New York, July 15.—A special to the Herald, from London, July 14, says : There is reliable authority for stating that the offer of glebes to the Catholic priesthood will be respectfully declined by the Church on the ground that it is op posed to the discipline of the church,and that the proposition is unfair and insuffi cient as a just equalization between the religious communities of Ireland, eon sidering the disproportion of numbers, even if it were admissible under the church regulations. THE IRISH CHURCH BILL IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. London, July 15.—1n the House of Commons the Irish bill, as amended in the House of Lords, came up for consid eration. There was a full attendance of members, and the galleries were crowded. Mr. Gladstone rising, was greet ed with loud cheers by the Liberals, and derisive shouts from the Tory benches. He said, with respect to the amendments which had been made to the bill, that the Government proposed to restore tiie preamble and the date o: disestablish ment as they appeared iu the original bill. They should agree to the amendments relating to curates' annuities and to the protection of annuitants, with some modification ; but all the other amend ments they should oppose, with the single exception of the grant of buff a million pounds in lieu of private benefactions made before 16fi0. Mr. Disraeli said although the abstract principles of the bill had been repeatedly discussed, there had been little discussion on the details of its provisions. He hoped the amendments made would receive calm consideration. Mr. Gladstone then moved that the House disagree to the preamble as amended. He thought concurrent en dowinent, which the Lords had in view, a very different scheme from that of Mr. Pitt, which contemplated an established Catholic Church side by side with the established Church, and under State con trol Concurrent endowment as now un- derstood.was totally opposed to the prin ciples of the bill,and was of such a char acter as to be entirely opposed to the spirit of the time. If the House could be induced to agree to it, it was certain that the coun try, especially large constituencies, would never sanction it. He strongly advo cated the appropriation of the surplus funds as originally proposed, with a pro viso reserving to Parliament control over them. Mr. Disraeli thought the House ought to agree to the amended preamble. He asserted that the House of Lords did not desire the reservation of surplus funds for concurrent endowment,and ridi culed the plan for its appropriation. He hoped the House would prevent such a waste of public funds, and not allow them to be dealt with in this loose and vague manner. Mr. Ball, member for Dublin Univer sity, thought the restoration of the orig inal preamble would be fatal to many advantages secured to the Church by the Lords. Mr. Bright admitted that at a former time he had proposed something like the present scheme of concurrent endow ment, hut declared that public feeling was now totally opposed to religious en dowments, and no minister would be able to carry such a scheme. He felt that all the plans save the one originally propos ed by the bill were so full of difficulties that it would be idle to discuss them. Sir Roundell Palmer, although not a supporter of concurrent endowment, con sidered that, under the circumstances, grants for residences to the clergy of the great majority, could not be refused out of that fund,whieh,contrary to ideas, they had declared was wrongfully taken from the great majority and used for the re ligious purposes of the minority. Unless some proposal of this kind was agreed to, they would never establish re ligous equality or satisfy the expectations of the Irish. They refuse this small boon to the great majority. The House then divided, and the amendment of the House of Lords, with respect to endowments, was disagreed to by a vote of 346 against 222 ; majority for Government 124. The amendmentin regard to the ap propriation of the surplus funds was al so disagreed to —246 against 164. Mr. Gladstone then moved the restor ation of the original date, viz : the Ist day of January, 1871 for dissolution of the Legislative Union between the Churches of England and Ireland, and after some discussion the date was re stored without division, when the House adjourned. THE TIMES ON SPANISH AFFAIRS. London, July 15.—The Times says the progress of Spain toward an enlightened commercial policy will soon become a necessity with a more liberal tariff sys tem it will be difficult for home produce to compete with American, and they will be unable any longer to monopolize them arket’s of the Antilles. Under these circumstances Cuba will become useless to Spain, and pride alone can lead her to hold on to a dominion disputed in the teeth of the best Spanish troops, Prim, and other statesmen are convinced that the separation of Cuba is only a matter of time. National honor prevents Spain from taking such a step as loug as the insurrection prevails, but when the blind is pacified, the natural dictates of reason ought to be listened to. Cuba is valuable, Spain wants cash and a purchaser is at hand. Should the Island be canvass M plebiscitum, it would result in favor of annexation to the United States. The only serious question is, can the Americans at this moment afford the purchase money. It is for the advantage of both hemispheres that each should follow its own course untramelled by the interference of the other. Spain, like Russia and Denmark, may well consent to sell the remainder of her translantic possessions. It is for tunate she has anything left to sell. FRANCE. THE NEW CABLE —MESSAGE TO THE EM PEROR. Sr. Pierre, Miquelon, July 14, 1860. —The ocean cable was spliced to the shero end to-day by the steamer William Corry. The cause of the failure to splice yes terday was that the shore end was lost. The buoy was easily found, but when taken up it was discovered that the cable was detached and it was therefore ne cessary to grapple for it. Directly the splice was made the in struments and the full staff of operators were sent on shore and communication was soon opened with Brest. Sir James Anderson, the commander of the Great Eastern, had brought with him a sealed message which had been prepared by the Emperor Napoleon, and rke purport of which was to remain un- known until it was opened on this side the Atlantic upon the completion of the cable, when the message was to be sent to the Emperor over the wires in order that he might thus judge of the accura cy of the transmission. This message was sent to France to-day. POLITICAL RUMORS. It is rumored that Prince Napoleon will be made President of the Council, Barouche President of the Senate, and Mirol a Senator, while Rouher will be come a cadidatc for a vacant seat in the Corps. THE FRENCH PRESS ON THE POLITICAL SITUATION. Paris, July 15.—French Journals comment unfavorably on the prorogation of the Corps Legislatif before the verifi cation of the elections was completed. The Government is accused of closing the Chambers with the design of stifling discussion. The session will probably be resumed the 20th of August. SPAIN. Madrid, July 15. —In the Cortes yes terday, Prim introduced the new Minis ters, and remarked that the present Cabi net was constituted from the majority, and though the men be changed the policy of the Government was unchanged. The Republican Deputies replied, making a severe attack on the Government policy. AUSTRIA. SERIOUS DISTURBANCES AT BRUNN. Vienna, July 15.—Severe tumults took place this week among the workmen at Bruun. The military were called out and fired upon the mob, killing two and wounding twelve The crowds have dis persed, but great excitement still pre vails there, and the authorities are taking every precaution to prevent the threaten ed renewal of disorder. SWITZERLAND. LITERARY TREATY RATIFIED. Berne, July 15.—Switzerland has ratified the treaty of commerce with the Zollverien Convention for the protection of literary property with the North Ger man Confederation, and the naturaliza tion treaty with Wurtemburg. LATER FROM GREAT BRITAIN. THE CHURCH BILL ANOTHER SERIOUS ORANGE RIOT THE CHURCH MILITANT. London, July 16.—1n tbe House of Commons last evening the Irish Church Bill, as amended by the Peers, was taken up. The amendment giving glebe houses tree of building charge w.is, after a short debate, rejected—326 to 251, and the amendment granting glebes to Catholics and Presbyterians was negatived without a division. The Times has an editorial on the ac tion taken by the Commons last eveuing. It says the bill will go back to the House of Lords almost in its original shape. The Commons decided that the amend ments adopted by the Lords are inconsis tent with the bill, and there is no reason to believe the Commons will surrender. If the Lords persist, a collision must en sue, which will result in popular agita tion and the renewal of the measure, with a fierce determination to carry it through. Too Times trusts the Conser vative Peers will be content with the presentation of the Earl of Derby’s protest, which usage allows them, and not continue then - opposition to the bill At Lurgan, In Ireland, on the 12th, an Orange mob were pelted with stones. They retaliated by destroying 17 houses occupied by Catholics. The woodwork of the buildings was then carried into the street and burned. Order was restord at last advices. At Ncwry an Orange hall was attack ed by the Catholic party. The occupants fired on their assailants aud drove them off, leaving three of them on the field badly wounded. Meetings of the people in support of the Commons on the Irish Church Bill continue in various parts of the King dom. John Bright has been unanimously elected a member of the Athanaeam club. The Reform League contemplate an indignation demonstration against the House of Lords. » EARL derby’s PROTEST. London, July 15.—The protest against the Irish Church Bill, by Earl Derby, is signed by 47 Peers. It was entered against this bill ou the ground that it looked to the severance of the Church and State, a project unrecognized by any country in Europe. The adoption of the bill would en courage the designs of those who want! such severance extended throughout the I United Kingdom, together with the re-! sumption of grants and confiscations of! property. The protest further states that' the passage of the bill was a violent' stretch of the power of Parliament w j;r destroys confidence in all property especially that resting on Parliament title. tar ? The protest sets forth the i of putting the disestablished and dewed Church on the footing and o rs ization of the Catholics, and that tP grievance caused the alienation of !»•: ' Protestants from the loyal supporters *'/• the Throne, and stimulation in the ’ mands of Catholics. CONSIDERATION OF THE IRISH CH’ -'f , BILL IN THE HOUSE OF COMMON'S London, July 16—Midnight. I n c,,, House of Commons to-night the consider, ation of the Irish Church Bill was c tinued. Mr. Gladstone approved of theanienu ment granting half a million of pound for private endowments made pfiot - 1660, but moved to disagree to the n ro vision continuing the Ulster gi ants. ' * Mr. Disraeli thought a clear under standing ought to be arrived at. If g. policy of the Government had for its ob ject. religious equality, it could not be obtained by humiliating the Irish Church and leaving it to compete with the ancient hierarchy in Christendom. H thought the proposal of the Lords un reasonable. Mr. Stafford Northcote thought sl r Gladstone’s proposal would convert the Irish Church iuto a voluntary missionary church, contributions for the support of which could only be obtained by stirring up bad feelings against Catholic neigh bors. It would be an advantage to flu Protestants to enjoy free proper endow ments, and he asked as an act of justice and expediency that the glebes be left t >. them. Sir Roundell Palmer supported the Lord's amendment. The amendment granting a half mil lion pounds for private endowments was agreed to. The amendment e ntinuing the Ulster grants was rejected—34s to 240. The announcement of the result was received with cheers from the Ministeri al benches. Mr. Disreali intimated that it wa; n necessary for the House to divide on anv of the other amendments except that to clause 68, postponing the disposition e: the surplus funds. Mr. Gladstone moved to disagree to and Mr. Disraeli supported the L >rd amendment. He thought the Govern ment plans were not well matured, and ought to be left for future consideration, Mr. Bright said the distribution of the surplus was a different matter. The Government had made minute in quiries as to the suitable destination e: income arising from surplus. He had no interest other than a member of the House or contrary to the wishes of the Irish people. Every one acknowledged that the money was properly Irish, and ought to be applied for the benefit of Ireland This plan was open to the least objection. To leave the matter open would ®n;y pave the way for future embarrassment He applealed to the House not to put an obstacle in the way of ttie passage of the bill. The county had confided with the full est sincerity in the Government desire to make Ireland an integral part of t Kingdom, and her connection with Eng land closer. The amendment was then rejected by a vote of 290 against 218. Great cheer ing greeted the result. Digging Betwixt the Rows of Straw berry Plants.— There is a diversity oi opinon among gardeners as to the injar; e benefit which the plant may derive koo deep digging. The late Mr. Keen. Isleworth, the raiser of the well-know, variety, Keen’s Seedling, was an advocate for shallow digging. It is just possible that his soil was rather light, and that, the strawberry plant delights to grow in a tenacious or good loamy soil, he objected to deep digging in order to avoid loosening the subsoil. I should be willing to ab:ue by his authority on the subject, were i not that in the neighborhood ct Enne.L from whence the London markets are yto plied annually with largequaotitiesoi irui > I have observed that quite the opposite y- Mr. Keen’s practice is adopted: the grot'- betwixt the rows is deeply dug, aad ahoy ed to remain rather rougly so thaytav ■ ••• thus disturbed may derive benefit uoin the influence of the atmosphere in ? eD J Crating it Besides this, the constant key ing betwixt the row's makes it desira that, once a year, the soil should be due - some depth between the rows,, that t-y may derive nourishment from the qqyy j which may be applied, and to ada.ity • Spring and early Summer run-. -j‘ water that it is necessary should b- ‘y to theia during their bearing ' 1 Gardin cr's JJ igazi.ne. ■— The name of the English poet. . has just been given a street nc . : ; y ia the Faubourg Mon'inatre.
