Whoever has taken the trouble 10 watch
the progress Of the Irish Church Bill, from
Its first introduction by Mr.. Gladstone IN the
House of Commons t. it, present stage Of
passage in the House Of Peers, must have
noticed that all the real work Of opposition
and amendment has been done in the latter
body. With House Of Commons elected
avowedly On thir issue, and majority of
( ll6 in favor of it. it was obvious to the Con-
sentative party that nothing could be effected
against the Bill in the Commons and the
calm and moderate speech Of Mr.. DisIaeG.
as leader Of the opposition. when the Bill
was introduced. showed that his party fully
recognized this fact Accepting thesituation,
instead fprolongiug an useless conflict, they
allowed the Bill To pass with merely n0mi-
nal opposition, and left the dsagrceable work
of fighting it to the Lords. Strongly c1nse~-
yatiye, as such a body must necessarily be.
and dealing with ameasure which bore imme-
diately on the pockets and places Of many
members Of it, that House could not, never
theless, so violently oppose the national viii
when so emphatically expressed DIS it had
been shown in the elections, as to throw out
the Bill entirely. On the main issue. there
fore, the Peers gave way. allowed the Bill TO
to pass into Committee, and then commenced
to fight it in detail. Since it must pass. they
were determined to make it as unlike the
Bill which came from the Commons as they
dared Nor were they without a show Of
reason for taking this stand. 1t was pointed
out, We helieye-by the eminent lawyer Lord
Cairns, that while The country was bent n
the di>cstabli>hmcnt of the Irish Church.
and had elected House Of Commons pledged
TO the work, the details of the scheme were
unknown, the Bill had not been draftciwhcn
the elections took place, and in their moiif-
cations Of these details, the Lords were sim-

large class, who, while ,hey ACKNOWLEDGED

THE LAST RAILROAD SLAUGHTER.-A graphic
picture Of the Mast Hope catastrophe is drawn
by New York Horl3 correspondent lie says
the view was one of the mos. horrii and sieken
ing pectacIes ,lat mortpl eye ever looked upon
1t IS said that mother persisted til her three
young children in her arms, all being crushed
heplessly together by the teie,cop.ng Of the cars
When last seen she had gathered them all in her
arms aud thus. unconscious and wounded, they
were slowly consumed by the flames. The
young aud tender bones OF the little ores We're
quickly destroyed, and but a few shriyelled
pieces could be distinguished from the larger
pieces Of the mother. The remains # Rev. Mr.
Hl.l0ck make the best preserved relic Of human
i.y in the sad list. The limbs are gone, but the
uuus and head remain. The thigh bones pro-
trule through the crisn-buut flesh, and indi-
cate that she clothing on the cushion Of the
seat served AS some protection from the flames.
The position of the form shows that the BODY
rested easily iu the scat during the process Of
combustion. The skull, also, is quite perfect,
although the extreme heat had thoroughly driel
the bone. The sharp eiges around the top.
where it is broken, seem rs though there had
been a fracture. This leads to the theory that
when the car vas broken up, the tops Of the
seats were hurled violently forward, and some Of
th>se driving pieces crashed through his head,
Draining him and causing instant death. 1t is
thought that he WAS not burnt alive, but that he
died some time before the flames reached him;
view confirmed By Mr.. Weaton, the brother
in-law of Slr. Htllock, who states that
he saw Mr.. Ha'lock instantly killed The
unfortunate gentlemen was on his way to
Broome county, with his brother-in-law to spend
the summer with him, when he met his death
Tie testimony Of those who last saw the car
leads to the helief iha' nearly all the victims
were killed Or stunned in the first terrible crash,
and that none were actually roasted TO death by
slow fire, as was at first supposed

cable may be, they can scarcely he more hearty
than the rci iciag- Of she people Of Duxbury and
,hereabout- when they deserted the approaching
Chiltern and Scanlerea early on Friday morning
last. By twelve o'clock there were from 500 to
200 waiting and watching the approach Of the
fleet. The Sclndcrea, having finished her work,
was mile in advance, and anchored first, at
l.4j, about half a mile from tie shore. The
Chiltern, which had been paying out the shore
end, was soon up and anchored AZ O'Clock
Two hours Of preparation were consumed, when
the cable being all ready, the sailors. joined by
the enthusiastic citizens, effected the landing at
FIVE O'Clock, and at SIX it was spieel to the
land line, and all arrangements complete. The
first message sent through was one written by
Napoleon, and sealed up and intrustel to the
captain of the Great Eastern, to be sent at the
proper time, that the Emperor might jude Of
the correctness Of the working.
When tested on Saturday morning by the
engineers and consulting electricians, the cable
was found to be in perfect working condition.

bury and Brest is one-quarter Of a second The
manner Of working differs from any ether sys-

The Chicago Tribune says: Except during
the summer of 1865, such q wet season has
never been known In the West as that ex-
pericnced during the last five weeks. The
rainfall has averaged not far from one third
of an inch in depth per day In Chicago, and
some days the range has shown three qua
ters of an inch. With q wet season the tenn
pcrature has also been unusually low, and
there is little to remind us that midsummer's
day is past.
The whole area of what arc still called the
Northwestern States has been copiously
rained upon, though not to the extent with
which Chicago has been afflicted. The cx-
tent to which the crops will be affected by
this pluvial visitation is a matter Of deep
anxiety. Winter wheat will suffer to con-
siderable extent, as 1t Ia now the time Of har-
vest; the stalks will be tangled, making It
scarcely possible to gather the grain without
large proportion Of waste.
Spring wheat will sustain little or no
damage. The cool weather has been highly
favorable to a fine growth, and from the
largely increased planting, We may antlcl'
pate more bounteous crop than ever be.
fore. The great evil will be found In the
fact that the wheat will be beautifully mixed
with weeds, rendering 1t an awkward thing
to clean, and will also he liable 70 rust,
especially with sharp spell of hot weather.
The corn crop will suffer most heavily
The continued rain has drowned out the
roots in many places, and the second and
third paintings have been similarly ruined.
It is scarcely possible that our corn croT
should yield more than five sixths or seven
e.hths Of the average, and much Of that
secured will be In such a condition that Il
will BE- best fitted for pig feed; hence the
probabilities are that our next hog crop will
be full one.
The continuous rain has already operated
as most effective "bull' In our grain mar
kets. The price of corn has advanced rap
idly, having "gone up' fully twenty nv,
per cent from this cause. A lesser advanc,
has been experienced in wheat.
