The Irish Church Bill in the House of Com- mons—Specches of Gladstone, Disraeli and Sic Roundell Pabner—The Amendments Aarced To. wihe Lonpon, July 23, 1869, There was a full attendance of members and spec- tators in the House of Commons this evening, When Mr. Gladstone rose to speak he,was greeted with great cheering. Under a heavy sense of responsi- bility, but with profound satisfaction, he moved that the House agree to the amendments inserted yesterday, without exception or reser- vation. He called attention to the excision from the preamble of the words speci fying the appropriation of the surplus; but as the Point was better indicated in the bill he thought it would be invidious and unncessary to require a theoretical and abstract ceclaration in the preamble, ‘The reinsertion of the date of 1871 was not a token of victory, but an indication of the joint and har- monious working of the Houses. He reviewed the other amendments, which had been met with objec- tions, and said the substance of the government pProposais had remained virtualiy unattered. He asked the House to discard every word that might Nave been ultered tending to embitter ‘he question, and he apologized for any warmth of feeling that he might have shown. He congratulated the House on the satisfactory setilements which had been arrived at, and praised tho abiluy and moderation with Which the debates had been conducted by Earl Gran- ville and Lord Cairns. He hoped the disestablished Church would develop within herself the qualities by Which her great career would be marked out for her, and that God would speed her in her new career. Sir Roundell Palmer, member for Richmond, ap- proved the course which had been taken. It was hoporabic and fair to both sides. The point agreed ‘upon was one whichall must accept. In case of an adverse decision we must bow to the superior force of those who control events, and «hep that time has come it is folly to refuse to see and acknowledge * the fact. He thought the compromise was substan- tially a concession to the Churck, and concluded his speech with a compliment to Mr. Gladstone on the tone and temper of the debate, Right Hon, Mr. Disraeli said that when the differ- ence between the Houses was only a matter of detail he felt that a delay in the settlement was only a doubtful advantage and might result in disasters and diMculties or no inconsiderable kind, CGom- promise was not usconditional surrender, The most essential points in the amendments had been assented to, and he thought that the House and the coufitry would deem the compromise fair and just, He hoped that the present would be the last occat sion when political circumstances would be dealt with by abstract principles. We had been on the @Ve of a collision, occasioned by a misunderstanding between the two Houses, at a time when each had Aeported itself in a manner to show the possession of the confidence and satisfaction of the country. Surely all would hail with satisfaction and ratify with pieasure the settlement arrived at, which was Satisfactory and statesmanlike, After the conclusion of Mr. Disracli's speech the amendments were agreed to without a division, The result was recetved with great cheering.

Completion of the Line from France to the United States. The American End Landed at Duxbury, Mass. Interesting Particulars of the Landing. SCENES AND INCIDENTS OF THE DAY. Doxsury, Mass., July 23, 1869, The steamers having the Amerjcan shore end cable on board arrived at this place this morning, the wire working in perfect order. The cable was successfully landed this afternoon, and the United States 1g now in direct communication with France and the other continental countries of Europe, The fond wishes of the friends of the Franco-Amer- iean telegraph cable are now fully realized, The whole enterprise has been a success from beginning to end, and now for the first time the two great Con- Unents are connected by a single ciroult of the mod- ern electric telegraph, From Brest, in France, to this obscure town of Duxbury—away; down here where the pilgrims disembarked from the May- flower—there 1s an uninterrupted and instantaneous line of communication, The French cable is the means of this, and itis a matter of not only national but of universalrejoicing. Civilization, education, frater- nal feeling, political harmony and general good feeling all around will be the inevitable result, The triumph of the enterprise is the entering wedge to the inevitable splitting of a great and odious mo- nopoly, and the end of which will bring out a unt. versal amen from all parts of the world. The history of the French cable is already familar to the public; for from the moment of its conception up to this hour of its successful completion the suc- cessive details have been fully given from time to time in the columns of the Heraup. Efforts have been made to crush the enterprise at every step of its advancement, but the projectors and managers went forward with untiring and fear- less industry, and have overcome all stumbling blocks which were thrown in thoir way. Even the Mogical and threatening opinions of Attorney General Hoar anf Secretary Fish were practicaliy ignored, and while the Chilcern steamed Into Massa- chusetts Bay this forenoon it ia doubtful if those on board or tie cable officials on shore gave a passing thought to the Ink which lad been wasted in a vain effort to overthrow or retard one of the greatest enterprises of modern civilization—an enterprise which Is not only calculated to be beneficial to our own country, but one which will undoubtedly prove an incentive of wholesome advancement to the whole civilized world, ARRIVAL OF THE PLEET. The arrival this morning of the steamers bearing the cable was @ solution to @ very perplexing enigma. Nothing had been heard trom the expedi- tion since the last HeraLp special, announcing its arrival at St. Pierre, and for thls reason it was very generally and very reasonahly supposed that the fleet had not started from that island. From the fact that despatches were sent to this country from the fleet every day after its departure from St. Pierre, and from thé further fact that none of them were ever received here, it is safe to share tn the common belief that there was a censor either at this or the other end of the Atlantic cable, who did not care to afford the friends of the French enterprise any opportimity to rejoice over its suocess- fal completion, In consequence of this veto upon the messages hither via the Atlantic cable there was absence of any intelligence concerning the whereabouts of the feet, and the supposition was general that it had not even yet left St. Pierre. Last night, however, one of the officers in charge of the American terminus received a private telegram stating that the fleet would arrive to-day, and before he could come down from Boston this morning beth the Chiltern and Scauderea were discovered coming up the Duxbu ry Bay. EXCITEMENT IN DUXLURY. There was, of course, the utmost excitement throughout the town. What little commerciai and manufacturing business there is was suspended for tue valance of the week, and those engaged in agri- cultural pursuits left their harvests to the mercy of a burning sun, @ pelting rain, or any other infiction nature might send down upon them. The cable was coming, aud all were bound to see the ceremonies of landing. The town of Dux- bury, it must be known, is a small town, and when a full thousand were gathered along the beach of the Hummock there were not many left at home. It was about ten o'clock when the citizens discovered this morning that the Chiltern and Scanderea were approaching the bay. What few national ensigns there were ac- cessi ble were thrown to the breeze, and every con- ceivable eonvareace Was brought into requisition to convey the; curious over to the Hummock, the place of lauding, The inuumerablée yachts, scujis id dories were also industriousiy employed in cruisin; around the beach, preparatory to approaching th vessels Wien they should come nearer to the shore, STEAMING IN OF THE FLEET, Eloven, twelve and one o’ciock came along as regular as ever in the history of the old man of the seythe, and with the Passing of each hour the dis. tance between the anxlous gazers on shore and the vessels bearing the important cable was perceptible and rapidly diminished. As the hour of two proached they came nearer and nearer, and at pre- cisely five minutes of two the propeller of the Scan- derea ceased to revolve and she’ came to anchor within a short half mile of the beach. Thé Chiltern, which had the cable on board, and was paying out the shore end of the same very carefully, was at this time about a mile from shore, but this distaace was shortened In the course of an hour to such an ex- tent that she came up alongside the Scanderea and then came to anchor, During all this time there was a fleet of some forty or fifty yachts cruising around, and when the steamer came to a full stop a number of the prominent citi. zeus of tae town went on board and congratulated th oficers and crew upon thelr triumph. It is hordly necessary to add that the bond of iriendsni between Francé and America and between Bres! and Duxbury was strongly cemented, and that nu- inerous complimentary and social sentiments were imbived. LANDING OF THD CBI! During all this time the most active preparations for Janding the shore ead of the cable were going forward, aud at avout fivein the afternoon every- thing was in readiness, A couple of small boats were lashed together, and upon their top waserected a platform, and upon tus Was placed a coll of cadie auificient to reach the beach, These joined poais, with their cable coll, were then paddled slowly shoreward, and when they came to ground the joily tai with @ round or two of nautical cheers leaped overboard and with their united muscle hauled the balance of the cable up to dry tand. ‘This was indeed the critical moment, for it was the first ime the United States was directly connected with Europe by a telegraphic cable. The circle was complete between two great nations and signals of congratulation upon the success of the enterprise Were exchanged between Duxbury, mi Massachusetts, and Brest, in France. To use an old and expressive phrase, “fime and space had been annihilated,” and everybody who witnessed luis simple aud rough proceeding of land- ing felt that tae era Of modern progress and univers gal civilization, © aa id — amnesty, had dawned upon ft great continents, ‘The cable Was ® reality and {ts practical working established, for omy ® few moments before the end was detached from the instruments oa the Chiltern Mr. Varley, the chtef electrician, received a message [rom bis family in London, announcing their mubility to come to this country by the next steamer. Other despatches were also received pre- viously during the day, among them one announc- ing toe rise m_ the stock of the French Cable Com- pany on the Exchango in London and Paris, a quotation Which, It 8 safe to assume, will not appear to-morrow morning in the financtal and stock re- ports forwarded over the Atlantic cable, It may be woll to remark in this conuection that, during tye entire journey from Brest to St. Pierre, the priu- oh yal stocks in England were regularly reported and a bulletin of the quotations Lage up in the various steamers comprising the cable feet. JOURNRY OF THE EXPRDITION, The journey of the expedition Was barren of those exciting and eventiut mcidents which many woud aitribute to one of ils magnitude and importance. ‘There were, of course, a few mishaps and aceidents, but while they were generally slight and easily re- wired] chey Were in some cases very mysterious. ilaving received her portion of the vabie, the Great Kastern left Portiand at half past eight on toe morn. tig of June 19, and at four on the following even- jug sno anchored off Brest. ‘the Cuiltern had two days previously laid five miles of the shore end to about that digiguce out from Preparations reat. Pp tly Tae euemeaces at orcs, bat coming in tide swung the Great Eastern ima comtracy direction, wad the work of laying bet! and America was eommenced, Her aver- age speed was about four knots per hour. iverything went along well unti about half-past three on the morning of the 24th, when theelectri- cal instraments indicated that’ there was some fault, The cireutt had not entirety disappeared, but it was evident that there was an escape somewhere and that the cause must be detected and removed. This was tn about 2,000 fathoms of water. The en- gines were stopped at once and about a mile of the cable hauled back, when it was found that there was @ puncture in it, which had then affected, and would have in tine Ke tm | destroyed, the insulation. The puncture penetra: lear through the tron cover- ing, also through the gutta percha, and it was evi. dently done by some sharp ipstrument. When, where, how and by who’ it was done ig @ mystery. There were no tncidents of particular account subsequent to this, until the 28th, when @ similar fault from a similar cause was dls: covered and repaired inthe same way, the punc- tured portion being cut out and a new aplice made, On the following three days everything went well. The weather was fine, the signals pertect, and every- body on board was in high giee. On the 30th Inst., however, there was another leak or escape discov: ered in the cable, and the fears that another punc- ture would be discovered were fully realized. While attempting to recover it for the purpose of repairing it there came up @ heavy gale from the soutu west, which rendered tt geri A to cut and buoy the cable. This was done in 2,000 fathoms of water, and the gale lasted for two days, during which time the great steamer cruised around, anxtonsly awaiting the calm which, it is said, always follows @ storm. On the 2d of July the sea ceased to be turbulent, and the buoyed portion of the cable was spliced, the third mysterious fault discovered and removed, and the Great Eastern then resumed her journey. The following day, July 3, there was another gale, but the old craft survived it and the cable was payed out continually, but not as rapidly as in calm wea- ther. From the 4th to the 10th, inclusive, everthin; went along well, and on the latter day the Island o: St, Pierre was reached. Here there was consider- able of a tarry. The shore end from St. Pterre in the direction of Duxbury had been previously laid by the sveamer William Currie. The services of the Great Eastern ended at St. Pierre and her work was taken up by the steamers Scandarea and Chiltern, which com- posed the fleet arriving here to-aay, The Scandarea did the business from St. Pierre and spliced ber cable on tothe shore end on the morning o1 the 13th, Communication was found to be perfect and con- gratulations were exchanged between the Emperor Napoleon and the officers of the cable, the time occu- pied in the transmission both ways being less taan an hour, On the 14th the steamer anchored for @ short time between St. Pierre and Miquolon, but on the after- noon Fe the 16th she resumed her journey. On the 16th there was not much done, and on tie 171 there came apa ge which necessitated the cutting and buoying of the cable. On the following day, how- ever, a splice was made and the paying out of the cabie Cale pede E again. Lyerything went alon; well unti} the 20th, when an entangiement snappe the cable in twain; but this was ropaired in uine hours, and the work proceeded without interruption until the following morning, when @ thick fog caused the Chiltern to be temporarfy lost. She was soon found, however, and on the 2.:d the Scandarea having paid ont all her tine, the Chiltern made a splice and came into Duxbury to-day wiih the American shore end of the successfully laid Franco- American ay Sc Cable. Of the whole stretch of cable between here and Brest the Great Eastern paid out 8,448 tons, or 3,564, miles, the Scandarea 450 miles, and the Chiltern 168 mies. WHEN BUSINESS WiLL)COMMENCE, As to when business will be commenced on this new cable nothing definite can besaia, The London Telegraph and Maintenance Company laid the cable by contract, and one of the terms was that it should work successfully thirty days before being accepted. Shr James Anderson, who represents the com- pany which has performed tue service, will be here to-morrow or Monday, and then some definite arrahgement will be made. By the time of bis arrival the land oonnectious throughout tie country will be perfect. CELEERATIONS TO TAKE PLACE, ‘The advent of thé cable here will be celebrated by the cilizens on Tuesday.

PRESIDENT GRANT AT LONG BRANCH. The Movements of the President=A Clan. bake—The Senson. Stetson Hovsg, LONG Brancu, July 23, 1869, The President returned yesterday afternoon from New York in the first train, and we saw but littic of him during the evening. He still wears the same sult of black in whioh he arrived, the same black hat, placed on the back of his head and pulled well down over his ears, and there is no perceptible change in him in any way that Ican discover. If he would only relieve his monotony; if he would only break out and be boisterous for once; if he would only get excited and let us see how he looks when he gets mad, or do something uncommon, even to dressing in light colors and a straw hat, it Would help matters somewhat and give us some- thing to say. Now, if he would only invite one to make him an informal call and discuss the situation in an informal manner, why he would be serving one of his best friends, and the country at the same time, What a godsend it would be in this wilderness for items. How we couid branch out and what a show We could make the nextday. Dear me, how others would envy us at being successful in what every other ey to man has atiempted in vain, It is & pity that his light should be kept so much hid un- der a bushel when there iz so much brilliancy in it; when its rays if exposed —_s benefit the whole country, There ts much that might be told that would do no Harm, that could be published without giving ald and comfort to the enemy; but no, it is retained with dipiomatio secrecy, and unless he can be persuaded by constant importunity, salt air and soft crabs to reveal somothing, I fear that what he says and does while here will remain of compara- tively little interest to our countrymen or the world at argey ahisaternoon there is to be a clambake in his honor, at which a large number of persons wili be resent, The whole roree of the Stetson and Astor Houses has been taxed, even to having Banty him- self here to superintend, in order that the festtval shail be in all respects as clambakes are when suc- cessful. Now there will be a chance to see if he can be brought out, for ifa man can’t be made to say something at a clambake before it ts over, why it 1s no use to try on any other occasion. There is Some- thing in Clains that 1s talkative—that compels a per: son to say something; at least I have noti this at every clambake that I have attended, and naturally suppose it must be the clams that produce the effect. We wait to see low it will be, if his Excel- lency will preside, and if, when he adjourns the meeting, it will be by jumping on the table and ex- claiming. in @ sensation voice, varied by an ocean. fonal hiccough, “Come, boys, let's break the crockery and go home”? It is very evident that everything is beiag done to make tho President and family bn | themselves, and if old Ocean could be made to roll in thé secon story windows, 80 that a wash, as weil as everyting else, could be had within their rooms, why, 1 kuow that Stetson would have it done or it himseif, But Neptune won't consent—he claims to be tie oldest sovereign—and if any one, let him be king or president, wishes to derive benefit irom him they must come in person to his dominion. THE SEASON I think is improving, the crowd is increasing, and a week more wili give us the height for this summer, Last evening the best hop yet came o/fat this house— 1 say the best because the floor was occupied by adults instead of children with flesh colored silk short dresses and fancy costumes, who have heretofore been dancing to the exclusion of older persons, when they should have been, ac- cording to old-fashioued rules, in bed aud asleep. By far the most pleasant portion of my visit here is in listening to some of our lady guests singing. We number some of the best amateurs I have ever yen [can hear such [ care nothing for One in particular has a voice of r, compass and richness, and she iy given’ us that exquisite ballad “sleep yh uauner thatis hard to excel.

After a few remarks by the President cheers were given and the guests departed.

There 1s reat interest felt among all the residents of Long Branch to make the balk @ complete success, and no efforts are being spared. by the Committee of Arrangements to render this compliment to the President what it should be. ‘The military bands of Governor's Isiand and Fort Hamilton have tendered their services and will be present upon the occasion, OBITUARY. Henry H. Crapo. A telegram from Detroit announces the death of ex-Governor Henry H. Crapo, of Michigan, at his residence, in Flint, yesterday morning. The de- ceased gentieman was a prominent politician of Michigan. In 1864 he was elected Governor of the State by a somewhat larger majority than Liacolm obtained over McCicllan, In 1866 he was nominated and again eiected by & largely increased majority. At the expiration of his term of oMice, on tie tat day of January last, Mr. Crapo returued to private life. He was, of course, a republican in politics and of a strongly radical cast of iaeas. During tne atruggie between President Jolinson and Congress he gave @ hearty support to tne latter, favoring tts every measure of reconstruction. He never, how- ever, became distinguished in nationui poitiics, ‘With the private career of the ex-Governor we are unacquainted. Michael J. Dunne.
