4? IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. - 1101;SE OF LORDS..—TIIVICSPAY, MAN 111. la the Hou •o , of LOllll6 yesterday, the Earl of DIIIM, in reply to a question from Earl Rummell, stated that the conference on the question of Lux emburg met that afternoon, and he had every rea son to believe that all the difficulties had been overcome, and although nothing had yet been signed Vlore was no doubt that the peace of Eunpe would be practically secured. The Policies of Insurance Bill ea , read a second time. Earl eqweinc called attention to the prt,ceedings Of the gov e l. tinient with respect to th e r ec ent meet ing in Hyde-park, and moved fur copies of the aotieo issued by the Home Secretor, i.riihibiting the meeting ; and also of the instructions given to the pan* on the subject. He regretted that Vii!ell the matter was discussed in the Vomit ~,,, s on Fr . :- day goventai.mt did not distinctly state that they did not intend to interfere. lip to Sunday after mart the public were led to believe that there would be a conflict between the authorities and the peoide. The conduct of the government had given a blow to the respect which ought to be paid to law and aut:twity. Tne F.trl of DERBY said he was ansiolis to relieve Wa!pale from the blame which had been cast upon him in some quarters., and to state that his sight lion. friend, owing to the onerous duties which had been thrown upon him, ha,l placed his suaigiuttion in his hands. With regard to the use of the pieks by the public, sonic disturb:um:es arose in Mai in consequence of the introtketion of the Sunday Trading Bill, and the opinion of the law Offiaers of the crown was taken, which was that the public had only a conditional license to use the parks. In July last, Sir Hugh Cairns and Sir W. Bovill, the then law officers of the crown, were consulted as to the right of persons, after having entered the park, to hold meetings there, and their opinion was that the authorities would have a right to turn them out of the park, but that each individual case must be dealt with sepa rately. Ti h was at the end of the session, and the Ketone League having stated that they would try the question in a court of law, the govern ment abstained last year from introducing: a bill on the subject. The inhabitants were then apa thetic, but before the late meeting a memorial was signed by 16,000 persons calling upon the govern ment to interfere. Notice had been served on sixteen of the leaders, and it was intended to take proceedings against them in order to try the ques tion. Tice instructions given to the police were to do everything to preserve the peace, but not to interfere if the peace were not broken. He was ready to do full justice to the orderly and peace able conduct of the people who assembled in the park, but government had so right to calculate upon that. He thought government had taken the only course which could wisely be adopted. Earl Ressett contended that the course taken by the government had exposed the dignity of the ormolu to unparalleled contempt. He entertained a high opinion of Mr. Walpole's abilities, but was glad that he had resigned. He condemned the government for not having dealt frankly with the people by telling them the real state of the law, and that government had no power to prevent the meeting except by such proceedings as would create a collision. The meeting in the park ought to ba left to the discretion of the people, and he hoped the government would not proceed with their bill. The LORD CHANCILLOR maintained that the government had taken the only course that was open to them. Earl Gamy thought the government had acted through the whole matter without judgment. Len! CAIRDR defended the proclamation which the government had issued. The Earl of DOOLEY approved of the bill which government had brought into the House of Com mons. The time had arrived when authority should be given to the government to put down such large demonstrations as that which took place on Monday. Earl Gasriviu.s condemned the conduct of the government, and after some observations from the Zarl of Cardigan, Lord Romilly, and the Duke of Rutland, the motion was withdrawn. The house adjourned at ten minutes put 8. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THURSDAY, Mar 9. lw the HOUSE of COMMONS, Mr. WALPOLE, in reply to Mr. N RATE, gave the names of a number of persons, including Mr. Beales, Colonel Dickson, Mr. Odgers, and Mr. Bradlaugh, who had been served with notices that they would be proceeded against as trespassers, or otherwise, if they held a meeting in Hyde-park, and stated that instructions had Leon given to the law officers of the crown to institute proceedings against them. Lord STANLEY, in reply to Mr. LABOUVE ERE, stated that the conference on the subject of Luxem burg now assembled in London, met this morning for the second time, and though of course he could not enter into details, he might say that substan tially an arrangement had been come to. Nothing but the final business remained to be trans muted, and the hope that he expressed ten days ego that this question which was then disturbing Europe would be amicably ar ranged was practically realised. By the treaty of 1839, England, with other signatories, guaranteed the territory of Luxemburg to Holland, and her Majesty's government in giving a fresh guarantee, had simply adopted it to the changes consequent on the dissolution of the Germanic Confederation, and had not extended it, but had rather limited it. In a few days he expected to be able to lay the papers on the table. Tim CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to Mr. W. E. BAXTER, stated that the time of the intro duction of Scotch Reform Bill depended on what might occur in the house in reference to the English bill, but if they lived in serene times he hoped to bring it in on Monday. The house then went into committee on the Representation of the People Bill, resuming the discu.ision on an amendment proposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to insert in clause 3 the words " as an ordinary occupier." Mr. BIEBER? objected to the insertion of these words, because they were antagonistic to the amendment of which he had given notice, enabling occupiers of compound houses under the value of 101. to claim the franchise on the same conditions as the occupiers of houses above the value of 101. may now obtain it. In giving notice of that amendment he disclaimed being actuated by any hostility to the government, and said his only desire was to improve the bill. There were in the country nearly half a million occupiers of houses the rates of which are compounded for. He should be very glad if all the acts authorising com pounding were swept away, but this would not be an easy matter. Sir W. Clay's act had been in operation fifteen years, but only about 25,000 out of 9t,000 voters had been placed on the register through its operation. He submitted that it was unjust to impose restrictions on ono class which were not imposed on another. Mr. J. S. MILL said if the bill passed as pro posed by the government, there would be a scramble between the two political parties for the 476,000 compound householders. Whoever could get the most of them on their side, would have a security of tenure of power for some time to come. It would open the door to bribery and corruption. There was but one thing wanting to complete this measure—that the minister who sowed bribery forecast with one hand, should hold a bill for the prevention of bribery with another ; that com pleted the irony of tho situation. The Chancellor of the Exchequer seemed to be actuated by one idea, that of establishing a democracy led and guided by the landed interest. Instead of this bill settling the question of reform, it would in crease the agitation. General PEEL made light of the futile security of personal payment, and anticipating that it would be swept away the moment it was discovered there was any restrictive force in it, Mr. 0 LAD4TONE condemned Mr. Disraeli's amendment as the introduction of a new restric tion which had never existed since Sir W. Clay's Act was passed, and as savouring of class legisla tion. Admitting that the compounding tenant paid y warty the. lull rate Amway, he showed that • , ,is inuption de3troyed the principle of per* •••1' I :I•• ant: :• '; 0 1 why !.., great a illiference :•lioulet be mad.• between two classes of men who, it was acknowledgetl, bor.. the same !. , rden —tile one paving to the isillector, the ...net to the landlord. If the compounding system was to he broken up, it ought to he done in a straightforward manner, without any reference to the parliamentary fran chise, and. after dilating at large upon the social and ecoitomica'. conveniences of the Small Tene ments Act, he i.egued that the fine which it was sought to in0.)..11. (yr, the lanalord would speedily be transferri...l .rom him to the tenant. and pre dicted that the operation of the act would be to convert the landlord either into an enemy of popular enfranchisement or a corrupt trafficker in fa•••ait votes. The government might well have been contented with ..e restrictions of Sir William Clay's Act, under which he pointed out very few vet. rs had got on the register by their own action, and he concluded by a solemn warning to the house of the danger of creating :in impression in the public mind that it was paltering with the question in a double sense. Lord J. MANNER- insisted that the tendency of the plan of the government was to redress all in equalities it: the electoral system, and predicted significantly that Mr. Glalntone's real design of overthrowing the: hill, and throwing the question into its old unsettled state, would not be ratified by the countr.. - The amendinent was supported by Mr. Marsh, Mr. Greene, Mr. Kendall, and Mr. Goldney ; and opposed by Mr. Fawcett and Mr. Whitbread Mr. J. B. SMITH, speaking front the Opposition benches, ar4uc.l strongly against the compounding system, Wi he designated as a robbery of the parish, extolled the personal payment of rates as the best preventive of pauperism, and, deriding the argument that landlords would raise their rents, declared that he would take no part in a factious opposition to what lie believed. next to the total abolition of compounding, to be the best means of solving this difficulty. Mr. Lows, after enlarging on the capricious basis in which the bill as it now stood placed the borough franchise, depending on the will of local authorities, or on the disposition of the owners of blocks of entail houses, traced the history of the bill to show that its authors, intending first of all to give a democratic extension of the franchise, ac companied by such safeguards as the dual vote and the two years reddence,which they had been com pelled to abandon, had never contemplatedthe part the compound householder would play in this ques tion. If the discharge of public burdens was a title to the franchise, the compounder, who it was acknowledged paid the full rates, ought to be in chided ; for whether he paid it personally or by the hand of his landlord was a merely adventitious circumstance. The practical result of the bill would be that the landlord would be fined, and would therefore have an interest in limiting the extension of enfranchisement, and a franchise which depended on so many contingencies would not satisfy the classes interested. Personally, if the franchise was to be extended, he preferred some scheme like that suggested by Mr. P. Scrope. Mr. Balcurr's argument against the amendment was based chiefly on the unequal and unjust treat ment of the 170 boroughs where compounding pre vailed compared with the other 29 boroughs, and, as far as the intentions of the government could be ascertained, with the whole of Scotland and Ireland, where household suffrage would prac tically be established. He supported Mr. Hib bert's amendment as the best mode of remedyi ng these inequalities. Referring to Sir Wil liam Clay's Act, and other acts passed within the last 20 years, be asserted that parliament had always held compounders to 1* as good men as direct payers of rates, and illustrated a strong de nunciation of the unfair operation of the bill by the familiar comparison of its effect in Sheffield and Birmingham, in which last town, he repeated, it excluded 36,000 persons. The proposal to repeal the third clause of Sir W. Clays Act he warmly condemned, characterising it as audacious, and in sisting that the great majority of the 101. com pounders who were on the register got there by the medium of this clause, and if there were not more admitted it was owing to the neglect of the overseers. The bill, he asserted, would not stay agitation, and he concluded with a fervid exhorta tion to the house to deal with a question so inter esting to the people in a manner which they would acknowledge to be just and fair. Mr. Rot BUCK characterised Mr. Bright's parallel between Sheffield and Birmingham as a piece of stump oratory, and insisted that the country was sick and tired of these fantastic objections, the real object of which could not be concealed even by Mr. Gladstone's verbose declaration. at I 1 00104 100 1 Atlantic &Bt.

After some observations from Mr. HARDY, in answer to a remark of Mr. BRIGHT, Mr. HRADLAM announced his intention to vote with the government, and justified it by • re ference to former speeches, in which he had ad vocated a similar plan. The CHANCELLOR of the Ex , wzonza said the discussion had confirmed the government in their opinion that personal payment of rates was the safest basis on which to place the franchise, and he denied explicitly Mr. Lowe's suggestion that they had originally contemplated placing it on the mere bearing of public burdens. That was an important item, but the chief consideration was the perform ance of public duties, and compound householders they believed not to be in a position satisfactorily to discharge ,hose duties. The plan of the govern ment, he urged, offered a facile means of enabling the compounder to acquire a vote, and to fulfil the duties of citizenship ; and, after ridiculing the argu ments of Mr. Mill and Mr. Gladstone, founded on the facility the bill would give for corrupt dealings, he pointed out that it would give the compounder, at all events, a privilege he had never possessed — that of deducting the rate he really paid from his rent. In opposition to Mr. Bright's eulogy on Sir William Clay's Act, he quoted Lord Rus sell's decisive condemnation of the third clause, and animadverted strongly on Mr. Gladstone's charges of fraud in the conception and conduct of the bill. Passing from the amendment Mr. Dis raeli touched next on the political situation, and addressed a grave and weighty warning to the house of the critical consequences which would follow a defeat of the ministry. Mr. Gladstone had failed last year with his own bill and again this year with his alternative scheme, and the impending division would decide whether this government was to fail also, and in that case the question must be placed before the country without any plan or policy to guide it. The government had yielded wherever they could consistently with the main and fundamental prin ciple of the bill, and even at this last hour he ' cherished the hope that with the co-operation of the house the business would be brought to a happy termination. On a division Mr. Disraeli's amendment was carried by 322 to 256, showing a majority of 66 for the government, a result which was received with loud cheering by the government benches. The Chairman was then ordered to report pro gress house resumed, the other orders having been disposed of, the house adjourned at a quarter to 2 o'clock. EVA/COMICAL CONTINENTAL SOCIETY. —The an nual meeting of this society was held last evening in Exeter-hall. The Hon. and Rev. B. W. Noel presided ; and there were also present MM. lea pasteurs Saglier, Vernier, Doutrement, Rev. J. Shedlock, secretary, Mr. E. Pye Smith, treasurer. &c. It appeared from the report that the war of 1566 had given increased opportunities to the agents of the society. The annexation of Venice had not only enlarged the sphere of evangelistic effort, but had given additional securities for preaching. The society bail agents in Italy, France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Bohemia. The annual income of the society was 2,4557. Is. I I.L The meeting was addressed by the chair man. the French pastors present, and other gentlemen.

QUCIC V. BIGGAB AND WILLIAMS. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., moved for a rule calling upon Mr. Robert Biggar, the printer and publisher of the Railway riIN,. and Mr. S. D; Williams, the writer of a letter which :,peired in that paper on the Rind March last, to chow Laum why a criminal information should not be filed against them for libel. He moved, on behalf of Mr. F. Russell, M.P., and certain other gentlemen, directors of the Dublin Trunk Connecting Railway. In 1864, after an expensive contest, the promoters of this line obtained their bill, and certain arrangements of a financial charac ter were made. Mr. Moosell, was at the commence ment of the undertaking chairman of the company, but in 1866, becoming connected with the government of the day, Mr. Slomell resigned, and Mr. Rumen became the chairman. The company afterwards got into difficulties, and in 1866, which turned out to be a bad financial year, the directors, still believing it to be a good and sound undertak ing, and being unwilling to have the company wound up, consented to an inquiry being made into its position by the shareholders. On the :ilst January, 1867, a meeting was held, and a committee of investigation was appointed. The committee sat, and was assisted by the directors, and the committee drew up a report as to the financial position of the company. The directors, still entertaining their belief in the soundness of the undertaking, entered into an arrangement with the commfttee by which they undertook, in the event of the report not being published, to accept the shares of such shareholders as were ready to transfer them to them, together with their liabilities. That was assented to by the committee, and they recommended its adoption by the shareholders. It afterwards turned out that Mr. Lloyd, the eminent barrister, gave an opinion that the undertaking was illegal, and could not be carried out, and the consequence was, the directors informed the committee they could not fulfil their engagement. These circumstances gave rise to the letter in question. The letter was published in the Rail:son Times of March RI, and to it the editor appended the following note :—" We insert this letter, strongly worded as it is, in the belief that our correspondent is not merely sincere in his oppo sition, but well instructed in the causes that have led to it. He cannot be ignorant of the position in which he places this journal by the extreme pointedness of his re marks, in respect to which we shall be happy to insert any refutation or explanation from the directors with which we may be favoured." The letter was signed by Mr. Williams, one of the members of the committee of in vestigation. This letter extended over two columns of the paper ; and after alluding to the past and present posi tion of the company stated, with reference to the interest of the directors, that " out of 500 shares " which they held " 325 are what are called paid-up shares, no money having been paid upon them." "Of the directors. two had been promoters—one is manager at 1,0001. a year—so that what with directors' fees, manager's salary, premiums or advances, premiums as guarantors, the directors taking them in a lump have pocketed 1,0001. of the company's funds. Their stake in the scheme is of St negative quantity, somewhere between 5,0001. and 10,000/., or, to put the matter in another light, their stake in the concern is that they have drawn between 5,0001. and 10,0001. out of it." The letter also stated —" On the day after the agreement was concluded this bill of the Dublin Trunk Connecting for extension of time was introduced into the House of Commons ; it was read a first time on the day following I believe ; and it was not till the evening of the last day on which petitions against this mine bill could be received that this repudia tion circular was issued." The affidavits of the directors, and especially that of Mr. Rumen's, stated that they had not drawn anything out of the company. The court stopped the learned counsel, and stated that as the writer impaled downright fraud, the learned counsel could take a rule. I Rule granted. 1043 97 86 1 6 104 - 104/ 1 180 5 I 1 013-16 21 13-16 zd -. do lit CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Blackburn.) The trial of the prisoner Stephen Samuel Wales for felo niously and maliciously setting fire to his dwelling-house with intent to defraud the Western Fire Insurance Com pany of 950 f., was resumed yesterday, at 10 o'clock, before Mr. Justice Blackburn. The jury retired at a quarter to five o'clock to consider their verdict, and returned into court in about three quar ters of an hour and found the prisoner Chnlty. The learned judge, in passing sentence, said that the prisoner had been convicted upon evidence which had satisfied the jury, and which certainly would have satisfied him of the offence of wilfully setting fire to his dwelling house with intent to defraud the insuranoe compeer. It was not only a very serious offence in itself, but it was perfectly clear that those who were guilty of it were per fectly prepared to carry out their crime by systematic per jury. Under these circumstances, the least that he could do was to sentence him to be kept in penal servitude for 10 years. _ _ _ (Before the Common Serjeant.) John Green and Alexander Simpkins, two fashionably attired men, were indicted for feloniously stealing seven watches of the valueof tio/. from the dwelling house of Mr. George Skelton, a watch and clock maker, living at 43, St. Martin's-lane. Mr. Warner Sleigh conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Pater defended the prisoners. It appeared that on the afternoon of the 9th March last the prosecutor went out about 4 o'clock. leaving only his housekeeper, an elderly female named Fox, alone on the premises. Soon after he was gone a cab stopped at the door, and the driver desired the housekeeper, Mrs. Fox. to step to the vehicle to speak to some gentlemen in the cab. In the meantime two of the men had alighted, and while Mrs. Fox had gone to the carriage the two men evidently bad entered the shop and themselves of the property mentioned in the indictment. ale On turning her head she saw one of the men, whom she swore was Simpkins, standing in the passage, apparently coming out of the shop, and she at once seized him, sus pecting that something was wrong. The prisoner Simp kins said he had not taken anything, and threw her with great violence to the beck part of the shop. He then made his escape, and with the second man, who she believed to be the prisoner Green, ran away as fast as they could. The two prisoners were sworn to by Mr. Willey, a salesman living opposite, and by another wit ness, as having been seen with the third man loitering about the premises of the prosecutor for two hours prior to the robbery, and both these witnesses swore most pool. tively t.,their identity. The defence set up was an alibi as respected both the prisoners. The Common Serjeant most carefully reviewed the evi dence, and told the jury that the question was entirely for them. The jury, after a deliberation of a few minutes in their box, returned a verdict of Guilty against both the pri soners, whose antecedents were spoken to by Inspector Pallor, of the G division, and by Sergeant Gordon, of the C division of the metropolit►n police, against whom the prisoners levelled the foulest abuse. The Common Serjeant sentenced the two prisoners to be kept in penal servitude for the term of ten years. Tin FENIAN TRIALS. - DUBLIN, THURSDAY Nicarr.--Sereral persona of a very humble clam were con. vieted to-day under the Whiteboy AM. They bad taken part in the Tallaght riming. One was sentenced to three to 12, and one to 3 months' imprisonment. _ _ THE TAILORS' STRIKE.—We are requested to state that the report that at • meeting of the Masters' Association " a number of small masters urged that the claims of the men should be conceded" is erroneous. There was not ► shadow of difference of opinion amongst the masters. All the masters, large or email, were unani mous in their determination to resist the present attempt at coercion, and equally unanimous and equally resolute for the employment of none but non-union men for the future. PROTESTANT ALLlANCE.—Yesterday morning the members and supporters of this society met at a breakfast held at St. Jamees-hall, Piccadilly ; Mr. R. C. L Bevan, presided. Mr. J. Ma cg regor, the honorary secretary, read the report, whisk stated that the progrees of Romanian) in England, so far as could be estimated by the number of priests in England, had been greatly promoted since 1829, when Roman catholic@ were admitted into parliament, and a still greater impetus since the tractarian movement and the efforts of the ritualists to conform as much as possible to Romish doctrines and ceremonies which could be shown by the number of priests in England at the fol lowing periods:—ln 1829 there were 477; in 1841 there were 522 ; and in 1866 the number had increased to 1,415, During the twelve years from 1829 to 1841 the average increase was rather more than six per annum. During the twenty-five years from 1841 to 1866 the average increase had risen to upwards of 34 priests per annum. At the commencement of the year the committee issued 11,000 circulars to the ma gistrates throughout the kingdom respecting prison chap lains, and other matters especially important to them. A friend in Gloucester had given 150/. towards the education of young Englishmen and Englishwomen in protestant truth, which sum, with others, hail been distributed in prizes from 507. downwards to nineteen candidates. The report also went very fully into the subject of hospital nurses, and the introduction of Romish nurses into those institu tions, and the steps taken to prevent it, which, to a great extent, proved successful. An account was given of the proceedings in parliament relating to the work of the so ciety, and also of the lectures given on behalf of the asso ciation ; also a list of publications directed against Popish aggression. The cash statement showed—Receipts, 1,821/. 10s. ld. ; expenditure, 1,5531. Bs. Ild. ; balance, 267/. 11s. 2d., with a liability of 150/., which would leave a net balance of nearly 140/. Mr. Newdegate, the Rev. Dr. Chalmers, the Rev. Dr. Jobson, the Rev. Dr. Bea, and others, addressed the meeting. The report was then adopted, and the proceedings concluded with • vote of thanks to the chairman. The Poor-law Board have appointed Mr. William Peel, son of the Right Hon. Lieutenant-General Peel M.P., to be s poor•law inspector, in the room of Mr. N Edward Hurst, who has resigned. MARKET& TALLOW—Tti LOUT LIFININC.—rtte market mu quiet ta day. spot, at.

LACE AND HOSIERY —NOTTINGHAM, MAT 9.—ln the light and fancy departments of the lace trade we hare at lag to nonce a marked improvement In the demand for home markets, mused no doubt partly by the brilliant summer weather, and partly by the Introduction of more lace Into Indira h-ad dresses—bonnets they cannot be called.
