Tht Irish CUuicb (ustloa, A London letter ot July 17 remarks: Lord Denb gh's letter to Lord Deroy Is, a might be expected, a cleur and mauly exposition ot the attitude wbich he ha tilt bouud to take towards the conservative party, with whom be generally acts, lu cousequeLce of ttie Irih i:hlln h oneslion. I.or.l D. nh oh hlumo. thn Yarty lor not having boidly laced tbe settlement juf the question lu the tame way tbat they did that ot the relorm question last year. There is a remarKaole article in the number of the Eolubureh Jieeiew just Issued on the subject. The writer indicates that disestablish ment will consist iu tue bishops ceasing to sit in the Uou.-c of Lords; but that the Irish Church will remain a part ol the United Church of 5j.ugiHuu nuu ireiauo, uuu mat ine yueen will remain its bead, as the Pope is the head of the lioman Catholic Church. ! The fmptrial Jievtew points out that "the line Of argument by which tbe diaestablipbment and flffcrnrlnwrnent. ot rhn ilhnreh in IfvlfLTifi via advocated bv Mr. Bright at Liuieriuk wax rather the contingent advautnpes to be reaped by the Protestants ot Ireland man t nose witn wbicn. we are low laminar, aim witn wqicd mr. yuin- llvan and his IrleLds probubly expected to be edibed tboe, we nieao, tbat have reterenne to the 'nadee ol conquest' and 'justice to Ireland.' Mr. Bright would, ol course, have ceased to bs Mr. Bright had h.s eloquence faued to ouvey undoubtedly against his will one or two sedi tious inuendoes. It hai become a lavorite figure ol speech with those who scarcely care to dis claim ulterior objects, to exclude their present consideration by tbesiuiple exoedieutof po-tpon-ing them to a n.ore convenient tcason. Thus we were informed that the separation of Ireland from England is not to be discussed at present, just as rad.cal newspapers are never tired of averting tbat the position of the E-tablished Church in Knglaud is not meuaced by Mr. Gladstone's movement seaiust its lnau branch. But wbaever migbt have been tbe teeliugs with whv.ch Mr. Brnrht's iiiiaeiuary Protestants migut have been disposed to regard any delay in tbe repeal of the Onion, his actual bearers did not appear to approve even ol such a modti rate couceueiou to the ordinary Euvlish preju dice against the dWu tion of tbe empire." In tbe llous-eot Lord-, ou the I7tb of July, Lord Redesdale moved an a idress for a copy of the coronation oath. He thought it important that the religious upeci of the Question of tne rdisestablisbuient of the Insh Church should be considered instead of the merely political, as hitherto. WbileconccdingtotbeDukeot Argyll that gifts to the Church were not necessarily gifts lor the service ot God, he denied that the true test was whether or not they produced peace and good will. The property of the Irish Cburcb, perhap.", did not now extend peace and good will; but that would not justify us who believed in the trirbs of Protestatiilsai in secu larizing the tuud for maintaining and propag-tt-Lg those truths. Alter re'erriug to tho very recent origin ot the agitation lor disestablish ment, to tbe manifest party motives wbich bad actuated tbose who raised i', and to tbe de thronement ot Kins James II., he proceeded to criticise the theory ol "Historic'is" iu the Lou don Jwiesof Thursday, particularly In respect to the charge of profanity brought by that writer against the advocates of a contrary view. Ine motion was agreed to without discussion. Ttoa Blockade of BXazatlaB. In the House of Lords on the evening of the 19th! The Earl of Denbigh rose to inaulre whether it were true that a frigate was blockading the port of Mazatlan, and if so, whether such block ade had been duly authorized by her Msjesty iu coiinci' and published In the Gazette. Toe noble lord remarked that, siuee be had placed his LOttce on the paper, further particulars respecting the alleged blockade had been pub lished in the newspapers. The blockading of a port was a very important operation, aud ought to be curried out in a very cautions manner, lie iiiielit remark tbat, home ears airo, in con sequence ot tbe blockade of Jddah, great dilli euUies and complications bad arisen. If the account of wLut La i occurred at Mazatlan were accurate, the British commander appeared to have behaved in an outrageous manner, aud to have proved himself unrit to remain lu her Majesty's setvlce. tie would not take up any more of their lordships' time, but would simply ask whether tbe Government had received ary authentic information on that matter. Tbe Karl of Malmesbury In reulv to tbe question of my noble friend 1 have to state that her Majesty's Government have not received auy ot those details wtncti ne seems to have obtained through tbe American newspapers. Your lordships will Judge for yourselves for 1 cannot pronounce any opinion on tbe subject whether thore details are likely to be autheutie or not. All tbat ber Majesty's Government hHve heard is that on the 4ih of July tbe Ad turalty learnt by a telegram tbat an outrace having been committed on some British leumcn or Bn'ish subie3ts 1 know not exactly which Captain Bridges, ot the Cban tipiper. took uoon himself f fctop the en trafcee to tbe port of Mazetlan. I quite agree with my noble friend in stating that au otlictr has no right on his own responsibility to commit such an act as that. At the same time there are circumstances which justify breathes of the law, as your lordships know, But. not knowing any of those circumstances, no npinl'in can bo pronounced on lha-. point. On tbe 10th or this month the Adrn'ralty also rrrtlved a telegraphic despatch from Vice-Ad-mlrsl Hastings, faying tbat he had sent orders to ( aptam Bridees'to laisethe block a ie. That Is all that we have heard on tbe subject, and no older authentic tnteliiceuce h is reached us. I cannot help here noticing what was said by my m ble friend with respect to a very grave event wbich occurred some years ago at Jeddah. He seemed to think very lightly ot It, Hnd talked of some sailors being stopped, or something ot that SO't. The Farl of Denbigh I eald "mortally in jured " Tbe Earl of MalmcFbury Not only were they motially ln)ured. but they were murdered. (A laupb ) Tbe Turkish authorities refjstng, after negotiation, to take any notice of tbe suniect or to bring the mutderers to Justice, Captain Pul len, wi h the full authority of his Government, homb'irded the town; and I have never hear ! before tbat tbat act of justice wns found tault with, either in this country or any other part of Europe. GERMANY. Awsttlam Polities-Vha VUtt of the q,u of Kaglaad. The Mrmorial J)iptomafiqiie, ol Paris, re marks: The German journals have for some tin.e been much preoccupied with tho shouting match wnich l to lake place at Vienna at the end of tbe month. A general cxpecta'aon pre vails that tho occurrence will not puss over without tonic poll ical mamfesta'ions of a chunicter more or less hostile to Prussia. The Austrian Government, however desirous it may be to avoid eveiything of a nature to give umbrage to a neighboring power, has hal to declare tLat it could not possibly prevent the projected meeting without violating the Interior laws of the Cis Leithan counties, and without injury to the commercial interests of the capi tal, which necessarily expects to derive a prodt from tbe meeting. The most singular point is tbat this inptliut on is of Prussian origin, as the Hcbwerin Ministry conceived tbe ideaot it iu 1859 and organized It at that period in connec tion with tbe famous association ot the National Verein. A letter from Gotha, dated the 11th of July, says: The Prince Royal of Prussia arrived bere to-day on his way to the Cnateau ot Reinhards brunn, known for its romantic situation in tbe midM of tbe forest of Thurineia. The Princess, with berin'ant children, has already been in stalled there a week. Tbe Queeu of England, who was at first exDected to pay a visit to the castle, will not do so; she will, on the contrary, arrive during the flt't week of next month at her daueh'er's, the Princess Alice ot Hesse. Her Malesty will atterwards slay at Rosenau, near Coburg. Since the death of Prince Albert she has always retained an affection tor this resi dence. The Independence Be'ge has tho subjoined: "As it is Known two of tbe Governments1 o' Southern Germany, Bavaria, and Wirtemberg have come to an arrangement lor a common occupation of Ulm, a fortress ot the drst order, and ot which the latter State, on whose territory it stands, could not alone furnish tbe gam-on or support the charge. The convention on this subject was signed and ratified on the If tb at SMultgard by tho Prime Ministers of tbe two countries, Prince de Honenlohe and M. de Varnbuhler. Tbe above matter only concerns tbe two (Mates mentioned, but Bavaria has pro posed to apply the principle to the common defense of all Southern Germany. She wi.hes to confide tbe study and organization of this system to a military commission formed by the fourfetates. We are not aware as yet whether Wurtenibtrtr has entered into the views of Prince de Hohenlohe; as for Hesse and the Grand Duchy ol Baden, the fact is more than doubtful whether they will bo willing to adhere to the proposition." SPAIN. Tb ReTOluMoaarjr Stata Prlioaera Plana for tho Dethroaaraanl of tho Quen- fnt Due dt lloatptailtr. The summer dullness of Cadiz i was en livened on the evening of the 9th Inst.

As Gonzales Brabo, like Ben Disraeli, is bouud to "stick," he has nipped this little arrangement lu tbe bud, and sent ine supposed leuuera to civers and sundry places out of Spain. The day after their arrival ine cnieta oi tue Liberal nartv har.rtsomelv entertained th"in iu the fort. It was "a Dow of soul," and had as much reaou as the generality ol Spanish "pow-wows." The Duke de Montpensicr has beou ordered to quit the peninsula alo. He left this morning, so I have been credibly intormed, San Lucar do Barremeda, w here ne generally resides ounug the bt'hiiig season, cn b.ard the Villa de Madrid for Fneland or Germany. He has invariably eschewed Spanish politics aud now we think he is more of a victim than a culprit. The people of Seville are indiguant at nis de portation, curse Bravo, do not blame the Queen. They are greatly attached to his family, all ot w hom were norn iu tne cuy. Bumots ot plots are as numerous as oranges in February. It isimmilerial to us who is up or down ou the peniuBula.

A letter from Madrid of the 10th of July states that, notwithstanding the measures taken by the Government, the situation of things was not less critical thun before, and a rising was ex pected at any momeut. A considerable quantity ot arms so the writer atlirms h-id beeu intro duced into tbe country, and the place of con cealment was not vet discovered by the police. There were flaus, too, in form and size and color resembling tbe royal standard, with the words, 'Down with the Bourbons," "Lite to a free neonle." and "Confederation" inscribed on them Tbe 7th or 9t U was to have been tbe day tor the rising, which was to have oocurrel during a bull tight, and was only prevented by the arrests. Years ago one of tho many iusurrectious lor which Barcelona Is famous began in the same wrv. aud the infuriated soldiers let louse the infuriated animals among tho people.

Most ol tne citizens present, however, being teetalleis, less champagne than usual whs quailed on tbe occasion: but what the celebration thus lacked in effervescence was Ttadeup for in solid good cheer, and hearty display of national confraternity. Scutiments were proposed and spoken to in lavor ot General Grant and Mr. Chase (tho nval candidates for the Presidency ), a Democrat with remarkable political charity proposing that lu compliment ot the former, and a Republican reciprocating tbe courtesy by spon-oring tbe toast in favor of the Chief Justice. Tii'.ugb each speaker of course declared his rival's man to be better than his own, it was agreed on all hands that either the General or the Judge will make an excellent national cb ef. Franco Tacba, recently nominated governor of the Lebanon In the place of Daoud Pacha, arrived at lie) rout on the 25th of Juue, aud was received with great honor. The priucipal func tiouarlts of the province and a great number of emirs, sclieiks and notables ot the mountain, both Christians and Druses, were assembled on the quay to give him a welcome. To the iclicitati' ns addressed to him, tbe governor replied that the Sultan had entrusted bim with the mission of carefully examining tho wuuts of the people, and particularly ot tbe poorer classes, and that he would eodeavor to carry out his Majesty's generous intentions. GENERAL NEWS. Expioalvo Uliilldi The Prussian Government is said to have agreed in principle to the pioposals ot the It us siao Government relative to the use of explosive missiles in war, and to have proposed an inter national commission to determine the limits within which such missiles may be used both in rifle and artillery lire. Tbe Russian Govern ment is said to have accepted this proposal, and the commission will probably meet in the autumn. The War of 18GO. A ser'cs of official reports upon the war of 18GG are In course of publication by the Prussian stall, and in one of tuem wbich has recently appeared, and the authorship ot which is attri- bu cd to Count Bismark, some disparaging remarks are made about the Italian army. These remai ks nave produced a rather painful impression in Italy, and General Lamarmora, who teeis persona' Iv aggrieved, has given notioe ol a question on the subject in the Italian Par liament, it seems likely, however, that the question will not be put. The leading Italian journals advise the General not to proceed with it. ibe vvrmo thinks that the language of the Prussian report is sadly wanting In courtesy, and it docs not wonder that tbe General who was responsible for tbe defeat at Custoza should feel it acutely. But it cannot see tbat auy ihing is to be gained by discussing tne subiect in Parliament. The proper course to adopt, it thinks, would be lor the Italian staO to follow the example of the Prussian staff, ana issue an oinciai report, in whlcli the state ments complained ot could be refuted. The Xazione tnkea (he same view. On Thursday morning, July 9, the last rem nants of the Paris Exhibition of 1807 were carted away, and in the course of the day the ground was given up to tbe authorities. Not a trace now remains or tbe vast butldtug or its surroundings, which attracted so much atten tion a year ago, and the Champ de Mars has resumed Its old desolate aspect. Vha Palmttiioa atatna.

Commisti by to "Pall Mall Gazttta.1' The Fall Mall Gazette, commenting upon General P. P. Blair's first letter, says in refe rence to its author's allusion to tbe restoration ot tbe finances after tbat of the Constitution: "This is taking up a bold position, but its weak pcint lies in the fact that the people have thus tar over and over again pronounce 1 against it. W nether the the temptation ot saving money bv acting unfairly towards tne national creditors will induce them to chauge their decision remains to be seen, but at present there is no indication of such a conversion. European observers will continue to believe that tney will reject any proposition of wbich dishonesty ia the principal recommendation." freactt Diplomacy. The MonUtur du Soir, in its political bulletin, says: Tbe words lately pronounced by the Minister of Foreign Affairs In the Legislative Body, offer a new pledge of tbe moderate and conciliatory ideas which guide every step of the Imperial diplomacy. The Marquis de Moustier reminded the Chamber tbat ranee has careiuiiy ab stained from raising questions relative to Ger many, and that. fur from pursuing a policy of dis trust or irritation; she bas lett nothing undone to calm down public opinion. Never had she advised the Cabinet of Vienna to assume a hos tile attitude towards Prussia, and never has she dicamt ot diverting Austria rom the labor of Internal regeneration, which claims the warmest and most Sjmpat.hetiu Interest." NOVA SCOTIA. FaallBR Agast tho Coafcdarattota with Caaada spirited Protest Agalait tho Paolaloa of tha British Parllanaaat. Tbe correspondent of tho New York Dribunc, writing from Halifax, N. S., July 20, says: In this part of the New Dominion we are on the eve of stirring times. The agitation tor a repeal ol the union of Mova Scotia ffith Cauada Is growing warmer every day, and, now that the demands of the people of the Province for the restoration of their legislative independence have been positively aud finally relused by the Imperial Government and the British Parlia ment, the utmost anxiety is felt as to the course likely to be pursued by the Provincial Assembly, on the meeting of tbe local Legislature next month. To say that the people are dissatisfied with the present state of thitgs would be to use much too mild a term as descriptive of the popular feeling. They 6eem resolved to take no denial of their demand for a teversnce of tbe connection with Canada, and they do not hesi tate to declare that, ooucr than submit to a compulsory union they will throw ott their allegiance to the Brttibh Crown, and seek annex ation to the Uuited States. On Wednesday last the delegates who had been tent to England by the Nova Scotia Legis lature to plead the csuse of repeal at the bar of ihe Britisn House ot Commons, arrived here by the steamer from Liverpool, aud on landing met with au enthusiastic reception. There came in the tame vessel with them, Dr. Tupper, ono of the leading promoters of confederation, who had gone to England as tbe representative of the very small mluority in tbe colony who desire a continuance of tbe Union. The Nova Scotian are well pleased with the manner In which the delegates have discharged the duty with wbich they were charged, and although they have not brought back tbe auswer which the people expected from Britain, it is felt and admitted by all that the fault is not theirs. It must not be supposed that the cry of annexa tion to tho United States has beeu raised merely for temporary political effect, aud tbat it has no Bcrioui parpose in it. On the contrary, it teema to be the determination of the Nova Sco'lans, failiuir to obtain a repeal of the Act of Union with Canada, to seek forthwith a place In the American republic. Prior to leaving England the delegates addressed a protest to the British Government against the decision that had been arrived at in the case, in wbich they broadly hint that one ot the ; probable consequences of a refusal to grant the petition of the NovaSeotlana lor repeal will be thelos of the province to Eng land. This protest, which bas been published in the newspapers here, is quite a remarkable docu ment, temperately worded, and dignified in its tone, but strong In its Irrefragable logic, and strikingly bold In the assertion of tho rights of tbe people to govern themselves. With refer ence to tbe deilsion of the House ot Commons on the motion made by Mr. Bright on the night ot tbe lGth June last, for a commission to inquire into tbe complaints of tbe Nova cotians, the delegates say in the protest: "As that decision may affect tbe loyalty of a noble province, and be followed by events of historical importance, ibe undersigned, on personal ground, desire to shake themselves clear ol the responsibility whicn tbe House of Parliament, acting under the guidance ol her Majesty's Government, bas assumed." The protest theu alludes significantly to the United States in the following lanHiiacc: "Tbe arsenals and dorks of Boston and Portsmouth are within 30 hours sail of Halifax, and behind these stretches a whole continent, free trnde with which would place factories upon all the streams of Nova Scotia, supply capital lor all legitimate enter prises; aud although political association with 84.000,000 of free men who inhabit thisereat country might for a time involve li'ga taxa tion, it would open a career for herenildrcn, and insure to them adequate protection forever, by land and tea." This being so, is it wise in England to ask tbe protesters to give a new im pulse to the elements ot disturbance already existing on the North American Continent as a menace to the Imperial power? The protet ends thus: "Having discharged our duty to tbe Empire, we go borne to share tbe perils ot our native land, in whose service we cousider it nn honor to labor, whose lortuncs in this darkest hour of her history it would be cow ardico to desert." CRIME. A Via Shot by a Slob aad thorn Iluatr On last Friday night, says the Missouri Val ley liegisttr, near midnight, a party of armed men came up to where Bill Rudd was staudiug, in a street ot Wavcrly, and tired a half dozen shots into his body, killing him instantly, f bey then took his body and passed out of town. In the morning it was louud hangiug to a tree in tbe edge ot ibe woods. His mouth was stuffed full of tow, and the rope by which ho was suspended was passed through his mouth and theu around his neck. Tbe body was taken down and au inquest held. We have not beard tbe officer's statement. We understand tbat no evidence was introduced which tended to the identification of the perpe trators. Since this shooting we have heard several different statements about who is to blame tor the lawless condition of Waverly, and we do not know who to believe. One tbiug we are satisfied of, strangers and radicals have not been s ite there since tbe war, and never will be until the people learn to obey the law. Tbe man Killed had been a Confederate soldier in the regular service irom the first to tho last of tbe war. His friends say that the bush whackers wete his enemies, and that they killed blm. Ilia enemies say that he was a robber and an habitual disturber of the peace. The Wnllanict Valley. From Ihe Overland Monthly. "The Wallamet Valley lies between the Cas cade and Coast Ranges of mountains. It ia about one hundred and twenty miles in length from north to eouta, and on an average about fitly miles wide. It is a third larger thin tbe State ot Connecticut, containing in round num bers, exclusive of the slopes ot the mountains, four millions of acres of land, and such lind as Is seldom found In the same quantity elsewhere on tbe earth's surface. Tatting tne vote ol June, 1806, as a basis, and allowing five souls to the voter, the valley then contained a population ot CG.525, which to-day has increased to 75,000 at least. The average of the old agricultural states is about thirty souls to the square mile, but this estimate includes much barren and unproduc tive land. Besides, the Wallaaiet valley is already a manufacturing district, and its capa city in tbat respect is very great. It abounds tn wool, wood, iron, and water-power. In 18U0 the population in Connecticut equalled ninety eight to tbe square mile. When this Oregon valley reaches tbat point, and it is capable of going beyond it, it will contain 615,384 souls, more than the whole State of Calltoruia to-day. "About one-tblrd of tbe valley is prairie land, the rest of it being more or less heavily wooded with fir, oak, maple, and asu trees. Timber and water are well distributed aud ol a superior quality. The climate is temperate the mean temperature being about sixty degrees. The mean rain tall for tbe year varies somewhat in localities, but titty inches is not tar from the average. The greater portion of this usually falls in the mouths ef November, December, March, and April. Rain seldom or never falls in harvest time from the first of August to tbe middle of September. Tbe sou and climate are especially adapted to the production of small grain, particularly wheat. The apple, pear, plum, chetry, currant, Btrawberry, blackberry, and rutpberry of tbe best quality grow in great abundance. There is no better country for the domestic animals, and the Wallamet wool is already famous, aud will always rank high in the wool markets of tbe world. "The valley is drained by the Wallamet river. This river is now navigable irom Portland for half the length of the valley the year round, and for the whole length during some months in tbe winter. In tbe progress of time the naviga tion will be improved materially, as it has been 1n the last fifteen yeais. Eleven comparatively Important streams tlo v into tho Wallamet during its course through tbe valley.- Soinef these are now partially navigated by steamboats, and may be much more so. Besides, they fur nish supplies of water power for all kinds of mills and machinery. Tbe head of the valley is only about four hundred feet above tbe level of Portland, and railways cau bo constructed on each side of tbe liver at a comparatively small cost. "This is a moderate estimate of the country which lies at tbe buck of Portland. It will be teen at a glance tbat tbe trade aud commerce of such a vulley must in time build up and sustain quite a city. Yet It is not in tbe hieh way of tbe world.no more than Boston or Philadelphia. It will never be the centre of fashion, specula tion, or tbouebt. Do what it will, it will be comparatively a provincial place, aud noted for peculiarities in manners, opinions, and busi ness; but it will be worth more dollars per head than either Loudon or New York, and its good citizens will sleep sounder aud live longer than the San Franciscans. In population it may not, in this century, if ever, exceed fifty thousand, and its strongest sons will often be drawu away to the metropolis of the Pacific, where they are sure to win the prizes In commerce, tho arts, and professions. Yet, for all that, and more, if any young person who reads this is casting about for a place where a lair stock of sense, industry, and good habits will, within certain limits, pay certainly aud well in au honest call ing, let him or her take passage at once for PortlandoiiWanamet When Frank Blair proposes to resist the accession of a Republican candidate to the Presidency, by violent means, he probably forgets that a majority ot his supporters are nnder parole not to bear arms against General Grant. To which the Memphis Bulletin responds: "A party which is so nearly played out that it can nnblushingly boast of recruiting such blatant drunkards aa Blair, ought to feel the force of that thrust."
