ENGLAND. Passage of the Irish Church Bill in the House of Lords. Lonpon, July 13—7 A. M, The debate on the Irish Church bill was resumed in the House of Lords last evening. The Earl of Clancarty moved that the bill be read the third time three months hence. He opened the debate in a speech in support of his motion. He ad- Mitted that the verdict of tne country in the late elections was favorable to the bill, but the details were then unknown to the people. He believed if ‘the matter could be tested now the bill would be rejected. The Earl of Derby said that beyond opposing the second reading he had contented himself by giving a Silent vote. His objections to the bil were not re- moved. He was opposed on principle to disestab- lishment and disendowment. Even with the amend- Ment recently introduced the established Church was left with a miserable pittance, absolutely in- suMcient for her purposes. He would vote for the amendments if they were passed, but ne advised their witndrawal, so as to throw the responsibility of rejected reasonable amendments on the House of Commons. He hoped the Lords would firmly resist all the attempts of the Commons to moiify the amendments. Further discussion ensued, after which the Earl of Clancarty’s amendment was withdrawn. The Earl of Derby announced his intention to sub- Tait a protest against the bill. ‘The bill was then read the third ume, and the Question reourred—shail the bill pass ? Tne Earl of Deyon moved as an amendment the Omission of the clause permitting the bisnops to be Tetained in their seats, and spoke im favor or his motion. Earl De Grey, on the part of the government, sup- Ported the amendment, Lord Cairns opposed any alteration of the amend. ments. He thought it no greater anomaly to allow the bishops to retain their seats than the bill itself, which ts altogether an anomaly and full of novelties. ‘The Earl of Carnarvon supported the amend. ment. He urged the point that if the bishops were allowed to keep their seats the substance would Bave gone, but the shadow be retaitfed. He thought it better that the measure should be dual and com- plete. Lord Hatherley urged the tnconsistency of the retention of seats by the bishops when the qualifica- tion was gone, After some further discussion the Lords divided, with the following resul For the amendment. 180 ‘Against ie 82 The announcement was greeted with loud and long continued cheering from the Ministerial benches. Earl Stanhope moved the insertion of a proviso for furnished residences and glebes for the Catholic and Presbyterian clergy, and introduced the princi- ple of concurrent endowment, Lord Houghton thought that the requirements produced the impression that Ireland was to give religious equality. The bill did not. He would sup- port the proposal for concurrent endowment, The Duke of. Somerset thought the bill ought to be liberal to Catholics and Protestants. What the bill ‘anted throughout was a ittle generosity, The Bouse of Commons in their amendments professed to givo generosity, but, unfortunately, their liper- ‘ality was ai! one-sided. He supported the motion. The Earl of is !mberley opposed the motion on the ground that it wag osntrary to the pledges given by the liberal party at thé gongxal election. ‘The Earl of Granard also dpposed we amendment. ‘The Catholic hierarchy was not prepared & accept State endowment, It was impossible for Catholics to vote for the motion except at the expense of con- sistency and good faith, What the Lrish Catholics ‘wanted was the d isestablishment and disendowment of the Established Oburch, and social and political equality in place of the system of ascendancy whicn ostracised Catholics and deprived the Irish of all lo- eal self-government, The Earl of Dunraven sald that the hopes of the Cathokcs had been mugh disappointed by the cha- ‘gacter which the bill had now assumed. Instead of ‘being ® measure of disestablishment and disendow- mient it was a measure ef disestabiishment and re- endowment. He urged the point that the Pariia- ment would never remove the discontent or obtain the contidence of the Irish people but by a bona fide measure guaranteeing perfect religious equality. Earl Russell supported the motion. Me favored religious equality in Ireland, but without the princi- ple of concurrent endowment the present bili doea mot give it, Lord Westbary had not voted for the second read- dng of the bill out of deference to public opinion. He thought at the last elections the question was mot sufficiently understood to enable the coun- try to dictate to the Legislature. He thought me present constitution of the Church was ® great evil, He would favor any meas. are ot benificent reform. He regarded tho present time as an opportunity to send ferth a mes- sage of peace and religious equality, and he would regret if this opportunity to restore peace were lost through the bigotry of one party or the high spirit of the other, which imducea them to disclaim con- gurrent endowment and pronounce it a sin to do Sdything for a religious sect whiok comprises nine- teen-twentieths of the Christian world. He thought unless they were equipoised and balanced by equal benefit to the Catholics, the Lords’ amendments were unjust, Earl Granville opposed the motion. The feelings of the constituencies were against any proposal tor levelling. The adoption of the motion would only cause embarrassment, Lora Cairns opposed the motion, believing the sys- tem of indiscriminate endowment unsuited for the position of ireland. After further debate the Lords divided, with the following result:— For the amendment. Against... ‘The principle of concarr: agreed to, ‘The bil! was then passed, Lord Redesdaie presented Earl Derby's protest, and then at a late hour their lordships adjourned. 121 a4 © endowment was thus An Opinion of American Intervention in Cuban Affairs. Lonpon, July 13, 1869. The Star to-day says the intervention of Ameri- cans has undoubred!y helped to prolong the insur- recon in Cuba. The government, it is true, has resolutely declined to be led into acts of open hos- tility to Spain, but the Lairds of America have con- trived, in some instances to outwit it, This does not exculpate England, but shows that the faults of which she 18 accused may be committed by another nation at the very time itis exacting redress for them. British Gunboat Policy Towards Chi nounced in the House of Commons, ‘ Lonpon, July 13, 1869, In the House of Commons to-night Mr. Otway, Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, in reply to the remarks of Mr, Sykes in respect to the reia- uons of England with China, admitted that it was the interest of England to strengthen the central government of that country, and not weaken It by gunboat policy and extravagant demands. He reminded the House that America and other countries bad treaty rights in China as well as England. In revising the treaty of Tientsin we must consider the probable action of other countries, as well as our own demands and rights. The internal trade of the country was de- stroyed by British merchants selling certificates to Chinese traders, to enable them to deiraud their own government. The Chinese government desires to yield to the wishes of the merchants, and wien the Emperor at- tains nis majority it is hoped that we shall be able to treat with him on all questions in regard to the rights of trade in that country of English merchants.

The shore end here was laid down several days ago by another steamer of the expedition—the William Corry. This part of the cable was thirty miles long. After being laid it waa buoyed, and the Corry stood off, keeping near, 80 aa to be ready to pick up the buoy when the Great Eastern should come in sight, Thus the Great Bastern had ouly to find the Corry and splice the two cables to complete the communication between Brest and St. Pierre, The day was unasually clear and bright, and this facilitated the labor, Electrical signais have not yet beon exchanged with Brest by the oflce bere, because the land end ig sealed and the instruments are ali on board another vessel of the expedition yet to arrive. The Great Eastern wiil return to Europe imme- lately. ‘The line hence to the United States will be finished by the Chiltern. It is @ holiday here, but no great enthusiasm is manifested.

The cause of the delay is not known, a8 no communication haa been held with the shore, All the vessels of the cable fleet, the Skandarci, William Corry, Chiltern and Gulnare, were in com- munication with the Great Eastern by sigual at the time the cable was cut, A Dense Fog Prevents the Splicing of the Two Ends—The Deep Sea Cable Cut and Buoyed. Brest, July 13, 1869. A despatch from the Great Eastern, dated yester- day, announces her arrival off Miquelon, bat a dense fog prevailed, in consequence of which she had as yet been unable to find the shore end of the cable with which to make the splice. The deep sea cable will probably be cut and buoyed, to prevent accident ‘wntil the fog clears up. LATER, The caple has been cut and buoyed. No commu- nication has peon received through it since last night, Instruments for the French Cable. {From the Boston Post, July 13.) By courtesy of Moses G. Farmer, the well known electrician, of this city, there was an exhibition yesterday afternoon of the instruments to be used on the new French cable now tn process of being laid. The instruments are substantially the same as those in ase on the present cable, the signals being trans- mn{tted through the medium of a ray of light thrown by @ delicately suspended mirror upon a suitable surface, Tho helices consist of about 20,000 coils of Insulated wire, aro nearly three inches in length and two in diameter, and the interior of the rings five-eighths of an inch. A polarized needle, to which is attached a thin reflector, is suspendea in the cenire of the coil, and 1s defected from right to left according as the current passes from the posi- tive or the negative pole of the battery. Directly in front of, and covered so as to allow but a small ray of light to be focussed by a lens upon the mir- ror, i8 @ lamp, and at the right of the lamp, six feet or more, as the case may be, is a centred surface upon which the ray falls, The Morse alphabet, with some slight alterations, will be used, the dots and dasnes being indicated by the position of the ray with regard to the centred surface. The Tesiatance of one helix is about that of 600 miles of the cable proper. The mstruments are very simple, and the cost a trifie, not exceeding $100 a set, —___.. THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT.

Fined. NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 1869.—-TRIPLE SHHE'T, GILBERT C. WALKER. The Governor Elect of Virginia in the Em pire City-Warm Welcome Extended to Him—His Views on the Late Campaign— Part of Granv’s Aduwinigtration in League With Wells, General Gilbert 0. Walker, Governor elect of Vir- ginia, arrived in New York and put up at the St. Nicholas Hotel yesterday morning. He went out soon after his arrival in company with several genviemen who called to extend him their congratu- jJations and paid a visit to the financial regions of Wall street, where, on being recognized, he was warmly welcomed and shaken by the hand in a most enthusiastic manner, Leading capitaiists on the street expressed their intense satisfaction at the result in the Old Dominion, and gave repeated assurances ol their determination, just a3 soon as matters are firrally settled in Virginia, to go down and make in vestinents in many ways calculated to develop the resources of the State, and make its people prosper- ous and happy, while contributing to the wealth of New York and of the nation generally, Governor Waiker 18 an uncommonly fine looking man, and must, in the very nature of things, have secured one- third atleast of his popwiarity in Virginia on the strength of his good looks, The Virginians are like the ancient Athenians belore the latter gave them- selves up to the disquisitions of the schools and the contemplation of Plaio's philosophy. They ad- mire a tail and well proportioned man, with a face of regular outline and un eye of inteliect and fire, Such is Governor Walker. He standa over Six feet high, is strongly built, but like a perfect athiete in suppleness of joint and symmetry of pro- portion. He might be thirty-five vears of age, although his iron gray hatr should indicate a little more; but though dark, in {act aimost creole-like in com- plexion, there ts such an expression of vigor aad of weil preserved health and energy in his face that the gray hairs and the dark skin fail to make him look more than what he is, @ young wan, merging into the full blossom of physi- cal aud intellectual. power. Bad the women of Virginia a vote it is no exaggeration to say the ma- jority (or Walker would have been so great as to make the darktes tremble and turn pale, United to this great advantage of an orator, Governor Walker also possesses that peculiar order of eloqueuce which, like a park of pyrotecanics, da.les, bewi- ders, Calis forth thun ‘ers of applause, witie all the ume the heavy ordnance of sod argument and the whizzing sbot of sarcasm, strixing the bull's eve every pop, and heard and felt amid the ge n- eral dispiay. The reporter of the Heratp felt a real delight tn shaking hands with the Governor yesterday cvening at the St, Nicholas flotel, and in ‘congratulating him upon achieving 80 great a victory lor conservative Dationality—a victory in behalf and for the protection of the real interests of the re- public, The Governor was cordial and cominunica- live, and spoke as herein set down. KEPORTER—? suppose, Governor, you tatend to seek a little rest soiwewhere after this memorable campaigu In Virginia? GouViexnon—Yes, indeed, I wantit badly, but it wovulun’t do to stop and seek for ‘it in Virginia. [ found some little ditliculty in getting away from there, the kindness of tie people was so very great and the luvitations from one source and another to Stay were so bewildering, No; I shall go upto my old home, spend three or four weeks there, regain my former health aud strengta, and then with bead and iand strong again return to my lair adopted State of Virginia, RePORTER—The radicals talk, Governor, of con- testing the validity of the election. How is that? GOVERNOR —Oh, that's always the way, In their desperate straits the whole host of carpet-baggers say anything and everything, It was lile or death to them, because the tnstant that intellect and worth became emancipated from the shackies thrown around them by proscripii n and injustice the doom of the carpet-bag ollice-hoider was sealed. They held offices for which God nor nature never intended them, and now that they have been routed, horse, foot and dragoons, of course they set up @ cry of being cheated, This charge oi being cheated is just as natural for them to make as Co flud themselves accused of. But tnen it ts all a waste of time to talk of the Virginia election being otherwise than a true expression of the people’s voice, 1 do not believe there ever was in the whoie history of this country an election more fairiy con- ducted or one attended with such marveilous re- sults, as viewed from Ube starting pot, A gentle- man, @ strong and prominent radical of this city, said to me to-day, ‘Governor Walker, you have won @ great victory indeed, and ail the power o! Welis and h—l can’t take it from you.’ Prominent republicans, in various places [ have passed turough, Washington, here and elsewhere, have spoken in the same Way though not quite so emphatically. I have not the slightest fears of the result, because there are no grounds for fear. Virginia did exactly what she was asked to do in the question of adopt- ing certain specilic legislation of Congress and spe- cic instructions from the Executive. All those who supported me voted against the proscriptive clauses which General Grant desired should be voted upon; those who supported Wells on the contrary yoted for their retention jn the constliution and thus placed themselves in’ direét antagonism with General Grant’s administration. REePrORTER—Then ofcourse, Governor, the adminis- tration was on your side, and will take immediate steps to recognize Virginia as restored? GovgeRNOR—General Grant I am sincerely in- chned to believe was and is still resolved to stand by the policy he recommended to Virginia, but in the late canvas members of his administration, such as Boutwell and Creswell, with the Treasury and Post Ofice under their control, did all they couid for Wells, These two vast engines of power were used against us as they were never used before, and of course nothing could be more encouraging to the hungry leaders of the negro than this boundiess prospect if the victory became theirs of filling their wallets from Uncle Sam’s treasury, Few know the tremendous preesure that was brought to bear upon the poor blacks to vote the Wells ticket. They speak of conservative intimidation, but the open, flagrant, notorious intimidation of the radical arkeys by their carpetbag and sealawag leaders, Was something altogether unparalleled. The leagues worked themselves into demonaical frenzy; but What is the result? Those leagues in the reaction which hag now set in are brei up all over the State, and will continue to break until not a vestige of them is left to keep alive the spirit of evil among the two races. d REPORTER—Does this movement in Virginia mean the initiation of a new party or simply a democratic subterfuge to secure a certain vital end for ultimate and ulterior purposes? GovERNoR—On that nead I discover almost all the apers here at the North are at fauit. The great ma- Jong, seven-elghths, of the men who vo te con- servative ticket are as far removed from the old Northern democracy on the one nand as they are from radicalism on the other. They want neither; but they have had the sense and manhood to per- ceive and cheerfully accept the Inevitanle, and in thus doing they mean to reject the fatal lessons of Northern democracy, as taught them to their ruin, and at the same time maintain a bold yet dignitied front against the unconstitotional aggression of re- publicanism run wild, ReroRTsR—What was the secret of the wonderful snocess that attended your canvass, Governor? Governon—Weil, in the first piace, the people were sick and tired of the prevailing condition of things, Jonging for quiet and unable to see where it shouid come from. Along their own native lead- ers there were few or none who had the moral courage to atand up and tell them the true line of action to pursue. I was differentiy plaved, felt per- fectly independent and determined to yield none of my honest convictions to the radical clamor on one side or the conservative prejudices on the other. I started out aliberal repudiican platform, and that is the name by which our party in Virginia should proper- ly be designated. Leaving Norfolk I made @ tour through the counties east, south and west, and dual- ly ended In Richmond, In the commencement I had four-fifths of the whites against me and ai) the Diacks, At the end of the canvass [ had one-fifth of the blacks with me and all the whites, and ail this in a space of #ix weeks or 80, and Without yielding an inch to either side, Now the great mistake made by the republican party ap here North ta in not at once claiming the result th Virgint a republican victory, for it is truly a8 much that as it reusonabiy could be. There is a stronger tendency to repubii- eanism among the Virginians than perhaps among the natives of any other Southern State. Democracy hath profited them nothing, and they know better ‘whan you tell them where thetr real interests lie, When [ waa leaving, the best kind of feeling ihe vatled among all classes, The only ones looking blue bec the Impecunious carpet-baggers, The ne- groes will henceforth hold @ higher place in the white man’s estimation, and I venture to predict that before two years are over, one-half the black population will be conservatives. ere we left the Governor, undetstanding from him that bis stay in the city will be about four days.
