In the House of Commons this evening Sir William Hutt will ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the' Government propose to maintain any naval force on? the West Coast of Africa for the purpose of suppressing the slave trade. Mr. Maguire intends to inquire of the chief Secretary for Ireland whether, in case the prisoners not comprehended in his announcement of Monday last, as objects of the Royal clemency, gave sufficient guarantee or assurance of their determination not to renew their attempts against the public peace, the Government would advise her Majesty to extend her Roya. clemency to those prisoners, or to such of them as were willing to give a guarantee or assurance to that effect. Mr. Bentinck will want to know what is the present position of the Tornado case, and Mr. Stapleton hat, given notice to ask the Postmaster• General whether he will be prepared at the commencement of the financial year to reduce the postage on newspapers, so as materially to facilitate their circulation in the rural districts. Mr. Childers will bring forward the naval estimates, after which Mr. Mills intends to ask him what course he intends to pursue with regard to Woolwich dock yard, and whether he will take steps to alleviate the distress which will ensue if the yard is closed by ensuring 4.43 immediate occupation. To morrow evening Mr. Locke Xing will bring in hii JoHN BULL is just now in the position of a house holder who is burdened with an improvident house keeper. Giving, as he supposed, an ample, and even liberal allowance to cover his domestic expenses, he finds himself after the year is out flooded with bills for matters that he thought had been paid for at the time. What wonder if there be irritation, and some rather harsh words ? What wonder if he gives his housekeeper something less than a month's notice, and vows that he will never take her back again ? In all gravity the matter is very serious. One supplementary estimate after another is being presented. There is a supplementary estimate for the army, another for the navy, another for the civil service, until the total amount is really alarming. Last week, for instance, there were two such estimates presented : one for over £lOO,OOO on account of the civil service, and one for £3,600,000 on account of the Abyssinian war. To make the matter worse, these extra expenses come at a time when our income is seriously impaired. Mr. HUNT'S calculations about the revenue are likely to prove little short of a million too much. The account now stands against us at very nearly £ 5 ,000,000 deficiency, a deficiency caused for the most part by a war in which there was but one battle, and that scarcely worthy of the name ; a deficiency unprecedented since that gigantic war which we waged against the giant of the North. It would be bad enough if the late Government had merely bungled in its figures. But there has been dishonesty added to bungling. Not, of course, that Ministers have misappropriated the public money ; but they have purposely withheld informa tion for political reasons. They knew many months ago that the cost of the war had far exceeded the estimate; yet they took no means to meet this excess. They allowed Parliament to be dissolved without providing the fund necessary to pay the national expenses, and all through the election campaign not one word was said which would lead the nation to suppose that it would be called upon to pay this enormous bill. They did not dare make the revelation. As it was, the Liberals were denouncing them for culpable extravagance, and it was impossible to deny the charge.

The Prime Micister, to begin with, has, in an eminent and even a resplendent manner, fulfilled, in regard to the Question of the Hour, the national expectations. He has without any unnecessary delay brought that question, not a part of it, but the whole question, bodily, at the earliest possible moment, under the consideration of the popular branch of the Imperial Legislature. On this day ste'e Houseennight he f explained with masterly lucidity to the Commons, the nature and character, in all its varied and complex details, of the Government measure framed with a view to the solution, forthwith and permanently, of what many have been disposed to regard as the all-but insoluble problem of the Irish Church as a State Institution. Than the Premier's explanation of that problem, upon Monday evening last, upon the very first day of March, nothing could by possibility have been, at one and the same time, more comprehensible or more comprehensive. In it, nothing whatever was slurred over. The delivery of the speech occupied altogether about three hours and a little less than twenty minutes. The whole project was laid bare, fact by fact, date by dzit3, item by item. In regard to the past, and in regard to the future, the History of the Irish Church was sketched out by him with a due regard to chronological sequence and with an eye especially to the symmetrical arrange ment of the narrative, to the end that the actual posi tion of the Irish Church throughout should, alike by friend and by foe, be thoroughly well appreciated. arranged in its turn was the Pre mier's explanation intuediately afterwards of th, manner iu which the Government formed under his SOUTHAMPTON, March 8.

"PORTING.—JOHN ROBERTS supplies the ►LATES I' EDITION of "THE SUN " as soon as pub lished.-1, Bath-street, City-road, B.C. PRISONERS' FRIENDS. Uncter this heading, the Daily News presents its readers with an interesting article. "On certain mornings, and at regular hours, small groups of woe-begone tearful girls and women may," it says "be seen in the Old Bailey, exchanging whispers with eac h o th er , or threading their way silently through the throng of meat salesmen, City policemen, ticket porters, warehousemen, clerks, and shopboys, with which the busy place is full. They are the female friends of prisoners in Newgate, are of all ages, and beyond misery and shabbiness, have little in common. The girls look prematurely old and worn, and many of them have the unmistakeable expression all hunted animals obtain ; while the older women may be divided into two classes—the callous and the crushed. The object of their journey is to see and converse with their husbands or lovers, their brothers or sons confined in Newgate. These last are taking their prescribed amount of exercise in the prison yards, and it is from behind one of the gratings looking on these that they are permitted to gaze from a prescribed distance upon, and exchange words with, their visitors. Between the prisoners and their friends runs a passage of about a yard wide, with another set of iron bars fencing it off horn the place where the women stand, so that between the visitors and the visited are two stout barriers and sufficient space to preclude the possibility of articles being handed from one to the other. There are no seats. The prisoners are told to break out of the line of march, and permitted to advance to the grating of the yard in batches of three or four. The women who have come to see them stand exactly opposite, within the prison, and all have to press their faces close to the bars to make hearing possible. If a double set of wild-beast cages were planted in parallel lines, with the ironwork of each facing the others, but a yard or so apart ; if the lions and tigers were pushing their noses eagerly at the barriers, as if trying to escape ; and if a keeper or two were planted in the intervening space to watch, a fair imitation of Newgate Gaol during visiting hours would be obtained." Describing a particularscene the writer in the Daily News says :" A stout florid-faced man, who looks like a country farmer, and who is gesticulating violently through the bars to the cowed and crying little woman beyond them, is in on a charge of horse-stealing. He has been in prison before, and indeed was only out of it ten days when he was again apprehended. A muscular, powerful man, he looks as if he could carry off a horse bodily, if necessary; and one wonders what the messages are he is impressing so earnestly on his wife. A warder is standing near enough to the twain to overhear their talk, but we are assured no effort is made to eavesdrop ; the presence of a prison official being insisted on simply as a precautionary measure. Next to the horse dealer is a well-dressed young clerk, whose alleged offence is embezzlement. The elderly woman whose sobs reach us across the yard is his mother. She seems to be pleading earnestly, and he to be half sullen, half ashamed, but finally to yield to her entreaties whatever their pur port may have been. The third prisoner being visited is an older man, and the girl talking to him looks like his daughter. Their interview is far calmer than the other two, and seems indeed of a business character; for some clean linen has been brought, and the man is actually talking of the weather as we pass by —a proceeding which we thought a feint, but which, as we were reminded, was natural enough. The three-quarters of an hour allotted to each interview is doubtless a very precious time, It can only be had on particular days, and the strongest wish of those concerned must be to compress as many questions and answers into it as possible. But this very eagerness defeats itself ; just as it often happens, that when people meet after a long absence, and for a limited time, they fail to recall half the topics in which they are vitally interested. In the other yards we visited, men and women were absolutely staring at each other through the bars, in silence ; though the latter had come on purpose to talk, and the former would be shut up again in a quarter of an hour. In some cases it may have been the dumbness of despair which made them tongue-tied ; but many seemed so nervously anxious to express all they had to say that they were unable to arrange their ideas sufficiently to give them articulate shape." In conclusion, our contemporary remarks that the prison of Newgate is "so obviously well managed, and the coin. forts —we had almost written the luxuries—of its inmates are so carefully secured, that its authorities have doubtless sufficient reasons for the rules under which the visits of prisoners' friends may be paid and received. Still, a vast majority of the inmates are `remand cases,' and as they are all sent elsewhere as soon as possible after conviction, it is difficult to repress a wish that some less restricted mode of communication could be allowed. Although many of the evil faces we saw marching round were old prison hands, we presume that the law holds them innocent of the particular offences they are charged with, until it finds them guilty. Again, it must occasion ally happen that guiltless persons who have been com mitted for trial are detained here, and there is something repulsive in the absolutely penal character of the reception they have in each case to give their friends." It is stated that Mr. Rearden, of Athlone, intends to become a candidate for the representation of Sligo. He has written for a copy of the borough register. The Midland Great Western Company of Ireland have offered a reward of £2OO for information that may load to the discovery of the person who fired at their station master at Mullingar. Anketell unfortunately died on Saturday. _ At the Cheltenham County Court, on Friday, the judge granted a motion foc a new trial of the case in which the name of Mr. Sims Reeves was recently prominently brought forward. In the Bradford County Court on Friday a tripe dealer sued Messrs. Storey and Garnett, the petitioners against the return of Mr. Forster, for two guineas, which he alleged was due to him for four days'atteniance at the court and giving evidence upon the election inquiry. The defence set up was the technical one, that as the plaintiff had not produced a certificate from the judge he was not en titled to recover expenses. There are other cases of a similar character to be heard, and the Court deferred judg ment. Referring to the representation of Scarborough the Eastern 2lforning News states that public feeling appears to bo greatly in favour of Sir Harcourt Johnstone, Bart., as a candidate for the seat lately held by his father. Should he accede to the request to offer himself he will probably be spared the pain of taking any very active part in the election. The Conservatives are not taking any open action, and in the face of the very strong Liberal feeling prevailing there is no present probability of opposition. According to the Leeds Mercury an application has Leen made to Mr. Roebuck, late M.P. for Sheffield, to allow himself to be put in nomina tion, but as yet no answer has been received from the honourable gentleman. The Church Bill is discussed in the Irish "National' journals. The Irishman says it is "the Fenian plough which has upset the Establishment." It regards the offer made to tenants of Church lands to purchase their farms and become peasant proprietors, paying a fourth of the pur chase-money, as a "highly satisfactory feature in the scheme." It objects to the "nobler ecclesiastical and his toric ruins, such as Cashel, merging with the burial ground to the custody of the poor-law guardians." It " protests against the alienation of the cathedrals." The Nation says that, "compared with the Disestablishing Act of 1869, the Emancipation Act of 1829 was a miserable compromise." The application of the Church funds it regards as a minor question, but considers that, on the whole, "Mr. Gladstone's is not an un-national or a bad one." A - WARM BEETII.—The West Florida Commercial says that the two Peruvian ironclads now lying off War rington Navy-yard performed in their voyage from the Mississippi to that point quite satisfactorily. The greatest trouble experienced was from the intense heat. The thermometer indicated, as a minimum, 120 degrees. A number of robust firemen had to succumb before the vessel arrived at Pensacola. If in a stretch of a little over 100 miles a number of firemen were " burnt out," it is difficult to see how the officers of the fleet can hope to take the ironclads to Peru. NEW AND GIGANTIC PLANT.—Within the last few days living specimens have been forwarded to this country from Nicaragua of one of the most gigantic plants in the vegetable kingdom. It is closely allied to the Arums (or "Lords and Ladies") of our hedges, and until the present time has wholly escaped the notice of travelling botanists. It produces but one leaf, nearly 14ft. in length, supported on a stalk 10ft. long. The stem of the flower is a f , Jot in circumference, the spathe or flower 2ft. long, purplish blue in colour, with a powerful carrion•like odour. As this remarkable species of Aroidere is quite new to science it has not yet received a name. —Builder. THE TRAGEDY AT BLACKWALL.-011 Saturday evening Mr. Humphreys held an inquest at the Crown Tavern, High.street, Shadwell, respecting the death of John Cooper, aged 26 years. Edward Cooper, brother of the deceased, stated that he lived at 4, Grundy-street, Poplar. He said that ha had seen the body, which lay in the deadhouse of St. George's Church, Shadwell, and he identified it as that of John Cooper, who was an engineer by trade. Edward Rolinson, Burns-street, Commercial-road, said that he apprehended the body of the deceased as he saw it floating down the river, nearly opposite the dock entrance, on Friday morning, at twenty minutes past six o'clock Coroner : I do not think that you will get the reward. Dr. Ross said that the cause of the deceased's death was drowning. A policeman produced a rent book, which he had found on the deceased's body. There was -Cooper's name in it.

A STRANGE RELIGIOUS SECT. furtb° A correspondent of the Daily News gives some particulars of the Russian sect called the Skopzelb. et : Skopteii.
