HOUSE OF LORDS.—FRIDAY. The Lord Chancellor took his seat on the Woolsack at five o'clock. Mr. GLADSTONE said the answer he could give to that question was that which was contained in a note which he had received from Lord Romilly on the subject. In that note, his lordship said he stated to the house his dis belief that such sums were paid. The circumstances t) which the observations referred,look place 16 years ago, a-id he believed that a misapprehension had ariien in con sequence of the report which contained the statement not also containing his lordship's observation, that he did not b !ieve the allegations made. Under such circumstances, he did not think it would be any departure from duty to refrain from taking any further proceedings iu the matter.

A petition was presented by Mr. Clay from the inhabi ants of the borough of Beverley with reference to the report of the commissioners, and praying for an inquiry. It was read by the Clerk at the table. DEGREES FOR STUDENTS. Mr. CHARLES REED asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether his attention had been called to a certain provision in reference to the terms of residence for degrees for students of the privileged class at the University of Oxford, and whether the Government would introduce a measure which would place students, without respect to rank or birth, in an equal position with regard to terms of residence required, before pro ceeding to the degree of Bachelor or Master in Arts, Medicine, or Civil Law. Mr. GLADSTONE answered that the same regulation was in force in the Tiniversity of Cambridge. He was not prepared to give any pledge on the part of the Govern ment to take the matter up. SPURIOUS TEA. Mn. STAPLETON asked the Secretary to the Board of Trade, whether his attention had been called to the impor tation from China of large quantities of adulterated or spurious tea, stated by Dr. Letheby, by whom it had been analysed, to consist of re-dried leaves of exhausted tea in a state of putrefaction. Whether he was aware that it was used for the adulteration of genuine tea, and that it was insuch demand that its price had risen from 2d. to sid. and whether the Board of Trade were taking any mea sures to protect the public from the increase of adultera tion indicated by this rise in the price of re-dried tea leaves. Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE was understood to say that the fac was as stated. INDIAN RAILWAYS. Mr. RODEN asked the Under-Secretary of State for India what number of miles of railway the Government proposes to construct in India, and the estimated rate of construction per year. Mr. GRANT Dun' said a sum of three and three quarters of a million was proposed to be voted for those railways. FEVER CARRIAGES. Mr. JOHN TALBOT asked the President of the Poor Law Board whether it was true that the carriage used for fever patients in the Westminster Union was usually drawn by paupers, and whether the Poor Lawßoard had any means of putting a stop to such a practice. Mr. GOSCHEN replied that the carriage was drawn by paupers. There were always more volunteers for the ser vice than were required, shewing that they liked the six pence and the outing which they got for the service. And he understood that exhaustion bad never occurred, but sometimes fatigue had. MILITIA OFFICERS. Colonel CORBETT asked the Secretary of State for War whether he considered that by the Act 42 George 111., c. 90, s. 170, officers of militia were exempted from serving as parish officers ; and if they were not, whether he would take steps to include them in the exemption. Mr. CARDWELL answered that he took it that the feel ing of Parliament was against, rather than for, increasing exemption. SCOTCH VACANCY. Mr. CRAUFURD asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether it was the intention of Her Majesty's Govern ment to fill up the vacancy in the Court of Session occa sioned by the decease of Lord Barcaple. Mr. GLADSTONE said the vacancy was proposed to be filled up, but the person appointed would have to abide by any rules and regulations which Parliament might see fit subsequently to enact. THE ARMY REGULATIONS, Major WALKER asked the Secretary of State for War whether he had considered, and was prepared to remedy ; the heavy increase of mess and band subscriptions which would be entailed on regimental officers by the proposed reduction of their numbers, and by the discontinuance of promotions from the rank of Ensign or Cornet to that of Lieutenant. Mr. CARDWELL said he was not prepared to propose any measure for the increase of the pay of the officers to meet such expenses. PROMOTION IN THE ARMY. Mr. SINCLAIR ArrouN asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in carrying out the proposal to give twenty five unattached Lieutenant Colonelcies, fifty Majorities, and one hundred Captaincies, as mentioned in his speech on the estimates, to meet the claims of officers, and stimulate the rapidity of the absorption on the reduction of the army, it might be understood that it was intended to give such promotion according to length of service from the date of first entering into the service, in con formity with the precedent established in 1866, when Parliament santioned a similar distribution of a certain number of unattached commissions. Mr. CARDWELL replied in the affirmative. The course to be taken would be similar to that taken in 1866. His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief considers the professional claims, and acts accordingly. THE TELEGRAPHS. Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE asked the Postmaster- General whether it was true that the system of sending Parliamentary reports by telegraph direct from the Houses of Parliament to the offices of country newspapers had been put an cried to since the telegraphs had been taken into the hands of the Government ; and whether any measures could be taken for remedying the inconvenience which has been occa sioned by the change. The Marquis of HARTINGTON said it was certainly a matter of the greatest importance to the pro prietors of newspapers that they should receive the earliest intelligence. 'Under the old sys tem of telegraphs, the different parties competed and combined for the supply of interchange, and such matter was transmitted by the intelligence department by a spectal wire to Birmingham and Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester, and Edinburgh, Newcastle and Glasgow. If so more was required of the present system that could easily be done, and more We could send intelligence by one wire to Brighton, Nor folk, and Manchester, Newcastle, Sheffield, Nottingham, and Edinburgh, Glasgow, Bristol, Exeter, Plymouth, and Cardiff. But the fact was that more was required. The department was now required to send all sorts of intelligence in addition to Parliamentary news, such as general news, sporting news, and shipping and commercial news, and to send them at all times other than that at which Parliamentary news was transmitted —viz., 6 p.m. and 3 a.m. The intelligence department, it was true, gave preference to the Parliamen tary news, but the associations declined to do that ; in fact, the subscribers for the news were as various as the news transmitted. The department now had no power to give precedence to Parliamentary news. There must, of course, be a limit to the capacity of every de partment, and it was a fact that the amount of news transmitted now was far greater than it was under the old system. The arrangement that was required was co-operation in the press associations, and therefore it appeared impossible that every person could receive exactly the news that he required in the absence of that co-operation. It was the greatest desire of the depart ment to do their utmost, but the altered circumstances of the case would for the present prevent the intelligence being despatched in any other mode than it was at present, and he was afraid that in the absence of that co-operation to the want of which he had referred, the inconvenience would have to continue some time longer. SECRET SERVICE MONEY. Mr. WINTERBOTHAM asked the First Lord of the Trea , Bury whether his attention had been directed to a state ment by an eminent judge in another place, that in taking the accounts of a Railway Company in the Court of Chan cery, shortly after he had a seat on the bench, he found the item of £lO,OOO for secret service money paid to members L'Arliartioilt. tuutthat wao_aontrod.tho_ ovenditurc Sir D. WEDDEUBURN asked the Ifni_ler-Secretary o State for India whether it is intended to entrust the con struction of the projected State railways in India to the Public Works Department ; and, if so, whether the Government considers the operation of that department in the conduct of the works carried out by its means to have been satisfactory as regards cost and rapidity of con struction. Mr. GRANT DUFF gave an affirmative answer to the first question ; information was wanted on the second ; and the third was still under consideration. THE ORDER OF BUSINESS. In reply to Lord Robert Montagu, Mr. GLADSTONE said that, presuming that the debate on the Irish Land Bill would certainly finish to-night, he proposed on Monday to state the intentions of the Govern ment with respegttoireland;•and the Secretary of 'State for War would make a statement with reference to over regulation prices for the purchase of commissions. THE LICENSING BILL. In reply to an HoN. MEMBER, Mr. BRUCE said he saw no chance of bringing forward this bill until the Irish Land Bill and the Education Bill had been somewhat - further advanced. THE MINES REGULATION BILL. In reply to Mr. Pease, Mr. BRUCE said it was not possible for him to name a day before which the bill would not be taken. THE EDUCATION BILL. In reply to Sir Stafford Northcote, Mr. GLADSTONE objected to delay the second reading of this bill. THE IRISH LAND BILL. Mr. W. H. GREGORY then resumed the debate on this Bill. He was received with cheers. He declared himself favourable to the bill, on the ground that if hon. mem bers went back to Ireland at the end of the session without having passed any measure of redress, they would find a state of things still more intole rable than at present. If in accepting the main principle of the bill, which, in his opinion, was giving security to the tenant, he hoped he should not lay himself open to the imputation of wanting to cavil and find fault if in committee he should objecct to some of the clauses of the bill, for the right hon gentle man at the head of the Government had invited criticism from both sides of the House. He thought that in a scheme of the nature of the present bill there ought to be every precaution taken to ondeavour to put down crime in every manner possible, • and that with respect to eviction it would be a wise provision if it was made for any serious crime not political. He was sure that would be one of the best means of eradicating a great part of the crime which was so prevalent in Ireland. He knew a case of where sheepstealing had been very prevalent, and steps were taken to discover the perpetrator of the crime. He was discovered and evicted, and the result was that flocks became safe and no more sheap steal ing was heard of in that part of the country. But having got rid of the sheepstealer, he did not see that the person who had bad his flocks pillaged should be called upon to ray the man who had stolen his sheep for disturbance of occupation. Another important proposition that ought to receive gi eat consideration and that was with regard to grazing farms. (Hear, hear.) He thought it would be a very Rise proviso if it were set forth that mere grazing farms should not come under the operation of the bill. You ought not to be called upon to give compensation to a man who used his land me; sly for grazing purposes because he could drive his oxen from the land, and a I the the money he received would be just so much money readily placed iu his pocket. He could not see that a case such as that .vas une that entitled the grazier to any compensation. The bill brought forward by the right hon. gentleman, however, was one that he accepted generally, but he could not too strongly urge upon him the necessity c•f putting some limit to the question of rents, otherwise he was certain the whole of the rights of the tenant would be swallowed up. He looked with the greatest confidence on the Ulster principle, as where it was recognised and carried out, there perpetual improvement was going on, there great contentment prevailed ; the landlord was sure of his rent, and the tenantry, as a rule, were industrious, frugal, and well-to-do people. If that system produced such beneficial results, he for one could not see why it should not be ex- tended to the whole of Ireland. (Hear, hear.) The desire of the Government in bringing forward the present bill appeared to be to give continuity, if not perpetuity, of tenure ; but if they succeeded in their efforts in perfecting a bill which should be acceptable to the great majority of the people of Ireland, they would do that which would render coercion bills, and repressive mea sures unnecessary. (Hear, hear.) There was, however, another point that was very unfortunate, and that was with respect to the purchase of land, and he thought it would l e a very wise provision if the time and mode of enabling the tenant to purchase his farm was set at 35 years at 5 per cent. instead of 22 years at 10s. per cent. Lord ELcno said the question should be looked at from a landlords as well as a tenant's point of view. There were principles in the bill affecting English and Scotch, as well as Irish landlords. It was a novel principle in this House to forbid contracts to be entered into, and yet to regulate the length of leases and the amount of rent. The inferior state of Scotland in regard to agriculture had grown up under what was known as nineteen years' leases. He should like to know what Scotch members would do in committee with regard to the extraordinary propositions of the bill in this respect. Compensation for disturbances was another objectionable feature in the principle of the bill, and was as novel as the other princi ple to which he had pointed. In the bill under discussion there were certain proposals with respect to compensation, but he should like to know where these compensations Were to stop. (Hear.) There had been a great deal of distur bance lately occasioned by the Secretary of State for War with respect to officers—(hear, hear)—he did not appear to give them seven years' oompensation. In order that he might hand over to the Chancellor of the Exchequer his quota of the £5,000,000 surplus which that right hon, gentleman expected to have as a surplus, what did he do ? He, by a stroke of the pen, struck off 12,000 men, and that too at a time when there was great destitution prevalent. It was proposed to give compen sation for disturbance in one case ; why not in the other? He could not understand why it should be given to one and not to the other, unless it was that the soldier was tha shootee and the tenant the shooter. He had sent the bill, which he believed to be the product of sentiment and saltpetre. to a person well versed in the matters it treated of in Scotland, and the opinion that ho had received upon it was, that as it legislated for the future, it was a violation of property, of the rights of the public, and the principles of free trade, and that if passed it would sow disturbance broadcast over the land. The machinery for its working would prove inadequate, and in a few years the courts would be blocked up with business, and all would end in confusion. One of the great things to do was to teach the Irishman the value of a legal obligation; and when the work was done no good would really be effected. He approved of the bill as a whole, but there were certain portions of it which he should use his utmost to get altered and amendedg lie quoted former speeches of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, saying he would be no party to doing anything in Ireland which he would not do in England. He then referred to an agitation getting up in this country at the present time, having for its object a speedy acquirement of land by those who had it not now, and he appealed to the right hon. gentleman at tl head of the Government to use his undoubted influence with the populace in stamping out such pestilent stuff. and producing a popular conviction that there were cer tain rules with regard to property that must be main tained. Sir C. O'LOGIILEN was of opinion that, compared with all the other land bills which had been submitted to Parlia ment, the present was the most s!atesmanlike and effectual. Mr. CHAPLIN expressed himself strongly against the system of small holdings, as tending to increase the existing poverty and distress in Ireland ; and he attributed all the disorganised state of affairs which now prevailed in that country to the vacillating, ill-fated, and deplorable policy of her Majesty's Government. thought, wont I require great couside , a:ion iu chnunitte +. lie obj, cted to the adf.ptiun of that w Melt was called tho Ulster tenant cuAum, as it was asking Parli.oneut to legalise the private arrangements of every state in the nurth of I: eland, and yet nobody cote(' tell Parliament wtat that customcusto►u was. lie did nut s.‘e how Parliament weld legalist that which did not exist.

With respect to the advances of public money, he was not averse to its being made on good security and for a bene- licial object, but he objected strongly to advance it to _ tenants in order to purchase freeholds. Mr. GLADSTONE expressed his great satisfaction at tit) lone of the long debate, and said he could not refrain front feeling gratification at the fact that with, he might say, the - unanimous consent of the House, he could see the way of '.. the bill clear into committee. He was quite willing to give to every suggestion that had been made with regard to certain concessions and modifications the best consideration ; but with respect to that part of the bill which contained what was called the Ulster clauses, he must say that he had .! • heard nothirg in the course of the long debate which would. • , induce him not to retain those clauses. (Hoar, hear.) The right hon. gentleman defended the adoption of the Ulster custom, and proceeded to deal with the other objections that had been made to the bill, and said that the proposal of the ' bill was not to give fixity, but stability of tenure, and he felt that if they could effect that it would be the means of re storing peace and prosperity to Ireland.

FRIDAY. _ The select committee on this expedition resumed their sitting this day, Mr. Candlish in the chair. Colonel Wilkins, the commander of the engineers in Abyssinia, was first called. He said : I was with the recconoitering force and landed at Masowa on the Ist of October. The subject of the water supply occupied my early attention. It was only by actual experience that we found that there was sufficient water within 3 radius of 16 miles to render the condensing engines un necessary, and it was towards the end of November we discovered the fact. Then I made a requisition for 17 miles of pipes, and and also for a means of water.

We did not contemplate at tl ning such extensive works as piers and harbonrs. THE SALMON FISHERIES. The select committee appointed to inquire salmon fisheries sat to-day for the first t: session to take evidence.

The chief defect of that Act with weirs was that there are no powers to take compulsory purchase.
