Debate on Oh rch Matters In the
English House of Peers.
LONDON, July 14.-In the Chamber of
Peers this evening, Lord Cranmore read
the Archbishep's reply to the Church Asso-
citation showing tendency in the Church
of England towards Catholicism, and
moved that a committee be appointed TO
consider what |: gislstion is needed TO check
the evil. He supported the motion in
long speech, in the course of which he read
passages from the petition Of 4S0 clergymen
of the Established Church, asking for the
appointment of confessor and the restOra-
ton of othe. Papish practices, which refor-
nation abolished. Ha wanted to know by
what casuistry English clergy, holding such
doctrines, retained their positions in the
church.
The Archbishop of Canterbury said the
noble Lord had stated the question fairly.
1t was no wonder that popular feeling was
working upon this subject. There was
good cause for alarm. The power OF the
bishops to remedy the abuses should be iu-
creased.
The Bishop of Salisbury declared the po-
sitions taken by Lord C-anmore unasssil-
able, but he thought The motion inoppor-
tune. The confessional was so cntrsry to
British feeling that an attempt to introduce
it could only be considered wild and vision
airy. The 4S3 clergy who had signed the
petition constituted only q per cent Of the
clerical body of the church.
The Arch Bishop of York expressed the
opinion that whatever was done in this
matter should come from the church, not
legislation. He was therefore opposed to
the motion, but he declared he would make
every exertion to prevent the prayer-book
from becoming Romsnizsd.
The motion was then negatiYed.

Gen. Velarde entered Alcoy yesterday |
with a strong column of troops. The |
militia of the province had already taken

their arms. The riUgleaders of the revolt,
however, had escaped from the town before
VelaTde arrived. A detachment OF govern
ment troops q, Puerto La Reina surrendered

The CsrIists Gaining Ground.
BAYONNE, July 14.-Advices from Car,
list sources state that several thousand mus
kets had been landed on the coast of Bis
cay and distributed to Csrlst recruits.
The same reports assert that the supporters
Of Don Carlos are gaining ground with such
rapidity, and the numbers are so steadily
on the increase, that there is a general cry
from all Republican commanders in The
north for reinforcements in order to hold
their ground.
Mnssers OF the Situation.
MADRID, July 1.-THE Insurgents in
Carlegenar are masters Of the entire town,
with the exception of the arsenal. It is
feared that the latter cannot hold out long,
and with the ships in the dock, will fall
into the hands of the Insurgents. Coutne-
sas 10 reported to be the leader of the insur-
rection. The Minister of War left Madrid
for Cortegenas, but at last accounts was
unable to proceed beyond the station at
Palmas. -
