EUROPE. THE IRISH CHURCH QUESTION-DEBATE Hi'THE HOUSE OF COMMONS-OBEAT SPEECH OF JOHN BRIGHT. 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 the Boyal 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. m Mr. Edward Miall (Liberal member from Bradford) also supported the hill in a speech of considerable length, and wus followed by the Right Hon.Stafford Northcote in opposition. John Bright then delivered a long and able speech in favor of the measure. Tho Estab? lished Church of England had the assent of a large majority of tho 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 opiuiou of the civilized world was hos? tile to this measure, as had Deen stated. Ho re? viewed the opinions of the statesmen on the question, and quoted Lord Stanley's remark, that Ireland was the question of the hour. He referred to the conduct of Lord Mayo while Lord-Lieuten int of Ireland, and the position of other Tories, to show that that party had no policy ou tho Irish question. The bill now be? fore the House, ho continued, was acceptable to the masses of the people of Ireland, Catho? lics and Protestants as well, and was almost universally approved by the people of England. As had before been stated here, the Establish? ed Church of Ireland waa a "badge of con? quest." Conservatives of the future would view tho attitude of the present Conservatives on this queatijn with surprise. Ho quoted Cavoui's work on Ireland, where that author shows that tho Established Church promotes disaffection and animosities in that country, and oauses the peasantry to be in a worse con? dition than the slaves of tho Antilles, and that the Irish wore continually protesting against it. The speaker then contrasted tho position of the church in England. England's liberties, ho said, were not secured by the churches, but by the Puritans and non-con? formists. Nations never forget their religious grievances until the cause is removed. Tho old policy pursued by England rendered lie laud more ultra-montane than any country in Europe. Catholicism was not only a matter of faith, but of patriotism, for whioh the Irish wore ready to suffer or die if need be. Since the union disturbances have been continued, Protestantism was the only fire that was des? troying everything that was noble and good in Ireland, resulting in the absolute dia pearanoe of peace and loyalty. The Irish? man who had emigrated to the United ?tatos and Australia was watching anxiously the result ot this groat question. The entire Fenian project was fed and kopt 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 Irelaod, not for fear of foreign enemies, but for the sake of internal peace and tranquillity. Ho contemplated the voluntary system prevailing in Scotland, ind anticipated the best resulta to posterity for Irelaod if ibis bill bocamo a law. Mr. Bright concluded hy saying that this measure would have tho approv.il ot the Supremo. Being, for it WAS founded on principles of morey and jus? tice-"the attributes of His glorious reign." ram REORGANIZATION OF TEX FRENCH A S MT. PABIS, Mardi 21.-In the Corps Legistlf yes? terday Marshal Neil, Minister of War, urged the tompletidn of the reorganization of the army.

WASHINGTON, Marou. 28.-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 newest and most fashionable color is a delicate buff. Tho other fashionable colors are green, absinthe and caronbier, a rich ruby tint. The new bonnets are elaborately trimmed. The profusion of lao?, flowers and tr ailing'vines | is such that thc bonnet cannot bo seen. Grasses are also much used in trimming, and there has never been a. finer display of beautiful flowers than now. ?. The bonnets are very small, drooping npon the forehead and elevated at the back above the bair, which is worn high. Tbev are un? like tee. pre tty Panch?n, which drooped back? ward and was not profusely trimmed. The Hofelo and Watteau' are entirely new styles of bonnet, and the new styles of round hat are "L'ltalienue" and "LaPerichole," after the Spanish singer of that name, who was the first to wear this shape; ; i ! ? A pretty bonnet ol' the Watteau shape, which rests low upon the forehead, is composed of wheat, a cluster of roses, loops of green satin ribbon, and two trailing vinos falling over a lace veil at the 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 ot rich Chantilly lace. Another, of the same shape, has folds and bows of straw-colored crape in front, and a cluster ot' wheat and poppies at the bask. A beautiful bonnet has several sprays of cle? matis resting upon a pun'of blonde in front, and wide blonde edging is plaited in form of a sholl at the back. The white ribbon strings aro finished at the ends by wide blonde being fulled on, headed by sprays of clematis. An elegant bridal hat has white satin folds around the edge; a beautiful- cluster of white flowers, with a passion flower in the centre; puffings of laoe at the back, from which falls a rich white lace veil, and over tho veil vinos of half-opened passion flowers with green leaves. A round hat of white straw has a wreath of hawthorne leaves and berries in front, Chantil? ly laco lulled around the ba?k and joined to the wreath at each s ide by tosettes or narrow velvet ribbon. A pretty bonnet is made of a fluting of black lace upon the edge, a puff of bluo satin, a wreath of rosebuds resting on fine black feathers, and a white aigrette, and the end of the strings are edged with feathers and roses. A white chip has a wreath of loco around it, with three daisies made of sparkling jet in front, black aigrette and a bow of flame-color? ed ribbon. Bound hats with very wide brims will be in voguo this season tor the seaside, watering places and country wear. Leghorn hats with wide brims will be fashionable, trimmed with a wreath of pink roaos,and long white tulle scarf, like one worn by the Empress Eugenie. THE MOVEMENT PVR CUE A. Confirming the intelligence already given to the readers of THE NEWS in regard to the movements in thia country in aid cf the Cuban revolution, the New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger write? : It ia no secret now that within the fortnight East large quantities of arma and ammunition ave boen sent from this port, ostensibly to Inagua, but really td certain points in Cuba* under control of the insurgents. Perhaps it would be unjust to impute to the customhouse andother Federal authorities foll knowledge of their real destination, bnt certain it is, none of thom went out of their way to inform themselves. nv i The Spanish Consul, it may be added, has been in communication, with the representa? tive of his government at Washington, not only with reference' to ' the shipments above mentioned, but to o'.hor vessels which he has reason to believe are fitting ont here on a like errand. They do say also that there are de? tectives here in the interest ot the Spanish Government commissioned to watch sharply all suspicious passengers going team here cn the Havana steamers. -The Pall Matt Gazette gi ree publicity to a prospectus which it ia likely the proprietors of the proposed periodical preferred to keep out of the public prints. It is only a natural ooose 2uenoo, howevor, of the prevailing custom in ngland, of purchasing and soiling ready-made sermons. It is a plan for publishing privately a weekly magasine containing two sermons suit abie to the occasion, at a shilling a copy. The advantage of the system over the usual ono of selling lithographed sermons, which are liable to be used by several preacher? at different times, and thus expose their mercenary origin, small coat and the secrecy with which it could bo conveyed through the mails, are dwelt upon at some length. There would seem to be no reason why the Cathedra, as this new periodi? cal ls to be called, should not be successful, Thc morality of the praotloe does not appear to be questioned, as the prospectus remarks i "There can be ho objection to delivering print? ed sermons beyond the simple one that when KubUshed In the usual way they are supplied > laity as well as olergy, and by that maana may possibly bs diffused among a Congrega? tion before they arc hoard from the pulpit." G OSSI V JTM OM JLIIR O AD. -The Prussians are now catting down the trees in the public promenades at Mentz, just as if they wow? on the brink of war, and it is reported from well informed partios that they are working -day and night in their arsenals.

The Tennrc-of-omcc Act - Butler au Ol I He nc nc lt - When Thieve* Fall Out - Offlee-Scekers ?md General Grant-Tl?? MlMlon to Mexico. The Washington correspondent qf the Balti? more Gazette writes under date bf the 21st instant : At tho risk of being considered prolix, it is neoessary again to refer to the'Tennre-pf office act. lt is the topic, excluding all others, discussed in political circles here to-day. Borne Conservatives deem it best, even in a party sense, to get rid of the law altogether-by re ni<? i n.t. ouce-supposing it out of the question for the Radical party to have tho effrontery to offer to re-enaot it in case of their foss of the Executive three years henoe 1 ^n hope 1 The Senate is sure to be then Radical; Grant will be at that time in office and quite aa Will? ing to favor its re-enaotmeut os he was to push through the original bill, and ciandostmely enferoe its provisions (as in the ea ne-of Stan? ton. ) By hook and by orook the Radicals may also have a majority in the House. Upon this particular point the Washington Sunday Her? ald contains a short article this morning,which I append. The Herald is an appendage of the Intelligencer, and the article was written hy the leading editor of the latter. A decided change has taken place in regard to this mat? ter in> the minds of prominent Conservatives here during the past twenty-four hours 1 lam fully aware that Conservative senators look upon the law as it stands an'urcoustitu- j tional, and if they vote at ill would probably as ?ot vote for a direct proposition tb repeal it. t is suggested, however, that the decision of the Senate, aa comprehended in its repeal, will in no wise affect the constitutional ques? tion. ' That the gist of the matter lies in the faet that the whole question is a judicial ono, and not to be Bottled, one way or the other, by Congress. No President untrammelled by Radical and revolutionary influences would J regard U for an instant as binding upon him. Ou? way for Grant to rid himself ot his fetters is to appeal to the courte. When the people shall have returned to their sepses, not only this law, bat the series of " reconstruction acts" so-called, and hundreds Cf other diaboli? cal acts of Congress passed daring tho last eight years, will be swept out of existence as so many cobwebs, or pass out ot operation into instantaneous and quiet nonentity, as not wor? thy even to pester tho Supreme Court with, as Mr. Jefferson totally ignored thc very being of alien and sedition acts. It is now reduced to a certainty that if the Tenure-of-offieo act is re? pealed, it will be done by Conservative votes. Conservative senators should therefore pause before intermeddling in this matter. There is no principle involved in the action of tho Sen? ate at all, tor the plain reason 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 Schonck's "ins and outs." I am told that his revelations will be delectable. Unlike the Irishman's wife who felt an interest in the tussle between her husband and the bear. I cannot help taking sides in all great squabbles of this kind. In the present emergency I am on the bear's side (that is,' tho Beast's), aud hope no weak-kneed Conservative newspaper wiO vociferously endeavor to get up a sympa? thy for slcbenok by crying ont, "fair "play," "hands off," "fair trial," aud such like neutral stuff. General Butler, let me tell all such peo- I Ele. is no political hermaphrodite, and having ad recently "a very full swing;''as the Intelli ?oncer remarks, "in telegraph . offices and at auks," it is supposed that Ins threats of expo? sure of rotten public men have a basis other than idle gossip. Butler evidently intends to turn "informer" on a gigantic scale. The office-seekers here are put to their trumps for terms ot adulation of the new Pres? ident.

Jaowevar, Grant turned to the window at hil righi, rawed it, flung out. and thus sacrificed two-thirds of his Designio on the altar of politeness ! 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 cigar ; yet in this Uttle incident.tbe gentleman spontaneously breaks out in the conqueror." Your readers will doubtless be surprised to learn that George Wilkes, the great umpire of the "Sporting Ring," will probably be our Min? ister to Mexico. SQ says the organ of Grant, as follows : * It is generally believed that the Mexioan mission has been tendered, or will be tendered to Major-General Daniel E. Siokles. Should he decline the mission a strong effort will be made to induce the. appointment of George Wilkes, Esq., of tho Now Yoik Spirit of the Timba." , . X. [From the Washington Herald of the 3 let Instant ] The Radical senators that propose, upon Executive men ice, to repeal the Tenure-of office act, db so*, not upon considerations of principle or deference to law or just policy, or from contrition for tho perpetration of a great wrong. With them tho point is simply one of party convenience in the respect of friends that should be rewarded and enemies that should be punished. And the enemies are not Demo cra s, for air. Johnson declined for a long period back to appoint snob, because they could not bo confirmed. They are Republi? cans who, in ene wvy or another, may have fallen short, m the estimate of the fiery dra? gon ot fanatical rage and hate, of the full measure Of a seething hot partisanship. lu this aspect, of the case, the issue is not ono of repoaling the law for thc purpose of car Sing out thc principio, "to the victor belongs e spoils," but rather, ns was once expressed by Governor Marcy, " pillaging their own camp." It is an intestine family war. ! Therefore, we ask, should Conservativo or Democratic s on atora interfere in what ls in issue, upon no consideration of principle, by the Radical senators, who desire to propitiate Executive regard or favor, but simply for the purpose of snooting a feathering of their own nests in what they term tho Interests of the Republic in party? So considered, why may not the latter settle the thing among them? selves t Suppose the law repealed by the votes of Democratic Senators, and the next Presiden? tial election should result in the election of a Democrat., would not both the Senate and House make bot haste to restore the obnoxious law? Certainly they would.
