The moat adie aud tnduenfial of tie ad- vocates of che sevond reading, Lord Salisbury, urged his policy upon bis associates ou the plea that it would prove the most effectual means of securing: their common object, the virtual defeat of the bilt by the adoption of amendments that would destroy its vitality. “Throw the bill out now, and you meet the enemy,on the battle-feld he tas himself solected, and where he is secu: intrenched; send it into committee, and you meet him on the ground wave chosen for yourself, wl teries are placed and your ceaied. Other nobie Lords, while advocating the Second reading, consoled themselves by fierce as- saults upon Gladstone and his pet scheme; and on every side, from bishops and laymen, the avowed policy was todo indirectly very act wale oe dreaded to do directiy, It is evident, then, friendliness towards the trish bill om the Dart of the Lords has not been the cause of the Ro 4 rent ministerial triumphs in the Upper House this morning. Nor can the majority for the second read- ing be traced to conscientious desire on the part of the Peers to yield their own convictions or preju- dices to the expressed will of a majority of the peo- ple, since it hag been avowedly cast in the hope of thereby defeating the bill without incurring direct responsibility for the act. We must look elze- where for the explanation of this unexpected result of the tilt among the tory knight, in which the haughty creat of Derby went down before the craven lance of Salisbury, and the plain matter of fact is that we shall find it in the growing dread of the revo- luuionary tendency of the masses, AS soon as the pro- ceedings of the conference of Peers were made .public the whole press of England, with the exception of the immediate organs of the tory party, united in @ tone of menace against the House of Lords.

Believe me always, very truly yours, JOHN BRIGHT. Now this letter, although it contains nothing but obvious truths, clothed in the unexaggerated tan- guage of common sense, was in fact the main cause of the defeat of the boid policy of Lord Derby and the backing down of the most noble Peers of Eng- land from the haughty position they took at the Duke of Marlborough’s convocation two weeks ago. The piain words of the reform leader opened before the eyes of the exclusive aristocracy the book of futurity, and its lessons, read to dissolve the Senate in consequence of its having for the second time rejected the bill for the abolition of imprisonment for dept. The Court ts expected to leave On the 15th for Spa. Some princes and prin- cesses of the House of Orleans, and also the Grana Duke Constantine of Russta are to visit this place. It is said that all the persons arrested and Interro- gated up to this time in Paris make identical decia- rations as to the sums which they have received and the manner in which the latter were handed to them. ‘The distributors said, Vewr-te un balai #? (“Do you want a broom?) and on an affirmative auswer being given a sum of 12f. 50c. was presented to cach and they went to work. The infant Grand Duke Alexander Alexandrovitch, Second son of the Grand Duke, heir to the Russian Uhrone, has been named chief the 145th regiment of infantry of Novotcherkassk, which will henceforth take his Imperial Highness’s name. He has also been inscribed on the rolls of the regiments of the Guard Preobrajensky, of the Emperor’s lancers and hussars, of the battalions of sharpshooters of Fin- land and of the rifles of the imperial family. The Postmaster General was on the 15th sum- moned before the Lord Mayor for having refused to pay the poor rates due on the Post Office in Lom- bard street. The parish authorities asked for a distress warrant for the levy of the rate, but this Was refused by the Lord Mayor, and it was arranged that the legal bearings of the dispute should be sub- mitted to the consideration of tbe Court of Queen's Bench. During the Paris disturbances all the armorers deposited their arms at the Louvre and at the va- rious mairies of their respective districts, Thou- sands of percwssion cartridges were thrown in the streets by the crowd in the hope that the stamping of the horses would cause them to explode. E¢mond About is writing a work on the working- men’s unions, for which the Emperor of the French has paid him $4,000 in advance. He is also private correspondent to the Viceroy of Egypt, for which he 1s paid $8,000 per annum. Gustave Doré, the well-known painter, went out, like every body else, to see (he rioting. He was in his working clothes, that is, in @ blouse, and, eminent as he is, decorated and quite a personage, he was mistaken for 4 gamin from his youthful ap- pearance, Some of the despicabie individuals who sow money to reap disturbance were doubtiess led into error by that circumstance, for on Doré feeling some one touch his pocket he put bis band into it and found there a piece of five francs which he had never placed there. On the strength of his costume and face he was paid to aid in the riot. tn the lower house of the Hungarian Dict on the 1sth Count Andrassy was interrogated respecting the arming of troops on the military frontier for the conquest of Bosnia. The Hungerian Minister denied that any preparations for war were being made. He added that the Anstro-flungarian monarchy desired the maintenance of peace and would persevere ina policy of non-intervention so loug as others Powers did (ue same. ENGLAND. The frish Churéh BillmThe Action of the Lords—Mr, Bright’s Letter and His Policy ‘The Position of the English Charch—The Hereditary Peerage—Mr. Moticy and His Mission, Lonpox, June 19, 1869, Some two weeks ago the bold Barons of Great Britain asyembled at the residence of a noble mar- quis ayd with clenched fists and fashing eyes hurled deflance at the Commons of England, and avowed their determination to spurn from their House the bill of spoliation and robbery which had tor its object the disestablisument and disendowment of the Irish Church. But history loves (o repeat tiself; and a4, we are told ov undoubted authority, certain King of France many years since, at the head of 40,000 men, marched up the hil and then marched down again, 90 now the bold barons of Great Britain have descended from their high ground to the level of common sense and ordered the Irish Church bill toa second reading. At an early hour this morning, as the Hens» readers will already have learned through the cabie eapatches, prudence prevailed over passion, and the Lords, who were a few days ago se resolved to burl defiance in the teeth of Mrgfiladstone, sent his great measure of reform into committee, by the un- expected large majority of thirty-three votes. What has occasioned this breaking down on the part of the Poors? Has the exhaustive and certainiy able debate changed their opinion as to the fnerits of the Irish Church vill, and converted them from opponents into supporters of Its principles? Have they become convinced that it is inconsistent with the progress and enlightenment of the nineteentu cenvury to force any loniat church upon a peo- ple, and especially @ church in which only one- seventh of the population believes? Not at all. Those members of the Upper House who urged the second roading of the bill the most strenuously, and whose influence really brouglt about the result, were aisuuct and emphatic in their denunciation of the principle and the detatia of the measure, They de- clared it to be an act of spoliation, revolutionary in Me Guaragier, uniust ia ity operation and ruinous la in the light of the past, made them panse in their dangerous career. Here was a member of the British Cabinet writing to a liberal association a letter, to be read at a public demonstration and iutended to meet the eyes of all the people of Fng- land, ia which the House of Lords was described as a body “nut over wise,” but by whose “unwisdom” the peopie might profit, should it lead those acci- dental legislators, the peers, in their “infatnation,” to throw themselves athwart the course of the na- tion. What wonder that so unusual an occurrence shouid have blauched the cheeks of Lord Derby's foliowers, and have recaited to their mind the vatu- able adage which teaches us that discretion ts the vetter part of valor? ‘There are those who believe that the “unwisdom’’ of the Lords was never more consptcnously mani- fested than im the prominence they gave to this leteer by bringing it oMiclally to the notice of Par- liament and mai * it tue subject of a question addressed to the Minister of the Crown. By their vote this morning and by the speeches which pre- ceded tt they have themselves admitted that they dare not place themseives openly in opposition to the House of Commons, even on a measure which has been pronounced by a a majority of peers as revolutionary, dishonest and sacriligeous. Their object in arraigning Mr. Bright was no doubt to create trouble and dissension among the Ministers; but success in this direction would hardly com; te them for bringing the powers and obligations of tneir House under discussion. It is rumored, indeed, that Mr, Bright's associates are by no means unwilling to rid of him. A Cabinet minister wio cannot fot fis tongue, and is constantly rendering tt necessa: explain away his words in an official manner, is something of an ee sont to own. “But the question put by Colonel North to Mr. Gtadstone only gave the latter an opportunity to Say, tn a somewhar sigutt- cant tone, that while her Majesty's ministers had no nsibiigy for Mr. Bright’s letter, and did not feet cail pon to consider it, they were fully en- titlea as individuals to entertain their own views in regard to the sentiments to which tt gave utterance. In like maoner Lord Cairns’ more elaborate inquiry in the upper House ait ried Kari Granvilie the ocea- sion to retort upon tie Lords for their want of courtesy in branding the advocates of the frish Church bill a8 spolators, tuieves and dishonest politicians. It ts clear, then, whatever e‘forts may be made to conceal the truth, that tie action of the Peers in sendiog the Irish Chorch epill to a second reading was dictated. by @ prudent disinelination to excite an agitauion which might fead to the inquiry so aptiy put by Mr. Bright, “What is the special value of a constitution which gives a majority of 100 tn one house fora given policy and a majority of 100 in another against it?’ But the question is, will the vote of the Lords this morning be effectual in post- poning for any great length of time the very issue it was casttoavert? Nothing seems more certain at the present moment than the Irish Church bill, al- though spared Mm the siedge-hammer blows of Lord Derby, is to be smpot! 1 6 young princes were smothered tp the Tower, ‘as Perci- val was stillettoed ta the passage bewween the two houses. The avowed policy of the Lords is to kill the bill, by cutting out 16 most vital part, returning the carease to the Commons, refasing to recede from their amendments, and thus, as they hope, leaving on the Ministry the responsibility of the dnal failure of the measure this session, “Whom ihe =gods «would destroy they first make mad,” and if would seem very like tuaanity in the Peers to suppose that by so transparent a trick they can evade the respousibility lor the ulti- mate defeat of the bill, or avoid answering to the people at the pertl of their legislative tives for such an act of rebelljon against the iar will. The country has decided in favor of disestablishment and dixendowment in Ireland. Itis te first step in a great movement of reform, to be followed by a Just distribution of the land tn Treiand, and later oy disestablishment and diseadowment in England. If the House of Lords shouid venture in this early stage of the era of progression to “throw itselr athwart the course of the nation,” it will convince the people of the necesalty of removing the obstacle from their path, either through tie swarm} of the obstinate peers with new associates, or by the more advisable method aiready pointed out by the HeRaLp—the ‘abolition Of the present hereditary body and the subsutution of @ House of Lords elected by tie people and responsible to the people, like the Com- mona, for the votes they cast. We may regard the resnitof the debate m the Lords as really imma- terial in the | run either to themselves or the measure under consideration. In the first place, the majority for the second readti by no means renders certain the passage of the bill, for it Will be #0 aitered in the Lords as to render it nothing but@ sitople measure of formal disestab- lishment; and as no conference committee will ar- rive at any understanding uniess the Ministers soould recede from their present position, the bill WA in all probability go by the board. Jn the next place, votu Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright will take care that the Lords are not anffered to shirk the re- ngtlity lor the defeat of the measure, because they have chosen to play the assasain’s part tn cloak and mask, and hence the close of the session, shoutd the Pariiament rise without disestabHshing and dis- endowing the frish Churon, will be the signal for a ; — agitation directed against the upper house seit. The English government i+ in any case likely to have chnough work upou its hands, vetween deter- Inined reformers and obstinate pecra, and so we may expect that the Alabaina question will be sutered to | remain in abeyance, As the government at she — has, it appears, thought proper to confirm offictally the correctness of Ue HBKALD'S special cable despatch sent from here last Sanday in regard to Mr. Motley’s instructions it is now certat that the next overtures for # settiement of the matters in dispute between England and America inust proceed from the former as the culprit, aud henee we are not likely to hear any more about (le Alavama for some time to come.

It begins to be powerful, to be a palpable, tangible thing that meu can betieve has fervid hfe in it, One of its sequences, by no means the most insignificant, is ike grand republican mass meeting held in this city of the Abderramanes, in the Parador del Toro, yester- day afternoon. A reunion, Spaniards call it—a “reunion of republicans”—a very good name, con- veying a signification whicu, to warm hearted, flery Andalusiaus, means just what it is, Yesterday’s mass meeting was a reunion of every southern Spaniard who believed he felt the glow of liberty within him, and as one son of liberty met another it was @ spring ito each other's arms, a kissing on both cheeks, ending with a “Viva libertad.” There were such loud, sonorous kisses, with good hearty smacks, aa if they were relisied by donorand acceptor—such beaMhugs, in name of friendship, in name of republicanism, that no other name but that af reunion would be suitable or appitcable to the meeting of yesterday. At the call of their commit- lees the republicans came from the” Pyrenees, from the Basque provinces, from the piatns of La Mancha, Castile and Arragon to attend the reunion. For days previous to this demonstration preparations were betng made to give due honor to the army of citi- zens who were coming to hear the doctrines of the republicans expounded by the most eloquent orators of Spain. [tis a long time since ancient Cordova looked so gay as yesterday. For a parallel we must go back to the days of the last Maprish king, and seek it on the day of trlumph and victory over Goths, Every house was in holiday attire. There were streamers yards in length, and Spanisn republican banners tribarred—blue, red, yellow—of glorious extent, waving from tower and turret. Mottoed inscriptions revived ancient memories of Spain— evoked transcendental ideas of a fature dimiy seen, but boldly spoken of, and suggested hope to the thousanas who flocked to Cordova. Andalusian beiles never looked blither ana more like beautiful Amazons than yesterday, and the lithe, agile athletes of the Sierra Morena and mountains of Granada looked embryo heroes. It was an auspicious day also, as if nature sympa- thized with these liberty lovmg people. Ali who lave looked upon the valley of Cordova, in which the ancient otty 1s situated, can well enough testify that during vernal and summer montis its beauty is un- approachable, The bold outlines of the Sierra Mo- rena risiug as a rampart from bleak western winds, the beautifully rounded knolis to the east and north, and the free, expansive view to the south, form themes for try.

There was one from St. Petersburg, one for the Vieuna /resse, one from Berlin, the corres- pondent of the Kappel; another from the Reveille and the Gardiois, from Paris; the correspondent of the Cologne Gazette and your own special correspond. ent. The London press, always backward, or inimt- cal to republics Iu general, had pot a single repre- sentative here. The Madrid and Andatnsian journais were very plentifully represented also, For speakers the republican minority of the Cortes were represented by Fernando Garrido, who, with Castelar, Orenve and Pigneras, formed the chiefs of the republican party in Spain. So desirous were the republicans of Andaiusia to Witness the act of decia- ration of their province as one, of the confederation that they flooded the railway station at Seville, and, in alarm, the authorities tel hed to Madrid for instructions, Government telegraphed back for then not to permit any tramto run from Seville after eight o'clock in the morning. In this way thousands were proth pen from coming to Cordova. Those who had started previous to this hour, however, were very numerous, ag indicated above, At five o'clock in the afternoon a procession left the Founda Suiza, headed by four bs tye of the Cortes, Garrido, Cala, Palanca, and Guillen ia Rosa, com; od of eight editors, and depaties from Catalont ra. maedura, La Mancha, Murcia and Andalusia districts; provinelat aud State deputies, numbering some 300 or 400 men, for the Plaza de Corredera or Parador dei Toro. This plaza is about 1,000 feet oa ed 600 in width, surrounded on all sides by houses, fronting the plaza. Four galleries ran atound tie entire square, and altogether would hold 20,000 people, while the square itself would contain fally 40,000, Thassed together ag tistial at great political meetings, Aa these (the correspondents following directly alter hear the people's answer; but the most sceptical could Bot Cony rernaohiqan Ww boven | Cat people wore radically repul a eard tye fren- nied rivas given unabimonsly by the bepeants, then aad there, will never forget the deafening roar that surged upward in reply: it was an overwhelming wave of sound, surtmounting everything, enveloping the whole piaza like @ cloud.

If ever there were republicans, ardent liberty-1oving peo- ie, these people of Southern Spain are. But tive Rays ago I was in Madrid listening to the thousands of troops and citizens welcoming the constitution; but compared to this welcome of republican sentiments at lova the whole affair was smail, and 1 consider myself swindled tuto giving it more credit than it deserved. There was neither gpontaneity nor unanimity at Madrid, though there were plenty of vivas, but for a speci- men of genuine enthusiasm, trathfw expression of thought, commend we to to the free-hearted sons of Andalusia, who can vie with any number of men in the world, the more so that they have such healthy tuo used to carolung Andalusian segudilas on the breezy plains and heights of their beautifal pro- vince. Whatever expression tending to Rlority re- publican sentiments was welcomed with the fervor of whole hoarts—the republics of all lands, federal republic of Spam, the foreign press representatives, &c. The vivas rose cloud upon cloud, tempest after tempest, voluminous and vast, diling all space, ac- ceptable incense to liberty. Alter the Alcalde had spoken, proves) deputies ull delivered a short address in therr turn, each one giving in the Impuisive Andalusian way a piece of ius mind. [ noticed that the Andalusians were very enthusiastic whenever the words were given, “Long live the free men of Andalusia.” The last of these deputies was a nervous yong man of Jaen. His speech was very rapid, he hurried breathlessly, words hustled each other unceremoniousiy as they issued from his mouth, wile form trembied with excitement. It was @ wonder how the people understood him, but they did, for his words seemed stlver with them; they yelled their vivas of approval, while the people seemed intoxt- cated with republican sentumeats.

Example 1s contagious; some unknown danger ts believed to be impending; something that causes hundreds of others who have as much reason as yourself torun. ‘The lustinct of self-preservation is strong in man; the instinct warns one to run in such a case; it is oaly the, morally brave map that will stand fast. ‘Those who possessed their minds looked up to the lery and beheld the deputies signalliu till; fast.” ng,“ stan Some hundreds ofine spectators, thus conv a:ed that there was no impending danger, comforted each his fellow and stood determin in their places. ‘There were others in, who, though Be rewcnagen their reasons, looked pot up to the galleries, but drew their cane swords and edged their way in- stinctively to the exterior of the mass, took posses- sisn of the entrances to the plaza and prepared for the worst. Almost every nan in Spain carries a sword cane; not a siimsy — toad-sticker, but # downright sword sheathed in a cane made especially for Spainiards, it appears, for I have never sven such swordcaues in any otner counsey.

At this juncture, the eminent speaker of the Cortes, Fernando Garrido, advanced to the front of t peaker’s gallery, and by his gestures and sovor- ous voice demanded to be heard. Instantly hisses were heard for zilence from ali parts of the piaza, and the crowd, just aow but a wildly panicky mob, became motioniess. In afew happy, words he ex- plained the cause of the panic, and said how very disgraceful it was to sce forty thousand spaniarids run because two tiger cats juarrelted. The mov applauded, and thas en- couraged, Garrido introduced oti timmorous remarks until the whole plaza became filled with Jaughing people. The crowds became as dense as ever, en€ouraged by the universal laughter, and having effected his object so successfully of restoring temper and dissipating all suspicions, he pro- ceeded in serions earnest to discuss the objects of the meeting.

Of course there are party men who will persist, in spite of ooular demonstration, in telling you in England that Paris and France are kept io order by the police, which corps swarm up in thou- sands atthe nod of a commniussaire. What are the facts of the case? In Paris there are 8,000 sergents de ville. This force was on duty tour suc- ceasive nights, in presence of a mob of 20,000 and 30,000 men, What was the consequence? They were a0 utterly done up that government was com- pelled on the fifth day to order out the troops, who accordingly made their appearance on Friday even- ing, wifh strict ordera, however, not to tire—which, as it proved, was unnecessary, the presence of the Emperor and Empress in the midst of the gather- ing throng having sutticea to quell the insur- rectionary spirit of the rioters, [ much doubt whether English potice would have shown the ex- traordinary forbearance displayed by the Paris ser- gents de ville. Last night, discussing the affairs of the week with some officers of the Imperial Garde, they one and all declared solemnly that their men would not have stood the insolence of the mob of voyour and gamins, as aid the sergents de ville and the Garde de Paris. Fifteen thousand strangers are known to have quitted Paris during the first three days of last week in consequence of the riots. ‘The injury thus tndicted on trade can, from this item alone, be easily calculated.

Lincoln, Plain’ in Eryer, vs, Horace B, Clapin and Others,—In error to the Circuit Court for the Northern diatrict of Uilinols, Mr. Justice Wield delivered the opinion of the court. The bill of ex- ceptions in this case is made up without any regacd to the rules in accordance with which such brits should be framed, it is little else than @ transcript of the evidence, oral and documentary, given at the trial, and covers ninety-six printed pages of the re- cord, when the exceptions could have been presented with greater clearness and precision in auy tive of them. In its preparation counsel seem to have for- gotten that this court does not pass, in actions at law, upon the credibility or sufficiency of testimony; that these are matters which are left to the jury, and for any errors in ita action the remedy myst be sought in the court below by a motion fora new trial. A bill of exceptions should oniy resent the rulings of the court upon some matter or W—Aas upon the admission or exclusion of evi- dence—and should contain only so m the tes. timony, or such a statement of the proofs made or iYered, may be necessary to explain the bearing pon the issues involved. If the facts y admitted the bill should state them briefly, as the restult of the testimony; if the facta are disputed it will be sum- cient tf the bill allege that testimony was produced tending to prove them. If a defect in the proofs is the ground of the exception such defect should be mentioned without a detail of the testimony.

The case divers ma- terialiy from that of Adler va. Fenton, reported in 24th Howard, which 1s cited to show that the declaration discloses no cause of action. tn that case certain creditors, whose demand was not due at the thne, brought an action against their debtors, and others for an alleged conspiracy to dispose of the property of the debtors, 80 as to hinder and defeat the creditors in the collection of theirdemand; aud this court held that the action would not lie, ‘tue decision proceeded upon the ground that creditors at large have no sucl al interest in the property’ of their debtors as to enable them to interfere witlt any disposition of it before the maturity of their de- mands. ‘The creditors in that case possessed no lien upon or interest in the property of their debtors Lo iupair or clog in any respeot the Pare of the latter to make any use or disposition of it they saw proper. ‘The exercise of that right, whatever the motive, vio- lated no existing right of the Sees aud conse- quencly furnisied them no ground of action. ‘The case at bar is not brought upon the allegation that the deiendants have fraudulently disposed of their own preperiy, but that they have fraudulently ob- iained possession of the property of the plauintit, It proceeds upon the theory thaé the titie to the goods never passed to ino defendants, but remained in the plaints, from whom they were obtained by faise and frauduieat representations. That such representa tions were made by the defendant Mileham, and that by means of them the goods were obtained, was not seriously disputed at tie trial. The princt- pal controversy turned upon the connection of the defendant, Lincoln, with the fraudulent acts of Mtie- ham, ‘Tae declaration alleges that tue fraud was a matter of prearrangement between them, aud chelr counsel insisted that proof of such Peete gemens was essential to a recovery against Lincoln; but the Court heid that it was sufficient to show that he subsequently, With knowledge of the fraud, became @ party to it; that subsequent participation in the iraud and its fruits Was as effective to charge lim as preconcert and combination for its execution. in thus holding we perveive no error.
