ENGLAND. Mr. Disraeli to the Protestants of treland— The Premier on Revolution. {From the London Times, June 9.} A deputation consisting of noblemen and gentle- meen representing the Ulster Protestant Defence Au sociation and the Central Protestant Defence Asso- ciation in Dublin, together with their various branches throughout Ireland, waited yesterday upon Premier at his oficial residence in Downing street, for the purpose of laying before him resolu- tions passed by those bodies in reference to the pro- Posed disestablishment and disendowment of the irish Church, and of making statements in support of those resolutions. The following noblemen and gentlemen re pre- sented the Ulster Protestant Defence Asso ciation:— Marquis of Downshire, Str Edm ond Macnaughten, D. L.; Sir F. Heygate, M.P.; Sir J. E. Tennant, John Mu?holland, D. L.; High Sheriff Down, John M¢GtI- downey, D.L.; the Governor of the honorable the drish Society; Rev. C. Seaver, honorable Secretary; Rev. H. Henderson, Presbyterian minister; Rev. b: Macafee, Wesleyan; W. Ewart, and R. T. McGeagh. The other bodies were largely represented also. The Marquis of Downshire, having introduced the deputation, said that they represented all classes and denominations of Protestants in all parts of Ireland. In consequence of the recent attacks ‘upon the Lrish branch of te United Church Protest- ‘ant Defence Associations had been formed which had branches in various parts of Ireland, and they had come to resolutions which the deputation now sub- mitted to the head of her Majesty's government. The Rev. Mr. Henderson, Presbyterian minister, gaid he had, on behalf of the Protestants of Ireland, to urge upon the fovernment the adoption of a deci- ded, distinct and strong Protestant policy. (Loud cheers.) He need not say that there were different Opivions held among Presbyterians as to the Estab- Ushed Church; but a great majority of the ministers ‘of that Church had stood forth boldly in defence of it. (Cheers.) He had no hesitation, as minister of ‘that Presbyterian Church, in saying that he regarded ‘the Established Church in ireland as the great bul- wark of Protestantism in that country. (Loud cheers.) He was there also to ask the gov- ernment to give their continued support to the Regium Donum. (Hear, hear.) Employed durit fifty years as a minister in various parts of Ireland, he knew what the opinion of the Irish people was im reference to the question now under considera- ton. It was not in accordance with the fact to say ‘that Irish people would be pleased by the overthrow ofthe Church. The priests would be, but not the people. If that which was now contemplated was carried out it wonld lead to an increase of absentee- asm and emigration—(hear, hear)—and it would Smooth the way for the establishment of Roman Ca- Uholicsin in ireland. The Irish Church had the truth, it taught the Bible, and therefore it should be upheld. (Hear, hear.) [ ‘ade the Church and it might be that the Bible would be tal out of every country aris in ireland, and taken out authoritatively. hat Was now proposed was the removal of a great xara in favor of Protestantism, (Hear, hear.) *y ; hoped the day \ never come when the gov- ernment of Protestant England would think of en- dow ing the Roman Catholic Qhurch or of recanting Protestantism in the eyes of all the world. (Cheers.) Mr. Disraeli, who on rising was received with loud cheers, saicd:—1 need not assure you that | am deeply tifled, and } am sure my colleagues will be when T formthem of that important deputation which 1 ave the honor of receiving this day, and which rep- resents the whole of the Protestant population of Sreland—(cheeré)—which is not limited to one cburelt Or toany particular sect, Unt which, Ethink, from the various associations Which lave been delegated to appear here to-day, may ve plainly looked upon as representing the general sentiments of the Protestant population of Ireland.

And, gentiemen, lean assure you that, so far ast Protestant churches and the Protestant instirutio: of Ireland are concerned, you need have no fear th her Majesty's present government Will not stand them—(cheers)—and to the utmost of their edrorts support and maintain them.

On the 7th of June the Minister of the Interior of France addressed the following circular to the pre- fects upon the new Press law:— M. LE Prerect—In realizing the promise of Janu- The ne- cessity of previous authorizatton and the disciplina- Ty powers of the Minister are at the same time abol- ished. Henceforth the press will only have as its It will no longer be under tutelage. Henceforth it is incumbent upon the guardian of the seals to give detailed instruc- tions to the public prosecutors as to the execution of a law which only maintams the repressive action of the tribunals towards the press. But if the part of the administration is profoundly changed it remains none the less considerable; it is transformed and does not disappear. What is this part as towards the judicial authority? ‘What as towards the writer? In what degree shall you concur, a8 administrative power, tn the applica- tion of the new law? Brief explanations will suffice to settle upon these three points the character and the nature of your intervention. When the judicial authority has to begin a prosecution having a po- litical character it is essentially desirable that it should be in ment with you. It alone has to decide the question of legailty, but you will often have to give your opinion as to the question of op- portuneness. This situation implies that frequent Telations and an understanding will be more than ever necessary between you and the public Ministry. it also requires that you should not point out any article to the bar without having previously referred it to me, and that you should keep me fully acquainted with the phases as well as the results of every prosecution. Towards the writer, who does not come under the application of the repressive laws, you have a double duty to fulfil—the duty of sur- veillance and the duty of good relations. The duty of surveillance is indispensable to place you in a po- sition to rectify erroneous facts. The more the con. trol of the press is extended to the acts and inten- tions of the authorities the more it becomes impor- tant to establish its trath. a You have at your disposal either the communiqué, a direct reply to the journal that has led the public into error, or the contrary assertion inse: in another journal. These two methods of rectification sess No serious value save when they are made use Lege eg They only strike the mind of the reader when they put on a brief, a taking form, when they avoid the warmth of controversy and the length of discussion. They should confine them- selves to correcting the erroneous figures or the in- exact fact. As previously, you will be good enough to submit to me im advance every communique, ee with the article by which it is called forth, he bit of good relations is the best means of de- fence. It compromises neither the dignity of power nor the independence of the writer. You will un- derstand how to keep up these relations with all those who shall address themselves loyally to you. When essential questions do not divide us these re- lations may often ch the cause of voluntary rec- tifications. In bringing men closer together they may bring ideas closer also; they may, at any rate, obtain more justice in appreciating in- tentions; they may cause private wounds to be avoided, and may take controversy that aggressive character which sometimes separates men more widely than the contradiction of princi- ciples, You will have, M. le Prefect, to assist in the application of the law by watching over the execu- tion of three new regulations. These refer to the declaration, to the deposit, and to the authorization of special printing oftices, The declaration is to be made upon stamped Paper. It must precede the publtcation of the jour- nal by at least fifteen days, and must be accompanied by evidence establishing its sincerity. Article two sets forth all that this declaration must contain. ‘The declaration only gives the right of publishing a journal to those who are at the same time French- men and of full age, and in enjoyment of their civil and political rights. The declaration once received, you will deliver a receipt to the declarant, and you Will employ the fifteen days elapsing between the declaracion and the expiry of the term fixed for pub- lication in vertlying the capacity of the declarant. You will demand for this purpose Bulletin Ne. 2 from the judicial fie at the public prosecutor's office in the deciarant’s original domicile, You will first commn- nicate to me the deciaration, and ultimately the evi- dence you will have gathered as to the declarant in the course of this examination, The deposit of two copies of the journal, as pre- scribed by article 7, shall be made at Paris at the Ministry of the Interior. In the departments it must be made at the prefecture in the chief town of the departiwent, at the sub-prefecture in the chief town of the district, and at the mairie for other towns. One of these two copies must be sent eg yey the prefect, the sub-prefect, or the mayor to the Min- istry of the Interior (Departmental Press offiee). A similar deposit is required by the second paragraph of article 7 for the ofice of the Publie Prosecutor. In towns where there is no tribunal of first instance this deposit must be made at the mairie, and the mayor must tmediately send to the Public Prosecutor's office the two copies of this second deposit. You will be good enough to watch that these various de- posite are made with the greatest regularity. The more liberty {s extended the greater the necessity for rvetilance of the government. ry manager of a journal shall be authorized, when he may request it, to have a printing office re- served exclusively for printing his newspaper.

THE DRAMA IN ENGLAND, FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT. Lonpon, June 6, 1868. The morning performance at the Haymarket thea- tre for the benefit of the Royal Dramatic College, and under the patronage of the Prince and Princess of Wales, came off yesterday with great éclat, and will assume a very prominent place in the histrionic annals of London. The entertainment was given at the express desire and request of the Prince, who, happening to meet Mr. Sothern at a hunt, said to him, ‘I suppose that it would be impossible to have @ comedy performed in London in which every part should be filled by first class actors.” Mr, Sothern replied that he had no doubt that the idea could be realized if the Prince desired it. very much, indeed,” answered the Prince, ‘and if you will undertake to get up snch a performance, in any way you please, both the Princess and myself will be present.” Mr. Sothern then consulted with Managers Webster and Buckstone, and this trio selected the programme, apportioned the parts and decided that the proceeds should be given to the Dramatic College. two pleces selected: “I should like it The following is the cast of the “LONDON ASSURANCE.’’—Sir Harcourt Courtley, Mr. Benjamin Webster; Max Harkaway, Mr. E.

Farren. . H. Neville; Fixture, Mr. G. Belmore; Weathersby; Maria, Mrs. John The performances commenced at half-past one, at which hour the theatre was completely crowded by one of the most brilliant audiences ever assembled, comprising not only many hoblemen and ladies of rank, but the élite of the theatrical p#fession in England. The Prince and Princess of Wales and the Crown Prince of Denmark entered the royal box just before the end of the first act, and were received with hearty cheers, the whole audience rising and the orchestra playing the “Prince’s Hymn.” The prices of all the seats had been doubled, and the receipts netted over £400. Mr. Sothern ersonally directed the performance, and Mr. Dion Houcicauit superintended the rehearsals of his come- dy. To show the interest taken in the affair by the actors I may mention that Mr, Toote studied the part of Meddle expressly for the occasion, having never played it before, and that Mr. Ben Wester was at a similar trouble in regard to the part of Sir Harcourt. The events of the day, however, were the reappearance of Mrs. Keeley, after her long retirement from the stage, and the appear- ance of Mra. John Wood, who is regarded here as an American actress, and was thus doubly compli- mented by being invited to assist at such a perform- ance. - Mrs. Keeley was enthusiastically received and acted the little part Ne Sy with all 9 old spirit and iccess, and the ‘a, the English eatrical authority, says of Mrs. Wood that she “played the character extremely well, looked ene hand- some and sang with excellent taste.” So the New pose stage holds its own with the best London sta, As you have often had “star® performances of “London Assurance” in New York, and notably for John Brougham’s benefit at Niblo’s and at a morni rformance at the Academy of Music, it will interest he public to read a few comments upon the acting yesterday. Mr. Webster was not pérfect in the part of Sir Harcourt’and acted it very stiffly and stagily. There was no comparison between him and such American representatives of the character as Mr. Charles Fisher, the late Mr. Walcott or the late Mr. Kingsland. ir. Addison’s Max Harkaway was hearty, robust and excellent—just in the style of Mark Smith’s Old English Gentleman. Mr. Sothern’s Charles Courtley was capital, I have always be- lieved that “no one else can play thus rt so well as Mr. Lester Wallack; but 1. Sothern adopted the same view of the character and moat of Mr. Wallack’s business, and the result was a complete and deserved success. Mr. Charlies Matthews, the original Dazzle, acted per- fectly until the fourth act, and then fell off through fatigue. Mr. Dion Boucicault, who personated Dazzie in New York, is still without a rival in this part. Mr. Toole’s Meddle was ex: clever; not 80 good as Burton’s, but quite as as an since Burton. Mr. Irving's Cool was mediocre; Mr. Vincent's Isaacs was below medi ; Mr, Buek- stone’s eo 5) er was only a | the ladies, Mrs. Charles Matthews was ig A aS jelly race, ke 80 low as to be almost unheard; joore Was pretty, but too weak for the ,y in which Miss Agnes Robertson and the late Mary Gannon as easily eclipse her as Mrs. Wood and Mrs, Hoey eclipsed Mrs. Charles Matthews in Lady Gay; and, as I have said before, Mrs. Keeley, as Pert, carried off ail the honors, “A Roland for an Oliver’? was yield ren- dered; but the piece is weak, and comparisons are unnecessary. The Mr. Neville who appeared in it ia the famous original of the ‘Ticket-of-Leave Man,’ the Mr. Belmore is the original Nat Gosling in “Flying Scud." On the whole, I consider that the best London can do in the way of such a star per- formance is far below what New York has done and can do again on any special occasion, Miss Kate Reignolds ends her brief eny ment at the Prin to-night, and next week ‘The Corsican Brothers” and “The Streets of London’ will be re- vived together, Mr. J. 8.

The parties in the affair were Mr. George Clowser, @ citizen of the county residing tn Petticoat Gap, and a maa named Seacrist, a native of Georgia, but who has been living here for some time. It ap- pears that Seacrist was suspected of having improper intimacy with Clowser's wife, and on Wednesday morning Clowser pretended to start for Winchester, but upon returning found Seacrist and his wife to- ether in the woods. Being exasperated he fired on acrist, the shot taking effect; he fired a second shot, which killed him. He was then aboat to kill the. guilty woman, but she, throwin heck, begged him to spare her life for the sake of her children, He could not overcome this appeal.

Anne Graham vs. The Steamboat George Wash- ington and the Steam Ferryboat D. 8. Gregory.— | ‘This case was heard at great length in the District Court last March. Judge Blatchford on that hearing rendered a decision decreeing $10,000 to the libellant for injuries she had suffered in a collision between those two steamers in September, 1866. The Judge then held that the Washington should have stopped when she blew her first whistie, and was therefore at fault in not avoiding the collision. He also held that the Gregory wasin error in having changed her course from the Jersey ferry station to. her pier on _ the New York aide, and that the libellant had her two legs broken and sustained other corporeal injuries by which she is for life rendered unable to earn a living in her humble station of life as a domestic ser- vant, and hence he decreed that the com tion awarded was reasonable and to be epport joned be- tween the two steamers. To this decision of Judge Blatchford the claimants have appealed and the case is at ent this day before Judge Nelson in the Circuit Court, This spPeal hinges principally on two points, one of which is that it is alleged that the de- cree for $10,000 is excessive, and that whether exces- sive or not the Geo ashington claims to be exempt from Hapilty, much as she was right in her proper course; that the Gregory was at fault in devi from her ordinary and accustomed course from Jersey City to her pier. The Washington pleads that she could not imagine, nor could she form any conjecture why the radius Secepen ie cone of Gr Gregory on approaching her pier should form so large a seg- ment, and if this curve had not been so described the collision could not have occurred.

It has been certified to Judge Blatchford for his decision on the following facts:—The bankrupt filed ler petition on the 28th of January, 1868, and was adjudicated a bankrupt on the 29th of the same month. Her schedule shows trade debts to the amount of $1,563 32, of which debts to the amount of $1,073 47 have been proved. The assets of the estate, after the asstgnee’s and other expenses have been paid, show a bal- ance of $182 29 to divide among the creditors.

Morrison have filed satisfactory )roof of their said claim, ‘To this claim the creditors aad their assignee object, on the ground that the bankrupt ought to find means to pay the expenses of her bankruptcy proceedings from other sources, and that the claim is not, for the fees and expenses of suits and the several proceedings in panko under the act, within the meaning of the twenty-elghth section. On the other hand, it is insisted that the only unobjectionable course that lay open to them was to put in their claim for services in filing the petition, &c., and disbursements in the bank- ruptey proceedings as a preferred debt. The bank- rupt having no means of ‘paying them except out of the property which she was bound to surrender to her creditors, they were bound in fairness to deliver all up in the first place and then claim to be paid for their services and disbursements therefrom. They further state that their disbursements in the matter have been over $100, and that so far, at all events, whatever may be said as to their claim for services, their claim ts for costs in the proceedings allowed riority by the twenty-eighth section of the act. t occurs to the Register to remark that the conduct of Messrs.. Morrison, Lanterbach and Spingarn in the matter seems to have been consci- entious, pose more so than the course ordinarily pursued by solicitors in such cases, It is clear that the funds from which the solicitor is paid must come from what should be the assets of the bankrupt or from his future earnings. In pursuing the course here pursued the solicitor submits the amount of his compensation to the court under the eye of the credit- ors. In the course ordinarily pursued he obtains his compensation from the same fund, the amount bet measured by thfe good feelings of the bankrupt an: “under some temptation to give him a larger sum than the creditors would sanction or the court might think a reasonable compensation. If the act will bear thts construction it would seem to tend toa better pee than that which it is: believed now generally prevails. With respect to the above, Judge Blatchford de- cides as follows:— 1 donot think that the claim in question or any part of it, even to the extent of the disbursements embraced in it, is claim to be paid in full under section twenty-eight of tne act. e fees, costs and expenses named in the first of the five subdivisions in section twenty-eight are those incurred by and due to the Register, clerk, assignee and Marshal, and not those incurredsby the bankrupt or due to his attorney in the proceedings for services or disburse- ments in connection with such proceedings, Mr. Henry Morrison for the bankrupt and Mr. Albert Smith for the assignee.
