(Laughter and cries of " No, no.") With respect to the Irish Land Bill, in case they should find it impossible to dispose of the bill before Easter, inasmuch as it partly related to occupation of land, and partly to the ownership of land, and the several Clauses were perfectly separable one from the other, he felt confident that they would be able to clear off all the clauses relating to occupation, before Easter. One reason why they should have a morning sitting was this, that the Peace Preservation (Ireland) Bill, had come back from the Lords with certain verbal amendments. There was, however, one amendment of substance, and they could not think of proposing that amendment to the House without giving hon. memhers, especially those rep resenting Irish constituencies, full opportunity of consider ing it. He should wish that the amendment should be considered at two o'clock on the following day. Mr. DISRAELI protested against the proposition for morning sittings. He did not think the House could sup pose for a moment that by breaking through the rule of the House they could hope to carry the bill as far as the occupation clauses before Easter, as it was a matter that could not be disposed of without ample discussion. and therefore he hoped that the right hon. gentleman would hesitate before he pressed the House to make a change in the ordinary mode of conducting the business of the House. He - never recollected, in all his experience the House being called upon to have mornisg sittings before Easter. WINAHA.N'S LL - WHISKY - DUBLIN. • E 1865. ' MR. DICKENS'S NEW WORK.

THO'" 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 xteo, to bear 5 per cent. interest, to be issued at £BO. The object, which is now well understood, is to give to the Investor of moderate means the same advantages as the large capitalist, iu 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 e3riber 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 twenty-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 Certificate of £lOO with Coupons attached, bearing 5 per cent. interest, payable at the Banking-house of Messrs. Glyn, Mills, 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 falling due on the 15th July next. In addition to the Interest Coupons, a Coupon, repre senting the share accruing to the Certificate-bolder 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 Vs. be. per cont. on the :amount sub scribed. 2. A bonus of £2O per cent. by the repayment of capi tal at par. 3. A reversion, eventually divisible among the holders of the Coupons of Reversion. Application to be made in the annexed Worm, accom panied by a deposit of £lO per cent.

W PAINLESS and PRACTICAL DENTISTRY, by Mr. B. L. Al OSELY, the Dentist by special appointment, 312, REGENT-STREET, exactly opposite the Royal Polytechnic, and 23, Mooacura-STREET, CITY. Established 1820. This, the most perfected system of painless dentistry, originated and invented by Mr. B. L. Mosely, is recommended by the. Hospitals and adopted by the profession as one of the . greatest improvements of the age for the alleviation of pain and restoration of the natural functions, can solely be obtained in such perfected success (the result of forty years' practical experience) at hia only residences, as above. The superlative excellence of this system is perfect immunity from pain, no operations, stumps and decayed teeth rendered useful, loose teeth •and tender gums protected. Qualities: These teeth never change colour or decay—in fit unerring ease and comfort unsurpassed —detection impossible—the facial anatomy faithfully studied - and youthful appearance restored—mastication and arti culation guaranteed. The " Times" of March 6 says :—" So good an imitation becomes the• next best thing to the original." Teeth from 55.; sets, sto 30 guineas. Consultation free.—Only addresses, 312, Regent-street, exactly facing the Royal Polytechnic; and 23, Moorgate-street, E. C., opposite the Star Insurance Office. THE SHAH OF PERSIA.—The Shah tai i'arsia has' paid a visit to Euseli on the shore of the Caspian. He was received with groat ceremony by a high Russian official, and three steamers were placed at his disposal. It is believed that his Majesty will open the • harbour of Euseli to Russian traders. RUSSIA AND TIIE EAST.—General Tadieyeff, who wrote the pamphlet recommending Russia to crush Austria in order to settle the Eastern question, is publishing a series of articles on the "'Theatre of the NVar in the Black Sea." He dissuades the Government from wasting its strength in the defence of the Crimea. He is in favour of the establishment of a Russian fleet in the Baltic which should be capable of coping with that of Great Britain. He declares that Russian policy should be that of attack and not of defence. So important an empire should secure herself against aggression by being always ready to assume w_ I the offensive. • - - CHURCHWARDENS' ELIGIBILITY BILL. Mr. MONK gave notice that on the motion for the second reading of this bill, he should move that the bill be read a second time that day six months. LIGHTHOUSES. Mr. Pmr asked the Secretary to Board of Trade why the recommendation of Professor Tyndall, for the further encouragement in Ireland of the system of illuminating lighthouses with gas instead of oil, as given in his report to the Board of Trade on the 29th'June last, has not been acted on ; and whether it was the fact that the Commis sioners of Irish Lights have asked the consent of the Board of Trade to apply the gas to the lighthouses at Mino Head and Hook . Tower, and that that consent had been withheld by the Board of Trade. Mr. LEFEvnE said that in consequence of the report mentioned, the subject had been referred to the Northern Lights Commissioners, but as there appeared to be a great difference of opinion with respect to the use of oil or gas it had been thought best to have some experi;iiehts made which were now going on, and Until those experiments were concluded no alteration of the pre sent system would be Made. It was quite true that the two applications had been made and refused, but it was because the experiments he had referred had not been completed, SALE OF POISONS- Mr. AGAR-ELLIS asked the Solicitor General for Ireland whether there was any law in Ireland for the prevention of the unlimited sale of poisons ; and, if not, whether it was the intention of Government to bring in a measure for that purpose, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for Ireland said their was an Act regulating the sale of arsenic in Ireland, but the provisions of the Pharmacy Act did not extend to that country. After Easter he proposed to introduce a short bill for extending that Act to Ireland. SUFFRAGAN BISHOPS. Mr. BOWRING asked out of what funds it was intended that the salaries of the Suffragan Bishops now in course of appointment in various parts of the country shall be paid, and whether it was the intention of Her Majesty's Government to propose to Parliament any alteration in the present law. Mr. GLADSTONE said that only two suffragan bishops had been appointed, viz., Lincoln and Canterbury, and there was no intention of appointing them throughout the country, and he had never heard of any further appli cation for the appointment than the two to which he had referred. The fund out of which these suffragan bishops were paid, was entirely a matter between the bishop and the suf. fragan, andno sumwas taken from any public fund for the purpose. The Crown had a power over the selection and ap pointment of the suffragan bishops, and no alteration of the present law was needed. INLAND POSTAGE. Mr. Gthis asked the First Lord of the Treasury, whether her Majesty's G overnment were prepared to make a statement to the House with reference to their intentions as to a reduction of Inland Postage on printed matter and newspapers, so as to obviate the necessity of his asking for a day before Easter for its discussion, in accordance with the arrangements entered into when postponing his motion for a reduced postage. Mr. GLADSTONE said his noble friend near him (the Marquis of Hartington) would more than likely surrender at discretion to the hon. member who had so earnestly ad vocated the change, and he would make a statement to him that he felt would very likely be satisfactory. How ever, in the event of its not being so, he (Mr. Gladstone) would promise him an opportunity before the Budget of bringing forward the question. Mr. GRAVES said after the announcement of the right hon. gentleman he could not doubt the bona fide intention of the Government in dealing with the question, and therefore he should leave the matter in the hands of the right honourable gentleman and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. FOREIGN DEBTS. Mr. SOMERSET BEAUMONT asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any debts were owed by Spain or Portugal to this country : and if so, ha would specify the same. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said Spain was in debted to this country for stores supplied during the Peninsular War—(laughter)—to the amount of £7,700,000, and Portugal, for the same service, £2,489,000—(10nd laughter)—and no Government had ever surrendered the claim, - Mr. HUNT asked if the present Government had made any demand for the settlement of the claim. The CI INCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied in the negative. NEUTRALITY. Mr. GREGORY asked the 'Under Secretary of State for Foreign pairs whether it was the intention of the Goverment to bring in a bill to amend our neutrality laws, in accordance with the recommendations of the late Royal Commission. ifr. OTWAY said he regretted he should not belable to Ns. introduce a bill during the prerent session. THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. Mr. TIPPING asked the First Commissioner of Workil . if it was true, as stated in the Builder newspapaper, that he had demanded of the architect the drawings of the Houses of Parliament ; and if he was aware that the Royal Institute of British architects had declared that such a demand was not in accordance with professional custom, according to which such drawings were the pro perty of the architect. Mr. AYRTON said he had applied for the drawings and 10, b 7 - 0 - reluma he had stihMi4ed the Alai, ut .as theY_Wer Sir JOHN PAKINGTON asked the Secretary to the Board of Trade whether he could now give any information as to the nine steam vessels lost, seven of which are said to have foundered at sea since the Ist of January; and whether any, and hoW many, of these cases had been made the subject of formal inquiry. Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE replied that he had made inquiries of the Board of Trade, and found that they had received information respecting eight casualties which had occurred to steam vessels from the commencement of the year to date when the question was put. Two were cases of col lisions, and the other six were reported as having foundered. One, the Sea Queen foundered. The eight vessels were totally lost. As to the remaining vessels they had received no information at all. In the case of four of the vessels inquiries were made at the instance of the Board of Trade into the circumstances attending their loss. He could not give the precise number of the vessels lost between the dates mentioned, _ but he hoped shortly to lay before the House the returns for 1869, shelving the exact number of vessels lost, and stating in what instances loss of life occurred. The Board of Trade only instituted inquiries into the loss of vessels when circumstances appeared to justify an investigation. Inquiries were made in consequence of the misconduct of officers, or when the vessel was sent to sea in an unseaworthy and overloaded condition. RAILWAYS. Mr. CRAWFORD asked the Secretary to the Board of Trade when the annual compilation of statistical matters relating to railways in the United Kingdom, for the year 186 S and 1869, might be expected to be laid, as heretofore, upon the table of the House. Mr. SHAW.LEFEVRE replied that the Railway Returns for 1869 would shortly be laid before the House. The returns for 1868 were still very incomplete. Many Rail way Companies had omitted to send information for that year. In 1867 the Board of Trade had statutory powers, calling upon railway companies to make returns, whilst in 1868 they had to rely upon their voluntary assistance. THE CENTRAL HALL. Mr. ARTHUR GUEST asked the First Commissioner of Works whether, adverting to the statement of the First Lord of the Treasury respecting the difficulty of deciding on the completion of the decoration of the Central Hall, it was the intention of the Government, before coming to a conclusion, to consult the architect of the Houses of Parliament, from whose designs the works have been com menced. Mr. AYBTON announced that it was premature to make such on appointment before the Government bad _decided to prosecute the wish. FOREIGN POSTAGE. In answer to Mr. W. H. Smith, ,„ The Marquis of HARTINOTON said he regretted the in convenience that had arisen to newspaper proprietors in consequence of the alteration that had taken place in the rates of postage on newspapers going abroad, but it had arisen with the view of doing away with the inconvenience of having so many varied rates. He further regretted that the alteration had taken place at so short a notice. THE BALLOT. noon Mr. WHITBREAD asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Government would be able, on an early day, to bring in their Bill for taking the votes at Parliamentary Elections by ballot, and for providing the other securities for the purity and freedom of Elections recommended in the Report of the Committee on Municipal and Parlia mentary Elections. Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply, said that that at the time so many subjects for legislation were mentioned in the Queen's Speech, the Government were conscious of the difficulty of dealing with them all. But they knew, on the other hand, that the public mind was in a very lively state of expectation with regard to them, and, therefore, the Government were disposed to take a sanguine view and lay before Parliament everything they thought there was a fair hope of being legislated upon. The Irish Crime Bill had very seriously interfered with the pro gress of business, although he freely admitted that the Government had not the slightest disposition to complain of the time occupied in discussing that bill. The most important business of the session for which the Govern ment were responsible he should divide into three groups. In the first place there were four bills which they thought it right to place before the other bills mentioned in the Queen's Speech, speaking generally. The first was the Irish Land Bill, and considering the vast importance of that measure, they thought it their duty to use every effort in their power to make every demand upon the patience and the indulgence of the House, for the sake of pressing forward the measure ; and not only with the view of getting it through that House, but with the view to that which they did not always considei . , namely, the propriety and even the ne cessity of sending such important measures in such a suc cession to the House of Lords at such a period of the year, that the Lords would have a fair advantage in considering them. Next to the Irish Land Bill came the English Education Bill. The Government were most anxious that a bill of that magnitude and upon which the interest of the country was concen trated, should undergo no risk whatever in being lost either in that House or the other for want of ime. Next to the Education Bill, the Government were t anxious to carry into law a measure for the purpose of closing a very long contested subject—namely, the University Test Bill.. They certainly should be very anxious to introduce and pass during the present session a measure founded upon the report on election procedure. These were very important measures, but besides these there were others which were of the first necessity, if not of the first magnitude. One of these was the Naturalisation Bill, but he did not think that would take up much time. would be really necessary to deal with the Irish Matti- Jurisdiction Bill in the present session. There were other measures alluded to in the Q`ueen's Speech ; but all he could say was the tit he hoped they might have time to fulfil all their ens agements. Under these circumstances he hoped the House would consent to morning sittings on Tuesdays and Yrida.Vs until the Easter recess, _ There was another Mr. BENTINCK thought that if the House consented to the course recommended by the right hon. gentleman at the head of the Government, the rights of private mem• bers would be altogether taken away, He moved that the House, at its rising, do adjourn. (Loud laughter.) Lord JOHN MANNERS moved that the House, at its rising, do adjourn until a quarter to four to-morrow after Mr. BENTINCK said he had made the motion. (Cheers and laughter.) The SPEAKER understood the hon. member to move that the House do adjourn. (Hear and laughter.) The SPEAKER thought it would scarcely be in order to make such a motion as that of the noble lord without notice. _ _ _ Mr. HARDY said the motion made by the right hon. gentleman opposite had been made without notice. (Hear, hear, and no, no.) A most complicated discussion here arose, two or three members making motions relative to the adjournment and meeting of the House. The Speaker informed those mak ing the motion of the irregularity of the proceedings and both Mr. B. Candlish and Lord J. Manners withdrew, when Sir J. ELPIIINSTONE again moved that the House at its rising adjourn until a quarter to four to-morrow. The motion having been seconded, The SPEAKFR said no doubt the House had the power of dealing with such a motion, but it was altogether with out precedent. (" No, no" was cried on one side of the House, and " Hear, hear " on the other, and a scene of excitement resulted.) Mr. DISRAELI advised his hon. friends, after the decla ration of the Speaker, not to persevere, "and ultimately the subject dropped, but to be renewed on the motion later on for reporting progress on the Land Bill. THE IRISH LAND BILL. The House then went into committee on the Irish Land Bill. Dr. BALL moved an amendment, namely in clause first line 20, insert the following paragraph where a tenant or his predecessor intitle, has within the last ten years before the passing of this Act taken, or where a tenant shall hereafter take, a holding directly from his landlord, without having given to the out-going tenant any valuable consideration for the same, such holding shall thenceforth cease to be subject to the Ulster tenant right custom. Mr. GLADSTONE hoped that the hon. member would not press the amendment. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said it would greatly compli cate the clause, and he urged Dr. Ball to withdraw it. The amendment was withdrawn. The remaining amendments to the clause being with drawn, it was agreed to, and the House adjourned. • STRANGE RIOT IN BERKSHIRE. The village of White Waltham, which is situated shalt five miles from the Taplow St a ti on o f th e G rea t W es t ern Railway, was the scene of a most extraordinary riot a ' day or two ago. A residence in the village, after having: been unoccupied for a considerable time, has recently been.' let, and a rumour was circulated that the house was to be inhabited by some persons who were suffering from small pox. This report caused great excitement and indigna-' tion amongst the poorer inhabitants of the village, and upon the fact that the tenants had actually arrived becoming known, a serious riot ensued. It appears that some persons had been placed in the house, with instruc.' tions to light fires in every room and thoroughly ventilate' the place. Fires were accordingly lit, and between ten and eleven o'clock at night a band of between forty and fifty men, with blackened faces and armed with axes, crowbars, and stones, their coats being turned inside' out, made an attack upon the house, and broke open the" front door. Having gained admission, they proceeded to demolish the place. Doors were shattered to pieces and pulled away from their hinges ; shelves, stairs, f mantel-pieces, and even the fire-places were torn down and broken. Fires were burning in every room and the rioters piled the burning coals on the floor, and placed pieces of the doors and stairs upon them, evidently intending to burn the house. A large water-butt near the back door was upset, in order that no water should be procured to extinguish the fire, and the ruffians did not leave until the house was a mere wreck. Although the house is surrounded by cottages, no attempt was made to • check the riot, nor have any of the perpetrators of the outrage been arrested. The police, it is stated, haye information regarding some of the ringleaders. w ---In din t g he up C . o t ur he t A o i f on C a h r a c n b cery In suranceorders W lmhl a Nv n Ge d -bu ll ePe e nU rn °lll : a dP ß Ae ac LE P rs ier Companies. The petition for winding up the Freehold and General Investment Company has been withdrawn, a resolution disapproving of it having been passed at a meeting of the company . . Vice Chancellor Malins has heard the case of Mr. Warner, "In re the International Life Assurance Society," which was selected for the purpose of repre senting 1,7,Q0 similar cases. The question raised was, what the holder of a policy which was existing at the date of the winding-up order was entitled to Drove for, whether for the amount of the premiums he had paid with interest, or for the value of his policy, or for the amount he raiffht have to pay to another insurance office on reinsuring. The Vice-Chancellor held that, as a general rule, policy-holders should be allowed to prove for the amount of the premiums they had paid with interest, minus the bonuses they had received, but in no case was more to be returned than the amount insured for. STRIKE AT A THEATRE.—Mrs. Ellen Pitt, lessee of the Surrey Theatre, has been summoned before Mr. Partridge. by a number of the scene shifters, for wages, due to them on the cl - :ng of the Theatre. The manager ,m)lained that it I ,ten arranged to carry on the the.: for some days, dig .lung the receipts among the who' e company. The complainants, however, struck work, and he was compelled to return the money to the audience. Mr. 'Partridge observed that it looked very much like A strike, and adjourned the summons for a fortnight. A CHILD STARVED EY ITS FATHER'—Abraham Rock, a mason, has been charged at the Leeds Assizes with the manslaughter of his son,a boy 2 yearsold,at Barnsley. The prisoner was .a. stonemason, and could get plenty of work, but took to drinking, and the child died from actual want. He had cottages that brought him in ss. 6d. a week, and could also get good wages, but when the children had no food for two days, he threatened he would whip theni if they did not lie still in bed. The prisoner was sentenced to live years penal servitude.
