Messrs. J. S. Morgan and Co. A Sinking Fund of 55,000 dollars in gold, or £ll,OOO (being 11 per cent.), will be applied, together with the inte rest on the Bonds redeemed, to the reimbursement of this loan at par within 30 years, by annual drawings, in the month of November iu each year, the first drawing to take place in November, 1873. The Bonds drawn will be paid on Ist April next following each drawing, either in gold in New York, or in sterling in Lendon, at the optiotrof the holder. The Bonds now offered are issued by the Illinois and St. Louis Bridge Company, incorporated by Acts of the States of Missouri and Illinois, and consolidated by an Act of the Congress of the United States, 20th July, 1868. They are a first charge, under a Mortgage duly registered, upon the entire property, franchises, and charter privileges of the Company. By the special Act of the Congress of the United States, the Bridge and its approaches are declared to be a national post road, thus placing . the affairs of the Company directly under the control and jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the nation. The same Act makes the principal and interest of these Bonds payable in gold coin legal and imperative, this being the only instance in which Congress has provided for the payment in gold of Bonds issued by a private corporation. The object of the . company is the connexion, by means of a permanent Bridge, of the railway system of the south west of the United States, which centres in the city of St. Louis, on the west side of the Mississippi River, with the important lines on the east side of that river. By this means the present uncertain and unsatisfactory transfer of passen gers and traffic by means of a Ferry (now frequently inter fered with, and at times totally . suspended for several days) will be avoided, and an uninterrupted communica tion between the railroads on the east and west sides of the river secured. The Bridge Company have the exclusive right to bridge the river at St. Louis for 25 years, during which period no other Bridge can be erected within a river line of eight miles. The construction of the Bridge, which is designed also to accommodate ordinary road traffic, is being actively pro ceeded with; the piers of solid masonry, founded on the rock, have been successfully built ; and a contract has been entered into with the Keystone Bridge Company at Pitts burgh (the Company by whom most of the large Railway Bridges in the United States have been built) for the superstructure, which will consist of steel and wrought iron throughout, resting upon the piers of solid masonry before mentioned. The Contractors assume all risk of manufacture and erec tion, and are under agreement to complete the Bridge ready for traffic by the Ist December, 1871. Six Railway Companies having their termini at St. Louis (including the two lines owned or controlled by the Penn sylvania Railroad, forming part of its system for through traffic between the Atlantic and Pacific seaboard) have already ratified contracts binding themselves to pass their entire traffic over the Bridge at fixed rates of tolls in per petuity. At the time the construction of the Bridge was determined on in 1868, data were obtained from the books of the three Railway Companies whose lines at that time reached East St. Louis, and it then appeared that in the year 1867 the tonnage to and from East St. Louis, .based upon the Lolls which the Bridge Company is authorised io levy, and which it may be mentioned are very consPerably in reduction of the Ferry charges, would have yielded to the Bridge a re venue of 768,683 dollars. Since then, such has been the rapid development of the country tributary to St. Louis, that it has been necessary to construct the additional lines eastward ; while ou the west side the railway mileage has more than doubled, It is safe to estimate that the revenue of the Bridge from the lines which have already contracted to u4e it cannot be loss than 1,000,000 dollars per annum, which must increase at a rapid rate. The requirement of the Bonded Debt will be 5335,000 Inte rest 5280,000 Sinking Fund 55,000 $335,000 The amount already paid up upon the Share Capital, in addition to the proceeds of the sale of the above Bonds, will be amply sufficient for completing the Bridge and its ap proaches; but, as an additional guarantee, there is an uncalled Capital of 1,800,000 dollars, and a reserve of Shares amount ing to 1,000,000 dollars. .Upon the unpaid Capital a call has been made of 600,000 dollars to provide for the payment of interest during con struction.

The success of the Foreign and Colonial Governme nt Trust, which was formed in May, 1868, has called for an extension of this mode of investment. In compliance, therefore, with a general desire, it has been determined to open a subscription for a second issue . not exceeding £600,000, in Certificates of .£ICO, to bear 5 per cent. interest, to be issued at £BO. The bbject, which is now well understood, is to give to the Investor of moderate means the same advantages as the large capitalist,in diminishing the risk of inVesting•in Foreign and Colonial Government Stocks, by spreading the investment over a number of different Stocks, and reserving a portion of the extra interest and the amounts received in redemption as a Sinking Fund to pay off the original capital ; and, in addition, to give to each Sub scriber a pro rata participation in the ultimate reversion in • these different Stocks, which will remain when the return of the original capital has by these means been accom plished. The Trust of. the Second Issue will last for twenfy-five years, at the expiration of which time it is estimated that a large proportion of the Certificates will, in all probabi lity, have been paid off, and that a large proportion of the. Stocks will still remain for distribution as a reversion ; accordingly the Trust will be wound up as soon as all the . Certificates have been drawn, or at the end of twenty-five years, whichever shall first happen, the remaining Stocks being then sold, and any . Certificates not previously drawn . being first paid off, after which the balance will form the reversion to be distributed pro rata. For each £BO of the total amount subscribed will be issued a Certificateof £lOO with Coupons attached, bearing 5 per cent. inini4 - payable at the Banking-house of Messrs. Glyn, MUls, Currie, and Co. half yearly, on the 15th of January and the 15th of July, the first Coupon for the proportion of the half year failing due on the 15th July next. In addition to the Interest Coupons, a Coupon, repre senting the share accruing to the Certificate-holder in the above reversion, will be attached to each Certificate. This Coupon of Reversion will be retained by the holder when the Certificate is drawn, and entitle him to a pro rata divi sion of the ultimate reversion. The advantages of the investment may be summed up as follows: 1. interest at £6s. be. per cent. on the amount sub scribed. 2. A bonus of £2O per cent. by the repayment of capi tal at par. 3. A revel sign, eventually divisible among the holders of the Coupons of Reversion. Application to be' made in the annexed Form accom panied by a deposit of £lO per cent.

PEACE PRESERVATION (IRELAND) BILL, The reasons of the C ommons for disagreeing to an amendment of their lordships to this bill were considered, and it being set out that the amendment in question involved the principle of taxation, it was not persisted 41 by their lordships. BANKRUPTCY (IRELAND) BILL. The ' M ar quis of CL ANICARDE brought i a bill on the that subject of bankr u p tc y in Ireland, and e x plained the measure was intended to apply chiefly to non traders. our ned at twenty-five minutes Their lordships then adjourned to six. 01JSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY. The Taker took the chair at two o'clock. THIRD READINGS. The , f dinburgh, Loa nhead, and Roslin Railwa y , and Severn n d Wye Railway, and Canal Bills were read a third t* e and passed. TRANSFER OF LAND. Mr. ]AIM asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether he did pot, when moving the first reading of the Irish Land 3;01, refer to a bill for facilitating the transfer of land as oneiof the measures which the Government proposed to introdgce : whether he did not state that these measures would apply, not to Ireland alone, but to the whole kingdom : whether the bill introduced into the other House of Parliament by the Lord Chancellcr was not the bill MI then referred to ; and ; if so, why it did not extend to Ireland and Scotland. Mr.' GLADSTONE said on introducing the Irish Land Bill the words he made use of were that in the measure propoised to be introducad, with respect to the transfer of land, the operation would not be confined to Ireland. The Bill in the . other House, it was true, only extended to Englnd, but when the substantial principles of this bill were settled, it would be easy to extend its principle to other parts of the country; but it would not be well to mix up the machinery of the two bills. He hoped to be able pass the votes during the present Session. COALS FOR STEAM SHIPS. Sir JOHN HAY asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if any reports had been received from her Majesty's ship Megnra on the subject of the coal supplied to her at SheOrness last autnmn ; and, if so, whether he would lay them upou the table of the House. Mr. CHILDERS said the coal on board the Megmra became heated during one of her voyages, and experi ments were now going on with respect to the best coal to supply to steam vessels. PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS. -- • - 14r. ArBERoN HERBERT asked the Under -Secretary to the Treasury if he would object to grant, on the application of the committees of free libraries, managed under the provisions of the Public Libraries Act. two copies of all blue books and other Parliamentary papers. Mr. STANSFIELD said the gratuitous distribution of parliamentary papers had been fully considered, and it was well-known that that which was had for nothing, was little valued. The books could all be had at very small prices, and therefore it was not thought advisable to give them gratuitiously. STAMPED ENVELOPES. Mr. JACOB BRIGHT asked the Postmaster-General whether instructions had been sent to the officials at the BianchektorY,AAce to discoutij.i.ue the, 13* of postago FOREIGN SAVINGS' BANK BILL. Mr. STANSFELD, in reply to an hon. member, said that the announcement of the second reading of the Savings Bank Bill last night by one of the morning papers was a mistake. The second reading was proposed to be taken on the 2nd of May. NEW WRIT. On the motion of Mr. NOEL, a new writ was ordered to be issued for East Devon, in the room of Lord Courtenay. PEACE PRESERVATION (IBELAND) BILL. On the Lords' amendments to this bill being taken in consideration, Mr. GLADSTONE said he should not object to any of the alterations made in the bill, except one, and as that clearly infringed the privileges of that House, involving, as it did, the principle of taxation, he therefore should move that particular amendment be disagreed to. Mr. MOORE said he had a motion on the paper with respect to the bill, and he should like to know whether that was not the proper time to bring it forward. The SPEAKER informed the hon. member that the pro per time for him to proceed was when they arrived at the particular part of the bill to which his motion directly referred. The amendments of the Lords were then read, but the *suggestions and explanations were made in such a low tone of voice that the greater portion of the members teen'ted to be at a loss - as - to the . proceedings that were taking place. At length Mr. M`Cul lagh Torrrens asked that he might have the privilege of at least hearing what was being done, as cer tainly a great number of those around him were quite in the dark as to what was doing. Mr. Recorder Gurney made some observations relative to Clause 39, and tho Solicitor-General for Ireland said it had been omitted as surplusage. Ultimately the whole of the Lords' amend ments were agreed to, except the one referred to by Mr. Gladstone, and which was to the effect of giving an appeal to the judge of assize from the presenta tion of the grand jury with respect to assessment to be • made for the compensation of the family or relations -of murdered persons. A committee was then appOinted, which consisted of Mr. Gladstone, Mr. C. Fortesc - ue, tie' Chancellor of the Exchequer, and other members to draw up reasons for the Commons disagreeing, with the amendment re ferred to. IRISH LAND BILL. The house then went into committee on the bill. On clause 2 being preposed, Mr. GLADSTONE moved the insertion of the following words :—lf, in the case of any holding not situate within the province of Ulster, it shall appear that an usage prevails which in all essential particulars corresponds with the Ulster tenant right custom, it shall, in like manner, and subject to the like conditions, be deemed legal, and shall be enforced in manner provided by this Act. The amendment was agreed to, and then it was proposed to omit the , remaining portion of the clause, with the ex ception of the above. Mr. GLADSTONE said he was now desirable as the house had settled the 'Matter relative to the Ulster custom, there were other customs where compensation was given between the incoming and outgoing tenant, apart from the arrangement with the landlord, and as that was provided for in another clause, it would complicate the discussion of the third clause if it was taken before they arrived at the proper clause. Mr. HARDY thought it would be well to leave out the rest of the clause, as proposed. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said it would be well to omit the remainder of the second clause, as proposed, the Government undertaking to bring up words at the end of the discussion in committee to deal with customs which existed in other parts of Ireland equivalent to the Ulster custom. A rather confused discussion ensued, during which Mr. GLADSTONE said he should not object to the omission of the entire clause, provided it was understood that the words they had just inserted were taken as agreed to when the remainder of the clause was brought up. Mr. B. OSBORNE said, if they were to agree to the zlause as - drawn up, it would result in throwing the South 1 Ireland into one great law-suit. In Tipperary, Kerry, mid Kilkenny there were customs that did not at all correspond with the Ulster right. As far as he could understand, although it had been said that the matter with respect to the Ulster custom has been settled, that custom had not yet been defined. In the South of Ireland the right did not exist, and one of the results of the clause would be to make the whole of the landlords in this part of the country go to law. He warned the House against confounding the usage of the south with the Ulster ens_ torn ; if they did, it could only be regarded as sending a great present to Ireland for the benefit of the lawyers. (Hear, hear.) He did not think the clause had been drawn up by the Solicitor-General, as it did not bear his style about it. (Laughter.) On the contrary, it appeared to him (Mr. Osborne) as if it had been drawn up by some gentleman not conversant with the law—(laughter)—and in a hurry. (Loud laughter.) Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Mr. B. Samuelson, said that the Government proposed a simple substitute for Clause 10, that where terms had been made with the implied or expressed consent of the landlord, it would be by making ten important alterations in Clause 6. At present that clause was limited to the case of a tenant not entitled to compensation under Sections 1 and 2 of the bill, ar either of such sections, and not entitled, or if entitled, aot having obtained compensation under Section 3rd. therefore it was limited to those tenants who must have had claims under one of the three first clauses, that was to say there were those who came under the Ulster customs, or those disturbed by the act of the landlord. that clause was only applied to certain portions of the tenantry of Ireland. But it was proposed to include ill the tenantry of the country on their going on a farm; so that any man who had paid money to pre vious 'tenants, with the consent of his landlord, would be able on retiring voluntarily from a farm to obtain corn. pensation in respect of it. In fact, to speak popularly and briefly, it would be to snake the 6th clause embrace all • the tenantry of Ireland. That would be one change. The other principal change required would be that as the clause now stood it was limited to the case s where the tenant himself, after taking, had paid money with the consent of hislandlord, it would be neces.d. sary to extend that to the tenant or predecessor after some s entitle The clause, as am ended, was negatived further discussion. The Committee proceeded to consider Clause 3, which relates to compensation in the absence of custom. Mr. DOWNING proposed an amendment, with the view of securing a minimum in the scale of compensation. Mr. FORTESCUE thought the courts might safely be left to decide the matter. It would be impossible to lay down with sufficient accuracy, the conditions which would enable them to supply a minimum compensation. The amendment was withdrawn. Mr. SIIAW moved an amendment on page 2, line 20, after "tenancy " insert " existing at the time of, or." In the course of the discussion, Mr. GLADSTONE said that as regarded prospective tenancies in Ireland there was no doubt as to the intention of the Act. They begun by recognising the need of the Irish tenant to protection in cases of eviction, which they gave him in the shape of damages for eviction. That holding would, no doubt, be a tenancy from year to year, and therefore prima facie they must protect the tenant from year to year, but did not protect the tenant, who had a lease. They must evidently determine by the Act what kind of lease was to save a tenant from a claim for damages. The purpose which the Government had in view was not to give perpetuity, but stability of tenure. They thought that stability of tenure was received by a lease under certain conditions, if it be, granted for a term of not less than 31 years. The amendment was agreed to. Lord ELCIIO complained that the amendments of the solicitor-General, which was not put upon the paper, had precedence of those amendments w hich had been printed by hon. members. Ur. WillArsiihn P401.91./4 A 41.11 . 59 3 l_i_ao.ligie_a_lo out the words disturbed in his holding by the Act," and to insert instead the following :—" Evicted by or conse quent upon notice to quit, from landlord." .He thought the original words .`disturbed in his holding" were too vague intlicir meaning, and. therefore he thought it would be well for the House to accept his proposal. The clause was altogether very badly drawn. Colonel BARTTELOTT said the present was a most-impor tant amendment, and he should like to have it clearly stated whether a tenant who had a lease for 31 years, and who might receive a notice to quit, prior to the comple tion of the last year of his term, for bad farming, had a right to go in and claim compensation. He thought that a man ought to have recouped himself for all improve ments he had made during the thirty years of occupancy, and therefore he ought to have no claim on the landlord. Mr. SYNAN thought the effect of the amendment, if agreed to, would be to deprive a great part of the tenantry of Ireland of compensation. Mr. HEADLAM said he had raised the same question further on in the clause. Mr. GLADSTONE said he could not agree to the meta.' ment, because it was verbally quite ambiguous; but that was not all. The amendment made a most important proposition. It was that a person who took a farm from' year to year shouid be protected, and have damages for' eviction, but that a person who took a lease for two years or even a year and a day, should be deprived of all pro tection. The adoption of the amendment would be simply the destruction of the bill, and therefore he should give the proposal his strongest opposition. He regretted that the proposition should have received the approval of the right hon. gentleman the member for Newcastle. A short discussion followed, during which Mr. Hunt said he thought it was most important that the meaning `et the term " disturbed" should be more clearly defined than it was at present in the bill, an opinion in which Dr. Ball agreed, the learned gentleman stating that in the event of the Government not taking the subject in hand he.should feel it, his duty to submit a proposition to the . House, with a view of making the mean ing of the term clearer. The amendment was withdrawn in favour of that which stood in the name of the member for Newcastle. Mr. SHAW moved an amendment as follows :—Clause 3, page 3, line 1, leave out from "landlord" to "land" in line 35, and insert " such notice of disturbance shall be signed by the landlord, and state fully the reason why possession of such holding is sought, and if such reason shall appear to the judge sufficient and just, he shall decree possession, .- and the tenant • shall be entitled to such compensation, to he paid by the landlord, as the judge may think fair and reasonable. On granting such compensation the: judge shall estimate the injury sustained by the tenant by reason of disturbance in his occupation. He shall estimate the value of reclama tion and drainages and of buildings and im provements made by the tenant or his predecessor in title, and suitable to the farm, and also of unexhausted lanure and tillages. Mr. FORTESCUE objected to the amendment. He thought the county courts with which the Irish people were most familiar were the proper tribunals to appeal to. After some discussion, the amendment was with.:: drawn. Mr. FORTES= then moved an amendment, the object of which was to effect entirely, that which had only been I effected partially, by the bill as it was originally framed, l namely, the separation of the question of improvements from the scale for damages for eviction. Dr. BALL said - this was the commencement of a coma. plete scheme on the part of the right hon. gentleman to alter the original plan as regarded compensation. It also indicated some intention to interfere with the provisions and take out of that clause altogether certain conditions., of tenure. He hoped the House, would not consent to the altered proposition now submitted to it, but that it would compel the Government to retain the original wording of the clause, if it did not accept the amendment of his right hon. friend the member for Buckinghamshire. Mr. GLADSTONE denied that it was attempted, by the proposed amendment to introduce a new principle in bill, and and he did not see th ere was any ground for the warm declamation of Lthe hon. gentleman opposite. He (Mr. Gladstone) distinctly referred to the promised amendment in moving the second reading, as it was most important that the compensation for improvement and the damages for eviction should be clearly set out. What he advised was, that the present amendment should be received as a verbal one, which, if passed, would enable them to start fair on Monday with the consideration of the proposals of the right honourable, member for Buckingham and his right hon. friend near him. Mr. DISRAELI said he quite agreed with the hon. ana , learned gentleman, the member for the University of; i Dublin, that the proposed amendment would be a com-, i plete revolution in the proposals of the bill. It was, in, his opinion, a new scheme involving altogether a new bill. Sir R. PALMER said it appeared to him the words were mere surplusage, and there would be no danger in agreeing to the proposal of his right hon. friend. Mr. HARDY said if the amendment was agreed to as a verbal one, it should be clearlyunderstoodthaf the amend, ment of his right hon. friend (Mr. Disraeli) should have precedence on Monday. Mr. GLADsToNE said that proposal was a fair one. The amendment of Mr. C. Fortescue was then agreed to, and the sitting of the House was suspended untilninq o'clock. The House resumed at nine o'clock. SUPPLY.—TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN. On the motion to go into committee of supply, Mr. FAWCETT rose and moved " That this House regards with satisfaction the memorial lately presented to the Prime Minister by the Provost, professors, tutors, and other authorities of Trinity College, Dublin, in favour of united or undenominational academical education in Ire land ; and this House is of opinion that it is highly expe dient that the Government should, with the least delay possible, give effect to the prayer of this memorial by in troducing a measure which would not only free the fellow ships, scholarships, and other emoluments and honours of Trinity College, Dublin, from all religious disabilities, but which would further provide that those who are not mem bers of the Established Church might, within a reasonable time, obtain an adequate influence in the government of the College." The motion was seconded by Mr. PLUNKETT, one of the members for the University of Dublin, who said that he did so with the full concurrence of his right hon. colleague, Dr. Ball. Sir H. HoAu moved the adjournment of the debate. The motion, after some slight opposition, was agreed to, and the House adjourned at 20 minutes past one.

CAPTURE OF A FRAUDULENT BANRiek: ."-:- A - clever capture of a fraudulent bankrupt, under the clauses of the new Debtors' Act, has just been effected by Detective Spibey, of the Derby Borough Police. It appears that on the 22nd . of I?ebruary ? Daniel O'Connor, an extensive elastic web manufacturer. decamped from Derby, taking with him a large sum of money believed to belong to his creditors. A warrant was immediately applied for by Mr. Allen, solicitor, Derby, on behalf of the petitioning creditor, and on the 3rd of March Detective Spibey was despatched by the Head Constable to arrest O'Connor if possible. He traced him to Paris, and succeeded in apprehending him at Havre, where he had booked to leave for America in the Cimbria.
