ENGLAND. eee The Discussion on the Amended Irish Church Bill Contiuued—Remarks of Disraeli, Glad stone, Hardy and Bright—Second Reading of the Telegraph Bill. Lonpon, July 11, 1869. The debate on the amended Irish Church bill was Continued in the House of Commons until a late hour this morning. After the rejection of the amendment proposed by the Peers, Mr. Disraeli took the floor and spoke at some length. He re- Gretted the repudiation of the amendments adopted in the House of Lords. The Church was not the question at issue at the late elections. He thought the agreement of the Lords to read the bill @ second time was an act of magnanimity, considering the great majority unfavorabie to the measure, and this agreement was on given on the understanaing that the House of THLEGRAPHIC NEWS | FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD Mortality Among the Belliger- ents in Cuba.

THE PLAINS. reconciled to the expectations held out to the House of Lords, Mr. Gladstone replied to these remarks, saying that the promise given to the House of Lords was that amendments which could be approved would be respectfully considered; and he maintained that that pledge had not been violated. He had con- ceded much in deference to the Lords, and had ful- filled—more than fulfilled—all the pledges given. (Great cheering.) He was certain that it any harm had been done to the Church tt was by those who described the grievous and enervating effect dis- establishment would have on the geal and life of the religious community. If the Church was destitute of energy and vigor the sooner they quitted it the better, He must make a solemn protest against these disheartening and degrading convictions, and expresses an humble and confident expectation, though time and trial intervene, The members of the Church will regard the day of the passage of this act the day of their religious regeneration.

THE MUTINY AT SING SING PRISON. Upwards of Six Hunéred Convicts in Revolt. Within the past few days matters at Sing Sing Prison have assumed a serious, if not alarming, aspect, as to such a degree have disorder and rebel- lion obtained among the convicts that at present fully half of the entire number confined are actually in revolt, It is true and equally fortunate that the turbulent and dangerous men are securely locked in their cells; but this confinement does not, in the most remote sense, bend their mutinous spirits to the obeyance of prison rules or to the orders of those who are placed over them. The yells and other noises which pro- ceeded from the main prison yesterday, where all is usually quiet, resembled sounds emitted from the dreary corridors of a madhouse or other recep- tacle of uncontrollable horrors, and as each’ im- mured convict seemed to be beating a discordant tattoo on his cell door the effect produced can ve partially imagined, It is known by the prison officials that for many months past the convicts have been planning a gen- eral revolt; but it was not until last Sunday that any important symptoms of the plot were developed. At the dinner hour on that day a number of the men were heard grumbling on account of some beef which had been issued, their murmurings of discon- tent becoming almost universal.

It is now over eighteen months since we com- menced the musical review in the HERALD, and since the beginning of that time we have steadily opposed the existing monopolies in music publishing which have too long retarded the progress of the divine art in this country. As a matter of consequence we have incurred the deadly enmity of the parasites and Barnums of the musical profession, and have been repeatedly threatened with punishment unut- terable, especially by those humbugs who have in vain attempted to make a little capital by publishing the trash of Rondon concert saloons under the name of the “Spirit of Burlesque.” The publishers who dis- grace our profession by this twaddle hold, or at least claim, high positions in a mythical and non- sensical body called the National Music Boara of ‘Trade, a fossilized arrangement which meets every summer at one of the watering places and pretends to aictate what music shall be published for the com- ing year. These harpies and humbugs try to crush down American talent in every possible way, and because we have championed our native composers they threaten us with sheir vengeance. It is a disgrace to the musical profession that such irre- deemable swindlers should be allowed to misrepre- sent the musical proieasion in this country. Such pubiishera as Ditson & Co., Hall & Son, Gordon, Schuberth and Dachauer reflect honor and credit on music, and should be encouraged. But when pub- Ushers will try to paim oif # wark of Kossint for that of Herz, through their own ignorance to discrimi- nate, they deserve to be hauled over the coals. We have suffered too much from charlatanism in music, ‘and the American public should now set themselves against ali humbugs in this art. We shall continue to plead for the cause of merit against humbug not- withstanding the combinations and threats ot those who wish to make a roy Of music to cheat composers out of their just dues, Ditson & Co, publish the following:— Album, Five characteristic pieces for piano, by A.

We are glad to see that enterprising publishers are in tne feild to break down the insuderaple monopoly ‘that has so long retarded the progress of music in this country, Henry Litolff publishes spiendid piano editions of Mozart’s Symphonies, Weber's Concertos and mis- cellaneous works. These are works which reflect honor on the publishers, not like those outrages on ‘an intelligent public which other individuals publish under the title of “Spirit of Buriesque,” De Witt’s sixpenny series of popular songs is meeting with tresh favor. We hope that yet in this city we may have @ Musical Bouquet like that of London, which may break down the publishing champions of the burlesque trash which has so long insulted the public of New York. ENGLISH SPORTS. FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. The Henley Regatta and the Oxford and ( : bridge Cricket Match, Lonpon, June 24, 1869. The regatta at Henley last week deserves greater notice than it has as yet received on either side of the Atlantic, from the fact that the Oxford four who are to row against the four crack oarsmen of Har- vard College put in an appearance at this regatta, and were very badly beaten by the four of the Lon- don Rowing Club, who have also sent a challenge to Harvard. Henley is situated on the Thames, about forty miles from London, and it is distinctly understood that at the regatta which is held there anaually only firat class matches are to be rowed. Nestling down be- tween the hills of Buckinghamshire and Berkshire, the village has a most picturesque aspect. The Thames is a8 smooth as a mill pond, except during the tides, and the whole of the racing course can be seen from either shore, or from the old bridge across the river, The distance from town keeps away the roughs, and on @ fine day the attendance at the regatta comprises the er4me de la créme of English society. Last Thursday, however, was nota fiue day, On the contrary, it was one of the worst days that even English weather can produce. Cold, cheerless, dis- agreeable, are adjectives too weak to express the actual facts, The rain fell in torrents up to the very time for the racing to begin, and then held off sulkily, breaking into showers every now and then and.wet- ting everybody to the skin. Nevertheless, Henley was crowdea with ladies and gentlemen, who rowed about the river or sat in carriages upon the bridge, or promenaded upon the river banks, The old ied Lion inn, famous in posting days, was never more ad To an American the piace looked itke Fishkill on @ holiday. The racing began at two o’clock with a match between the eight of the London Rowing Club and the Oxford-Etomian Club—that is to say, Oxford University men who prepared for college at Eton. ‘The prize was the Grand Chalienge Cup, held by the Londoners, who were the favorites at six to four. ‘rhe Oxford crew, however, had the better position and won easily. It was evident from the commence- ment of the race that four of the Londou eight were worth nothing; the other four were obliged to pull them along. The race was rowed in very it time—seven and @ half minutes—:he course’ being over a mile, and against the tide. A four-oared race between two Kingston crews followed, and was nicely won by the Oscillators, ‘Then a crow of ton boys beat a Cambridge crew Very handsomely for the Ladies’ Chi Plate, ‘Then two Henley crews contendea for the Town Cup, and the Excelsiors-won with great ease. A race between fours from Oxiord and Surbiton, with- out winvnes| im the American fashion, ended in the victory of the Oxford men, although the steer- ing was excessively wild. Next the Oscillators rowed over the course for the Thames Challenge Cup, there being no competitors, This cap will be discontinued next year, as tne race a clas ones and = suci = matches are discountenanced at Henley. Mr. Crofts, of Kingston, and Mr. Tarborough, of Oxford, then rowed sculls for the gold oars set with diamonds, and Mr. Crofts won by three lengths. Finally two minor clubs from Oxford and Cam- bridge rowed for the Visitor’s Cup, and Oxford won. ‘These excellent races being over, the way was clear for the greatevent of the day, the four-oared match for the Steward’s Chalienge Cup, between the two crews that are to be pitted against the Harvard boys. The London Ciub crew were Messrs. Ryan, Gulston, Long and Stout (strokes) with litte Master Weston as coxswain. A finer orew never stirred the water. The men are modets of form. In fact Ryan las been immortalized by a sculptor in the Nationa! Gallery as a gladiator, The Oxford crew were Messrs. Mair, Leslie, Burgess and Houblon (stroke), wih Mr. Longridge as coxswain. t least three of these gentiemen will row against the Americans, They were beaten from the start. ‘The Londoners won laughingly, without a struggle. If the Harvard men cannot beat such an Oxiord crew they are not worthy to sit in a boat. The bet- ting, which was ten to one against the Americana, has dwindled down to three to two stuce the and there are few takers even at these small odds. On the following Saturday the Londoners agaim rowed against an Oxford crew at Pangbourne, am won With the same ease, although they were ol to carry extra weight through the boat in order to make arace. I have all faith in the American crew, but if they accept the challenge of the London Club— which they ought, by all means, to do—they will have their work cut gut for them. Messrs. Ryan, Gulaton, Long and Stout are wonderful oarsmen, and know each other so well that they row together like machinery. They are equally good as a crew of four, a3 twos or a3 singles, The Londow Ciub offers to row the Harvard in any way and onany course. They extend to the Americans all the hospi- talities of the club and are only anxious that their guests shall trail the proud colors of Oxford in the nud of the Thames. From my own observations— and, as you know, [ am no bad judge in rowing matiers—I believe that the Americans will beat the University crew out of bi io Efforts are being made to induce Cambridge to challenge Hi vard, but such a match would be @ a one-sided affair. The Americans are not estimal at their true value here. An impression prevails Uthat they do not understand the science of rowing. The HERALD or Wilkes’ Spirit ought to undeceive the English upon this point. Harvard will surely convince them when the race comes off. The Oxtord and atte ane cricket match begam at Lord’s Ground on Monday last. In the annual matches between tne two untversities each had scored sixteen: victories, and this was the de- ciding Vig Monday was a dismally wet pnd an play was not begun until half-past ree o'clock. As usual of late years, Cambridge won, thus recompensing herseif for the defeats which sne suffers. in the annual boat race. About 3,000 persons were present on Monday, in spite of the rain, and about 6,000 on Tuesday, when the weather was fine. These spectators included the flower of the English nobility and gentry. In thew first inning the Oxford men scored eg, in their second ninety-etght. The scores of Cambridge were 164 and ninety-one. Thus Cambridge came out fifty-eight runsahead. The betting was two to one on Cambridge.
