In compliance, therefore, with a general desire, it has been determined to open a subscription for a second issue not exceeding £600,000, in Certificates of £lOO, to bear 5 per cent. interest, to be issued at £BO. The object, which is now well understood, is to give to the Investor of moderate means the tame 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 portion 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 foriber 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 accom plished, _ _ _ The Trust of the Second Issue will last for twenty-five years,'at tlie expiration of which time it is estimated that a large 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 reversien 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 Company) a THEATRE, WINTER GARDEN, RESTAURANT, and DIERCANTILE 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-square, 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 special arrangements for warming and ventilating. FIRST-CLASS CAPE, RESTAURANT, DINING, and SUPPER SALOON, served in the best styl e by a P ar i s i an 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, BO much required in London, and for the successful carrying ant of which 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 FREEHOLD in the centre of 'lion '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 par cent. for the last fiva years. A contract has been entered into with Mr. JOHN KIRK, of Woolwich, for the erection and completion of the whole of the buildings. Prospectuses and fOrms of application for shares may be obtained at the offices of the company, or the bankers and solicitors. T" BENEVOLENT SOCIETY of ST. PATRICK. instituted in the year 1784.

The Churchwardens Eligibility Bill passed through committee. STATE OF IRELANI, Earl GRANVILLE then made a statement of tie pro- ceedings the Government intended to adopt, with a view of giving greater and increased protection to life and property in Ireland. The noble lord then repeated in nearly precise words the statement made in the House of Commons by the First Lord of the Treasury. Their lordships adjourned at a quarter to six. IiOUSE OF COMMONS.-MONDAY, The Speaker took the chair at four o'clock. SUNDAY TRADING BILL.

Lord ROBERT MONTAGU asked the Vice-President of the Pommittee of Council on Education, whether the num bers given by Mr. Fitch in his recent report on edncatiou were correct, namely, 83,126 children between the ages of 3 and 13 in Birmingham, and '58,307 in Leeds ; and whether it was ascertained by the last census ( 1861) that the number of children of the total poinflation of England and Wales between the ages of 5 and 12 is 15'8 per cent. of the gross population, or 1 in q. Mr. FORSTER replied that with regard to the first ques tion, he had reason to believe that the numbers given in the Pailiimentary return were correct. They were obtained from the Registrar-General With regard to the second plestion, he believed the census was correct, and the noble l o rd had just the same access to the information in respect of the census as published as he had, and his opinion would be no more valuable to the House than the noble lord's. With regard tiithe'third question it was a matter of calculation and estimate, and so far as could judge it , was correct. With regard to the fourth question the noble lorg. had fallen into some Confusion: between his returns, and pro bably that accounted for his noticing the question. He quoted figures - to spew that the returns as affecting the Parishes in 1861, by no4meani applied to the borough of Birminglim in 1869. • a ... • REMOVAL OF PAUPERS. Sir HEaVEr BRUCE asked the Lord Advocate whether he proposed to introduce al bill this session to amend the law regarding _the removal ofpaupers from Scotland to Ireland. • The LORD ADVOCATE said that a committee was inves tigating the subject, and it would be premature to take any steps until it had concluded its labours. LAND IN IRELAND. Mr. WINGFIELi) RAUB asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he would inform the House what had been the number of petitions for sales of property under the sale of Encumbered Estates Acts since the end of December la3t : whether in any eases where sales had been-com pleted, proceedings on notices to quit and evictions had taken place en such estates since such date : and whether it was not desirable that some steps should be taken to suspend the continuance of sales under the court of the above-named acts, until the Irish Land Bill, now before Parliament, became law, in consequence of the hardships experience had shewn evictions under the causes above referred to have brought on the tenants holding under estasestldby the Encumbered Estates Court. FORTESCUE thought upon the whole there was no r eason for special t h ought p in the matter. caIIRCHES IN SCOTLAND. Mr. PICE nem, asked the Lord Advocate whether he intended during the present session to appoint a Select Committee to inquire into the incidence of taxation in Scotland for the building and repairing of churches and manses, and for providing and enlarging glebes. The Lola) ADvocATB said he hoped and believed he should be able to procure satisfactory information on the subiect. VAGRANTS. Lord GEORGE HAMILTON asked the president of the Poor Law Board whether there was any reason why the number of vagrants relieved in the casual wards of the metropolis should not be reported with the other weekly returns of paupers in the metropolis. Mr. GOSCHEN, replied that the returns were made in different forms, and that was the reason they were not published. • THE MARY LOWELL. Mr. BENTINcK asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he would state the result of the communications addressed to the Spanish Government with reference to the alleged seizure of the American brig Mary Lowell by a Spanish ship of war in British water s on the 15th of March 18G9, and lay upon the table copies of the correspondence which had taken place upon the subject. Mr. ()TWAY replied that the correspondence was incom plete, and therefore he was not able to lay it upon the table. The Government had been advised that the yessej wfilmininclialiritiekrotobk LOTTERIES. Mr. CHARLEY asked the Chief Scretary for Ireland, t, gat thk: C oTrzrnroent had taken, or intended to take for the prevention of an illegal lottery, the tickets for which were headed "St. Clare's Female Orphanage," Harold's Cross, Dublin, and the drawing of the prizes of which was announced to take place on the 17th and 18th instant. Mr. C. Fo RTESCUE said it had been deckled by all former Governments not to interfere with these distri butions, and, therefore, he did not propose to take a different course to' that already adopted. CADETS AT SANDHURST. Mr. WHALLEY asked the Secretary of State for War what arrangements were proposed for meeting the claims of those who, as sons of distinuuished officers in the Queen's and Indian Service, would in the ordinary course have been nominated to cadetships at Sandhurst, with the ad vantages of a free education and a commission in the army without purchase, under the eireumstrnees of that College having been closed since June, 1869, to further admissions, pursuant to the report of the Royal Commis sion on Military Education. Mr. CARDWELL said that the motion had been under the consideration of the Horse Guards and the India Office, and he hoped to be able to lay a report of the conditions on the table of the House in the course of a few days. CHINA. Colonel SYKES asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Aff airs, as it appears from despatches published in the North China Daily News, that the French Charge d'Affaires, M. Rochefort, in a personal interview with " Ma," the Viceroy of Nankin had obtained ample redres for the late outrage by the Literati at Ngan-king upon French missionaries, and a grant of a plot of land within the walls of Ngan-king for a church and mission -house, whether Sir Rutherford Alcock in his personal interview with " Ma," the Viceroy has obtained equivalent redress for the outrage by the Literati upon English Missionaries in Ngan-king. Mr. OTwAY said with respect to the first question, he had no information. With respect to the other part of the question, it appeared that two missionaries had established their mission-hotse in a part of the town that they had no right to occupp, and a quarrel toek place in consequence. The missionaries had afterwards received compensation for the injuries they had sustained, and there w 4. no occasion for Sir R. Alcock to apply to the authorities. W ith respect to the other pith of the question, he haa rio positive infor mation. ' 4,, f° 4 • THE POLICE.' : t I'ICYN asked the Secretor); 4 State for the Home Depaalmcnt if Sergeant George Lewis, 1 B, Stephen 91 13,' and Daniel BUrden, 363 B, who were fined by Mr. Arnold, the police magistrate, on 4th- June, 1868, for having been guilty of stating falsehoods on oath, and that he had come to the con clusion that on the one side of the police lay the perjury, where the above-named policemen were still retained in the force. Mr. BRUCE said the police were not charged with perjury, but neglect of duty. After a full inquiry it was not thought necessary to dismiss them from the force. EDUCATION. In reply to Mr. Rains, Mr. FORSTER said the provisions of the Revised Code of course would have to be reconsidered if the bill passed, which he hoped it would. With respect to new schools that might be built, they would be wholly under the con trol of the local boards, unless they were asked to inter fere. STATE OF IRELAND. Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Mr. Disraeli, said the amendments he proposed to adopt in the Irish Land Bill he would lay on the table on Thursday next. With regard to the measures about to be taken with respect to the state of Ireland, he might say that on Thursday next his right hon. friend the Secretary for Ireland would ask for leave to introduce a bill to improve the securities for the maintenance of 'life in Ireland. It would be an amendment of the Pe: Preservation Act of 1856, and if would embrce some of the provisions of the Act of 1847, and also that of Earl Grey in 1833. The bill would not in any case go the length of proposing a sus pension of personal liberty,- neither would it enact the trial by courts martial, although it would con tain a proviso for the trial of persons without juries. It would act against party proceeaings, the pos sessions of arms and gunpowder; it would give •control over persons moving abovt by night, give com pensation to those persons who might receive infuries, and give the Government further power to obtain evidence. The enactment would be for a limited time, and it would only take effect in districts that might be proclaimed by the Lord Lieutenant. Over and above that there would be a proviso given of repressing offences against public order by the press, and the measure mould give the Government more power on that subject than they at present possessed. THE NEW ARMY REGULATIONS. Mr. CARDWELL made a statement with respect to the purchase and sales of commissions in the army, and the excess of regulation prices. The right hon. gentleman was understood to withdraw his original proposition, and he stated that it was the intention of the Government to submit the whole subject to a Royal Commission. CAPTAIN COOTE. Viscount CRICHTON then rose and called the attention of the House to the circumstances connected with the dismissal of Captain Coote from the Shrievalty of the county of Monaghan and the appointment of his successor, and moved that in the opinion of this House the conduct of the Government in the dismissal of Captain Coote and the appointment of his successor has been unconstitutional and calculated to impede the due performance of public duty. His lordship at great length went into the law bearing on the subject, shewing the law and usage in England, and asking how far the same was applicable to Ireland. How the Government could justify its departure from the ordi nary mode of proceeding, except by the exceptional legis lation which characterised its dealings with Ireland, he was unable to discover. He characterised the way in which Government dealt with such matters 'as a solemn farce. ile believed that the appointment of Captain Cooto's suc 3essor was unconstitutional, and he had brought the case forward because he thought a great injustice had been lone. Colonel LESLIZ seconded the motion. Mr. C. FORTES= said he could not agree with many A the observations which had been made on this subject. rue steps that had been taken he was quite aware were aot in accordance with the law in Ireland, but they had oeen taken in accordance with a wholesome and beneficial practice, which had existed for some time. He admitted that except is special cases, or under good reasons for the public service, this practice should not be followed, but I scenes had taken place in Monaghan, which fully justified the course which it had oeen thought proper to adopt. Monaghan had been long the scene of painful conflicts and eontests between lumen Catholics and Protestants, and in ISG6, to go no further back, there was a general election, and such a state of riot that it resulted in a Roman Catholic being shot. A Protestant was charged with the crime and put on his trial, and ac pitted, the jurymen being Protestants. He lid not mean to say that the acquittal was not right. In 1868 there were again the same scenes to Monaghan on the occasion of the Orange anniversaries, out on that occasion they were rather worse than usual, And he could call the state of affairs that then existed dttle less than civil war. On that occasion another riot took place, and life was lost, the unfortunate victim oeing again a Roman Catholic, and after that I A um para 4 Dalai was tried, and the result was A'l ae:iCattai ; and here, again, he dui not mean to say that the termination of that trial was not right, but verdict of the jury was questioned. It thus happened 671 at the jury panel was inquired into when it was found that the sub-sheriff had made a most partial select 6ioli of Protestants in preference to Roman Catholics. The circumstance led to his having to communicate with Captain Coote, the High Sheriff. It was most important that the constitution of the jury panel should be above suspicion. A man, named M'Kenna, ivas afterwards indicted for the murder of a man named Clark, and, owing to some proceedings on the part of the sub-sheriff, the result was that he had to request that he (the High Sheriff) would appoint a new sub-sheriff XIS it was absolutely necessary that there should be no feeling that fairness was not extended to Roman Catnolics. This Captain Coole refused to do, and then it became necessary again to select a jury panel. Again, the partiality for Protestants over Roman Catholics was so apparent that the high sheriff had to be again communicated with, and as he still refused the Lord-Lieutenant thought it his duty to remove Captain Coote, and Mr. Langdale was appointed his suc cessor. The Government felt they had acted throughout the matter in the way best calculated to promote the public good, and therefore he Locd the house would not agree to the resolution of the noble lord. Mr. G. H. MooRE condemned the conduct of the Govern ment in reference to the dismissal from the shrievalty of Japtain Coote. Mr. C. BENTINCK supported the motion. Mr. G. HARDY thought that Captain Coote had acted in a perfectly straightforward way; and having appealed to the judge who tried Mackenna's case, he had been treated in a most unfair, unjust, illegal, and harsh manner. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for IRELAND vindicated the conduct of tho Government in dismissing the Sheriff of Monaghan. It was an act of fair and impartial justice. After some further discussion—mainly confined to the Irish members—the House divided, and the motion was re jected by to 113 votes. On the order of the day for the second reading of the Elementary Education Bill, Mr. Dixos moved a resolution to the effect that no such measure would afford a satisfactory or permanent settlement which left the question of religious instruction in schools, supported by public funds and rates, to be determined by local authorities. He complained strongly of the provisions of the bill, and stated that a feeling of deep disappointment would pervade the country if the Government did not make a declaration on the religious difficulty. Mr. ILLINGWOItTH seconded the motion. Mr. W. E. FORSTER, in vindicating the provisions of the bill, stated that a rate of 3d. in the pound would be sufficient to work the present bill. In England alone such a tax would produce something like a million and a quarter per annum; and thus the actual individual burden would be almost infinitesimal. By the present measure, if the majority desired a secular school, a secular school they would have; and as to any attempt at compulsory religious training, such a course was the plainest and shortest way to exanguish all religion. He expressed himself strongly in favour of the reading of the Bible in schools, and although opposed to the directly denominational system he would keep it up where it already existed. He would, how ever, leave the school beards constituted under the act to decide the matter in reference to the now schools. Mr. WINTERBOTHAM proposed the adjournment of the debate, and after some conversation The motion was agreed to, and the discussion will be re sumed to-morrow (this day). The House went into Committee of Supply, and Mr. FTANSFELD was allowed to take sundry Civil Service Esti maks (Excesses) and Itevenu9 Departments Excesses. The remaining orders were disposed of pro firnm, and the House adjourned. THE LATE M. DE MONTALEMBERT. The death of M. de Montalembert will be a great los ti literature, as for nearly thirty years he filled a higl place in the opinion of the public as a writer and m orator. He was born in London in 1810. Hi, father, Marc Mild, Count de Montalembert, hat been in the army of Conde, and later on was ambassada at Stockholm. At the age of 18 Charles Monts'ember formed an intimate acquaintance with the Abbe Lamenais and shared his opinions concerning the alliance betweez Catholicism and liberty. ,In 1831 he opened a free schou in conjunction with Lacordaire, but he was summoner before the Correctional Police for having taken part in the affair. During the course of the trial his father died, ant Montalembert became a peer of France. He claimed hi , right to be heard before the higher Chamber, of which hs had become a member, and conducted his own defence in a speech which gave promise of his future eminence. He was condemned to pay a fine for having taught without official permission. When he took his seat in the Chsmbct his first speech was against restricting the liberty of the press, and it brought hi m i n t o co lli s i on w i t h t h e Minis try. Montalembert with Lamenais and Lacordaire started a journal, the Avenir, to give expression to their peculiar views of Catholicism and Democracy, and they took a journey to Rome to plead their cause m person, as their extreme opinions were not well received there. After some delay the doctrines 'which Lamenais exaggerated were reprobated by Gregory XVI. in the Encyclical of June, 1835, as they had been three years before. Lacor daire and Montalembert submitted to the judgment of th Pope ; but Lameuais revolted, and from that day all intercourse ceased between him and his two friends. Monts lembert—the first of his race, as he more than once said, whose weapon was the pen—betook himself, with charac teristic ardour and perseverance, to study the ideas and manners of the middle ages, which always had a great charm for him. He delivered some celebrated speeches in the Chamber of Peers on the liberty of the Church, the liberty of instruction, and the liberty of the monastic orders, during the course of which he declared th a t th e sons of the Crusaders should never give way before the sons of Voltaire. He predicted the fall of the Orleans monarchy, and said that the triumph of Radicalism was inevitable, and the conse quence would be the loss of French liberty. In 1851 Montalembert frequently voted against his own party in defence of the President, because he thought the latter was unfairly attacked. In 1852 he was elected to the French Academy in place of M. Droz.. His address, which was replied to by M. Guizot, was an eloquent eulogy• on his predecessor and as eloquent as invective against the revolution. I'n 1854 a confidential letter which he wrote to M.

In the general elections of 1857 Montalcmbert, who was now looked upon as the declared adversary of the Empire, was defeated in his own department. This defeat closed his parliamentary career. He pub lished an article in praise of English institutions, which was in reality a satire on those of France, and for this he was prosecuted on the usual ground of having used lan guage tending to excite hatred against the Imperial insti tutions, bringing the laws int o con t em pt, an d attacking the rights which the Constitution had conferred upon the Sovereign.

He had been a great sufferer for five years, and had given up all hopes of a permanent cure, but he bore his long illness with great fortitude.

One of his most famous works was "The Monks of the West." During his last days , he wrote a protest against the proposition of the dogma of Infallibility, which will now possess a peculiar interest as the latest effort of his genius and public spirit.

A collier, who has been in the habit of Mop ing a cask of gunpowder under his bed, was removing some of the explosive material when a spark ignited it.
