The New York H,rdids London di.ratch
Of the 2lst inst, has the following;
The Die u Cdst.-lssue has been Joined
finally between the Lords and the country.
Intense excitement has prevailed all day In
political circles, consequent upon the abrupt
termination Of the debate last night. The
Cabinet has been In session all the afternoon.
A report is afoat Of great dissensions In the
council that Gladstone, Bright, Lowe, and
all the strongest members insist on the i'm
mediate withdrawal Of the bill, on the ground
that the obstinate resistance OF tho Peers to
its principles renders direct conflict between
the two houses inevitable.
"Some Of the members OF tho Cabinet,
Clarendon among them,l advocate more
moderate proceedings, such as letting the
bill take Its course and only abandoning \ al
the last moment. The Insulting language of
the Marquis OF Salisbury towards Mr.. Glad
stone, Joined to the large majority of the
vote cast against the preamble Of the bill,
however, show that the attempts at compro-
mise are useless. There Is little doubt that
Mr.. Gladstone will carry his point by with
drawing the bill Immediately. This will be
followed by speedy adjournment of the
House.
! Another session will be called TO meet in
| August, at which time the creation of u
| large batch OF new Peers will be sufficient to
overcome the present Tory majority in the
| Upper House.
Placards appeared to-day posted on the
walls, and headed "Shall the people or
Lords rule !" and calling g ns.s meeting
TO be held at Arundel Hall tonight. This
is to be followed by a monster opcn-air de-
nicnstration.
Rumors are ahoat that tho Duke Of Cam
bridge expressed openly his Indignation at
the radicallsm Of the Ministry, and hoped
that tho Queen would refuse to sanction the
coercion of the Peers.
This crisis promises TO open the ball for
sweeping reforms in England, commencing
with tho virtual destruction OF hereditary
legislation.
The Times says the Ministry is resolved to
preserve the Irish Church bill In spite of the
ma ority against 1t in the House of Lords.
Therefore the conclusion is that tho differ
ences between the two Houses In respect to
the preamble and the sl,ty-eighth clause do
not offer An insuperablc object to the pas
sage of the BILL

AN ISLAND FOR RENT-TERMs MoDER-
ArE,-.Anybody want II kingdom all for him
self, twice as big as tho Isle Of Wight, with
hills as high as Skiddaw, timber, fresh-water
streams, beautiful climate, varying only from
80 to rs degrees, and soil that will grow
anything Tho Telegraph of Friday says
there is such kingdom to let, to be had of
the British Government for moderate rent.
1t is the island OF Auckland, $50 miles south
of New Zealand, with no natives, and be-
longing TO the Colonial Office, which some
years ago leased II TO the Messrs. Enderby,
who leased II again 10 n company. The
latter failed TO pay the rent, and Government
accordingly took possession again. No fur
Their assignment has been made, and IL any
body wants to be sort Of king, and can get
forty or my laborers together, Lord Granville
will, we doubt not, make him lessee, COVER
nor, and parliament all together. He ought
to be rich enough to keep a steam-yacht
though, or he will be rather more secluded
than If he kept pike. If adventure Is not
wholly dead among us, that Island will be
taken up next year.-LoHio" Spectator.

THE UNITED STATES STEAMER SEMINOLE,
Commander Z. Il. Owen, which left Nor
folk, Virginia, on tho 18th instant, under
sealed orders on a secret expedition to the
Haytion waters, Is now understood to have
sailed for tho purpose Of capturing the Hay
fian prlvatocr Hero. This latter vessel has
long been preylng extensively on American
commerce In that latitude. 1t is stated on
seml-oflclal authority that the orders of
Commander Owen are to capture the Hero
md bring her at once to Washington. En-
gineers Smith and Van Cline, OF the Gosport
navy yard, number of extra officers, and
full crew and armament left on the Semi
nolo, and 1t 10 expected she will be heard from
shortly. The last heard Of the prlvateer was
that she was seen In Gonaives Bay with an
American schooner in custody, tho cap
tured vessel flying tho ST. Domingo flag,
with the American ensign beneath. Tho
Haytian priyateer Is also said to have large
amount Of specie on board, which materially
enhances the value of the prize among the
crow Of tho Seminole. Navy officers here
arc looking anxlously for further intellI'

DEAD.HEADs on THE PACIFIC RAILROAD
The Marysyllle (Cal.) Appeal states that all
the dlgnitarles of Congress, Eastern rail-
roads and newspapers arc rushing over the
international railroad with chalked hats, and
adds "The tax Is heavy, but the Pacific
railroad Is big thing on public land. If
there were less dead-heads on this road the
company might b. inclined to reduce the
rates for freight and ordinary passage,
which are at the present time eXtortlonately
high. The same might be said Of other
roads where the dead-head system prevails.
The practice, OF giving free passes to news
paper men Is especially wrong, for II is cal
culated to make the recipient unmndful of
the imperfectlons of tho management of
roads, so far as publicity Is concerned, and
to give the public an improper impression in
regard to the cause of accidents, tho compc-
tency of employees, the condition of the
tracks, bridges, &C., and to throw over rail-
road slaughters a veil Of palllatlon not war
ranted by the circumstances. Tho dead
head practice too frequently leads to dead
heads OF more melancholy character, and
should DO abolished on all railroad lines in
the country.-N Y Herald.

THE EXACT NATURE Of the present dispute
between tho Central Pacific and tho Union
Pacific railroads does not appear to be very
clearly understood by most of those who
write on the subject, and consequently by the
general public. The quarrel last winter was
in reference to the point of junction. This
summer the trouble relates to the Govern
ment bonds. BY act of last Congress II was
enacted that the point Of junction should be
at or near Ogden, and 1t was further pro.
vldod that tho Union Pacific should build
the road from Ogden to Promontory Point,
and that the Central Pacific should take that
portion Of the line at cost. The distance is
about fifty miles. The Union Pacific claims
tho Government bonds because they built
the road, and the Central Pacific think they
are entitled to them because they take the
road when finished. Congress will probably
have to legislatc further on the subject.

GEORGE B. vAsuoS AGAIN In the tole.
graphic reports of yesterday we had tho
news that George B. Vashon, colored, for
merly of this city, was duly admitted to
practice In the Criminal Court, In Washing
ton city. Our readers will doubtless well
remember the application OF Mr.. vashon
for admission to the bar in this county, and
the excitement and interest 1t created, cspe-
cially among attorneys. Some few OF the
latter-we may mention Judge Shannon, T.
NJ. Marshall, esq, and Col. T. NJ. Bayne-
spoke boldly for equal rights there as else
where; but the opposition was SO strong thai
the admission was denied on a legal bubble.
Mr.. Vashon had previously practlced in New
York and United States courts, but here in
old Allegheny, with her 10000 anti Demo-
crate majority, no was not good enough.
Now, In the capital Of the nation, where but
few years ago slavery existed, the right Is
accorded hlm.-Pms1urg Republic, July 20.
