Great Britain.—The (Liberal) Daily
News declares that the. nation cannot ac•
cept of the Irish Chum*Bill as amended
by the Lords, as the changes affect its es
sential character. The Times takes the
same ground,, especially as, t regards the
postponement of the dimises providing l4r
the disposal of the surprus funds, which it
—with the Duke of Argyle—regards as
looking to concurrent endowment of the
three Churches. It thinks the mation rea
dy to go so far as to provide residences for,
the Romanist and Presbyterian clergy, but
doubts whether the Lords really care for
this. At all events, the Protestant supre
macy must be destroyed without multiply
ing Establishments. The Star thinks hard
ly one of the athendments enduiable. The
Liberals are preparing for a series of im
posincr popular demonstrations in favor of
the Bill—to b which Mr. Gladstone reluctant
ly consents—to show that no revolution
has taken place in public sentiment. They
are prepared to accept three of the unim
portant amendments.
—On Friday the Bill came up in the
Lords on report of the Committee of the
Whole. May IstelB7l was substituted for
Jan. Ist, 1873 throeighOut. The motion to
give the crown the Choice from three nom
inees of the Church for vacant. Protestant
and Romanist bishoprics was offered and.
withdrawn. The-motion, tod-par the 'lto
manists and' Presbyterians on a level with
Episcopalians as regards glebe lands, by
restoring clause 21, was - rejected. Earl
Denbigh.said that the'ii,ontianistsiwill not
accept any glebe lands. It was voted to
give the Episcopalians MOO,OOO ,as com
pensation tor private endowments from
1560 to 1660. [The existence of these en
dowments is denied ] The report was then
received, but the Tories announced their
plan to move its virtual rejection on the
third reading. .
—The motion asking information in re
gard to the Alabama negotiations has again
been postponed at the request of Mr. Glad
stone, who thinks that as the U. S. do not
regard the correspondence as closed by the
rejectiOn of the JOhnson Ireaty, , thinge
still under negotialion will advance better
through silenee. NegotiatiOns, however,
will be postponed, by mutual conient, for a
time until public opinion is in a more fa
vorable state. The Times rejoices in' this
decision, as debate is uncalled for unless
some censure -had been thrown onLords :
Clarendon or Stanley. 1t thinks that the' .
next advances, must come frOm the U. 5.,,
THE A,ME RICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY JULY 15, 1869.
ince they have reji Med a treaty made,
cobbled and amended by their own states
men for mere partizan reasons.
—A Trades Union Bill is before the
Commons, legalizing such organizations.
It will not pass, but the discussions in re
gard to it indicate a great revolution in
sentiment, brought about by the investi
gations and report of the Parliamentary
Commission. The Times says a Bill on
the same principle will be introduced by
the Government next session. The Bir
mingham Chamber of Commerce petitions
against it, as it leaves employers exposed
to intimidation. •
—Gladstone announces that English
'policy in Asia is to benefit subjects by its.
rule,, and that both she and Russia wished
Afgnanistan to remain neutral ground be
tween the zones of their respective influ
ence. The Bill to buy up the telezraphi
and combine them with the Poet Office—
making them', a monopoly after New
Year's day,. involves an outlay of £7,000-
000. The,Lords reject the Life Peerages
Bill.

—ln the year 1866 a star blazed up
in the constellation of the Northern
Crown, rapidly. • attaining • the second"
magnitude. It soon began to decline in
brightness, falling in twelve days to tbe
eighth magnitude. It was. subject to
spectroscopic observation by William
Huggins, shortly after it began to fade::
This experienced observer was,surprised,
with the phenomenon of two distinct
spectra. One o4tbese was the ordinary
spectrum of dark lines, showing the ex=
istence of a photosphere of incandescent,
solid or liquid matter, inclosed ,in _a
vaporous atmosphere. Overlying this
was a spectrum consisting of four bright
lines. This ,plainlY proved the exist-
once of a second source of light, shown
by its peculiar spectrum to be a luminous
gas . Two of these lines were thepromi
nent hydrogen ,lines, and their great
brightness lowed the gas to be hotter
than the photosphere. The conclusion
was obvious : the beholder beheld , a
blazing world. 'A sudden flood of free
hydrogen gas had apparently bnrstfrom
the interior of the star, and was fiercely.
'burning in contact with some other, ele
ment. The intense heat of ' this confla
gration had also heated the photosphere,
so as to.render its spectrum more vivid.
If, then, the stars are thus liable to ,be
come enwrapped in the flames of burn---
lug hydrogen, we may speculate, as to.
whatAvould be the fate of the inhalti 7
tants of the planets were our sun, to
~emultite the vagaries of its: sister orb, ; .
and r harst •out in, mighty conflagration.

MUSICAL Doisos.—Since Mr. Horace Waters
gave up publiihing"eheet music he ha's devoted
his whole capital and attention to the niantifac
' tura and sale of. Pianos and Melodeons.. He has
just issued a qatalogue of his new instruments,
giving a new scale of prices, which shows a
marked reduction 'from; former rates,: and his
Pianos have recently , been awarded, the ,
Premium at several Fairs. Many people of the
preserlt day, who are attracted, if litrt confused,
with' the . flaming advertisements -of rival piano
houses, probably overlook a modest manufacturer
like ldr. W w
aters; but we happen ; to koo that his
idstruntaits` earned him a good' i eputation' Idtig
before' Expositions and the i' . -honots" connected
therewith were ever thought of; indeed,we have
one of Mr. Waters' piano ; fortes now in eon-resi
dence (where it has stood for 'years.) of 'which
any manufacturer in the world might well be
proud. We have always been delighted with it
as a sweet-toned and pewerfur,mstrument, and
there is no doubt of its (Um - ability; more` than
this, some of the best amateur players; in the
city, as several celebrated pianists, have•perform
