GE.icitement Over the Action of the Pe era on the Irish Churcn 'Bill—The London Press and the Postponement of the Debate on the Alabania Claims—Pont-. kat Storm to Prance--Important Cons cessions by the Emperor—Resignation of the Ministry—Progress of the Great Eastern With the Cable.- •EB7 Tel( graph to the Pittsbgrah fiarette .1 •• GREAT• BRITAIN. ' , Lorimar:, July B.—The action of the House of Lordson the Irish Cliurch bill caused intense excitement. Messrs. Bright and Gladstone are in receipt of -letters daily from.persomi offering a re oomnienceinent: of, the Reform Leagie agitation, but they discountenance the movement for the present, and express - the belief that the Lords will recede at the last moment from their opposition to will-ofthe people, through•a compro . mise, effectedin the raistponement of the date of the disestablishment to January, 1872, by paying in a ,lump the sum of half a million pounds in lieu of private. donations, and by , allowing life interests to be computed at fourteen years pur -chase. The following ,letter has been circu lated privately among well known Pro . gressives: "Sum' In view of a probable failure of the Irish Church bill through the opposition of the House of Lords to "the Government, the Commons and the oonutry, you are requested to inform the Secretary of the Reform League wbether. you are willing that your names ail be used in the event of a defeat of the meOsure, tO a - public call for a mass meet ing to consider the best constitutional method of getting rid of this obstruction of legislation based upon the expressed ' will of, the people." Lormox, July 9.—The Tines regards the postponement of the debate on the the Alabama claims . with satin . !faction.; Their introduction. at the present moment would 'serve no good !purpose. A general sense of weariness with respect to the subject on both sides ' necessitates an interval of a considerable period before' it is resumed. Debate could be only useful if Parliament dis approved of the conduct of the Minis , try, or wished to instruct it in regard to future negotiations. Bat there is - no dis satisfaction. The only charge against Lords Stanley and Clarendon is that they were too yielding; but Commons were not likely to advise, a withdrawal - f the coneessiorie made, nor, were they prepared to' lay dawn a plan, for future negotiations, ' and antici pations of such results froth 'dis cussion were most imprudent. Another reason for declining discussion, is due regard for national dignity, which forbids our approaching the American government on these guestions. Public opinion is unanimous on this point. The late treaty was virtnaily American, for it was madei - altered - and re-altered by Seward and Johnson. It was rejected as much through party antipathies as from discontent with its- provisions. It was pro' bablyforedoomed, and whatever its provisions might have been, in all likelihood it would have' met the same fate.. England- is ready to listen to any proposals from America, but to display a desire to receive them fivor ably wouldtend to increase, not reason, the densand. When Mr. Motley consid ers the feeling of America is such that a treaty consistent with the honor of Eng land,will satisfy the Americans, he may address the Government for a renewal of negotiations. Only such treaty will have a chance ofncceptance. Nothing more is desired than to live in peace arid good•will withekindred nation, but now less disposition exists to sacrifice the in ' terests and dignity of the country. Any unjust, pretentious public will not approve any eagerness to negotiate, which seems to forbade weakness when negotiation comes. The prevalence of more moderate views in America is grat • ifying. It is to be hoped that the ques tion of the Queen's neutrality proclama tion' which has dropped out of eight, will bey tacitly abandoned. ' This formidable -change is -owing to the discovery that, England will not concede beyond a cer tain point, and this resolution is not like ly to be shaken. The Star is glad the Alabama discus :slant his been postponed. American in; , vestment against England is likely to become weaker, and - her 'desire to re duce the littrden of the' public debt Stronger.- The best thing for botheoun tries is to. hold their peace, for while no general discussion can sitaplify mat --ters,,the new, House of Commons evi dently preferred to leave the responsi ' bllit9 of postponement on the Govern , . ment, and the &or thinks the country will approve its.prudent self restraint. It is reported Lord Bowden has been appointed Minister from England to Spain. 'Chambers The - -Arisoclated m of Com .

Com.: .mutes.' On motion of. Lord Cairns. the date of first of May, 1871, was substituted , .for the first of January, 1872, throughout the bill. Lord Itedeedille moved au amendment 'that representatives of the Irish Church •and the Catholic Synod, in case of vacant Bishops, nominate three persons for the .Crown to 'elect froM, and that the Crown em pow e red to summon - one Agora, bishop and two Bishops from each .church to sit in Pirliament. - The Bart of ()Milani protested, on the. part of the Catholics, *gatost the amend which he declared was utterly admissible. It was withdrawn: The Marquis of Claneardy moved that .cianse 28, giving wirer to :;convey addl land to the' Church body - be restored to its - original - form. Be .said the :cilania,c as now -amend ed, revived the - Protestant U. .oe mdanosi in its most hateful form, .giving glebe ' lands to tbe Church, but, refusing them to Catholica and Presbyterians. It was certain that the Government and tho House of Commons ' would never sanction t,lie amended clause. .-.. The Marquis of Salisbury replied that on moving the amendment he contem plated similar grants to Catholics and Presbyterians, according to 341 r. Bright's. Is original proposal, which ±. Gladstone • had endorsed; but, he thought that the' retention of their own glebes hes by the Irish Chhrch•was not unfair. - After further discussion it was an nounced that the Catholics- had decided not to accept glebe' lands or residences. The Marquis of Clancardy's motion to restore clause twenty-nine was lost by a vote of 40 to 90. The amendment embracing the pro posal of Earl Granville to pay half a million sterling in money, instead of handing over private enctowments cre ated before 1660, was _agreed to. The report was then received. ' The Earl of Clancardy gavinottce that when the bill came up for the third read ing he should move a postponement of three months. ' • Fit *NC E. PARIS, July B.—The political commo tion in France centinues. The Emperor has decided to give way to the Chamber, and to change his system of government. He meets with great difficulties in his efforts to complete a new combination, but the .grand event is expected in a week. The new Ministry will emerge from the Centre Left party, between the. Radical minority •and the adherents of the Empire. The Centre Left are for Empire, but insist on a responsiblii' Min ister or a Parliamentary Government, as in England. The specie in the Bank of France has decreased eleven million nine hundred thousand francs. , • PARIS, July 9.—The 'Peuple Francais says the deputies in the 'Corps Legielatif, who are now signing an interpolation for political reform, are members of Tiers,' Parti and friends of the government. They do not want the Emperor to renounce his right" of initiative, but ask him to allow . theL-ChOinber to share in it. We believe the Emperor is not disposed to reject their demand. The situation is not disquieting. While one side Is not disposed to make exag gerated claims, the other is equally re solved not to make exaggerated resist ance. The crisis - will terminate in a compromise which will satisfy :.pub lie opinion. The billet° continues: Minister Rouner, in his reply yesterday to M. Favre, admitted that a ministerial crisis was spoken of, but the great question or the changes, with will powerfully affect the institutions of society lu the future, was bound op with the question of the barrier which naust be raised against revolution. We know 'not when or by whom the agreement will be achieved, wo do know on what for ce the Chant ber wilt rely to preserve society. '. The eventng journals announce the re signation of Ministers. It is believed M. Rouher has been commissioned to form a new cabinet, which will include four members of the Tiers Parti. A manifesto from the Emperor is looked for. Senator Ramsey, of MinnesotaoarrivNl here to-day. . • BREST, JuiY 9.—Un to Thursday noon the steamship Great Eastern had_ run 1,754 knots from this port and paid out 1,977 knots of the cable., The officers of the expedition on board the steamer ex pected to reach the shoal by Friday noon.

Empire: • Whlt of the Chinese? Much that is interesting and important. There are in round number§ one hundred thousand of them in the Pacific te ttates, and the. new arrivals now avert from fifteen hun dred to two thousand per month. They, abound as laborers along the whole line of the Central. Pacific Railroad to Pro montory Point, and over this , distance' have pushed Off isito.the towns as servants and tradesmen, and into tile mines where ever allowed to mile. ;They are spread ing eastward slowly; there are a few Omaha, and John Chinaman, with his round hat and pig tall 'coiled under it of dangling•between hts heels, his long blue shirt which he wear. over his blue panta loons will shortly be no curiosity in the Mississippi Valley. Be is on his way in force to make hisonsture Eastern employ era a visit. ' ' ' Chinatown,'as the qfiarter of the city. in which the Celestials live is' ealled;•is certainly one of the most interesting spots to visit in • California; There are'abotit-e -dozen ' blocks, 'whose four sides `swarm` with them, and a-balf dozen streets fOr distance of several squares` are filled with their stores and shops. It is a live scene. The Chinaraan moves quick, and the stream in the - streets seems constant, thOugh it is heaviestwhen those 'employed over the city pour out from, film. quarters to 'their ' places of employment in the morning, and return, in the flood tide at , night. , • Cialifornia, is blessed with gold, and rich soil, and charming climate. Its reseurces are beyond computation. Its best citi zens-speak of these, and then say that of all their blessings that of Chinese labor is one of the greatest. The whole business and cominerce of the State was languish ing' because of the scarcity of laborers. But juk in the tune of greatest need' the •rellet came. Women were few in Cali fornia, house servants could be found for the wealthiest alone. But John arrived, and though he knew nothing of Ameri can housekeeping or cooking,. he learned both with almost a single lesson. And taken as a class there are no better house 'Beriaite in the:land to-day , than these, if indeed there is; any class so good.. And they are equally, as; •efficigni as cooks, - chamber luallifitrintrser - , - Stit — Wiliern once or twice hOw,to do any - rXing within the_ range of their ability, and in house hold matters it is a wide one, and he will Continue to do the , thing exactly as he was shown to the end of his days. • But for Joint) the Pacific Railroad would have been delayed three - Years.' As' an artist with shoved ; or ;drill,' wheel barrow and cart he bee proved himself unsurpessed. He is temperate, has no _rows, is not at home in a .riot„ knoiis nothing of strikes, has few holidays, boards himself, cooks his Own food to 3:kis own liking, does his own washing, keeps himself ecrupulously clean, is always respectful, contented and jovial. He is above all other classes a most rise fal and pleasant person. to build railroads with. And then he is good at almost every thing else where intelligent labor is re quired. The largest and finest Woolen mili on the coast, and in fact whose work is not equalled elsewhere, etnploys China men alone. This coutpany,lafter making very heavy.contracts, were i.sitbjeCted to the test of a general strike:..ttmortg their white workmen. To to the de mands -was to lose largely to stop work was to be alined. In this strait they de cided to try Chinese.
