FROM ENGLANp-IHE IRISH Olli Ron Dill
Cable dispatches of saturday SOY that the
suspensory Irish Church bill; was dis
cussed the evening before until A. NJ Mr..
Gladstone made a speech in behalf of the bill.
and moved its second reading. MIR. ia
thorne Hardy for the Government moved the
reading be postponed six months, declaring
that the bill was surprise and meant con-
fscation. 1t misstated the Queens reply To
the address of the House concerning the DIS
posal Of ecclesiastical patronage and robbed
the Crown Of some Of its greatest Ireroga-
tives, including the veto power. He aocrlh'
ed the origin of this movement to the enc
mics of the Church and State, and made an
earnest appeal to all Protestants to oppose
it.
Mr.. Disraeli defended the action Of the
Troy party in resisting the bill. The policy
which had created this measure was disas-
trous to the country, and its direct tendency
was to the abolition of both the Church and
State.
Mr.. Gladstone replied. He said the step
taken by the Liberal party was not hostile
either to Professionalism or the Church Of
England.
The debate terminated with Mr.. Glad
stones speech, and a division took place on
the motion that the bill have its second read
Ing, with the following result For the sec
ond reading, 3I5; against, 25S; majority,

ton was carried without division and the

Tie Platform.

The resolutions adopted by the National
Republican Convention on Thursday, will
commend themselves to every Republican ar
eminently worthy of assent and support.
They state explicitly the great principles of
the Party, and without partizan spirit.
There was much anxiety felt, lest the Con
yention should adopt some uttcrance on the
impeachment question, in the heat Of disap-
pointment naturally springing from the mn
expected result of the vote on Saturday pre-
vious. which after-thought and calmer mo-
ments would show to be unwise and hasty.
But the amendment offered by Gen. Coch-
rane, condemning in terms the Senator'S who
voted for acquittal, was rejected, and the con-
yention decided to say III few words that the
President was justly impeached and the vote
given for his conviction a proper one. Even
the New York Tribune which has howled
louder about the " recrcant Senators than
any one, pronounces the platform fair, tem-
perate. firm, Just and wise.
The Democratic press finds fault with the
platform naturally enough, as no pains
were taken to please that party in it-but
quite as much for not putting in some
thing particularly obnoxious against which
they could clamor with some show of reason,
asanything.

The CRETAN WAR.-Late advices from
Crete say that battle was fought on the
4th of April on the plains Of Heracleon, in
which 1000 Cretans repulsed vastly supe-
rior number of Turks, who Ne.e supported
by the regular Circassian cavalry. The Eng
lish man -of-war Trinculo witnessed this bat
tie. On the 9th of April the Cretans achiey-
ed another victory at Rhetymus. Other bat
ties took place at Setino and at Nelondaki.
In the latter the Turks had 400 men killed
and wounded. Sixty thousand Cretan iami-
lies in Greece were exposed to great misery
The Greek Government has SO far spent 49,
900, 600 to save them from starvation.

Bribery in the Senate.

The report of the Impeachment managers
gives definite shape to the rumors OF bribery
by which the acquittal Of the President was
secured, and seems to furnish ample founda-
tion for them. While the belief has been
general. with all who know anything about
it. that one vote, at least, was changed
from conviction to acquittal by the use OF
money, we have not supposed that the trans
action could ever be brought distinctly to
light, or the transacting parties detected.
Such corrupt and dirty business is commonly
too closely and shrewdly covered, to be de
fnitely traced but it would seem that the
managers have really secured evidence oil
the use of large sums of money to effect ac-
outtal, and they bring the matter home very
closely to certain parties. Further develop
ments will be waited for with great interest
by the country. While they may not affect
the result, which has probably been too gen
orally accepted as final to be now reversed,
they Will, if they prove what is thus fore
Swallowed, give all the moral strength OF
conviction To lack but one vote Of convic-
ton by two thirds vote of the court, and to
have secured that vote by bride of $25 600,
raised by the g Whisky ring of specula-
tors and defrauders, is re damaging, NOR
ally, to the President, than full conviction.
