Bazaar stalls for the sale of fancy articles and refreshment bars will be placed in convenient recesses. THE GRAND CIRCLE will have an exclusive entrance from Leicester Place, and will accommodate 200 persons in the balcony, 27 private boxes luxuriously furnished, and two royal boxes, having each a boudoir in the rear. The buildings will be of fireproof construction through out, and special arrangements for warming and ventilating.

Attached to this part of the building will be spacious BILLIARD-ROOMS, with FRENCH and ENGLISH tables. THE MERCANTILE SUBSCRIPTION CLUB, SO much required in London, and for the successful carrying out of which the directors have already secured the co-operation of many of the leading and most influential firms of the west end, is an important feature of the undertaking, and will be in that portion of the building overlooking Leices ter-square. THE RESOURCES OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT being so manifold, its undeniable position, and a FREEHOLD in the centre of Lon on, the directors confidently anticipate paying the shareholders a very large dividend ; a neigh bouring establishment, without the many advantages pos sessed by this company, is yielding its shareholders 25 per cent., and has averaged a dividend of 20 per cent. for the last five years. A contract has been entered into with Mr. JOHN KIRK, of Woolwich, for the, erection and completion of the whole of the buildings. Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained at the offices of the company, or the bankers and solicitors. women, and sixty-five children have been existing for a fortnight or more with only the clothes they had on when they came on board, and also whether he considered the conduct of the naval authority could be justified. Mr. CARDWELL said he, had made inquiry at the Quartermaster-General's office and the Admiralty, with respect to this motion, and although there was some difference in the different reports, both admit that a larger amount of luggage was sent than was allowed by the regulations, and it was also sent without notice. That circumstance would partly account for the length of time in its transmission, and then the correspondence as to who was to pay the carriage of the excess of luggage would account for the rest. An inquiry was being made, and, pending that, he did not think it would be right to impute blame to the officers of the Orontes. Clause 10 ivas agreed to unanfinously. In Clause 11 the words " quantity of " were proposed to be inserted by the Solicitor-General, and the proposition was agreed to as amended. Clause 12 was unanimously agreed to.

The success of the Foreign and Colonial Government 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 .EICO, to bear 5 per cent. interest, to be issued at £BO. The object, which is now well understood, is to give to the Lvestor of moderate means the same advantages as the large capitalist, in diminishing t he 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 is redemption as a Sinking Fund to pay off the original capital ; and, in addition, to give to each Sub foriber a pro rata participation in the ultimate reversion in these different Stocks, which will remain wjen 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 i e 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. Glyc, 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 duo on the 15th July next. In addition to the Interest Coupons, a Coupon repre senting the share accruing to the Certificate-ho 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 summod 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 reversion, 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.

The report upon this bill was brought up and received. JUDGES' JURISDICTION BILL. The Commons' amendment to this bill was brought in and agreed to. CONSOLIDATED FUND BILL. The Consolidated Fund (29,564,191 7s. 4d.) Bill was read a third time and passed. RIBITUAL CRIMINALS ACT. The 'Earl of CARNARVON asked whether it was the in tention of the Government to bring in any bill to amend this act of last session. Clause 16 of the Act provided that the Industrial Schools Act of 1861 should apply to all children under the act, but the Industrial Schools Act of that year had been repealed by the Act of 1866, and it was the latter act that ought to have been mentioned. There were other anomalies that required amendment. The Earl of KIMBERLEY said it was intended to bring in a bill to amend the Habitual Criminals Act. The Earl of AIRLIE said the act was practically inoperative in Scotland, and he hoped that fact would not be overlooked in the bill about to be brought in. Lord REDESDALE said that the measure was another example of hasty legislation. The subject then dropped, and their lordships adjourned at a Quarter past six. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THURSDAY. The Speaker took the chair at four o'clock: SUNDAY TRADING BILL: Mr. LOCKE presented a petition from Bermondsey in favour of this bill. PROPERTY OF MARRIED WOMEN. Mr. RUSSELL GURNEY presented a petition ngainst the Number 2 bill on this subject. PAYMENT OF MEMBERS. Mr. TAYLOR presented a petition from Northampton in favour of payment of members of Parliament. EDUCATION. A great many petitions were presented in favour of the bills now before the House, but praying for certain al terations with regard to religious teaching. NAVAL ARCHITECTS. Mr. LUSK moved for a copy of any communication or report from the Institution of Naval Architects to the Board of Trade in April, 1867, respecting the construe- tion, equipment, and free-board of ships. The return was ordered. COMMON OR OTHER LAND. Mr. STEVENSON moved for a return of all boroughs, cities, and other places in the United Kingdom possessing common or other lands in respect of which the freemen of other privileged inhabitants claim any exclusive right or property or use ; and distinguishing those places in which such privileged inhabitants claim any parliamentary or municipal franchise, or any immunity from tolls or dues paid by other inhabitants. The return was ordered. NAVAL CADETS. Mr. RYLANDS moved for returns of the number of Naval and Navigating Cadets in each of the years from 1859 to 1869, both inclusive; and of the number of sub lieutenants at the end of every such year. The return was ordered. STEERING SHIPS. Mr. GRAVES moved for extracts of official reports made to the Admiralty on the application of steam and hydrau lic steering gear for ships of Her Majesty's navy during the last f our years. The papers were ordered to be produced. FOREIGN CATTLE. Mr. C. READ moved for a return of the regulations ap proved by the Lords of the Privy Council, relating to the landing of foreign animals in ports in Great Britain, and to their inspection by the officers of the Commissioners of her Majesty's Customs. The return was ordered. WORKMEN'S EXHIBITION. Mr. HINDE PALMER asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was the intention of the Government to introduce a bill (similar to the Pro tections of Inventions Act, 1851) to give protection to persons exhibiting new inventions at the forthcoming Workmen's International Exhibition. Mr. BRUCE said such a bill would be introduced by the Vice-President of the Board of Trade. THE EDUCATION BILL. Dr. LYON PLAYFAIR asked the Vice-President of the Council whether it was arranged that on the motion for go i n g into committee on the Elementary Education Bill an opportunity would be given for the discussion of the. educational principles of the Bill. Mr. FrIISTER said the motion for going into committee would be taken at such a reasonable hour as to admit of a full discussion taking place if required. THE 51sT REGIMENT. Colonel STUART KNOX asked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention had been called to a letter in the Times of the 21st instant, headed " Military Mis management," in which it was stated that `• the 51st Regiment embarked on the 2d instant at Portland for Cork in her Majesty's ship Orontes. That although they were entitled by the regulations to convey baggage to the measurement of some 4,000 cubic feet, the captain of the Orontes, after some 2,076 cubic feet of said baggage was put on board, refused to take more, alleging that his baggage room was full. That the baggage thus left behind belonged principally to the married men. and that no less than forty unfortunate DANGEROUS.

Mr. BRUCE said a license had been granted. With respect to correspondence, it was very voluminous, and if the hon. gentleman thought any public good would be done by its publication, after he sent he should have no objection to its being printed. TURNPIKES. Lord GEORGE CAVENDISH asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he intended to bring in a bill during the session relating to turnpike roads in England and Wales; and, if not, what he proposed to do in reference to the trusts nameU in the fourth and fifth schedules of the Turnpike Act Continuance Bill of 1869. Mr. BRUCE said he did not propose to introduce such a bill. With respect to the second part of the question, with respect to the expiration of certain trusts, they intended to adopt the recommendations of the committee which sat last year on the subject. THE CENTRAL HALL Mr. Ar.THUR GUEST asked if there was any objection on the part of the Government to state the course they intend to adopt with regard to the completion of the Central Hall. Mr. GLADSTONE said there would be no objection to state the course to be adopted as soon as ever it was ful:y decided what was to be done. It would be but to wait until the estimates were under consideration, when the particulars would be fully stated. THE NAVAL RETIREMENT. Mr. FLINBURY-TRACEY asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether in framing his scheme of retirement he had taken into consideration the case of the reserved commanders M N, who appear to have been reserved under the same conditions and by the same Order in Council as the reserved captains F G ; and if he would state what difference existed between the two classes. Mr. CHILDERS said that consideration had been given to the claims of all officers before the scheme of retire ment was decided on. ALLEGED RENEWAL OF HOSTILITIES IN NEW ZEALAND. Mr. MAGNIAC inquired whether the statement were trite that hostilities had been renewed in New Zealand. Mr. MONSELL replied that the Government had received no suchlnformation, and that the latest dispatcheb were favourable. THE UNITED KINGDOM AND THE COLONIES. Mr. MACFIE inquired whether when the subject of the relations between the United Kingdom and the Colonies came on for discussion there would be a full discussion. Mr. GLADSTONE said it would entirely depend upon the discretion of the hon. member who had made the motion. He should be sorry if anything on the part of the Govern ment happened to induce them to place any impediment in the way of a free discussion. THE ULSTER PROTESTANTS. Sir THOMAS BATESON said he wished to make an expla nation. In his speech on the Peace Preservation Bill h. had stated that Mr. Gladstone had described the conduct of the Orangemen of Ulster as odious and dreadful. The First Minister of the Crown then asked him on what occasion he had used the words, and he now quoted the words from a report in the Times of a speech delivered during his Lancashire tour. Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply, said that the words were used in reference to a geueral practice, and he deprecated the commemoration of civil strife 200 years old. PEACE PRESERVATION (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Colonel S. KNOX said he should support the measure, as one rendered necessary by the " felonious conduct" of the Government with regard to the Irish Church. The House then went into committee on the bill. Clauses 1 and 2 were agreed to without observation. Clauses 3 and 4 were agreed to after a verbal amend- ment had been made to the latter by the Solicitor-General for Ireland. On clause 5 being proposed, Colonel FRENCH thought the power given by the clause was not clear, as to upon whom the expense was to fall upon sending additional police to disturbed districts. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said the powers given by the clause were additional to those which already existed and did not in the slightest degree, do away with any power, already possessed by the Lord Lieutenant. The clause was agreed to. Clause 6 was agreed to after Mr. C. FORTESCUE had made an amendment with respect to the persons alluded to, and those not allowed to carry arms in a procalimed district. On clause 7, which inflicted a punishment of two years' imprisonment for any person carrying arms other than those set out in the bill, Mr. G. MooRE moved as an amendment that the punishment should be one year, with hard labour, instead of two years, as set out in the bill. The two years, if inflicted, would never be carried out. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he hoped the amendment would not be pressed, because the judge had the discretion of making the punishment but two months if he felt so disposed. Mr. MoORE thought that it would be best to fix a term of punishment which if inflicted by the judge would surely be carried out. It was ridiculous to say that a punish ment of two years would ever be carried out if inflicted merely for the possession of arms. After a few observations from Mr. Downing, Mr. C. FORTESCUE thought it would be best to allow the clause to stand as it was at present drawn. It would b 3 advantageous to give the judge the power asked for, because same very strong cases might arise. It was by no means a novel proposal, as it had existed for many year in the Crime and Outrage Act. The committee divided, when there appeared— I ')r the amendment .zigainst it . 31 . 333 Majority against it 302 The clayse was then agreed to. Clauses 8 and 9 were agreed to. Mr. DOWNING moved an amendment on clause 9 as fol lows :—" Line 6, after " fit," insert, "between the hours of sunrise and sunset." Mr. FORTESCUE said the object of the clause to in crease the power of the police and the local authorities was of the greatest value. At present the power of the police with regard to matters at night was insufficient. The powers,it was proposedto give them would no doubt be ex ercised. under a sense of the gravest responsibility. 7 11 1 .9ppinp4draent,,,was not agreed to. In Clause 13, Mr. Callam proposed the following amend ment :—Page 4, line 38, leave out " proclaimed," and after district insert " specially proclaimed." Mr. DOWSE defended the clause, as introducing a wise and judicious change in the law. The coroner had at pm sent such power as it was proposed under the clause to give to magistrates. Sir JOHN GRAY complained that under the clause a justice might summon any person under any circum stances. A clergyman who had received the confession of a dying man might be summoned. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for IRELAND said he could not advise the house to consent to the proposed amendment. The amendment was negatived without a division. Mr. TORRENS said it appeared to him that they were about to do in Ireland that which no person would allow for a moment in England. They were going to give to every or any justice of the peace the power to call any person before them and question them without any limi tation. The clause seemed to him to be a revival of the office of the Holy Inquisition. The proposal was, in fact, a drag-net, to get up evidence at any:cost. He thought that some precaution ought to be taken to prevent any abuse of the power given. Lord JOHN MANNERS thought that if it was to become necessary, to have a bill like the present for England, no one, he believed, would object so such a clause as the nrilizent — Upon the ctauSb empowenirthe — ATlZlTUrNeltenetvfor Ireland to change the venue in trials for outrage in specially proclaimed districts, the Solicitor-General for Ireland even tually allowed the clause to be altered by taking the power of changing the venue out of the hands of the Attorney- General and t!ansferring it to the full Court of Queen's Bench, which should be allowed to sit in the vacations. Mr. SYNAN objected to Clause 27, relating to the suppres sion and forfeiture of newspapers containing treasonable or seditious matter, on the ground that it created a law for Ire land different from that of England. The result of restrict ing the liberty of the press would be to make the union be tween England and Ireland a mere parchment union. He moved therefore, as an amendment, that the words " trea sonable or seditious" be omitted, iu order that it might be left to juries to decide what those words meant. Tho O'DonoGituz supported the Government, and said that there were at present in Ireland a knot of sctibhlers who had arrogated to themselves, with most unwarrantable effrontery, the attributes of nationality, whose business it was to revive the memory of O'Connell, and to trade upon the generous and confiding nature of the Irish people. Mr. G. HARDY gave his hearty assent to the clause. Upon a division the amendment was negatived by 330 to 15. Mr. BOUTEME then moved to leave out the word "sedi tious" in clause 27, on the gr-und that a great deal of vexa tious and oppressive interference might result from retaining the word. Referring to a decision given by Lord bolt in Queen Anne's reign, respecting some adverse comments passed on the English navy by a newspaper editor, the hon. gentleman maintained that though what was called seditious in that day might be considered mere harmless criticism now, yet that in the eye of the law it was still sedition ; and that, viewed in this light, there was not a newspaper in Ireland which might not be legally considered to contain seditious matter. Mr. A. HERBERT supported the clause. Sir R. PALMER criticised at some length the argument of Mr. Bouverie, and affirmed that Lord Holt's definition of sedition could not bo considered as law at the present day. Free comment on the acts of the Government was not merely a liberty enjoyed by the press through the connivance of juries, but was their inalienable and lawful right. Itir. W. TORRENS opposed the clause, and predicted that if it became law it would be despised, evaded, and set at nought. Mr. NEWDEGATE thought the measure would prevent sedi tion if it were carried out ; but he apprehended more danger from secret consp . racy than from open expressions of dis content. Mr. G. MooRE then mived that the Chairman report pro gress, though a largo majority welt) clamorously pressing fora division upon the clause. His motion was eventually defeated by 265 to 19, but with the consent of the Treasury B .nelt progress was subsequently reported. The remaining business having been disposed of, the House adjourned. A SINGULAR POISONING CASE. An extraordinary affair is related as having occurred at Dronfield, Derbyshire. It is said that on Monday night a man, selling cloth at Dronfield, went into the house of a Mrs. Etches and offered a " remnant " for fourteen shillings. Mrs. Etches declined to buy, but while he re• mainea in the house had occasion to go into the cellar. While she was so absent it is supposed the fellow put something into the teapot. No other person was in or near the house. After he had gone the family sat down to tea, and noticed that the liquid was dark and disagree able in colour, emitting a sulphurous smell. The contents were sent at once to Dr. Rooth, who declared his opinion to be that it contained some poisonous matter. The police were put on the alert, and have since captured the man. He says he comes from Derby. POISONING FOXHOUNDS. Some alarm exists in the Queen's county, hitherto a peaceable district, in consequence of the poison ing of the foxhounds some days ago. The occur rence is taken as indicating that the Ribbon spirit has now seized on one of the quietest districts in Lein sten When the Hunt were near Mountrath, as one gentlemen passed by, several of the people were heard to shout, "A fine day for the Hunt, but a bad one for the grand jury." Shortly afterwards, on the way to the covert (poison having been placed on the road) three of the hounds died almost instantaneously. The pack was then brought to a gentleman's place, close by, where an emetic was administered. The cause of the outrage ap pears to be the part that Mr. Cosby, master of the hounds, took with regard to the grand jury reso lution on the state of Ireland. A short time since any one who would attempt to trap a fox in the county would have been consid ere d a mean criminal by all the fuming population. This outrage is, therefore, the more unhappily significant of a demoralisation of the pea santry. The atrocity is the worse, as Mr. Cosby has been very popular, and has lately spent about £30,000 in int proventa on his property. A LIVELY FANATIC. A letter from Tunis describes some exciting proceedings which took place there a few days ago. A Moor of 22, a water-carrier, while under the influence of religious ex citement, began to beat with a stick all the Christians and Jews who came in his way. Suddenly he dropped the stick and drew a sword, running with it through the most frequented parts of the town in the European quarter, shouting " In the name of God, war to the infidels 1" Fortunately, it being about three o'clock, most of the Europeans were in their houses at dinner s but, nevertheless, the fanatic succeeded in wounding a great number of men, women, and children. As the British Consulate lay in the path he took, it was soon filled with the wounded. Having passed through the principal streets without receiving more than a slight wound in the leg, he took refuge in the chief mosque, where the local authorities, on religious grounds, reframed from arresting him. One of the dragomans em ployed in the British Consulate, however, who had pursued the assassin, entered the sanctuary, arrested him, and gave him over to the local police. The principal square in the European quarter soon became crowded with thousands of Christians, Moors, and Jews. The Christians demanded the instant execution of the water-carrier, and great fears were entertained of a collision occurring between them and the Mahommedans. Fortunately, tranquillity was restored by the arrival of an extra force of police and troops sent by the Bey at the re quest of the foreign Consuls. The Bey declined to appear personally in the town to quiet the agitation, but promised that every satisfaction should be given for the out rage. The man was shot at six o'clock the same evening. In other letters the number of persons wounded is vari ously given from thirty-five to seventy. Mahomedans thought friendly to the Christians were also attacked, and one Moor has sin ce di e d f rom a th ru st he received from the sword in the back. The dragoman of the United States Consul-General was cut down at the door of the consulate together with the Mahomedan servant of the Italian Consul, who happened to be there. The Italians threatened to set fire to the European Consulates if the assassin was not immediately executed on the gate of the European quarter, but such a step was considered to offer an unnecessary indignity to the Maho medan religion, and the execution was inflicted in the Moorish quarter. The body was exposed in the public square and identified by the British and Italian Vice- Consuls and a certain number of Europeans. The sum mary punishment inflicted on the murderer has produced a very good effect, and no fears arc now entertained of any outbreak.
