LONDON, Jane 15.-In the House ol Lords to-night, * great number of petitions against the Irish Church bill were presented Lord Cairne? gave notice of a que ?tion to ascertain if the government intended to endorse?the reunions contained in Mr. Bright's last letter. Lord Grey said he felt all the circumstances under which the bill was set t to this Home, bot *e urged tb? Ear! of Harrowby to recon? sider his motion for postponement, in view ot the consequences which might result should it 9>e carried. If the bill before them passed lt all it must bo materially amended. The .Bouse of Loria now bad, bat aright not here? after have, the power to amend. The result of she late elections was emphatically in favor of the bill ansi it would be imprudent for the Lords to suppose it. If they were BOC cess (ul for the mrment they would soon have it re? turned, and perhaps rn a nv re objectionable form. He< urged oonsideratio-j of the amend? meats in a fair and conciliatory spirit, and elrfortod the House to accept th? measure with dignity, and not incur the odium of the people vby collision ?with the House of Com? mons, wb/cb represented the deliberate opin? ion of the nation. The Archbishop of Dublin complained of the hard, ungenerous and illiberal maimer in which the Church was treated, and denounced the bill. He thought if it was necessary, it might have been less severe. The Bishop of St. Dairdo said the superior sanctity of proper*" waa not to he considered, but the b?st means to apply in view of the pab? ilo need. He' disapproved of the excessive demon? strations of Protestantism, and he said he valued its ascendancy, not as .it was politi- ' cal, tat as it-was moral and beneficial. He considered tke Irish Church an anomaly. It had failed to fulfil ita mission and promoted discord. He urged the passage of the bill to a second re ulmg, and afterwards the introduc? tion of amendments. The Dake of Richmond explained that though he felt the inj oatiee of the bill, after great hesitation he bad resolved to ut in op? position to his party. He was sensible' of the inexpediency of popular agitation, -and con? vinced that the constitutional coane was to pas? tbs bill, after amending the objectionable clauses, and dsn ve the responsibility of accept? ing the amendment; cr withdrawing ihe bill on the government. The Biabo o of Peterborough opposed the hm, and appealed to the Houae to actiflrmlj and impartially, and Mt humiliate themselves Dy abjectly sbdiontiag their COBB tit utional po? sition, and beseeching the nation to ?pare them because ibey were utterly contemptible and useless. Speeches werenlso made against the bill by Lords Chelmeaford and Clan cai ty. and in favor of by Lords Penzance, De Grey and Monak. The House again adjourned without action.

The practical good sense jund patriotism of those speeches contrast ?strongly with the tone of Mi- Bright's hasty suffusion. - She Telegraph says: "After .the first night's debate on the Irish Ohofth bill, the issue caa? nol.be doubted." . Tho Star says: "Bin oe the speech of the Archbishop of Canterbury, everything appears immediately favorable to the bilL" Mr. Aright baa written a letter to a meeting in RivmtPffh*,nl in which he ?sys : If the House of Lords ?elsy the passage of the Irish Church bill, they will stimulate the discussion of sub? jects which might slumber for ye ira. The value ot the conatitution which g?res a ma? ri ty in on? ?Boote in favor of, an d in the other ouse against, the given policy, may he ques? tioned.

Wl?mioTON, Jane 17.-The Cabans have thc following advices : The fight at Puerto del Padre waa more Important than at first sup? posed. The Spanish defeat was decisive, al? most destroying the effectiveness of the Span? ish forces in that portion of the island, and open? direct communication with the sea, en? abling the Cubans to protect the landing of reinforcements from the United States. The Cubans here are very solicitous to hear from General Jordan's command-the last ad? vices placed him in close proximity with the enemy, and a battre was imminent. C?spedes and Queaada express themselves confident as being masters of the sit? uation. Every expedition from the United States had landed Bafely arid joined the insur? gents, forming a formidable force. They are Buooeeeful in every contint with the Spaniards. It is stated that Federal agents report a gen? eral indisposition on the part of the Cuban leaders to entertain the annexation question. The Cubans attribute the inaction if not the hostility of the government to this fact, and are alarmed at the arrest of Cubans at New York. The leading partisans hate left the capital. B *.

The Advertiser say*: "For three weeks cast we hay? had bright, dear, sunshiny weather, such weather as bas given now life to the cot? ton and new hopes to the planter. But on yes? terday and last night, just as the dryness was beginning .to amount to a droaght, there fell grateful and aband ?nt rain. Tais morning, Tuesday, 15th, it is again bright, warm and clear. The reports of the growing cotton are far more encouraging now than a few weeks hack, and corn even where is said to he prom? ising. The raia of last night has brought tho vegetable gardens all squire to the front, and the wheat and oat crops are spokes of generally as good." Newberry, At a meotiog of the Newberry Agricultural Society, on the 7th instant, a number of new names were added to the roll.

It was ordered that a special meeting of tho societv be held for the purpose of bearra? the reports of delegates to the Sta*e Agricultural Conven? tion, to which the community generally is re? spectfully invited. On motion, thc president was requested to appoint a citizen in each township to advocate the interests of the so? ciety. The society then adjourned, to meet the 2d Wednesday in August. A? A Bm Ax. HIDE ON A BICYCLE.-A t the Me? chanic's Pavilion, yesterday, Paul Martineue accomplished one of the most perilous teats ever attempted at a public exhibition in this city; by riding a velocipede backward and for? ward on a single wire the whole length of that mammoth bunding. The wire was stretched from the front entrance of the pavi'ion to the old Etelare gallery st the baok, a distance of two undred feet. In tbe centre of the fountain was placed an upright post to hold up the sag of the wire, so that the velocipede had to pass over a rather steep inclination to get over this post. Martinette. on the first velocipede ever used in the pavilion, ron the machine at a smart pace to the top of tbe post and remained there several seo -n. 8, when he started down the incline on the other side, and balancad the velocipede at the lowest level on the wire, and then came the whole distance back to the starting place, without turning himself or the machine. When it is taken into consideration thal tho wire, less than halt an inch thick, was suspended twent feel from the floor, and 3 tumble w?hle! have probably been fatal, som a idea of the peril of i he feat may be formed. It was performed with as much ease as if the velocipede had been on the floor. [San Francisco Chronicie, May 16. SCIENCE AMONG TUE CELESTIALS. Chinese Doctors and Systems of Medical Treatment. A writer in the Jane number of the Overland Monthly describes the medical systems of the Chinese in California as follows: Judging from the number of their apothe? cary stores, one wonld seppose that the Chi? nese were large consumers of medicine. Nor are apearances in this particular deceptive. Ibero are in San Fraucisco a dozen or more establishments where Chinese medicines are prepared and*sold, and the busioes3 is said to be very profitable. These establishments em? ploy each, on an average, about four men in cutting, mixing and putting up prescriptions, aud in de-'oct mg and drying their thousand and more remedies, gathered from every im? aginable source. Every town in tbe country where lhere are Chinese has its medicine store, and scarcely an invoice of goods can go to tbe trader in the most distant mining settlements, or to tbe sutlers who follow np the camps of the railroad laborers, but medicines will occu? py a prominent place in it. One would infer, therefore, that there must be an extensive field for physicians wbo under? stand the nature and application of these sup? posed remedies; and this is found to be the case. I he Chinese, wherever they go, are fol? lowed up pretty closely by men professing to be skilled in the healing art. lhere is, bow ever, a great, diversity in the abilities and qualifications of these physicians. Some wit b out any medical education or training what? ever, but because nothing better offers, buv, beg, or borrow a set of medical books, put out a sign, and begin writing prescriptions for ali who apply to them; while others have grown gray in the practice of their favorite art, hav? ing done scarce anything all their days but to study the diagnosis of diseases, the nature of j medicinal herb?, minerals sud animal sub? stances, together with the theories respecting tbe effects of every variety of extraneous in? fluence on diseases, as well as the influence of the imps and other spirits. . . * Not only have Chinamen the auda? city to cist adrift from one doctor and go in search of another, but (without seeming to know of any possible im propriety in the act) they may be under the oars of two or more physicians at tho same time. Within certain limits such a course is en? tirely admi8sabie, and in some croumstanceB necessary ; for the practice of the healing sri in Cb ma is divided up into a fr rea - YOI ie ty Of specialties, and it may happen that a patient may be afflicted witb a complication of dis? eases, some external, some internal, so that two or three or more physicians may need to be applied to before all of the patient's ail? ments have been prescribed for; in which case the greatly afflicted individual may be sub? jected to the necessity of making himself the receptacle of the stuff 'administered by several doctors at the same time. ibis, however, according to Chinese notions of the internal structure of the body, is a less hazardous experiment than we Western peo? ple, who allow ourselves to read, and to be? lieve, the modern works on physiology ano anatomy, would suppose. * . * There is now before us the medical portion of the library of a Ch'nese scholar, who, while he lays no claim to the rank of a physician, is nevertheless frequently applied to tor advice. This library cousists of only six complete works, out of a list of two hundred and seventy-six medical works. In one ot these we find a catalogue of one thousand and twelve medicines, ot whion there are from mel?is and stone one hundred and thirty-eight kinds. Grasses and vegetables (includingroots, stalki, leaves, flowers and seeds) three hundred and thirteen kinds. Trees, vwnether the medicine be found in tbe ro it, trunk, bark, leaf, flower, fruit or seed) one hundred and seventy-seven. From the human body, twenty kinds. From animals, ninety-one kinds. From fowls and birds, thirty-four kinds. From bugs, worms, snakes, shell-fish, turtles, flies, Ac , ninety-nine kinds. Fruits, forty kinds. Of tbe "five, grains," thirtv-eight kinds. Of the cabbage, turnip and melon families, sixty-two kinds. lu another work which lies before us there is a fist of only four hundred and seventy-eight medicines, of the same classes as above speci? fied, but each class much abridged. Even the first, however, is not a complete catalogue as we have been told. The Chinese druggists m Han Francisco claim to have upon their shelves from six hundred to a thousand va? rieties. Wo cite a portion of the list of medicines taken from tbe human body. "Hair-cut fine and used ia plasters. Curly bair. Woman's milk. Dandruff. Teeth filings. Ears. Exu via. Palings of finger and toe nails of preg? nant women, wbicu nail-parings are reduced to ashes by burning. Bone ot the forehead, reduced to ashes. Beard of the upper lip*. Blood. The placenta. The gall ; and other things which cannot be written in the Over? land. Tbe sacredness with which burran remains are usually kept may start a question in the minds of some as to the manner of procuring certain of the above-named articles. Tue doubt, however, will be removed when the reader understands that the bodies of felons who are executed, except where friends appear to claim and bury them, are not thus religious? ly regarded and carefully ?uterred ; while tho bodies of very young children are often simply eewed up iu matting and tossed into a tree, or exposed on the surface ot the earth among tho tombs for dogs and vultures to prey upon. The list pf medicines ir >m the animals be? gins as follows : Dragon's bones. White drag? on's bones, bis teeth sud horns. Musk of l he musk deer. Ox bezoar. Bear's gall. Ivory. Deer's glue. Glue made from a black mule's bide. Sheep's milk. Cow's milk, cream and cord. Hoof of a white horso, bis thigh; also the same of a bar Loree. Bull's manure. Kara's horns. Marrow of sheep's bones. Sheep's gall, lungs, heart, kidneys, teeth, flesh, horns. Chamois' horns. Deer's boms (the tip of Ibo horn is regarded as especially valuable for re? storing the blood. ) Bainoceroa' hom. Tiger's bones, claws and eyes. Dog's gall, heart, brains, teeth, ekull, blood, and so on, through a long lust, up to ninety-four varieties, embrac? ing, perhaps, everything tbe reader will be apt to imagine, as well as manv things that he would not ?bink of as possible to oe brought into service in the healing art, and certainly several things which we will not copy here. All these are ia their catalogue of doctor's stuff, bot many of the articles m the list are rarely use!, aud som9 are designed only for external application. The bulk of the medicines used by the phy? sicians and Bold by tbs druggists consists of | vegetable substances of every variety. The prescriptions which we bave examined call largely for this class, viz : Fer roots and herbs, leaves, flowers, bark, fruits, ic. * * * But physicians are proverbially a long-suffering and benevolent class of men; in? deed, it is impossible tor one to bo a good and acceptable physician and not exercise tb ese qualities; therefore we know ot no class of men who will be more ready to take into considera? tion the question as to what may bo done even here ia California toward-* helping soma of | these bright Chinese youths to acquire a gen nine and finished radical education, such as may fit them not only for practitioners, but prepare them also for translating medical works into their own language, and for estab? lishing Icc areubipe in their own country. Tho Medical Missionaries m Ubina have bdub* labor? ing with this object in view, and if their brethren in California., wuo have BO promising a field tor the development of tho? benevolent nature in this direction, will work m concert with those on the otner side of the water, th :y w.ll ody be doing what we havp learned to ex? pect from this so honorable aud indispensable branch of the learned profession. It will be Been that the way is preparing for such plans as we have suggested, and for revoluti winns altogether the system of the Chinese medical practice, when we add that very many China? men in this country have a ready learned the superiority ot our system over that of their own middle kingdom, and when sick they wish none bat American doctors; and more would follow their example but for their timidity and a laca of the means of on introduction to our respectable physicians, and but for the dread of larger bills thsn they might be able to pay. -The Washington Star of Saturday eays .

TBE BUB-BITE OF TBE UNIVERSE. THE JUBILEE AT BOSTON. The Opening Day-Great Snccew-ia OOO -Muslrlani. In Accord-Sn Audience of 25,000-Thr "Anvil Chorni"..Tb? Hi mn "A morir?'" "tendered by tho Kn tire Chorus, Accompanied by thc Organs, the Great Dram, the Artillery and the Kinging; of Bella. Tbe thunderous melody of the great Boston Peace Jubile - is begun at last. The first of the series of monster concerts, which are to j render tbie week memorable in the annals of the Hob, took place on Tuesday last. A Bos? ton dispatch of Tuesday night, to the Washing? ton Chronicle, says: All accounts concur in pronouncing tbe first day of the Jubilee the most original and effec? tive event of the kind in America. At least 30.000 people were present. Twelve thousand of i them were musicians and sincere, and yet there was room for at least 15,000 more. Ole Bull led the instrumental part of the Jubilee. . There were three conductors, headed by Pat? rick 8. Qilmore, an adopted citizen of Irish birth, and the order of the great army of musi? cians was not less admirable than that of the immense audience. Representatives from many of the musical societies of the dill .-rent States were present. There were 3175 soprano singers, 2516altos, 1959 tenors, 2G06basaos; total, 10,266. There were 689 violins, flutes, trumpets, horns, drams, Ac Over 1100 persons took part in the military band. i The wonder of the exhibition was tbe Jubilee organ, claimed to be the smallest and most powerful in the world. It was built by E. & G. O. Hook. The harmony filled tho vast space with its wondrous volume. It is only ten fpot high, and the total number of pipes is 1011, comprised in thirteen speaking stops. It is so built that all the pipes are exposed to view. It is a marvel of ingenuity and effect. It is im? possible to describe tbe effect of the perform? ances. Tbe "Star-spangled Banner" was given by the immense corps, and the cannon outside the building sounded in exact unison with the chorus. The guns were fired off from the in? side of the building by Gilmore, using electric wires. The effect was truly wonderful, and I thousands melted into tears. The Anvil Chorus was equally successful and novel. The following telegram gives an account more in detail of the day's doings: The inauguration of tbe National Peace Ju bileo took place this afternoon. Bev. E. E. Hale invoked the Divine blessing, and Mayor Sbprtleff delivered an eloquent and patriotic addreos ot welcome. Hon. A. H. Bice followed as the orator of the day. In th course of hia speech, which was of considerable length, he said: "It is ordained, in the affairs of men, that the highest triumph of victory is the most per? fect peace. The loudest di o of battle is hushed I in the melody of song. In entire agreement with this thought, convened this vast assem? bly-larger than was ever before gathered in a I single audience room upon this continent i gathered from East, West, North and South, to blend the power of numbers and the harmo I ny of song together, and, with multiplied voice, and instrument of every name, to unite in sending up to Heaven and forth to men a pean of great joy over the restoration of domestic peace, and tbe renewal of prosperity to our common country." Admiral Faragut, Commodore Bogers, and other veteran naval officers were escorted to the Coliseum, and the Union Navy Association and many other distinguished peoplo, inc lad? ing Mrs. Harrison Gray Otis, Parepa Bosa, and Ole Bull, were cordially greeted by the performers and spectators. I The chorus and instrumental performers numbered irom 10 000 tb 12,000, and the au? dience probably 25,000, notwithstanding the threatening weather. Fully half tbe people in? side the Coliseum were ladies: The first piece on the program nn, the choral, "A Strong Castle is our Lord," was sung by the fu'l chorus, with orchestral and organ accompaniment, under the direction of Mr. Gilmore. Tbe choras comprised 10 000 voices, and the orchestra 1100 instruments. The vocalization of the chorus was as distinct, and the enunciation ss crear as that of a church choir. At the close tbe audience testified its appre? ciation bylong continued applause. The over? ture to "Tannhauser" was then performed by j a select oicbestra of six hundred musicians under tbe direction ot Julius Eichberg. It was carefully and thoroughly performed, and was conceded to be a success, eliciting rounds of applause. "Qlorv be to God on High.'' from Mozart's "Twelfth Mass," was rendered by the full cho? rus, with orchestral and organ accompani? ment, under the direction of Carl Zerrahu. Gounod's "Ave Maria" was then sung by Pare? pa Rosa. Tho violin obligaba was performed by two hundred violins, led by Ole Bull, under the direct i m of Mr. Gilmore. Pare pa's solo was beard in all parts of tbe building. The next selection was "The Star-spangled Banner," whicb introduced the whole chorus, the organ, and the entire force of musicians, together with the chiming of church-bells and thc firing of artillery. This was one o' the greatest features of tbe day, and was a grand success. The audience, arter joining in tho chorus to tbe lost verse, rose en misse in a state of pa? triotic excitement, and it was repeated with renewed energy and harmony, closing with an? other outburst of e ithusiaam. After tbe intermission, the "'Hymn to Peace,'' written by Dr. Holmes to the music ot Keller's "American Hymn," was suns; by the whole chorus, and was enthusiastically encored. The overture of "'William Toll" followed, and Parepa Bosa then sang tho "Inflammatus," from "Stabat Mater." the responses being given by the chorus, with accompaniment of organ and tull orchestra. The "Coronation March' was well received. Toe "Anvil Chorus" was given by the entire force, with 100 anvils. The accompaniment created intense enthusiasm, tho audience de? manding a repetition, which was given. The national air, "Mv Country 'tis of Thee," was the last piece, and was sung by the fa l chorus, with all the accompaniments, including the organ, entire orchestra, big drum, cbimes, artillery. It .vas the crowning success of the day. The audience stood on their seats and shout? ed and made extraordinary demonstrations. The last verse tvas repeated, and the entire au? dience joined in. With tbis ended the pro? ceedings of the first day. Tbe indications are that the Coliseum will be crowded all the week. Tbe joint committee of the Legislature will receive President Grant to-morrow morning at the St. James Hotel, and, under escort of a companv of cavalry, will accompany bim to the State House, where he will be officially received by tho Governor and the legislative bodies. He will review the the State militia, and in ihe afternoon become the guest of tho city. Hs will also visit the Coliseum in the afternoon. PISTOLS AND COFFEE. Dael Between a Spanish Newspaper h dit or of ftew York and a Cuban Origin of the Affair-The .Heeling Tbe Cuban >Uoi Through Botta Legs at thc First Fire. Our tolcgrama have already informed our readors of a duel fou erbt on Friday last at Lon dy's Lane, Canada, between a Spaniard and a Cuban, in which tho latter was wounded. Thc New York Sun says of the sffiir : Tho weekly journal published in this city in the interests ot Spanish tyranny, entitled El Cronista, o .ves whatever success it has ob? tained in tbe way of circulation to tho Cuban war for liberty, which calls forth the earnest sympathies ol our population, and their con? sequent interest in everything wbiob may bear upou it on either side. Taking advantage of that circumstance, the editor. Mr. Ferrer de Canton bas been in the practice of filling hie journal with exaggerated reports and denunciations of the Cuban cause and its followers. These misrepresentations have led to bitter enmity, and nume rous mall eu gos to fight have been received by the editor of El Cronista from Cu? bans to whom bis views have giren offence; but no ono was able to draw him out, as he "did not wish to fight tho whole island." At length a Ber ICH of s turbal papers be ?a o to ap? pear semi-occasionally, under tbe title of "El Ferrero de Oontiya." a play upon Ferrer's name, which handled the latter's character withent gloves, ibis exaaperaieu ice opamaru to such an extent that he published an edito? rial article denouncing the unknown author as a coward, and daring him lo reveal his name. On the following day a Senor Porta, a Vene? zuelan by birth, but long a resident of Havana, publicly proclaimed himself tbe writer of tbe offensive articles and assumed the entire re spoosibilit y of their contents. Simultaneously with this announcement a 1 friend" of Senor Porta called upon the editor of ?1 Cronista and offered bim the alternative of redacting all the slanderous articles which had appeared in his paper on the Cubans and their canse, or of fighting a duel "to the death," according to the statutes of the code. The first born of tbe di le i ma being out of the question, an agree? ment was immediately made to fight m Can? ada, just outside the boundaries of the United States. Pistols were the weapons chosen, and the Sot selected was within a short distance of e famous battle-field of Lundy's Lane. Ac? cordingly, on Friday last, the party consisting of tbe two principals and their respective seconds-GnLierez de la Vega, late Civil Gov? ernor of Havana, for Ferrer, and Don Perico Almentero, of Havana, and Colonel Bivas, of New Granada, for Porto-took the train for their destination. No unneceBBarv time was lost after their arrival in selectinq the gronnd and arranging preliminaries, and at 5 o'clock on Sunday morning they went to a retired grass-grown spot, partially bidden by trees, and then and there, and with no spectators save their seconds, and the astonished birds, the pistols were examined and carefully loaded, the cruel surgical instruments with their sug? gestive accompaniment of lint and wrappers made ready for instant use, and tbe brief space which should separate them from death calm? ly and mathematically measured off, The choice of position was awarded to Fer? rer, and each man 'walked to his appointed place, with the weapon of death firmly clench el io his baud, and a fierce determination gio ring on his countenance. Each stood side? ways on his chosen spot, clinched his left band resting on his bips behind, t hree shots were exchanger, an j a fourth was demanded.
