The Established Church in Ireland . An important document has just beer priuted , by order of the House of Commons . It is a return made on the subject of the first-fruits iu Ireland , containing a statement of the wealth and other information connected with that establishment . From the information which is spread over its 134 pages , we make the following abridgment of facts :
Translations to Bishoprics . Since the month of August , 1812 , to which date the returns go back , we find that there were 26 promotions or translations to the blshopricks , thus * . Lord John George Beresford , Archbishop of Armagh , in 1822 , having been raised to the see of Clogher only in 1819 , aud to
the Arcbbishoprick of Dublin in 1820 ; Percy Jocelyn to the see of Clogher in 1819 , and Lord Robert Tottenham to the same see in 1822 ; Wm . Magee to the see of Raphoe in 1819 , and Wm .

in 1819 , to the see of Rlphin ; m Clonfert no episcopal promotion ; in KillaVa no episcopal promotion . It will be seen at once that these names are principally those of aiistocratical houses , or pf families possessed of parliamentary interest ; perhaps the only one of the whole in which such interest did not influence the selection is that of Dr . Brinkley , who was elevated to the see pn account of his great talent .
Incomes of Archbishops and Bishops . The yearly iucomes of the Archbishops are stated to be—Armagh , 15 , 080 / . 15 * . 6 rf . ; Tuara , 5548 / . 1 9 * . \\ d . \ Cashel , 3500 / . and upwards , while of Dublin no return is made ; of the others , Clogher is returned 9000 / . late currency ; Derry , 10 , 000 / . and upwards * late currency ; Meath , 5815 / . 14 * . 5 d . ; Raphoe , 5370 / .

" and upwards at the least ; " Killala , 4 , 600 / . ; from the dioceses in Tuam there is uo return made , " as there is no record of the value of the
several Bishopricks and dignitaries of the province in the Registrar ' s office . " Family Livings . A curious fact observable throughout the return is the number of individuals of the same name as the Bishop who had the good luck to get iuto livings soon after his attainment of the episcopal diguiry ; for example ,
Knox in possession of Derry at the commencement of these returns ; then follow—J . Spencer Knox , June 1813 , rectory of Fahau , 360 / . a year ; August , same year , Hon .
