LONDOIC, July 7.—The Daily News says the Irish Church bill will leave the House of Lords with a very different character from which it entered, and much less ac ceptable to the country. It will be quite impossible for the Commons to accept the amendments made by the Peers, and it will be their duty to restore the bill in its original form. The Lords have done their best to spoil the measure. They prudently abstained from rejecting, and the Commons must tratisforin ,the de formed. The Times, commenting on the last night's debate, says: By their' last act he House of Lords have completed the transformation of the Ministerial scheme. They have refused by a majority of sev enty to approve the clause appropriating the surplus funds of the Church, and have preferred to reserve the question for future consideration. The meaning of the vote is not obscure. The Duke of Argyle condemned it, by anticipation, as an attempt to reverse the vote by which the Duke of Cleveland's amendments, proposing concurrent endowment, was rejected, and although we agreed with the Marquis. of Salisbury, that Lord Cairns can scarcely have provision for the residences of. Catholic priests at heart, we must acknowledge the justice of the Duke of Argyle's general conclu sion, that the vote unquestionably re verses, in sPirit; if not in forin, the dad-. sion against the Duke of Cleveland's scheme. - The Times believes the country is ready and willing. to support the grant for ec clesiostical residences to the Catholics and Presbyterians. If the opportunity to make it is rejected, it will be because the governing powers, being unable to rise above the catch words of party, dare not look openly and courageously at the truth.

JULY 8, 1869 Its Beauty Wealth and Growth—United - States Con rt--J edge McCandless* and Dthers--Wedding in High Ufa.— ' Dickinson Seminary. • I - Visitors to th-s Charming city are ,at once impressed with the thrift and pro gressive spirit of the people, es pecially in . the western end. The plan of the lots and streets indicate a liberal spirit, and the buildings, generally, are of the most progressive and . moderun finish, The valley in which the 'city is located, and through which the West Branch of the Susquehanna courses, is one of the loVli , est that graces the northeastern,, tier of counties of our State. The opening of railroad communication from the sea board to the lakes, and to other interior points, have had a magic influence upon the place, and the live men of the City have not been:. slow to use the power. The chief article of trade is lumber, though quite a number of other manu facturing interests flourish. The extent of the lumber bush:ism is a matter of surprise to visitors; Think of one firm' owning minty-ttsothousand acres• of timber land, and oth r firms own exten sive domains of forest. Many of the lumber merchants are immensly wealthy, and they have done much towards; build ing up the city, by their liberal gifts. In the latter part of June and early part of July, a great many strangers are attracted to the city to attend the United States Court, and the closing exercises of Dickinson Seminary. Sessions of the ,I Circuit and, District -Courts are usually ; held, as is the case this time. The sae. sten opened some days, ago, and from the number of cases, it is expected it will extend into ' the second week of this month. Judges Grier and McCandless are in attendance. I Most of the cases befOre the Grand Jury were for using fraudulent means to; break the Internal Revenue laws, especially , for illicit dis tilling. Strange; tosay, not one case of counterfeiting wa s before the Grand 1 Jury.- The adminietration of law , by I General Grant on lenders deters anah an infringement. T e Grand Jury are as follows: Gen. John Patton, Clearfield county; W. M. Hall, Bedford; W. H. ' Koontz Somerset; M. Waters, Warren; James Pierce and M. C. Trout, Mercer; J. Irwin and G. W.

Judge McCandless maintains the dig- 1 nity or his high ()tacit, and is universally I admired for his courteous bearing, can- 1 dor and impartiality. His suavity of manner makes him popular everywhere. 1 Since his induction into office the duties have more than quad rupled, and involve constant attention, aftbrding very , little time for vacation. His judicial career,is an honor to Pittsburgh. The venerable Judge Grier, though feeble in body, ap pears to be vigorous in mind. The fam ilies of both the judges are here.' Mr. S. i C. McCandless, the Judge's son, is very devoted to the clerical duties of his office, and is quite ,proficient. The venerable H. Sproul occupies his old position as Clerk of the Circuit Court. The new Marshal, Murdo3h, has had large experience ix, the duties of hie office. He is a gentleman of great probity of char acter, courteone and dignities, and like his worthy predecessor, Gem:Rowley, fills the position with ; credit. Deputy Marshal.

Amenrtha great improvenients and 1 attractions of the city is the "Herdic Houses" erected at the West End, by a princely lumber merchant, Mr. peter Herdic. Its spacious halls and rooms, and beautiful grounds attached, render it one of the best and pleasantest houses in the ocrikntry.'
