WHALLEY. In the third letter to Mr. CHICHESTER FORTESCUE the Earl RUSSELL of to-day describes Roman services with the enthusiasm of a Ritualist about to "go over." Ile defends the worshippers from the charge of idolatry, and describes, with a cogency that Dr. LINGARD might have envied, the long ages of injustice inflicted by Protestant England upon Catholic Ireland, in defiance of the most solemn engagements. No impartial reader of history can deny that there is much • force in the veteran statesman's accusations. No clear-sighted student of his own times will suppose that Lord RUSSELL'S proposals have the smallest chance of being sanctioned by the nation. It may be right for the English nation to endow the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland ; but that nation has refused to endow, and that Church has refused to be endowed.  gaining ground in Hayti.

She landed the London mails, 32 cabin and 19 steerage passengers, and proceeded for Liverpool.  Lord RUSSELL'S proposals with regard to the land are less impracticable. He would render absolutely illegal all tenures in which the tenant is liable to immediate ejection. That in itself would remedy half the wrong, would prevent the repetition of such flagrant outrages upon the public conscience as Mr. Sc ur.Lv's evictions, and such lamentable results as the subsequent murders. Lord RUSSELL'S praise of Mr. GLADSTONE does credit to both parties. His narrative of the events which led to the revival of the Irish Church question fully proves, as we ourselves have repeatedly proved, that it was not Mr. GLADSTONE who was responsible for this revival, but that it was forced upon him. We are not sure that we can go with Earl RUSSELL so far as to say that the revival was against Mr. GLADSTONE'S interests. Earl RUSSELL thinks that it would have been more expedient if the present PREMIER had re-united the Liberal party on some such question as Conservative extravagance, and had then dealt With Ireland at his leisure, It is  gCE. •ee o'clock.—The market  in'cllE "
