The Earl of IImu:o ,vßr moved the second reading of this bill. The object of which was to give an act of incorporation to the college. Many years ago Mr. 0 WCT`, an eminent citizen of Manchester, died, leav ing £90,C00 f the purposes of founding a college which should bear his name. About 1852 the trustees were enabled to carry out this design, and succeeded in raising the rum from £90,000 to £123,000, but it was felt that the time had arrived for a still further extension of the use fulness of the college, and with that view a number of individuals had contributed £30,000, which was to be supplemented by £90,000 more, for which promises had been obtained. The subscribers, feeling that it was not desirable that the money so raised should be entrurted to private trustees, sought for an Act of Incorporation which was to unite the new contributors with the trustees of the old body, and it was for this pur pose that the present bill was introduced. Lord REDESDALE'S objection to the bill was that it did not come from a constituted body. ; 3panisht . ditto TIM DEAF & DUNI R.—The Committee or the JEWS DEAF and DUMB HOME are prepared to AP PT, 101.1' TONS for the ADMISSION of D E a n , l DUMB OBILDREN, of all denomidationtz, as Day Pet,il A , for instruction in awlible speech and lip-reading.

Mr. GRAVES asked the Secretary to the Board of Trado if the Corperation of the Trinity House has decided on establishing a uniform code of buoy age for the harbours and coasts within their control ; and, if so, whether, with the view of laying down a system for national adoption, the Northern Commissioners of Scotland and Ballast Board of Ireland had been consulted, and concur in the plan proposed by the Trinity House. Mr. SHAW-LEFEVRE said that since 1860 the Corporation of the Trinity House had been engaged in carrying out a national system. That system had been adopted at all points except the Mersey. The Northern Commissioners had carried out their own system. UNANIMITY OF JURIES. Captain DAWSON-DAUER asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether his attention had been directed to the ex pediency of assimilating the law of Ireland to that of Scotland with respect to the finding of verdicts in cases in which unanimity cannot be obtained. Mr. FORTESCUE said an answer to the question would come within a general statement of the crime in Ireland, which would be made to the House in a few days. GROWTH OF TOBACCO. Colonel FRENCH asked the Chancellor of the Exclaeciner if he would permit on any and what terms the cultivation of tobacco in Ireland. , The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the question affected nearly seven millions of revenue, and that nothing was intended to be done by the Government in the matter. THE NAVAL ACTIONS IN JAPAN. Mr. WILLIAM EDWIN PRICE asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, as medals had been given for the Abyssinian, .Llmbeyla, and New Zealand campaigns, ho did not consider that a medal should also be granted for the two general naval actions of Kagosima and Simonosaki in Japan. Mr. CHILDERS said he was not in a condition to 'give a definite answer to the question. POLICE SUPERANNUATION ALLOWANCES. Sir JOHN OGILVY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if it is the intention of the Govern ment to bring in a bill this year for providing super annuation allowances for the police force in Scotland. Mr. BRUCE said he intended to deal with the subject at the same time as he did with that for England. DELAY - or MAILS. Lord JonN MANNEns asked the Postmaster-General why the Grantham mail bags for London were sent round by Nottingham and Derby at the risk of occasioning many hours' delay in the delivery of the letters, instead of being sent directly rid Peterborough? The Marquis of HARTINGTON said the arrangement was adopted in order that letters for London, the West of England, and other parts might be sorted before arrival. He was aware of two cases of delay, but steps had been taken to prevent a recurrence of such a circumstance. He was aware there might be a later despatch from Grantham by the twelve o'clock train, but that was not a mail train, and the accommodation he did not think would be worth the ex pense incurred. BENGAL ORPHAN FUND. Sir CHARLES WINGFIELD asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was true that income tax had been charged upon subscriptions to the Bengal orphan fund, such subscriptions having hitherto been exempt, as of the nature of premiums on life insurance; and, if so, what was the reason of the change ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said there was no clause of the Act that exemplified these funds from the operation of the income tax. They had been exempted by mistake by the India House, but the error had been discovered and remedied—(laughter). DEBTS OF SPAIN AND PORTUGAL. Mr. SOMERSET BEARD:ONT asked the Secretary to the Treasury, what papers or documents there were in the Treasury having reference to the debts stated to be owing by Spain and Portugal to this country; and, if he would lay them upon the table of the House. Mr. STANSFELD said there were such papers, and ho would lay them on the table of the House. THE MILITIA. Viscount ENFIELD asked the Secretary of State for War, whether the retirement of quarter-masters of militia would be made compulsory after the present year. And, whether in the computation of their retiring allowances previous service in the regular forces would count as well as the time spent in the militia. Captain VIVIAN said the retirement of the quarter masters of militia would be effected in the manner de scribed by the Secretary of State for War the other evening. The retirement would be voluntary up to April, 1871, after which it would be compulsory. There would be some arrangement with respect to the time spent in the militia. RECOMMENDATION OF JURIES. Colonel TAYLOR asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he had received a letter from the foreman of the grand jury of the county of Meath, dated the 28th February ; and if so, whether the Government intended to act upon the suggestions contained therein : and if he had any objection to place a copy of the letter in question, and his answer to it, upon the table of the House. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said he had received the letter referred to, and had answered it, stating that the matter was receiving full consideration. He shouldhave no obj ection to lay the papers on the table, but he thought it would be injurious to make a partial statement before the right hon. gentleman at the head of the Government made his statement on some future day. DESTITUTION. Mr. W. M. Tounms asked the Secretary to the Poor law Board whether he was aware on the Ist instant, when a motion was made regarding the increase of distress, of the facts which were immediately afterwards disclosed in a return compiled and published under the authority of the Poor-law Department, namely, that in the third week of February the number of destitute persons in the metro polis had increased by 11,000 beyond the week preceding, and that since the beginning of the present year the 1111111- her relieved out of rates had increased from 152,752 to 1E0,231. Mr. A. PEEL said he was not aware of facts referred to in the return, but he hoped the hon. gentleman would acquit him of any dezire to mislead the House or to distort the truth. The figures stated by the hon. gentle man were unfortunately correct, but his argument was . unsound. Tho increase had been caused by the severity of the weather, and one more unfavourable return might be expected, but after that they might look forward to a permanent recovery from the depression. THE • IRISH LAND BILL. Mr. M &GUIRE resumed the debate on the motion for the second retAing of this bill. No Irishman, on whatever side of the House he sat, but who must be filled with a te. •rible sense of responsibility, for the state cf Ireland war such, and such were the expectations of the - people, caused mainly by long delay and fre quel i disappointmeno, that he canfessed if the bill did : wt realise the object in view it would be a very - rad day; er the country, and a deep ECTIE: , of injury would be felt 1 y who were nationally aff.'eted thereby. Re plyise.e- to the complaint of the right hon. gentleman, the suer bee for the University of Dublin, that the bill eapp' axed to treat the Irish tenant farmer as if he was mot in a condition to be placed on the same level .evs other yeomen, the hon. gentleman said, speaking .of the hundreds of thousands of farmer.; throughout the )untr f—men with farms varying from five to fifty acres --hist ad of complaining that they were not based on the same independent level as other men, he rather found fault- that much more protection was not given them under the clause of the bill. (Hear, near.) There were two races of landlords—the old Irish race and the new. It - would be most important to have it securely set forth that no • purchaser of property should enter into possession without being bound down to observe the obligation he .was about to assume. He had to direct the attention of hon. members to a blue book which had been published during the last few days. It was most important, as it would enable many to have a full knowledge of the subject under discussion, and it also shewed most clearly the necessity there was for spec:al regulations with respect to Ireland. It was the report of the Poor-law Commissioners for Ireland, and they there shewed that the misery that existed far and wide in that country was caused by the frequent change,—of property. Mr. Hamilton in that book stated another thing that led to much misery was the holding land on lease from year to year, and the reason for doing so was that there was no alternative where the demand exceeded the supply. It was a struggle for life and if in an encounter one man could not get a place to stand on he must take his chance of getting either tram pled upon or crushed out. Dr. Brodie also gave his opinion in almost similar terms, and the other persons whose evidence was contained in the book spoke of the evil that had been brought about by way in which land was held in that country. Another circumstance that gave either misery or happiness to the tenantry, was the change of landlord. Where they got a good man the condition of the people was hap piness and contentment ; but he would leave the House to imagine what it was when they fell into the hands of a few money lenders, who in some cases had held the land for money lent to the spendthrift owner. The change of agent also in some cases produced misery, that it was almost impossible to describe. There were some good, but some were so overbearing and oppressive, that they thought themselves a small god on earth, and this class made fools of themselves or slaves of their tenants. To show that a long lease would produce the most beneficial results, he knew a case where a gentleman bought 18,000 acres, and believing that the people had a right to live on the soil on which they were born, he gave them sixty-one years' leases, and in some instances leases for 100 years, and the result was that the landlord never had to go near them— (hear, hear)—and why ? because all they wanted was to do all they could for themselves, and the payment of their rent followed. That was brought about by giving a long lease. He knew another instance where a citi zen of Cork inherited a large property, and he gave a long tease at a fair rent, and the face of the country entirely changed throughout the whole of the limits of that property. There were, however, some landlords who treated their tenants no better than they would a cargo of corn or a drove of cattle ; and that being so, was it a wonder that the holdings of those persons was the scene A abject poverty? Notices to quit at one time had been thought sufficient to produce misery on the tenant, but now to that a system of stamped agreement was in some instances had recourse to, and ;hese instruments gave the landlord a more speedy .neans of seizing the holding of the unfortunate tenant who became a defaulter in rent. The tenant who fell under these stamped agreements had no resource out to yield up the holding, and thus they were dispos sessed, as they said, by a double-barrelled process, as,. if they could not be brought down by the one, they could by the other. The tight hon. gentleman, the member for Dublin Uni rersity, demanded that the clause legalising the tenant zustom should comprehend all Ireland. He (Mr. Maguire) .tould not conceive a greater calamity to the Bill. (Hear, sear.) There must be some definition of tenant right. lie believed there were a great many things to be im proved in the 1 dll in committee. One great point was that the - eV erurn art _Slion their . re+:ol44ti , 4*- 'to protect the labouring classe:i. The law of distress was a theory that ought to be abolished. and was surely . only maintainedin deference to the feelings a Englishmen and Scotchmen, who viewed .those things differently to Irishmen. It ought to be the earnest effort A Irish members to assist the Government in rendering their bill acceptable to the people of Ireland. The great want of Ireland was a peasant proprietary —an indepen dent class of yeomen, and there was not a more beneficent clause in the bill than that which provided for that object. (Cheers.) Mr. WARD Hum. said most deliberately that this was the greatest measure which had come before the House in his experience. It might be looked at from two points of view. First, as to how far it affected existing relations between landlord and tenant in Ireland ; and secondly, how far it would guide a good land policy for the future. He could not agree with some of the enactments of the bill, and one of those which he thought would require much consideration was that which laid it; down that the improvements were to be presumed to have been effected by the tenant unless it could be shown by the landlord to the contrary. He had sat some time ago on the Tenant-right Commission, and in the course of that inquiry he found that in many cases where improve- ments had been made in some cases the labour had only been given by the tenants as the materials had been found. Then main there was the provision which set forth the limits beyond which a tenant could not claim for improvements—but that, however, was a matter -of detail, which eould be considered on a future occasion. He could not agree with that portion of the measure which gave 'damages to an evicted tenants ; it was a most objectionable enactment, and one which he did not think either just or equitable. The right hon. gentleman then proceeded to read a long extract from the evidonee of Judge Long - field given before the tenant right Commission, to the effect that compensation ought to be given for capricious evicitons ; but he could not assent •to the proposal as laid down in the bill that was now under consideration. As to advances of public money for the purchase of land, he thought the provision would operate to the advantage of both landlord and tenant— (hear, hear). Respecting whether tho bill laid down a good land policy for the future, he was afraid it did not. In substantiation of this view, the right hon. gentleman quoted the opinions of eminent agriculturists—Lord Dufferin and Mr. H. S. Thompson—who had pronounced against the principle upon which tenant right was founded by this bilL He then proceeded to consider what were the omissions of the bill, and on this ground he found reason also for deep complaint. In conclusion, he again reassured the Government and the House of his sincere desire to improve the bill in committee, and to secure to Ireland a measure that shall be generally satisfactory. (Cheers.) The Anon:ay-GENERAL replied to one or two objec tions to the principal provisions of the,bill. The Govern ment had done all they fairly could to attain security in place of fixity of tenure. Mr. G. 11. MOORE said that if the people of Ireland were at all disappointed in the present measure it was because they had been led into (also expectations, producing consevent delusions, at the bands of designing persons. The principal objection to the bill, be thought, was that it. did not appear to carry out its principles to their own nal will and legitimate conclusion. He contended that it ought to have gone much farther in the development of national and local customs, which in every civilised country were a sure bend of unity. Despite those flaws, however, he should support the bill. The discussion was continued by Mr. Samuelson, who described the measure as an admirable cane; Mr. 0 . 5. who ascribed most of the misfortunes of Ireland to the want of the existence of anything like a middle-class fanner ; and the O'Donoghne, who criticised the provisions rel. ting to the granting of leases with great minuteness, tut was gene rally in favour of the measure. Mr. HENLEY Wa9 not surprised that, considering the enormously increased value of land iu Ireland of re cent years, there should be a cry for greater fixity of holding. He objected to the manner in which the present measure would put a money value on every holder .of laud in Ireland —in fact would put a ticket round his neck with the sum on it. As to the money-lending claus'es, he thought if itch a principle was to be carried out in Ireland it ought to be equally applied to Scotland and England; although wher ever it was extended it would, in his opinion # prove a dolusivg. TUESDAY. Considerine the trouble that some members take to get the entres into St. Step:lea's Club, it is aetonishing how slow they are t.) exercise their right. For instance, there is Sir J. G. Sinclair, who was elected for Caithness some time last summer, and y e t h e did not take his scat till I.vit night. Caithness, it is tree, is a long way off from Westrniaster ; yet it can scarcely have taken tho hon. baronet nine months to travel even from the North of _=',e.etland. The inference is that he thinks more of the honour than of the duties of M.P.-ship. The Marquis of Bowmont, bein; still in his green and salad days (he is only 21), has sheven more ala crity. He was elected about tea days ago, his locum tcnens havine dutifully- resigned the seat for Roxburghshire which he held by the grate of God and the favour of the Duke of Roxburghe. But where, oh where, is our Osborne? Think how many battles he has fought—with lambs at Not tingham, with Quakers at Liskeard, with Mr. Churchward at Dover, and with Rory on the Hill at Waterford; and then reconcile, if you can, his eagerness to obtain a seat with his tardiness in occupyingit I cannot explain it. I can only guess that he is not dry yet, that he has not yst done diluting his involuntary dose of tank-water with " L.L." whisk - 7. Let us say no more about him. Our nride must keep us silent respecting him henceforth. We can get on very well without him. We did get on very well without him last night, as you will presently see. The first glance at the House of Commons spewed that though a motion had been placed upon the notice paper-to reject the chief measure of the session, there was to be no really formidable opposition. There were none of the signs of a grand field night. The two leaders entered without the smallest at tempt at a cheer, though Mr. Disraeli walked up the whole length of the House with his usual tread, like that of a cat upon hot bricks. At half-past four—catechising time—there were many empty seats, though several inte resting questions were to be asked. Mr. Cooke was the hero of that half-hour. He had previously been the sub ject of much searchings of heart on both sides of the House ; and- as the Government could not say, in the absence of the Attorney-General, what they meant to do with him, Mr. Eykyn determined to put his question again as soon as Sir Robert Collier returned to his place. But the learned member for Plymouth was not able to give much information. It is quite true that Mr. Cooke had been declared by the Beverley Bribery Com missioners guilty of bribery, and it is to be presumed that Her Majesty's Attorney General does not consider a person lying under that stigma fit to hold the post of Judge. But the Government do not think it " ex pedient" to take any steps in the matter. Thus Dr. Kinglake is to be prosecuted for bribery at Bridg water, and Mr. Cooke, declared guilty of bribery at Beverley, is not only not to be prosecuted, but is to con tinue to sit on the seat of justice. Verily it is true, as it was of old, that " One is taken and another left." Th ere was some little excitement when Mr. Cardwell explained how the new Army Regulations would affect subalterns who wished to sell, their commissions; and there were derisive " Ohs," from both sides of the House when the Secretary for War said that the new rules were conducive to the interests of subalterns. Then Lord John Manners returned to the assault, and asked when the First Lord of the Treasury would be prepared to state his intentions with regard to the preservation of life and property in Ireland. 'There was breathless silence as Mr. Gladstone replied very briefly, " Her Majesty's Govern ment will state their views with regard to the condition of Ireland immediately after the debate which commences to-night shall have been closed." It - wsis now five o'clock, and the House had become well filled. Every seat downstairs was occupied, and the members' galleries were sprinkled with members. The Peers' gallery was but about a fourth full, and most conspicuous of its occupants was Prince Christian, who chatted with the Marquis of Clanricarde. Lord Orinathwaite looked down upon the assembly which ho once adorned under the less euphonious name of Sir John Walsh. Handsome Lord Harrowby sat in his usual stately fashion: The newly-made peer, Lord Greville, l oo k e d d mwn upon his youthful son mid successor below him. The Turkish ambassador and his red-fezzed suite occupied one row of the distinguished strangers' seat under the gallery. And here let me anticipate. These gentle men, of 'whom probably the majority wou'd understand very little of what was said, sat unmovable for nearly seven hours, as 1 can testify, and When I left the House about eleven o'clock they were still sitting as impassive as the great figures which Mr. Layard brought over from Nineveh. Neither coffee nor sherbet AVM brought - to re fresh them, no hookah aas brought to soothe them, nor did they even rest their weary limbs by sitting crates. logged. They sat like us i mil iel Giaours, only a good deal more upright and dignified, and they fasted with all the rigour of a ritualist parson ism llkey Week. It was a g,and an d impressive sight. But to return. At two minutes to five the Speaker put the question " That time :lath Med Bill be now read a seeend time." There was a bee: of cariosity to see wile was that would venture to say "eo" to tLat question. The h so brave stems found, not in the ranks of the Opposition, ".'revertirtlie seats Mow the gangway, but on the meond bend behind the Ministerial phalanx. Mr. Bryan, that was hie name, is the representative of one of the oldest families in Ireland. He OW" nearly all Kilkenny, and, f 1.4 a mater of course, represents that county. He is married to the daughter of an Engli 4l marquis, and looks every inch a gentleman. lie is half bald, and was well got up as to dress, without being a fop. But he was nervous—there was no doubt about that. Once before he had obtained some degree of celebrity by calling the attention of the House to the fact that Chief Justice Lefroy continued to hold his post when he was 90 years of age, and quite unfit for work ; but then he had the support of the Liberal party. This time he was setting himself in opposition to then). : and he, who, as a great landowner, ought to know, told the Government that if they thought their Land Bill would satisfy the Irish people they would find themselves grossly deceived.. He anticipated that he would be in a miserable minority, but he felt bound to enter his protest, and to move with unfeigned regret that the bill be read a second time that • day six months. Who would second the amendment? A tall, dark young man, with black moustaches, and every inch a soldier, and who was sitting by Mr. Bryan's side, rose to do so. There was no hesitation about him ; he was no more nervous than he would be commanding his company at a review. The first words that he uttered in a* strong clear voice showed that he was an orator as well re a soldier. But who was be? Capt. the lion. Charles White, fifth son of that Lord Annaly whom Lord Palmerston ennobled for having fought so many battles in behalf of the Liberals, not without much shedding of money. The Whites a hun dred years ago were represented by a small bookseller ; they now own land in half the counties of Ireland ; and so the seconder of Mr. B r y an ' s amen d ment was another representative of the Irish landlords. Though probably there were not twenty men in the House who agreed with him he wa s f requen tly cheered by 'both sides ; for his earnestness and graceful eloquence quite charmed that critical assembly. Once he made a slip ; he spoke of the " unanimous support which he had always given to the Liberal party, and when the House laughed he was not the least disconcerted, hut sub stituted " uniform " with perfect self-possession, went on with his peroration, and sat down amid a loud chorus of "Hear, hears." After the tragedy comes the farce. After Captain White came Mr. Dense. I confess this gentleman's name was almost unknown to me, and yet he had evidently already aequired a reputation. His rising was the signal for laughter, and every face was on the broad grin. Then followed shout upon shout, as in the richest of Milesian brogues he kept perpetrating bull upon bull, and " de ranging his epitaphs " in a manner that his great country man Lord Castlereagh never surpassed. 'l'i'e newspaper reports give no idea of the irresistibly comic character of the hon. member's oratory. Mr. Beresford Hope's " P,atavian grace " is nothing to it. And all the whit o Mr. Dense seemed as pleased as though faetead of It - molder it was cheers that he WAS The climax was reached when he put his hand upon his heart, and thanked hon. members for the great kindness and courtesy with which they had listened to him. He sat down amid a perfect explosion of merriment. Did I not say that we could get on very well without our Osborne? Then followed a dreary time of some three hours, nearly one of which was occupied by Sir Frederick Ileygate. Some excitement was created when Mr. Kavanagh was called upon by the Speaker. Mr. Glad stone was ut once all attention, and honoured the hon. member by taking notes, whereas during other speeches he occupied himself by cutting the leaves of a new kook, and chatting to Mr. Chichester Fortescue. Mr wears a long black cassock like a High Ch ao that no one can see his defective limi he sits, and read his speech from she. managed very cleverly with his no hands, showed much close etudy of the subj‘ somewhat dry.
