant
was miser A wi5p Of straw had served tor
o bed and the filthy floor for table. The re-
mains oil Peters last meals consisting OF water
and stale, mouldy bread, were carefully laid
aside to serve for a breakfast which he was
doomed never to enjoy On the body OF the
old miser were found bank notes and green

Congress-.

In the House OF Representatives, yesterday,
the report of the conference committee upon
the bill to exempt certain manufactures from
internal tax vas aged TO- the blll passed and
that great expense was involved in the colec-
ton of the taxes for internal revenue purposes,
and directing the Committee on Ways and
Means to inquire into the expediency Of reduc-
ing the taxgathering force and so adjusting the
internal revenue laws as to require the smallest
possible force for the conduct OF the business,
was adopted. A resolution was also adopted
directing the Committee on Ways and Means
to inquire into the expediency of so amending
the revenue laws as to permit the transfer or
assignment of special license receipts, so that
successors to business may have authority to
continue the same on the old license. The
House proceeded to the Senate to attend the i'm
parchment trial, and on returning adjourned.

The Bishop of Havana has completely out
fanked the Captain General Of Cuba. 1t will
be recollccted the latter gave orders to send the
preate to Porto Rico by way of punishment
for his late offence The Bishop, however,
kept away from Havana, but asked General
Lersundi's permission to 60 direct to Madrid
This was pcremptorily refused, whereupon the
Bishop sent friend to Key West for the pur-
pose of telegraphing to Madrid the fact Of this
refusal. In two days the Royal permission was
telegrapkcI back to the friend at Key West
authorizing the prelate to 90 direct to Madrid.
General Lcrsundi is thus left powcr!oSs in the

Havana, where he will embark as soon as lie
sees fit. 1t is probable he will go via New

it is noticeable tha in publishing this appoint

here to have the marriage of Miss Patterson,
of Baltimore with Jerome Bonaparte, the bro
and to secure his share of the inheritance of
King jerome. The French Court, as was ex

ordered that Patterson be affixed to his name ;
of course this was applicable to the young cap
tain, who was serving in the French army, and
who was generally styled Bonararte Patterson.
Prince Napoleon, the uncle OF the young Off
