FROM EUROPE.
BY CABLE.I

LONDON, March 20.-In the House of
Commons to-day Gladstone announced that
on Monday he would offer a motion that the
House go into a committee on the state Of
the Irish Church establishment, and said
when it was agreeable to the House he
would press the question. In the course of
the evening, Forester, a member for Brad
ford, alluded to the law in regard to the al
lesiance of British subjects, saying that
this matter especially demanded attention
in the bearing it had on the relation Of this
country to the United States. He thought
the time was now ripe for arriving at def
mite understanding. He explained the law
in regard to the right of repatriation, and
showed that at the present time two millions
of the Queens subjects were living in the
United States as American citizens in prac-
teal violation of the laws. 1t was the diff
ference which arose between England and
America in regard to the rights of adopted
citizens which caused the war of 1872. Now
the differences which still exist were counted
on by the Fenians as again likely to en-
broil the two nations and thus further their
reasonable designs. He urged Great Brit
ain to abandon her claim of life allegiance
IN the case Of emigrants to foreign countries
and advised the appointment Of mixed
to settle the question forever.
Sir Robert Collyer supported the views of
Mr.. Forester.
Lord Stanley addressed the House. In
speaking of the principles on which the
avs were founded he admitted that the
1ogma of natural allegiance was now OBJ
solete. He informed the House that the
had already made advances for
The settlement of the question at issue and
declared that they were willing to meet the
of the United States half way.
There were many difficulties in the. way of
adjustment, but he was happy to say they
we're not regarded as iusuperable. He
stated that the Foreign Office was now in |
with Mr.. Seward on the !
subject and concluded BY approving the pre-
position Of the member from Bradford.

disposition to assert the same through
tho action of the Union Committee of
that place, by denying a vote at the
primaries to such as are not willing to
enroll themselves as members of those
societies. Let the organization Of the
Union party Of Nevada be maintained
as it now exists until next November,
and we may with certainty depend upon
such clean sweep Of the political board
as was achieved in the Fall of 1864.
We have but to be true to ourselves to

THE SELF-PRoPELLEP.-The San Francisco
Times of March Dist has the following des-
cription of the self-propeller and her trial
trip:
For some time past Mr.. Robertson, the
ingenious inventor of the railroad track lay
ing machine has been perfeoting another
apparatus, whereby he hoped to utilize that
hitherto unrestrained force OF nature which
actuates the unruly waves in tossing about
those who go down to the great deep IN ships.
In other words, he formed theory that it
was possible to propel ship through the
water by proper application OF the motive
power of that water, and to prove that he was
in earnest, he set to work and constructed a
triple vessel on the principle above enumer-
ated. This novelty in marine architecture
consists of three distinct boats, or barges,
connected by means of hinges at either end
The center boat is supplied with side wheels
and a set of machinery. which are set in
motion, or ought to be set in motion, by the
aforementioned process The forward boat
and the after boat are provided with cranks,
which connect with the walking beam of the
engine in the center vessel. The idea Is, that
as the end boats rise and fall on the waves,
they will communicate to the engine motion
which will cause revolution of the wheels,
and thus propel the whole affair. Yesterday
afternoon the experimental trip was made,
the starting point being Meiggs' wharf. The
triple vessel did not, it must be confessed,
appear to be very obedient to the helm, and
having, by some mysterious process, which
looked a good deal like drifting, reached
moderate distance from the wharf, Slowed
broadsde on to the ebb tide, and swept ma jes-
tically out before it. A dense fog soon con-
cealed it from the spectators on shore, and !
many speculations were INDUCED in as to the
issue of the experiment. There were four
men on board, and all of them expressed
confidence in the success of the invention
but they did not expect to do much in the
waters on the bay, for the chief
beauty of the new theory is, thatthe rougher |
The waves are, the faster they must propel the
vessel. So they went outside the heads
Yesterday evening the result was telegraphed
@ the Merchants Exchange, land surprising |
The triple vessel, whether in consequence of
" some unforeseen omission in the machinery
apsized, when outside the harbor, and the
ew adventurous spirits who manned her
we're only saved from drowning by the provi-
ential interposition of the pilot Caleb Cur
is. which rescued and brought them back,
While the triple vessel was drifting out to sea
sh.en last seen. OF course the disaster does
ot finally settle the question. Il only proves
hat triple vessels, under certain clrcum-
tances, are liable to capsize, and, at all
vents, it has been trinmphantly demonstra-
ed that self-propeiers will 60 out to sea
,;th an ebb tide quite as fast as the tide

MINING PRosPECTs.-For some months
past considerable number Of miners have
been at work in what was formerly known as
the Argentine District, located in the hills
east Of Washoe Lake; these men have been
thus far very reticent, but we gather from
various sources, reputed TO be reliable, that
they have met with such encouragement as
justifes them in the opinion that there is
large amount of ore in that district that will
paw well for milling at the present tariff of
prices taxed by mills in this valley.-Easte'n
