TACTICS OF THE GOVERNMENT. LONDON, -July 21-In tho House; of Lords last night the Irish Church bill, a? returned fro LU the Hon o of Commons, was taken up. Earl Granville complimented the Lords on the ability'and statesmanship developed in the lalo debato and the moderation shown by tho op? position towards its oloeo. The government thought eome of their amendments good, some bad, others quite inadmissible. He did nob consider the Commons had dealt supercilious? ly or contemptuously with them, for out of 4Sixty amendments only thirteen bad been ab? solutely rejected. He analyzed the amend? ments having effect to re-endow what the bill intended to disendow, and. said concurrent en? dowment, notwithstanding the ability with which it bad been supported, tbe government was obliged to consider a breaoh of tai th with 1 their constituents, while an overwhelming ma- 1 jori ty of the House of Commons and public opinion were opposed to it. In respect io the disposal of the surplus fund, the more he saw and beard the more be was convinced that it was disadvantageous to keep the question open, and he condemned the proposal to keen .?3,000,000 dangling before the people to excite ?nd stimulate agitation. He urged the House not to adhere to these amend? ments, and proposed reinstating tbe words etruok out of the preamble in the criginal bill. Lord Cairns com plained in strong terms that the government bad not adhered to Earl Granville's pledge that tbe Lords'amendments would be respectfully considered, for on tbe faith of this promieo many who objected to the bill on its own merits were induced to vote for a second reading. He thought Mr. Gladstone had used language in' the other Houso un? worthy of himself and ot bis position. He con? tended that of the amendments which had been rejected all except two had been disposed of without the slightest consideration. The modifications made in tho other amendments were utterly illusory and unsatisfactory. He hoped the House would insist on the reservation of the surplus for future disposi? tion, and on the Amendments with respect to curates and to commutation life interests. The remaining amendments, being of minor importance, they miRhi give up, in order not to provoke needlessly a collision between the two houses. Earl Kimberly said the government could not give way. Earl Grey thought the -words of the pream? ble were offensive to tbe religious majority of Ireland, and urged the government to concur in the amendment. It the bill failed on ac? count of its. refusal to yield this point, it would be the fault of the government. Lords Halifax, Clanrtearde and Shaftesbury supported the government. Earl Bussell favored tbe ? disestablishment and disendowmenfc, subject to existing rights. He thought the words in the preamble unne? cessary and impolitic lithe real object of the bill waa to be declared, it should state that the decision of the last election was against all Chu "Cb establishments-those of England and frarfWitlflnd ajfijfcftlj as Ireland-arid the^Qistence n of the Irish Church ought to te m?a? a direct " issue. He believed the preamble was capable of any . interpretation. He thought the grant of glebes to all denominations was the wisest plan for establishing religious equality; He declared he would feel obliged to vote against the government on the question of the pream? ble. Should tbe bill fail to pass, the govern? ment would only have itself to blame. He thought they ought to reciprocate the concili? atory disposition manifested by Lord Cairns. The Duke of Argyle denied that the govern? ment desired to provoke a collision between the two bouses of Parliament. He denounced, concurrent endowment, and defended the pro? visions of the bill as not only just bnt gener? ?os. The Marquis of Salisbury reproached the government party for its change of opinion with respect to disestablishment and disen dowmeot. Before taking office it held them to be distinct matters. Now it ruged trat they wore bound together indissolubly. He believ? ed tbe adoption of concurrent endowment would have been wise and statesmanlike. He opposed the preamble and the appro? priation of the surplus as a false and foolish effort of tbe government to bind future Parlia? ments. Tbe government wished to guard against tbe employmeot of the surplus for re ligouB purposes. He insisted that the Lords had * clear and well denned duty to perform to themselves in tbis matter. Io resisting the demands of the government they . were not re? sisting the verdict of the country, but the will of a single individual. They had exhausted all efforts, at conciliation and compromise. To give way now would be to sacrifice tho inde? pendence of tho Peers as well as tbe Church. Earl Granville protested against the lan? guage applied to the government, and appeal? ed to the Lords to support tho government in this grave and critical moment. The House then divided on the motion of Earl Granville to restore the preamble. With .the following re? sult : For 95. against 178-majority against (he government 78. Earl Granville then moved an adjournment that be miebt consult his colleagues, and at a late hour the House adjourned. EXCITING SCENES IN THE HOUSE OF LOBOS-TBS PEERS GIVE WAT, AND A C0MP3OMI9H IS AC? CEPTED, , LOND.IN, July 28.-There was a full atten? dance of the House o? Lords, many of tbe Gommons being present. Lord Granville opened the debate, stating that the ministers regarded tbe vote rejecting the preadnble of tbe Irish Churob bill as a grave affair, but were un? willing to prevent the consideration of other amendments and were anxious to conduct the discussion ID a peaceful and conciliatory spirit. Lord Cauros said that since tte adjournment ho had hada conference with Lord" Granville, and moved to restore the original date of dis establishment, and io compromise on other amendments* Lord Salisbury, Bussell and other loading Peers accepted tbe compromise and praised the conduct of Cairns io the emergency. The "Lords restored the original date and other amendments v.*ra compromised. Granville thanked Cairns for the. frankness with which ho enterol into conflJontial relations with the minia r , Tbe New York Herald's special from London, says that the eompiomiae was tba result of fear on the part of the Lords. Tbe Tory Lords held large private meetings and resolved to abandon Salisbury and follow Cairns, whom the meeting authorised to make peace with the ministry. The prompt and loud expression of popular indtgn ? lion ter rifled the Lords, and thus the threatened agitation was postponed.

Their Infusioillty with other Nations 9heir matronal friae-Tn?ir Coming ingres? into tue Atlantic States, The people of the Atlantic States, unac? quainted with the Chinese population, regard their immigration to this country in tho same light they would the importation of an equal number of the uegro race from Africa. But the Chinaman and the negro are human be? ings of a very unlike character and nature. The difference between the t wo raoes is as the difference between an intensely ignorant but docile child, plastic and pliant as clay in the hands of the potter-and a grovn man, sharp but very narrow-minded, opinionated and fixed in character. The negro, when brought to this country, is a simple barbarian, with nothing to unlearn, and whose highest am oil ion is to imi? tate the superior raoe in words, acts and man? ners. The Chinese have a civilization and his? tory of their own; a vanity which Causes them to look down on all other races; habits of | thought rendered permanent by being stamped upon uncounted generations. A San Fran? cisco letter to the Boston Journal thus de? scribes the characteristics of the cornice race : To ? limited extent the Chinese become quickly Americanized; but their Americaniza? tion is only superficial. They learn to buy and sell, t > labor according to Amenoan modes, just as they discard tbe umbrella-shaped hat, wide trousers and thick paper shoes for the felt hat, pantaloons and boots; but they retain adi their essential habits and modes of thought Just as they retain their cues. Tbe Chinaman tendirg a hop-field digging a ditch, or firing sn engine m California is just as essentially a Chinaman as hm brother on the otber sid J of the Pacific, working with the name tools is his fathers worked with eighteen hundred years ago. - THEIR NATIONAL PRIDE. The American and English -missionaries, who for thirty-nine yeais, at a cost of six mil? lions of dollars, have with but trifling success been laboring in China, know full well how in? tensely this people are wedded to the customs and habits of their ancestry: how unwavering their trust in the religious futa and ceremo? nies which have come down to them from time immemorial; . Tbe Chinese, aa a people, are so much like Americans es to believe, that their Own civili? zation, political economy, social usages and religious oreed are superior to all the world beside, and that they are a superior race. We make the same claim for ourselves. In the Chinaman's view? the difference between his Zivilisation and ours is all in bis favor. We jlaitn, and o? course:with Justice, that tbe dif? ference is sil in oar favor. -We Judge China md her civilization by the masses of hex most .literate and degraded population noe on our :oast. They, with equal justice, judge of us md oar civilization by the associations of our brectstles, deadfalls aod railroad gangs. There are a few intelligent, well-bred, libe? ral Chinamen among us, but the masses are ?rom the lowest class in China, i But there ure some things which gives to the lowest chinaman a certain conscious dignity which daims respect. For example, he knows bs ?as a country. Tims was when men were woad to say, "I am a Bomen eitizen." With ?qua! prido wo face the World to say, "l am an American citizen." The Chinaman with like gu?ndenos claims to be a subject of the "Sun >f Heaven." We are pron i of our extensive territory, vast Mairies, mountains, lakes and rivers. In all hese things the Chinaman has a right to boast >f his country; for China ie as large as the Jnited States, even stretched to ita utmost ex en t by our Fourth of Joly orators. A Chins nan might ask you to open to the map of forth America, and leaving British America ?nt of count, to add together all the square niles of all otber divisions of this continent, rom the North Pole to the Isthmus of Panama, md then, with an excusable pride of national ;lory, he could inform you that the domain of lie empire ie equal to all that. THEIR POPULATION AND ANTIQTJirV. The Chinaman not only bas a great country, rat he belongs to a great people. We Ameri? cas are a numerous people, and are rapidly ocreasing. Some five years ago. while in the ?orthem part of thia State, among my earliest bcquaintaoces was a young Canton merchant, rho had early come out as superintending igent for his countrymen, who weie mining in liskiyou and Del Norte Counties. He was boroughiy educated ia bis own, and anxious obeooms familiar with our language. Ooo lay, while striving to impress him with a pro >er conception of the power and greatness of he American people, he suddenly brought me Iowa by inquiring: ; '~\\ "Well, mv learned friend, waal is the ex ict population of your great and honorable jountry?" ; At that time our census" ret urna did not give >ver 88.000,00c-, but Wiahing to make an im-, J ?ressi?n, I used a qualifying word to help mo ?vcr a few millions, and ans were J, "About 0,000,000.:' Hts face wore a look of mingled lily and contempt, as he replied: ' "' . . ?. ''Sir,' the one province of whioh I am a na? ive numbers 40 000,000, and our whole empire lumbars 400,000 000." . .," ,; We may be be ter able to conceive the vast ess of tnis>popalation by ad lug together tho opulation of North America, South America Dd Europe, and theo remember that the opulation ot China is equal to tko whole sum. Bat China is siso the oldest of nations, une as existed as a mighty empire for thousands t years. Few ohanges have, there been in her yoasties-fewer .ter in her customs and civil ado. "Celestials," as a government, sud ?sa eoplo, feel tbe conscious dignity of, and right - illy claim the respeot duo to permanent inan? itions and hoary age. In view of these facts e sometimes feel a little queer when asked by Chinaman Acquainted with tho history of his gantry, "What is tbe age of your great and inti y nation ?" for after stretching as muoh s we dare by the use of qaelif < mg words wo re obliged to answer, ".Not quite ono hnudred ears." THEIR CIVILIZATION STATIONARY. We are apt to speak with ooo tem pt of Chinese Ivilization, and certainly it is.ver* far behind orown; but it has not always been so. Ten antuvies ago they ware tbe most civilizo 1 peo le oh ihe globe? While oar ancestors, igno ?nt of the art of printing were making all aeir boo 'B by tbe tedi?os and expensive pro ass of manuscript writing, the Chinese were anting nooks by the thousand. While our noes to rs weat forth to ba tie, fighting hand 3 band, ignorant of powder and its use?, tbe b?nese were making powder and fire-crackers verv day. While oar auodstore wore yet. lgno ant of glass and its us?e, the Chinese drove a trge baetaeee among themselves in the mann? um are of article* vi glass. Bat the trouble i-there she stands. Just aa she printed ooke then, she prints booka now; just sus i owdor and just such glass as sba made then, ut sash sae makes now. Jta improvemunt. lo-advance for many a century. What ia the eause of the intellectual stagna ion of the nation ? Some fl ppAOtly answer : ' 1 hey are so inferior rare and lack thu neoee ary brain-for tbe development of the biehest ?vinzatioa." But we mav well question rhether A people who, unaided from loreign ouroHS, have eliminated s system of govem aeut wbtch has controlled the greatest nation f the globe tor centuries, csa be charged with an irremodial deticipiicy of brain., In the na? tional difficulties of 1810, the London Times bf mg Judge, tho offioial dispatches of Com? missioner Lin were superior in argument, in r. political acumen and m eleganee'of diction, to the dispatches of any of the representatives of tho foreign natio. s with whom he had to deal. Was he deficient in 1 rains? Whoa tho Empe? ror To Kiion? was pressed to. legalist the traffic in opium, the old man answered : "I know that my puiposes will be frustrated; I know that des'gning mon, for the purpose of illicit gain, will clandestinely introduce the drug into my country, but announce to the , honorab.e ambassadors that nothing under heaven shall influence mo to legalize the cer taiu ruin ol my people." Was not that answer statesmanlike, as well as noble and patriotio ? There is to-day m-tho Bank of. Gflitornia a na? tive Cliiu&ojau wno, not morely in the beauty ot his penmanship, but in the rapidity and ac? curacy of his reokoning, is surpassed by no accountant in this city. Does thia argue a dullness of intellect? PROSPECTS Or A HOBS RAPID IMMIGRATION. Tbe great recommend;!lion of Chinese labor ia its cheapness. No people in tbe world are such close economists. They will live well, ac? cording to their ideas, w befe ah Anglo-Saxon will starve. A little rice suffises them, a little pork added constitutes high living, a little obioaen the highest of luxury. Clo into a Chi? nese habitation an 1 you find every inob utiliz? ed. A room ten foot square will bunk a dozen, besides affording workshop, kitchen and eating room. . Reduce wages to the starvation point for a YsDkee, and the Chinaman will not only live better than at home, but lay up money. Now, capital on this coast clearly perceives, and it. will soon see it in the Atlantic States, that its interests lie in the Ire . and rapid im? portation of these oheap workers. Irish dema? gogues may oppose, but there ? an be but one issue to this co?tes'. Mobs sud midnight m oendiansm will avail nothing. The Pioneer Woohen Mills were once burned foi* employing coolies, bat now, like other woollen mills, they emplov as many as they can. A year ago the Chinese graders tn San Franoise* were driven from their work by tbe Irish men they displaced ; but long ago the protecting police guard was withdrawn. Large numbers of Chinamen are already em? ployed, as servants in hotels, boarding-bouses and families, taking the places of girls in chamber work and cooking, tn which they quickly become experts. For twelve months a -large part of tbe immigration bas been boys tram ten to sixteen years old, who immediately are put to service in families, where they soon pick np a knowledge ofevorv-day words and of household duties. In troth, the Chinese in California are rapidly monopolizing employ? ment m all the higher branches of industry usually allotted to women,' such as running sewing-machines, making paper bags and boxes, binding shoes and packing moa icm ea. TH EXE ADAPTATION TO MANUVACrDBINO. Another leading characteristic of the Chin? ese is their patienoe. This patient steadiness peculiaily adapts them for tending machinery. Ihe tendency of modern production is to a greater and greater subdivision of labor-to confine the operative to one part of the pro? cess1, and to require of him close attention, patience and mauual dexterity, rather than knowledge, judgment au d brain power, lt ia in ?bese qualities that the chinese excel. Cali? fornia has always produced aa abundance of wool; but the high price of labor was an im? passable barrier to ita manufacture. But the plan of experimenting with Chinese labor sug? gested itself. It waS tried, and it prov -.-d en? tirely satisfactory. The foremen in th<*ae mills declare that with na other operativos ar? they so well and profitably served. They are promptly at their post, they work without lag? ging; they have DO gossip so common with factory girls, and which involves the breaking ot so many threads. THE tra?nas* rs TUB ATLANTIC STATES. I a eoncladuig thia discussion of Chinese era i ?ration, one question remains to be answered : fill Chinese labor ever be introduced into the Atlantic States ? I answer yee, aod within a very few years. It ia lesa than twenty year? amos the first Mongolian laborer landed ia California. Now, they are everywhere oa the Pacido slope. They hsve reaobod the great luto? ?or Win .'ItSSF Ut ? IV-'o bane of the Wahsafccu Mountains. Ike new towns along the Platte will soon have their Chinese quarters. Soon the Cninaman will have ceased to ba a curiosity in the villages of Illinois and Ohio, where, six months ago. men, women and children gathered around ike first "Celestial" who had crossed the Mississippi from the West. We are wont to talk of the pauper labor of Bogland. To Eastern manufacturers here is offered cheaper labor at their doora-labor which will think itself well remunerated by wagoe upon whioh British operatives could not keep themselves oat of the poprhouse- which will not get up "strikes" from Trades Unions, or elamor for eight- hour laws; bat whick will toil uncomplainingly twelve hoare of the day, not oven asking for Sunday*. It can be tad, too, without stint or limit; for, of her 400.000. 000, China eau spare 5,000,000 annually, end Feel a relief from their abstraction. Ia view of the existing facts and inevitable tendencies, I can safely predict that in tea years there will be handled* of Chinese opera? tive* in Lowell, Lawrence, Manchester and every large manufacturing town of New Eng? land; in Booton, New York, Philadelphia and all the great Atlantic cities, thousands of these "Celestials." with long cues and yellow coun? tenances, will be doing tko kitchen and cham? ber work now bun?tingly performed by tho daughters of the Emerald Lue. In the cotton and rico fields of tbe South the sallow Mongo? lians will supplant the ebony Africans, and-the negro now so potent, poutioftlly, will be order? ed to "move on." Superior industry and the force of numbers will drive him to the wall. Politician* oh this coast have talked of mak? ing laws to prevent Chinese emigration. Let them first pump dry the broad old ocean over which they cross to this continent. There ia a "Higher Le w" whioh brings the Oriental race to our sh .res, and von might as well attempt to measure arms wilb the Almighty as to pre? vent it-. lt would seem as if tired of waiting tot Christ ?anlf y to go into all the world. Om? nipotence is bringing the heathen world and placing them down in our midst, ia the shade 3? ear temple*, by the aide of - onr altars, io order that Christianity and- Paganism, in thia ige of power, shall be brought into close and deadly conflict.

It has now Bweiled to enormous dimensions, and inquiries reach him from all parts of the South and W ;et in regard to tho feasibility ot employing Chiuameu, and the cost of their transportation. He will while at the South make similar arrangements with railroad o?i c.als to tboso made here, and will also contract for the deli very of laborers in time for the ma? nuring operations of next winter. The South Carolina sea islands will, it is thought, through the abundant and thrifty labor ot Chinamen, toon yield long colton and rice to art i m menso value. A number of heavy Northern capital? ists aro now raising crops upon tbem, and more will follow upon the advent of the Celes? tials. Tbe planters ot tbe Mississippi bave already begun experimenting with the new laborers and with great satisfaction. ? A New York letter to the Philadelphia Led? ger says: Mr. Koopmanscbaap, the famouB importer of aoolles, is in town, and said to be "taking soundings" on the Chinese question. Thus Tar he does not seem to meet with much en? couragement, public opinion here, with refe? rence to the Asiatics, not being so far advanc? ed aa lt was at Memphis. One of. tbe evening papers gives nim to understand there ts an bet if Coogress to prohibit the coolie trade, (ap proved February 19,1862 ) and that if ho en? gages in tbe business ot importing Cbmese, ats ships or steamers witt be liable to cjnttsoa fcion, and himself to fine and imprisonment, lt s considered one thing, whether the Asiatics mall b3 allowed to come to this country as Dther foreigners, as fre 3 men and women, or ?ynether they shall be imported, in droves, aa' slaves for a term of years. Notwithstanding this show of opposition, lowever, it ?a understood that Mr. Koopman lohaap intends to present bia views to the community here at a publio meeting, which ?111 shortly be called at the Cooper Institute. lt is said that tbe main object of his visit to Sew York: is to engage suitable v?asela for Pa* li?o emigi-ation.
