The provinces bound themsehes to construct the interoolonial railway, and the house would be asked to guarantee a loan for that purpose. Mr. Adderley pointed with satisfaction to the closeness with which the colonists had adhered to the institutions of the mother country, replied to various criticisms passed on the scheme, and concluded by expressing his personal gratification at haring a share in the important work of founding a new nation. HOUSE OF LORDS.-TITURADAY, FEL 28. The Loki. CHANCEU.IJE took his seat on the woolsack at 5 o'clock. Lord LYTFELTON preeented a petition from the com mittee of the Church Institution, praying that the provi sions of the School Sites Act might be extended to the in stitution or enlargement of churchyards. The Earl of LONGFORD presented a petition from the inhabitants of Wicklow against the sale of intoxicating liquors on Sunday, and a similar petition was presented by the Archbishop of YORK from the county of York. Mr. CARDWELL warmly supported the bill, eulogised the loyalty of the Canadians, and dwelt on the many oil. vantages confederation would confer on the provinces in such matters as internal self-defence and the management of foreign affairs. Mr. AY'TOUN complained that this bill was being pressed through the house in an unprecedented and incon venient manner. It was only placed in the hands of mem. hers that morning ; and the fact that it had been discussed in another place and in the newspapers was no reason why the house should be asked to read it a second time without the usual notice. He should be glad to see these 'colonies united; but at a future stage he should offer every opposition that he could to the 118th clause of this bill, relating to the railway, the omission of which would in no way affect the general scope of the measure. Mr. BRIGHT said that although this bill had not excited much interest either in that house or in the country, it was one of so much importance that the house ought to have been treated rather differently with respect to it. He had never before known any great measure affecting any large portion of the empire or of the population which had been attempted to be hurrie 1 through parliament in the manrer in which this had been. It was true that it was of more importance to the inhabitants of the provinces than to ourselves, but it was not on that account that they should not examine it closely, and see that they committed no error in passing it. Two provinces were left out of the confederation, he presumed because it was clear that they did not want to come in. Mr. ADDERLEY said that there was a clause which provided forthe junction of these two provinces,and one of them was already almost in process of Joining. Mr. BRIGHT said that that was a reasonable provision • ' but there had been complaints that Nova Scotia was als o unwilling to join the confederacy. It was assumed that ' because the legislature of that province had some time ago voted a resolution in favour of some such scheme as this, therefore the population of Nova Scotia were in favour of it. Fo- his own part he did not believe in the propriety of the legislature deciding such a great question as this without its having been directly sub mitted to the people. He ventured to say that that nomi nated council of 72, to be chosen for life by the Governor- General, contained the germ of a malady which would spread, and which would before long render necessary the alteration of the constitution of this confederation. There were persons gin this country, and some, indeed, in the North American provinces, who were ill-natured enough to say that not a little of the loyalty that was alleged to prevail in Canada had its price. (" Hear, hear," and " Oh, oh.") It was reasonable to suppose and to hope that there was in that province a very strong attachment to this country; but at the same time, if, while they were to be an inde pendent nation except as far as concerned the appointment of the lord-lieutenant, constant applications were to be made to this country for guarantees for railways and con tributions for the building of fortresses, it would be far better for them and for us—cheaper for us and less de moralising for them—if they were really an independent state, maintaining their own fortunes, fighting their own cause, and building up their own future, instead of rely ing upon us. There was no part of the world that ran less risk of aggression than Canada, except with regard to that foolish and impotent attempt of certain discontented persons, who not long since were subjects of the Queen. America had no idea of anything of the kind. No American statesman—no American political party, dreamt for a moment of aggression upon Canada, or of annexing Canada by force, and, therefore, every farthing this coon try spent upon Canadian fortresses, with a view of keep ing off American aggression, was money squandered under au hallucination which we ought to get rid of, because the money would only be wasted. Sir J. PAK INGTON said he had rarely heard any expres sion in that house with greater regret than that which had fallen from the hon. member when he stated that the loyalty of Canada had its price. Mr. BRIGHT—I did not say that that was my belief. Sir J. PAKINGTON had not said that it was the opinion of the hon. member, but the hon. member had stated it in such a manner as to convey a most painful im pression to the house ; and if the statement were con veyed to the colonies it would occasion the most unfavour able and painful impression there. He hoped it would not go forth as the opinion of the House of Commons that they entertained even for a moment a doubt of the loyalty of Canada. (Hear, hear.) They must not lose sight of the fact that they had in England delegations from the British American colonies, and that the deputations bad been chosen from men of different political parties, and as far as possible they bad been chosen to re t all opinions prevalent in the colonies. He true that the bill would become law with the unanimous concurrence of the house. (Hear.) iz , i -----Wis Mr. WATKIN said if they did not care for keeping up the connection with the colonies of North America, what did they say to our other colonies? Did they wish to denude the country of all outside possessions—to give up Australia and India—and retire altogether within the confines of their own island? If that were their policy • shorter means of it out might be found, and they might realize their ppiness in oining themselves to some small country, such as Holland. He knew he spoke the feelings of the lower and middle classes when he said that they were opposed to a neve. ranee of the colonies from the crown, and he did not think there was one percent. of the people of England who would assent to such a proposition. There was not a barren rock over which the flag of England waved that the people would suffer to be given up without cogent and sufhment mason. Mr. R. COCHRANE suggested that some understanding should be arrived at as to the colonial tariff ; Mr. C. Fortescue expressed his belief that the bill would enable the colonists to bear their part in their own defence ; and Mr. Marsh, in reply to some remarks on the expense of the colonies, pointed out that it cost less to protect our trade in quarters where we had colonies than where we had none. After a plea for delay from Mr. Hadfield, the bill was read a second time. In reply to a question from Mr. liontenr, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER declined to fix Thursday definitely as the day (though possibly it might be) on which he would bring in a reform bill, but promised to give the house fair notice. The Dog Duty Bill passed through committee. A long discussion arose on the second reading of a bill, moved by Mr. Selwyn, to remove the dis ability which prevents the standing counsel to the Secretary of State for Indi► from sitting in parlia ment. Its rejection was moved by Mr. Serjennt Gaaelee, on the ground that it is inexpedient to increase the number of placemen, and that if any change is made the whole statute of Anne ought to be taken into considera tion. The bill was supported by Mr. Walpole, Lord Cranborne, the Solicitor-General, and Sir. J Fergusson, and opposed by Mr. H. D. Seymour, Mr. Ayrton, and Mr. White. A motion for adjournment was defeated by 5$ to 34, and the bill was eventually read a second time on the understanding that the discussion would be renewed on the next stage. The house adjourned at a qu►rter to 11 o'clock. THE EARL OF DERBY AND THE SUNDAY LIQUOR Titarric.—The Earl of Derby on Wednesday evening re ceived at his official residence in Downing-street a deputa tion of working men, who bad been appointed by a large meeting in the Lambeth Baths on Friday last, to plead with him against the sale of intoxicating liquors on Sun day. The deputation was introduced by the Rev. John Garrett, D.D., and was accompanied by Archbishop ' Manning, Rev. Newman Hall, Mr. Batley, M.P., and Dr. Ellis, and consisted of representatives of every branch of trade. The Rev. Dr. Garrett said he hail the honour to introduce a deputation of working men who wished to open to his lonLhip a great heart grief which afflicts the people and injures their social welfare, and he pointed out that the amendment of the law which the people seek to obtain has the approbation of the whole combined religious and political mind of the country, as evidenced by the remarkable union in this matter of the heads of all the denominations and parties in the kingdom. The Rev. George M. Murphy, as chairman of the Lambeth meeting, assured his lordship that the working people were desirous to have this sale stopped, and he read the petition to parliament which the meeting adopted, and which they wished his lordship to present to the House of Lords. Mr. Murphy pleaded strongly that the government should meet the wishes of the people by introducing ameasure to parliament which would relieve them of this special source of intemperance, immorality, and crime. His lordship expressed his great desire to' assist in any measure for the welfare of the people, but thought considerable difficulty might be expe rienced in inducing parliament to pass a law entirely closing public-houaes and beer-houses on Sunday, as many people might wish to purchase what they considered to he a pleasant refreshment ; but he thought the sale might be considerably more restricted than it is at present. Mr. Batley, M.P., explained to his lordship that the ques tion of allowing such houses to be open for is short time in the afternoon and evening for the sale of beer not to be drunk on the premises , would be a matter for considers tiou in committee of the House of Commons, and that it is already the subject of conversation amongst many members of the house. He took the opportunity of thanking his lordship for his readiness, a short time since, to receive some of his working friends from Manchester, who were in London for a few hours. His lordship expressed much satisfaction at having received such a deputation, saying it was a question first for the House of Commons ; that the government could not undertakethe anxiety of introducing such a measure, and advising rather that it should be in troduced by an independent member of parliament. FALMOUTH, Fsa. 28.—The New York and Havre Company's United States steamship Arago, from New York on the 16th inst., arrived here at 9 p.m., with 50 passengers ; 194,656 dole. in specie for London ; 176,997 dole. for Havre ; and a full general cargo, including 290 packages for the Paris Exhibition, and a splendid loco motive. After landing five passengers and the specie for London, she proceeded for Havre at 10.15 p.m. Her news has hew; anticipated. Sporting Intelligente. TATTERSALL'a—TxURSDAT. Not more than half a dozen members were present, and the only transaction was the tacking of The Saks for the Derby far R. 50 at Cle to 1. !SETTING IN LONDON.-THURSDAT AITERNOOF. There was a fair murder at the ohih; to-day, and a large amount of business tr.insactent. For the Liverpool Grand Na tional, Shakespeare was at first backed pretty freely at 9 to 1. but towards the close these odds were to he had In two or three or three quartera So one seemed inclined to espouse the cause of frennot Asthore, offers of 100 to 6 going begging. Columbia w.a backed fora little at 20 to 1, but the horse in most request was Astrolabe, about whom 1000 to 40 was taken six times. Glo bule and Shaftgarry were each backed at 100 to 3, and several others would have met with support at the same price, but layers would not spring. Among other bets, one speculator backed Mr. Studids lot at 1000 to 100, desiring to go on, and another took twelve against the Field—including, of course, the horses most prominent in the betting—for an even hundred. For the City and Suburban 20 to 1 would have bees taken about Clarice, but 100 to 6 only was quoted ; whilst for the Chester Cup, one large bookmaker emphatically offered to lay •'twenty hundred to one hundred" against Dalby without eliciting a response. For the Two Thousand, Plaudit again slightly receded, 4 to 1 was booked to a limited amount, and subsequently the same odds were offered. Julius was in considerable request, 1,200 to 24;3 being taken in .me hand, and he was supported at the same price for two fifties, and three or four ponies. Vanhan, who has recently met with considerable support for the Derby, found a friend to-day for the Two Thousand, 1,200 to 100 being taken, and afterwards eleven ponies. Hermit was also tracked at 100 to 8, and 2,500 to 100 was taken about Lord Stamford's lot. For the Derby 100 to 12 was offered against D'Estournel—no taken; but The Rake was backed In the first Instance at 94 to I, and ultimately at half a point leas. Hermit would have secured a customer at 1000 to 70; 13 to I was, however, tho highest bid. Plaudit was wholly out of favour, 15 to 1 being offered. Muter ' Butterfly appeared to be "ou the go," es lON to 30 was bandied about, and nothing short of 50 to 1 would have clenched a transaction. In the course of the afternoon Tarahan was hacked twice at 1000 to 30, and the remainder of the proceedhu stopped abort at offers. Speculation finally ruled an follows: LIVERPOOL GRAND NATIONAL. 9to 1 apt Shakespeare (t 25 to 1 Oat Sneer Star (e, dol t 100 to 3) 100 to 6 Dermot As 25 to 1 Clemente ( 2 ) there (o' 1000 to 30 Cortolvln ti 100 to 5 calling& (t) too to I SkakkarrY (t) 20 to 1 Sumey 100 to 3 Globale (t) 53 to 1 Yen o) 1000 to 10 flanker (0) 1000 to 40 Astrolabe ;t() 1000 to SO Pmeatfaa ;o) 25 to 1 Doeter (o, tSO Wto 1 Pak ,o; to 1) 1000 to 100 Yr.

This spring meeting, which was inaugurated to-day, proved an excellent addendum to )Ir. Bradfield's gathering in Sherwood Forest, as it was very numerously attended, and produced some good racing. The weather being beautifully line, the town of Derby presented quite a holiday appearance, and the tonne was thronged. Prior to the commencement of the sport some specu lation took place upon future events. The Bake coming in fur considerable support at ° to 1, although those odds were obtain able to the close.

Superintendent of the Thames Police, attended an inquiry, held by the directors of the General Steam Navi gation Company for the purpose of investigating the cir cumstances of the robbery, and the chief mate and the watchman, who were ou duty all night on hoard the Waterloo, were called and examined, but no fresh infor mation was gleaned. The barge which the thieves no doubt availed themselves of to remove the bullion cases has not been discovered.—Shippiey Gazette.

M.m, jun., they were adopted, and ordered to be printed and circulated. The reappointment of the treasurers, the execu tive committee, and hon. secretary was carried on resolu tions respectively moved and seconded by Mr. W Dawes and Mr. J. F. Bontema, Mr. S. Nodes and Mr. M. H. Marsden, and Mr. C. H. Hit and Mr. John Jenkins. On the motion of Mr. John Jenkins, SLA., seconded by Mr. C. H.

That it be referred to the committee of this society to con sider the subject, and if practicable to take the necessary steps to convene such conference, and that it be a special instruction to the committee to obtain the opinion of the conference op the two following points:-1. The best moaned extending the organisation of this society through out the constituencies of the country, and of raising funds in promotion of its objects.-2. Whether this society should extend its operations to efforts for promoting the adoption of vote by ballot at municipal elections." A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings.

The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a petition from a justice of the peace of 3$ years' standing, stating that his experience had confirmed him in the opinion that the law regarding the penalties for the use of unjust weights and measures was insufficient and altogether inoperative as a check to dishonest tradesmen. In the opinion of the petitioner, the best means of dealing with the subject would be to advertise in the public newspapers the names, addresses, and fines of all persons who had been convicted under the Weights and Measures Act, and he prayed that in any future legislation a clause should be inserted giving to all magistrates adjudicating in such cases power to that effect Their lordships rose at a quarter past 5 o'clock.

BOROUGHS OF LANCASTER AND GREAT YARMOUTH. Captain GRIDLEY gave notice that in com mittee, or upon another stage of any bill for the disfranchisement of the boroughs of Lancaster and Great Yarmouth, he would move a resolution or amendment to the following effect :—" That inas much as the number of electors in the boroughs of 'Am meter and Great Yarmouth respectively against whom no corrupt practice has been alleged greatly exceed the several constituencies of many otherboroughs and counties returning members to par lament, and would be increased by any extension of the franchise, and having regard to the population and the manufacturing and commercial in terests of those two boroughs, it is not just or expedient that they should he wholly disfranchised, but that each such borough ought at any future election to return to this house one representa•tve only, and that every elector, or person who might become au elector, having been proved or reported guilty of any corrupt pnictioe should be dis qualified to vote at any future election." HOUSEHOLD SUFFRAGE, Mr. SCHREIBER gave notice that to-morrow, on the motion for going into committee of supply, lie should ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he could inform him of the number of male occupiers resident in boroughs and cities in England and Wales who would be placed on the register of electors of members of parliament by household suffrage, accompanied by three years' residence and per sonal payment of rates. ROYAL IRISH ACADEMY. Mr. GREGORY mid that co the Bth March he should call the attention of the haw to the position of the Royal Irish Academy. DUTY ON DOGS. In reply to Sir A. Autcrw, Mr. WALPOLE said that no bill was in preparation by the government to authorise the county police to enforce the duty on dogs. JURORS AT THE PARIS EXHIBITION. In reoy to Viscount A.ll BERLE , Mr. COREY said that each English furor who went to the Exhibition at Paris would have 50 guineas for pay ment in full of his travelling and other expenses. Each juror would have to stay in Paris six weeks, and some of them probably would have to prolong their stay for a much longer period. (Oh. oh.) They would receive no remuneration far their services. LIEUTENANT BRAND. Mr. OSBORNE asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he would lay upon the table of the house any subsequent correspondence between the Admiralty and Lieutenant Brand since that officer was placed on half pay. He also asked the hon. member for East Surrey if he had received • letter in every way satisfactory to his feelings from Lieu- tenant Brand. Lord H. LENNOX expressed his regret that the First Lord of the Admiralty was unavoidably absent, and asked the hon, member to postpone his question. Mr. C. BUXTON—In answer to the appeal of the hon. member for Nottingham, I am happy to say that I have received from Lieutenant Brand a most ample and excel. lent letter of apology, and I shall be very happy to con sent to its pub lic ation if there is no objection. THE CREW OF THE TORNADO. Mr. HANBITRY-TRACY asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he could give the house any further information as to the present condition of the officers and crew of the Tornado. Lord STANLEY said that 45 of the crew of the Tornado had been, as he bad already stated to the house, re leased by the Spanish government. Immediate steps were taken by the English consul, and if necessary they would be brought home at the public expense, as was usually done in the case of distressed seamen. In regard to the eight who were still detained, he asked, by tele graph, on what grounds they were kept, and he bad re ceived a reply to the effect that they were detained in case they should be required as witnesses in the event of any further proceedings. He would probably receive more detailed information in a despatch, and until it had been received it would not be convenient to take any further steps in the matter. REPORTS OF BRIBERY COSIMISSIONERS. Captain GRIDLEY asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer whether it was proposed to give the house an opportunity of considering the reports of the royal com missioners respecting the boroughs of Lancaster, Great Yarmouth, Reigate, and Totnes, before any measure for the diafranohisenient of those boroughs was laid upon the table. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—The evi dence taken before the commissioners and their reports upon It are in the hands of hon. gentlemen. They have also been under the consideration of the government, who have arrived at the conclusion I have already announced ; ..d in the Reform Bill, which I hope to be able in a very few days to introduce, there will be ample opportunity to challenge the conclusion at which we have arrived. Ido not contemplate on any other occasion to ask the opinion of the house. EXPENSE OF BRIBERY COMMISSIONS. Mr. OTWAY asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was proposed to lay on the table a return of the expenses occasioned by the bribery commissions sent to Lancaster, Terries, and other towns, also whether the government contemplated introducing any measure which would cause the expenses of that character to be thrown on the inhabitants of the towns for which the commissions were issued. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that if notice were given of the question, he should be prepared to answer it. EDUCATION. Mr. CORRY, in laying on the table an education minute which he said was drawn up in conformity with the spirit of the revised code, but was intended to remedy some of its incidental defects, explained that the objects to which it was directed were to give greater assistance to small schools in poor neighbourhoods, to improve the quality of the education in the higher branches, and to maintain an adequate supply of pupil teachers. This he proposed to do by granting to all schools fulfilling certain educational re quirements • pimento' 4a. per lass (instead of 2s. Bd.) on any number of passes not exceeding 120. The °duct tional requirements were that there should he a pupil teacher to every 40 children over 25 (instead of over 50 as at present) ; that the number of passes should bear • certain minim ant proportion to the number of scholars under six years ; that a proportion of passes should be under the standards technically known as 4,5, and 6 ; and that a certain number of scholars should be examined in some one higher branch of education. Scholars who passed in the highest standard would bring a further grant to the school for one year by passing a satisfactory examination in one higher branch. As an encouragement to the employment of pupil teachers, a grant of 10f. would be made for every pupil teacher passing into • training college in the first class, and sf. for those passing intim second, and there would be a further grant of 81. and sf. for those passing in the first and second claims after a year's residence in college. The expense of these changes would be only 15,2001. in the first year, by 1869 it would amount to 40,0001., and ultimately it might reach to 70,010. Mr. ff. BRUCE and Mr. POWELL generally approved of the new minute ; and Mr. LOWE characterised it as a subversion of the re vised code, and contended that the work was now well done and done cheaply. He could not see, therefore, what could be got from tinkering at the subject in the manner propaaed, and ho hoped that an o pp or t un ity would be afforded for discussing the minute before it was carried into effect. After some observations from Colonel Sykes and Mr. Hubbard, Mr. Walpole suggested that if Mr. Lowe wanted to raise a debate be had better avail himself of the motion for going into committee of supply on some Fri day evening. BRITISH NORTH AMERICAN BILL. . . . The second reading of the Bill for the Confederation of the British North American Colonies was moved by Mr. ADDEIILEY, who, after briefly reviewing the history of the negotiations which had preceded the billjdescribed the main features of the scheme, which by this tune must be tolerably familiar to all readers of the debates, and which he said bad been settled by the colonists themselves, On the passing of the bill, the two Canada., Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick would be consolidated into one govern ment with one common parliament, consisting of a senate of 72 members, nominated for life by the Governont leneral, and a House of Commons of 151 members.
