MADRID, March 17. In to-day's sitting of the Cortes a motion was brought for ward for placing all provinces on exactly the same footing as regards the payment of wages to the poorer classes and rent coupons. The motion was rejected by 74 against 38 votes. It is asserted that the Government have resolved to abstain from sending a special envoy to the Ecu menical Counc:l, in consequence of 'the spirit which prevails at Rome. The general belief is that the promulgation of the Infallibility dogma would be detrimental to the prestige and the in! crest of the Catholic Church in Spain, as tolerance now prevails, both in religious and political questions, and complete liberty has been granted to ministers of all creeds.

HOUSE OF LORDS, THURSDAY. The House of Lords sat as a Committee of Privileges at tan o'clock this morning, Lord Redesdale in the chair. The evidence in the Wicklow Peerage case was again proceeded with. The following learned counsel are engaged in the case For the claimant : Sir J. D. Coleridge, Q.C. (the. Solicitor. General) Mr. Herbert Smith, and Mr. Charles Clarke. For the orisinal claimant : Sir Roundel' Palmer, Q.C., Sir J. Kar.3lake, Q.C., Dr. Ball, Q.C., and Mr. Fox Bris towe, Q.C. For the Crown : The Attorney-General (Sir R. Collier), Q.C., and. Mr. Archibald. Mary Best was recalled, and cross-examined by the Solicitor-General : I lived in 1864 with my aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Matthews, and knew Mr. and Mrs. Jones. My uncle and aunt are now dead. Mrs. Jones took me to see a doctor, to know if I was with child or not, but she did not go to the workhouse with me, though I saw her several times. After I came out of the workhouse I went to the house of a person named Bedward for a week, and then went home. I had my child with me. Mrs. Jones saw me with the child. I did not say anything to her about keeping the child and I did not offer her ss. a week for doing so. Nothing whatever passed about it. I will swear that within eight, nine, or ten days , after I left the workh ou s e I was at the house at Stokesley, at the Bedwards. I h a d bad breasts at the time, and Mrs. Jones told me to put poultices on them. I did not tell Mrs. Jones I was to take the child to Thorpe. After I left Stokesley I went to live at Mrs. Matthews. In May I got a letter, stating that my child was dead at Thorpe. Mrs. Jones did not tell me to put on black, and I did not cry about it. I did not put on black. The letter was addressed to Mrs. Mat thews. I told Mrs. Jones that the child had delicate eyes, having taken cold in the workhouse ; that was so. The child that I brought up was not my child, it was given to me when I left the workhouse. I cannot say at what time it was given to me, or who was present. It was in the lying-in ward, and there were others present. Ido not know them, neither do I know whose child it was. I didnot want any one to know it was not mine. The Solicitor-General : But you know you had disposed of _your son to Mrs. Howard, and why could yo u no t account for it?—My friends Lew I had a child, and I wanted to take one out with me. Witness continued—The only person I told of this was Mrs. Johnson, who lived on the left hand side of Mrs. Matthews, coming towards Islington. I told her it was not my child ; my child was dead at the time. I then told her I had given my own child away. This came out in the course of conversation, and it was about two years ago, in the spring of 1868. I had not seen Mrs. O'Brien nor Mrs. Higginson at the time. I swear I was not at Liverpool Workhouse in August or October last. I showed the child I took from the workhouse as my child, but I did not go out much. I told Mrs. Smith that my child was dead, but don't remember saying it was in Wales. I did not cry that 1 remember, but I was in mourning at the time. That was for a little boy of Mrs Matthews. At Stokesley I told all my friends and the doctor that the child I then had was mine. I did not tell Mr. O'Brien when I told him that I parted with my child to Mrs:Howard, and that I brought another child out with sue, but I believe Mr. Higginson knew it. I paid for the burying of my child, and was never paid back. I never took any steps to find who was the mother, and it never occurred to me to try and trace. When I was exa mined by Mr. O'Brien I did not know what it was for. I knew that I was coming to a court of law on Mr O'Brien's business, but I did not know it was to the House of Lords. By Sir Roundel' Palmer : I thought inquiry would be made about my child if I came out without one, as there was no proof to give that it had died. My uncle and aunt were not persons who would have let the matter pass over without inquiry. I told everyone it was my child. Mrs. Johnson is still living at the same place, 101, St. Ann-street, and when I told her I did not know of a law case • I told her the same story as I did your lordships, and it is true. Sir R. Palmer produced a letter dated March 13, and asked witness if It was in consequence of that she told her father. Witness said it was in answer to that letter that 'she told het father. The letter was then read. It was from witness's father, and ran as follows :—" My dear Dau g ht er —W e rece i ved your letter and are sorry you have got i n t o so much trouble. You need not think about it being kept a secret, for it is in all the new s p a p ers . Th ey have been handed round from one house to another before we heard of it. It appears that you have given the child to a lady, and it has cost me and your Uncle John a great d ea l ottrouble, and if you did give the child to the lady, where did you get the child from you brought to Stokesley ? Please let us have the truth, as we are anxious to know." The Lord Chancellor : Did you ever receive any assistance from the father of the child ? No. None at all ? I never saw him afterwards. Lord Colonsey : I suppose your child was a boy ? Yes. Lord Chelmsford : Did you ask to have another child when you left, or did some ono propose it ? It was brought to me. By whom : I could not say. I was fretting about my child, and it was brought to me. I did not want it. By Lord Redesdale : I was a general servant, Slid earned 1;9 a year. Mrs. Higginson, examined by the Solicitor-General : I did not repeatedly see Mrs. Howard in the course o f l as t summer', in Queen-street, Mayfair. I heard she was.there, but I did not see her. I went there once with Mr. O'Brien, to identify the lady who took the child. I did not go especially to see Mrs. Howard. I did not see her. I never sat next to her in the lobby of the House last year. I swear I did not see her in the House last sum mer at all. I was only in Queen-street once. I was to watch the house of Mrs. Howard, but I did not know it WAS hers at the time. Ido not know that the police were Complained to about my watching the house. I was not interfered with. I know nothing of the story of the second child. I am" willing to swear that Mary Best did not go out with a child to my knowledge. She ought not to have done so without my knowledge. Mary Stuart ought to have known, because she washed and dressed the child. Yesterday afternoon was tho first time she had been to the Liverpool Work housey i t Lord as Chelmsford:ot her wn. IfT since l as t wee k. By the Lord Chancellor : Though I kept an entry at the child, I did not miss it. Mary Stuart would know of it. If a child died I should be told of it. Mary Best's child was b a pti se d b e fore it left. It was named William. beweannt out with it. The child The books i n th e o ffice were examined by the guardians from tim e t o ti me , b u t she was not prepared to say if the day books were. worearreyw Beat Sir Roundel' Palmer asked if any other women went out witt children in the same way ? On referring to the books it was found that two women left on 'I same day , ' one with a male and one with a le In the • -in ward. 4 4 Mary tuart, examined by the So lici t o r - Ge ne r al : I f ly iN d ..Collier : There were 36 women and children remember Mary Best's child being given to Mrs. Howard on the 26th.

She could have got, into the she having sent for me. I saw Mrs. Higginson there. It was about noon. I did not see Mr. O'Brien at all yeste rda y or on Tuesday. A number of witnesses were called to prove Best that had said that the child that died was hers, and that she appeared much affected at its death. was examined - William Best, the father of Mary Best, in the September of a child coining to me at Stokesley 1864. She seemed to do for it as though it was her own that it was not so. child, and I saw no reason to think followed at the by the Solicitor-General :—I remember my daughter and I remember the child dying.

Dr. Handyside deposed to attending the child in its dying illness. Mrs. Daris vsaid that she remembered Mrs. Howard being at Longney. She was there at the time of Long ney feast, which always came on the first Sunday after the 10th of August. She remained, she knew, till the g end of A ugu st, and she saw her at least twice a week. This was in the year 1864 . She did not remember Mrs. Howard beiniawaY durin the period me n ti one d. Sir Rounde 1 Palmer : he used to go to the house for orders, and always took them from Mrs. Howard her- self. Richard Matthews : I have lived for the last fifty years at Longney, and am a carrier. I have known Mrs. Howard for a long time. I remember the August of 1864. T saw Mrs. Howard there on the Monday week following the Longuey feast, and at other times also. [The object of this and the evidence of previous wit nesses was to shew that Mrs. Howard was at Longney at the time it was alleged she went to Liv er p oo l with the obtaining a child to adopt.] David Matthews, son of last witness, deposed that he went to pick some fruit at the vicarage on the 22nd August, 1864, and saw Mrs. Howa r d there then. He also saw her on several occasions during the ensuing week. Sir R. Palmer : Longney feast commences on Sunday,l think ?--Yes. And is it kept up on the Monday ?—You can keep it up all the week if you like. (Laughter.) And I suppose some do like. (More laughter). But if it is kept up all the week, might it not be a week later you s aw Mrs. Howard than you now indicate ?—No it was on the 22d I am sure. Cross-examination continued : He had not been visited by a lawyer and asked to give evidence. By the Solicitor-General : He went voluntarily to the lawyer with his proofs. By the Lord Chancellor : Mrs. Butterfield and Mrs. Davis had been to him about the case, but the only thing he was told was that most likely he and his father would be wanted. Nothing more transpired. He did not remember when they came— whether it was two, three, or four weeks ago. The Lord chancellor : But you have been swearing to a date six or seven years ago . - Surely you can recollect a week or two back ?—No, I cannot. Butterfold, curate of Longriey, and Mrs. Howard's step-father, recollected his daughter being at the vicarage th 9 P-2-4-114 . 4 ' 181114 ' Ilvvg slept out of the house, and it was impossible she could have gone to Liverpool, The Solicitor-General sail he did not propose to call further evidence. Sir R. Palmer : I thi n k i t r i g h t to say t h at as soon we heard the statement, which is a material one, whether true or otherwise, as to Mary Best having men tioned to Miss Johnson two years ago, what she has told the house t o -d a y, welelegraphed to - Liverpool for ,the attendance of Miss Johnson. I should like to have an opportunity of tendering her as a witness, whatever she may have to say. Lord Chelmsford : Is that the only witness you propose to call ? Sir R. Palmer : As at present advised, that is all my lord. It was then arranged that Sir R. Palmer. should address the Houee upon the evidence, after which the Solicitor- General should be heard on the other side, and Sir R. Palmer should be allowed to reply if it was thought nßcessarv. THE TUNERAL OF M. DE 31ONTALEMBERT. The funeral, of M. de Montalembert took place on Wednesday morning, in the midst of a large assembla,e, who crowded to render a last tribute to a man of Xis tinguished talent and high character. Before ten o'clock the hotel which M. Moutalembert occupied was besieged by a crowd of visitors, who were eager to inscribe their names to leave with the porter, The pall was held by Count Daru, the Duke de Brogli6, Prince Czartorisky, and other distinguished persons. Th e f unera l service was celebrated in the church of Ste. Clotilde. The simple form of interment prescribed by M. Montalembert, was strictly adhered to. The body was interred at the cemetery of Pik us, where the Mantalem- . bert family have a vault. - Pi‘pus was a place of refuge for many of the victims of the Reign of Terror, and this induced the Montalemberts to choose the spot for thair cemetery, because some of their family had perished by the guillotine. According to the express wish of the departed, no funeral discourse was pronounced over his remains. Among those present on the sad occasion were M. 011ivier, M. Guizot, and M. Thiers, &c. A MODEL PRIVATE SCHOOL. Mr. Fearon, in his report on the state of education in Manchester and Liverpool gives some strange accounts of private schools in both towns. On one in Manchester he say :—" When I visited this school I found the person who filled up the return, as master, for the regis trar had left, and his place had been taken by a new teacher. The new teacher, said that the cause of the departure of the old teacher was that he had been arrested as a deserter from the Regi ment. The new master had been a manuscript reader to the press, but was dismissed from his employment, according to his own statement, for refusing to come to work at three o'clock on Christmas Day, 1868, and since then had been more or , less out of work. He seemed a clever and intelligent man, but was In rags, and said that all his clothes and effects being in pawn he could not get work.. My visit was on a Monday morning, and he said he had eaten nothing .since Saturday. His schoolroom was once a master carter's office ; the ap proach to it from the court is by a narrow, filthy entrance, then up a sort of staircase-ladd er w h ic h l ea d s t o A first floor of a deserted and dilapidated building, whence another ladder staircase conducts to the school-room. The room was utterly without furniture of any kind exoept a low settle round two sides of it, and one small chair on which the master sat. The floor was much broken and seemed dangerous and the staircase-ladders • very dangerous. For this room the master paid ls. ad. a week rent. There were fourteen children present, eleven boys and three girls. There were only four reading-books in the sohool, and one copy-book, but as there was no table to write at, the copy-book could not be used. I found one scholar present, aged 11-i years, who had been examined in a neighbouring inspected Roman Catholic school in Stan dard IV., but who here was only learning to read. The master showed me his method of teaching. He makes the scholars all put something . into a "sweepstakes." They put in pins, or anything picked up in the streets ; he then tries them competitively in reading, and the best reader carries off the sweepstakes." Connecticut prop o s e s to pass a law restricting people from procuring divorces until they have been married at least two weeks. ROYAL SOCIETY.—Fifty-three candidates have sent in their cl a i ms thi s y ear for the much-coveted F.R.S. and as only fifteen candidates can be elected annually, thirty-eight of these gentlemen will be disappointed. The election will take place in June next: - , STRIKES IN AUSTRIA.—A serious disturbance has just occurred in the factory of Svarow, Bohemia, in the weavers' strike for an increase of their wages, and a diminution of their hours of labour. They destroyed the machinery,, and threatened the officials, but the superintendent ulti mately granted their requests. The bakers of Vienna threaten a strike. The compositors' strike in the capital still continues, and there is not the smallest prospect at present of a compromise being arrived at. We are enabled to state that there is no truth whatever in the report which appeared on Wednesday night in an evening contemporary to the effect that the President of the Board of Trade was about to resign his office and to be replaced by Mr. Cardwell. There is nothing in the latest accounts of Mr. Bright's progress towards recovery to justify the-rumour of any rearrangement of the Cabinet. —Daily News. THE SHAKESPEARE FOLIOS.—The first folio edi tions of Shakespeare have been sold bynuction In London. The first folio (1023), the first -collected edition of the plays, was knocked down for £360, to Mr. S. Addington. The second folio (1632) was purchased for 225 10s. by Mr. John Kershaw ; The third folio (1664), a very rare copy ! excited a fine competition, and was eve n t ua lly k noc k e d downto Mr. Addington, for the sum of 2200. The fourth folio (1685) was also purchased by the same gentleman for £2olos. Several reprints and fac-similes of the quarto plays were afterwards submitted for sale, and realised ex cellent prices. EARTIIQUAKES AT TRIESTE.—A letter from Trieste says that three shocks of earthquake have lately been felt there. The town has suffered no damage, but some places in Dalmatia have suffered severely, At Clana, in the district of Volosia, 140 houses have been damaged and 37 destroyed. The population had to pass the night in the open air, exposed to a severe frost, for during the ni g ht f l ift een hocks of earthquakes occurred. At one moment the village was in danger of being de stroyed by two immense masses of rock, which rolled down from a neighbouring' mountain ; fortunately they were stopped in their course by a thi c k woo d. But however great the disaster may be, no loss *of life has to bb de plored. • LAUGHING GAS.—An important debate in the .11Iedical Society of London this week, on the best form of an sesthetie agent, on the occasion of a papas' by Dr. Richardson, led to a curious difference of opinion amongst the faculty as to the safety of this agent, now exten sively administered by dentists to annul the agony of tooth-drawing. Dr. Sansom and Dr. Kidd, both au hors of standard books on chloroform, pronounce the nilroils oxide or laughing gas the safest of all anaesthetics for short operations, to which Dr. Richardson on theoretic grounds demurred. Dr. Kidd made the further announce ment that this "gas " is now condensed into the form of a fluid, and is likely to supersede all other anesthetics in tooth-drawing cases. DEATH OF A CLAIMANT TO A PEEHAGE.—On Sunday Mr. John Campbell, lately messenger -at-arms, died at Fort-William, at the age o f 93 years. Deceased was the elder brother of Lieutenant Donald Campbell, late of the 57th Regiment, who died a few months ago, and whose name figured so conspicuonsly among the Breadalbane peerage claimants. John Campbell was a great genealogist, and could, to his own entire satisfaction trace his descent direct back to lan Glas, heir of Lord Breadalbane, who got the £lO,OOO from the Government of the day to quash rebellion in the Highlands, and for which he refused to account when demanded. Deceased held the post of messenger-at-arms in Fort William for the long period of fifty years, and only resigned about two years ago. He died a bachelor. ANOTHER GREAT BILLIARD MATCH.--W. Cook, jun., the champion, and J. Roberts, sen., from whom he wrested the honour, m e t aga i n at Wandsworth on Wed nesday night before a very large audience. The score was 1000 up. At 8.25 Roberts broke the balls by trying to screw in off the spot, but failing to score he let in his op. ponent, who at once gave a sample of his execution by making 65 before breaking down. Roberts, however, was the first to compl e t e th e fi rst 100 , an d at one time, after a fine break of 101, was at 240 to 108 for C oo k. Th e y oung champion, nothing daunted, quickly responded to this by breaks of 177 (44 spot strokes) and 6,7 the latter b e i ng a gran d spec i men of all round. ',lay. When the i n t erva l f or re f res h ments took place Cook had just added a magnificent sum of 204, which comprised 48 consecutive spot strokes, and in which his precision in hazard striking, his wonderful delicacy of touch, and knowledge of strength were fully exemplified. On resuming play, Roberts at one time lessened the great gap between himself and his opponent, but his efforts were all in vain, as Cook at 11.40 went out with an unfi nished break, the winner by 245 points, Roberta goring 755 only. ANOTHER THIEVES' SUPPER.—Ned Wright has given another soup supper to about two hundred thieves in the New Cut Gospel Hall. The scene has been de , scribed before, but a passage from an article in the Dail News may be interesting. " Having in view the man and his mission, criticism proper should be silent as to the merits of Ned Wright's address. Of one thing there can be no doubt —he commanded the ear of a body of thieves ;_ affected them visibly ; mad them at a word bend their' heads meekly, while he offered prayer; called forth the tear at one mo, ment, and the smile at the next; and played upon their feelings, as a master who commands every string. The secret of this success, for which so many educated and wise in vain sigh, was very apparent—simplicity and earnestness. The speaker did not preach to his hearers so much as talk to them, and the touch o f na t ure, after little management, made them all kin. Considerable tact was shown in the selection of a subject. Wright read, in homely accents, with a dramatic force of which the narrative almost naturally admitted, but which unfortunately , so very rarely characterises Bible readings of any kind, the trial before Pilate. He carried his strange audience with him from Step to step—the release of the robber, Barrabbas, the adornment of the popular victim in mock raiment, the derisive smiting with the reed, the jibes of the unbelieving crowd, the toilsome journey to Golgotha, and the vivid incidents of the Crud fixion. All this was told amidst profound silence, and the earnest eyes, and parted li ps b e l ow were a strange, an d , indeed, touching sight to the krivileged srectatcrii uPOU the platform." It is ruruoured that a selection 'of about one hundred of the late Mr. ICeble's letters to various persons who were in the habit of consulting him on " cases of Conscience " will shortly appear.

He made a very energetic speeoh against the Conscience Clause in the Bill. lie objected to money being raised by a tax on all, and then being disposed of by a denominational sect.

He thought the pro posal to place power in local boards would be to bring into existance religiCius and irreligious public-houses (laughter) -and that there would be a great deal of religious dissention, but a great deal more of religious beer. (Laugh ter.) The proposal was altogether bad, and he for one would not support it. (LEFT SITTING LONDON GAZETTE—This Evaning, FOREIGN OFFICE, MARCH 18.
