FAHSAOE OF THE IIUSII CHURCH DILL. Tub Irish Church bill pHed the IIoiiho of Lords yesterday nfter an exciting debate, but altered and amended to Buch a dogrce tint the Commons will scarcely be able to recog nize it when it returns to them. It is un doubtedly the fact that a majority of the Lord were opposed to the bill in any Hiiaric; and Earl Derby yesterday said that he ob jected to it in toto on principle, but in viowr of the popular feeling that had been aroused, lie did not think it expedient to carry his op position further than to Tote against it. After the 111 panned, however, he entered a written protest, which will, of course, be received by the friends of the measure for what it is worth. The English are particularly fond of tmeering at the disorder and rowdyism that are Biipposed to be the common characteristics of the American Congress, and particularly of the House of Representatives. The correspondents who have described the scenes in the House of Lord during the de bate on this bill have given us some grains of comfort in this respect. "We certainly have frequent cause to be ashamed of our repre sentatives, but it is no little satisfaction to know that the British House of Lords, which claims to be the highest, most dignified, moat polished and courtly deliberative body in the world, is not only no better, butra little bit worse, nooting, yelling, groaning, hiss ing, cheering, and similar performances ap pear to have characterized the progress of tha debate; and we are told that one church dig nitary distinguished himself by engaging in such manifestations even while sitting upon the steps of that object of all reverence, the throne itself. The House of Representatives can hold up its head after this, and claim that it has its peer in domagogism and black guardism. As for the Irish Church bill, it is certain that the Lords will yet be obliged to pass it substantially as it first came from the Com mons. In a long speech at the Lord Mayor's banquet on the 30th ultimo, Mr. Gladstone explained the position of his Government in diplomatic and courteous but sufficiently plain and decided language. He believed that the bill as it was originally presented represented the wishes of the country, and accomplished the desired object in a fair and equitable manner. Being confident of the support of the nation at large, he would resist any tampering with the material fea tures of the bill, but would cheerfully con sider all amendments, and without opposi tion consent to such as appeared just ard right. If the Ministry take this stand, they will certainly accomplish theii; object, and the House of Lords will be obliged to go through the agony of considering the bill a second time, and receding as gracefully as they can from their present awkward position. OIRARD COLLEGE. The report of the Board of Directors of the Chard College for Orphans, for the year 18(M, w ith the accompanying report submitted to the Board of Directors by the President, Pro fessor Allen, furnish interesting information in regard to the position, wants, and workings of that institution. Whether it remains under its present control, or is subjected to the supervision of the proposed Board of City Trusts, the public is equally interested in its effective management, and equally ready to sustain all wise efforts to further tho benevo lent objects of the founder of this noble charity. la spite of the immense sum spent in the construction of the college edifices, and the various causes which have diminished tho productiveness of the estate, much substan tial good has already been accomplished, and five hundred and twenty destitute orphans are housed, fed, clothed, and educated out of the proceeds of the college fund. The cur rent expense for this service last year was a few hundred dollars less than the annual appropriation of $13.5,850, or about $270 per annum for each orphan, more than one-half of this amount being embraced in tho two items of clothing and subsistence. This coat is perhaps not more than it should be during the prevalence of the existing high prices; but, as prices fall, means should certainly be devised, partly through the diminished cost of maintenance, and partly through the increased productiveness . . - . ! VI of the estate, tor enaonng a inucn larger num ber of orphans to enjoy the benefits of Girard's bequest. In the proposed reforms this primary object Bhould never be ignored At this moment there are many thousands of children in Philadelphia who never attend School, and a large proportion of thorn are vagrant orphans. . While the college receive i but eighty new wards annually, as at present, there must continue to be a fearful dispropor tion between the number of destitute young orphans in Philadelphia and the re Amenta of Girards bounty. It is a sheer impossibility to provide for all the claimants to assistance, but it is by no means impossible to administer the estate aud the college in a manner than win ao mnuueiy more than lias evor been done heretofore to diminish the number of stray waifs upon our Streets. This end is more important thin im proved systems of instruction, or tine buiKl ings, or grand displays. One of the great problems oi tne uay is, hmi is id us uuuo for and with the immense army of gvn'n who are growing up in ignoranoe and idle ness, in the niidat of a thousand temptations ? and while the Girard bequest cannot fully solve this problom for Philadelphia, it can, tinder proper management, be made to do much, incidentally, to assist its solution. One of the difficulties at the college now Is to find persons willing to accept the orphtns as indentured apprentices, and this difficulty is increased by a law which forbids the direc tors from accepting applications which are made by persons residing in other States. New Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware have been comparatively slow in following the ex ample of Pennsylvania in abrogating the old apprenticeship system, and there are frequent applications from those States for indenture 1 apprentices, while the number from Pennsyl vania is very Rinall. We agree with the direc tors that the "prohibition seems to be unne cessary and unwise," and it should be re pealed by the Legislature. The question has become an important one, aud the directors Bhould bo relieved from the dilemma in which they are plaoedby the conflict of the directions of the will with the prevailing customs of the Commonwealth. In regard to the system of instruction, Pro fessor Allen makes many important sugges tions, which he thus summarizes: "Tho chances, therefore, which I have to nronose are briefly hh follows: "i,CRg renting ana more teaming. "Less dependence on text-books anil more on Intellect. "The Introduction of pictorial and irranhlcal Illus trations whenever they can be used. " "Object teaching' bo lar as Bpeciinens from nature and art can be obtained. "The addition of a department of natural history to our course of Instruction. "Such alterations In the order In which tho branches of study succeed each other lu tho course. as will conform more closely to the age aud capacity vi iiic pupns. He discusses the whole subject in a mas terly manner; and it is unfortunate that, while Girard has done so much for the mass of the orphans, means should not be devised for giving the specially bright intellects developed among them an opportunity to acquire a com plete and finished education. We sympathize, too, with the regret of Professor Allen that the sciences "have been ignored in Girard College for twenty years," and that it has "no collection of the flora of our own State, no museum of zoologioal specimens, nor a cabinet of minerals worthy of the name." It is desirable that this deficiency should be sup plied by private donation, if the funds of the estate cannot be properly applied to this pur pose, and that the education of tho orphans should be rendered as complete and useful as possible. But meanwhile tho necessity of providing for the accommodation of more orphans should never be for an instant for gotten, and it should be a leading considera tion in all matters connected with the college. Let "the greatest good of the greatest num ber" be kept steadily in view. THE MERCANTILE LIBRARY. The new Mercantile Library building will be opened to-morrow, and Philadelphia will then have what has long been needed, a first-class popular library. The old Franklin Market building has been altered into a magnificent library and reading-room that presents a com bination of advantages not possessed by any other institution of the kind in the country, if in the world. Tho fact of its being open in the evening, and having a pleasant and cheerful room in which to sit and read, together with a full supply of all the foreign and domestic periodicals, will always make the Mercantile more popular as a place of resort than the Philadelphia, in spite of the very superior collection of books possessed by the latter. It would be a very desirable thing if we could have in this city a great free library like that of Boston; but until we can have that, we may well be satisfied with the elegant accom modations of the Mercantile as the next best thing. In the new building there are ample accommodations, which will be appreciated by those who have been annoyed by the over crowded condition of the old quarters; and as it is understood that the managers propose to enlarge their field of operations, and make important additions to their collection, this institution will undoubtedly enter upon a new career of prosperity, and be more cor dially than ever supported by tho citizens of Philadelphia. BLAIR. Mb. Fiiank P. Blaib, Jr., would not take our advice and offer himself as a candidate for tho throne of Spain, and the consequence is that he has been making a fool of himself again over his cups, and then stultifying him self still further by writing a letter about it. At the reunion of the Society of the Army and Navy of the Gulf, at Long Branch, re cently, he indulged in a general glorification of Lee, Stonewall Jackson and other Rebels, so that Admiral Farragut, who presided, had to call him to order. In reply to the strictures made upon his conduct, Blair wrote an ex planatory letter to the New York World, in which he asserted that this society and others like it were "being used as radical Btalking horses," and indulged in ungentlemanly allusions to General Benjamin F. Butler and others who did not harmonize with the school of politics to which Blair had affiliated himself. In reply to this effusion of the late candidate of the Democracy for the Vice-Presidency, the Secretary of the society, Mr. Granville P. Hawes, has written a letter which adminis ters an effectual quietus. He calls atten tion to the fact that by the rules of the asso ciation the discussion of politics is prohibited, and that no man connected with it ever has held an office, or ever expects to hold one, and that it was under these rules that Blair was called to order. Mr. Hawes thinks that Blair made a sad mistake in not allowing tho most charitable view to be taken of his conduct, and he appeals to him to recall his classical learning, and remember that Thilip, King of Macedon, who in his most desperate condition was sagacious enough to be aware of his two-fold character, had allowed an appeal from one to the other. Mr. Hawes, on behalf of the so ciety, wishes it to be definitely understood that it can never be made use of by any poli tician, whatever lis character or antecedents. The fact is, Blair was drunk on this oocasion, very drunk; and the description by the re porters present of his manner while making his speech would be amusing, were it not disgusting and pitiful to see a man who once held a high position in the Union army, and who once made Buch vehement protections of loyalty, demean himself by such an exhi bition. Tub Northkrh Pacific We chronicle in our columns this morning tht arrival in this city of the Northern Pacific Knilroad exploring expedition, and the nanus of the gentle ne i computing It, togethor with au outline of IU plan and purposes. The people of this rejrlon will see, In tha exploration about to le made, wh it may be regarded without much stretch of the Imagination as the practical commencement of the Northi-rn Pacific road. The parties who have the cntsrprWo In hand simply desire to confirm the favorable impression which already exists relative to the advantages of tho Northern line and the character of the country through which It passes, previous to actually break ing ground; and those who Knw anything of the route they are to pursue can -lot doubt what the verdict will be. That It will be favorable, we Mln nesotians, who have so long and earnestly studied this enterprise, and assured ourselves of the tangible Inducements It oilers, feel morally certain ; and If It is, we arc assured by the prominent member of the expedition, work will be Immediately bugun and tlie road pushed through to completion as rapidly as possible. Bliico money will not be wanting, and since the face of the country is more favorable to rapid construction than along the line of tlie already completed Paclllc road, we may perhaps see eclipsed even tm-wonderful achievements or tho Union and Central Companies. We have so often written up the Importance to this section of the Northern Pa :lllc road, that our readers can readily appreciate the grout benefits that must flow lo us from Its construc tion. The mere announcement of Its certain under taking will arouse all the activities or our people, mid determine to this region emigration and capital beyond everything heretofore witnessed. We shall watch the progrcHS of this expedition with intense Interest. From the St. Paul (MinnenoM Pioneer. THE FRENCH (MULE. Arrival of Ihe Jrent liantern at Mr. Pierre. The following despatch was lorwardod last night from St. Pierre Miquelon, an island oil' the southern coast of Newfoundland : The Oreat Kastern arrived on" this Island to-dav, and Is now splicing the cable. The shore end here was laid down several days ago by another steamer or the expedition the William Corry. This part of the cable was thirty miles long. After being laid it was buoyed, ana the Corry Btood off, keeping near, so as to be ready to pick up the buoy whin the Great KaHtcrn should come In night Thus the Great BuBtern had only to find tho Corry and spltoe the two cables to complete tho communication between Brest and St, Pierre. The clay was unusually clear anl bright, and this facilitated the labor. Klcctrlcal signals have not yet been exchanged with ISrest by the oftlce here, because the land eud Is sealed and the Instruments are all on board an other vessel of the expedition yet to arrive. The Great Eastern will return to Europe Imme diately. The line hence to the United Slnte i will be flnished by the Chlltern. It is a holiday here, but no great eithti3ia3m is manifested. The Deep Sea Cubic Cut. ST. PlKRRK MlQ.l KI.ON, July 136-30 P. M At half-past three o'clock P. M. to-day the Great East ern cut and buoyed the llrest cable, ut about twenty miles from shore, and at a point about live miles lrom the buoy on the shore end. The splice, there fore, is not made. The cause of tho deluv is not known, as no communication lias baeu held with tho shore. All the vessels of the cabla fleet, the Standard, William Corry, Chlltern and Gulnare, wore iu com munication with the Great Eastern by signal at tho time the cable was cut. Instruments for the French Cable. From the Uoston Post, July 13. By courtesy of Moses (J. Fermer, the well-known electrician or this city, there was an exhibition yesterday afternoon of tho Instruments to be used on the new French cable now in process of being laid. The Instruments are substantially the same as tlioso In use on the present cable, the signals being trans mitted through the medium or a ray or light thrown by a delicately suspended mirror upon a suitable surface. The helices consist or about 20,000 coils or insulated wire, are nearly tluee inches in length and two In diameter, and the Interior or the rings live eighths or an inch. A polarized needle, to which is attac hed a thin reflector, is suspended in the centre or the coil, aud la deflected from right to left, ac cording as the current passes from the positive or the negative pole of the battery. Directly in front of, and covered so as to allow but a small ray or light to be rocussed by a lens upon the mirror, is a lamp, and at the right of the lamp, six feet or more, as the case may be, is a centred surface upon which the ray falls. The Morse alphabet, with some slight alterations, will be used, the dots aud dashes being indicated by the position of the ray with re gard to the centred surface. The resistance or the helix is about that of 600 miles or the cable proper. The lustruments are very simple, and the cost a rifle, not exceeding tioo a set. Tlie New Cable and It Termini. The cable, which has Just reached Its destination, will be a thousand miles longer than the English cable, or about eight thousand miles altogether. Its moneyed projectors are Messrs. Erlanger and Keuter, tho notorious enemies of the North during the lattt war, who are backed by a large array of stockhold ers. The longest section of the cable Is that from Brest to SU Pierre, 23!i5 miles; the shortest one, from St. Pierre to the coaBt of Massachusetts, will be Vat miles long. The sections of the cable between Brest, bt. Pierre, and Boston are six in number, and It needs six spllcings between these points. Tliis island, hitherto an luslgnlilcant point, has become conspicuous by the success of the cable. South of Newfoundland are three small islands owned by France in the Interest of the abundant fisheries in their neighborhood. These Islands are St. l'ierre and the two Miquelons, and they contain altogether about one hundred square miles aud a lew thousand inhabitants, who export annually about eight million francs' worth, importing whale and codfish oil and codUsh principally to the extent or a little less than eight million, or francs. The islands are the sole remains of French possession la Northern America, and date their ownership from an early period or colonization. When Newfound land was surrendered to the Government or Queen Anne they were nevertheless retained by France. House's Hummock, at the town of Duxbury in Massachusetts, aud near the Garnet Light or Ply mouth Harbor, will be the American end or the cable. The Massachusetts Legislature have char tered a company to carry a Hue out beyond tho Jurisdiction of the United Status, and splice it with tlie French cable, in order to avoid any dltll rulty growing out or . tho Constitution or tha United States with rererence to this subject. Duxbury, where the cable will have an ottlce, was once a ship-building port or promise, but, like Plymouth and Salem, has passed Into decay commercially. The late United States Consul-Geueral at Tripoli, Mr. J. M. Ualnes, will have charge or the otlioe, assist Jd by twelve opera tors. According to the terms or the original Impe rial grant, the price of a despatch Is not to exceed I'iO for twenty words. Tho Insulation of the caile Is believed to be perfect, and its central wire is larirer than that of the English line. SPECIAL NOTIOES.

Gents: A persistent but unsuccessful effort was made on tho night of May 29, 1869, to drill tho Banker's chest received from you a few month ago. From facta thut have come to our knowledge, it la evident that the attempt to open it was renewed on Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to dim It useless, the e.Tort was then made to break the lock. The hammering was heard by parties In the neighborhood lor several hours, but supposing H to arise from the railroad men replacing a defective rail, excited no alarm. The tools, with the exception of the drills, were left. It is evident that they were not only prepared,, but perfectly familiar with the construction of your Chest. That they failed la another evidence that your Banker's Chest are what you claim lor them. Bur-glar-ProoK Respectfully yours, - 18 4p J- BALSBACK, Agent.
