Mr. PELL described the debate as dull, which, ha said, was in a great measure owing' 'to the surprisa. with which the bill fell' upon the suspicions... of the Opposition, who had failed to expect very alarming propositions, with regard to the rights of property in Ire land, but who in reality found a measure that resolved upon a temperate solution of Ireland's wrongs.

PALMER congratulated the Government on having succeeded in producing a measure important enough to re deem it from the imputation of fe,bleness ; but sufficiently in accordance with the principles of justice to redeem it from the charge of revolution. It was a just and wino ~ , chente. 'I ha hon. and karued gentleman minutely criti cised the various provisions, and instanced several clauses which would require amendment with a view to the con ferring of the proper legal powers for carrying out the spirit of the act. - In conclusion, ho expressed a very decideit opinion that, if aher its passing strung nu Asures were not taken fur the enforcement and vindication of the existing criminal law, it 'would be Ude better than waste paper; awl nothing but a firm conviction that the Government would. not shrink from such a course would have led him to supt ur•t them at all on the present occaaion.

On March Ist will be published, Price One Sbiiling, PAEZ ONE or Earl BEAUCI-LiMP moved that the second reading of the bill, the object of which was to sanction the election of non-resident ratepayers to the office of churchwarden. The Earl of MoRLEY did not think the bill necessary, but still he should not offer it any opposition. Mr. CARDWELL was not aware that he had used any phrase that made it appear he was not aware of the system of paying over the regulation price. He had already stated that on Monday next he should state the course it was intended to take, and in the meantime nothing should be done to prejudice the cause of the subalterns. He would advise that the hon. member should not continue any meeting that might be held, which might turn out to be opposed to the rules of the service. e 13,100 iu Lir inquiry' fr'w 'FRE DEAF & DUMB.—The Committee of the -I_ JEWS DEAF and DUMB HOME are prepared to receive APPL ECIZr lONS for the ADMISSION of DEAF and DUMB CHILDREN, of all denominations, as Day Pupils, for instruction in audible speech and lip-reading.

The Earl of CARNARVON said he thought the most im portant point in the bill was the power it gave to any subject to remove the allegation. The existing law, he admitted, was not adopted to the altered circumstances in which we were placed. The vast extension that had taken place in our communication with other countries and the existence of large English speaking Power like the United States, demanded the introduction of the measure which the Lord Chancellor had brought forward.

NEW MEMBER, Mr. Bernal Osborne, on taking the oath and his seat for the city of Waterford, was introduced by Mr. W. H. Gregory and Mr. Bagwell, and was saluted with loud cheers. NOTICE OF AMENDMENT ON THE IRISH LAND BILL. Mr. M'CULLAGH TORRENS gave notice that in committee on the Irish Land Bill he would move an amendment on Clause 2 by giving power to the Landed Estates Court in Ireland, and to the Court of Chancery in Ireland, to grant to solvent tenants leases of 31 years. THE ELEMENTARY EDUCATION BILL. Mr. DIXON gave notice that on the second reading of this bill he would move that no system could be permanent or satisfactory which left the support of the schools to be determined by local authorities. UNION RATING. Mr. M`MArioN asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland what course he proposed to take with regard to union rating. Mr. FORTESCUE said he proposed a select committee. SCOTCH GAME LAWS. Mr. HARDCASTLE asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the bill for the amendment of the Game Laws, to be brought in by the Government would include England as well as Scotland. Mr. RIICCE said the bill enly referred to Scotland, but there was no reason why it should not extend to England, KENSINGTON GARDENS. Mr. EASTIVICK asked the First Commissioner of Works if he had observed that a number of elms, oaks, beeches, and plane trees in Kensington Gardens and St. James's Park had been maimed And decapitated so as to have become a deformity instead of an ornament in the public parks ; and whether he will give orders to prevent this process in future, and replace the mutilated trees with young plants. Mr. AYRTON said the policy of the Commissioners was when a tree exhibited decay to lop off the branch, rather than cut the whole tree down. THE CHANGES IN THE ARMY. Lord EUSTACE CECIL asked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention had been called to a paragraph, page 21, of the report of the royal commission appointed to inquire into the system of purchase in the army, and whether, with that report in existence, the authorities at the War Office or at the Horse Guards could, in his opinion, be said to have been or to be officially ignorant of the fact that officers in all the purchase corps of the army had been in the habit of paying over regulation money for their promotion ; and whether it was true that circulars had been lately sent round to officers commanding cavalry regiments, requesting them to send back a retnrn of the amount of money they had paid for their commissions over the regulation price. Mr. CARDWELL was aware of the large pecuniary interest involved in the over-regulation prices. He justi fied those prices on the ground of expediency, and said he had not heard anything at the War Office or the Horse Guards with reference to the circular. THE PURCHASE SYSTEM. Major ANSON asked the Secretary of State for War if it was true that the War Office had received in the last eight years a sum of half a million sterling from the pur chase officers. If the whole of that money had been ap plied to their benefit ; and, if not, to what purposes it had been applied. And whether it was true that notice had been given to half-pay officers that they could not be allowed to sell, as there were no funds to meet the cost of their commissions. Mr. CARDWELL was understood to express his regrets, and to say that it was out of his power to remedy the cir cumstances. PROMOTION IN THE ARTILLERY. Mr. STAcrooLE asked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention had been called to a statement prepared by Mr. Sprague, vice-president of the Society of Acturies, sheaving that under the present rules of promo tion officers in the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers would in a few years have no chance of obtaining the rank of second captain till they were forty years of age. And whether he was prepared to bring forward any mea sure for rectifying so unsatisfactory a state of affairs. Mr. CARDWELL said his attention had been called to retirement in the Royal Artillery. The subject was one of great complexity, but an inquiry into the financial bearing of the case was now going on under the direction of his gallant friend the Under-Secretary of War. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. Mr. HIBBEBT asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he intended to bring in a bill this session to alter and amend the law of murder, either by carrying out the unanimous recommendations of the Capital Punishment Commissioners, or in some other manner. Mr. BRUCE said he regretted he should not be able to introduce any measure on the subject during the present session. ME. MADDEN. Mr. HAvitAND-BunKE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether it was a fact within his knowledge that an address of sympathy had been presented to Mr. Madden, late a magistrate of the counties of Monaghan, Leitrim, Cavan, and Fermanagh, and late a Deputy Lieutentant of the county of Monaghan ; and, if so, whether that address had been signed by any magistrate or Deputy Lieutenant of those counties ; and whether it was the fact as reported that such address contained expressions of sympathy couched in language similar in spirit to that for which Mr. Madden was dismissed. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said he believed it was open to a judge, like other ordinary persons, to express his opinions, and he believed an address of sympathy had been presented to Mr. Madden, but he could not say what were the precise terms of the address. Mr. Madden, however, had used certain words and expressions in an official document, while in communication with the Lord-Lieutenant which made his case different from that of other persons. EXAMINATION OF FEMALES. Mr. JACOB BRIGHT asked the Secretary of State for the Home Departm%pt, whether an English woman of the name of Elizabeth Holt was now or had recently been a prisoner in Maidstone Goal because she declined to subject her person to the fortnightly inspection of a surgeon. And, whether her refusal or the refusal of any other woman to submit to this outrage would be followed by repeated periods of imprisonment so as to amount practi cally to perpetual incarceration. Mr. BRUCE said the person spoken of had been sent to the hospital no less than five times, and that she had absented herself from attending the surgeon ac directed by the magistrate. In January last a warrant had been issued against her, and she had been sent to Maidstone jail for 14 days. THE PURCHASE REGIMENTS. Colonel WHITE asked the Secretary of State for 'War iiin.thu would consent to postpone all dinuula upon, EDUCATION. In answer to Sir John Pakington, Mr. GLADSTONE said he was unable to give any posi tive assurance till after the present debate. Until to morrow night he was unable to speak absolutely on the 4 Edtreation The-right hon. gentleman-took this op portunity of answering a question put the other evening by the member for Oxford University, with regard to two bills affecting the ownership and succession of land. He hoped to be able next week to introduce two bills, one relating to intestacy, and the other to the power of transfer of land. THE LAND BILL. ' In answer to Mr. BATESON, Mr. GLADSTONE said he could not allow a lapse between the second reading and going into committee on the Irish Land Bill. CHELSEA BRIDGE. Mr. W. H. SMITH asked the Frst Lord of the Treasury whether, taking into consideration that Saturday after noon had recently become a general half holiday among the working classes in the Metropolis, and that Battersea Park was much resorted to by them as a place of recrea tion, her Majesty's Government would consent to remit the toll for foot passengers on Chelsea Bridge after two o'clock on Saturdays, in extension of the privilege was now enjoyed on Sundays and on other holidays. Mr. GLADSTONE said he could not remit the toll at the expense of the public, but if the Metropolitan Board of Works made a proposition putting the saddle on the right horse, he would promise its consideration. UNSATISFACTORY CONDITION OF TELE ' GRAPH COMMUNICATION. Mr. CRAWFORD gave notice that on an early day he would call attention to the present unsatisfactory condi tion of internal telegraphic communication. THE IRISH LAND BILL. -.1( On the order being read from the table for the second reading of this bill, Colonel WILSON PATTEN - rose and resumed the debate. He started by saying that he should give his support to the second reading of the bill ; but he believed the Government would never have propounded such a mea sure except under the most extraordinary circumstances, inasmuch as it contained provisions contrary to all pre viously recognised principles of holding land. It appeared to him to oppose freedom of contract. There was some justification, however, for the Government in the extaor dinary circumstances in which they found themselves, placed. Its defects could be amended in committee, and he hoped both sides of the House would unite in carrying the measure to the second reading. Whatever he might personally ',think with regard to the legislation of last session, there was no doubt it had obtained for the right hon. gentleman at the head of the Government the goodwill of all nations, and that circumstance should induce the right hon. gentleman to treat the House and the Opposition with all reasonable con cession. He refrained from discussing the clauses now, preferring rather to consider them in committee. His feelings, however, were rather against the Ulster tenant right than for it. His objection to tenant-right was that it was not conducive to the interests of agriculture. He did not think it possible to define the tenant-right of Ulster without doing much injustice to Ireland generally. There were certain clauses, in fact he confessed he could not see how they could be brought into operation without clashing with other enactments. Take, for instance, the Peace Preservation Act, and as he read the enactments of the present bill the property of a man who might be shot down would be taxed and made liable for the expenses of apprehending the assassin. He hoped the Government would not omit to give due weight to the whole of the suggestions that had been thrown out during the debate, in order that the bill might be made as perfect as possible. Mr. Hosssusr said the speech of the right hon. gentle man who had just sat down had given him the greatest pleasure, and he felt it must be highly satisfactory to the Government to hear that those who act with the right hon. gentleman had determined to offer no opposition to the second reading of the bill. That circum stance proved that the principle of the bill was good, and that it formed an acceptable basis for legis lation. It was highly satisfactory to find that such a feeling prevailed, because it gave the best assurance that it was the wish of both sides of the House that a peaceful solution should be had of a question that at one time looked fenced round with diffi culties of more than an ordinary nature, The present question at one time seemed destined to bailie the skill of every person who attempted to deal with it, and in enter ing on the task the present Government took the field in a very different form to that in which they did with re spect to the Irish Church, because on this question they did so without having a pledged majority at their back. They knew they had a difficult question to deal with, but no doubt they felt that if they did so in a wide and efficient manner, they would meet with the support of Parliament, and thus carry their efforts to a successful termination. It had occasioned him great surprise to find that a measure had been brought forward which had met up to the present stage, at least, with the support of both sides of the House ; and he must further say that he had never known a measure that had been handled so tenderly by the Opposition. The right hon. gentleman had appealed to those who sat on the opposite side of the House to approach the consideration of the matter in no party spirit, to lay aside party feeling, and unite with them in perfecting a measure which should give in : . creased peace and prosperity to Ireland, and that appeal certainly up to the present stage had been warmly answered. When the bill was introduced it was 4ot said that it was not open to change. On the contrary, the Government threw the bill open wide to amendments, and it appeared to be their desire that anyone who had a proposition to improve the bill should have 'the fullest opportunity open to him of doing so. (Hear, hear.) Both sides were wanted to come forward with amendments, and if they could only show that they were calculated to bring about peace, contentment, and security tq, Ireland, each would be most readily accepted—(hear, hear) —because it was clearly shewn that no amendment could be made which the Government would not consider in committee and accept, provided they could do so without swerving from the main principles of the bill. One of the great difficulties that had to be overcome, was the question with respect to the Ulster tenant-right over the whole of Ireland, but before he could give his vote in support of that proposition it must be shewn most clearly that it was for the benefit oflre land that such an arrangement should be carried into effect, and what were the rights of property that couldbe exercised with the same freedom and safety in Ireland as in Eng land. A landlord in Ireland could not use his tenants as he pleased. He could not evict them ;he could not raise their rents. But that could be done in England. We were not to assume that the landlords in Ireland were responsible for the present state of things. They were the victims of circumstances. The rule now whatever it may have been before, was for good landlords in Ireland; the bad were the exception. (Cheers.) What the tenants complained of was, three main grievances— liability to eviction, confiscation of improvements, and liability to rack rent. This bill made the power of evic tion more impossible. Compensation it made certain. And it changed the presumption of the law which hereto fore had given the benefit of improvements to landlords. Moreover, the local security which it gave to the land lords added immensely to the value of their estates. (Hear, hear.) It was the best measure that had ever been brought forwarbaublioitia oriyatelLto zombi tho Sir J. GILAY opposed the bill, because ho was not merely persuaded, but because ho knew that it would be unsatisfac tory to the country. It was intended to pacify the people, but it would fail even in that; and although he had long cherished the idea, and laboured for its development, of a real union of heart between the two nations, such a bill as the present would never bring it about. lie denied that the measure would in any way increase security of tenure. He further objected to the bill on the ground that it would prove most partial and unequal in its operation. Mr. MOISSELL warned the section of the Irish members who were in favour of the amendment of the tremendous responsibility which they assumed, and proceeded to contend that the bill was tar n,oro•-bberal iu its. provisions thin any scheme of tenant right over propounded to Parliament by Mr. Dully or Mr. M 'Mahon. lie trusted no one would be so misguided as to press fora divizion on the second reading. Mr. G. HARDT contended . that the moral and material state of Ireland had been much better for the last few years than heretofore, and would have continued so were it not for those who made a trade of agitation by stirring the people up to demand things which they would otherwise never have thought of. He confessed frankly that ho was not particularly enamoured of the system of Ulster Tenant Law, seeing that that did not prevent evictions, since in that province, in pro portion to its population, there were more than in any other part of the .country. The right hon. gentleman entered into a close criticism of the wording of the bill in order to show that it was vague, incomplete and unsatisfactory, especially the clauses relating to compensation, which, as they at present stood, was almost meaningless. Ho _trusted the bill would be amended in committee ; but however per feet it was made it would be of no avail unless the general law was firmly administered. On the motion of Mr. W. 11. GREGORY the debate was ad journed, Mr. GLADSTONE expressing a hope that it would be allowed to terminate to-morrow. Tho remaining business was rapidly run through, and the House adjourned. AMENDMENT OP 'ME MEnlait.i. Arrrg_ THURSDAY. This afternoon a deputation of medical practitioners hal an interview with the Right Hon. the Home Secretary at his official residence, Whitehall, on the subject of the Amendment of the Medical Acts. There was a large at tendance, including Mr. George Dixon, M.P., who intro duced the deputatian. Sir J. C-ray, M.P., Dr. Brady, M.P., and Mr. Figgins, M.P. Dr. BALL FLETCHER presented the following memorial which had been signed by 9,724 legally qualified medi cal practitioners : " The Act of 1858 affirms that `it is expedient that persons requiring medical aid should be enabled to distinguish qualified from unqualified practi timers.' The experience of the past ten years has proved that the Act is practically inoperative as a guide to aia public in distinguishing legally qualified members of the medical profession. A large number of men are practising medicine and surgery in different parts of the country, not only without any legal qualifica tion, but without having undergone any regular course of medical education. In some places men are practising under fictitious names, assuming the title of doctor, and obtaining considerable sums of money from weak persons, by intimidation and extortion. The 11ledi cal Act of 1858 is practically inoperative in -restraining these offenders. It is capable of proof that some legally qualified men have lent their names to persons without qualification, to enable them to practice medicine and surgery without incurring liability to prosecution. Such a proceeding is regarded as a fraud on the public and the profession ; and it is suggested that in any future bill greater powers be given to the General Medical Council to remove from the register, and deprive of their profes sional rights, qualified men who shall aid and abet illegal Practitioners. The present state of the law touching certificates of death greatly favours the successful practice of secretpoisoning and infanticide. It i 3 suggested that the certificate of a legally-qualified member of the medical profession, in the absence of a coroner's order, shall be in dispensable as a preliminary to every burial. The Medical Act of 1858 purports to constitute the General Medical Council for the purpose of regulating medical education and registration throughout the United Kingdom ; but composed as the Council is, mainly, of the mem bers of the medical corporations who grant licences to practice, the control of the _sys tem of medical education has proved to be very iippe The undersigned are of opinion that the syst education should be revised, so as to ensure of a thoroughly scientific and practical medicine and surgery, on the part of 1.). the legal qualification. To this end, it is _ sary to substitute for the present system tion, and for the many forms of practice now granted, one high standard of examination, and one 1. The practical . part of the course of profes stands in special need of improvement, and signed would gladly see the regulations made ensure the attendance of students on a thor practical study in hospitals ; but in the event engaging in private .practice on his own respon he is legagally qualified, it is suggested that year, or years, as a student during which he has It is respectfully, but very earnestly, submit influence and power for good of the Gen Council would be greatly extended with th and the public if provision were made in a Parliament for the representation in the co general body of practitioners of medicine and are now, for the most part, deprived of an 7 franchise. In any,future A c t of Parliament that provision be made for instituting pros it by a public prosecutor or other public f behalf of the General Medical Council, in the voluntary enforcement of the law to in undersigned desire to obtain no privileges sion, without giving the public commensur and they submit that an Act of Parliame to raise the standard of professional efficiei life, and prevent the obtaining of money on is an Act as much needed in the general community, as for the welfare and honour o: Profession." Mr. SAMPSON GAMGEE spoke strongly in memorial, more particularly on the alterations which they suggested would by giving greaten security, that medical should be legally and properly qualified. Sir J. GRAY, M.P.. also urged that the would act very wisely if they would br prehensive measure on the subject. every word of the memorial, and the right hon. gentleman that he great pains to ascertain the opinions of t profession in Ireland, and he believed he could they all approved of it. They felt that at public had no safety that there was a sours practical examination to test the capi those who sought admission into the profession. The public ought to have guarantee that there should be a As the medical corporations depended to a gre; fees, there was a tendency to reduce the er qualifications to the lowest degree. Dr. BRADY, M.P., in the course of som. matter, said that during the last twenty corporate bodies had progressed very cons: that they had greatly improved the status of tl Sir J. GRAY, M.P.: Hear, hear. Dr. BRADY, M.P., hoped the Government duce a comprehensive measure.
