Rejection of the lrleh Church Bill In

(By Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Ciszette.l
• GREAT
Lorimer, June s.—The Daily Telegraph
regards the speech' of Lord Clarendon as
neither defiant nor subservient, but as
•digtdfiggi 6y a flimnese whinh expresses
the national determination. It 'shows
whaOrely be solicited with success is con
tained in the articles of the rejected
treaty, and that what it is hopeless to sug
gest is contained. in Mr. Sumner's speech.
England will never put a troubleeome
pressure on Mr. Motley to hasten the
' completion of his task, but will be al
ways ready to cancel every trace of angry
feeling likely, to disturb the relations of
kindred nations.
•Lorinore June s.—The Royal Thames
Yacht Ulub race resulted in the Egeria
winning the first prize in six hours,
twenty minutes, forty seconds, beating
the Cimbria. The course was from
• Graves End to Mouse Light and back.
The Prince of Wales accompanied the
yachts in the yacht Princess.
Lorimer, June 6.—g he papers this
morning unite in interpreting Lord
Clarendori's brief review of the Alabama
eorrespoudence in the House of Lords
last evening. It was designed to indi
• tate to Mr. Motley, previous to an offl
- cial interview, the sentiments of the
present Ministry. "
The London. Standard, Tory organ,
after abusing America for shiftiness,
arrogance and greed, says that do Eng
lish Minister ever bad to, make any ex
planations so humiliating as Lord Claren
don uttered last night before the House
•of Lords: However csonsolons of sin

duct. it was no less humiliating
to be obliged to treat Almost/yen-
Menai phrases of diplomacsy with

United States - has done In the Alabama
case. He admits, however, that it is still
his duty, notwithstanding the pastel°
reneiehis effort', even without any hope
of an honest desire for concord being
rightly interpreted by any but a small
of the Americian,eople. Lord
;ill* . 'Anion then announced that his Gov
' ernment would not iefuse to. reopen no
gotiations, provided they were not ate
pristatied7 in . a spirit to that ,
which animated Senator Sumner's
Speech, which was so applauded
hy 1, the American - Senate; but for
thee.. moment he was unable to
communicate to the House the
tephr of Mr. Mbtley's instructions, or
even whether that gentleman had any •
. Instructions, which he could at present
Make known. In the meantime, until
Mr. Motley should please to open busi
miss on the subject, and tell us, if he
can, not only what dediand he has to
make, but also what he may have by
• way of,supplementary linstructions as
• well, we hold in our hands a limit of
compliments toward, blot 'as author of
- certain lively hlstori6s dt low countries.
' The London Telegraph, a ministerial
organ, says the speech of the foreign
Secietary looks like an unmistakable
expression of • English opinion, made
witkedignified firmness and an Indication
of national resolve. From what trans
pired in. the House of Lords last night,
ildr. Motley can Ascertain what hopes
"there are to reopen negotiations, and he
'will see that in the opinion of English
men that country has gone far enough.
What he may solicit he can
find =in the articles of renewed

toetenggest he can discover in Senator
Sumner's speech. He mill learn from
the earnest language and manly bearing
of Lord Clarendon that the foreign office
; never will put a troublesome pressure
upon the new American Minister to has
- ten the corup!etiou of his difficult task.
' And moreover, England is always ready
to cancel every trace of angry feeling
that may for a tinto have disturbed the
kaffectionaterelationsof a kindred people.
The London Star, John Bright's organ,

Mr. Motley end Mr. Fish and President

Rim . London Times says -that Lord

after having been formally signed by the

Loßtiort e June 6.—A meeting of the
Coaseryative Peers was held yesterday
to determine what course should be me
' onedln regard to the bill for the disestab
anent tif the Irish Church.
Lord Cairns urged. that opposition be
made to the bill on second reading, and
that it be finally rejected. Ile said the
.:leaders of the party did not 'wish to
. dictate and were anxious that the judg
• silent of each' Peer should remain unfet
lered. He felt .that as the country had
toyer pronounded on the present bill,
and as the feeling of the House of Lerds
'Was so opposed to it, the most consistent
'awe best ceurso to pursue under the cir
onmstences would be to repudiate the
tnefeletre.
Lord Salisbury deprecated the course
• recommended by Lord Cairns. The agi
tation which would follow the rejection
of the bill would be molt disastretui to
II
the country and would do nothing to save
the Irish Chnrch. It would be better to
aceept the bill and modify it in Corn.
mons, than to renew ill feeling and ex
citement. • • - •
• Lord Carl:level' opposed the recom
dation of Lord lialisbury., He urged the
Chamber of Peers that.now it was able to
make terms for the Irish Church; they'
might not !Ave an opportunity hereafter.
Lord Derby was in favor of the
.rejec-•
tion of the bill, contending that personal
fears should deter no one from' doing;
right.
The majority of. the Lords present ap
proved of the views of Lord Derby, and
It was agreed the second reading of the
bill should be opposed. It is estimated
there will be a majority of eighty against

hours' length to a large audience. He
discussed a number of questions of local

chisement question for the close. This,
ho said, - -was the alLabsorblng topic, and
as he was seeking an office the people
had' a right , to demand an aVuwal
of his opinions relative to it.
He said he stood by his record,
and read a letter upon'the . au bject, writ
ten by him to Col. Thornbury and others
in January last. In that letter he stated
,tbaphe was not in , favor of universal suf
frage, never had been, and did not s know
that he ever would be, and declared' that ':
Itty was in favor of opening the blot box
to rebels only when it could be safely
done, and done then by a two-thirds ma
jority of the Legialature. He also re
, forred to his speech in this city on the
14th of April, in reply , to Johnson;
and reiterated the views therein
expressed. In that speech he said
the ballot box would be opened to the
*bola when they cease , to murder and
assassinate. and showed by their good
obedience that they could be trusted with
the ballot. He claimed that his policy
was in accordance with that of the party,
as shown in the fourteenth amendment

Congreas, by a vote of two-thirds, to re

rior Court yesterday. The decision is to
the effect that Muhlke, the defendant,
shall receive $120,000, and the two sons
of the deceased the balance. Muhlke,
it Will be remembered, was the
confidential agent of old man Uhlich at
the time of hie death, and after the oc
currence of that event was found to be
possessed of deeds which conveyed to
him nearly Ine entire property, leaving
the sons little or nothing. They sued
and recovered all but the sum named
above, which was; the first deed obtained
by lititthlke and held to be valid.
Two hundred boxes and barrels of
sugar were seized in this city yesterday,
by the. Collector of the Port, for non-pay
ment of duties. There will be other
seistres made, as there is a large quan
tity hi the market which never paid duty.

HAVANA, June 4, via KEY WM, June
5.--The prograunte df the volunteers is
to remain quiet until the arrival of Gen.
Cabalerci De Rods, allow him to assume
command, and then await events._ The
Spanish Admiral strongly objected to
the action of the volunteers in deposing ,
Gen. Dulce, but as he finally acqUitisced,
it is believed he will remain a passive
spectator of whatever they may do before

ernors of Cardenas and Colon and pro
pose to ;establiah a triumvirate, consist
ing of prominent Spaniards, to govern

A"Ktdtcuious Will by a Wealthy Han,
The Columbus (Ohio)`fournat of Tues
day last says: Yesterday we heard of and
read part Of the most singular will on re
cord. TIM maker of the will is repreH
aented to be a shrewd, suecessful busi
ness mandwho has itecumulat: d quite a
large fortune. lie exhibits no other sign
of insanity than may be derived from the
extreme eccentricity of his Will, although.
it is prohnble the courts will, in due
course, beicalled upon to determine the
question whether the testator was -of
sound andinispesing mind.
The will disinherits all the natural heirs.
of toe maker Of it, and devises the en
tire property in trust - tor the establishment
of an infirmary for Cats. A most elab
orate arehltecturul,plan tbr the necessary
buildings IS attached to and made part of
the will. It provides areas for that sweet
amatory Obverse b 0• dear to the feline
heart, and ret•boles of the moat ravishing
nature, tot be kept well stocked. Thu
most ingenious contrivances zero provided
for the secu i rin.. ,, to the rat a chance to es
cape, so that the cats may not lose the
pleasure the chase by finding their
prey come too easily: High walls are to
be bnilt, wi,h gently sloping roofs, for the
moonlight promenade and other nocturnal
ainusement4 of the eats. The trusteea
are directed! to select the grounds tor this
novel infirmary in the ino.4t, populous
part of somis American city, and the de
visees are td bit protected by a competent
force of nuts from the ravages of men
and dogs. ; o person of the male sex is
ever to be shitted within the walls, and
no female whb has children or is under
thirty years 'oht: There are hundreds of
minute direetiens which we have no time
to note.
One would suppose that in the forego
ing provisions the testator had exhausted
all the eccentr i cities of one man, however
unique his I t ure; but the last pro Vision
of • the will se ms more outrageously bi
zarree than L y that go before. Bays the
devisor: "I I'3 ve all my life been taught
that everythi g in and about man was in
tended to be ' seful, and that it was man's.
duty, as lord f animals, to protect all the
lesser species, eves as , God protects and
