[BY ATLANTIC TELEGE APB.] LONDON, Friday, May 1.-In the debate on the Irish Church ta the Hons* of Commons last night, Lord Elcho said that the introduc? tion of these resolves at the present time was unnecessary and uni or tuna te. The Berman Catholics cf Ireland would never be satisfied rift anything short of supremacy in ecclesias? tics! matters. He regarded the issue present? ed to the House as an imperial one; for the Cb?irchJ?etablishments of England and of Scot? land were menaced as well as that of Ireland. These bio wa were struck at the whole system of tho "union of Church and State in the Unit? ed Kingdom. At- a rather late hour in tho presence of a foll. House, there being an unusual attendance of | inemb: rs of both parties in expectation of a ' division, Mr. Gladstone rose and was loudly cheered. He corumonced by saying that he could not complain of the result of this long debate. " These eleven nights of discussion had fully demonstrated that the Irish Church Es? tablishment never did, and never could, fulfil the end of its creation. It was not the church of the nation; itwas not the church of the poor, nor was it a missionary church. It existed only for the purpose of sustaining political su? premacy1 on a farm most hateful to the people trpon whom it was imposed. Tbie was unen? durable. ' No minister dared* to say, that it should continue to exist. Now was the time to apply the remedy. The miniptera had raised tho question, und had broached a policy m re? gard 1o it trpon which they subsequently failed | to agree. He would say nothing concerning the chsposal cf the church property in Ireland; for more and better information was needed on a question involving interests so extensive. Oar doty now was to accord justice to Ireland. Mr. Gladstone thon, alluding to the personal attacks which had beenroade upon him, denied in the most explicit manner that he had any connection with, or interest in, the policy or plans of either the Ritualista on the one hand or the Rom ari Catholics on the other. Dis? cussing the arguments made against his propositions, he said two leading objections I had been made to his plan for the | disestablishment of the Irish Church. One waa that it imperilled the existence ( of the Established Church of England; the other objection waa that the time was inop? portune.,. Ten years ago, said Mr. Gladstone, the people of Great. Britain were indifferent, and then the introduction of a great reform would have.been untimely: now the people were aroused, and the opportunity presented itself for an early and sound settlement pf the question. The strength of the Church of England lay in her own merits and in the vol? untary seal- of her votaries,- far more than in her coaneciion with the State. . He expressed the belief thai the Church of England would lose none of her strength, even if parted from the 8tste. Sho had maze to fear from her partisans than from her foes, and the reform of the Irish Established Church would Strengthen the Church of England. Mr. Disraeli then rose amid the excited cheers of the House tc reply to .Mr. Gladstone and close the debate.' Ho deplored the act of j injustice contemplated by these resolves. It was an act which involvod wide confiscation cf I property, and menaced the right of every cor- j pora ti o n and every person in the ' Tm te d King? dom. It inevitably most prodig?se the pub lio mind, for a similar attack noon the Church of England, and it was undoubtedly in? tended co have snob, influence. But in spite of tie virulence of the press, and the pres? sure" brought to bear by the advocates of change, he firmly .believed the English people would never sanction the sacrifice of sacred things to party necessities, leading, as it was sure to lead, to results only to be described as revolutionary. . . . At half-past 2 o'clock this morning the House divided on the first of Mr. Gladstone's re j solves, and the count stood as follows: For the resolve, 330; against the resolve, 265; majority, 65. The announcement of the result was received with loud and prolonged cheering from the Liberal benches. Mr. Disraeli then rose, and, amid the most profound silence, said this'1 decision so altered the relations of- the ministry and the House of Commons that the government needed time to consider what action it would take. He ac? cordingly moved that the House adjourn until Monday. The motion waa carried, and the House adjourned. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS. - The London papers, this morning, comment at length on the debates, and generally con? sider the division a decisive one. The Times says no one can deny the im? mense significance of thia event Since the motion to go into committee the Tories have gained' {bree' seats in the Commons; yet, the sixty majori ty has grown to be sixty-six. A dissolution is talked of merely to frighten members. The Herald says the House of Commons by s vote, the importance of which cannot be de? nied, afilrms that the Irish Church should be disestabhahed, but the House of Commons does not speak the voice of the country, as the late election shows. The Daily News says that it is satisfactory to find that the Premier disclaims tile design of advising the Queen to act against the vote of -the House of Commons. His duty is not to dissolve Parliament or resign, but to aid the progress of the resolves. The Standard deprecates the vote of want of confidence as compelling a dissolution, but fears that the Liberals intend to pursue that course. The belief has become general that after the passage of the Referai bills for Ireland and Scotland, the) Disraeli Ministry will dissolve Parliament and appeal to the people on the Irish Ohurch question. The Globe of this af? ternoon, in an editorial, confirms this opinion.

The officers and agents of the Bureau will in all cases give their aid in procuring employ? ment for laborers who have been discharged; and to all such, when able to rent lands and to work them on their own account, advances may be made in conformity with the provisions of the circular of February 27, 1868, and General Orders No. 28, of the same date.

THE COTTON INTEREST. FORMATION OF A NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COT? TON PLANTERS AND MANTJFACTTJBBBB- DELE? GATES FEOM THE SOUTHERN STATES-THE NEW ENGLAND MANUFACTUREES LARGELY REPRE? SENTED. A convention of the cotton growers and man? ufacturers of the United States met in New Tork on Wednesday. The object of the meet? ing is to effect a national organization to pro? mote the general interests of this branch of industry, to obtain and circulate facts and sta? tistics in regard to the growth of cotton in this country and elsewhere, and to take steps to watch the legislation of Congress on the sub? ject. The delegates represent Texas, Alabama, North and South Carolina, Maryland, Dela? ware and the majority of the Northern States. General Daniel Pratt, of Alabama, was called to the chair. On taking the chair the General addressed the convention in a brief but effec? tive speech. He said the South was disposed to unite with the North as heretofore. At the close of the war he believed the people sub? mitted to the results willingly; felt as loyal as ever to the Union, and were disposed to con? tinue so. But taking one-half of the property at one dash distracted the whole people. Many who were men of wealth had become bankrupt. But the people submitted without a murmur. The negroes were freed and the debt was repu? diated. The people took the oath of allegiance, and were disposed to be loyal to the govern? ment. Bat they felt that Congress had hardly done them justice. When mea of education and wealth were disfranchised and ignorant men were' enfranchised and put over tbem, they did not exactly like it, but still they were loyal and were willing to unite with the North and be as free and fraternal as ever they were. The following committee on organization was appointed : Messrs. George P. Tiffany, Maryland; R. Clark, New York; E. R. Mudge and George L. Ward, Massachusetts, and S. W. Johnson, New York. The committee retired, and on returning re? ported the following: For permanent chairman, Mr. Richard Garatea, of Pennsylvania; for per? manent secretary, Mr. Arthur T. Lyman, of Massachusetts. On taking bia seat Mr. Garsted, after thank? ing the gentlemen present for the honor they conferred ou him, said that he regarded the present movement as a most frai tra undertak? ing, and when he looked round and saw gentle? men from all sections of the country, he felt satisfied that success would result to the ef? forts put forward. He recognized men here from Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, North and 8outh Carolina, in those sections where the cotton grows, ready to strike hands with those of the North for the promotion of a com? mon good and the promotion of one of the most material interests of the nation. It is only right and proper that the planter and manufacturer should know each other, and by an interchange of views adopt such meas? ures as would be conducive to their own best interests and the wants of the community. Mr. Madge, of Massachusetts, then submit? ted the following resolution : Resolved, That it ie desirable and expedient that we now proceed to take measures for a permanent organization of the Cotton Manu? facturers' Association. Mr. Mudge then addressed those present on the necessity of an organization of the kind proposed, and after pointing out many of the advantages accruing from its establishment, referred to the benefit it would be in a legisla? tive point of view. Taking, for instance, the tariff question when brought up in Congress and referred to its appropriate or special com? mittee, as the case might be, how beneficial it would be for the committee to whom it was so referred to have the views of practical work? ingmen whose years were spent among manu? factories and whose capital was employed in manufacturing. He did not wish to be under? stood to throw any slur upon the intelligence of our legislatures, but contended that repre? sentatives from agricultural districts could not possibly know the subject so thoroughly as manufacturers, and that the information which .n aBBoeiatlOn of iL? tr? tor ti proposed could ?laoe at the disposal of our legislators would e a valuable auxiliary in securing more intelli? gent and correct legislation. This was only one of the advantages which would be secured. Mr. Moorhead, of North Carolina, was the next speaker, and urged the adoption of the resolution. He said the manufacturers of his State looked forward to the formation of the association with a considerable degree of in? terest Before the war, he said, Northern me? chanics, from a false idea, hesitated to go South, cherishing the idea that the Southern Copie were antagonistic to them. This, per ps, was one of the causes why the manufac? turing interests of the South were not more de? veloped than what it was. This is now changed. You possess the experience here in manufac? turing which the Southern manufacturers lack. In his State there were twenty manufactories, running ?from one to two thousand spindles. All the machinery was old and nearly worn out. The energy and spirit were there, and only wanted development. Au association of the nature in course of formation was sure, he thought, to be productive of good. General Patterson, of Philadelphia, also urg? ed the adoption of the resolution. The chairman then put it to the vote of the meeting, when it was carried unanimously. A Committee on Constitution and By-Laws, consisting of the following gentlemen, was moved and adopted : Abraham Murdock, Ala? bama; D. Lammot, Delaware; James A. Garry, Maryland; John F. Arnold, Massachusetts; D. J. Johnson, New York, and Henry V. Ward, Massachusetts. A recess of twenty minutes was taken, and the committee brought in a report, and the constitution and by-laws submitted were ap? proved. According to the constitution the association will henceforth be known as the "National As? sociation of Cotton Manufacturers and Plant? ers." It will hold annual meetings, the first of which will take place the third Wednesday ot Jane, 1869. The officers of the association shall consist of a president, vice-president, chosen from each State represented in the as? sociation; a secretary, a treasurer, an executive committee of five, not less than thirty nor more than fifty directors, and the members of the standing committees, who together shall con? stitute the government of the association. There are to be four standing committees, viz: on finance, statistics, machinery and raw material, the duties of which shall be as fol? lows: 1. The Committee ou Finance shall have the general superintendence of all matters of finance connected with the association, and one or other of the members thereof shall give his written approval to all vouchers of expendi? ture, in order to their payment by the treas? urer. 2. The Committee on Statistics shall, with the aid of the secretary, inquire after and col? lect Statistical information relating to the growth and manufacture of cotton, especially such as will tend to show the progress of its various branches, both at home and abroad, and have the same incorporated into the eet re tary'e annual report. 3. The Committee on Machinery shall inves? tigate new inventions and improvements relat? ing to the manufacture of cotton fabrics, and report thereon to the government. 4. The Committee on Raw Materials shall take into consideration the origin and extent of the various raw materials used by the cotton manufacturers of the United States, especially the supply and consumption of cotton, the amount and character of the home growth, and the means best calculated to increase ana diversify it, and report tho results of their in? vestigations to the government On the adoption of the constitution a com? mittee of seventeen was appointed to make nominations of officers for permanent organi? zation, and the convention adjourned until half-past seven o'clock.

The following resolution was then submitted and adopted: Resolved, That the government shall, in its discretion, add from ten to twenty names to the list of directors, so as to include, if possi? ble, a representative from each State. After the adoption of the last resolution the Convention adjourned eine die. The business of both sessions was character? ized by a degree of earnestness worthy of the object for wnich the delegates were drawn hither. The remedying of existing evils in the shipment of cotton, the development of South? ern resources rn manufacturing cotton goods, the cultivation of friendly feelings and mutual interests between planters and manufacturers, and the effect which such accomplishment would exercise on the commercial prosperity of the nation, were incidentally alluded to. The planters and manufacturers each had a mutual interest to advance, and both pledged them? selves to the carrying out of the plans for the formation of an association which, it was con? tended, could not fail in securing to the con? sumer as well as to the producer beneficial re? sults not heretofore enjoyed. POLITICAL GOSSIP. WHAT THE HEW TOBE DEM COATS ABE GOING TO DO ABOUT THE PBESIDENTIAL NOMINATION-A COMFBOMISE PROBABLE. The New York correspondent of the Phila? delphia Ledger writes under date of the 28th ultimo: The Manhattan (Fifth Avenue) Club, as yon are aware, is the leading Democratic organiza? tion in this city, the wealth and social position of most of its members impartine to it an in? fluence and an importance to which the Tam? many Hall had scarcely a claim. This club, within a few evenings past, it is worth while saying, has been attentively canvassing the Sjbable result of the Democratic National nvention, which is to bo in some sense their guests, in the course of a few weeks. Though I am not at liberty to deal with de? tails, no confidences are violated in saving that, after a survey of the whole' field, and with a thorough acquaintance with the feelings and wishes of the leading men of the party, at the beat, the club has come to the conclusion that it win be impossible for the convention to agree either upon Mr. Pendleton or Governor Seymour, though there will be a hot prelimi? nary struggle by the adherents of each for the mastery. Hancock's name, it is believed, will then be brought forward; bot as there are objections to bim which the club do not believe can be over? come, he will receive a complimentary vote, and then be put aside in order that the follow? ing may be agreed to as the compromise which ie finally to prevail : For EreeldonL. RnnaLw , H?udrL?J(B. Of Indi*??; for YKe-Pres?dent, GOV. 1 English, of. Connecticut. With the settled conviction that this is to be the programme, the Manhattan Club is now going to work, though it is admitted that there may be a slip up on English in favor of John T. Hoffman, of New York, if the friends of the latter can be induced to relinquish the Gov? ernorship, which they are keeping in reserve for him. On Thursday evening his Honor the Mayor will preside at a meeting of the Cooper Insti? tute. The New York Sun, of the 30th nit., says: A meeting of distinguished military gentle? men, who claim to be attached to the Demo? cratic party, was held at the Fifth Avenue Ho? tel lase evening, for the purpose of promoting the nomination of General Hancock as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency. This they regard as the only sure means of defeating General Grant and securing a Democratic triumph. The chair was occu? pied by Major-General Gordon Granger, who distinguished himself at Chickamauga, and is at the head of the executive committee ap? pointed by the celebrated convention which met at Cleveland tn 1866. It wa? determined that a national convention of Democratic soldiers and sailors, excluding those whe fought on the Con? federate side, should be held in this city, if pos? sible, on the same day with the regular nation? al convention of the Democratic party. It was the unanimous opinion, however, that the fourth of July will be too late for this conven? tion, inasmuch as General 3rant will be nomi? nated on the 20th of May, and his supporters will thus have more than sh weeks start in the campaign. A committee, cf which Brigadier General Halpine is the chairman, was appoint? ed to wait upon the national executive commit? tee of the Democratic part}, to got the Demo? cratic convention called sometime about tho first of June; it was also agreed that an address to the Democratic soldien and sailors should be prepared and published, calling upon them to vote the straight ticket. MOVEMENT TO CALL THE DEMOCBATIO NATIONAL OONVHNTION EABL? IN JUNE. A Washington dispatch ?f the 28th ult., to the New York Herald, Bays : The Congressional Democratic Executive Committee nave unanimously passed resolu? tions requesting the Democratic National Com? mittee to reconsider their rrevious aotion and issue a call for the Presicential Nominating Convention to meet in New York early m June, instead of on the fourth of July, as now ar? ranged for. It is probable ?hat a congressional caucus of all the Democratic members will shortly be called for the purpose of making the same request. The feding appears to be unanimous that the day of meeting now fixed is too distant, and that the political necessities and welfare of the party require an earlier period for the declaration of principles and nomination of candidates. VIEWS OF A FBOMLNENT ?ETTJBLICAN IN BE? GABT) TO THE ABKANSAS AND SOUTH CARO? LINA SENATOB8. In his last letter to his ptper, the Cincinna ti Commercial, Mr. Halstead lays : Do we want any more roten borough Stales in the Union? Could anything be more fatal I to our perpetual public conant and good order than the admission of such States ? We have enough of them now. Nerada and Nebraska, that should yet for years hive been territories, are as weighty in that Senate that* proposes to rule the nation as New York and Ohio. Now, there is no reason to beliwe that the persons presenting themselves her? as senators of the United States from Arkansis and South Caro? lina represent even the neg:oes of those States. Tbey are adventurers, representative of little more than their own audicity; and they will become, if permitted to erter the Senate, the most abject ?f party serif, because they will have no possible vitality outside their party.

JAMES TUPPER. February 18_tu20 W8AB8APABniIAN.-PABEIBA.-NEW LY discovered Virtues-Hidden for over 300 years the discovery of the True Virtues of the Roots Brought to light and made manifest in DR. RAD W Al" S SARSAP ARI LL IAN RESOLVENT, by a new process r???uy aiacuverefl by Dr. Baa way, for obtaining the active properties from vege? table substances. S ARS AP A RILLI AN, PARETHA BBAVA, Associated with other newly discovered roots, en ten, into the composition of BAD WAY'S RENOVA? TING RESOLVENT; secures a remedial agent, that cures all forms of Chronic, Scrofulous, Skin, Glandu? lar, Kidney, Bladder and Uterine Diseases, by com? municating its curative, reparative and fruitful effi? cacy, through the Blood, Sweat and Urine. The ordinary SarsapariUian decoctions and Sy? rups are mere washes, compared with the Sarsaparil lian of the Resolvent It is a weU known fact that Sarsaparilla as ordinarily prepared either as offici naiiy or as a proprietary remedy, never possessed the confidence of medical men, and aU the r?puta? tion it enjoyed was deemed by well Informed Chem? ists, Physicians and medical writers to be due to other remedial agents associated with it The true curative virtues sf Sarsaparilla for three hundred years has laid hidden in the cryataline prin? ciple of the root Under Dr. Rad way'a new process, S AR SAP ARILLI AN ls secured and brought to light, and associated with other Ingredients, lt fulfils the most extravagant expectations and views of men. One ounce of Dr. Radway's SarsapariUian contains more of the curative principle than ten pounds of | the extracts from the crude roots, as prepared offlcl nally or In the popular advertised Sarsaparillas. PAR EERA BRAVA-Another of the ingredients of the Radway's Resolvent held in high estimation by .he most eminent medical men of Europe, South America and United States, as the best remedial agent for the diseases of the Kidneys, Bladder, Ute? rus, and as a lithontriptic for dissolving Calculi, as a curative tor Jaundice,Rhen uiatlam, Leucorrboa, &c, since 1688 has never been properly prepared. Under Dr. Radway's process the cisampallne principle of | this valuable root is secured, and, associated with SarsapariUian and other ingredients in the Resol? vent makes lt a perfect cure in every form of dis? ease of the Eidneys, Bia Mer and Urinary Organs Dropsy, Gravel, Incontinence, or Stoppage of Wa? ter, Diabetes, or Urinary Diarrhoeas, and every Mud of weakening, irritating or purulent discharges, net proper to mention in an advertisement ls. rapidly cured by this remedy. So quick does the Resolvent enter into the circu? lation, that it may be detected In the urine In ten minutes ofter it has been taken. In many cases it has secured a free discharge of water-in cases where catheters were formerly used. Is not this a blessing ? BUCHU, Turpentine Junipers, Gin, Copaiba, Cu bebs, and other distinct Diuretics, are In many cases hurtful. In Diabetes, Urinary Diarrhoeas, Catarrh of the Bladder, Dropsy, and in weakness or ulcera? tion of the Kidneys, are unsafe to use as a continued remedy, and should never be given unless under the supervision of a physician, as the strain these direct remedies may produce on the Kidneys may, m the course of a few hours, require opiates, to change or modify their action; this fact is self-evident to any medical man. A compensating remedy like the SAB SAPARILLIAN RESOLVENT, is the true remedy to use in these case?-even as a diuretic. PAREIR A BBAVA, as prepared by Dr. Rodway, and one of the ingre? dients of the Resolvent, is as superior to aU forms of J Buchu, Ac, as rich cream is to watered milk. Let all suffering from unnatural drains from the system-caused either by self-abuse, depraved habit of body, bad blood, impure association, weak? ness of the genital organs, or Skin Diseases, Scroi ula, uncured Secondary Disease, Syphiloid Ulcers, Chronic Disease, or from Consumption of the Lungs, as well as degeneration of the Kidneys, or Chronic Disease of the Liver, Spleen, Ac, commence at once the use ot tae S AP. s AP ARIEL I AN RESOLVENT. It commences its work of purification at once; it re-' pairs ?ie waste of the body with new and healthful material. It restores functional harmony to every organ In the system, and secures the natural secre? tions of the proper constituents of each. Persons have been cured, and have children now living that were deemed incapacitated, by self-abuse, bc, through the use of this remedy. Ask for Dr. RAD? WAY'S SABSAPARILLTAN, or RENOVATING RE? SOLVENT. Price: $1 per bottle, or six bottles for $6. May 2 nae 6 | Ctot?jing anb /armselig ?Dirts. WHOLESALE AND BETAIL. CLOSING OUT SALE OF TEE SEASON.
