END OF THE YERGER TRIAL. ENGLAND. Irish Oburch Bill—Surreader of tho PeersTrlumph of the Commons. Loxvon, July 22, 1880. There bas been a compromise on the question of the Irish Church bii!, resulting through fear on the part of the peers of the consequences arising from ‘the threatened colligion of the two Houses of Parila- tment. Last night a large meeting of the tory lords (was heid at the private residence of one of the ‘peers, when it was reaoived to repudiate the leader. ship of Lord Salisbury and piace themselves under the load of Lord Cairns, who was authorized to make poace with the Minisiry and express the willingness of tho peers to yleld. To-day Lord Cairns gought an interview with the Earl of Gran- ville, whon he informed him that ie was ready to give in the submission of tho peers whenever the ‘Cabinei agreed to a compromise. 1 ts gnnounced to-night that the prompt and loud expressions of popular indignation had terrified the Lords, and thus postponed for a while the threatened agitation. The Consideration of the Charch Bill Re- @uwed in the Hosse of Lords—The Compro- mino Eflected=The Original Date of Dises- sablishment Agreed to. Lonpoy, July 22, 1869. In the House of Lords to-night there was a full @ttendance of peers and spectators, and many mem- ‘bers of the House of Commons were present, The constderation of the amendments to the Irish Church bill was reaumed. Earl Granville opened the debate by stating that her Majosty’s Ministers regarded the vote of ‘Tuesday might as one of a very grave character; but they Were unwilling to prevent the consideration of the other ameudments to the bill, and were anxious to conduct the discussion in a spirit of peace and con- ciliation. He proposed the reinsertion of the original date of disestablishment—nai , Jgnuary 1, 1871—but should not insist op o dividion of the Roase. If the motion was Conirary vo the feeling of the House he would withdraw it. Lord Cairns said since the adjournment he had bad # conference with Earl Granville. He (Lord Cairns) thought the amendments remaining few and capable of solution, He was giad to find that Earl - Granville was actuated by a similar spirit. Nothing could be more culpable on either side than fo en- courage or protract controversy on a measure of thts kind where materials for a solution were at band, With that view and that sentiment every- thing which took place at the conference accorded. He arguod that the question of date waa of Wecondary importance, and declared that ho was ready to accept the original date. He advised tne Lords not to insist on their amendments fm regard to curates, ecclesiastical residences or the commutation of annuities, If three- fourths of a diocese were willing to commute they wou'd have twelve instead of seven, per cent added. The question with respect to the dis- position of the surplus might be left over; but power should be given to Parliament to apply a por- Hon of the fund to the alleviation of unavoidable calamity. Lord Cairns concluded by admitting that he still had strong objections to the bill; but if it ‘Was to pass at all it was not for the interests of the country or the Church to prolong tne struggle on minor details, ‘Tuo Marquis of Salisbury, Earl Russell and other leading poers necepted the compromise and praised the conduct of Lord Cairns in the present emer- goncy. The motion for the restoration of the original date Of disestablisiment was agreed to, and other amend- ments were disposed of according to the terms of the compromise, Clause sixty-eight was altered so that none of the @urplus ehalibe applied without the separate and distiact sanction of Parliament, ‘The Karl of Bandon and the Bishop of Tuam pro- tested against the compromise. Karl Granville thanked Lord Cairns for the frank- ness with which he had entered into confidential communication with the government in order to smooth down the difficulties in the way of the bill, The Loudon Times on the Irish Church Bill. : Lonpon, July 22, 1869. ‘Tho Zimes this morning, in an editorial, says that © minisiry bas resolved to preserve the Irish jurch bill, in spite of the majority against it in the | eee Lords, Therefore, the conclusion ts, the continues, that the aifferences between the houses in respekt to the preamb'e and the sixty- ‘pighth clause do not offer an insuperable obstacle to the passage of the bill. An Koglish Opinion of the Present Condition of Ireland. Lonpoy, July 22, 1869.

Joka A, Rovbitus, ‘This gentleman, one of the wost disunguisued civil engingers in the United States, died at his real- dence, in Brooklya, at an early hour yesterday, of Vetanus, the result of an accident which occurred at the Brooklyn ferry on the 28th ult, He had been standing on a beam, next to the standing piles which form the entrance to the ferry Louse, surveying for the New York and Brookiyn bridge, when the boat coming in forced the piles against the beam, acct- dentally catching one of his feet between tha two, crustung the toes frightfully, He was acon aftor conveyed to a surgeon's office, where, after an ex- amination, it was decided that the mutilated mem- bers would have tobe amputated. This was done, after which Mr. Roebling was taken to hia residence. Unfortunately for himself he had a great faith in the cold water ours, aud instead of seeking the advice of a physician, as his friends recommended him, he in- sisted upon treating the injury according to his ideas. The result was that gangrene aet in, followed aimiost toumediately after by symptoins of tetanus, When @ physician was called fn it was too tate. Mis recovery bad become impossible, and, as we have staled above, he died yesterday morning, tn the aixty-third year of bis age. H18 BIRTHPLACE, KDUCATION AND BARLY PROFI- SIONAL CARERR, Mr. Roebling was a Prussian by birth, bat had ro- sided in this republic for nearly forty years. He was born in the town of Mulhausen, in Thuringia, Prussia, on the 12tnof June, 1896, and recetved a fine education at the Royal Polytechnic School of Kerlin, from whence he graduated, taking the de- gree of Civil Engineer, Three subsequent years were apent ta the service of the government, mainly at Westphalia, where he superintended the public works in course of erection, gaining considerable experience io his profession and giving numerous evidences of the groat engineering skit! he posseased. About tbe year 1831 he einigrated to the UOulted States, settling in Western Pennsylvania, where he purchased a fargo tract of land. This section of Pennsylvania was then very sparsely populated, and for several yeara Mr. Roebling worked on his farm, seeing but lew persona of cultivation whose societ were congenial to him, Of course such a life hi no cluarms for the deceased, and he abandoned it at the eftlicet opportunity to resume the profession of eaymeering. His first profezsional work in the United states was upon the slack water navigation of the Beaver river, one of the Oho river tributaries, He was aiterwards employed on the Sandy and Bea- ver Canai, wulch was never compieted, and later on the Upper Alleghany river. This waa his lastconnec- tion with canal enginecring. Some time after he entered into au engagement with the State of Penn- sylvanta to survey and locate a route for three lines of ratiways across the Alleghany Mountains. ‘This work employed him for three years, and was most satiafactorily performed, although the rouwis were finally constructed by a private company. Mr. Roebling now engaged in the manufacture of wire ropes, then in ita intancy in this country, but now @ most important branch of businuss. The use of these ropes in transporting the canal boats of the Pennsylvania State Canal across the Alleghany Mountaios and the experience. gained by him as to the capacity of wire to sustain & great pressure Uist assured him of the feasibility of suapensioa bridges with great spans, the tdea of which he had long en- vertained. As a matter of course great oppostiion was encountered. ‘There never was a great enter- rive Which in it@ inciplency did not meet with ridicule and prophecies o1 faiure until complete success put an end to all doubts and positive asser- tions of 114 impossibility. Mr. Roebling met tne fate of all men of genius. Ite was told that his tdea was uot only impracticable, but it was ae impossidie of realization. He, however, persevered heeditss of adverse criticism, to finally win, and by winning, to achieve @ lasing reputation. 113 SUSPENSION AQUEDUCTS AND BRIDGES. In 1844 Mr. Roebling obtained the opporinoity he had long sougnt for. During that year the wooden aqueduct of the Peunsylvania State Canal across the Alleghany river required rebuilding, or rathor tt wus found necessary to replace it with a new struc- ture on the old piers, which were quite sound aid serviceable. Mr, Roebling was the lowest idder for tae contract, which he obtaimed, to do the work Wiihin @ specitied time. Kyen alter the a was compicted, Combrisii% s6ven Spans of each, aud conalsting of wooden tanks to receive the ier, te whoie sapported by a contiauous wire pie, the Opponents of this new method ot te ieting aqueduct deciated that the struct it woud give way, te jgndons pressure of water t ‘These predictions were never fallitied, aud th plete success which ptiended tho work pla engineer at tne head of his profession. quentiy constructed on the same piun the Lacka- waxen, Delaware, High Faiia aud Neverains aque- ducts, on the Delaware and Hudson Canais, all of which are permanent structures of greut vara But the groat work with which Mr. Rocbiing's Danio is associated, and which wiust ever cause hun to be remembered as one of the great of Ameri- can engineers, Was the construction o: gion bridge across the Niagara river Canada with the Unite ates by rail, been made to bunid this been @ temporary brid travellers and light vehicies, the engineer, had been employed | Central Raiiroad and te Creat Westera Katiway Company, of Canaia, to consiruct & suspeisi bridge, but some time passed without av domg untii finally Mr. Kilet leit the companies, ae subject of this skotch Was then eugaged to cou struct the briage. How weil and low permanentiy it was done we need not state here. T tue frst ume in the history of ctvil engineering over $09 feot of water were covered by a slugie spat, and a bridje calculated to sustain almost any weight that 1 be placed upon HW consir four wire cables of ten inches in diameter, About this time Mr. Roebliag begaa the consiruc- tion of a mucit greater work, It being the constr tion of @ suspension bridge across the Kentuesy river, on the line of the Cincinnatl and Chattanooga, Ratiroad, requiring a single span of 1,224 feet. ‘This great work was never completed for want of funds, ‘Two other suspension bridges, one at Cincinnati and the other at Pittsburg, were built by hima. At tie time of his death he Was engaged upon wit would probedly have proved the main work of his life— the bridgtag of New York and Brookiya, with a span Ot 1,600 feet, It is a satisiaction to know, however, that all his plans and estinutos had been completed, and that the bridge will be cousiructed accordtag to them. CONCLUSION. Some years ago Mr. Koebling lefi the West and moved to Trenton, N. J., where he ostablished tua works. He aiso took up bis regular res!tenee re, and was living im Brooklyn only tearporarily, uls body will be conveyed to Trenton for interment. Tie death of Mr. Roebling mus! be regarded as a public calamity; for although the work on which he Was @ngaged will undoubtedly be carried out to # successful termination according to his plans, trera were others requiring great engineering skill to which lis judgment aod abiiity would have been of incalcaiable beneit. Personaily, tov, Bir. Was much esteemed, and his numerous it hear of bis death with deep regret. Efforts hac ju dact, there had sled and supported by Sidney Smith ~«e. A telegram from Alexaudria, Va, reports the death, at lis residence in Staiford county, of Sidney Smith Lee, a brother of General Robert B. Lee, and formerly an officer of the Union and later of the Confederate navy. He was born in Virginia about the year 1800 and entered the navy in 1520, At the outbreak of the rebellton he held the rank of senior heutenant; but ne threw up Ins commission and eniered (he Confederate service a3 commodore. During the war he did very little of note, perhaps because he never had an opportunity. Commodore Lee and General Samuel Cooper married sisters, of the name of Mason, descendants of General Mason, of Gonstown Hall, Atier the war he took up his residence on the Potomac, in Maryland, but subse- quentty returned to Virginia, where he died.
