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 secaud issue not exceeding £600,000, in Certificates of £I.CO, 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 tie 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 original capital ; and, in addition, to give to each Sub -xiber a Pro rata participation iu 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 largo 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 p.dd off, after wWch 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 £lOl with Coupous attached, bearing 5 per cent. interest, payable at the 11;inking-house of Messrs. Glyn, Mills, Currie, awn' e. half yearly, on the 15th of January and the 15th of July, the first Ounpon for the proportion of the half year falling due . on the 15th July neat. 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 wid 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 bo summed up as follows; • 1. interest at £Gs. 58. 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 t he Coupons of Reversion. Application to be made in the annex ~ :d Form, accom panied by a di-posit 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 Witipany) a THEATRE, WINTER GARDEN, RESTAURANT, and MERCANTILE CLUB. THE THEATRE will be one of the mot 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 is 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.] TIM WINTER GARDEN will surround the auditorium, stocked with the choicest plants, adorned with statuary and ornamental fountains, and will be ayaibible fur all visitors except those in the galler.y. 13.7.1ar stalls for the sale of fa iwy art:c'es and refreshment bars trill hi placed in cot von ient recesses. THE' GIIAND CIRCLE will have an exclusive entrance front Leicester.

Attached to this part of the building will be spacious ill LLIARD-ROOMS, with FRENCH. and ENGLISR tables. THE MERCANTILE SUBSCRIPTION CLUB, SO much required in London, and for the successful carrying out of which the directors have already secured the co-operation of many of the leading and most influential firths 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 Lon on, the directors confidently anticipate payingthe 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 five 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. ‘,..11• A M 'ANAIM FREE 'HOSPITAL 'for WOMEN L . :l , und CaILDREN, Lower Seymour-street, Portman-square.

Mr. STANSFELD said the appropriation accounts had been laid on the table ; the other civil service estimates would not be ready for the next ten days. LOCAL GOVERNMENT. Mr. PIM askel the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he was awara of the inconvenience and expense to which the inhabitants of cities and towns in Ireland are fre quently obliged Ito submit for, want of legislation analo gous to "The Local Government Act, 1833," and " The General Police and Improvement (Scotland) Act, 1862," and whether he intended in accordance with the promise made by Lord Mayo on the 26th of March, and on the 29th of June, 1868, to introduce a bill for extend ing- to Ireland the benefit; secured to England and Scot land by these Acts. Mr. Fortescue said a bill on the subject was in prepara tion, and would be introduced after Easter. GLASGOW GAS BILL.

THE YEOMANRY. 3 1 -KS BzorroDp.. ?Ad the sccretgy of State for War. plied in the workshops now established in several of the prisons in England, where the manufacture of various articles was carried on or in any of them ; and, if it be true that the goods, or any of them, so manufactured or hand made, are sold below the ordinary market price,. thus competing unfairly with free labour. Mr. BRUCE said in Wakefield it was true that there was a steam machine ; but the articles made by it were not said below the market price. In other towns the articles manufactured were sold to Government. EXPULSION OF MISSIONARIES. Mr. JAMES WHITE asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he had received any official informasion as to the correctness or otherwise of the statements in the London and China Telegraph of the 7th and 14th instant of the expulsion by the Japanese autho- rities of the native Christians from the treaty port of Nagasaki. Mr. °TWAY said the statement, he regretted to say, was correct, and steps had been taken to prevent the occur- rence. The subject was still under consideration, with a view of determining the best steps to be taken. ON LEASES. Mr. Pier asked the First Lord of the Treasury if he had considered whether it would not be right, with a view of encouraging the leasing of land in Ireland, to reduce the Stamp Duty on all leases under the Irish Land Bill to a uniform sum, say Is, and further to take means under the Act to lessen the cost of leases in other respects. Mr. GLADSTONE said the Chancellor of the Exchequer was considering the subject, but he doubted whether it would be possible to reduce the stamp duty on leases as low as the sum mentioned. TN F, LICENSING BILL. Sir ROBERT ANSTRUTHER asked the Secretary of State for the Home Deportment whether he anticipated being able to proceed with the Licensing Bill before the Easter recess. Mr. BRUCE said he should place the licennce bill on the table that day week, when he would endeavour' to fia a day on which he would proceed. DOCKYARD WORKMEN. Mr. MORRISON asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the Government had power to commute the super annuation allowance of workmen discharged from the dockyards for a lump sum, to enable such workmen to emigrate. Mr. STANSFELD said the Treasury had, under its consti tution, power to do so, but it had been thought unde sirable to exercise it. The Admiralty would consider all cases that might be sent to them. REGENT'S PARK. Mr. PLIMSOLL asked the Chief Commissioner of Works whether it was his intention to enclose the whole of the Regent's Park with a railing similar to that recently erected on the south-east corner of it ; or whether he did not think that a less lofty and ponderous structure, which would not exclude the view of the park from the people passing on the exterior of the railing, would not be pre ferable. Mr. AYRTON said it was not intended to extend the railing in question, as the inhabitants objected to them as obstructing the view of the park from the windows. THE IRISH MAGISTRACY. Mr. CALLAN asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether, in view of the large and increased powers pro posed to be given to magistrates presiding at reLty sesions in Ireland under the Peace Preservation (Ireland) Bill, the Government had taken into consideration the present constitution of the Irish magistracy. And whether the Government considered the mode of nominating to and the constitution cf that body satisfactory; and, if not , were the Government prepared to take immediately all the neeessary measures to revise the list and the mode of appointment, so as to secure for that body the respect and confidence of the Irish people. Mr. C. FOaTESCUE said the question raised the whole constitution of the unpaid magistracy, and he was not prepared to say that the course poid'ed out by the hon. member would be taken. WASTE LANDS. Mr. JAMES HOWARD asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether it was the intention of Her Majesty's Government to rely upon the operation of clause 40 (Irish tLand Bill) for the reclamation of the water-logged valleys and the waste lands of Ireland. Mr. GLADSTONE replied that Government would look to the operation of clause 40, for the reclamation of the waterlogged valleys and the waste lands. With regard to the clause, not including proper provision for it, that would be a matter for future consideration. ENLISTMENT. , Uolonel CHARLES LINDSAY asked the Secretary of tate for War whether it was not his intention to give soldiers who enlist upon the conditions of the new scheme for re cruiting the army the option of re-engaging, by successive periods or otherwise, up to the twelve years of their en gagement, provided their characters and health are good; whether, if at the expiration of that period with the standards (provided their characters and health as sol diers are still good) they would not have the option of re engaging for 9 years rnore,according to the existing system. Mr. CARDWELL announced that when a 'soldier wished to re-engage under such circumstances, and when the authorities wished his services, he might re-engage for a period of nine years. It would not strictly speaking be a e ase of option on the part of the soldier, the option being reciprocal on both sides. With regard to the other por tion of the question, the obj ect was to incorporate them in existing battalions when emergency required. ARMY MEDICAL SCHOOL. Mr. GROVE asked the_Secretaryrof State for War, wile therifwas desirable to retain the appointment of Assistant Professors at the Army School at Netley. Mr. CARDWELL said the very great advantage had been evidenced from the arrangement. The officers employed in the Corps had been appointed by the Director-General for several years. It was not thought expedient to appoin staff-surjons for a short time. The regulations had beta made for the efficiency of the science. PUBLIC WORKS (INDIA). Mr. KIN NAIRD asked the Under Secretary of *State ior India whether the Viceroy had issued orders to stop fur ther expenditure on public works, and if such was the case whether the orders have been app roved by the Home Government. Mr. GRANT DUFF replied that no such order had becu applied by the Home Office,and none such had been issued by the viceroy. There would be no objection to lay the papers on the table.' THE PEACE PRESERVATION BILL. Mr. GLADSTONE stated that the second reading of the Peace Preservation Bill stood for Monday, and he thought it would be the opinion of the House that it was desirable to go forward with the bill with promptitude, and in case the state of the notice paper was such as to give the Go vernment the power of taking an order of the day on that evening, they would propose to take the committee on the Peace Preservation Bill on that evening, presuming it would have been read a second time on Monday. THE EDUCATILN BILL. The debate on this Bill was resumed by Mr. HARCOU RT and he in the first place referred to the religious difficulty, which he said instead of being acknowledged and dealt with had been ignored. There had been two attempts from the Treasury Benches to deal with the religious question. Both the Vice-President of the Council. and _ the Chancellor of the Exchequer had dealt with the subject, b u t i n — a manner which was unsatis factory. The Chancellor of the Exchequer understood the religious difficulty and all other subjects, but he did not care about it. The hon. member then declared that the question was to be settled by "those who both ad mitted the existence of the religious difficulty and who cared about its solution. The principle of the bill was with reference to religious education throughout the country. The character of the religious education was to be absolutely and exclusively decided ed a numerical majority in each locality. The amendment which negatived that principle, involved a positiVe prin ciple, and was the opposite. He denied that it was a question of. secularism, and the minority desired a religious education as well as the majority. It was not a question of majorities or minorities. So long as they used a fund for which all the community paid, and so long as they allowed a portion of that community to apply that fund to its own purposes, they prevented the other p4rt f rom engaging it,tney violated the principles of religious equality, an 1 acted contrary to the doctrines of political justice. In his opinion the Conscience Clause, of which they hr. I heard so much, was altogether a sham and a delusion ; it was an illogical invention to justify an indefensible systcm. ' which it was proposed to adopt if they set 11 - ) a denominational system of education. If they we e going to tax the population and apply the proceeds eeually to all, that would be a wise and acceptable provision ; but if they were going to give the rate to the majolity, that was most unfair, and the only thing then open to us was to give secular education. He objected to that portion of the bill under discussion, because it pro posed to tax all, and to allow the money to be disposed of by the dominant sect. He objected to dominant sects, in fact he objected to sects of every kind. (Hear, hear.) The bill proposed to raise money upon the whole class, and then it left it to be disposed of as he had already said, and he thought that such a course was altogether unjustifiable. The proposal in the bill to place power in the hands of local boards would be to bring into existence religious and irreligious public houses. On the election days there would be all sorts of placards exhibited. They would have " vote for Jones and the thirty-nine articles " —(laughter) ; " vote for Smith and no creeds "—(laughter) —and then there would. be religious discussions, and a good deal of religious beer.—(Loud laughter). In the afternoon there would be innumerable conversions, and the following morn ing it would be found by some that on the previous day they had held every phase of religious opinion, known to the civilized world—(loud laughter.) He ventured to say that the plan of serding out this religious difficulty to be dealt with by the Town Councils was, unworthy of the - English Parliament. The only principle upon which they could deal with it was that of religious equality. It had been said that they were delaying the Bill. It was true, because they thought the Bill waafalse in principle as far as the religious part 3va,„ concerned, and that it was impossible in practice. If they had delayed the Bill it was not with the desire of impeding the cause of education. . Sir CHARLES ADDERLEY said he should like to know what was the exact intention of .the resolution brought forward by the hon. member for Birmingham. It appeared to him to be one that was not at all clear or defined. Did it mean that the House was so agreed on all the other parts of the bill that the section in dispute was the only one on which there was any difference of opinion? (Hear, hear.) Or did it mean that it was the only vital-part of the bill that called for the most profound debate before it was decided because it was looked upon as the turning point in the measure, and on which its promoters would either stand or fall. He for one could not give the hon. member for Birmingham his vote, because he looked upon his amendment as one that ought not to be accepted by Parliament. Then with respect - to the appeal that had been made on the part of the author of the bill. The right hon. gentleman looked upon the appeal as the last that would be made to the voluntary principle, but he did not seem to have that faith which some had in the effect of that appeal. He (Sir C. Adderley) believed that this appeal to the voluntary principle would be most successful, and, in his opinion, it would be quite sure to cover any deficiency that ; might arise. The year of grace would, in his opinion, be most prolific, and all doubt that existed would be dispelled and the strength and grandeur of the principle would stand out in the most remarkable manner. It had been said that if the voluntary principle failed, what so rational as to cover any deficiency by local rates. He thought that proposition one that might be ac cepted and acted on with safety, but at the same time it was most :important that strong provision should be taken for the manner in which those rates were to be expended, because it was the question of rates that raised the religious part of the question. There might, he agreed with the right hon. member for Oxfordshire, be cases were the minorities might think they were the subject oZ oppression and hardship, but he thought that might be got rid of by those minorities' on appeal to the Privy Council. (Hear, hear.) He called attention to the absolute necessity of all classes of schools being brought within education department. Ho hoped the House would bear in mind that it was undesirable to have more compulsion in the matter of education than was necessary. As soon as there was a natural demand for education, education would go on. Their object should rather be to stimulate and encourage this demand, and not crush its growth. He thought no class should be in any way compelled to attend school, except in the most neglected and flagrant cases. Mr. MuNDELLA said it was when -a child had been neglected in the matter of education that he became pare of the criminal class, when he received the education e.( the street instead of the education of the school. The hon. member said a better acquaintance had led him to believe that the measure was a noble one, capable of great expansion. Con sidering the difficulties and the apathy and the low standard of what education ought to be, he was not sur prised at the speech of the hon. gentleman who had sat down. It had been said that the public faith was not pledged to the existence of the existing schools: but lie should be one one of the most ungrateful men in the wor7(l if he did not acknowledge their services. If the p u blic faith were not pledged to their maintenance public gratitude was. lie did not complain of the demand of the hon. member for Stroud for perfect religious equality, and his opinion was that when the Church was free from her trammels, she would have more power and comprehension. With reference to the question of delay, he declared that public opinion never yet had called upon any government in the world to establish a system of National education so loudly as in the present instance. He denied that a year's delay would enable them to settle the question with calmer minds, and he believed that such a delay would leave another-generation in ignorance. He trusted that the Government would not wait until more pressure was put upon them. He believed that a delay would result, not in a religious question, but in an irreligious question. He was one of those who would never consent to the exclusion of the Bible from the national schools. He had received his education in a national school, and he thanked God for the Biblical instruction he had received. Tho conscience clause that he thought his right hon. friend ought to concede was one for separating secular from reli gious teaching—(hear, hear). He could not compliment the hon. member for Birmingham in bring iug forward his amendment, and Le should say no to it whatever might be the consequences. Sir 11. IthARE supported the amendment, in deference to a generally expressed objection on the part of his constituents to religious education in rate-supported schools, except before or after school hours. Sir SELWIN-IBBETSON expressed hearty approval of the bill. M.r JACOB BRIGHT urged the withdrawal of the amend ment, in order that the Liberal party might not be broken up tefure going into committee. Mr. J. HOWARD regretted being compelled to oppoke the policy of the Government on this o2casion. Colonel BERESFORD considered the bill as an irreligious measure. He also thought it would paralyse voluntary effort, and leave destitute children still unprovided for. Mr. FAWCETT disapproved of the bill, as being an ex ample of permissive legislation which, as instanced in the working of the Hours of Labour Bill and the Workshops Act, bad usually proved inoperative. Mr. COWPER-TEMPLE and Sir C. DILKE having spoken, the former in favour of the bill, the latter of the amend- went, Mr. GLADSTONE said that the amendment proposed by Mr. Dixon had produced au extremely interesting debate. With regard to compulsory education he expressed his opinion that it was inevitable, but deeply regretted that its adoption should ly3 necessary in our present state of civilisation and wealth. But the question whether it should be resorted to or not was properly a matter to be settled in committee ; and upon this and ether considera tions he appealed to the House to allow the bill to pass its second reading unchallenged. The right hon gentleman intimated that in that case the Government were disposed to make some concessions regarding the conscience clause—to which he admitted that a time clause would be preferable— and the education of local minorities. Mr. G. HARDY, on behalf of the Opposition, stated that in supporting the bill hitherto they had not pledged themselves to join the Government in carrying it through its remaining stages. Mr. Dixos withdrew the amendment, which was formally negatived, and the bill was read a second time. The remaining business was disposed of, and the House adjourned. THE BRISTOL ELECTION. It is stated at Bristol that Captain Berkeley, eldest son of the late member, has been invited by the Independent Liberals to become a candidate. Ho is a moderate Libe ral and Churchman, and posscsccs many of the genial qua lities of his father. The test ballot will take place next Wednesday, and is to include voters who plumped at the general election for Morley or Berkeley, cr split between Morley and Mills or Mills and Berkeley. Electors since put on the register by the Liberal Asscciation are also to be included. Only plumpers for Mills are to be excluded. TIIE YORKSHIRE COLLIERY DISPUTES. More intimidation is being practised at Thorneßac, where the recent colliery riots occurred. A young Eon- Unionist miner was going to his home at Westwood, the other evening, when fourteen Unionists set upon him, kicked and stoned him, and so severely injured him that he is now unable to work. - IN _Ei 11l 131 .Ci.i. .1.4 .1..
