THE IRISH CHURCH MIX.
IHernrll on

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

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.

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.
