SUNDAY TRADING, Mr. CROSS asked the Vice-President of the Council how far any change in the system of certificates to school masters would be rendered necessary by his Bill ; and, if he contemplated any alteration in the management of, cr ;n the grants to Training schools. Mr. FORSTER said, in the Education Bill no allusion was made to the certified masters, but Clauses 7 and 83 would render it necessary, if the bill passed, to reconsider the question, but further than that he could not say at the present moment. With regard to training schools, they were not dealt with by the bill, but the measure dealing with the grant under the Revised Code would, if it should pass, which he hoped it would, render a reconsideration of 1)) position of those schools necessary.

The system adopted rigidly excludes the use of the manual alphabet and all artificial signs. A public lesson is given every Wednesday, at 3 p.m., when the successful results of the system can be wit nessed. Applications for terms, the course of instruction, and all other particulars, to he made to W. VAN PRA AGTI, Esq., Director of the Jews' Deaf and Dumb Home, 44, Burton-crescent, W.C. part obsolete, as it was an attempt to make the people religious by Act of Parliament ; it bad, however, totally failed, because in the Metropolis there - were now no less than 10,000 shops open on Sundays. There was great difficulty in enforcing the present law, and in the bill he had now the honour to submit to their lordships he had endeavoured to study the wants of the humbler classes of tradesmen, who were chiefly interested, and who had petitioned Parliament for protection against their rivals. After reviewing the failures that had taken place with respect to legislation on this subject, he concluded by moving the second reading of the bill, which was nearly similar to the measure he had carried so fax as to pass through committee in the year 3866. The Bishop of LONDON thought the bill practically met the difficulties which surrounded the subject. The Earl of MORLEY, on the part of the Govern ment, said he was not prepared to object to the second reading, but he should reserve the right of suggesting alterations in committee. rrELEGRAPHIC NEWS.—The Proprietor of 1 the CENTRAL PRESS" is prepared to supply Tlegraphic Rows to Newspaper Proprietors, and to the managers of Clubs, News Rooms, and Exchanges; also to Private Persons, in accordance with the scale of charges for telegrams which comes into operation on February btb.

Sir JOHN PAKINGTON asked the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education, whether he intended to bring in during this session, the second part og the Endowed Schools Bill of last year. Mr. FORSTER said it was not the intention of the Government to bring forward the bill this year. They thought it better to wait until they had received all the reports of the governors of endowed schools and the deba,te on the education bill itself would afford them much useful information in dealing with the subject when it is in the power of the Government to lay the bill re ferred to before the House.

The Duke of SOMERSET said the bill would give their lordships something to talk about ; but he did not believe it would ever pass the other House of Parliament. The Bishop of GLOUCESTER said legislation of the kind they were now engaged in was very invidious and objectionable, but it was, in such a case as the present, most desirable to endeavour to amend the law and make it more efficient.

Mr. MA.GUIRE gave notice that this night week he would call the attention of the House to the operation of the Pr:sons' and Prison Ministers' Acts, with the view of seeing what provision was made for the spiritual teaching of prisoners. • THE HOUSE TAX, Mr. W. LAWRENCE gave notice that on the 22nd of March he would move that the house tax, unequally and unfairly assessed as it was, discouraged the erection of working-class dwellings, and ought to be repealed. REDUCTION OF THE NATIONAL DEBT. Mr. CANDLISH gave notice that this day four weeks he would move the necessity of a substantial and con tinuous reduction of the National Debt. THE PURCHASE OF ARMY COMMISSIONS. Mr. MUNTZ gave notice that, on going into committee o-► the army estimates, he would move that the system of purchase of army commissions was injurious to the service. THE VOLUNTEERS. Mr. RODEN asked the Secretary of State for War, when: he intended to arm the volunteers with breech-load- t v rifles, Mr. CARDWELL said he was afraid the volunteers would not be armed with breech-loaders until, by further experiments, it had been determined what kind of breech loader was the best. THE BRITISH MUSEITM. Mr. COWPER-TEMPLE asked the •First Commis sioner of Works whether the Government were prepared to take measures for relieving the overcrowded condition of the objects placed for exhibition in the British Museum by means of the erection of a new building for the collec tions of natural history. Mr. AYRTON said the Government were fully alive to the importance of relieving the overcrowded state of the British Museum, but they had not yet arrived at any decision as to the best mode of carrying out the object. ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL. Colonel BARTTELOT asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether his attention had been called to the Report of the Lunacy Commissioners on the condition of St. Luke's Hospital for Lunatics ; and, whether he was prepared to take some action with regard to that charity, either through the Commissioners in Lunacy or by some special commission, so that the object for which the charity was endowed might be pro perly carried out. Mr. BRUCE said the subject had been under attention for the last 20 years. The reports of the Lunacy Commis sioners, contradictory as they were, were very perplexing, and almost vexatious, in some cases the condition of the buildings being represented as most unsuitable, and in others the condition of the inmates as most satisfactory. At the same time he did not think that any advantage would result from instituting the inquiry suggested. The only mode of proceeding that could be effectual was to obtain a special Act of Parliament, but that he was not onthe part of the Government prepared to recommend. LAND IN IRELAND. Colonel BARTTELOT asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Acts 23 and 24 Vic. caps 153 and 154, the Act to expend the Law relating to the Tenure and Improvement of Land in Ireland, and the Act to amend the Law of Landlord and Tenant, had been made use of ; and, if so, whether he had any objection to lay a return upon the table of the House, or to state 'the number of persons who had made use of either of those Acts. Mr. GLADSTONE said a distinction must be drawn between the two Acts to which the question referred. The 23d and 24 Vic., chap. 54, regulated generally the law be tween landlord and tenant ; while 23 and 24 Vic., chap. 153, relatedito the tenure and improvement of land. There was no objection to the production of the papers when they were forthcoming. THE RETURNED FENIAN CONVICTS. Sir G. JENKINSON asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether his attention had been called to an account in the Times of Saturday, the 19th instant, of the arrival hi Dublin of a body of ten released Fenian convicts from Australia ; also an account in the same paper of a mob parading the streets of Cork, with a blazing tar barrel and other uproarious demonstra tions in honour of the same released convicts ; and whether he wha of opinion that such proceedings, arising in conse quence of the release of those convicts by her Majesty's Government, were conducive to the peaceable administra tion of the law in Ireland ; and whether these released conVicts had been brought back from Australia at the expense of the taxpayers of the United Kingdom. Mr. BRUCE said the attention of the Government had been called to the proceedings that had taken place in Dublin. It appeared that the released Fenians on their arrival were taken to the theatre, and on leaving it it was attempted to get up a procession, but the police interfered, and the at tempt was at once abandoned. At Cork an attempt was also made to get up a demonstration, and a few women and children and other idlers followed a cart on which was placed a lighted tar-barrel, but the police again interfered, and the crowd dispersed without making any resistance, so the authorities vindicated the law and suppressed all attempts at disturbance. With respect to the cost of the return of the convicts he had to say it had not fallen on either the ratepayers or the Government. He could not say who did pay the expences of the passage home, neither did he know the name of the ship in which they arrived. lle had seen the notice of the meeting at which it was said Mr. Butt, Q.C., was present, and the hon. member might rest certain if he had used language that was at all improper it would not escape the attention of the Lord Chancellor. THE COLONELS ON HALF-PAY. Lord RONALD GOWER asked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention had been called to a letter in the TinteB, of the 7th, signed " H.P." in which it was stated that the colonels on half-pay of the purchase army received nothing from the country for their services, and that the interest of their money paid to the Secretary of State for War was more than sufficient to provide their half-pay, and whether those statements were correct. Mr. CARDWELL said that a lieutenant-colonel had three choices Op= to him if he wished to retire. The he hoped the report would be ready in the course of a few days. LORD CAMPBELL'S ACT. Mr. HANBURY-TRACY asked the Secretary to the Board of Trade if it was the intention of the Govern ment to introduce a bill during the session to modify Lord Campbell's Act, 9 and 10 Vic. c. 93. Mr. LEFEVRE said it was not the intention .of the Government to introduce such a bill during the present session. THE METRIC SYSTEM. Mr. JOHN BENJAMIN SMITH asked the Secretary to the Board of Trade whether he was prepared to state in what manner the Government intends to deal with the present anomalous state of the laws relating to weights and measures ; and whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to bring in a bill during the present session of Parliament with a view to remedy the defect in the existing Act, and to establish the metric system in the place of the existing system of weights and measures in the United Kingdom. Mr. LEFEVRE said the report of the Royal Commis. sion on the subject had pointed out certain anomalies on that subject, and had recommended legislation, but it had been thought better to defer such until the formal report of that commission Lai been received. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION WITH AMERICA. Mr. MATTHEWS asked the' Postmaster-General whether he was aware that a concession had been granted by the North German Confederation for a line of tele- graphic communication between G ermany and Ameiica, and that the - Board of Trade had authorised the landing at Lowestoft of a cable from North Germany as one of the links in that line ; and whether a request had not been made to him on behalf of the purchasers of the concession to make arrangements for the connection of the cable to be landed at Lowestoft with the wires of the Anglo- American Company in London ; and whether he was pre- Pared to accede to that request. The Marquis of HAItTINGTON said the facts were as stated. Application had been made, and the matter was now under consideration. THE POST OFFICE. Mr. PELL asked when it would be possible to place Hinckley, in Leicestershire, in connection with the tele graphic department of the General Post office. The Marquis of HARTINGTON said he could not give any precise answer. The authorities were using their ut- most endeavours to serve all parties, and no unnecessary delay would take place. TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN. In raply to Colonel French, Mr. GLADSTONE said he had not had an interview with Lord Cairns, but he had received through him a memorial from the students of the college asking that all offices might be thrown open irrespective of religious creed. He would be happy to produce the memorial if moved for. EPPING FOREST. The Steward of the Household brought up her Majesty's answer to the Address agreed to by the House on the sub ject of Epping Forest. Her Majesty said she was most desirous of concurring with the House, and would give the Address her best consideration, in order to ascertain how effect could be given to the Address. THE NEXT PRESENTATION TO BENEFICES, Mr. CROSS moved for leave to bring in a bill to render void the sale of the next presentation to a benefice. A man who had a right to present to a living, if he chose to sell his right could do so, but as long as he chose to hold the advowson he was morally bound to exercise the right of presentation The right of presentation was a public trust to be exer cised for the benefit of the public, and as such could not be morally, although it could be legally, as we all very well knew, disposed of for a money value. The legislation he proposed was by no means new. As showing that this was so, he traced the history of the attempts at legislation during the past few years, at the same time giving instances of the abuse of the law as it at present stood. The present state of the law, he contended, could not be considered satisfactory either as regarded the Church or the public if such abuses could be practised under it with impunity. And he asked whether it was not a scandal to the country and to religion, to the parishioners and the clergyman, to see advertisements from day to day in the papers holding forth the great advantages of the next pre sentation, and in bold figures giving the age and infirmi ties of the present holder of the living, in order to induce the purchaser to give a larger sum than he would otherwise do. Mr. J. HINDE PALMER quite agreed with the general principle of the measure proposed to be intro duced. He recognised fully the great disadvantage to the Established Church arising from the right of presentation being made the subject of traffic and public auction ; he considered it a great detriment indeed to see from time to time in the newspapers advertisements, with recommenda tions of a secular character, with a view to increase the price of purchase. But he threw out to the hon. gentle man to extend the measure to the sale of advowsons. (Hear, hear.) The motion for leave to bring in the bill was then carried. THE ELECTORAL DISABILITIES OF REVENUE OFFICERS. Mr. MONK called the attention of the House to the disabilities under which the revenue officers labour in reference to Parliamentary elections ; and moved that a select committee be appointed to inquire and report as to electoral restraint and disabili ties affecting the civil servants of the Crown in the several branches of the Revenue Department, and to consider the expediency of removing them in certain cases. Many of the men, the hon. gensleman said, who had held office in the Civil Service for a very many years, and had by a course of rectitude risen to positions of trust under her Majesty's Government, felt very keenly the suspicions to which their electoral disabilities ex.- posed them in the eyes of the public, and justly complained of the injustice thereby inflicted upon them. He put it to the House whether it was not a matter of great political importance that the political status of the officers of the revenue should be distinctly ascertained. No reasonable doubt, he contended, should be allowed to exist as to whether the dis• abilities imposed upon revenue officers by the Act passed in the reign of William and Mary had been revived or kept alive by any subsequent Act. He knew it was held by some persons that the 53rd Geo. 111., c. 124, kept alive the former Act, but he- denied that such was the case. So far as the Post-office was concerned, he thought the Government would hardly dare to oppose his motion. As regarded the customs, his contention was that the officers of that department were absolutely politically free ; all the Acts disabling Government officials from voting at Parliamentary elections having been repealed. All he asked was that an inquiry should be granted, to set all doubts at rest on the point as to whether it was proper in the present state of the law to deny to the civil servants of the Crown the same rights as were possessed by the public at large. Mr. G RAVES said no doubt in times past there had been reasons for the restrictions imposed upon civil ser vants of the Crown, but considering the present state of affairs in the country and the intelligence and enlighten ment of the class of men affected by the restriction. it was not desirable that the restraint mould U@ ahy longer Cori tinned. On these grounds he had great pleasure in seconding the proposal. Mr. GLADSTONE regretted that, after the exhaustive debate upon the subject which they had had already when settling the question cf reform, hen. gentlemen mild not allow it to re..t for a time. Common humanity on the part of the prooccutors of the case of the civil servants of the Crown, should prompt thcm to give the House a short lease of tranquillity. They ought really not, by tenacious and repeated attacks, to force upon the House the adoption of a resolution through very weari ness, and a desire no more to hear of it. It was acting the part of the unjust judge in the parable. (Laughter.) The terms of the motion chewed that there was something of tactics in its but the speeches of the hon. gentlemen who moved and seconded it left no doubt as to what was their direct object in seeking the appointment of a committee. Both gentlemen made avowals which left no doubt that their object was to reverse practically the vote of last year. Indeed, no case whatever had been made out for a partial inquiry. He disliked referring to matters which were thoroughly sifted last year ; but the principle that applied in this case applied in many other cases. As regarded that House, a contractor was not allowed to take part in legislation, not because all contrac tors were impure, but because the combination of influence in matters of money with iufluence in matters of legisla tion, was supposed to be, at all events, inexpedient. And the balance of reasons in the case of the civil servants of the Crown favoured the notion that they should be placed under an amount of dis cipline. They were entrusted for instance, with matters to which the check of publicity could not he applied, whereas everything occurring in that House was exposed to the full light of day. (Hear, hear.) But he besought the hon. gentlemen, on the simple ground of consideration for the overburdened shoulders of the Execu tive, to give a little time to enable them to rally from the repeated assaults to which they were exposed. It would be very much better, both for them and the Government, and to the latter it would give a peaceful interval in which they could fully consider the propriety of occupying themselves with the question. (Laughter and hear, hear.) Mr. R. GURNEY said he should support the motion, because he thought it but just that such a state of things should not exist any longer. Sir G. JENKINSON said the right hon. gentleman a the head of the Government had not taken upon himself to offer arguments againat the motion ; all he did was to ask for rest, but it was well known there was no rest for the wicked. (Laughter.) He thought the prohibition was unjust, and that there was good ground for inquiry. Mr. CRAWFORD said they did not ask the House to forejudge the question. All that was now sought was to ascertain how far these inequalities extended, and whether it was just that such should continue. Mr. MONK said he had not heard one argumen against the course he wished adopted. He hoped the officers of the Customs would avail themselves of the information that had been elicited that they were politically free. (Hear, hear.) He believed the officers of the Excise were free also, but the declaration that such was the case could only be made in a court of law or in the committee he asked for. Allhe wanted was to ascertain the status of the three branches of the Civil Service. As it seemed to be the desire of the House that he should not press his motion, he would, under such circumstances not persevere in asking for the committee. The motion was then by leave withdrawn, SUBURBAN COMMONS. Mr. COWPER movel for leave to bring in a bill to provide for the improvement, protection, and manage ment of commons and waste lands near cities and towns. The object of the bill was to withdraw all commons within a certain radius of large towns and the metropols from the operations of the Inclosure Com missioners. It was most desirable that recreation grounds should be as numerous as possible, in fact they appeared to him to Le almost a necessity, because they were highly conducive to the happiness, and improved morals of the working classes. They were the correctives to the tempta tions of the public-house and gin palace, and as they were so highly beneficial he did not think the House would refuse him leave to introduce his measure. Leave was then given to bring in the bill. CHELSEA BRIDGE. Mr. PEEK called the attention of the House to the toll on Chelsea Bridge. He said it was most desirable that the toll at present levied, which was a great hardship, should be abolished, as it acted most detrimentally to the property on either side of the water, and inflicted the utmost inconvenience on those least able to bear it. He did not think there would be any difficulty in procuring the necessary funds to extinguish the toll, as there were sixty acres of land in the vicinity of Battersea Park, which if sold would easily realise the required amount. He con cluded by moving " that in the opinion of that House the Government bridge at Chelsea should henceforth be free from toll." Mr. W. H. SMITH thought it most desirable that the bridge should be at once thrown open, and thus give facilities to those who were deserving the consideration of the House. The bridge was erected and maintained by the Government, and the Government also demanded the toll—a peculiarity which he thought was highly favour able for throwing open the bridge. Sir P. O'BRIEN said the question was whether faith should be kept with the country. The cost of the bridge was voted by Parliament on the understanding that it would be repaid, and he did not see that the hon. gentle men who had moved and seconded the proposition had shewn any good and sufficient reason why the faith then entered into should be broken. He therefore moved as an amendment that the resolution should be negatived. Mr. BRODERICK supported the resolution, on the ground that the property in the neighbourhood of the bridge would be greatly enhanced in value by the bridge being thrown open, and also because its opening would be a great boon to the poor people who inhabited the district on either bank of the river. Mr. ANDERSON said the constituency he represented grudged very much the money expended out of the public 'unds upon London. For that reason he opposed the motion. Mr. CUBITT supported the motion. The Government could not concede what was asked by the motion. He hoped they would free the bridge from toll on Saturday afternoons, in addition to Sundays, Chriamas Day, and Good Friday, on which days it was now free. Mr. AYRTON, on the part of the Government, argued that the state of the exchequer would not permit of this source of income being dispensed with. The House then divided, when the numbers were--_-_ Ayes Noes Majority against the motion ... 141 MARRIED WOMEN'S ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. On the motion of Mr. DODDS, seconded by Mr. GOLDNEY, leave was given to bring in a bill to facili tate the execution and acknowledgment of deeds by married women. ELECTION OF CORONERS. On the motion of Mr. GOLDNEY, leave was given to bring in a bill to amend the law relating to the election and office of coroneas. ADULTERATION OF FOOD. On the motion of Mr. MUNTZ, leave was given to bring in a bill to amend the Adulteration of Food or Drink Act (1860), and to extend its provision to drugs.
