IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF 002010/1137—WanNzsDAT, Jirrrs lb. (Ceeeleded from yesterday's lexpreat:) FORFSITURA OF LANDS AND GOODS BILL, Mr, SWART moomied the motion, wishlag it every pee- Bible among. Itr• HURT said that the law which was aew sought to be abrqpsted had existed for massy centuries, and therefore be should like to hear some very good reason given before be cemented to its repeal. He admitted that there were puts of the law which might be altered, and if the bon. member had proposed a committee to consider what alteration wu neoessery he would have voted with him, but considering that the bill was a crude pieced legisistion, be would move that it be read a second time that day six months. The AI`TOENEY-GINF.IttI, said if they were called upon by the boo. member who brought forward the bill to commit themselves to the full length to which the preamble, literally interpreted, would carry them, he would hareems* hesitation is binding himself to that extent. (Bear, hear.) He understood, however, that his hon. friend was now only deeizous of having this principle affirmed, that the present law of forfeiture of Wide and goods was one which ought not to be m•intaioed, and required alteration ; not that it was absolutely necessary in all come to abolish the forfeiture of lands and goods, but that the present law was not suited to the times, and required at least a large mitigation and amendment. In that sense he would sweat to the second reading of the bill, on the understanding, however, I that they did sot pledge themselves to the m►nner in which that mitigation was to be carried into effect. If it was thought more desirable, se indeed he thought it was, that the matter should be taken up by the government, who could collect from all their worms of information the material. upon which to found a sound judgment as to the course h;islation should take, then he would promise that the subject should ramie* the mosseary attention before the nest sestmg of parliament (Neer, he•r.) Mr. WHITESIDE mid that the subject was fully con sidered by the late government, of which be was • member. In looking into the Matter, be referred to the arguments of Sir Samuel Hominy, to which he believed no answer could be given, against t►e present law. He did not think that the wit of man could suggest an argument for the for feiture of a felon's stood, Mr. HADFIELD mentioned • case which occurred in the time of Hairy VIII. , where a cook of the Bishop of Rochester bad pawned two fellow•servante, and an act of parliament was passed emoting that for such a crime committed in the house of • bishop the punishment should be greater than that for high treason. The penalty was that the offender should be boiled to death. (Laughter.) The cook was boiled accordingly. What be came of him afterwards he did not know. (Laughter.) The almond section of the set provided that the lauds of such • (Manisa' should be entreated by the lord of the fee. Be believed that this act was repealed last year. If so the lord bad lost his fee ; but what injustice was involved in this? (Hear, bear.) Another offence, once common in Lancashire, was witchcraft. (Laughter.) Witchcraft was a felony. A ease was on record of ten or twelve witches being tried for murder by incantation, and several of them were executed, and their land was forfeited. The offence and the forfeiture were abolished, and the crime being no longer cognisable by law it bad ceased. He trusted that parliament would also do away with this barbarous law of forfeiture. Mr. ROEBUCK believed that the pretest law was an unmitigated evil, because it created pains sad penalties without any corresponding benefit; but be agreed with the Attoroey.Goneral that the subject wee one of very pave im portance, and ought therefore to be dealt with by • government bill. (Hear, hear.) The government must not, however, little with the question, nod as public opinion demanded that this mischievous provision should be struck sat of the law, they could not hesitate as to the coarse they should adopt. For these reasons he recommended that if the bill were read • second time it should be tratellerred to the heads of the Attorney-Genenth (Hear, hear.) Mr. MARSH supported the bill. Mr. MALI SS rad there seemed to be a general cooeur recce of opinioe in the house in favour of the ball, and he had no hesitation in giving it his support. Sir G. GREY said his hon. end learned friend the Attor aim-Gwasral was ready to take the whole matter into octal. deration, end to obtaio all the information be could with a view to propose • bill oo the pert of the government. The Attorney-General bad distinctly stated that he speed to the principle that the property and goods of parlous convicted of felony should not in all cases be forfeited to the move and on th e understhoding that the preamble oely efii;oted that principle he would omelet to the second reeding. Mr. PACKE said they all wished to see some alteration in the law, but he would prefer seeing the matter taken up by the Attorney-General. He recommended the boa member for Walsall to withdraw the bill and leave the *ob ject in the hands of the government. Sir F. K hLLY thought the bill was • most excellent sod beneficial one, and should be sorry to see it postponed coal text session. There was so much uncertainty attending_ wen measure of law reform that be wee adverse to any delay in these matten. When the late govont ment were earned on the work of law reform this question was maturely considered, sod if a change of government bad not taken plan the alteration nese. proposal would have then been carried into effect. There might *e some doubt whether the abolition of the sysars. of forfeiture should apply to high ammo, but that pent could he discussed in committee. He hoped that the Ise. member would persevere with the bib and pass it through this house without deism. so that it might re ceive the Selletiell of the Moose of Lords and become law in the premed soaks of parliament. The amendment was then withdrawn, and the bill was ! read a second time. COSTS SECURITY BILL. The 'scald reading of the Security for Costa Ed! yes moved be Mr. BUTT, who stated that its object wu to ratios nth* impedimenta that sow existod to recovering debts be ve nous residing in England against debtors in Ireland, and 31r.VHITESIDE condemned the bill as mischi woos and unnecessary, end moved th►t it be reed a second ;Mae that day three months. The bill was also opposed by Mr. Vanes. and sari weed by the Soiicitor•Geoeral sad Sir C. O'Loghlen. On • division the second reeding wes agreed to I fp. 99 to 64. DODSON moved the second seedling of the (2iaatt. Votan' Registration BilloispLeinios the object of t I etude sun, the mein features of the emsodment be propos.st, and ita advantages. He admitted that the bill did not wi am the system perfect, and only palliated evils ; but it h sitbeeu drawn with great care, sod tt was calculated to .eff Ise very useful changes. 11r. HUNT satisatetl that ample time should be offended for noun:wing the measure, and that it should be sekrred to a select committee.. After some remarks by Mr. Collis; Mr. S. Bete out. and Mr. T. G. Wring. the ball was nod s secood time. SERVANTS HIRING (SCOTLAND) HI 111.„ On the motion for gores into committee on this bill, Mr. DUNLOP explained that the object of Us fan was to briar the legal effect of contracts between theaters and sarvente in Scotland is accordsoce with the umlerstanding between them at the time of hiring. It was proposed to make the period of bids; ale month instead. at six monde. The ease of farm servatta ha titoug)tiwas more. important than that of others: but be whited to say an once that be was sot prepared at present to preeathat par! Of the measure. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BLACK thought that if his boo. friend, had persa. voted with that part of the bill witizh be no wpiraporied as abandon, he would have deems great deal sad. Flut with reeoect to what remained be thought in would bear hardly ui oar female domestic servants. The Issoaledge on the part .1 masters and wryest@ that they mere oompided to live testher for six months very of ten led their mating up their cliff enemas and living amicably together. He oared that the house should go into committee, that day three months. Sir J. FERGUSSON said that statute fates, though giving rise occasionally to scenes of timpropristy, were yet a great boon to the respectable portion of the farm labourer.. Very of tea, when the farm labourer wasdischarged be his muter, he had no domicile to go to. He await) hope at tome future ocoutoo to move ac addilitorral provisioa be give an uniform date of commouceraest to mind were "H a d half ',Arty terms. Mr. CAI RD said he was of opinion that the system of small farming was not one of date is Scotland, sod was not likely to die out, though his hoe. friend, he thought, if be inquired further, would filed that he views we this subject would sot be bo rne out by experieace. Auy measure shich should tend to dissever the connexion between masters cud the married farm servitude should, ho thought, be ths rouraged. Mr. COCHRANE mid that the defect of the present I system nee that it was bisdisg aphid the employer, but not against the employed. He bad himself a keeper who wee • poacher—(laughter)--end having discovered the fact, he of course disutimed him on the spot. The man brought an action against him, cast positively be had to COM powad with the keeper by given, him wiz mouths' wage& ilainghter.) The argument of the hose gentleman (Mr. Black) would go to this, that • man should hire his Der. sant, for life—(laughter)—and thee his argument was there would be • happy family. He thought that the hiriog of servants for six months, sal the system of statute fain, were a disgrace to • civilised country. Mr. POLLARD-URQUHART approved of that portion of the bill which the bon. member proposed to rot-do, but doubted about the advisability of that part respecting farm orirmata which was to be withdrawn. After Nouse farther remarks from Sir M. S. Stewart, Colossi Sykes, sad Mr. Finlay, Mr. )(' NLOP said be should eoulider the suggestions that had bees made. It should be remembered that the -class of farm meant. to which he had referred was that of unmarried farm sermata. The smooths's, was then pot and negatived, and the Louse went into committee es the bill. The clauses having been agreed to, a new clause was edited providing Wit terms et heit7oerly Novice shook% in the 'teepee of as y agreement to the cookery, be held to bellesad sod es May 15 and November 11, and not on old Whitsuntide and Itartiamse days.

ELECTION PETITIONS BILL._ On the order al the day for thiiadjounted debate on the amendment on gobil into committee on this bill, Mr. COLLINS said the nasesurewonld not allow a person who had prosated • petition against an election to with draw that petition without assigning what was called rea sonable 011118 a. The meek we. that the parties ensuld be compelled to premed with petitions under eirminstanom in which, if left to themselves, they would withdraw them. He did not think it dselnble that such a providon should exist. Mr. HUNT &feudal the bill, but said he vim aware it woukl be klls to proceed with it at so advanced an boor. Sir F. OOLUSMID opposed the mesians, which was an attempt to obtain a pubbo benefit at the uprose of private interests. The bon, baronet was proceeding to address the house up to • quarter to six, when the din:sumo% award* to the rule. of the house, was adjourned. COUNTY CONSTABULARY SUPERANNUATION BILL Thu bill pared through committee. ELECTION OF POOR LAW 017ARDTANS. Oa th..,---.. emotion of Mr. Bairn, leave was gins to briar in a bill to empower the occapiers of small tenements in certain came to vote in the elections of guardians al the poor. The boom adjourned at ten minutes to 6 o'clock. 1 400 yards rang's, with • screen 23 yards in front, two targets 9by 8 feet being placed in rear of the mantelet to show hits. The Whitworth made in 3 rounds 24 hits on mantelet, 14 through, and 37 on target ; the Armstrong muzzle-loader, 15 hita, 1 through, and! on target ; the Armstrong breech loader 9 hits, 1 thr oon target. he guns being fired, two rounds direct upon the mantelet gave in hits upon the target behind, 216 for the Whitworth, 200 the Armstrong shunt, and 170 the breech-loader. . . . . Some important experiments were made with the new set of guns (June 7) to try the liability of the guns to be injured by the bursting of shell in the gun. Ten rounds of shell were ordered to be burst in the gun as near the seat of the shot as possible. The artillerymen succeeded in bursting 9 out of 10 in this way ; on examining the guns it was found that the Whitworth and the shunt gun had passed through the ordeal safely, but the breech-loader was much cut up in the grooving at the seat of the shot with the common shell, and further up the bore with the segment shell. The guns then fired 10 rounds of shot, after three trial shots, for accuracy at floating targets 6 feet square, when the Whitworth got six hits, the Armstrong shunt one hit, and the breech-loader two. This experiment is one that it would be well to make, as we have suggested above, with the old guns ; we should then see decisively which gun retained its efficiency best under all contingencies that could occur. As it stands the experiment seems to show what we before pointed out, that the breech-loader to a certain extent possesses the means of remedying injury to the flutes of its bore in the lead coating of t h e shot and shell, while any injury to the grooves or lands of the shunt must tell upon the accuracy of the gun. Nothing can be said sea to the effect of injury to the bore upon the Whitworth gun, simply because as yet the condition has not arisen ; but we conceive a bore of that form must have very con siderable aptitude for compensating any effect of irregularity in the bore. This, bowevor, is a point which can only be ascertained in the course of the trials for endurance which now remain to complete the programme of the 12-pounders. The firing with the 70-pounders was entered upon for range and accuracy on Friday last, beginning with 3 degs. of elevation ' and using solid shot. Before giving the results, however, it will be well to describe the guns. As in the case of the field pieces (12-pounders) these heavy guns, which are more especially regarded as naval guns, are not guns of the service ; they are all new in make, and, with the exception of one of the three shunt guns, all have a strong inner body of steel. Sir William Armstrong preferred to use the same metal as Mr. Whitworth does in all these trial guns except one, and this one, which is entirely of the old coiled iron kind, is reserved. It is admitted now on all bands that steel is the only metal of which to con struct the principal parts of a gun ; the difference of opinion being as to whether it is not the best for the whole gun, according to Mr. Whitworth, or whether combined with iron coils, according to Sir William Armstrong, arranged round a thick tube of steel. Formerly it might have been a question of economy whether steel or coiled iron were preferable, but now that steel fit for the purpose can be made and worked for very nearly the same cost as iron, there is scarcely room for doubt as to the choice of steel as the streager metal. • most absurd notion has been formed, that Whitworth guns made of homogeneous metal were necessarily all is one piece —a sort of chrysolite of steel cast whole, after the fashion of the eid iron guns. The term homo geneous refers solely to the metal ; the construction of the gun, as we understand it, remains almost precisely what it was as originally designed in 1662, when a similar gun was exhibited at the Inter ' national Exkibition. It is constructed upon the plan of layers of zings el steel folioed on over the mistral piece in which the bore is formed, and is ideaticalin principle- with the 12-peunders. It is flee inches is Galilee, with an increase of diameter where the angles of the hexagon am cut off ; its weight is 7.6. cwt., and it is., therefore, just about a ton lighter than the obi ft-pounder, and the shags, which a 101 b.., just Gila lees.

TRIALS OF THE ARMSTRONG AND WHIT WORTH GUNS. The Special Committee have now narrowed their inveetigation of the qualifications of the 12-poun ders into the question of eudurance. Almost every day donne the past week the three guns with which the experiments began have been fired from 100 to 150 round,, so that they have now endured a test more severe than any to which tield-pieces of that calibre are evor put m actual warfare. As far as we can leers, t he only guu which shows any serious signs of dateno. ration is the shunt or Armstrong muzzleloader ; i. u this, the hollowing of the grooves by the gases hes increased, and the friction of the projectiles has to.'d upon the bore to some extent, though the gun ha. I resisted destruction far better than an iron gum of any possible construction could have done, as ws t, ' be expected from the use of the homogeneous me tal or mild steel, of which the most important pan uf. the gun is made. The other Armstrong gun, the b reech-loader, is reported to be in perfect condition as to the polygroove bore, and no splitting of say . one of the three vent pieties employed has occurred. They have been re-vented just as the vent plug e t • the Whitworth gun has been renewed, but this is not considered to affect the question of endaran ce of the guns, as it is more a matter of fittings than of the gun itself. However this may be. leers must always be a reef great disadvantage economics Ily against the breech loader, as it has to be prov ided with three vent pieces each containing a it d part of the ilun, which is costly and difficult t o replace, es ally on foreign service, compared n ith the einem screw plug of the Whitworth unicilielt eider. Indeed, we imagine artillery officers are b eginaing to agree with their men sad many maim r artillerists, that a breech-loading field-piste has no advantages whatever.

Learugthe finehmeffieof the taiffieler endtirenee, the interest in which is now so rapidly culruinatieg, we moat glance at the practioewith alielh, which has been earns:kali iumag the. past wee7m, and is now, we believe, brought to smnOetiou.. As we have remarked, Bra itivestigatian. has arisen. col laterally with the trials of the Armstrong and : Whitworth gras, awl has properly little et no reference to the punts at isms between the throe system,. of artillery staler conadieration. We mart not for a moment meth°, hoarser, that them shell eaperiments have sue been of the utmost importance for the service. They man indeed be sag to have brought out in a amiclusese manner the superior efficiency of the Shrapnel shell which. Lient-Oulmial Boxer has perfected as the royal' laboratory at Woolwich. We can mile give a sum mary of the results of the concluding experiments with shell at 600 yards. with across to Mast the percussion shells placed at varying distances in advence of the three multi of tergete, so as to thew the onward course and seeead of thehalls,segmeees, and pieces of shell, the kriel of stalking being born t ree to six feet and user from the ground. suat i•eg the through hit. apse the tam ens, and not every piece which stuck in the beards or made a mark, the score was in ten remade at target, with screens 23 pads in front, Armstrong skeet muzzle-loader, hits through, 388 ; bresch-loader, 293 ; Whitworth, 350. In ten Tolima% with heisting screeea placed 50 yards in front, the score was—for the Armstrong shunt inuzzle-loader, 131 through hits ; the breech-loader, 91 ; and the Whitwortb, 224. In the same number of rounds with screen at 100 yards in advance, the through hits were, for the shunt, 43 ; the breech-loader, 34 ; and the Whitworth, 113. It will thus be observed that the Boxer shrapnel gains is efficiency as the dis , tanos from the burst is increased, consequently in 'tiring with time fuses and bursting short of the object, which often will happen in the field, this kind of shell is more than twice as destructive as the segment shell, or in figures as 113 is to 43 and 34 respectively. Allowing every bit, whether lodged or grazed, to the segment shell and the same for the Boxer shrapnel, the figures would be, foe the Boxer shell, 198 ; shunt segment, 183 ; breech loader segment, 121. The penetrating power of the Boxer shrapnel is also superior at the closer bunt of 10 yards, the throsgh bits being 603 for the Whit worth, 546 for the shunt, and 496 for the breech. loader, the latter having the advantage if every mark is counted, the proportion being then as 728 to 636. In subsequent trials at the lanher range of 800 yards this superiority was maintained. The average of shots sent through the targets each round being, for the Whitwortb, 62 ; shunt, 56 ; breech - loader, 48. The trials of the muse shell. against mantelets made of strong rope, suchen wens, found to be so efficient a protection to the Russian gunners at Sebastopol, were (meat intense. ing, and they still showed the great penetrating. power of the Boxer shell.
