FOREIGN and COLONIAL GOVERNMENT TRUST (SECOND ISSUE), In Certificates of £lOO each, bearing 5 per cent. 'lnterest. To be issued at £BO. TRUSTEES. The Right Hon. Lord Westbury. Lord Eustace Cecil, M.P. Geo. Wodehouse Currie, Esq. G. M. W. Sandford, Esq. Philip Rose, Esq. ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS. 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 £ICO, 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, 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 s-Aber 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 or 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. 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 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. Thi' 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.

A number of petitions were presented in favour of the bill introduced by the Government but praying that amendments be made in the religious clauses of the measure. PAYMENT OF MEMBERS. Mr. TAYLOR presented a petition from Sheffield in favour of payment of members. THE IRISH LAND BILL. Mr. MORRISON gave notice that in committee on this bill he should move certain clauses for the purpose of in troducing Judge Longfield's scheme for regulating matters between landlord and tenant. COLLISIONS ON RAILWAYS. MAJOR ALLEN asked the Under-Secretary . to the Board of Trade, why the return moved for on the 26th of July last, in reference to collisions on railways, where the block system was and was not in operation, and which was promised to be furnished by the President of the Board had not been laid upon the table of the House. Mr. LEFEVRE said the reason was that only about half the company returned answers to the circular, but the attention of the railway companies had been directed to the motion, and he thought he should be able to produce the return in a short time. KILMAINHAM HOSPITAL. Sir JOHN GRAY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether it was true that an order had been issued to the effect that no more pensioners should be admitted into the Kilmainham Hospital, Dublin, and, if so, was that order to be taken as an indication of the intention of the Go• vernment to abolish that national institution. Mr. CARDWELL was understood to say that certain in quiries were going on, but pending that no vacancies would be filled up. EMIGRATION. Mr. MAcrtE asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any or all of the leases referred to in the Secretary of State for the Colonies' letter to the Secretary of the Emigrant and Colonists' Aid Corporation, dated March 2, of land in Western Australia were terminable on short notice for the purpose of being enclosed and oc cupied as agricultural farms. Whether the portion of the eight million acres referred to in that letter which had been sold in Western Australia, and the twelve million acres there said to have " been granted to a popu lation net exceeding sixteen thousand souls" in Natal, was held under any conditions favourable to emigration; and whether the Secretary of State for the Colonies, with a view to the stream of voluntary emigrants flowing towards British settlements, was corresponding with the governors of the aforesaid colonies and with the Govern ments of the self-governing colonies, in order to learn what arrangemens could be made for occupation of waste and by agriculturists from England. Mr.MONSELL said the land in some of Australia was held some under short and some under eight years' leases, in Western Australia, the particular portion referred to, was held under no restriction. In Natal it was held also with out restriction, except in some cases, an account rent was, paid, and as long as that was paid the land could not be touched. With respect to the question of emigration, a circular had been addressed to the Governors of Canada and other colonies with a view of ascertaining what were the prospects for emigrants arriving in those parts. HYDE PARK. Sir FREDERICK HETGATE asked the First Commissioner of Works whether the roadway and equestrian ride lead ing from the west end of Rotten Row to Queen's Gate are intended to• be permanently closed to carriages and riders ; and, whether the gravel which was now being removed from the surface of Hyde Park to the depth of four or five feet, was to be replaced by black mud and clay taken from the Serpentine ; and if he considered such a proceeding conducive to the health and comfort of the public. Mr. AYRTON. said in consequence of the great increase of houses in the neighbourhood, it had been found desi rable to make a new thoroughfare from north to south. and that did cut off the corner of the ride; but in , Aace of that a new road had been made, and the ground had been laid out with shrubs. With respect to the other question, it was intended to put the mud into the place from which the gravel was taken ; but the place would be re-turfed, so that no one would be aware of thc change. (Laughter.) UNION RATING. Mr. KAVANAGH asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, whether he intended to move for the select committee on union rating before Easter; if not, whether he could say how soon after Easter he would make that motion. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said he should not proceed with the subject before the Land Bill had gone through committee PATRONAGE. Mr. HENNIKER-MAJOR asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether the office of stamp distributor at Lowestoft, recently vacant by the death of Mr. Robert Morris, had been or was about to be conferred upon a Mr. Chater, a solicitor, who already had the office of registrar of the County Court in the town. Mr. GLADSTONE said he was quite aware of what had been done, and approved of it. The Inland Revenue department did not think the appointment of a solicitor tic all improper. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. Mr. ROBERT FOWLER asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he had any objection to lay upon the table the despatch of Lord Granville to Sir Philip Wodehouse, which had been presented to the Cape Parliament in regard to the establishment of responsible Government at the Cape of Good Hope, and the with drawal of troops from that colony. Mr. MONSELL said he had no objection to the papers being produced. HYPOTHEC. Mr. CARNEGIE asked the Lord Advocate whether it was his intention to bring in this session any measure on the Law of Hypothec in Scotland. The LORD ADVOCATE said he regretted he should not be able to introduce a bill on the subject during the presenf session. PORTSMOUTH SOUP KITCHEN. - Mr. HENRY HERBERT asked the First Lord of the Ad miralty whether it was true that the water from the tanks belonging to the Dockyardi was refused on econo mic grounds to certain persons who organised a soup kitchen inside the Unicorn Gate, Portsmouth, at their their own expense), for the purpose of relieving distress during the recent inclement weather ; and, if true, whether the orner would be rescinded. CHILDERS Old hg 14315tg0112TalliaQ tile_gOd DMIAO of Portsmouth on the facility with which those stories re lative to the dockyard economy were fabricated. The real facts were these, that during the inclement weather a soup kitchen was established by subscription, and dona tions were not only given by the people of Portsmouth, but from Whitehall. In order to assist the move- , ment a boiler was lent, and they were al lowed to take water as a matter of con venience from the dockyard. He understood that during one day last week a question arose as to a dockyard labourer who was employed in connection with the water, and tor a tew hours tnere was not a supply or water. Ail soon as the matter was brought under the notice of th 4 authorities the difficulty was removed. THE WATER BOUNDARY. Viscount MILTON asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Convention for Arbitra tion relative to the Water Boundary question, which he stated to this House, on the 4th of August, 11369, had been signed be Lord Clarendon on the 14th of January, 1869, submitted to the Committee of Foreign Affairs of the, Senate of the United States, and by them recommended for ratification, had yet yet been ratified by Congress , And if not, whether he could state- the cause of the delay. And whether there was any and what objection to lay upon the table of the House all the correspondence on the water boundary question. Mr. ()TWAY replied that if his hon.. friend would refer to the parliamentary papers on the subject .presented at the end of last session, he would find that a convention was submitted to the notice of the Senate of the United States in April last, and the consideration of the matter was deferred until December. The ratification of the convention depended on the Senate, but he was not able to — slate Naat motives had iii=" duced the American Senate not to ratify it. With regard to the correspondence there was no objection to lay it on the table, except on the score of expense. It consisted of two hundred and seventy pages of very closely printed matter, and he did not know whether he should be justified in incurring such an expense. He had observed the hon. member had published all that was interesting and important in the correspondence, and had done him the favour of presenting him with a copy of the publication, and if he would extend that favour to hon. members generally, they would be in possession of an admirable restonk of the correspondence. (Laughter.) SAVINGS' BANKS, Mr. Cnoss asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, looking to the state of public business, he saw any chance of bringing forward the second reading of the Saving Banks Bill before Easter. _ Mr. STANSPELD, in the absence of Mr. Lowe, said it was not intended to bring forward the second reading of the bill until after the Easter recess. COMMUNICATION WITH AMERICA. Sir J. OGILVY asked the Postmaster-General what mea sures he intended to take to induce the American Govern ment to transmit the homeward mails by more expeditious lines of steam packets than those at present employed. The Marquis of . HAETINGTON replied that, under the terms of the Convention, the two countries each provided for the transmission of the outward mails. By an addi tional convention. which came into operation on the Ist January in this year, a considerable reduction of postage t 941 place, and in consequence of that reduction two of the companies which had hitherto been engaged in the transmission of mails de clined to carry them. He had received several memo rials as to the inconvenience and delay which had been caused by the charge, and he had forwarded them to the Postmaster-General of the United States for considera tion. Since each country regulated this matter for itself, he had no power to do anything further in the matter. CHEAP TRAINS. Mr. C. REED asked the Secretary to the Board of Trade whether he was in a position to state the result of his negotiations with the Metropolitan Railway Companies as to the cheaper and more convenient conveyance of the working classes over their several lines within a given area of the metropoliF. Mr. SHAW-LEFEVRE replied that he was not in a position to do so. IRISH LAND BILL. On the motion for going into committee on the bill, Mr. M`MAHON said, as he had been informed that as he could move his instruction in committee, he should not raise the question at the present moment. Mr. KNIGHT said he was one of those who desired to say a few words on the bill on the occasion of its second reading, but he had been prevented, and he hoped the now the House would grant him a few moments whilst he made a few remarks on what appeared to him to be an omission. It appeared to him that Ireland was in a position very similar to England and Scotland with respect to clearances, and the way in which the question was settled in Scotland, wa s by sending the people from the lands cleared to America, but in England they did not do that, and yet they required no po li ce nor troops, but a settlement law was passed in the reign of Charles the Second, and the result of such an Act was th a t there were no m ore houses pulled down, but that a state of affairs came about which shewed the benefit and wisdom of the passing of the law he had referred to. He thought that airthe present evils in Ireland would pass away if a good law of settlement was passed for that country. Mr. NEWDEGATE believed that the bill would produce discontent in Ireland, and for the reason stated by the hon. member, They were legislating to give the tenantry of Ireland a share of the property of the landlord, but under conditions which would render it impossible for any poor man to buy himself in at the cost of the tenant-right they were creating- The very principle of the bill was erroneous, because it created a tenant-right which was not based upon contract. The motion was withdrawn. 'Rile House then went into committee. - Mr. PIM moved the postponement of Clause 1 of the bill. The arrangements which the committee might make as to the details of the third clause would largely affect the question as to what ought to be the details of the first and srond clauses. He intimated that he should not press his nttion against the feeling of the c omnaittee. Mr. GI;ADSTONE expressed his pleasure at hearing thi4 ,‘ i krbe propesi4on was negatived. I*. Iir.ADLAm then moVed an amendment to Clause 1, to leave out lines ten to twenty inclusive, and inserting the amndment. If the clause was passed in its present form it would be impossible to con ceive anything more vague and uncertain. The landlord would construe it one way and the tenant another, and there would arise those disappointed hopes and expectations which had heretofore given cause for so much dissatisfaction in Ireland. He thought that the clause he had had the honour to move would be a great improvement, and he hoped the House would agree to it, because he thought it most im• portant that there- should not be one system with re gard to tenant right in one part of the coun try, and a different mode in another. He also thought it absolutely necessary that where an agreement had been come to between landlord and tenant the landlord should have the power of having that agreement clearly recorded, in order to prevent his being called upon to pay money twice over, and with respect to the system .if left as it was it would render the farm liable to be rackrented to any extent. Such a system he thought highly objec tionable, and he thought it would he for the good of the tenant, the landlord, and the State that the Ulster sys tem should at once determine. At all events it was im portant that whatever the Government intended to do it should be done in clear and precise language, and with that view he moved the amendment to the first clause. Mr. FORTESCUE submitted that it was not their business to decide for the landlords and tenants of Ireland whether the Ulster custom was good or not. Their duty was to decide whether there was in Ulster a custom existing by the general and mutual understanding of landlord and tenant which it was desirable to leave no longer to the teflder mercies of individual caprice, but to guard, protect, and enforce by law. The hon. gentleman had said something about absentees, but that certainly did not apply to Ulster. (Hear, hear.) And when he talked of the bad effects of the Ulster Custom, he could say his (Mr. C. Fortescue's) Irish expe rience led him to a contrary opinion, because he knew that lord and tenant. The gret point of the systein the hon. gentleman so much condemned was that it gave a security to both parties, which would produce the best effect possible, and if the hon. gentleman who an ticipated such bad results from the proposal were to proceed throughout Ulster, and asked whether they thought the bill of the Government would work to their disadvantage, he felt certaiu he would not find one person to agree with him. On the contrary, he would find that every person was well satisfied with the system as it ex isted ; and further, he thought the beneficial results of the system would become so apparent to the hon. gentle man himself, that hewould become an admirer instead of a detractor of the Ulster system. He (Mr C. Fortescue) did not think it was exactly the duty of Parliament to attempt to extinguish the Ulster customs, and then, as to deceiving the people of Ulster, nothing could be farther from the intention or desire of the Government. He could not at all agree with his hon. friend that the Ulster custom had done no good; on the contrary, the people in that part felt it of the utmost importance that it should be preserved. Mr. GLADSTONE said that it was in the power of any Ulster landlord to abolish the tenant-right system at present existing on his estate, by compensating an out-going tenant out of his own pocket. It was; therefore, unnecessary to resort to legislation in order to give facilities for getting rid of the custom. The amendment was negatived without a division. Mr. SAMUELSON then moved to leave out the words limit ing the right to Ulster, but on a division it was negatived by a majority of 325 to 42. Another amendment, upon the same clause, was moved by Mr. Guess, the object of which was to obviate the difli ty which -might vi.o4B69NAl4.4o,c6miguitep ar.9 A, Ulster a number of tenant-right customs, all resembling that known as the Ulster tenant-right. The lion. member, at the suggestion of Mr. Gladstone, afterwards withdrew his amendment, the Government consenting to adopt his sug gestions so far as to adopt the expression " usages " for " usage." Mr. W. JOHNSTON next proposed an amendment with a view to fixing the definition of the term " Ulster tenant right." The amendment was thrown out on a division by 318 to 39, when progress was reported, the discussion upon clause 1 being left unfinished. The House adjourned at 20 minutes to 1 o'clock. THE DISTURBANCES IN ITALY. A correspondent in Rome, writing on the 25th instant, describes the general uneasiness felt by the Italian autho rities owing to the movements of the revolutionary party. Forty Mazzinian agents had been denounced by the Roman police while on their way from Turin to make a republican manifestation on St. Joseph's day. They were arrested at the station, and sent back by the next train. All the ships in the harbour were decorated in honour of Mazzini and Garibaldi on St. Joseph's Day. The enlistment and drilling , of the Party of Action goes on with great activity at Terni, which is one of the chief centres of action from its position on the Roman frontier. The old Piedmontese faction are, according to their organ, the Gazzetta dcl Popolo, resolved on a separa. :ion of Italy into two portions. The South is to .nclude the Pontifical, Tuscan, and Parmesan States, with Naples for its capital, under the sovereignty ,f Prince Humbert, while Piedmont, ,Lombardy, and Venetia are to form one kingdom, under Victor Emmanuel with Turin as the capital and the Duke D'Aosta as heir. Disturbances are expected in consequence of the meat tax at Bologna and Parma, and troops have been sent there from Florence in great haste. The Italian War-office has ordered 10,000 Remington and 10,000 Werde rifles to be distributed to the Bersaglieri regiments in order that their comparative efficiency may be tested. ANOTHER LETTER FROM EARL RUSSELL. Earl Russell has written a second letter to the vice president of the council, supplementing his first. It runs as follows :—" My dear Mr. Forster,—lt occurs to me that in my letter to you on education I made two omis sions. First, I omitted to mention that in my introduction to speeches recently published I had myself suggested a provision similar to that which is contained in the Government bill. In speaking of an education rate I had said that if supported by rates the ratepayers should decide on the religious instruction ro be given, or if they preferred it, give a secular character to the school. I have, however, added, with a view to give efiect to the Conscience Clause, that when any religious instruction is given it should be either in the first or the last hour of school attendance. But in the full light of the recent discussion in the House of Commons I perceive the evils that would probably arise from giving so large a discretion on religious instruction to the ratepayers. I also omitted to notice the danger—a very real one—that by insisting on their objections the Protestant Dissenters may defeat the Govern ment plan for the present yearn But the pros pect of obtaining a national unsectarian education, founded on the exclusion of all catechisms or formularies, is,.in the present temper of the nation, so fair a one that I think the country may well wait a year for the accomplish ment of so great a blessing.—l remain, my dear Mr. ' 7orster, yours very truly, RUSSELL.—San Remo, March •23,1870. A. CURIOUS VISITOR. It appears from the Lawrence (Kansas) Tribune that we have an interesting stranger among us, and that we owe his presence in this country to exceptional causes. Dr. John Doy, whose conflicts with the pro-slavery party, and, whose exploits in connection with the underground rail- , road while the fugitive slave law was in force, made 4, him very notorious, was arrested . Battl e C ree k 'Michi gan,. on the charge of procuring an abortion, and thereul causing the death of a woman who ' sought his services. On this charge he was found guilty, and sentenced to a long term of confinement in the State- Prison. As he was found dead in his bed one morning, under circumstances which strongly pointed to poison as the cause of his death, it was generally supposed that he resorted to suicide to ward off the disgrace which would result from imprisonment. At all events, he was buried, and, as usual, almost forgotten. It has ' lately transpired that he is still living, and is at present in England. He has sent for his daughter ; and the rest of his family are making arrangements to follow him immediately. The circumstances of his resurrection are stated as follow :—Having come to an understanding - with some friends, he took a large dose of morphia, and, when found in the morning, the vital forces were apparently extinct. As he was considered dead, of ' course no objections were raised to his body being restored to his family. This being done, in order to carry out the deception, a coffin was procured, and regular funeral; services held, the body being committed to what all supposed to be its final resting-place. When every thing was over, his grave was opened, the body removedo and, by.the application of powerful remedies, soon restore& to its normal condition* Prudence, of course, required that he should leave a country where he was no loiter safe, and, accordingly, he went to England—his former home. We have sent so many questionable characters to America that we must not be too sensitive as to a few resuscitated criminals claiming our hospitality; but we hope if they die here they will not trouble themselves to come to life again.—Pall Mall Gazette. EXECUTION OF THE AYLESBURY MURDERER. The execution of William Mobbs, for the murder of a boy called Newbury, at Linford, took place yesterday morning within the walls of the Aylesbury prison. The culprit was penitent at the last, and died almost without a struggle. He made a full con fession of the murder, stating that he had seen a picture of Baker murdering the little girl at a shop window at Alton, and had since continually dreamed of that tragedy. He also said that while he was sitting by the side of the little boy Newbury a sudden thought came into his head that he should like to kill him, and he could not resist the impulse. He asked the poor little fellow, who was not quite ten years of age, what he thought would be done to him if he should kill him. Newbury said that he would be sure to be hanged, and upon that he caught hold of him, pulled his knife out of hs pocket, and stabbed him in the throat, afterwards making more gashes in it. Mobbs, who was not quite 20 years of age, was evidently of a very low type of humanity. He had a short, narrow forehead and small head, and great thickness round the base of the skull. His hair was very thick, straight, and stiff, and pro jected over the forehead, like the thatch of a house, He was given to reading much more than is the custom among agricultural labourers, and accounts of murders seem to have been his favourite kind of reading. When apprehended after committing the murder, a r Life of Abel," translated from the German , was found in his pocket, and this his friends say he was particularly p artial to reading in most of his spare time. The Red River New ation of Feb. 25, says the late threatening movement of the English settlers for the release of the Canadian prisoners at Fort Garry has subsided. President Riel, to prevent bloodshed, released all the prisoners ; whereupon the English force, number ing six hundred men, well organized an d armed, disbanded and returned to their homes.
