E 4 IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—FRIDAY, Juin 1. The Loan Ciunceuan took his seat on the woolsack at 5 o'clock. The following private bills were read a third time and r"sed, vis.:—Slough Gas, Glasgow Houses of Refer, lUolobleter Ow" Tyne Improvement, Bristol and Perin heed Pier and Railway, and Midland Railway. FRN/AN AGENTS AMONG THE ARMY IN IRELAND. Lord DIINSANY roes to uk her Majesty's ministers whether they had received any information of the &cum stones eider which a man named Cryan O'Brien was as the 7tk instant, at Sligo Petty Sessions, sentenced to two months' imprisoement for the serious offence of endeavouring to seduce two soldiers from their allegiance and engage them in the Fenian conspiracy. Lord DUITERIN dated that the case to which atten tion had just been directed had been clearly established by the evidence, and undoubtedly the offence was one that demanded a severer punishment than bad been ac corded to it ; but at the same time the government were not urponsible for the coulee taken by the magistrates, who determined to take the OM under the Mutiny Act, andShere being a difference of opinion among the magis trates as to the amount of punishment to be awarded, it was decided to accord the lesser penalty, to which attention had been called. Directly the report of the inspector of constabulary was re ceived in Dublin the law ofseers of the crown gave it as their opinion that it would be desirable to send the came for adjudication at the assizes; but unfortunately it had already been dealt with by the magistrates, and there was no opportunity fur interference on the part of the govern ment. With regard to the reasons why more of the Fe nian agents bad not been convicted, he (Lord Dufferin) waennable to give • specific reply, but he assured the mobile lord opposite that no effort bad been spared by the government of Ireland to bring the offenders to justice. LANDED PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a second time. DRAINAGE MAINTENANCE (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was also read a second time. SELLING AND HAWKING GOODS ON SUNDAY BILL. On the resumption of the debate on the amendment to the third reading of this bill, Lord TAUNTON intimated that it was his intention to Vibe the sense of the house on the bill on the question that it do pea Lord REDREDALE said that since the last debate a deputation of tradesmen, who were very anxious that the bill should pass, had waited upon him and expressed their desire to have the 4th clause relating to the police, to which objection had been made, withdrawn rather than have the passing of the measure placed in jeopardy. In accordance with their wish, his would therefore move that the clause should be omitted. The LORD CHANCELLOR was very glad that the noble lord intended to withdraw the 4th clause. Since the matter was last before the house he had seen Sir R. Mayne, who had informed him that it would be most objsetionable to require the police to interfere in the manner proposed, and without precedent. After a long diacusaion The amendment was aireed to without a division. Upon the question. " that the bill do paw" Their lordships divided — Contents Not-contents The bill was consequently rejected. EXCHEQUER AND AUDIT DEPARTMENTS BILL. This bill was reed a second time. Their lordships adjourned at hall-past Berta o'clock. 40 69-29 HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FiuDAY, Jurra 1. The aPial.lll took the chair a few minutes before 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were reed a third time, and passed : Bak Valley Railway, Neath New Gas, Wantage and Great Western Junction Railway, and Wesleyan and General Assurance Society . NOTICE:3. LIMITED LIABILITY COM PANZER. —Mr. OTWA Y to ask on Monday whether the government will recom mend a modification of the law so as to permit limited lia bility companies to reduce the nominal amount of their capital. THIRD CL ANA TRAINS. —Mr. Alderman LAW Riegel to move provisions in committee on the Railway Clauses Bill for increasing the number of cheap trains, and promoting the comfort of the passengers. THE REFORM RILL. —A HON. MEMBER to move that Ashton be grouped with Staieybridge. THE SERPENTINE. Mr. R. LEWIS asked the First Commissioner of Works whether his attention had been called to the practice of permitting sheep to be washed in the Serpentine in the same spot where bathing is allowed ; and whether it was true that last year an express promise was given that the pollution of the water from such improper practice should not be again sanctioned. Mr. COWPER said the thingoomplained of was contrary to the regulations, and had taken place without per mission. THE CATTLE PLAGUE. Mr. G. LANGTON asked the Secretary of State for the Rome Department whether the government had deter mined what compensation should be given to owners oif stock for loss on cattle slaughtered by order of inspectors previous to the passing of the Cattle Plague Act. Sir G. GREY said the government was not in posses sion of the full information necessary to enable him to answer the question. A circular hail been addressed by the Privy Council to the different local authorities respect ing . the period between the '36th August and the 2.trd Nov. Tho circular asked for information respecting the date and place of the slaughter, the name and address of the owner, the description of the annual, and, if it had been pur chased within three weeks, the price paid for it, the market value of the animal, and the compensation that had been paid. Of the :rill local authorities in England and Wales, answers had been received from little more than one-half and from the 108 authorities in Scotland, answers had come in from only seven. From those answers it appeared that the compensation amounted to nearly one-third of the estimated market value. In answer to Sir J. PARINOTON, Sir G. GREY said that applications had been made to him from Cheshire for a loan on more favourable terms than was usually allowed—such loan to be repaid in 30 years, and to be secured on the county rate. He had re plied that under the peculiar circumstances of the country, the government would be disposed to ask parlia ment to make the grant, provided that the county would give some guarantee for the repayment of the instalments by levying some portion of the rate which it bad already made. VALPARAISO. Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what steps the government bad taken to obtain an explanation of the discrepancy which existed between the account of the British admiral on the one hand, and of the British merchants and the American com modore on the other, relating to the alleged offer made by the latter to co-operate with the admiral in resisting the bombardment of Valparaiso. Mr. LAVA RD said her Majesty's government bad taken no steps, nor did they intend to take any. No doubt his hon. friend had read the full and complete statement of Admiral Denman which bad been laid on the table of the house. He need only add that the government placed the fullest reliance on that statement, coming as it did from A British officer. (Rear, hear.) THE LONDON GAS COMPANIES. Mr. T.. 1. MILLER asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was his intention to bring in a bill during the present or the next cession founded upon the report of the select committee on the London Corporation Gus, Sim., Bills. Sir G. GREY said the report, which was not acoompr Illed with the evidence, contained some important sugger tions ; but it wean,' that there had been considerable difference of opinion in the committee. It would there fore be premature for him to state what course he should pursue, but he saw no reason to doubt that it would be right to act upon the recommendations of the committee. It would, however, be impossible to prepare a bill on the subject this session. FENTANISM. Sir W. STIRLING-MAXWELL having postponed a ques tion on the subject of Lord Lyon King-at-Arms, Sir G. GREY expressed., hope that Mr. Whalley would take a similar course. Mr. WHALLEY regretted that he was unable to do so ; and proceeded to move for a select committee to inquire and report as to the origin, object, and extent of the Fenian conspiracy now or lately existing in Ire land, and especially whether it was in any and what degree connected with any form of religious belief. The hon. member, amidst every conceivable demonstration of impatience on the part of the house, complained that at the moment the government were introducing into the Queen's speech a statement that the Fenian conspiracy was virtually suppreesed, they were receiving letters from the Lord-Lieutenant, informing them that the suspension of the habeas corpus would be necessary. The hon. member was about, amid continued manifestations of impatience, to read extincts from documents which he held in his hand, An liflif:MENDia TOW on the opposition side, and moved that the house be counted. (Cheers, and laughter.) Immediately on the motion being submitted the great ority of the members present rose and left the house. The SPEAKER app ea led to the hon. member for Peter borough, and expressed a hope that under the CirCUM. stances he would show some consideration for the feeling of the house. (Cheers.) Mr. WHALLEY said he would at once acquiesce in the suggestion made by the Speaker. He would not have brought forward the subject but for the challenge thrown out by the hon. member for Cashel, who had imputed to him that he had made assertions which he could not sub atantatte. The hon. member resumed his teat, and the motion was, by leave, withdrawn. ! It\ TVELEREPERSENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL. ' • • IfiIibRITRIBCTION OF SEATS BILL. — ADJOURNED DEBATE. On the gnosticat being pat, Mr. D. GRIFFITH presented • petition from Mr. John Perceval, (the son of Mr. Peroeval, formerly prime minister of this country),praying that in any furtheaextension of the suffrage to the labouring classes there might be some check enacted, by giving plurality of votes to those who had Sir, the proper time for declaring the inten tion of the government with respect to the motion of the hon. and gallant member for Wells will be when I have the honour of addressing the house in the debate, end I must request my noble friazd to have the goodness to wait until that period comes, in order to obtain such information as, in the exercise of the beet judgment we can form with respect to the performance of our duty fee the public inteeest, it may then be in our power to r ender. (lUmisterial cheers.) The debate was then adjourned until Monday. The rep orts of the resolutions on Industrial Schools (Expenses), and on Reformatory Schools ( Expenses) ware considered and agreed to. The Lunacy Acta (Scotland) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Indian Prize Money Bill passed through committee. The Lords' amendments to the Contagious Diseases Bill were agreed to. The Glebe Lands (Scotland) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Marriages (Sydmouton) Bill passed through com mittee. The house adjourned at twenty minutes past twelve until Monday. Su CAIRNS, who said that he, like Mr. Lowe, had endeavoured to discover the principle of the bill for the Redistrlbtition of Seats, and though he had hoped to have hail that difficulty solved by the Attorney-General, he had been disappointed, for all he had suited was that the bill adhered to the old marks and practices of the constitution. What ancient practice of the constitution consisted of grouping boroughs ? The grouped boroughs of Scot were brought into the imperial parliament with the union and had been grouped 150 years before. The boroughs in Wales were grouped JOO years beck ; and this was done with the view of obt iining borough representation. The only cases of group ing in England were two, Penryn and Falmouth, and Sand wich, and they were grouped for the same reason. There were three kinds of grouping—first, unrepresented bo roughs alight be group tor ar l c ii; unrepresented might be grouped with represented hs ; and re presented bo roughs might be put together. he two former operations might be wade for the purpose of securing borough repre sentation; but the latteroperatedas disfranchisement. This mode of grouping was new in itself, and vicious in its effects, as tending to expense it was non-natural, inhar monious, and in some cases caused antagonism between the boroughs ; while geographical convenience was curiously avoided. Seventy-nine seats would be dis turbed by the bill, only 31 were occupied by liberals, and 49 by opposition members ; while taking 8,000 population se the line of diefrenchisement, there were several boroughs with scarcely greater population retained two members, and these in the main were supporters of the government. No less than 39 members could have been got from boroughs with less than 10,000 population, returning two representatives each, without destroying their identity. He objected and argued against the giving of three mem bers to large constituencies ; and to the apportioning of seven English members to Scotland, urging that no reason sad been shown for depriving England of any of her mem bers. He also urged that the subject of boundaries should be dealt with in any plan of reform, and contended generally that these measures would unsettle much and settle nothing, Mr. AC LAND said that it was the duty of liberal mem bers to put aside all triflingobjections and assist the govern meet in the endeavour which they were making, at the end of fourteen years, to legislate upon instead of evadiog the question. (Hear, hear.) They all, he believed, de sired a settlement of the question, and it was the aim of the government to extend the franchise and to remove I anomalies, maiming at the same time as little alte ratione in the present balance of parties, and disturbing the present framework of the constitution as little as pos sible. (Hear, hear.) Far himself, he looked forward to a speedy settlement of the question, for he bad confidence in the result of the deliberations of the house, and in the influence of enlightened public opinion. (Hear.) Mr. B.COCHRANE believed that the bill would not be a settlement of the question. They had it on theauthority of the leaders below the gangway opposite that it would not be a settlement. The hon. member concluded by express ing his determination to oppose, in every way, the bill, which he believed to be fraught with danger to the con stitution. Mr. C. W. MARTIN said that, representing Newport, in the Isl. of Wight, one of the largest and most populous boroughs proposed to be deptived of one of its members, he was anxious to say a few words in order to explain why he intended to support the government. His hon. colleague on the other side of the house said that the constituency were opposed to the bill, but he begged to contradict that statemerit,becaue that part of the constituency who sent him there would heartily approve of the vote he was about to give. Mr. KENNARD said, as the other member for Newport, he might state that the party which he represented were dissatisfied with the arrangement of the government. (Laughter.) They thought that the Isle of Wight had not been fairly treated, and he might state that the opinions of his lion. colleague were not shared in by his (Mr. Kennard's) constituents. (Hear. hear.) Mr. LEATHAM believed that this was a conservative measure, and he had stated the same thing at the place where he lived. (Hear, hear.) He was in 18.i9 the victim of bribery and corruption, and anything which he could do to correct those evils he would do. The other evening an allusion was made to the borough of Huddersfield, which he thought was most unfair, for although a petition was presented against his brother in 1839 it was rejected, are! he came out of the inquiry free from blame. (Hear.) Colonel C. H. LINDSAY thought that the first thing that the government ought to have done was, not the extension of the borough franchise, but the ex tension of the borough boundaries. (Hear, hear.) The next item in the plan should be the redistribution of seats ; and the third, an amendment of the law as to bribery and corruption. He maintained that until they could amend that law it would be a very dangerous thing to reduce the franchise to those who would be more sus ceptible than their neighbours to corruption. Mr. A. PEEL was of opinion that as population in creased it was necessary to enlarge constituencies ; and unless it was proposed to add to the number of members of that house; it was necessary to have recourse to group ing ; and he also supported the plan of the government for ail. franchise, although he was prepared to go lower. Sir E. LECHMERE remarked on the anomalies which were palpable in the plan of grouping in the redistribution bill, especially dwelling on the incongruity of the group to which his own borough of Tewkesbury was subjected. Mr. HOLDEN, although a member fur one of the con demned boroughs (Knaresborough), was prepared to sup portthe government measures on the ground of the public good. Major JERVIS was surprised at last to see members behind the government rising to support their measures ; hut he was not surprised at hearing each of them prac tically condemn them. Although a member for a small borough, he did not desire to speak on the sudject of small boroughs, but on the ministerial measures generally, and he declared his disbelief in the honesty and good intentions of that bill ; and he should op pose them, though always ready to support • good measure for the extension of the franchise. He objected to the grouping of Harwich with Mal don on account of physical and geographical difficulties. He urged that whereas the ostensible object of the hills was to bring the working man into the enjoyment of the franchise, and even its concomitant membership in that house, its operation would be practically to throw obstacles in the way of their attaining those objects. The LORD ADVOCATE put it that long as had been the time during which the house had been discussing the question of reform, it would not be easy for the country to emir to a conclusion as to what their opinions really were on that subject. In the present debate there had been no consideration of principles, but details, which ought to have been dealt with in committee, had been minutely discussed. The question of the grouping of boroughs did not involve any vital principle, but was, in fact, a matter of detaiL The right hon. gentleman pro ceeded to reply to some of the arguments of Sir 11. Cairns, and especially showed that Scotch boroughs were not grouped for the purpose of extending, but for diminishing representation, and the same principle was sought to be applied to small English boroughs which were now over represented. As to the geographical difficulties which had been named as objections to the proposed grouping, none of them would compare with those which existed in Scotland, and they had been found no real obstacle to the working of the system. As to corruption. the junction of two or three towns must surely tend to diminish that. He contro verted the insinuation that in disturbing the existing system of seats the government had exhibited partiality to the constituencies which returned members of their own political persuasion. As to giving a third member to large constituencies, there was a new-found alarm that it was a step to universal suffrage, whereas the plan was not new, and had in practice not worked badly. He argued in favour of an extended franchise, saying, in reference to the objection that it would lead to democracy or govern ment by numbers, that the House of Commons was the en:bodiment of democracy and government by numbers. Lord J. MANNERS moved the adjournment of the debate. Lord ELCHO—Sir, I wish to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether in the event of the amendment of the hon. and gallant member for Wells being rejected, itis the intention of the government to proceed with the bill tow before the house, and endeavour with theirwhole power to carry it dining the present session. I ask this question on behalf of gentlemen who at a great sacrifice, but in obe dience to public duty, have felt themselves bound to place themselves in opposition to the proceedings of the government on the question. They have no 'wish, I am sure, to place the government in • difficulty that can pos sibly be avoided, and if it is not the intention of the government to persevere with the bill, no good purpose can be served by forcing those gentlemen to vote against the government (Hear, hear.) It is currently reported and believed in the house that the government do intend to withdraw, and not proceed with those bills in the event of their having a majority in the approaching division. Now, if this be so—if such be the intention of the govern ment, it ought to be announced at onee—(eheen)—in justice to those gentlemen who, as I rid, from a strong sence of duty have felt themselves bound to place them selves in opposition to the government, although still b !longing to the samepsrty. ("Oh, oh," and "Hear, hear.'') The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—Sir, it appears to me that if my noble friend found himself under the obligation of putting a question of an unusual charac ter upon the motion for the adjournment of the debate, he certainly would have done well to have conveyed to the government his intention of putting that question. (Cheers.) It is not, however, simply on the ground of his having failed to give any intimation of his intention that I wish to found the answer which I shall now give. Sir, I know nothing whatever of those rumours, or of the belief to which my noble friend has referred, nor do I know what are his means of information. Him sources of in formation he knows better than I do—(a laugh)—but as I know nothing of those rumours or of that belief, and as I confess I am extremely sceptical with regard to their mirreney—(oh, oh)— I am unable to afford any satiafactioa to the curiosity of my noble friend in regard to the question which he has put. (Cheers.) • „ . . 1: • • r . TRE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING JUNE 2, 186 6 Ir. Latta intaltfract. BAIL COURT. —JuNs L fatting. at Nisi Pries at Westaninster.—(Before Hr Justice Lush and Common Juries.) PARR V. ILLUS. — LLB/M. This was an action for libel brought by Edwin Parr, the celebrated trainer, against the Daily Telegraph. The de fendant pleaded not guilty, and that the words were not used in the sense alleged. Mr. Huddleston, Q. and Mr. F. H. Lewis were coun sel for co t u h n elaintiff ; Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Sleigh were for the defendant. Mr. Huddleston, in opening the ease, said the plaintiff had felt bound to bring this action in ceder to vindicate his character from the serious pd which the d e f en dant bad cast on it, and he not help thinking th a t when they heard the case they would agree with him in thinking that the defendant ought, as the proprietor of a respectable journal, to make the only reparation that was now in his power, byre tracg the insinuation, and apol • • for what had been pu blished . The action was only brought to vindicate the plaintiff's character, and he was then ready to accept an apology, with such damages as would carry cos ta. The plaintiff was a well-known cha racter, and it would appear that in 1864 Lord St. Vincent whose trainer the plaintiff was at that time, p urchased a n Irish horse, Roden, for 650/. The horee wa s trained by the plaintiff, and during 1866 he won no lees than 2,530 f. in various stakes. In August the plaintiff left Lord St. Vincent, and on the December 12th December th er e appeared in the Daily Telegraph an article head " Sporting Intelligence—Turf Topics and Derby Cracks," and in it was the following, which was the libel com plained of:—" Redsn is a horse whose merits have not been properly appreciated by either the public or the backers of horses. He is undoubtedly one of the moot co mpact and neatest and racing-like Derby colts we saw out all last season. Every inch a sta y er to look at, and sure to be there or therea bouts on the Derby day if he does well through the winter months. During the summer he ran with varied success, but there is more than a suspicion that he was never half trained, and that Parr's pills and Telsoornbe cookery (the learned counsel explained that Telsoombe was Lord St. Vincent's training ground) had prevented Lord St. Vincent from landing several bandsoue stakes. Nevertheless Roden, when only just coming into his proper form at Doncaster, ran a great horse with Lord Lyon, and it was urged that he would have snatched that race out of the fire had a man been on his back instead of a fashionable light weight." The learned Judge suggested whether the matter could not be arranged. Mr. Hawkins said it never was intended that the words should convey an imputation of fraud. The learned Judge said that might be so, but still it was for the jury to say whether the words conveyed some imputation which was liable to injure the plaintiff in the way of his trade. Mr. Charles Betts, a musician, and friend of the plain tiff, was called to prove that be read the article in ques tion, and that he considered it reflected very much on the The witness was subjected to a long and humottrous cress examination by Mr. Hawkins. The plaintiff, who it was stated was unavoidably absent, could not be called, neither could Lord St. Vincent. Mr. Hawkins then addressed the jury in mitiga tion of damages. He urged that it was worse than idle to suppose that any fraudulent imputation was intended. The writer had only made a fair com ment upon racing matters, and had only at the most said that something seemed not to agree with the horse, which after all was a mere matter of opinion. It did not impute any improper conduct to the plain tiff. The term Pares pills was only a skit upon the plaintiff's name, and every one knew that Parr's pills possessed wonderful powers, especially with regard to lon gevity. It was certainly strange if the publication of the article had damaged the plaintiff's character that no evi dence had been given in support of it. The learned Judge, in summing up, said that editors of newspapers and others might comment on public matters, and also upon the supposed capabilities of a racehorse ; but if they imputed improper motives they were liable to an action for libel. The first question for the consideration of the jury was, whether the defendant intended to im pute fraud to the plaintiff. The jury, after retiring for half an hour, said they did not believe there was any intention to impute fraud. The learned Judge asked them if they thought the article imputed incompetency or negligence on the part of the plaintiff, in which case they would assess the damages. The jury found that point in the affirmative, and assessed the damages at 40s. The learned Judge then directed a verdict to be entered for the defendant, with leave to the plaintiff to move to amend, or to enter a verdict non obstante veredicto. PROM LAB! rAZETTE.

Elizabeth Jaelams Harding, a respectable-looking woman, was charged with wilfully breaking some drinking glasses at the house of Ellen Allen, 20, Cumberland-street, Pimlico. Mr. Lewis, sen., solicitor, on the part of the accused, said that there was no complainant present, but on public grounds he thought it his duty to state the circumstances. His worship was probably aware that a charge had been made two days ago at the Marylebone Police-court against a gentleman named Mosely, by Ellen Allen, for an inde cent assault in a carriage upor. the railway. Mr. Mosely was discharged from imputation, and a summons had since been issued against Ellen Allen for perjury. When Ellen Allen was asked where she lived she said 112, Warwick street, and that was the residence of Mrs. Harding. Ellen Allen had gone there and said cursorily that she had given her address to a person 112, Warwick street, and that she should be obliged if a letter came by Mrs. Harding taking it in. When Mrs. Harding found to her surprise that the false address had been given on the occasion of preferring the charge against Mr. Mosely, she was indignant, and Ending her real address to be 20, Cum berland-street, Pimlico, went there the previous night to ex press her feelings. An altercation occurring, two or three things were knocked down, and then Mrs. Harding was given into custody, but now there was no appearance. It was most essential to become acquainted with the antecedents of the woman who bad preferred this dis graceful charge, and be had already received a letter upon the subject. Mr. Belle observed that 20, Cumberland-street, was well known at this court. THE CATTLE PLAGUE.

THE CONSOLIDATED BANE.—We understand that the Manchester directors of the Consolidated Bank are earnestly engaged in devising means whereby the Man chester business of the bank may be re-organised, and that they are most anxious to do all in their power to mitigate the inconvenience arising to their customers from the stoppage of the bank. It is now generally understood that the Manchester board were not consulted with re ference to the suspension, or the unfortunate circumstances which preceded it. Should a re-organisation take place, we believe it will be entirely independent of any oonnexion with the London establishment ; and no doubt the share holders and depositors will be consulted at an early date upon the subject.—Mawassfer Examiner. • • ;I 1932 (Signed) WILLIAM CLODE, Superintendent.
