LONDON, March 20.-Gladstone's bill, "to put an end to the establishment of the Church of Ireland, and to make provision in respect of the temporalities thereof, and in respect of tho Beyal College of Maynooth," came up in the House of Commons last evening, and was de? bated at great length. Sir John Gray (Liberal member from Kil? kenny) regarded the Established Church in Ireland as a badge of conquest, and asserted that it must be abolished. Mr. Edgard Mull (Liberal member from Bradford) also supported the bill in a speech of considerable length, and was followed by the Right Hon.stafford Northcote in opposition. John Bri ;ht then delivered a long and able speech in favor of the measure. The Estab? lished Church of England had the assent of a large majority of the people of England, but the question was, whether that church was good also for the people of Ireland. The oppo? nents of this bill had utterly failed to prove that the opinion of the civilized world was hos? tile to this measure, as had oeen stated. He re? viewed the opinions of the statesmen on the question, and quoted Lord Stanley's icm ark, that Ireland vras the question of the hour. He refjrrred to the conduct of Lord Mayo while Lord?Lieuten int of Ireland, and the position of other Torios, to show that that party had no policy on the Irish question. The bill now be? fore the House, ho continued, was acceptable to the masses of the people of Ireland, Catho1 lies and Protestants as well, and was almost universally approved by the people of England. As had before been stated here, the Lstablish - ed Church of Irelaud was a "badg^ of con? quest.'' Conservatives of tho futuro would view the attitude of the present Conservatives on this question > itu. "surpris?. Ho- quoted Cavour's work on Ireland, where that author shows that the Established Church promotes disaffection and animosities iu that country, and ?ti-iBos the poas?.:ttry to be in a worse con? dition than the slaves of tho Antilles, and that tho Irish wore continually protesting against it. The speaker then contrasted the position of the church >n England. England's liberties, he said, were not secured by the churches, but by the Puritans andnon-cou formista. Nations never forget their religious grievances until the causo is removod. The old policy pursued by flngland rendered Ire? land more ultra-montane than any country in Europe. Catholicism was not only a matter of faith, but of patriotism, for which the Irish were ready to suffor or die if need be. Sines the union disturbances liave been continued, Protestantism was the only fire that was des? troying everything that was noble and good in ?ireland, resulting in the absoluto dis pearance of peace and loyalty. The Irish? mau who had emigrated to the United States and Australia was watching anxiously the result ot this greatque3tion. The entire Fenian project was fed and kept alive by the sympathy of Americans, under the idea that England never did justice to Ireland. There were no bitterer foes to England in the United States than the Irishmen. The House was now asked to do justice to Irelaud, not for fear of foreign enemies, but for tho sake of internal peace and tranquillity. He contemplated tho voluntary system prevailing in Scotland, and anticipated the best results to posterity for Ireland if this bill became a law. Mr. Bright conoluded by saying that this measure would have the approval of the Supremo Being, for it was founded on principles of mercy and jus? tice-"the attributes of His glorious reign." THE REORGANIZATION OF THE FRENCH ARMY. PARIS, March 21.-In the Corps Legistif yes? terday Marshal Neil, Minister of War, urged the completion of the reorganization of tho army. Peace, he said, was secure, but France would not tolerate a government which was not folly prepare 1 to avenge an insult if offered. The budget report considers the pres? ent situation of Europe as eminently peaceful.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-IN THE HOUSE, a memorial from citizens of Kentucky was pre? sented, protesting against the removal of polit? ical disabilities, and praying the enforcement of the Fourteenth article. The bill removing the charge o ? desertion from certain North Carolina mounted infantry was passed. Butler announced his intention to introduce a bill to remove disabilities ftom every man now loyal to the Union, regardless of past offences, and did not think they could have reconstruction on any other bisis.

The newest and most fashionable color is a delicate buff. The other fashionable colors are green, absinthe and caroubier, a rion raby tint. The new bonnets are elaborately trimmed. Tbe profusion of lace, Howers and trailing vines .is such that tho bonnet cannot bo sem. Grasses are also much used in trimming, and there has never been a finer display of beautiful flowers than now. BONNETS. The bonnets are very small, drooping upon th? forehead and elevated at the back above th? bair, which ?B worn high. They are un? like I he pretty Fanchon, which drooped back? ward and waa not profusely trimmed. The Hotelo auu Watteau are entirely new styles of bonnet, and the new styles of round hat are "L'Italienne" and "LaPerichole,"aftor the Spanish singer of that name, who was the first to wear this shape. A pretty bonnet ol (he Watteau shape, which rests low upon the forehead, is composed of wheat, a cluster of roses, loops of green satin ribbon, and two trailing vines falling over a lace veil at tho back. A Hofele shape, of fine Belgian straw, has a wreath of blue bows across both the front and centre, with a bouquet of roses, bluets and sprays of wheat, with a fall of rich Chantilly lace. Another, of the same sbape, has folds and bows of straw-colored enpe in front, and a cluster ot' wheat and poppies at the baek. A beautiful bonnet has several sprays of cle? matis resting upon a pu tl'of blonde in front, ?nd wide blonde edging is plaited in form of a shell at the back.

Leghorn hats with wide brims will bo fashionable, trimmed with a wreath of pink roses,and long white tulle scarf, Uko one worn by the Empress Eugenie. THE MOVEMENT FOR CUR A. Confirming the int- Uigenco already given to the readers of THE Ii EWS in regard to the movements in this country in aid cf the Cuban revolution, the New Yorkcorrespanderii of the Philadelphia Ledger writes : It is no secret now that within the fortnight past large quantities of arms and ammunition have been sent from this port, ostensibly to Inagua, but really to certain points in Cuba, under control of the insurgents. Perhaps it would be unjust to impute to the customhouse and other Federal authorities full knowledge of their real destination, but certain it is, noDe of them went out of their way to inform themselves. Thc Spanish Consul, it may bo addod, bas been in co-?niunication with the repiesenta ttve of bis government at Washington, not only with refereuoe to tho shipments abovo mentioned, but to o her vessels which he bu reason to believe are titting out here on a like errand. They do say also that there aro de? tectives here in tho intarest ot the spanish Govc-nment commissioned to watch sharply all suspicious passengers going from here on the Havana steamers. -The Pall Mall Gazette gives publicity to a prospoctus which it is likely the proprietors of the propoaed periodical preferred to keep put of the public prints. It is only a natural crtise quence, however, of the prevailing custom in England, of purchasing and selling ready-mado Bannons, lt is a plan for publishing privately a weekly magazine containing two sermons suit able tb the occasion, at a stilling a copy. The advautagc of the system over the usual one of selling lithographed sermons, which are liable te bc used by several preachers at different times, and thus expose their mercenary origin, small coat an 1 the secrecy with whic'.i it could .o convoyed through tho "maila, are dwolt upon at 8omo length. Tiioro would socui to bo no reason why the Cathedra, as this new periodi? cal is to bo called, should not be successful. Thc morality of the practico does not appear to be questioned, us tho prospectus remarks : "Tiicro can be no objection tu delivering print? ed sermons bc\ oad the simple one thai when published in the usual way thev aro supplied to laity as well as clergy, "and by that means rutty possibly be diffused among a CorfcTCga tiou before they arc heard from the pulpit." GOSSIP FROM ARROAJ>. -The Prussians are now catting down the "trees in the public promenades at Mentz, just as if they were on the brink of war, and it ie reported from well informed parties that they are working day and night in their arsenals. It appears that they do not feel quite comfort? able about Austria recovering strength and France being well armed and provided. -All the paintings from the Louvre which had been sent to private persons, mostly favor? ites of the imperial family, have boen eent back to the Louvre, and M. de Nieuwcrkerke, the Inspector-General of the Imperial Art Galle? ries, now announces in a card that these paint? ings shall be exhibited in a special hall, "so that the public may no longer be deprived of them." This is one of the few triumphs which public opinion has recently achieved in France. -The University boat race in England has for the ninth time in succession been won by Oxford. The contest is a matter of absorbing interest to every man, woman and child in Great Britain, and the prospects of the two crews were the subject of ceaseless conjec? tures during the week preceding the race. The Cambridge men were deeply impressed with the disgrace of eight successive annual de? feats, and even employed the Oxford profes? sional trainer, but to no avail. . -Tho Jews of Hungaiy and Transylvania are making a bold and nnitcd effort to procure an improvement of their rights and privileges with regard to the practice of the; gion. These- people number 775,000, and they are formed in regular dis'ricts. They ask the lib? erty of educating their children and conduct? ing their ceremonials of worship with the free? dom accorded to others. They have held one congress, the results of whose deliberations have been presented to the King, and will hold another soon. It will' consist of eighty-six of their highest intellects. -A singular instance of the absurdities of charitable bequests is furnished in London, where some hundred years ago some good old souHeft a house and garden in .the city as a perpetual maintenance for three poor women and a cat. The property is now worth ?10,000 a year. Three poor women and their cat friends of the trustees-are maintained; and the rest of the income, ?39,650 per annum, is expended in salaries on uncles, aunts, cousins, appointed as seeret&iies, treasurers, chaplains, visitors, &c., who see to the proper distribu? tion of alms, catechise the old women, and stroke the cat. -It is stated that the interest of Victor Hu? go's new story, "L'Homme Qui Rit," turns in a great measure on the fiendish practice of a secret society that existed in Europe near the close of the seventeenth century, and had for its object the maiming and mutilation of chil? dren. The miscreants of this body were known as tho C'omprachicos, or "robbers of infante1 nests," and it was their habit to take children from unnatural parents, or steal them when opportunity offered, and either for purposos of state, of family intrigue, or for tho uses of professional mendicancy, to distort and dis? figure them past all recognition or hope of fu? ture benefit -The Parisians display great ingenuity in showing their political opinions without un? pleasant consequences to themselves. On a recent occasion on J of tho "Conferences" now so much the fashion, was held at tho Theatre de l'Ambigu-Comique, on tho "Phenomena of Light,*' a subjo^t, one would have thought, about as unpolitical as could well have been chosan. The lecturer, in order to demonstratio certain theorios, proceeded to enlarge some photographs of celebrated persons. This be? ing doue by means of a strong magnesium light, all tho theatre, except iu the immediate neighborhood of the operator, was in almost total darknes-s. The audience could be heard, not soon. Tba portrait of tho Emperor was received with u storm of hisses and cries of "A la pori?" ? Tine la R?publique?' "Il s'en ira bienlol /*' &t. That of tin- ?npi'csa met with a worse reception, if posoiole, than her husband's. On tho other hand, tho portrait of Maximilian was received with cheers and cries of "Qui ra trahi ?" Maximilian, as a bystander remarked, probably owed hie popularity to the fact of his having been shot. Thc opera? tor, like a prudent mau, soon brought his ex? periments to an end; and when tho gas was turned on, tho "agents" were very busy look? ing about; but of course, every one looked in? tensely loyal. -For many years tho standing butt of the Continental journalists has been thc Princo of Monaco, the impecunious potentate of a ten aero principality on the margin of tho Medi? terranean, through which passes tho pictur? esque Corniche roid from Nice to Genoa. Luring thc war in tho Crimea thc Pi i ncc was represented as having been callee1 upon by tho Allied Powers lo send a coniMgent of twelve mon and a drumstick to the field of mili? tary operations, and at other times ho was an? nounced as having arrived in Paris for tho pur? pose of negotiating a temporary loan with the Rothschilds, ot two hundred and fifty francs. But times have changed. The Prince at this moment is in the easiest circumstances of auy monarch iu Europe.' Ho bas just abashed all taxes throughout the five or ?ix square miles, be thc same more or lese, of his happy domin? ions. This Utopian result of carrying ou a government without taxation has not boen duo to any extraordinary increase iu tho produc? tions of Mouaco, which chiefly consist in olives andinaccaroni; nor is it to be attributed to any Camden and Amboy Railroad passing across the little territory. Tb? Fortunntus' purse of hie Highness is replenished by tho" gotnb'ing tables of his small capital, and tho money is won from travelling Russians, Fronobmen and Englishmen, upon whom the Prince can now fairly turn the laugh. -According to au old tradition of the village of Biddcudeu, iu tho middle of Koot, England, thc Siamese twins arc not tho only known ex? ample of such a union. Early in tho twelfth ceutury, it is said, there lived iu that parish two sisters, Eliza and Mary Chulkhurst, who from their hirth were joiuod together by a double ligature, at the shoulders and at the hips. "Tue Biddcndeu Maids," it 13 said, wcro born in tho year 1100, and lived in this/"twiu sbip" for just thirty-fonr years, whoa one of them was taken ill and in a short time died. The survivor was advised to allow herself to be separated from tho body of her deceased sister by dissecting the ligaments, but she absolute refused to permit the severance to bc made, saying, "As we enme into tho world together, so wo will leave it together." In about six hours afterwards she too was taken ill, and died also. Tho memory of those "Maids of Biddendcn" no doubt would have died out long ago if it had not been for thc lac', that by their will they bequeathed to the churchwardens of their native parish certain pieces or parcels of ?iud in Biddeuden, and that every Easter Sun? day, at the end of tho afternoon service, there are given away to all persons who are pr gent at thc church norna little rolls or rather cakes, stamped with an impression of their portraits, while the poor parishioners are regaled with some three' hundred quartern loaves and cheese in proportion. FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. The Ti-n ure-of-Office Act -Butler and Sehe nc lt - When Th i even Pall Out - Office-Scekcrs and General Grant-The Mission to Mexico. The Washington correspondent of tho Balti? more Gazette writes under dato of the 21st instant : At the risk of being considered prolix, it is necessary again to refer to the Tenure-of office act. lt is the topic, excluding all others, discussed jn political circles here to-day. Some Conservatives doem it best, even in a party sense, to get rid of the law altogether-by re oeal at once-supposing it out of the question for the Radical parcy to have the effrontery to offer tb re-enact it in case of their loss of the Executive three years hence I Vain hope 1 The Senate is sure to be then Radical; Grant will bc at that time in office and quite as will? ing to favor its re-enactment as he was to push through ths original bill, and clandestinely enforce its prc isions (as m the oase of Stan? ton.) By hook and by crook the Radicals may also have a majority in the Honae. Upon this particular point the Washington Sunday Her? ald contains a short article this morning,which I append. The Herald is ap appendage of the Intelligencer, and the article was written bv the leading editor of the latter. A deoided change has taken place in regard to this mat? ter in the minds of ?prominent Conservatives here during the past twenty-four hours I i I am fully aware that Conservative senators look upon the law as it stands as unconstitu? tional, and if they vote at ill would probably as ?et vote for a direct proposition to repeal it. t is suggested, however, that the decision of the Senate, as comprehended in its repeal, will in no wise affect the constitutional ques? tion. That the gist of the matter lies in the fact that (he whole question ie a judicial one, and not to be settled, one way or the other, by Congress. No President untrammelled by Radical and revolutionary influences would regard it for an instant as binding upon him. One way for Grant to rid himself ot his fetters is to appeal to (he courts. When the people shall have returned to their senses, not only this law, bot the series of " reconstruction acts" so-called, and hundreds of other diaboli? cal acts of Congress passed daring the last eight years, will be swept out of existence as BO many cobwebs, or pass ont ol operation into instantaneous and quiet nonentity, as not wor? thy even to pester the Supreme Court with, as Mr. Jefferson totally ignored the very being of alien and sedition acts. It is now reduced to a certainty that if the Tenure-of-offiee act is re? pealed, it will be done by Conservative votes. Conservative senators should thereforo pause before intermeddling in this matter. There is no principle involved in the action of the Sea ate at all,"tor the plain leasou that it will settle nothing, and manifestly cannot settle anything, be the vote for or against the continuance of the law. A few days ago the busy Butler promised to expose Schenck's "ins and outs." I am told that his revelations will be delectable. Unlike the Irishman's wife who felt an interest ia the tassie between her husband and the bear. I cannot help taking sides in all great squabbles of this kind. In the prosent emergency I am on the boar's sido (that is, the Beast's), and hope no weak-kneed Conservative newspaper will vociferously endeavor to get up a svmpa thy for Scbenck by crying out, "fair play," "hands off," "fair trial," and such like neutral stuff. General Butler, let me tell all such peo Sle. is no political hermaphrodite, and having ad recently "a very full swing," as the Intelli? gencer remarks, "in telegraph offices and at banks," it is supposed ihat his threats of expo? sure of rotten publiqfmen have a basis othor than idle gossip. Bu^er evidently intends to turn "informer" on a gigantic scalo. The office-seekers hero are put to their trumps for forms of adulation of the new Pres? ident. Witness an anecdote told by tho Chron? icle : Scene-a train about to start from Alex? andria South-cars tull-time 1864-a lady and twenty cpauletted gentry excluded-General Grant in a "special car" solus, smoking a cigar -thc outsiders are invited in : Jenkins "Without a moment's delay, however, Grant turned to the window at bis right, raised it, flung out, and thus sacrificed two-thirds of his Designio on the altar of politeness 1 Remem? ber this was his special oar, that smoking was allowed on that and every other military road; that Grant was then practically 'monarch of all he surveyed,' and had a right royal liking for a good o gar ; yet in this littleincident;the gentleman spontaneously breaks out in the conqueror." Your readers will doubtless be surprised to learn that George Wilkos, the great umpire of the "Sporting Ring," will probably be our Min? ister to Mexico. So says the organ ot Grant, as follows : 1 It is generally behoved that tho Mexican mission has ueeu tendered, or will bo tendered to .Major-General Daniel E. Sickles. Should be deciiuo tho mission a strong effort will be made to induce the appointment of aenrgo Wilkes, Esq., of tho Now York Spirit of the Times." X. (From thc Washington Herald of th? 'list instant : Thc Radioal senators that propose, upon Executive men ice, to repeal the Teuurc-of office act, do so, not upon considerations or principle or doferonco to law or just policy, or from contrition for tho perpetration of a great wrong. With them the point is simply one of party convenience in the respect ot friends that should bc rewarded and enemies that should be punished. And the enemies are not Deino cra ?, for Mr. Johnson declined for a long period back to appoint such, because they could not bo confirmed. They aro Republi? cans who, in ono w ty or another, may havo tallou short, in tho estimate of the fiery dra? gon ot fanatical ruge and hato, of tho full measure of a seething hot partisanship. In this aspect of tho cuso, tho issue is not ou J ul' repealing the law for the purpose of car? rying out thc principle, "to tho victor belongs tue spoils," but rather, ne wus cuco expressed by Governor Morey, " pillagiug their own camp." It is an intestine family war. Therefore, we ask, should Conservativo or Democratic souators interfere in what is in issue, upon no consid?ration of principio, by the Radical senators, who desire to propitiate Executive regard or favor, but simply tor the purpose of etlecting a feathering of their own nests in what they term tho interests of tho Republic in party? So considered, why may not the latter settle the thing among them? selves ? Suppose tho law repealod by tho votes of Democratic Sctiatora. and tho next Presiden? tial eleoliou should result in the election of a Democrat, would not both the Senate and House make hot baste to restore tho obnoxious law ? Certainly they would. What oise could be expected of a party that has contemned both law and right with unbridled license, and with seared couscieui-s? -The Mississippi papers contain the an? nouncement of the death of Colonel James Deane, a prominent man in that State.

O" WITHOUT A GOOD DIGESTION.-ALL other temporal blessings are comparatively worth? less. The dyspeptic nuUionalre who has tried all the potions of the medical profession in Tain, and belisvoe his complaint to be insurable, would rive hau* his fortune to be freed from the horrors of indigestion, and th as enabled to enjoy the other half. Of course he would. Perhaps HOBTETTIB'S STOMACH BITTERS has been recommended to such a Bufferer. Possibly he has ramed from the friend who made the sug? gestion with a sneer, mtir?ating that he has BO faith in any "patent medicine." If thia has been the ease, so arnon, the worse for him.. His inc re da ll ty dooms him to a life pf misery. All the luxuries wbioh wealth can purchase arc at his command. Not one of them can give him pleasure. His own h rat ion si'cbs tin sty is his bane. The masses, happily for themselves, are less skeptttal There is such a thing as bigoted un he? ll af, as well as bigoted credulity, and a golden mean between the two, which men and woman who are lifted with common sense adopt and profit hy.' These are the alasi that patronize and recommend H03TETTER'o BITTERS. Why de they apftrove this fatness anti-dyspeptic and anti-bllleas prap ora? tion ? Simply because they have not been too m uah the slave of senseless prejudice to give lt a fair trial, and have found that when all other tonics, stimulants and ito mash! sa failed, it predated the desired efl*o et. "Strike, but hear," s s id the Ronna sage, wi?a his Ignorant enemies were aasaihig him. "Doubt, but try," says the saan who has been sored of indi? gestion, or biliousness, or intermittent fever, by the Bitters, as he relates his experience of the medicine to his invalid friends. Whoever is so wedded to his own foregone theoretical con alus lons, as to d seline to test the properties of a medicine endorsed hythe testimony of intelligent men ia every walk of life, and approved by the people at large, deserves to suJEer. ?
