THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PIIILADEL PHI A, FRIDAY, AUGUST G, 18C9. THE IRISH CHURCH MIX. IHernrll on the CnmprninlMi Unworn l,md mill CuiiitiioiiM. Ihc In tho House of Commons, on tho evening if July Ui, after Mr. Gladstone )m;l moved that the House do now agree to tho amend ments of tho Irish Church bill ns made by tho Lords, Mr. Pisrneli, who was received with cheers, raid: I think it is quite, unnecessary and cer tainly inconvenient, tluit, on nu occasion like the present, we .should enter into any diseus nion of tho principle of this bill. (Hear, hour.) My opinion on the subject remain the name, but it does not Appear to mo that thiH is an occasion that requires im expres sion of opinion from any honorable member on that important point. If there was a differ ence between the two houses ns to tho prin ciple of the measure, I could easily under stand, though the consequences might be of a very grave character, that a delay in the settlement or fur ther consideration of this question might have been advisable, and not. only ex pedient, but, upon tho whole, most wise and politic. Hut, when tho difference between the two houses has resolved itself into what we must nil acknowledge to bo mero matters of detail, I must say that I have always felt that delay in the settlement of this question, while bringing with it very doubtful advan tages, might lead to difficulty and disaster to no inconsidoiablo extent. We must, therefore, remember that we are called on to consider to-day, when differences between tho two branches of the Ijegisl.it tire have taken place on this question of tho Irish Church, whether it is possible to come to an agreement with respect to details, and not in the least with respeot to any principle involved in tho bill. Hoth the House of Lords and the House of Commons have accepted that principle. Now, I henr some talk of unconditional Mirrender, instead of amieable compro mise in this instance; but I cannot help thinking that those who use expressions of that kind must really associate the accept ance of these amendments with the accept ance of tho principle of the bill. I cm easily understand that if an honorable member is of opinion that by dissenting in some very small points of detail the defeat of the mea sure might be secured, he should wish that course to be taken: but it can be owing only to a confusion of ideas of that character that the phrase ''unconditional surrender" can bo applied to the settlement which is proposed for our consideration to-dny. Let us see whether Ibis is a just view of tho case. The points of difference between the two houses were really reduced in number to four. Cou niderable inodiiieat ions have been agreed toby the Government in thivo of these modifica tions, indeed, in a very important proposal, tvhich amount, I may say. utmost to a total exchange of its character. If that bo the case; if, when there are only four points f difference between the houses, points of detail, her Majesty's Government have con tented to a scheme which in three of these points introduces very considerable modifica tions I cannot understand how any honora ble gentleman can be satisfied in describing an arrangement of that kind as one of uncon ditional surrender. (Hear, hear.) It appears tome, on tho whole, to bo a wist- and con ciliatory settlement of tho points of disagree ment (hear, hear) and although I do not wish to introduce my own opinion upon the subject for it is not necessary if I had really to decide which party had tho best of the arrangement, I should think it, for the purposes of debate, more prudent to hold my tongue. (Cheers and laughter.) Very likely the same feeling may influence gentlemen on either Hide, and if, therefore, there is a reci procal feeling of that nature respecting the settlement, I think we may arrive at this conclusion that is a fair and just If tho differences houses involved, as I the compromise one. (Hear, hear.) between tho two ventured to observe before, the principle of tho measure, I could vuiderstand honorable gentlemen expressing, in terms of becoming indignation, their opinion of what they considered an uncondi tional surrender. Uut, even from their own view, it could only be an unconditional sur render of points of detail, not of policy: and when you come to examine into the terms of arrangement, you find at least, to use the mildest phrase, that as many of those points I of controversy are conceded to us as have ' been conceded to us by tho Government. If J any arrangement was to take place upon this matter, I cannot understand how it could have been brought about in any other way. I know there are some who very much regrot that the point aa to tho glebe-houses has not been in sisted on. (Hear.) Hut allow me to say that . that has been considered by some of tho best judges at all times a very questionable demand, and that, if conceded, it might in volve conditions as regards the future right of the State to interfere with tho general pro perty of the disendowed Church, which might be very inconvenient and perhaps very dan gerous hereafter. (Hear, hear.) There is Jio doubt whatever that the strong feeling that exists upon the subject of globo-housos, and the necessity of that concession being made to the disendowed Church of Ireland, arose from the expressions of the right honorable gentleman and some of his col leagues upon that subject during their can vass. They have frankly admitted that those views were held by them and those expressions used, and I have no wish whatever to enlarge upon tho subject further than to repeat what on another occasion I did mention, merely bo cause it is a political truth which ought not to le forgotten that I trust this will be the last occasion on which political questions will be dealt with on abstract principles. If the right honorable gentleman had not laid down so broadly and abstractedly the principles on which ho would settle this business, ho would have been able to settle it more easily and in a manner which would have conciliated the feeling of powerful classes now much I won't say outraged, but certainly much pained and offended, and we might have brought about this settlement in a way that would have been infinitely more satisfactory and more advantageous to tho country. It must he remembered that there is not a single principle on which this legislation was to take place from which in pruetiee tho right honora ble gentleman has not been obliged to deviate. It is not merely that in certain cases, con trary to his principles, ho has been obliged to do something for the disendowed Church. Take, for example, the case of vested interests. Every vested interest and every personal position was to be respected in this settle ment. Hut what was the first thing you did ? You were obliged to attack Borne of the most important vested interests, and to deprive individuals of some of their most important ofticeB, Biich, for instance, as the ecclesiasti cal baronies. I do not soy you were not justified in doing it. I do not say it would have been a wise thing to leave the bishops of the disestablished Church in tho House of Lords, but their expulsion from that House respecting nil vrtrd interests and personal riehts. It shows' you, therefore, that you could not adhere strictly to your abstract pro positions, and that being so, I wish the right honorable gentleman had deviated from them a little more, and had been a lUtle more libe ral to tho clergy and laity of the disestablished Church of Ireland. Ho would havo made it more satisfactory scttlemcntif he had not been hampered by the enunciation of abstract principles by which practically he has not been able to abide. I only wish to impress upon tho House that we really were on the eve of circum stances in om poht leal life which we should nil wish to avoid- namely, collision and mis understanding beiween the two branches of the Legislatuie. aii'ltliat at a moment when both houses had so comported themselves that they verily deserved and possessed tho respect and confluence of tho country. (Hear, hear.) We have assembled here to-day to sanction and ratify upon matters of detail tho settlement proposed by the government, which will terminate these differences not by sacrificing any principle, not by giving up any great doctrines in politics which we have sup ported under tliin-nlt . circumstances in tho face of the majority that has asserted them, but by assisting in a conciliatory and, I hope, satisfactory adjustment of points of detail which on the whole have, I think, been arranged with due consideration to the claims of both parties, i Hear. hear. ) Let us view what we are doing in that light. Do not let us consider what wo aro sanctioning this morning under tho per verted and erroneous supposition that we are settling and deciding great principles of policy, and particularly the principles upon which this measure is founded. That is fin ished. The Hou.se of Commons has agreed to disestablish and disembody the Church of Ireland. I regret it. The House of Lords has ngreed to it. and by no meau majority, and the affair is at an end. Uut when honora ble gentlemen regard what, nfter all, should be looked upon by both sides of tho Houso, under tho circumstances, as a wise and states manlike and satisfactory settlement of a most difficult question, from an erroneous and perverted point of view namely, that 'we aro now settling the principles of the measure, whereas we are only arranging in an amicable and conciliatory manner for all parties certain details of the measure they may believe with my honorable friend that there has been an unconditional surrender of principle, although there has only been. I repeat, a satis factory and statesmanlike settlement of detail. (Henr, hear.) VOfXAMC. A New Theory ot l.uriliiiiiikcn nml Yolrnnori An original and highly ingenious theory of earthquakes and volcanoes is propounded at great length in JJlm-L iruod for July. Tho sub stance of it may be thus briefly stated: The author assumes, on tho strength of numerous ascertained facts, tlu.t the earth has a zone. or. more accurately speaking, a shell of electric action, extending all around the globe, to a depth of several miles. (The sun is tho great source from which the electricity of tho earth is derived, and the weakness or intensity of the latter depends on the solar action, but the laws which govern the variations are not yet under stood.) This zone corresponds to an electric zone of six or eight miles thickness in the at mosphere, and the interplay of the two causes some of the most brilliant lightning effects of thunder storms, in tho severest of which the Hashes are ehielly sent upwards from tho earth itself. Hut as the atmosphere has its own electrical agitations, in the form of distant thunder clouds, which, becoming overcharged with electricity, n gain their equilibrium by lightning Hushes or sharp electrical dis charges; so has the earth its own electrical phenomena, the effects of which nre mainly confined to its own bosom. Earthquakes, tho author claims, are results of the grander elec trical disturbances which from time to time take place in the zone of rocks immediately subjacent to the earth's surface. They are 'thunderstorms in the earth." Inordinary circumstances the electric currents which re gularly circulate in the earth's crust, ebb and How as quietly and noiselessly as similar cur rents usually do in the atmosphere. Hut, occasionally, when electric action to an un usual extent is developed in tho crust, tho steady flow of the currents is broken, and vio lent disturbances necessarily follow. The conductive power of tho rocks becomes inadequate to pass the currents with sullicieut rapidity to maintain the electric equilibrium, and tho electricity accumulates at points where tho resistuuee is greatest, until it ac quires the power requisite to overcome the obstacle and then forces a passage explosively, or by a grand discharge more terrible, some times, than a volley trom tho concentrated artillery of the world. A vist heat is gene rated at the same time (electricity being the greatest heat-developer in nature), tho rocks are in some cases actually fused, subterranean hikes and rivers are instantly converted into steam, and tho result is a rupture of the sub jacent rocky strata, tho effects of which reach the surface, producing the various phenomena of the earthquake, including those of volca noes, such as the outburst of molten lava, hot water, and clouds of steam. The known active volcanoes are only vents which the subterranean electric action has mado for itself in regions or localities where tho action is strongest and most permanent. The author dispenses with tho theory of a molten interior of the enrth, adopted by Sir Humphrey Davy and other distinguished ob servers and philosophers to explain tho same phenomena. (This i commonly known as tho chemical theory. It supposes that potassium, sodium, magnesium, and tho metallic liases of all tho earths and alkalies exist below the crust in an isolated condition; ready to combine, with violent chemical action, with tho oxygen of water or tho atmosphere that might pene trate the fissures. The reaction of those ele ments would bo attended with intense heat and the formation of highly explosive gases. Combinations of immense masses of sulphur with various gases would pro duce similar effects. On a suffici ently largo scale these reactions would shake and upheave tho earth and eject vast quantities of what is called lava from existing volcanoes, or miiko now volcanoes. There may possibly be tidal movements in the molten interior, caused by tho attraction of tho sun and moon, like those of the ocean, and by those movements stupendous chemical reac tions may be produced. Changes of tempera ture on the outside of the earth may also be followed by disturbances in the inside. The crust supposed to cover this molten sou is estimated to be thinner in some places than in others its maximum thickness not being over JO miles and it is conjectured that at those parts of the e;a-th most visited by earth quakes andvoleanocsthe crust is tho thinnest.) He attributed to his shallow electric zone the subterranean heat observed in mines und in the witters of artesian wells phenomena usually explained ou tho hypothesis of a cen tral lire, tho heating effects of which aro sup posed to extend to within a short distaaco of ! Iho Burfvce, of tlio earth. 'Xho electric cur rent ceaselessly passing to and fro would necessarily develop heat, and in the metallife rous strata, where mines are sunk, more than in others. If this heat were caused by a cen tral tire it would steadily increnso with the depth, but the author asserts that in one very deep mine in Cornwall a point has been renched in which tho temperature not only ceases to incrense, but begins to decline. Tho theory of an electric earth zone is the only one, according to him, which explains the spiral nnd rotatory movement noticed in many earthquakes. Curvilinear and spiral motions nre well-known characteristics of the electric force ns seen in dustwhirls, waterspouts, the sand-pillars of tho desert, nnd the terrible cyclones of the tropics all of which nre duo to tho perturbed electrical action in tho at mosphere. Tho author pushes his theory to explain the phenomena of what is commonly enlled "igneous action" in tho formation of the enrth. Ho thinks that tho metallic veins in tho rocky crust of the earth owe their origin to a long continued operation of magnetic cur rents; metals and gems too being, in his opinion, sublimations of tho matter of rocks, whose atoms have been reorganized and their molecular structure altered into a higher form by clectricnl ngency. The crystalline struc ture of theold rocks, usually attributed to tho action of lire, he explains by the intervention of his electric currents continually playing through the crust of the earth. He does not so much attempt to refute the theory of a molten interior, as to show that his hypothe sis of electric action satisfies all tho condi tions of the problem better than that theory. He makes this point, however: That if, as the central-fire philosophers assert, only two miles beneath our feet have a temperature less than that of boiling water, and the heat steadily increases downward until at a depth of twenty miles every known substance would be in a fused state, then tho slightest lurch or formation of tides in the central ocean of molten matter would burst the thiu crust upon which we live as easily as if it were a skin of paper. Such is a bare outline of this novel theory. It is ingenious nnd simple, nnd affords an other illustration of the prevalent tendency to explain most of the phenomena of nature and life by tho convenient hypothesis of elec tricity. It w ill probably provoke a storm of opposition from men of the igneous school, and its discussion will form an interesting chapter in the scientific history of the year. Tlie Sin of Sliul'XM'ui-c. It is greatly to be regretted that a writer in the I-'aUiiIih lirritf, for July, should havo seen fit to revive tho business of setting the public to puzzling over the real meaning of certi in doubtful or misprinted words in Shakespeare. We had supposed that this business was pretty much over some years ago, nnd to bring it up again at a time when tho English journals aro hard up for topics, and when the mammoth gooseberry is already going the rounds, is cruel. We foresee that all the commentators, mi-commentators nnd would-be commentators on both sides of tho Atlantic will be prompted to persecute as well ns puzzle the public with new readings and romnnciugs from and concerning Shake speare. Already the London JVT irx and one of tho morning papers in New York present a few of tho Krfiubv rtjlt ll rit ir writer's conundrums, but decline to attempt a solution. Hero aro one or two of the freshly-presented puzzles: "What does Ophelia mean wheii she says to the Queen, 'You may wear your rue with a difference Y What was the precise signifi cance of the cri'itls laid upon Ophelia's bier? What is the exact meaning of the phrase used by Trniiio, to 'balk logic !l Now, unquestionably, Shakespeare's chief sin wns thnt he wrote a villainously bad hand; and of this ho was quite as conscious as his printers were. And no doubt he was ex ceedingly sensitive about it: else why did ho take particular pains to destroy every scrap of his own handwriting, excepting the three ex tant autographs'? which, by-the-by, are suf ficiently indicative of what the rest of his copy must have been. Then, too, tho printers of the period: what reckless as well as ignorant fellows they were ! The folio of HIl';! there is a copy in tho Astor Library, which can be seen, under certain restrictions, whenever the excellent institution is open to the public is tilled with what are palpably mero typographical errors, and the folio of is one mass of blunders. Of course, tho earliest Shakespearian commentators corrected the errors in the first folio by the blunders in the second; and a nice mess indeed t hey mado of it. Tho trouble, too, with commentators in all periods is, that they forget that "A man's best things are nearest liim, Lie close about Ills feet ;' nnd so, instead of accepting what is or may be made to seem perfectly plain and obvious, they soar after the indefinite and dive after the unfathomable, in labored search for something which is sure to make tho possibly plain utterly incomprehensible. Many years ago a men ceieornteu clergyman l.n Connecti cut printed a pamphlet to explain tho mean ing of a Hebrew "point," and came very near creating a dissension, if not a division, in his denomination only, fortunately, a careful examination of the clergyman's' copy of tho Hebrew Eible showed that the doubtful and distracting "point" was, after all, only a tiy speck. In like manner, if Shakespearian com mentators would only allow for Shakespeare's copy his head and heart were all right, but his "hand," without doubt, was horrible and assume th-it compositors in y.l and :V were quite as careless ns they aro in 1m;.i, what a world of worry nnd conundrum-making would bo saved. Thus n littlo knowledge of German would tell anybody that tho "cranls" laid on "Ophelia's" bier was a wreath Ger man "Kranz;" and Tranio must have known, if modern commentators do not, tint it is not difficult to "balk" some people's logic. Some time ni'O. when the evil tlmt. now j threatens us once more was epidemic, and the magazines and newspapers were punish ing tho public, for tho sins of Shal cespeare and his printers, all England was puzzled over the precise meaning of Shakespeare's "cup of sheer nle." Tho nearest English approach to a satisfactory explanation was that it was particularly strong nlo. tho old October or "genuine stunning" of the time, which wns given to the wet nnd over-worked men in sheep-shearing nine. Hut thereupon turned up a Yankee who showed pluiuly enough thnt "sheer alo" in Shakespoaro's day meant simple nle nnd nothing else, just as "sheer nonsense" means simple nonsense. The word, like many others now obsolete in old England, has been preserved in its original use and moaning in New Eng land, just ns tho provincial pronunciation of the New England States is a handod-down importation from England more than two hundred years ago, and is not indigenous to Down East soil, as many poopla suppose. The pronunciation of such words as down, round, blue, and tho like, in this manner, "da-own," "ra-ound," "ble-ue," is quite com mon in some parts of England, nnd in this connection we have only to remind those wiio saw mid. beard, tlio burlesque- blonde At Niblo's Theatre that several of them used this precise Da-own-East vercnacnlar and pro nunciation, thus betrnying to practised ears their pnlpnbly provincial origin. It is quite true tht.t tho pnpors horo, ns well as abroad, are short jnst now of interesting subjects; but a total eclipse of the sun is pro mised to-morrow; Cuban independence, or annexation, is possible; and, in England, the mammoth gooseberry is inexhaustible. For these reasons it would seem ns if Shake speare, or nt least Shnkespearians, might be let nlone. Scripturally, we believe the sins of tho fathers were not. to be visited upon the children beyond the third or fourth genera tion, and the sins of Shakespeare, his com positors. nnd his cnrliest commentators, should bo no exception to this merciful provision.
