Offices—ROYAL 'EXCHANGE, London. Branch Office-29, Pall Mall, S.W. IMPERIAL PARLIAMEN T. rather call it an interference with the licence et the Press. Although the powers were excessive, yet the respons;- bility rested upon the Government ; and if they had found the present law inefficient, he was not prepared to vote azainst the bill. work and one tha't wound not work. As t 6 the verdicts for seditious libel, the case was a different one. Verdicts had been obtained, and might be obtained, but there was con siderable uncertainty ; but still granting that they might be obtained, the punishment was insufficient for the prevention of the offence. He thought his hon. friend, in moving the omission of the word sedition, was not aware that in the view of Government he was making a motion which was equivalent to putting a negative upon the clause. He (the hon. member) thought it was an im provement in the clause, and he was perfectly entitled ta. take that view if he thought fit. He (Mr. Gladstone) dip not deny that there were many things to be urged' in support of that view, but it was only fair to the House and to the hon. gentleman the view which Government took of the clause. The debate had covered the whole field of the general prin ciples of the clause. The clause without the word sedi tious could not, in the judgment of the law officers, be made to work. The House had heard the character of the articles published, and specimens might have been multiplied, but they all belonged to one and the same class of writing, that ought to be permitted. If it ought not to be permitted, it was then in vain to put it down by mere prosecution for seditious ; libel, which ended in the imprisonment of the writer, and in his continuing the production of his articles often while he was in prison. But if, on the other hand, the Govern ment limited their demands for extraordinary powers to treason only, it would be impossible almost, according to the unanimous judgment of those who were re sponsible, and those who had been responsible for the enforcing of the law in Ireland to obtain any of those verdicts for treason-felony, by means of which alone any effectual corrective could be applied. He wished these statements to be as clearly and as distinctly understood as possible, because itwas not at all in the spirit of fastidious pride, or any indisposition to accept, were it sufficient for the purpose what any portion of the House might be disposed to give. It was impossible to reconcile the views of the Government with those of his hon. friend, or they gladly would have done so. But looking at the enactments as enactments intended to take practical effect in their solemn and deliberate judgment, supported, he might fairly say, in the debate on the pre vious night by legal authorities independent of Govern mat, to which it was impossible to attach too much weignt, and which had not been contradicted from any quarter, the effect of the omission of the words "or seditious " would be so to maim and muti late [the clause that it would lose its vital principle ; they would be a mere parade of extra ordinary power without the possibility of carrying it into effectual execution. It would be impossible for the Government to regard the motion of his hon. friend as anything, but practically one which was of a nature to destroy all that portion of the bill. (Applause.) Mr. NEWDEGATE supported the amendment of the right hon. member for Kilmarnock. HOUSE - OF LORDS.—FitIDAY. Tle Lord Chancellor took his seat on the woolsack at five 'o'clock. _ _ Lord CHELMSFORD presented a petition from the Incorporated Society of Attorneys and Solicitors, com plaining of the refusal of the benchers of King's Inn to give a return of certain fees imposed by that body upon persons admitted to the profession of an attorney or solicitor, The noble and learned lord gave notice of his intention to make a motion on the subject, with a view, producing the effect desired by the petitioners. THE NEW PALACE AT WESTMINSTER. Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE agreed that when the Govern ment came to the House and told them that it could not take upon itself the preservation of life and property without having extraordinary measures, the House was bound to consider the bill with attention. At the same time, he did not think that those members who had op posed the measure ought to be sneered at. On the con trary, the House ought to be grateful to them for preser ving the forms of discussion. The hon. member saki it was an extraordinary thing to combine with a bill to sup press agrarian crime a clause for pulling down the liberty of the press. He granted that the press of Ireland was in a defective state, but he denied that there was any necessary connection b etwe en agrarian crime and political disaffection. They had heard some discussion about Fenianism, and it had been jeered at ; but it did not do to disregard it be cause it was a disease which he was afraid they would find chronic in Ireland. It had existed for years. At one time it assumed the form of United Irishmen; then, again, it came out as Irish Volunteers; and so it would come forth again and again, and Fenianism had been well described by a clever writer as nationality run mad. (Hear, hear.) If the Government wished to govern Ireland successfully and well, they must do it from an Irish, and not an English, point. They must give up their English notions, because as long as they attempted to do it, entertaining those notions they woufd invariably fail. (Hear.) Let them get rid of the Lord-Lieutenant—(hear, hear),—give them a reality of government instead of a sham. (Hear, hear.) A rich nobleman was selected to fill the office, and sent to Ireland, but what did he know of the feelings of the people or the country? (Hear, hear.) Though that ap heated to be a qualificatidii, that Niras nbt thought necessary, but as long as he supported his re'..'l dignity with becoming style that appeared to be sufficient. As long ad the Government pursued that course there would always be discontent. He, for one, should not object td take the Imperial Parliament to Ireland—(cheers)—let it sit there for a time, it would gee what the country was, and then they would not be so anxious to pass such bills- as that now before the House. He give his vote in favour of the amendment moved by the tight hon. member for Richmond (Mr. Bouverie) and he hoped a great many gentlemen would be found in the Same lobby with him. (Cheers).

To be issued at £BO. TRUSTEES. The Right Hon. Lord Westbury. Lord Eustace Cecil, ➢I.P. Geo. Wodehouse Currie, Esq. G. M. W. Sandford, Esq. Philip Rose, Esq. ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS. The success of the Foreign and Colonial Government Trust, which was formed in May, 1868, has called for an extension of this mode of investment. 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 £ICO, 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 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 portion of the extra interest and the amounts received in redemption as a Sinking Fund to pay off the origiaal capital ; and, in addition, to give to each Sub uriber 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 the 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 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 ( o. half yearly, on the 15th of January and the 15th of .Tuly, the first Coupon for the proportion of the half year falling due on the 15th July next. lu 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: • ..... v l. interest at £6s. bs. per cent, on the :amount sub scribed. 2. A bonus of £2O per cent. by the repayment of capi tal at par. 3. A revel sion, eventually divisible among the holders of the Coupons of Reversion.

'A - requisition was in course of signature yesterday among the members of the Cork Chamber of Commerce calling upon the Mayor to convene a public meeting of citizens in order to testify their appreciation of Mr. Maguire's action on the Peace Preservation Bill. The requisition has already been numerously signed. _ RUGBY SCHOOL. In reply to an appeal from Sir S. Northeote, Mr. BRAND said he was quite willing to postpone bring ing forward his motion, so as to allow the Public School Commissioners an opportunity of more fully considering the objections which had been taken to the statutes with regard to the governing body of Rugby, provided he had an assurance from the Government that he should have an opportunity of renewing the motion in the event of no satisfactory settlement being arrived at by the Public School Commissioners. Mr. FORSTER said a full opportunity would be given to the right hon. gentleman to proceed if he should think it necessary to do so. PUNISHING CHILDREN. Mr. GRAHAM asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether his attention had been called to the case of Alexander Gillespie, a boy of ten years of age, who had been committed as a vagrant to the Rottenrow Indus trial School, Glasgow, although innocent of any crime, and being atthe time resident in the home of his parents ; whether it had been brought to his notice that such com mittal took place summarily, and without his parents being even aware that the child was in the hands of the police ; and whether he would not, under the circumstances, exer cise the power conferred upon him by the Industrial Schools Act, and order the restoration of the boy to his parents, who, although in humble circumstances, are respectable persons, and able and willing to maintain and educate him ? Mr. BRUCE said the hon. member had been altogether misinformed. The boy was taken up on a charge of being about to commit a robbery, and his parents were made acquainted with the circumstances, and told to attend at the police-court. They did not, and the boy pleaded guilty, and was without being convicted sent, under the 15th Soction of the Industrial Schools Act to a reforma tory. The magistrate had the power to alter the sen tences upon proper representation being made to him. PEACE PRESERVATION (IRELAND) BILL. The House then went into committee on the bill. The consideration of the measure was resumed on Clause 27, the subject before the chair being whether the word " seditious " should be left out of the clause which gave the power of suppressing newspapers publishing treason able or seditious matter. Mr. MOORE objected altogether to the clause, and re ferring to what took place last night, he said he was quite certain the opinion of the minority last night represented the feelings of millions in Ireland, whose feelings it would be dangerous to despise. All other parts of the bill than those under discussion he looked upon as pretences, and the enactment to protect lives he thought merely a stalking horse. Before the Government called upon the House to pass such a clause as that now under discussion they ought to shew that the press was in collusion with those who were acting in defiance of the law. The National press only expressed the feelings of the National party in Ireland, and he should most strenu ously object to have that party associated with murderers and robbers. The SOLICITOR GENERAL for IRELAND defended the clause. The House last night had decided that the word " treasonable " should remain, and now they were engaged in considering whether the word seditious should remain in the clause, he thought it absolutely necessary that it should. In fact he looked upon it as of more importance than the word "treasonable," and he would rather leave that out than omit the word "seditious." It would give the Government the power of dealing with a certain class of offences ; but that power, he could assure the House, would never be exercised unless the Government were called upon to do so. The hon. and learned gentleman then read extracts from a certain Irish newspaper to shew exactly the sort of productions the clause would affect. Mr. MuNTz said he objected to clauses, and, in fact, to a ll bills like the present ; but it appeared to be necessary for the protection of life and property, which was looked upon by all as the first duty of Parliament. He did not like bills that were said to be merely tempo rary, as actual experience had shewn that where a bill had been passed merely for the year, it had been renewed again and again until it became, in effect, a per manent measure. He did not think much of the provision that the bill was only for the year ; he was afraid he should see it renewed again and again, and that it would become a model bill for England. Mr. COGAN confessed that he would not take upon him self to give a definition of sedition, and so far as he could he would endeavour to prevent the arrival of the day when it would be left to an individual minister, no matter how able he might be, to decide what sedition was. He believed that if the clause were adopted without the word " sedition," it would enable the Government to deal promptly and effectually with writings of a treasonable nature, or which incited to murder, or the committing of felony. He regretted that the exceptional circumstances of Ireland required such a clause, but he thought they ought not to give the Government greater powers with reference to the press. Mr. McMAHoN said it was clear that if the bill passed as it stood, the Government would really seize property in Ireland for acts which were not offences against the existing law, He thought the Government should define what sedition was, inasmuch as the Solicitor-General had said that they would have no difficulty in the matter. Mr. W. JOHNSTON supported the amendment. Lord ELcHo thought the powers sought by the Govern ment were not only excessive, but such as no Government in any coercive bill had ever asked for before. The argu ment against the exercise of the power was that it was a question involving the liberty of the Press, but he would Mr. C. PORTESCUE said the Government were most anxious to govern Ireland in every way as peacefully as they did England, and he contended that in all they had done hitherto that desire was apparent. He denied that there had been any delay in the Govern ment introducing the bill, but before the stringent powers the bill gave were asked of Parliament they were anxious that every means in their power for meeting the emer gency should be tried. (Hear, hear). That had been done, and it now became necessary to ask the House to strengthen the hands of the Government. He denied that Government had been dilatory in prosecuting news papers for certain articles that had been published, but as soon as it was thought the time for repressive measures being taken had arrived, that moment the Government had come to Parliament. The right hon. gentle man then read extracts from a charge of Judge Deasy, with the view of shewing what a newspaper might do, and yet be within the law ; also what it might not do to keep without the charge of sedition. As the discussion on the clause had taken rather a wide range, he would state two of the most important changes that the Govern. ment proposed to make in the bill. In the clause following the present. there were words of a prohibitory nature " having a tendency, &c." to create sedition. The proposed was to frame such an alteration as to enable them to omit the words " having a tendency, &c." (Hear, hear.) The other alteration was that in case the Government were called upon to put the Act in operation against any news paper, it would be necessarry on the part of the Govern ment to give that paper one warning of the intentions of the Government. (Hear.) He did not think that either of the alterations proposed would at all weaken the powers of the bill. It had been proposed by some hon. members that three warnings should be given. That proposal he could not accept, but he hoped that the House would be willing to accept his proposal of the warning before the Act was put in force. (Hear, hear.) Sir Jam GRAY deprecated any interference with the reedom of the press. He did not think that the printer or publisher of a journal was entitled to any special privilege save and except that the press represented public opinion, the freedom of which it was essential to maintain. He asked whether Government had instituted a single Prosecution for sedition in Ireland and failed, thus justi fying them in asking for such extraordinary powers. He nstanced three cases out of four in which the Government obtained convictions against the offenders, Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Martin being transported The question was not what Press laws they should adopt, but whether it was right to give the executive of Ireland such powers. The bill, in fact, proposed to give to three or four gentlemen up at the Castle, who formed a sort of Star Chamber, the absolute power of clutching the whole Press of Ireland. He contended that it was the right of the people to complain of bad laws through the Press, and to use every necessary step to get rid of them. Lord JOHN MANNERS observed that the late Government had to encounter a far more serious state of affairs in Ire land than had the present Government, and yet they did not feel it their duty to apply to Parliament for powers of this exceptional character. On the contrary, they were content to put into effect the law as they found it. If the powers were necessary, it was the necessary conse quence of the bungling policy and language of her Majesty's Government. Mr. GLADSTONE complained that the noble lord who had just sat down could not afford to lose the smallest opportunity of importing party spirit into the debates. He could not accept the speech as an indication of the spirit which prevailed, on the other side of the House, because he was bound to say that a perfectly different spirit had been manifested from that quarter. (Applause.) But as the noble lord thought fit to refer to matters that happened before the period of peace and content, which prevailed without ex traordinary powers being exercised, at an epoch to which he referred, perhaps ho (Mr. Gladstone) might be allowed to remind his ,lordship of that which he seemed altogether to have forgotten. He never had any share in the government of Ireland during the existence of the late administration, aided only by the ordinary forms of law, but that the extreme measure of suspending the constitution was in force at the period to which, with such singular good taste and propriety, the noble lord had referred. (Applause.) There were two things which he would answer to draw the attention of the House The first was this. His hon. friend, the member for Kilkenny, had fairly grappled the question, and he had said " Don't ask for these extraordinary powers, because I will shew you are able to obtain verdicts for treason felony. And if you have not obtained them, and if you have not prosecuted under the existing law, that is your fault, and not the fault of the law." And his hon. friend in proof of his allegations, quoted certain verdicts, which were obtained for treason-felony, in 1843. That was perfectly true. Three verdicts were obtained : one prosecution failed. Failure of political prosecutions was, he thought, a very much more serious matter than his hon. friend seemed to think. And to attempt to insti -1 tute a comparison between failure of prosecutions brought by the Government, and failures of prosecutions in the ordinary prosecution of justice, was an illustration quite fallacious. The law officers of that period considered that the articles which were then published did afford grounds for a verdict, and he believed anyone referring to them would find that they contem plated measures of armed rebellion. But that was just the element that was wanted in the articles now pub lished. They were articles which threw the people into a treasonable attitude of mind, and they recommended treasonable doctrine ; they taught the people to expect rebellion, to prepare for rebellion ; they taught them to take part in it when it came. But that was precisely the difference, and in the judgment of the present law officer of the Crown, and the former law officess as well, it made the essential difference between ,a law that wou4l. Mr. G. fDEN3rArr said he came to the house that day with a desire to support the Government in passing the most stringent law for the protection of life and property in Ireland ; but the Honse was now called upon to pass a bill enabling the Government to take and seize any news paper that might publish seditious matter. He candidly confessed that he did not know what sedi tion meant, or still more difficult would it he for him to say what it did not mean. (Hear, hear). He knew of plenty of cases where prosecutions had taken place, but then it Was so extremely difficult to define what was not seditious that any person might if it was de sired, be accused of such an offence, although all he had done might be committed innocently patrioti cally, and from pure love of country. He for one could not consent to give any Government the power con ferred by the clause as it stood, and although it would be with regret that he should vote against the Government on the present occasion, yet he felt it is duty to do so. He, however, hoped it would be unnecessary for him to go into the Opposing lobby, but that the Government would consent to give up the word. (Hear, hear.) Such a concession would be looked upon elsewhere most favour ably, and, he felt, would produce an effect that would greatly strengthen the hands of the Government in repress ing crime and outrage. (Cheers.) Mr. CLAY said he should, without the slightest hesita tion, give to Government the power they asked for, feeling quite safe that they would not abuse it. The House then divided on the question that the words " orseditious " stand part of the clause : 't Ayes ..:, Noes .. ' ' 56 Majority On the motion of the SOLICITOR-GENERAL for IRELAND, the words " having a tendency to encourage or propagate" were omitted, to insert the words " encouraging or propa•' gating." Mr. DOWNING then moved a further amendment to the clause, the object of which was to make it incumbent 04 . the Lord-Lieutenant to institute criminal proceedingi against the proprietor before the provisions of the present Act were put in force. The hon. gentleman referred to a. copy of the Tomahawk, which contained two engravings, one a landlord evicting a tenant, and the other the tenant shooting the landlord from behind a hedge, and said he should like to know whether such a publication would be allowed in Dublin. The SOLICITOII-GENERAL; for IRELAND opposed the amendment, as he asserted it would alter the entire frame work of the bill. Ho therefore hoped the House would not consent to the proposed amendment, which, he said. was a piece of parliamentary patchwork. Sir JOHN GRAY said the hon. and learned member had not answered the question of the hon. member. The amendment was negatived without a division. Mr. M`MAnoic then moved an amendment to except " engines, machines, and other plant" from the operation 4 of the bill. Sir JOHN GRAY said there were large establishments is Manchester, and other places where the printing : of a certain newspaper was merely contracted for, and nothing done with respect to editing or getting the content of the paper together. He wanted to know whether OA whole of this large proi.erty was to be seized for merely: performing the mechanical portion of the production of a, newspaper. Some provision ought to be introduced to' prevent such a proceeding. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said all the machinery and plant seized would be kepi in perfect repair and conditiq pending any action with respect to ownership; ' It' The amendment was negatived. On the motion for the clause as amended standing park of the bill, Mr. MAGUIRE moved its rejection. tVst" f • Mr. CHARLEY seconded the amendment, believing that, if the clause became law, it would place in the hands of: the Chief Secretary for Ireland the power of punishinfe free discussion. rte The House divided, when there appeared a majority ot 22G for the retaining of the clause. . • The sitting of the House was then suspended until 144A' o'clock. At a quarter to seven the sitting was suspended. On resuming at nine o'clock, the House again proceeded to the consideration of the Peace Preservation (Ireland) Bill, and the remaining clauses, after some discussion, and with trivial amendments, were agreed to One item de serves notice. Mr. Maguire introduced a new clause pro viding that in the case of " seditious" newspapers in Ireland the Lord-Lieutenant should give tc the proprietors three warnings instead of one " warning," as provided by the bill; and after a wordy discussion a division took place, when the proposal of the hon. member for Ucrk was nega tived by 103 to 18 votes. The schedules were brought up and agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be reported to-morrow (this day.) At this stage of the sitting (one o'clock), Sir T. E. MAY (the second clerk at the table) informed the House with regret that Mr. Speaker, from indisposition, would be unable to resume his seat. Accordingly Mr. Dodson, as Deputy-Speaker, took the chair. Mr. Secretary BurcE, seeing the late hour of the clock, postponed his promised statement on bringing in a bill to amend the law for licensing the sale of exciseable liquors until the 12th of April. _ _ The remaining business was formally disposed of, and the House adjourned.
