The Royal Cominimioners ware the Lord Chancellor, t Duke of Argyle, and Lord Wensleydale. THE CONFERENCE. Earl RUSSELL-1 had the honour some time since to Inform your lordships that by this time the Conference would most probably hare laid the basis of the preliminaries of peace, or that the resumption of the war would be proceeded with at the termination of the armistice. lam sorry to say that the latter alterna tive seems now the most likely to take place. On Monday sant I shall lay on the table of this house, by commend of her Majesty, the protocol of the Ceoferenoe, and in liking so I shall state what has been the general mune of the nego tiations. BRIBERY AT ELECTION& Lad BROUGHAM asked leave to introduce a bill for the prevention of bribery at electious. From the virront spaptoms of the political world he inferred that • germs) otion was probable this yaw —it was at all mats oertain the next, and therefore the preheat was a mast suitable time for endeavouring to check eleolaral conniption. It bad been asserted that that bones should net take the initiative in such a question, but they should remember %hat the greatest of t h e bribery area, the god George IL, received the most important alterations eves in the mat► ekuses in that hour.. Ravin cited numerous eases of bribery, amongst others that of a borough of MO electors cif whom MO received id:. each had money, the noble mud learned bred concluded by laying the bill on tie table. T. BERNARD'S REFORMATORY. Earl GRAN VILLE reed • letter from Mr. Sydney Tamer, school sad reformatory itiopecter, in reply teen amortise of Lord Beeners, made en • fortneresening, Is the effect that his (Mr. Tunnies) import coati cot be depended es, in samucbus that be bad not obtained his information either from the =entre/neer the race. The writer went on I. say that be bad has particulars from the superintendent of the Aekby Ae to the magistrates, the truthet Mr. Tarns?. report having been admitted by the managers of the reformatory, se appeal to them was neceseery. Mr. Turner thought he hail fair /rounds for concluding that the school outbreak wee socideetal sod out arising from a cor rupt and insufficient system of discipline. In conclusion he comtfaiDed that the charge of Lord Bergen against his in ns* was inscoseato. FACILITIES FOR DIVINE WORSHIP IN MLLE COATE SCHOOLS BILL 'lke Bishop ef OXFORD, in moving the second reading of this bill, said he had been asked to undertake its carriage by the incumbent at a large perish in him own diocese. This gentleman was at once incumbent of the parish, patron of the living , and founder of • large chartered school. In We three-fold capacity be suffered some convenience, which wee sought to be removed by this bill. He had submitted the bill to both houses of convocation, and to both it bad been approved. Its objects were two. fold—tint, to allow the bishop to license one master in priest's orders to perform divine service in the chapel of the school, ad to administer the merriment to the inmates. At present there was great inconvenience to the pariabioaers, who were completely ousted from their church by the large number of boys attending divine service, and it was desirable that whilst the latter had full facilities for religious dutiee, the rights of de parishioners should not be interfered with. Be believed. from many years' experience, that no evil could arise from the erection of • chapel in connexion with the erhoola. The other provision permitted—subject to the consent of the bishop and the parish clergymen--the use of the perish church at times when it was not required for the prochial services, pending the erection of the school chapel. ii these observations he asked their lordships todiermit the second reading of the bill. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved its rejection, and it was opposed by the Lord Chancellor, Earl Grey, sad other pima, but it was eventually read • mod time. BEER-HOUSES (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read • second time. COUNTY CONSTABULARY SUPERANNUATION BILL. This bill was also read • second time. VACATING OF SEATS (HOUSE OF COMMONS) BILL This bill passed through committee.

The house was summoned to the House of Peers, to ham the royal meat given by 00171111i1.6011 to severs! bills, for which see Lords' report. At twenty-five minutes past 5 o'clock Lord Palmerston entered the house, which was unusually crowded, and was received with loud cheer, from the ministerial side. These were followed by ironical laughter from below the gangway on the opposition beeches. PARK-LAIC E. Sir J. SHELLEY gave notice that, on Monday next, he should ask the First Oommianiooer of Works whether it was intended to adopt acme measures to relieve the crowded state of Park•hos. RIFLE BUTTS. Sir S. NORTHCOTE asked the Under• Secretary of State for War whether Ins attention had been called to the situa tion of the butt which bad been erected for ride practice near the New Croydon Railway, between the Streatham common sod the Thoroton•heeth stations • and whether the War-office were satisfied that the range c ould be used with out danger to the public. The Marquis of HARTINGTON replied that the ride range in question had been examined, as all ranges were, by an officer, who reported eatiafectonly upon it, and stated that it was safe. The railway comptey was also consulted as to the arrangements prepared for the safety of the trains, sad no objection had been raised oath within a very few days ago, when Mr. Richards called the attention of the War Department to the alleged danger to the railway. It waa immediately arranged that as assistant-inspector of volun teer, should proceed to reinspect the range, sod he would have goes down that day hut Mr. Wilmette could mot have met him. The amistant-iosoector would, however, go down to-morrow, and meet Mr. Richards and several volunteer ofikeue, sod inspect the butt. THE MARCH WOOD POWDER MAGAZINE. Alderman ROSE asked the Under Secretary of State for War what was the actual quantity of gunpowder stored at Harrah wood magazine ; and if he had the opinion of com petent military officers as to the safety of Southampton in the event of an explosion of this ruagatine. The Marquis of lIARTINGTON mad the quantity of (=powder at present stored at Marchwacal was 50,000 tons. It was not stored in one magarree, but is seven separate magazines. The greatest quantity is say esis of them was 16,000 barrels, Refers the hoe, member gave notice of his question, in consequence of some apprehension that existed la the miodsof the peopk of Southamptom a report was celled for from Colonel Gordon. commanding the Engioesre, the principal officer of artillery, and the storekeeper, as to the safety of the magazine at Ilarcbwood, and they stated they bad examined it very minutely, lied they were of opi- MOU there was no place where pew&r might be stored with greeter safety than at Marcherood. It was s mile and a half from Southampton, in a district sot very densely populated, and there =re so houses near it except those occupied by government officials. (Laughter.) The most stringent regulatiows were in force ; they were ter more strict than those applying to private magazines ; sod from the pceitioo of the magazines and the excellent manner in which they were managed be thought there was uo reason to apprehend any danger. (Hear, bear.) FIELD ALLOWANCE ON THE GOLD COAST. Cameral PEEL asked the Under Secretary of State for War, is reference to his statement that the troops landed from the Ifega.ns iu August, 1863, on the Gold Coast, were sot intended to wage war spinet the King of the Ashanteca, whether those troops bad not drawn field allow. ance before they ended from Jamaica ; and, if so, on what grounds it had been granted to them. The Marquis of HARTINGTON said that the troops which ►ended from the Mega's., on the coast of Afnce, from the West Indies. bad not drawn field allowance before they left Jamaica. Colonel Course leaded in August, and in September he acquainted the War Department that as it was probehle the troops under his command would have to take the field, be had auctioned the issue of field allow. Sacs, sod also permitted the men to draw it from the day of their embarkatiou. It was, perhaps, somewhat irregular to do so ; titers was some little deo..e whether the este-damn of the allowance should he permitted, but under all the ter. cumataeces it was permitted. The allowance was drawn by them from the day of ninbarkstioo, but it was not until the 7th September that Colonel Couren acquainted the War Department that he had sanctioned it. ROYAL FORESTS (ESSEX). Mr. COX salted o'63ft-rotary to the Treasury whether any atop had been takes to CSIITy into effect the 1110001111011. dation of the select committee on Royal Fererte (Lee:), presented ou the 9th day of Jane, Iteli, which rectoniansa dation was as follo•s: —•• Your committee report that • oonsiderable extent of ground ban been enclosed without any consideration being paid for the forestal tight of the crown over them, which do Dot appear to have been either purchased or redeemed; and your committee recommend that immediate steps be taken Ly the mown to area it. right sad to abate such enclosures." Mr. F. PEEL said this was ate of several recemmeada time made by the committee which no eters had yet been trine to tarry out, bat the subject was generally receiving the siteetion of the Treasury.

(Oberon.) Mr. HIIMT-1" weld ask the noble lord whether the Conferees* will meet on Worley to deliberate, or only to go through a mere formality? I think we in this house me entitled to know whether, when the Conference meets en flatarday, it will to merely to take some formal steps, or to rautinue its deliberations. Lord PALMERSTON—I have slated that in my opinion the meeting on Saturday would probably be the deal meet tag the Onference. It is impossible for me to say what pass at a meeting which ha not taken place, but I have state] that au Monday I shall lay upon the Stable a report of all the proceeding' of the Ooofereuce, accompanied, I hope, by the proceedings of fiaturday. ]lr. LICSA LBLI—I conclude from what the noble lord says that the documents he proposes to lay upon the table will be is the bands of members on Tuesday. Lord PALMERSTON —Certainly. I apprehend they will not only be laid on the table on Monday, but will be distributed to members on Tuesday morning. That is my WEIGHING OF GRAIN (PORT OF LONDON) BILL. The vest majority of the house then went to dinner, sod the remainder proceeded to consider the second reading of the Weighing of Om (Port of Loodoo) Bill, which was moved by Mr. R. W. CRAWFORD, one of the members for the City. The hoe. gentleman urged that the corporation ware entitled by prescription, ancient charter, and usage to levy certain fees on the weighing of all the grain that came into the port of London, and that, as the measure essentially affected the public interest, it ought to be treated as • public and Dot as a private bill. Mr. AYRTON moved as en amendment, "That, inas much as the bill sought to enlarge and alter the powers of the corporation of the City of London to levy • rate or duty, and to alter existing rates and duties, on grain and seeds imported into the port of London for the we sod benefit of the corporation, the haw was of opinion that the bill ought not to be roceeded with until the standing orders relating to private bills be duly complied with." He urged that the corporation had betrayed the interests of tifellowship porters, under the pretext of protecting them —that its proceedings in coooexios with the metage of the port of London. and in many other respects, was tainted with malversation and fraud, and that after the many expressions of opinion by the Howe of Common that the corn dues should 0n.., parliament ought not to sanction another bill to continue the monopoly. He feared, how ever, that the obstructive dining power of the corporation was such as to neutralise the opposition of independent members' of parliamoit. Colonel WILSON PATTEN naked the Speaker to decide whether the MU ought to proceed as • public or private CSC . . — The SPEAKER said there were many preeedente for treating it ea a public bill, but that he thought it ought to be referred to • select committee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER agreed with the tight bon. potiemao, and raid the government were determined to treat the bill on its menu only. Mr Alderman ROSE defended the oorporatioe from the charges el M r. Ay rim. After mese debate, Mr. AYRTON withdrew hie amendment, and the bill wee reed a sewed time with a view to ita being referred to • meted committee. IRISH NATIONAL EDUCATION. The adjourned debate on Sir Hugh Cairns' motion, taking objection to certain assistance afforded under the rules of the Board of National Education in Ireland to convect and monastic schools, was resumed by the O'CONOR DON, who spoke at some length against the motion. Mr. BLACK said there could be no doubt that the fundamental principle of the national system in loilsod had been violated by the rules of the 40111111111111000114 whom he would now recommend to retrace their steps. Mr. HENNESSY contended that, in the tea of the opposition which the system had encountered in Ireland, it was impossible that it could ever be successful, and moved, es as amendment, to omit the words relating to convent and monastic schools from the resolution, in order to make it general in terms. Mr. BLAKE having seconded the amendment, Sir 8.. PEEL expressed a items opinion in favour of the national system of education as administered by the commissioners and observed that if ever he bad called anything connected with it in question it had been solely from a desire to maintain the institution in its integrity upon the basis on which it was original) y established— namely, the social regeneration of the people. It had en countered difficulties of no common order, but it bad sur mounted them all. If, however, the mixed system were to be substituted by sectarian yenta,' blow would be struck at the very root of the system, for it would be contrary to the very idea that bad animated its (minders. With regard to convent schools they were a part of the national system, with which they had been connected since the year 1835 ; they had worked well, and had 40.000 children attending them. Os the whole, be argued that the system of national education bad acted in hammy with the wants, wishes, and feelings of the people of Ireland. Mr. G. HARDY said that the children who were edu cated in convent schools were, in fact, coder a denomina tional system, for their teaching was entirely denomina tional and sectarian, end it was these schools that bed been destroying the district model schools. He was imprison that the Chief Secretary had held out no hope of a remedy being proposed to meet the evils that were complained of, and recommended the institution of an inquiry into the whole system by means of a royal commission. The debate was continued by Mr. Maguire, who sup ported the amendment; Mr. Batt, who opposed both re solution and amendment; and Mr. Leßoy, who supported the original motion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER argued that the history of the national system of education in Ireland was that of a eerie* of modiScations, the object of which was to conciliate, support, and make the system as univer sally sooeptable as possible, and he domed that any excep tional favour had been shown to convent schools. The same favour had been offered to other schools, and accepted by the priebyterians ; end if it had been refused by the Episcopalians, they had themselves only to blame. Sir H. CAIRNS Morin replied, The hones divided : For Mr. Heonsisy's amendment 8 Against ll2-101 The house then divided on the original motion. When the division paper was about to be handed to the teller, An HON. Miarava said—Mr. Speaker, I have to draw Duyour attention to the fact, that the bon. member for odalk gave his voice for the " Ayes," and voted for the "Noes." The SPEAKER—The vote of the boo. member for Dundalk baa been challenged oa the ground that he gave his voice in one way, and voted in another. Sir G. BOWYF-11. eame forward to the table amid coosi derable laughter, and amid :—Mr. Spesker—Wheo you put the quadiou 1 rid "so." but I admit that dterwsrds to ewers a division said Tee." (Laughter.) The SPEAKER—The rote of the boa member most be changed and recorded amongst the "Ayes." (Much laughter.) The numbers were then annouseed— For the motion Agaitet The motion was scoorduagly lost. The rentainiag orders were disposed of, and the hone* adjoureed at 10 minutes past 2 o'clock. - - - - - LAW INTELLIGENCE. EQUITY COURTS.—Join 23. (Before Vioe-Chnooellor /Lindenlay.)

THE KEARSAGE, TBE ALABAMA, AND THE BRRRARPM Hr J. HAY asked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether the attention of her Majesty's government had been drawn to the report of an action which took place last Sunday hotness the United States frigate Leann, and the Confederate ship Alabama ; and whether they had considered the report of the theemaadthin-ehiell at Devon put on the preparation for battle of her Majesty's skip Research ; whether, as the tut-named report showed that this class of ship would net ight her guns with advantage., and the first-mused report showed that the would . 7,1 be destroyed is action, her Majesty's governeseth sentinue to bead ships which oral not lie expected either to fight or swim ; end further asked, es the edge*. tags of gem of large calibre had hems so eked, &ewe ia the above-nthied action, whether her Majesty's government would at ewe obtain a proper supply of drags rifled grans for the service of the navy. Lord C. PAGET said in answer to the question of the hoc. antipasti% member he hl to state that the Admi ralty hod eonaidered, what be *apprised esery ow else bad, the whoa between the Hearesge aod the Alabama, which took Parse lest Sunday, and that& bad no reference what ever to the qualities as to the Research. (Hear, hear.) They bad likewise considered the report of the commander•in. chief at 'Davenport. That evert west to the fact that there was not room sough in the Research to work the guns, in consequence of the funnel and wheels being within the battery. They were taking steps to remove these, which were mere matters of detail—(hear, hear)—and he had no reason to believe there the any disiatiafaction with the Research. He was on board her a few days ago, when he asked the captain, a young , active, intelligent caw, if he was satia ted with her fightiog qualities, and was informed that he was perfectly satisfied. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the comparison drawn by the hom end plaint member between that vessel and the Alabama, perhaps the hoc, and gallant owes was not aware that the Alabama was a wooden ship and the Research was armour• plated, and that therefore there weld be no comparison between them. With regard to the fur ther question as to whether the Admiralty would coetinue to build 'hire which could thither tight nor urim,theAdmiralty had no such intention. (Laughter.) Whet be could state wee that these vessel, were undergoing a fair trial, and he asked for them fair play. (Cheers.) He asked fair play for soother experimental ship that was going out in a few days for trial, namely, the Royal Sovereign, which had been de signed by that talented °Meer. Captain Coles. (Hear, hear.) He should be happy to give the house at a later date the practical results of these trith. As to the question respecting guns, the hoc and gallant member must be perfectly aware that the Admiralty were taking steps to obtain heavy guns. The hon. and pliant officer was him self present the other dayat Shoeburyoess, where the average weight of shot used was 167 lbs., and the average charge of powder 30Ibs. The heaviest charge was as high as 5011 n., and the weight of the shot about 300ths. They bad ordered &considerable number of 101 inch-guns, thruriog 1501 b. shot smooth bore, and likewise a large number of 7-inch rifled 100 pounders, and the Royal Sovereign, the Priors Albert, and Minotaur would go to sea with 12 is guns carrying 10j inch shot. TRIAL OF HEAVY RIFLED GDNS. MONSELL eaked the Under Secretary of &ate for War what was the canes of the delay in the competitive trial to be made by the Ordnance Select Committee of the heavy rifled 'gnus au ,an 'Pans now lying reedy at Woolwich ; and whether there was any reason for delaying the trial until the extended trial, by another committee, of the Armstrong and Whitworth systems, wee brought to a coachmen The Marquis of HARTLNGTON said the experimental satablishment at Shoeburyeess was almost eotirely occupiel with the contest between the Arinstroos sad Whitworth guns. and it was unite imporible far the Ordnanos Select Committee on heavy rifled guns to cony on their experi ments at the same time at Shoebaryaesa. A proposal had, however, hese made to the Horse Guards to allow garrison practice with these guns at the short ranges at Woolwich, but the it:Tenements on the subject had not been com pleted. OFFICERS ON THE GOLD COAST. Mr. LONGFIELD asked the Under Secretary of State far War if assume oonaderatioo which was shown to the relatives of officers who fell in battle would be extended to the relatives of those officers who lost their lives in the late campaign oe the Gold Coed ; and if the purchase-mosey for the commission of the late Major Merrick would be returned to his representatives! The Marquis of HARTINCTON sand that the warrant respecting pensioss wily referred to officers who aetaally died in action, or of their wouods within air months sub sequently, and Captain (not Major) Merrick having died of fever at Cape Coast Castle, in October, 1863, without having taken part in any expedition whatever, his family were sot entitled to the return of the purchase-money for bls coin- Tarim STAMP DUTY UPON BANKERS' ORDERS. Mr. Alderman SALOMONS asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it wan true that as order addressed to bankers or other persons for any payment of miner, whether as dividend or otherwise, and which bed hitherto been exempt from stamp duty, as urine neither • letter nor a power of attorney, was by • new construction put by the Commissioners of Inland Revenue on the act of the preemt melon, to be made liable to the duty of five shil lings, or any other duties charged co letters or powers of attorney ; and, if so, whether such sew construction world not he a great hardship on individuals, and an interferesoe with established usage. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said his bon. friend must have beep misinformed as to the facts of Miscue. The act of the prseest manors had ea bearing on the subject, except to reduce existing duties. What lad taken place was this. Some persons bad felt a doubt whether orders of the character to which his hon. friend referred were liable to • duty as powers of attorney. The opiaiou of the law officers of the crown being taken on the subject, their opinion was that they were liable. That opinion, however, was am oldas the mouth at Denember,lB6o, cod be was not cognisant of any further proceedings having been taken since that time. It was not a question of peoalty, no penalty being imposed for sot Wog • stamp. It was purely a queetiou of discretion in the parties as to the legality of the instrument they used, end the risk of being linable to enforced, is cans it should be queirtioned in • court of justice. Mr. Alderman SALOMONS said the answer of the right boo. gentleman was perfectly satisfactory. (Laughter and cries of "Order.") THE GLADIATOR. Lord STANLEY asked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether it was true that the Gladiator wax lately required to Gerry troops from the Dumber of 200 to 2110. to Dublin : that objection was made on the ground of insufficient spate, sod that the somber was accordiugly reduced to 140; and whether be would produce any eorrespoodepee that might have passisd oa the subject. Lord C. PAGET bad so objection to produce the ONTO spoodenosua the subject. The Gladiator was ordered, oe the 21st May. to be in readiness to assist is coeveying a bat talion of the 60th Riles to Dublin. With regard to the capacity of the vessel, she was reported to boa 1.210 toes burden, and to be able to take 400 troops for five day'. A telegram was received from Portsmouth, represent ing the invooverneees which would arise from the ' overcrowding of women and children in the Gladiator, and a change was oonsequeotly made in the distnbutiou of the troops between the different vesicle employed on the occasion. Perhaps the house would allow him to refer to soother subject to which it took great interest. He wished Ito allude to a letter from the hoe. and gallant member for Portsmouth, which appeared in the Times of that morning. It was usual, when members differed in the °nuns of de bate, to set up and speak their minds, and Dot to write to the newspapers. (Hear, heat.) This was • matter in which the house had expressed great interest, viz., the convey. apes of troops from the West Indies, sod perhaps the house would permit him to reed a latter which lie had re ceived from the by drographer of her Majesty's navy. Mr. DISRAELI—I rise to order. (Hear, bear.) I am sure the house will give permission to the noble lord to make any statement which he may think n for the advantage of the public service, or in vindication of his 01•11 conduct, but it can only be made on that understanding. The noble lord is now taking a highly irregular course. Lord C. PAGET—It is a personal explanation—not that my personal character is is the least involved in it. (Laughtir.) . . . Tbe SPEAKER—If the noble lord wished' to make • per enn►l expl■nation I hare no doubt the house will permit him to do so. but I rather understand from him that it is not a personal matter. !Hear. hear.) Lord C. PAGET—It is no far a personal explanation that I stated to the haute the reasons which induced the government to send troops from Caps Coast to the West Indies under particular circumstances, ad I wish to refer to the way M which my statement was contradicted by the boo. and palltot member—(cries of "Order." "Order,' in the midst of which the noble lord resumed his rest.) THE CONFERENCE. Mr. DISRAELI—I would take this opportunity of asking the Doblelord the First Minister whether he has any Con,- mutilation to make to the house respecting the proseedings of the Contemns yesterday ? (Hear, bear.) Lord PALMERSTON, who on Firing was greeted with lout cheers. said—Sir, the question of the right hon. gen tleman is a very natural one, aed I am quite aware that the anxiety not only of the booms but of the public at large, upon the subject to which It relates, eatitlee it to DOOM communicatioa from her Majesty's government. (Neer, bear.) The Cooference met yesterday in the after. woe, after the Levee. It adjourned witil Saturday, when it will meet at an earlier hour. The probability is that that meeting of Saturday will be the last and fioal weskit% of the Confereoos, and it will be my duty on Monday to lay oa the table of this how all the papers connected with the proceedings of the Conference, I hope including the yressediap whisk gay take plug to Saturday.
