•• 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.

Lormcar, July 9:—/ifichught.—ln the
Rouse'of Lords to-night theerish Church':,
bill came up for report from the. 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. ' •

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.

THE CHINESE.

From a very interesting letter from the
e special San Francisco correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette we make the fol
lowing extracts regarding the new class
of citizens rapidly Pouring into our court
try from the Oriental. 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,

shown to the end of his days.

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. Enougl4were
lected to attend all the machinery, and in
a few days the mill was running again up
to its full capacity, and•producing iti best
quality of goods. • And here the, most
proved machinery knoirn in such estab
lishmeats is in use.
They do all the work in . the most ex
tensive shot tower in the West. They
make ali line articles of gentlemen's wear
where the neatest ma - chine sewing is re
quired.. They bind books and make
books; they set type Without knewing the
language; they carve with _great skill;
in short,'they are learning all trade's rap
idly, and becoming versed in the myste
ries of ailleavy machinery, and delicate
and labor saving machines as well; and
in all their movements are about as accu
rate and regitar as the machinery itself.
