It is stated that the engineers oi r ranee nd of England have just now pronounced dell tiitely against the scheme. They all aurec, in deed, that the tunnel is quite feasible; but then ilvey add that the cost of it would he t!10,(XKMH)0, hich puts it iiitc out of the question, unless the Governments of France and England should, Jn the interest of International amity, think U right to proceed with the works regardless o'' expense. To pay, such a tunnel would require twenty thousand passengers a day at live shil lings apiece. Nobody looks forward to such a jlarge trallic between the two countries. Comments on tlic I'ltusnKo of the Irish Church , Jf ill. jFrorn the London Morning Star. The Irish Church bili awaits the royal assent. Its reception In the House of Commons, us finally amended in pursuance of the Calrns-Uranville compromise, was cordial and all but unanimous. Indeed, when wc come to look at the concession 'more closely, the Lords have had less of their own way than at first apiireared. They de manded on Lord Carnarvon s clause about X'810, 000, on the curates' clause .450.000 more, and on the glebe houses X 150.0(10. Thus their total 'Claim was Al, 410,000. The added five per cent. 1n the annuities will onlv give them 250, HOO, which, for people who have asked for some- thing like six times that sum, is not so very 'xnueh after all. And this, let us add, depends upon three-fourths of each diocese agreeing to 'commute. Now, the opinion of very weli-in-Aormed people is that this proportion will not l'ommute; and if this opinion be sound, then the concession really is a concession of nothing a to. most consolatory conclusion. The liberals in 1 lie House of Commons had worked this out to :heir own satisfaction, so that all went well. There were the usual stories of dissension in the Jabinet whispered in the lobbies; but anybody vno knew anytning about tne matter was aware hat everything that was done had been iinani- ousiy approved. t'rom the London Saturday Review. The Irish Church bill has really passed. , After much fierce discussion, after so many perils, has now practically become law, and this great lueeess is not alloyed cithe-r by an access of re ligious bitterness, or by the imminence of a con stitutional conlliet, or by a good bill being made i"bad bill. A compromise has been effected, but it is not a compromise wliieh in any way goes to the principles of the bill. England has made a great sacrifice to Ireland, and has made it in the imlv way in which a sacrifice can do good, by making it boldly, generously, and without hesi tation The Government has successfully im- Jwsed on the House of Lords the views of the louse of Commons as to the glebe houses, the JLJlster glebes and the ecclesiastical tax, aud has 1 indicated the principle of religious equality this was essential, for otherwise the bill would liave been spoiled. But the general result is In very way satisfactory. Disestablishment Is omplete, and disendowment is complete, ex cepting that where there was a point, not oC caninir has been, as it ought to have been, in .ijvor of the disendowed Church.

The moneys found in the possession of Plotitzine arc to be transferred, according to the law in such cases, to his hcirs-at-law. As for the missing moneys, no search or investiga tion is to be instituted about them. Thus what formed the chief and. indeed, the only motive of the accusation is left quite out of view by the court's ultimate decision, and the poor people severely punished for a fact of which many thousands are known to be guilty, nor ever have a public accusation directed against them. In Petersburg alone hundreds of Skoptzy openly walk the streets and freely attend to their trades or professions, without dreaming of conceal ment, and it is notorious that the money changers are Castrates, almost every mother's son of them. On the whole, it cannot be said that this Irial has left any very favorable impres sion on the public mind. ;rent Fire in Pari. In Paris at midnight on Friday, July '.!. the depot of the ('nitipnrjnii' tin 1'iiilm Voitiirrs, in the Hue Stanislas, took lire, and the dried wood, varnish, spirits of wine, oil, and tow, used so extensively on the premises, fed the llames, which spread with fearful rapidity to le water's factory, as well as to the neighboring houses. The troops were early on the spot, and rendered cllicicnt aid to the inhabitants in removing their furniture from the blazing apartments. The task was all the more dillicult as thu men were literally enveloped in a shower of sparks, which had a dazzling and almost blinding effect on them. The space formed by the Hues Vavin and Brca was quickly rendered impassable in consequence of the furniture, broken mirrors, mattresses, and household goods piled in one promiscuous heap of confusion in its centre. In spite of the galiant efforts of the lire brigade, the troops, the Municipal Guard, and several compa nies of police, the fire was not got under till four in the morning of Saturday, and even at that hour but little impression was apparent to the spectators as a consequence of their exer tions, for llames leapt up every now and then. The quarter is poor, and hundreds of the fami lies of workmen, artisans, and muehauics, whose scanty furniture was not insured, have suffered severely. Poor women, scarcely clothed, who had rushed out of their beds, were all night to be seen crouching in the midst of the household goods they had been enabled to remove; and, strange to relate, lying on the heaped-up mat tresses, children and babies, fast asleep, laid there by their distracted mothers, apparently enjoyed their sivsta in the open night air as thoroughly as though ruin and misery had not overtaken their families. A young girl of singu lar beauty, wrapped in a scarlet curtain, wan dered amid the wreck of her father's property. Four hundred and fifty cabs and .80,000 worth of property have been destroyed. M. Kousseau's organ factory has been seriously damaged. IMoIm lo Aswnnnlnato in Spain. The ordinary complexity of Spanish affairs is increased in this case by the fact that concur rently with the late Carlist agitation a move ment has been set on foot for the restoration of Queen Isabella. The scheme finds no favor liinong the populace, to whom a second edition f Isabella's regime would be much more repug nant than the rule even of Don Carlos; but cer tain officers ami priests are still on the side of the ex-Queen. Hie plot to assassinate Serrano, Prim, andj Kivcro was not a Carlist plot. It was got up by these adherents of the deposed sove reign, and, according to the Iwlependanee liebje, it was of a very extensive character. General Don -Miguel de la Vega Indian is the chief ot the conspirators who have been arrested. That he was implicated in the plot to assassinate the revolutionary leaders is doubtful: but the letters lound in his possession shows that he is certainly connected with the general conspiracy for the restoration of the Queen. lhe Madrid correspondentol the Indcnendanov Beige mentions a very alanninf fact. The securities tor a loan issued by Do:. Carlos have met with a very favorable reception in some parts of Spain. At Saragossa the bonds offered by the ageuts were covered by three times the required amount, at Valladolid twice, at Burgos the sum was hall as much again. IT It A. Another Vrrlon of rrrxident Crnut'M Sentl- IIICIllH. Mr. Domingo Ruiz is supposed to have writ ten the letter of which the following is an ex tract: I went to the headquarters of General (Jrant, and not being able to see liim, because lie was much occupied, received notice, through one of his aids, that he would see me on the next day.

There was organized all the elements of the revolution of Cuba under one gov ernment. There It was where we acquired the right to ne recognized as an independent nation oy the civilized world. We are not Ignorant that, alt hough the organs of our enemy publish much against us, our successes have followed so swlltly that we are now rid of our op pressors throughout all the country of the Kastern anil Central Departments of the Island. We are absolute masters in the country, while our Spanish enemies are being decimated in the large cities by disease and famine, ftnd when they obtain food they must go with thousands of men in order to protect the little that they may obtain.

Louis is a ftrst-ratc place to emigrate from. So thought Louis Hansel, the proprietor of a lngcr-bcer saloon at No. 1128 North Seventh street, in that city. Where would he come to, being a sagacious and sensible man, but to Chicago, tlio centre of civilization, tho centre of commerce, tho centre of attraction, and pro bably the centre of gravity? He packed up his new valise, a bran-new second-hand one, for which he paid : currency, and then sat down to give his wife directions how to run the ma chine when ho was far away. It was a sight worthy of a sign painter. He dandled a two year oUl llaxcu-haircd baby the solitary result of their love upon his new pair of breeches. His larboard arm encircled the pretty waist of hit wife. The baby played with a flagon of creamy lager, which the fond parents nipped to aid the mastication of a plentiful supply of sauerkraut which they had engulfed a short time before. A tear stood in thu starboard optic of the husband. It was their llrst parting. " Coming events cast their shadows before," and there was something upon Louis' mind or stomach which forboded disaster. The expan sive area of his face which, when clean shaven, was as smooth as a file was now rippled and ruffled with care. Ho spoke in tender tones of the business, of the quantity of beer on hand, and of the thousand dollars in the bank which she was to take such good care of. Like a true woman aiul wife, she endeavored to dissipate the gloom Hist destroyed his peace of mind. Willi a kiss she assured "him that she would be care ful and attentive to business, and especially watchful of his hard-won currency. He need not be uncasv. She was not. She had no doubt that while he was wandering in the wilds of Chicago everything at home would be lovely and the goose vould be suspended to an exalted altitude. They fell on each other's neck and wept as David and Jonathan did once upon a time. They embraced, thev osculated, they took a farewell glass out of a keg recently tapped, and parted. Louis set out on his pilgrimage, and readied the Mecca which he sought in safety. He had not the good luck to break his neck, aud realize the amount of a twenty-five cent, accidental policy in which he liad invested. He perambu lated the streets of Chicago, and looked out for a good place to set up business in, and indulged pleasant day dreams of future happiness when his wife, his baby, and his beer should be rescued from St. Louis, and lie be nourishing like a green bay horse. A week passed plea santly enough, and he was about to consummate a bargain, when lie received a letter from his wile. It was written in the vernacular of Goethe and Schiller. The following is a literal transla tion: "St. boras, July 2"i, Isril'. My drar Lnuis, t ho durlins! of my heart ami Html, I um in groat rfiMrt'tts; and tn whom ani I to tty in my hour of micry, and in whom am 1 to contiiln, it not in my own sweet Loina. 1 havonot slept nights since you left, tor 1 hear that Chirairn is not the safest place t'r h man whose wile is in St. Ijouis, and vanu t keep him in heriye. This is merely preliminary, so a gently to break the news ot u great miHfortunn winch han befallen us. lleer suits welL 1 havonot tho heart to tell you what I referto. The naby is well, fth! how can J break the sad news to you y I am in ood health. Tho fact is that f drew the money from the bank so as to have it near me, and last nifrht two 'niters' broke into tho house ana threatened to kill me if 1 did not fork over. Knowing that you would rather lose it than mo, I let them lutve it. Can't you send me it:M0 out of what you took with you to pay for beer!1 Your impecunious wife, KAT11KINA." The letter was a stunner. It knocked Louis' prospects out of time. He telegraphed to thu detectives at St. Louis to hunt up the thieves. They telegraphed back that no such robbery had taken place. Louis began to smell an enormous rodent. He sent fr further particulars. Ho was informed that his saloon was closed, that the"stock in trade" had been sold out; that his two year old baby was in the hands of a friend, and that his wife had taken the 10(K) and another man and ran away with both. That was the unkindest cut of all. He felt awfully cut up about it. The only information that he could gather about the gay Lothario who had wooed and won his faithless frau was that he was young aud handsome. He was also informed that, suppos ing he would return to St. Louis after hearing of the robbery, his tickle spouse and her paramour had shaken St. Louis dust from their pedal ex tremities and had started for this city. In the hopes of catching them, poor, forlorn, and for saken Louis placed the case in the hands of Detective Schulman, who is now busy working it up. Meanwhile Louis feels bad. He has not been used to such things. A wife never ran away from him before. He has not lived in Chicago. GEARY AXI) BREWSTER. The Rcnuriit for tlin Attornev-Genrral to Ite mIkii hi 1'osiiion. The Sunday JU jmbUe of yesterday refers as Toiiows to tne irouuic about the State Attorney Generalship: "The rumors current for some months relative to the removal of iicnjamiu 11. lirewster, Esq., from the position of Attorney-tieiieral of this State, have at length takeu such dellnite shape that it will no longer be improper to refer to thu matter. There is no denying the fact that uo single act of Governor Geary has made so many enemies in his own party as tho appointment of Jlr. lirewster. When the ap pointment was made, and we believe it was accom plished mainly through the influence of General Cameron and Senator Lowry, considerable indigna tion was expressed, more especially because he ob tained preferment over .fudge Carroll lirewster, and other talented nnd popular gentlemen, who were each endorsed by hundreds of our best citizens, while Mr. lienjuiiiin 11. had not, we believe, half a dozen endorsers for the position. "The opposition to the Executive then began, and has been increasing; with lapse of months, until his friends believed it. absolutely necessary, to secure harmony in the party, to have the principal bone of contention removed. Governor Geary had good sense anil judgment enough to see the matter In its proper light, and, soon after the gathering of the last nominating convention, a mutual friend was) sent to jir. itrewbicr wnn ttie request that he would resign, to which that gentleman responded negatively. Some weeks passed, and on the iimh ult., two days after the meeting of the Stale Central Committee, the following letter was sent lo Mr. lirewster: " 'Contini Sxai, llm:r., JulyWI. Hon.

Butler propose to have an election lor L' nitcd States Senator this win ter, and with this view " prlvato advices'' say he will give considerable attention to the elec tion of the Legislature this fall. To be sure, the constitutional time for tlio election of a Sen ator docs not take place till a year later, but that's no consequence. To preparo tho way, perhaps, wo notice that tho General has been writing a very unhandsome letter to a gentle man in New York concerning Mr. Wilson and I lie labor question, in which something is said about mounting hobbies after they get well started. Tho Essex General speaks with feeling on subject. Melon Aiovrtmr, Aug. 7. SOUTH AND CENTRAL AMERICA. The Tronblcn In Nlrnrnnnn. Panama, July 31 President Guzman, of Nicaragua, under date of June 27, has issued the following proclamation: Compatriots: Yesterday was Inaugurated in Leon by the taking of the barracks, a revolutionary move ment which has been threatening for some time past. You well know that the loyal and benellcent policy which I have always striven to follow, from the time Unit I llrst occupied tho position of President, guar anteeing tho exercise of every liberty, but this has not heen cuougn. i ne iiisposiuoii ior iimcora ns seized upon the hearts of some few misguided Nlca- tagtuins, impelling tnem to tne commis sion of tne blackest oi crimes seiiinon. iNicara guans: 1 have adopted in time of peace the utmost, mildness In the exercise of power, but I am resolved to apply every energy to the re-establlslitnent of order, and I rely on your co-opcratlwn and braery. (icneral ,'olllcers and stildiers, rally round tho Gov ernment with one accord. Be warned now, as upon former occasions, of the disturbers of the public, and be sure that you will Ond in your midst your sincere friend, Fkknando Oizman. Nicaragua. June 27, 1S69. On the 4th inst., an engagement took place at a place called "San Roque," between the Gov ernment troops and the insurgents, in which the latter were completely put to rout. The roads for a great distance were tracked with the blood of the defeated rebels, showing that the Chasse pot rifles, of the Government troops had done good service. The revolutionists arc committing nil kinds of depredations. The Vnlrnnnc TlirrntrniiiR Iundor. Gr A y aqv 1 1., July 25. Wc are all frightened over the predictions of the German savant who declares that this year we shall experience the greatest earthquakes that have ever been known. These predictions are believed by a great many, particularly as we have every now and then a good shaking. On the 21st instant we had quite a severe shock of earthquake here, which was felt as far as Paita and Callao. Two days afterwards a shower of ashes fell over this city, which it is believed proceed from the old volcano Picliiuchl, the mountain on which tho city of (Juito Is situated. The volcanoes of Piehinchi and Cotopaxi are at present in a state of activity, which lends to all kinds of apprehensions. The Tumbcs petroleum wells arc doing well; thev produce at present some 3000 gallons daily. The National Conven tion has declared the country in a state of war; it has given the Executive full power to act just as lie pleases. General Garcia Moreno is a despot of the worst character, and the power conferred on him will be used to the very best advantage to gratify his thirst ior blood. Revolt In Bolivia. La Paz, Juno 28. In consequence of the se questration of the lands belonging to the In dians by Gen. Melgarjo, in May 'last, for the purpose of replenishing the treasury, the Indians have ejected the purchasers, aud are in a stale of revolt. Troops have been sent to reduce them to obedience. With this exception peace nnd quiet reign all through the republic. The remainder of the troops quartered here arc hard to work cutting the road through tho mountains to the Valley of Potopoto. Bolivia recognizes the cause of the Cubans as her own, aud will shortly accredit a Minister to the Government of Ceepedes. Snlvndor'n Condition. The commercial and political condition of Sal vador is highly satisfactory. This is one of the most prosperous aud promising of the Central Amwrican republics. The imports for the last quarter, at the port of La Llbcrtad, were is:,854-41. against 843,333,32 exports for tlio same period. The scieutllic commission, which was sent to the volcano Izalco, to report on the causes and origin of the late eruption, have re turned to the capital. The mountain was still so heated that the commission could not approach the crater. Guatemala nt Peace. Guatemala is at peace, and the late disorders consequent upon the invasion of Scrapio Cruz and his followers have been entirely quelled. This republic is on the sure road to progress a ad material advancement. Fresh capital is con tinually being invested in coffee nud indigo estates. FIXAXCK ANU CO.lI.lIKEtC'i:. Office of the Kvenino TF.i,EonAPH, Moudav, August V, IS69. i Our local Money market continues to grow in case from day to day, but it is partly to be accounted for by the extreme quiet which reigns in the stock market, and which has greatly diminished the de mand lor call loans during the past three or four days.

They are now discounting freely, although these favor's are generally limited to customers, at 7 per cent, for lirst-class signatures; but outsiders are glad to pav 8 percent, at the banks, and from 8i 9 per cent, atjthe discount houses.
