JUDGES JURISDICTION BILL, This bill, on the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, was read a second time. PROVISIONAL ORDERS BILL. This bill, on the motion of Lord REDESDALE, was read a second time. LABOUR REGULATION BILL Lord LYTTLETON asked the Government whether they intended to bring in a bill to amend the hours of the Labour Regulation Act. As it stood it was a dead letter throughout the country except in the towns of Lecke in Staffordshire and in Leicester. The Act was not carried out as it ought to be, and he should like to know whether the Government intended to bring in any measure to render the machinery of the bill more effective and efficient. The Earl of MORLEY said the Act certainly was not as strongly enforced as it ought to be, and it was necessary some steps should be taken to render it more efficient, but he was afraid that the business at present before Parliament would preclude the Government dealing with the subject this year. If pos sible, something• should be done early next session. The house then adjourned at twenty-five minutes to six. lIOUSE OF COMMONS.—TIIUsDAY. The Speaker took the chair at four o'clock. THE SOUTHWARK AND CITY SUBWAY BILL. This bill was read a second time. GASLIGHT AND COKE COMPANY BILL. The second reading of this bill was opposed by Mr. HARVEY 'LEWIS, who moved its rejection. He did so on the ground that it was an attempt to upset the arrange ment made by an Act passed in the year 1860, which par celled the metropolis into districts for the purpose of their being supplied in a special and peculiar manner with gas. The effect of carrying the bill would be the continual tearing up of the pavement in the public streets, and putting the ratepayers to endless expense. Petitions had been lodged against the bill by those were better 'entitled to a hearing in the matter than anyone else ; he meant the vestries of Marylebone, St. Pancras, and Pad dington; the Metropolitan Board of Works, and the Cor poration of the City of London. Mr. ADAIR supported the second reading. Mr. THOMAS CHAMBERS seconded the motion that the bill be read a second time that day six months. When the motion was submitted to the House, the "Ayes " were declared to have it, and the bill was, there fore read a second time. LIQUIDATORS OF PUBLIC COMPANIES. Mr. EYKYN gave notice that to-morrow he would ask whether the Government were prepared with legal mea sures to make more rapid and economical the proceedings by liquidators of the public companles at this moment being wound up. THE BEVERLEY ELECTION INQUIRY. Mr. EYKYN gave notice of his intention to ask whe ther William Henry Cook, scheduled as a briber by the Commissioners in the Beverley election inquiry, was the Q. C. of that name, and now a count); court judge, and if so, what steps the Government intended to take to vindi cate the law. INDIAN ARMY OFFICERS. Colonel SYKES gave notice that on an early day he would inquire what had been done in regard to the petition presented last session by certain Indian army officers, praying for a redress of their grievances. EXCLUSION OF THE CORNWALL COUNTY COURTS FROM BANKRUPTCY JURISDIC TION. Mr. R. N. FOWLER gave notice that on Monday he would ask the Home Secretary whether his attention had b-sen called to the order of the Lord Chancellor, excluding from Bankruptcy jurisdiction all the county courts o! Cornwall, with the exception of .'Truro ; whether such order was not opposed to the spirit of legislation of last session, the object of which was to localise bankruptcy business ; and whether, considering such order was pro ductive of great inconvenience to the trading interests of Cornwall, he would take steps to get the order rescinded. STRRET TRAMWAYS, Mr. SIIAW-LEFEVRE gave notice that to-morrow he would bring in a bill to facilitate the construction of street tramways. REVISION OF STATUTES. Mr. LOCKE KING asked the Attorney-General what progress had been made in the revision of the statute law, and how soon an expurgated list of statutes would be presented to Parliament. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said a bill was in a forward state of preparation. INDIAN PENSIONS. Colonel SYKES asked the Under Secretary of State for India whether the Secretary of State for India would bring in a bill, similar to Act 32 and 33 Victoria, for the commutation of the pensions of officers and others of her Majesty's Indian service, so as to place officers and others drawing pensions from the revenues of India upon the same footing with respect to the commutation of their pensions as was enjoyed by pensioners on the revenues of England. Mr. GRANT DUFF said no such bill was wanted. the Secretary of State for India /Laving already the power to commute pensions, but for certain reasons not considering it proper to exercise it. THE CENSUS. Mr. CANDLISH asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what means he intended to adopt to take the census of 1871, and if, previously to introducing any bill on the subject, he would refer the question to a Select Committee. 6 Mr. BRUCE said the intention of the Government was to adopt the course usual on such occasions, that was, to introduce a bill. It was open to the hon. member or any other hon. member of the House to move to refer the bill to a select committee. On the part of the Govern ment he was not prepared to make any such motion. Mr. HADFIELD asked the right hon. gentleman if he meant to adopt the course pursued in 1851 or 1861? Mr. BRUCE asked the hon. gtntleman to be good enough to wait until he saw the bill. SOUTH KENSINGTON MUSEUM. Mr. GREGORY asked the Secretary to the Treasury if he would place in the library the model of the build ings of South Keagii?gton Museum, and the explanation of the model. Mr. STANSFIELD said the Government had no objection, if accommodation could be found. PERSIAN GULF TELEGRAPIL Mr. GREGORY asked the Under-Secretary of State for India, whether he would lay before the House a copy of all reports connected with the expenditure on the Persian Gulf Submarine Line of Telegraph, ad the land line con neeting it with Bombay ; also of any reports referring to expenditure, whether by way of advance or subsidy, in connection with the land line from the Persian Gulf through Persia and Turkey. • Mr. G. DUFF said he would lay all the papers he had upon the subject upon the table. LAND IMPROVEMENT. Mr. J. WHITE asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the sum of £20,579,434 9s. 9d. in No. 38, the sum of £11,405,057 15s. 10d. in No. 39, and the sum of £7,340,268 15s. 11d. in No. 40 of the finance accounts to 31st March last, would together make the total amount of advances issued from the Exchequer by way of loan for land improvement, &c., during the reign of her Majesty; and, if not, from what date had those issues been made. Mr. STANSFELD said the question of the hon. member was rather vague, and he did not like answering any matter that contained an &c. The totals included, it would be seen, advances prior to the present reign. EDUCATION. Sir PERCY BURRELL asked the Vice-President of the Council whether he would make provision in the Bill on Elementary Education, with a view to prevent school masters of parochial or endowed parochial schools from holding or exercising appointments or employments cal culated to interfere with efficient execution of their duties as schoolmasters of the said schools. Mr. FORSTER said lie could not recollect the promise referred to, but he did not think it would be possible for the Government to bring in such a measure, but at present it appeared better to leave the matter to the Endowed Schools Commissioners. SCOTCH BOARDS. Mr. D. NICOL asked the Lord -Vivocate whether la intended to introduce this session a Loneral road bill fol Scotland. Mr. JOHN LEWIS asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether his attention had been called to a statement contained in several of the daily and weekly newspapers to the effect that, on Saturday the 12, forty one established men were discharged from Devonport dockyard without a day's notice, and without waiting, as had hitherto always been the practice, for the arrival of their pension papers ; and whether that statement was correct. Mr. CIIILDERS, in reply to the question of the hon. member, said his attention had not been called to the subject before seeing the hon. member's questions ; but on seeing the notice he at once telegraphed to Devon port to obtain information, and from what he had received, it appeared that on the 12th of last month 26, not 41, of establishment men were discharged, but that was not done without due notice. A long notice had been given to each person. It appeared that the men had been discharged before their pension papers arrived, but that had occurred through inadvertance, and care would be taken to guard against such a proceeding for the future. CANADA. Mr. ROBELT FOWLER asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the statements made in the Canadian papers were true, that after the recent massacre of Indians in the territory of Montana, the United States troops were allowed by the British autho rities to cross the frontier in pursuit of the fugitives who sought refuge there. Mr, OTWAY said there:Ns-as no information on the sub ject in the Foreign Office. TRADE SOCIETIES. Mr. T. HUGHES asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he would be prepared to intro duce the bill promised last session by the Government for amending the law relating to trades', societies. Mr. BRUCE said the bill was in a forward state of ure paration. THE ELECTION INQUIRIES. Mr. PEMBERTON asked against what persons prose tions had been commenced or were contemplated by the Government in reference to the Bridgwater, Beverley, or Norwich elections. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said prosecutions ha been instituted in Bridgwater, this inquiry against Sir 11. Ed: wards and Mr. Burrell in the Beverley case; against Messrs. Kinglake, Vanderbilt, Fennelly, and Lovibond, but it was not intended to proceed with the prosecution against the latter person. In the Norwich case prosecutions had been exhibited against Mr. Stracy, Mr. Hardment, Mr. Town, and Mr. Pennefather. ENGLISH LAND BILL. Mr. GATHORNE HARDY asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether he would introduce the measure relating to the land of the United Kingdom, to which he referred in his speech on the Irish Land Bill before the second reading of that measure. Mr. GLADSTONE said if possible the bill would be brought in before the second reading, if not, at least before the committee of the Irish bilL ADMIRALTY RETURNS. Mr. RODEN asked the First Lord of the Admiralty when the returns ordered in reference to the Coast Guard Service, on the 23rd July last, would be laid upon the table of the House. Mr. CHILDERS said the return was very voluminous, but it was in course of preparation. ENGLISH PRISONERS AT RIO. Mr, FINNIE asked the Under Secsetary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether any, and what further informa tion had been received from her Majesty's Minister at Rio de Janeiro as to the trial of the crew of the Mary Hamil ton, who had been detained in prison in Rio since the 26th March, 1869, and if the Government would urge upon the Brazilian authorities the necessity of their case beinc' inquired into without further delay. Mr. OTWAY said the latest information on the subject was up to the 18th inst. An appeal had been lodged, against the finding of the jury who tried the crew for the murder of the captain, and Mr. Matthews had been communi cated with from the Foreign Office. and that gentleman had not only urged on the Brazilian Government the necessity of speed in the matter, but had offered the men legal assistance. • EPPING FOREST. Sir CHARLES DILKE asked the First Lord of the frea,mry whether his attention had been called to a letter in the _nines of Monday last, from Colonel Palmer, the sole surviving verderer of Epping Forest, in which he stated that if the Queen should see fit to appoint a Lord Warden, and cause a second verderer to be elected, ho would then be in a position to protect the rights of the Crown in the forest for the benefit of the public. And, whether he was aware that the same gentleman stated, in his evidence before a committee of the House in 1863, that courte were actually held for the protection of the forest up to the year 1854, "until the Commissioners of Woods and Forests and the Attorney-General refused to give to such courts the assistance and•support which they had a right under the Act of Parliament to require and expect." Mr. GLADSTONE said it was not desirable to enter into the matter in any angry spirit. It was quite true that courts were held up to 1854 ; but as the Govern ment had undertaken to deal with the matter they desired to do so in the most amicable spirit which would, he thought, lead to the best results. (Hear, hear.) SCHOOL BUILDINGS. Mr. CHARLES DALRYMPLE asked the Vice- President of the Council whether in poor and populous districts, where it was reported that school accommodation was insufficient, the Groverwent, for the sake of stimu lating local efforts. would be prepared to offer grants for building on a more liberal scale than at present during the year of grace allowed to school districts under the Bill upon Elementary Education. Mr. FORSTER said he must refer to the answer he had already given. When the Education Bill had received the consent of Parliament it would of course become necessary to reconsider all the conditions of the grant. THE SUEZ CANAL. Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he could give any explanation of the circumstances under which two of her Majesty's ships of war ran aground off the Egyptian coast previous to the opening of the Suez Canal. Mr. CHILDERS said the ships, Royal Oak and Prince Consort ran aground on a bank that had been erected by the agents of the Suez Canal, and which of course did not appear in the official charts of the Admiralty. CONSULAR JURISDICTION. Viscount SANDON asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the report of the Inter national Commission upon Consular Jurisdiction lately sitting at Cairo was in the hands of her Majesty's Govern ment ; and if so, if it was his intention to lay it upon the table of the House, with any other papers relating to the subject. Mr. OTWAY said the report had been received, and ne would lay it and other papers before the House as soon as possible. PILOTAGE BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. LEFEVRE said after full consideration it had been deter mined after his measure had passed the second reading to to refer the bill to a select committee. Mr. GOURLEY was glad such a course had been adopted, as he was sure they could do as well without pilots as with them. * Mr. GRAVES also felt pleased at the determination of the Government. A larger question was involved in the matter, much larger than was generally suspected. Mr. JESSEL, also expressed his satisfaction at the course that was to be adopted with respect to the bill. Mr. CANDLISH, Mr. T. SMITH, and Major DICKSON having spoken on the subject, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ex pressed his decided objection to adopt the suggestion of the hon. member for Sunderland to separate the financial part from the rest of the bill, and refer it to a Select Com mittee. It would be adopting a mischievous precedent. Mr. CRAWFORD esid he was instructed by the chairman of the Shipowners' Society, whom he had seen that day, to say that he was perfectly satisfied with the principle of the bill, and did not think there was any necessity to refer it to a select committee. Mr. GRIEVE having made a few remarks Mr. S. CAVE said he strongly supported the refereno of the bill to a select committee. Mr. RATIIBONE also supported. that course. Mr. MAGUIRE vas opposed to it. Mr. WINGFIELD, on the ground that the bill in fringed the privileges of the unlicensed pilots, who were mi exceedingly usetul class of men, supported the propo sition of a select committee. Mr. KNATCHBULL-HUGESSEN. r.nd Mr. SHAW- LEFEVRE, on the part of the Government, gave an assurance that their desire was not to do an injustice to any person. Therefore, they had no objection to the bill being referred to a select committee. The bill was referred accordingly. WAR OFFICE BILL. On the Inotio4 for the second reading of this bill. Mr. MUNDELLA obzeived that there was no depart meat so badly managed as the purchasing department of the War Mice. There was gross mismanagement, gross corruption, and gross bungling, and it was impossible for the Secretary of War to keep such a system in check. Therefore, it was necessary that the Clerk of Ordnance, who would have the control and superintendence of the largest manufacturing and purchasing department in the world, should be the right sort of man. Any men man would save his salary a hundred times over. After a few words in further explanation of the duties of the heads of department created under the bill, the second reading was carried. COINAGE BILL. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in defer ence to the wish of the right hon. member for North North amptonshire, who as yet had not had time to give his attention to the subject, postponed the second reading of this bill to a future day. FEUDAL AND BURGAGE TENURE IN SCOTLAND. The LORD ADVOCATE then rose to ask leave to bring in a bill, the object of which was to abolish feudal and burgage tenure n Scotland. He would just make a few observations on the present position of the question of land right in Scotland. The land rights of both England and Scotland were originally the same, but time and other circum stances had altered them, yet this still showed that they both came from the same parentage. In both countries the right was based on the feudal tenure, and it was that system which embarrassed the conveyance of property in both countries. In Scotland all the land held by the real substantial holder was held by him simply as a vassal, and then there were certain dues, such as feu dues, casual dues, and other peculiarities ; but it appeared to him that the time had now arrived when the feudal system of land tenure should be abolished altogether, and that from the passing of the bill it should altogether .ease and determine. The effect of the House agreeing to give its sanction to the present bill would be to reduce the expense of the transfer of land, and one of the most im portant points in it was that it removed the objection able system without interfering with any substantial interests now in existance. The right lion. gentleman ex plained the principle clauses of the bill, which lie said would give the grealest relief to all those who might for the future inherit property in Scotland, and complete relief in certain cases where land paseed from heir to heir, and it also shortened the period of prescription from forty to seven years, after which the title should be unchallengeable, except in the case of fraud, and, as he had said before, it abolished the feudal system. It also abolished the burgage tenure, which was tenure within the royal burghs, and the measure was ac companied by a set of short forms of conveyance that would, lie felt certain be found to be a great improvement in the old and cumbrous process which had been so long in existence. Leave was then given to bring in the bill, aad the bill was subsequently brought in and read a first film. DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR SERVICES. On the motion of Mr. OT WAY, it was ordered that the select committee on Diplomatic and Consular Services do consist of twenty-one members—Mr. Bouverie, Mr. William H. Gladstone, Mr. Rylands. Mr, R Shaw, Sir Henry Lytton Buiwer, Sir Charles Wentworth Dilke, Mr. Kinnaird, Mr. Holmes Mr. William Cartright, Mr. Arthur Russell, Mr. Sclater-Booth, Viscount Sandon, Mr. Bostwick, Mr. Baring, Mr. William Lowther. Mr. Cameron, Mr. Frederick Stanley, Mr. Butler- Johnstone, Viscount Barrington, Mr. Frederick Walpole, and Mr. Otway. The House then adjourned at seven o'clock. LONDON, C lIITHAM, AND DOVER 11 AI LAVA Y. The haf-yearly general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at the Victoria Station, London, oa Thursday. The, report, which was presented and taken as read, stated that the result of the half year's working gave the gross receipts at 1:388,751 12s. Cd., being an increase of £29,064 ls. The gross expenses were 1;213,256 18s. 5d., shewing an increase of £1,778 9s. 4d. And the net result of the half year's traffic was a balance of £175,494 13s. 11d. In moving the adopti on o f th e report, the Chairman, Mr. G. Hodgkinson, M.P., said it Was impossible to cuter fully into most matters connected with the company, as they were under arbitration, and, therefore, according to the wholesome rule, could not be made the topic of talk. He congratulated the shareholders on the position of the company. The net income for the last half-year exceeded by £27,285 that of the corresponding half-year of the previous year (1868). During the past four years the income had risen from £163,000 to £281,000. This result had been obtained under adserse circumstances, for they had been working with a divided board, and they had been thwarted in their endeavours to increase the mineral and goods traffic. The somewhat high fares which the com pany had thought it necessary to make some time since, had been reduced since the Ist January ; and though they had carried a larger number of passengers at £l,OOO less money than previously, they expected this would soon be improved, and the system work well. They had made arrangements with the Metropolitan Railway Company to run trains through to Moorgate street, and they had also been in communication with the authorities in France with respect to the alteration of Calais Harbour, and the improvement of communication between France and England. He then proceeded to rebut certain charges which the three mortgage directors had made against the Board in a special report.— Mr. Hilliard seconded the adoption of the report. The general feeling of the meeting was condemnatory of the Mort age Directors, and a hope was expressed that they would withdraw their charges.—ln answer to questions, the Chairman said the Board was anxious, and would do their best, to reduce the expenditure ; that they were making efforts to obtain at least a reduction in the pas senger duties ; that Lord Clarendon, having been commu nicated with upon the question of improving Calais Harbour, had instructed our Ambassador in France to urge the matter upon the consideration of the French Government, and that the compensation the company was to receive for the telegraph was £lOO,OOO. The report was then unani mously adopted, and a vote was passed expressing full confidence in the board of directors; who were struggling with unusual difficulties. 111. E JUTE MANUFACTORY WORKS.—Several of our contemporaries, after reporting the case of the " last" girl at the jute factory who received the daily penalty of fifteen lashes on the hand with a leathern cat-o'-nine tails, had to contradict the report, and the authoritative request of the manager of the only jute factory at Barking " was accepted by the public and ourselves as exploding the entire story. But further inquiry into the circumstances has led us to the discovery that the facts were accurately reported except that Barking " was improperly waitten for " Stratford." The Ilford bench of magistrates did have before them undoubted and uncon tradicted evidence that a girl of 131 years was subjected to this cruel treatment, which the little sufferer said was a daily occurrence, always inflicted upon the last girl ;" adding that " if the girls did not hold their hands to have the stripes, they were discharged ; that was understood at the hiring."—Echo, THE NONCONFORMISTS AND THE EDUCATION BILL.—The Rev. R. W. Dale, of Birmingham, in writing to the English Independent, says "that the objectionable provisions of Mr. Forster's Bill are easily separable from the general scheme. He trusts that the Nonconformistraem berg of the House of Commons will not let the religious clauses pass without protest. The Government solution of this difficulty is absolutely intolerable to the dissenting bodies. Local vestries will have power to make a parish school de nominational, to entrust religious teaching to the clergy man, and to levy a rate upon all ratepayers, so that the school may be an appendage to the parish church although supported partly by Dissenters. What is this, it is asked, but a new Church-rate ?In determining what the religion of a school will be, the whole advantage will fall to the Esta blished Church and to Roman Catholicism, because the Nonconformists are restrained by ecclesiastical and political principles from taking advantage of their strength. In schools founded by rates there should be no denomina tional teaching whatever. Nonconformists would not object to the Bible being read, but it should be either after or before the regular school work, and no child should be compelled to be present at the reading. UOMPENSATION UASES.-6everal railway compensation oases have been tried in the law courts. In the Court of Exchequer, Mr. and Mrs. Metcalfe, who belong to the theatrical profession, and have managed a provincial opera troupe, have received £B5O for injuries received by Mrs. Metcalfe on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. Mrs. Metcalfe, who plays under the name of Miss Beauclerk, was thought by Sir W. Fer guson and Dr. Partridge to 'have suffered more mentally than physically, and the defendants contended that she had injured herself by performing instead of taking rent at the time of the accident. A Custom-house officer, name d Wheeler, sued the Southampton Dock Company in the same court for damages for an injury received from a tramway in the docks, but the jury could not agree and were discharged. At Nisi Prius, before Lord Chief Justice Bovill a nd a a special jury, licensed victualler at Kentish Town obi. tamed £6OO from the Midland Railway for injuries ceived at a collision in Moorgate-street. The expected settlement of the miners' strike itt the Worsley district has not been arrived at. A deputation ! of the men had an interview yesterday with Mr. fertday Smith, agent for the Bridgwater trustees, who stated the determination of the employers not to increase their off, r. 2. If, however, ho said, the miners would return to wot I‘, trustees would be willing to receive a deputation, and would listen to any statement they might have t 3 make regarding their grievances. A meeting was held y e sterday, and it was agreed to continuo the strike until the full rise iP coixecied. _ .. •
