The object, whish 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 portio❑ 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 tnriber 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 acpom plished:_ The Trust of the Second Issue will last for twenty-five years, at the expiration of which time it is estimated that a largo proportion of the Certificates will, in all probabi lity, have been paid off, and that a large proportion of the Stocks will still remain for distribution as a reversion; accordingly the Trust will be wound up as soon as all the Certificates have been drawn, or at the end of twenty-five years, whichever shall first happen, the remaining Stocks being then sold, and any Certificates not previously drawn being first paid off, after which the balance will form the reversion to be distributed pro rata. For each £BO of the total amount subscribed will be issued a Certificate of £lOO with Coupons attached, bearing 5 per cent. interest, payable at the Banking-house of Messrs. Glyn, Mills, Currie, and Co. half yearly, on the 15th of January and the 15th of July, the first Coupon for the proportion of the half year falling due on' the 15th July next. In addition to the Interest Coupons, a Coupon, repre senting the share accruing to the Certificate-holder in the above reversion, will be attached to each Certificate. This Coupon of Reversion will be retained by the holder when the Certificate is drawn, and entitle him to a pro rata divi sion of the ultimate reversion. The advantages of the investment may be summed up as follows: 1. interest at £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.

This COMPANY has been formed with the object of pur chasing the entire FREEHOLD known as the SAVILLE HOUSE property, LEICESTER-SQUARE, with the houses in Lisle-street, abutting on the same, and creating thereon (a site unequalled in London for the purposes of the ODmpauy) a THEATRE, WINTER GARDEN, RESTAURANT, and !MERCANTILE CLUB. THE THEATRE will be one of the most spacious and elegant in the metropolis, and will accommodate about 6,000 persons. The stage will be ten feet deeper than that of Drury Dane, and will be fitted with every modern and scientific appliance. Great care has been taken that an uninterrupted view shall be obtained from every part of the house. The purpose of the directors is to give the grandest musical and spectacular effects that have yet been pro duced, in addition to dramatic performances, and at such prices of admission suitable to all classes, ranging from 6d. upwards. Separate staircases will be provided to every part of the house, from entrances in Leicester-squa re , Lisle-street, and Leicester-place. THE WINTER GARDEN will' surround the auditorium, stocked with the choicest plants, adorned with statuary and ornamental fountains, and will be available for all visitors except those in the gallery. 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 spacial arrangements for warming and ventilating. FIBST-CLASS CAFE, RESTAURANT, DINING, and SUPPER SALOON, served in the best style by a Parisian chef and assistants, at a strictly moderate tariff. 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 whirl' 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 PREEHOLD in the centre of Lou 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 buildgs. Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained at the offices of the company, or the bankers and solicitors. THE BENEVOLENT SOCIETY of ST. PATRICK. Instituted in the year 1784.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—TuESDAY. - - The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'olock. Earl GRANVILLE, in reply to the Marquis of Clanricarde, said that on Saturday a telegram had been received from Dublin, from the resident magistrate at Tuam, stating that a large mob had assembled, and were levytng money from the farmers, burning ricks, and com mitting other outrages. A detachment of cavalry was sent, but it was afterwards found that.there had been much exag geration. Both Galway and Mayo were in a disturbed state, and during the last few days bands of men had been roving about attacking houses, but information had been re ceived yesterday which was of a more quiet character as it was to the effect that the disturbances were dying out, and at the time all appeared quieter. Their lordships then adjourned at twenty-five minutes past five o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TuisDAy. The Speaker took the' chair a 1 four o'clock. THAMES NAVIGATION BILL. O vi n r. th L e o m eK o E ti o o p n p f o o s r e t d h t e h s e e c m o o n t d i orne as i s n t g h e o f b t i h n i s p br proposed on the part of the Thames Conservancy to deprive the watermen of the river of all the privileges they had en joyed for many years. It also proposed in effect to abolish the Waterman's Company. As the bill was of a very oppressive character, he hoped the House would not remit the bill to a committee, but that the House would object altogether to proceed further with the measure. Alderman SALomoNs supported the motion - of the hon. and learned member for Southwark. He objected to the Bills as the Thames Conservancy, not content with the powers they had with respect to the piers on-the river proposed to go as far as Gravesend, and buy up the tolls, and to levy a tax on every boat plying on the river. Colonel BEEESPORD objected to the bill, as if sanctioned its provisions would ruin a very large and industrious body of men. It would also act most prejudicially on all persons having waterside premises. Mr. GOURLEY expressed himself opposed to the bill. Mr. GOLDNEY supported the bill; and denied that it would have the ill-effects represented. All it did was to put an end to an old monopoly which it was desirable should be got rid of. In committee up-stairs all objections could be raised and well considered. Mr. CHARLES REED hoped the bill would be allowed to proceed to committee. He believed the Waterman's Company did not object to the bill going to committee provided they were allowed to put their case before it. He thought the provisions with regard to the consumption of smoke above bridge, and sunken vessels the bill would confer a great public good by making regulations to abate the imisance. Mr. LEFEYEE thought it best that the bill should go to a committee. The watermen he believed objected as much to the proceedings of the Waterman's Coupon) , as they did to the Thames Conservatory Board. Mr. C. Wnrasinim ,supported the motion of the hon. and learned member for Southwark, as he looked upon the provisions of, the bill as most objectionable. The House then divided, when were appeared— For the second reading 205 Against it Majority in favour of the bill —l63 EDUCATION. A great many petitions were presented from all parts of the country, prayingo3r various alterations in the Govern ment Education Bill, niore particularly against the power Proposed to be given to local boards. PAYMENT OF MEMBELS. Mr. P. TATLOB presented a petition in favour of his bill for payment of members of Parliament. DENUNCIATIONS FROM THE ALTAR. Sir THOMAS BATISON asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether the authorities at Dublin Castle were in possession of information to the effect that Mr. William wa s on the previous O'Brien, who was murdered in a more than usually brutal manner in the co unt y of .Leitrim in the m on th o f fromO ct the ober ax b y theßev. Mr. Evers, the Roman l i as t t s ,, Sunday denou nce d Catholic priest of Mohill. Mr. C. FonTssotric replied that he had never heard officially or otherwise until he saw it in the papers of the name of the Roman Catholic priest. From inquiries made by the police in that neighbourhood he had found that some persons in the neighourhood on the previous Sunday were mentioned as having assisted in the erection of the school by allowing stone to be taken from their property, but that Mr. O'Brien had not. There was no denunciation of the character described. LICENSES IN IRELAND. Mr. KAVANAGH asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether it ,was the intention of Her Majesty's Govern ment to introduce any measure during the present session to amend the law in Ireland which enabled Excise officers to grant wholesale beer licenses without reference to the magistrates. Mr. C. rORTESCin said the matter would be included in the General Licensing Bill which ho was about to intro duce. He 9erofore hoped he would wait for an answer until he was acquainted with the provisions of the measure. DANGEROUS EXHIBITIONS. Tr, tUSII asked the Secretary for the Home Depart ment if his attention bad been drawn to an article pub lished on the 12th instant, describing an exhibition in which a child of tender years was carried strapped to the l as k s i i imaliperiorper along .a.i9LIT tiglaissaldst.l46 .4 THE SNIDER RIFLE. Colonel BRISE asked the Secretary of State for War upon what principle of selection it was intended to dis tribute the 25,000 Snider rifles to the different Militia regiments, as adverted to in his speech upon intro duction of Army Estimates ; andwhether they would all be issued before the annual training. Mr. Oa swarm said he could not say positively what course was to be adopted, but they would be issued with out the slightest delay. -/rAA • . THE BUDGET.

Mr. TORBENS was understood to say that he would 40 -., soon. NAVY ESTIMATES. Mr. CORRY asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he would lay upon the table of the House the usual explanatory memoranda by the Director of Works before proposing vote 11 of the Navy Estimates. Mr. CHILDEns relied that he would do 80 in the course of a few days. CITY OF LONDON PARISHES. Mr. A. JOHNSTONE obtained leave to bring in a Bill to provide for the better arrangement of parishes withja the City. GAME LAWS. Mr. P. TAYLOR obtained leave to introduce 4 Bill for the abolition of the Game Lawe. PRISON ACTS. On the motion of Mr. Maguire, the select committee on this subject was appointed. BAKEHOUSES BILL. The second reading of this bill was postponed for a fort uighi. ELEMENTARY EDUCATION BILL The adjourued debate on the second reading of this bill was resumed by Mr. WINTERBOTHAIf, who said that every day that had passed had only heightened his regret that the education question hail been taken up by the Government during tip present year. The question was far more difficult than tne Dun Land Bin, and could not, he was afraid, be dealt with like that, as the present measure would touch nearly every home in the kingdom, and impose taxes which would press hardly upon some people, and, moreover, because it would grate harshly on the religious feelings of a great number of her Majesty's subjects. He thought it was but right that the opinions of the people should have been asked whether they were in favour of the propositions of her Majesty's Government before it was sought to give them the force of an Act of Parliament. He doubted much whether the Government were in possession of the necessary information to enable them to say that the great bulk of the population were in favour of the scheme of education which they had brought forward. He denied that the public faith was pledged to the system now in force. If the bill passed, there would be an efficient school accessible to every child, The hon. member contended that, although unintentionally the framer of the bill had trampled on some of the most cherished convictions and the deepest feelings of half the people of the land. He held that the statesman could not afford to ignore the sectarian preju dices of the people, if they chose to call them so. He thought that as a Nonconformist he had a right to say that they especially objected to the clause in the bill which allowed school boards to decide as to the religious teaching. It would revive sectarian animosity in places where it was dying out, and it would tend to revive the Church-rate controversy. The bill, in fact, on that point would be, instead of a blessing, a curse. There would be endless contests in the rural parishes, but under the influence of the parson there was little doubt which way the decision would go. The reason why denominational schools were objected to was that there was a fear of proselytising, but in his opinion the fear of that influence was much ex aggerated, and he believed that protection could be be given against it in most cases by a fair and earnest conscience clause. He looked with great regret upon the illiberal spirit in which Dis Ant was treated by many, and that had intensi fied much of that ill-feeling which existed. Dissent was treated like the cattle plague, to be stamped out. Yet notwithstanding all this, it had increased and was in creasing, and would go on so ; but because that was so, he did not see why it should be treated with such indignity. In the present bill those who differed from the Church of England had much to complain of, and he did not think the provisions of the bill were such as could give them the slightest hope that any good would ensue from the passing of the present measure. He objected to it most strongly, and the more so because the denominational 'schools called into existence by it would in effect be to create an Established Church in every school, a proceeding he had the greatest objection to. He hoped the Irish members would not countenance the present bill, because they had in their own country the best system of education it was possible to devise, and he did not think a greater blessing could be given to this country than the adoption of the Irish 'stem therein. He Looked with the greatest confidence on sound secular education, and he denied that it could in any way stand in the way of religious instruc tion. The Dissenters asked for nothing else but even. handed justice and fair equality. (Hear, hear.) They had done the Government great service, and he did re gret that, from the speech of the right hon. gentleman, last night he had to come to the conclusion that there was to be no concession. He claimed for those who were in favour of secular education as deep and true reverence for the Bible as any set of men on earth, and regretted that the right honourable gentleman had treated those who supported him, and who dissented from the teaching of the Established Church of England, with such* injsustice ; but, notwithstanding that, they would, he was sure, not fall off from their ffilegiance to the Government. The wrong might be committed, but the injustice would not be the less keenly felt or bitterly remembered. Lord R. MONTAGU at some length replied to the argu ments advanced by the previous speaker. It had been objected to religious teaching that it would create strife, but he supposed that strife arose from persons setting up too stoutly for their opinion. Religious education, in his opinion, with the strife which might arise was better than the excluding of religion from the school in order to escape from that strife. He argued that they could not produce any moral impression by teaching the art of reading ' writ intr. and arithmetic. and other secular subjects. Lord ROBBRT MONTAGU approved of the measure as a tribute to the denominational system. Mr. H. B. SAMUELSON supported the rchome, deeming it a great advance on all previous attempts at legislation on the same subject. He would rather have the present bill, with all its tendency to foster sectarianism, than have none at all. Mr. B. IlorE admitted that the bill might be susceptible of amendment; but to oppose it at its present stage would only be the work of a disappointed and discontented fac tion. Mr. MIALL denied that any sectarian doctrines were taught in Dissenting schnols, so far as he knew. a .4 A • - The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought the present measure was framed in a spirit of fairness and gratitude to the authors of the voluntary principle. lie confessed him self unable to understand the reason for Mr. Dixon raising the question in this particular shape. Generally such au amendment was a mark of hostility to a measure; but he could not impute any such intention as that to the bon. member, for the principle which he had selected was, as compared with the main scope and body of the bill, of a minor character. Referring to the action of the school boards, he iemarked that in whatever way the majority might determine, there was sure to be a minority that would he dissatisfied. This was a state of things inseparable from freedom. He admitted that there was much to be said against such a system ; but what sys tem could ingenuity devise for a solution of the education problem against which much was not to be said? With regard to the disposition of the Government to meet the wishes cf the various sections of the House, he ensured them that, instead of clinging with dogged tenacity to any particular view, they would rejoice if any gentleman could show them something that would better promote peace and concord. On the motion of Mr. HAncounT the debate was ad journed until Friday, when it was understood it was to be brought to a close. The remaining business was disposed of, and the House adjourned. THE SALMON FISHERIES. TUMMY. This afternoon the Select Committee of the House of Commons appointed to inquire into the operations of the Salmon Fishery Laws:of England and Wales, resumed its sittings. The committee consists of Mr. Dodds (chairman), Mr. Earl Percy, Mr. Whitwell, Colonel Anstruther, Mr. Herbert, Mr. Hambro Mr. Lowther, Colonel Edwardes, Mr. Lidd e ll, an d M r . Pease. Most of these gentlemen were present. Mr. Walpole's examination was continued. He stated that the weekly close time was 43 hours in Ireland, 42 in England, and 36 in Wales. He proposed that close time M England and Wales should be assimilated to the lose time in Ireland. He suggested that this could be most effectively done by an Act of Parliament. lie bye-laws of the district boards were, in some cases, very good as far as they went, but he thought it would be well that some definite law should be established on the subject, whereby the close time of the whole United Kingdom might be regulated. His proposition applied mainly to f r esh w a t e r p or ti ons o f rivers. He lid not see his way to totally excluding netting by day, out did to regulating netting. There was a precedent on he Irish law excluding netting during certain hours at night. He should like to see that precedent adopted to some extent in England and Wales. The hours of exclu sion in Ireland were from eight in the evening to six in the morning. He thought that some intermediate hours might be adopted for England and Wales, and suggested that ;he hours should be from eight in the evening till four in the .norning. Fishing would be promoted by such a restriction luring the night time. With regard to the mesh of nets, ce thought that the present system might well be improved ipon. On this point also he recommended a special Act of Parliament, which would give proper force to the bye laws existing, and would establish a definite set of regulations. It was desirable that there should be maximum and minimum sizes of meshes. The sizes of the mesh of nets should be regulated according to peculiarities, and the fishing of each river. The Scotch law at present authorises bye laws to be made on this part of the subject. He believed that this law is acted upon so as to meet the necessities ,f each river. The law is enforced by means )f bye laws. A similar law exists in Ireland, with regard to the regulation and the size of meshes. He ;bought it would be well to have a somewhat similar system in England and Wales. Both the mode in which aets are used, and the manner in which they are tied ;ogether, required fixed regulations. This should be also ,net by general legislation controlled by bye laws. (qr. Walpole described the various modes of salmon fishe des in practice throughout England and Wales, and jointed out that they are in opposition to the objects of .he law. The conclusion he had arrived at with regard to these several practices—some of them very prejudicial to ,he fisheries—was that the existing power of keeping nets throughout England and Wales should be restricted. A. restrictive law was the only effective remedy for the evils of the abuse of nets of which he had riven illustrations. In the case of fishing on the sea coast, ne thought there should be some leg islative regulations or stringent bye law. He thought it was desirable to unite the fishery districts. There is no power at present to merge two districts where it is found necessary. A necessity may arise where a district ought to be dissolved. It was well that such a power should be created. He was not satisfied with the manner in which Boards of Conservancy are constituted. These bodies are appointed at Quarter Sessions. The process of appointment is very compli bated. He thought these boards should be made representative. He should have them elected by persons more immediately interested in the various rivers. The owners of property on the river, the .Iwnera of salmon fisheries, and the license holders should be the electors of the conservators. He thought that the whole of the present system with regard to these boards ought to be superseded by a better one. The committee adjourned at four o'clock. LOCAL TAXATION. T The Select Committee on Local TaxatiOn met for the first time this morning (the Right Hon. Mr. Goschen in the chair) for the purpose of taking evidence. The first witness called was Mr. Fry, a gentleman con; fleeted with the Poor Law Board, who was employed by Sir Cornewall Lewis when Home Secretary to investigate the question of the local taxes, and draw up a report. That report was presented in 1846. He divided the tax ation into three large classes, but those rates levied in independ e nt di s t r icts framed on the basis of the poor rates ; secondly, independent districts in which the rates were not based on the poor rates ; and, thirdly, rates termed aggregate rates, which applied to counties as well as parishes. The witness enumerated the different rates in each of the classes. Since 1845 the sewers rate and the coal drainage rate, which was a modification of the old sewage rate, was imposed. That was in 1861. Then there was the general district rate, levied by local boards under the Health of Towns Act. That rate has been levied under three successive Acts, but they are now all under the Local Government Act of 1858, which modified previous Acts. The payments under that Act are for highway boards, burial boards, baths and washhouses, and also a rate for museums, and for repaving sewers, which is quite different from the ordi nary sewers rate, also the animals contagious diseases rate. The basis on which the sewers' rate should be levied is in accordance to law entirely different to the basis of the noor-rate. The rate is assessed by commissioners, and the law is that the assessment should be made on the owners of property in proportion to the amount of drainage done or suffered, and the commissioners are to assess bite owners according to their own judgment, bet practically that course is not pursued. The teneral district rate is assessed on the same kind of property and the same kind of persons as are subject to poor rates. Rouses pay the full amount, but land and market gardens do not. The highway rate is paid out of the poor rate. The Burial Board rate is paid out of the poor-rate. The public libraries and museums rate is paid out of the borough fund or the Improvement Commis sioners' rate ; but in some cases it is paid out of a special rate. Agricultural land in the borough pays only one-thirX The next is the rate of the sewer authorities, which are to be separated from the drainage authorities. In towns the sewers authorities are the corporations. The object of making separate rates is to provide for the diffe rence of the scales of payment. As regards the basis of valuation they follow the poor rate, but the payment is according to different scales. The animals' contagious diseases rate is paid by different local authorities, and there is a distinction between the sum paid as rates and as compensation. There are also a number of other rates levied under local Acts. The general Acts are applicable to all the country, but they are not generally applied. Th ere are various other local rates such as the salaries and allowances to gaolers, the cost of prosecution for felonies, the making out of the jury lists. the cost of the registration of births and deaths, tho maintenance of lunatics suspected of crime, the expenss of public vaccination, the expense of the census every ten years, the fees and allowances to justicss, clerks, and parish clerks, the salaries of constables the expense of returning officers for cities and boroughs in parliamentary elections, the expense of repairing boundary stones and keeping up boundaries, and the ex pense of fencing and draining public land under the Com mons Enclosure Act, for the recreation of the public. The only rates required by law to be assessed on the owner is the sewer and the special drainage rates. It would be the leaseholder who should pay it, and not the freeholder. It might be the freeholder if he let the property. Originally there can be no doubt that the sewer rate was payable by the owner, as well in respeo& to his occupancy, Mr. Longworth, a colliery proprietor, mbar Bolton, was on Monday convicted of various offences against th.
