PARLIAMENT AND THE RtsH CHURCH QUESTION.
LONDON, April 13.-At meeting OF the con-
servative members Of Parliament, held last
night, over two hundred attended. Disrael'
was present, and made speech, in which he
indicated the future policy Of the party in the
Irish Church question, and announced amend
msnts which would be ''roposed by the oppo-
sition to the bill now pc ing in the House OF
Commons.
This amendment is in effect that grants
made 10 the Irish Church since the reforma-
ton ara to remain intact; that glebe lands be
retained by their present holders without pur-
chase, and that the union Of the Irish Church
and Church of England cease in 1872.
Important notifications to the financial Sec
tions Of the bill are also proposed, including
the establishment of a capitalized sum for the
support of the clergy, Of annuities, and the
application Of large sum Of the church reve'
nues to the support of public worship and de-
fray the expenses Of the management OF the
church. Finally, an effort is to be made to
have all clauses in the bill referring to the
Msyneoth grant, regium donu'n stricken out.
Disraeli's plan was favorably received, and the
proceedings of the meeting we're marked BY
much enthusiasm.

tion to sweep from the continent tho last
yestipe of mOnarchical domination. Since the
news of the insult to the American flag, involv-
ed in the seizure of passengers from an Amer
lean brig, the feelings OF Borle and Cresswell,
and perhaps other members OF the Cabinet,
have been turned more strongly in the channel
of Cuban sympathy, and moro vigorous policy
has been urged upon General Grant. Leading
senators and representatives, among the latter
General Banks, have waited upon the Presi-
dent and Secretary Fish, and counselled an i'm
mediate demand of satisfactory exclamation
from Spanish authorities. But Fish still hugs
conservatism to his bosom, and repeats his
timId warnings about the dangers OF war
with Spain, England and France. He tastes
that he has as vet received no official informa-
tion concerning the alleged outrage, and that
in the absence OF such knowledge he cannot,
with proDriety, act.
In striking contrast with this slow coach
policy OF Fish is the practical course OF Vice.
Admiral Porter. He would not wait for his
subord mates to send along their dlspatc hes
whenever it might suit their convenience, but
Immediately telegraphed to Admiral Hof to
make report of the facts connected With the
supposed outrage, aud to promptly adopt such
measures as the national honor might demand.
In the first place, Porter don't hesitate to pro-
clam on which side a.e his sympathies. and
in the second place. he believes a national in
suit should be avenged without the interven-
ton Of red tape. The VIce-Admlral, II he had
his way, would not only order his subordinates
to give the proud Spanard Fo5sie it he has in
suited our flag, but, insult Oh no insult, would
let 6libusters 20 away unnolested to the aid
and dellvcrance OF the Cubans. Porter thinks
the Cubans ought to be recognized, holding
that they are now in better condition than
the South was when Europe accorded her bel
lgerent rights.

4 TRAGEDY IN MARY1AND.
A Young Lady Deliberately Shoots Her
Bctrayer Dead.

The quiet village of Jarrettsville, Hartford
County, Maryland, was thrown into state OF
the utmost excitement and confusion by q
tragedy which occurred in its bounds on satur-
day evening last, about six o'clock.
Nicholas McComas, O young man, living
about two miles from the village. was shot,
and almost instantly killed, by MISS Martha j..
Cairns, who resides the same distance from
Jarrettsville, but in different dire ;tlon from
it than the house of McComas. The accounts
gwen OF the melancholy affair render it certain
that McComas seduced Miss Cairns over
wear ago, under o promise of marriage, and IN
January last child was born, which is living
at the present. time. Miss Cairns frequently
importuned McComas to fulfil his promise OF
marrying her, but by equlvoeatlons ana e4-
cuses he eyaded her requests until she teit TO.
ward him no other feeling than utter hatred
and aetermnatlon to ayenge her injuries. On
Saturday evening he had ridden into Jarretts-
vile for the purpose Of attending meeting
of m1lit;a COMPANY, Of which he was MEM
her. and at the time OF the murder was
in the yard at the rear OF the tavern. Miss
Cairns followed him to Jarrcttsville, and, ar-
rlvlng at the tavern, dismounted from her
horse. fastened him securely, and passing into
the LADIES' apartment, removed her riding
skirt, her hat and other membranes that
might retar1 her movements. Leaving the
ladies' apartment. with a Colts revolver IN her
hand, she walked directly through the bar
room. which was full Of men, aud stepped out
upon back porch which overlooked the yaro

from her. Tho bullet struck him IN the breast,
and as be reaIed wildly toward the pillars which
held up tho porch. she fired two more shots

piIlals of the porch and endeavored to sustain
himself by them, but weak from the rapid how
of blood from the wound, his strength falle9

directly up To HIM, and standing over
him fired the two last shots from her revolver
into his bolv, one lodging in his right leg, and
the other in the groln. Still carrying her re-
yuIyer in her hand she passed back through
the crowd OF men, who, as il stricken senseless
by the awful scene being enacted before their

thirty, and McComas was thirty seven years Of
age. Both the parties belonged to highly re-

in the social life Of the county. The feeling OF
retribution runs very hirh in the nelghbor-

side of Miss Cairns. McComas is supposed to

him, and the last two shots were probably fired
into his dead body. Some time since Miss
Cairns brought suit against McComas for
