(Hear, hear.) My pre pose in legislating wish regard to the land would be gradually, but I hope also rapidly, to restore to the ulation of Ireland, to the skilled farmers, or to those among them who save money, to restore to them the proprietary right tn the soil of the country.

(Hear, hear.) In saying @ few words on this question of the Estab- lished Church in Ireland I have a sort of wish for a moment, if you forgive me, either that you were all away, or that your number was doubled and that the new comers consisted of an equal number of what I will call faithful, earnest, Christian men of the Pro- testant Church in this country—(hear, hear)—because 1 think they are the persons to whom argument 18 necessary to be offered on this great question. (Hear, hear.) It you were flve hundred of these faithful an‘ honestly minded Protesiants of whom | have spoken (and there are many hundreds, and I hope many thousands of such in Ireland—(hear, hear, and cheers)—although they are quiet, and we hear litle of them in this contest—(hear, hear)—yet, iff had them here I should ask them several questions and wait their answers to them; and I think they are uestions which honest and Christian men amo: them would find it very perplexing to answer. Would ask them whether they now, looking back over the dismal fine of modern irish history, approve of the ecclesiastical arrangements made for this country by England three centuries ago’ (Hear, bear.) T suspect there, are very few faithful and honest minded Protestants in Ireland who would say that they approve of those arrangements. (Hear.) T would ask them further, whether they thought the present condition of the country, in reference to that question and to the my opinion of the whole irish nation— whether the present condition of the country is satis- factory or not? I have stated in the House of Com- mons that although the Irish census gives the num- ber of nearly 700,000 Protestants in connection with the Established Church, that making deductions, which are necessarily in Ireland far smaller deduc- tions than those necessary to be made in England, 1 am certain that the number of those who attend places of worship in connection with the Established Church—men paying any outward deference to re- ligion in connection with that church—will not be ore than 500,000 persons, (Hear, hear.) And those 000 persons have provided for them by the State— I will put it much below the rea! amount; but cer- tainly it is more than £600,000 per annum. (Oh! and hear, ear.) At the time of the introduction of the Church Temporalities act, in 1834, the whole of the revenues of the Irish Church were estimated by Lord Althorpe at not ess than £800,000 a year; and some of them I think must have in- creased since, but there wasa diminution of about twenty-five per cent connected with the sale and commutation of titles, which occurred some tite afterwards. I think, therefore, | ara reckoning below the mark when I say the income of the Established Church will be about £600,000 a year, (Hear, hear.) But if the State were to provide With equal profuse- ness for the whole religious bodies of the population of the United Kingdom, it would take an annual sum of at least £30,000,000 to provide for the families of the three kingdoms’ religious services, with the Same degree of profuse generosity which has been and is now exercised in Ireland. (Hear, hear.) These 500,000 persons—and i am merely using an argu- ment which I have used before—but it brings the subject home so much to @ inan’s mina that I think i may repeat it—these 500,000 persons are not more than the population of Glasgow or Liverpool; and what should we all say if the State, for a population like that of Glasgow or Liverpool, establisied ten or twelve bishops, with from 1,600 to 2,000 clergyinen— Victoriv’s Health Received in Silence—Mr, | 50me of them profusely, and generally all of them Bright's Irish Election Platform, Cork, July 16, 1868. The long talked of déjeuner to Mr. John Brignt of Birmingham, the guest of the benevolent Mr. George Peabody, who has been invited to enjoy the sport of salmon killing on the “Amazon” of Ireland, at Castle Conneli (rather an odd amusement for a Quaker), came off yesterday in Limerick, the city of the “‘vio- Yated treaty” and the third hotbed of Fenlanism, @fter Cork and Dublin. Although Mr. Bright has been invited to the city of Dubiin he has declined to accept the invitation. In Limerick the Catholic priests were remark- able for the number which were present at the enter- ment. The chair was taken by Alderman Quin- Ativan, justice of the re of spol Duararce, Bishop Butler, of Limerick; the Catholic Dean of Limerick, Mr. Barry, the liberal member of t for ee and the present members of Parliament for the city of Limerick, Messrs. Sy- Ban and Kussell, on account of Parliamentary busi- eas and prior engagements, both of whom “are professed liberals, were particularly noticeable as conspicuous by their absence. Mr. Bright occupied a seat on the chairman’s right, Mr. Peabody, the American piilanthropist, ‘the one on the lett. @ galleries of the house were Crowded by the fair sex. The chairman having without any ceremony pro- Posed the health of the Queen, which was received nd drunk in silence, The Chairman next introduced “The guest of t! ay,” (Mr. John Bright), which was received wii fepeated cheeri and drank with immense enthu- Giasm. Silence baving been restored a eneey gies from the Corporation of the borough of merick and on behaif of the citizens of the city nd county of Limerick was presented to Mr. Bright, lau him “to the skies.’ Mr. Bright, on rising, was received with loud eers and every demonstration of enthusiasm. hen the applause had subsided he said:—Mr. Chairman—When I accepted the invitation of my id friend, Mr. Peabody, to visit the banks of the jhannon | had no intention, no expectation, of tak- ing pert in any political gathering.

Lonpon, July 15, 1868, The ohief topic of conversation in London at present is the extraordinary heat of the weather. After months of an unusual and dangerous drought, which has injured the crops, increased mortality and which threatened to cause all sorts of diseases to aflict us, we have at last been favored with a little rain; but the heat has actually augmented after the showers, and we are now sweltering as New Yorkers do in August. Such weather has never been known in England before, and the only way that philoso- phers oan account for it is by adopting the Hzratp’s theory, that the Gulf stream has altered its course.

Pais, July 10, 1868. It was a delightfal féce, truly, The weather was alittle unfavorable in the morntng before it knew it was the Fourth of July. The clouds came rolling on from the east and frowned awfully till they iowered over the Bois, when they espied some straggling par- tles of bright-eyed American girls, coyly standing up wader the shelter of big trees, and then it became aware that there was a grand national celebration of their countrymen and women in Paris, Of course the clouds could but roll back like a curtain making way for the sun, so courteously that the latter acknowledged this mark of attention by uniting its golden rays with the rain drops, and thus natare wags both washed and dried by a friendly process for the happy anniversary. It was a pretty sight to benold the aged, renderea grave by the memories of the past, led on to the Pre Catalan amid gay sporting children, all buoyant with anticipations of the future. On they‘came, by sixes and sevens and by threes and fours, and when they got to the Pré, which was placed at the service of the colonie Americaine by the olty of Paris, they dis- persed over the soft undulating lawns, on which tents had been erected and decorated with velvet hepglngs, gold fringe and bushes of exotics. The genuemen of the different commitiees named for the general management of proceedings deserve a special mention. There had been a committee for refreshments and the buflet was well provided; a committee for amusements and the music was excel- lent, especially Waldtenfel's band and the execution of the ‘Eil Creve’? quadrille; there was a special committee for the children’s pavilion, and how they colored their games, while their elder sisters and brothers flirted in a separate department, those elders could only appreciate by comparison. As to aitire, some came in all the splendor of for- tune; nothing could be good enough for Indepen- dence Day; for instance, Mra. Downing, who pre- sided, was in a wonderful trianon of snowy muslin, elaborately iniaid with wide Valenciennes, Her pouf hat was made of Valenciennes, She was, in fact, all lace. Miss Harbeck, too, was in mauve under white organdi. One of Dr. Sims’ daughters was in the loveliest n costume, made of two shades; another in claret poult, under a square bodiced over tunic, Then thet ere bine frilled petticoats under black iace or black tafieta, most fancifully trimmed nd cut in points or testoons. But all were fortu- ely not dressed in the last fashion. Some came a3 reasonable people do come to rejoicings—in what they wear at home—and none the less pretty were they. Independence in dress is a grand idea. ‘The display of flreworks at nine was cheered en- thusiastically, but the great success of the day was Dr, Chapin’s ‘oration ou the celebration, It was a pathetic address, enough to stir up all sorts of hero- ism in the soula of his hearers until the next Fourth of July, when your correspondent hopes to hear such another speech again and mark how lovely bine glances are when dimmed by gears of patriotism, how much brighter than pearls the big drovs whicit coursed down the ruddy cheeks of youth; how re- freshing to one inured to spectacles of weeping at dramatic performances the sight of grown men dash- ing from their eyes the moisture that would gather and start when the struggle of their fathers was re- called. General Dix was, like a father of the whoie colony, to be inet where mirth was merriest, The deference all experience for him and his high posttion here is ever mingled with a more genial and familiar feeling by Americans. Lalmost unwillingly turn from national fashions to the Hotel du Louvre, where the little Queen of Mohélie is now located. She is the strangest little sovereign I have ever seen. The only European article of dress she has been prevailed on to adopt as yet is a pair of high boots on pointed heels, fram the Kue Montorgueil. She can scarcely get along tn them, but if she prefers commencing civilization from the lowest extremity upwards it is decidedly better she should hobbie than not commence civiliza- tion atall. The icone however, is whether really she was not civilized before she took to high boots. We ail know Parisians call other nations savages, Now, this bit of a Queen, H. M. Fatouma-Djombé, speaks French without the slightest savage accent, and she is as graceful as a creole when she has no boots on, Her tiny little figure is all wave and Oriental indolence certainly, but when she leans on the arm of Commander Passat and bows right and left I rather suspect she is an adept at jascination and that must be one of the higher branches of. civilization. No one seems to know what she has come to Paris for with her deceased husband’s son, her female attendant, her steward and tutor. The facetious say she has come for the Exposition of 1867, only one year after time, which i4 not much behind for a majesiy from the eastern coast of Africa; others that she has a favor to implore of the French government. Be that as It may, her first object on ar- riving atthe hotel was to have a rousing fire made,aud she sat shivering in a leopard skin while Chevaliers thermometer marked thirty-one degrees in the Kue de Rivoli. Then she took a bath and her steward had wo cut the neck off a live chicken before it was roasted for her dinner. When she was dressed she appeared at table in ascariet peplum, Turkish trousers, tight at the ankles and striped with gold, and @ real diadem, having a blue gauze veil which she drapes most tastefully from the back round her chin, jeaving a great deal of the soft gauze to wave behind among her ebony tresses, of which she has a large quantity. Her eyes are black, her lips beautifully formed and her teeth like pearls. Her skin is yellow. The first fright she has experienced was occasioned by—a velocipede. Panthers, tigers and boas being datly occurrences, she thinks no more of ther t! we of victous cats; but that two-wheeled thin, which a dandy sat in pear! gray kid gloves and shiny boots was too much for her, and she shrieked aw- fully, covering her ears with her hands, as if that would stop the daddy long legs. Her first oficial visit was to the Marine Minister, whither she went in state attire, composed of a tunic of golden cloth, a peplum of the same, most eccen- tric looking jewelry of diamonds and gold, and the eternal diadem which she puts on as soon as she gets out of bed—perhaps because it is 40 very becoming w her. There is no accounting for the great sword which her son always carries before him lke a cai die, unleag all the chickens her steward has to kill are an excuse for his long weapon. ‘The Queen of Mohéli’s visit to Fontainebleau ts looked forward to hye pews curtosity by the Court. A very agreeable and social shooting party was lately given at the chateau. Prizes were awarded to the most skilful, and Prince de Metternich carried off the grandest. It was a diamond pin presented by the hon see The Empress only came in for an honorable mention, Princesa Metternich got nothing but abuse, and the Imperial Prince a toleration prize. ‘The following were the prettiest costumes on the shooting ground:—An apple n suit of two shades, the under one darker than the upper, skirt having three ruches of the light color all round. The top _ looped with silk ornaments made like fans, je same on the waist behind, under a fichu havi a ruche trimming; @ rice straw hat turned up on bot sides, with appie blossoms and leaves, shooting gloves with amazon cuffs; worked linen collar and rined A more el it costume was a glacé silk, shotted with light pink on Sévres blue. It was cut pure Louis XV., much ruche and frill round casaque light to the waist, with the exception ofttwo deep folds down the back. A hat with high crown (now the great style), trimmed with the rose and thistie. A third was buttercup poult, glacé with white, also considerably covered over with bows and frilled on the cross. A perfect labyrinth of bows is now the sensation, They are placed on every material in strange shapes, such aa diamonds, crosses and slants; when made of satin and placed on lace frill they are — regal trimming. Another favorite trimming is the goffered flounce. They are usually of three different widths. Bodices are much worn, open down the front, with lace chemisettes underneath and lace bow cravats on the neck. Garibaldis are worn open down the left side, in- stead of down the front, and that opening is trimmed with lace ruche, @ very becoming style for slight ures. ne Lamballe fichu, worn on low bodices and tied behind on the waist, is another improvement on the old fashioned berthe.

There is no part of New York where one who knows the city would prefer tating a stranger to afford him a just couception of its wealth, fashion and luxury than to the vicinity of that plece of thorough- fare, with its parior fooring, running off Fifth avenue at Fifty-ninth stress’ and into the Park, On-no other part of the island is the pedestrian furnished with 30 excelient a standing point to ob- serve the best features in the splendid procession that winds in and winds out of the Park through the livelong hours of these summer days. Nowhere else does the horse display show to better advantage. All along Fifth avenue it oftentimes resembies a hasty funeral procession; but when brick and brown stone are left behind and the green trees come into view and the warm breeze comes tempered over the spreading lawns, and the hoof of gray and bay and black and sorrel no longer paws the dry, hard, heated pavement, the scene ia changed, The horses dance over the asphaitum floor; landau, phaeton, rockaway, and barouche roll with delightful ease and harmony into the avenues of the Park; the ladies look additionally animated, and, in fact, everything looks lovely, and even the spirits of the poor pedestrians rise high. Ratéling from the region of brick and mortar and in among the trees, where he is instantly lost to view, comes Mr. Hornby, with his pair of fine brown steppers and light, neatly finished wagon, followed by Mr, White, with his pair of long-tatled bays, to a handsome phaeion; Mr. Squires with a pair of very fast sorrels; Judge Bull, a fine sorrel to a buggy wagon; Mr. Skidmore, scudding along with a pair of sleek, even-stepping bays to an open barouche; Mr. Frist, & well matched and elegaut pair, with open barouche; Mr, West, to the tune of nearly 2:40, with his pair of trottersand on buggy; Mr. Mathison, top wagon, rattling at the heels of a pair of blacks; Mr. Clews, in puaeton, behind a pa of bays; Mr. Stout, on his fast brown pacer; Colonel McEverly, long-tailed bay, sald to be as fast as the winged mes- sengers of the clouds; Mr. Brandon, happy in pos- session of lus barouche and pair of bays; Mr. H. Dexter, in phaeton, touching up his pair of bays with a master hand; Mr, Moller, in a dog cart, taking iteasy, with a cigar, behind his splendid patr of bays iliam Simmons, enjoying a merry time in his open barouche, in company with George Larry and John Simmons; Mr. Beach, holding with tirm hand his Nag-taiied pair of blacks, while the wheels of hia stylish looking clarence are barely visibie in their rapid revolutions. ‘The ory is “Still they come,” and in one long, an- broken line they charge down upon the avenues of the Park—splendid hor: splendid women, splen- did dresses—till the gaz comes bewildered and one wonders if there is ever to be an end to all this show and glitter. Now we have General Butterfleld bearing down to the great centre of attraction in a landau drawn by a well matched pair of blacks; but the day grows apace and waxes warm and the ladies, in all their glory, come upon the scene, handling ‘the ribbons with more than feminine dexterity, Mrs, Charles Hastings, apparelled a la. mode, moves fast and smoothly across the springing ‘earth, holding in hand a pair of sleek, ciean-stepping bays, drawing ndsome phaeton; Mrs. J.

And then, in the words of the lamented Ward, “such eye, such neck, such nose!"’ Rotten Row and Longchamps may exhibit more imposing style, more gayiy liveried nunkies, &c., but nelther of them can display such an imposing array of beauty.

Horee Notes. We learn from Buffalo that there are more fast trotters now at work on the track at that place than at any previous time. At Saratoga over one hundred race horses take their gallops every morning on the race course. Early risers see great sport. Some busybodies are trying te bring on a match between Mountain Boy and Lew Poettee at two mile heats. Hundreds of sporting men are taking advantage of the commutation system of reaching Buffalo in time for the great trotting meeting, which commences on the gsth inst. Mr. Dobson has purchased a bay mare with a strip in her face that is remarkably fast. It is wrong to bisb; but he should not go so fast when touts are about.
