Mr. CARDWELL said that in 1861 a regulation was issued, allowing officers to sell their commissions, as long as any mony remained in the fund, but in consequence of the reduction of the army, the fund had not been in a condi tion to admit of its being continued. TAX ON REAL PROPERTY. Mr. PELL asked the First Lord of the Treasury whe ther, in case the funds as at present raised by local taxa tion were further burdened by the Legislature with charges for elementary education, her Majesty's Govern ment intended to take any and what steps to ascertain, and, if necessary, to remedy any inequality that may now exist, or may from the proposed school rate arise, in the distribution of taxation on real and personal property re• spectively. Mr. GLADSTONE said the question of taxation was at present under consideration, but with respect to what might become necessary, he could not say. THE TELEGRAPHS. Mr. WILLIAM JOHNSTON asked the Postmaster General whether there was any reason why, during the week end ing 12th March, a telegram should have taken seven hours to go from London to Belfast. And how soon there was a prospect of the present irregularity and delay in the transmission of messages to and from Belfast being terminated. The Marquis of HARTINGTON said the delay bad been occasioned in consequence of the wires connecting with that part of Ireland having been cut. He was sorry to say further delay would doubtless arise, as an accident had occurred to the wires between Haverfordwest and Wexford. They were remedying the defect with the utmost speed. • Sir WILLIAM GALLWEY asked the President of the Board of Trade whether her Majesty's Government had urged upon the French Government the adoption of the recom mendation of Captain Tyler for a joint commission rela tive to the improvement of the communication between the two countries ; and, if this had not been done, were the Government prepared to take any immediate steps to that effect, or to adopt any other means for enlisting the co operation of the French Government in furthering so important an object. Mr. SHAW LEFEVBE said Capt. Tyler's report had been laid before the French Government, and the French Go vernment were fully alive to the importance of the sub ject. It was not proposed to suggest to the French Go vernment an International Commission on the subject, but he understood they had appointed a commission to report on the subject.

BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. In reply to Mr. Harvey Bruce, Mr. GLADSTONE said he did not think it possible to take the navy estimates before the 11th of April. With respect to printing the Irish Land Bill, he thought it could not be done in time to be of any use, as the bill would be proceeded with to-morrow, and as far as regarded the Easter Recess he could not say when the house would adjourn, but it would reassemble after the vacation on Easter Monday se'night.

It is now stated that the gentleman who offered £6,000 has obtained the ship, by private arrangement, for £4,500, not the mere hull and standing gear, be it remembered, but sails, spars, stores, engines, and, in fact, everything that was on board when she was paid off."

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 original capital ; and, in addition, to give to each Sub orriber 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. Glyc, Mills, Currie, and o. 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 The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'cloek.

Lord REDESDALE called the attention of the House to an error in Parochial Schools (Scotland) Bill, returned to this House from the Commons on the 9th of August last, as affording proof of the just objection entertained by this House to proceed with the consideration of the Com mons' amendments at so late a period of the Session. The Duke of Argyle said the Bill came down at so late a period, that in his opinion their lordships were justified in rejecting it. Lord KINNARD thought it would be possible to intro duce a clause to the English Bill in embrace Scotland. Earl MINTO scarcely hoped such a course could be pur' sued. Mr. BAXTER said the report was altogether incorrect. The ship had been put up for sale, and, as a bid of only £4,600 could be obtained, it was bought in. An offer o of £6,000 was afterwards made, but withdrawn by the party making it. On the ship being again put up for sale only £3,900 was obtainable, whereupon an offer of £4,500 was accepted.

With regard to the new buildings, however great the crowd, either to the inconvenience of the deputation or the minister, the buildings would suffer no evil. (Laughter.)

Lord CLANRICARDE moved for a return of the counties or other districts of Ireland which have been proclaimed by the Lord-Lieutenant from Ist November, 1868, up to the present date, and copies of or extracts from any corre spondence that may have taken place between the Irish Government and lieutenants, d e puty-lieutenants, or magistrates of counties relative to crime and outrage in the years 1868 and 1869. The noble earl took the opportunity of referring to the present state of the country, and the steps the Government had taken with respect thereto. Lord DuFFEBIN said there would be no objection to the return being made. The Income Tax Assessment and Inland Revenue Law Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed. Their lordships then adjourned, at twenty minutes past six. Mr. MOORE asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether he was to understand the statement which he received in reply to his question on Thursday, the 17th instant, in the sense of the following words :—" That the consideration of this question must necessarily depend on the restoration of law and order in Ireland; and, as soon as the disorders now prevailing in that country are repressed, he trusts that he will be able to give a very different answer to Mr. Moore, and to announce the libera of the political prisoners. Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Mr. Moore, said that as the question contained words which were placed between inverted commas, perhaps it was only just to the lion, member and himself to explain that the words in inverted commas contained the signification which Mr. Moore was good enough to make to him of the kind of answer ho hoped to receive. (Laughter). But really and seriously, knowing the hon. member to be a great master of clear and powerful expression of idea, he (Mr. Gladstone) was very glad to say that he thought in his reply he could keep very close to the substance of the words. Since he had seen the question on the notice paper, he had referred to the answer he made as sported, and he thought it appeared so far as his memory served him, to be reported with very great accuracy. With regard to the question put to him, he supposed every man had a preference for his own mode of expression. nowever interior, but as respected the substance, he say, no difference between the answer of the hon. gentleman and the words in which he spoke the other night. When he spoke of political prisoners of course he reserved to the executive government the duty of drawing a line b6twecn prisoners properly political and prisoners in whose acts there might have been a motive of offence.

On the motion of Mr. GLYN a new writ was ordered to be issued for Bristol, in the room of the late Mr. F. H. Berkeley. PUBLIC EXPENDITURE. Mr. JAMES WHITE asked the Secretary to the Treasury, when the return of public income and expenditure, ordered by the House on the 24th July, 1866, and presented on the 11th March 1867, would be issued. Mr. STANSFELD said the return, with that for 1868, would be laid on the table as soon as possible. DEATHS IN THE METROPOLIS. Mr. JOHN TALBOT moved for a return of the number of deaths in the metropolitan district in the years 1868 and 1869, and in the months of January and February, 1870 upon which a coroner's jury have returned a verdict of " Death from starvation" or " Death accelerated by pri vaton ;" specifying in each case the amount of out-door relief (if any) which the deceased had received, also stat ing whether admission to the workhouse had been de clined by the deceased. The return was ordered. LIVERPOOL IMPROVEMENT BILL. Mr. CHARLES FORSTER moved that the minutes of the evidence taken before the committee on the Liverpool Improvement Bill, in session 1867, be referred to the com mittee on the Leeds Corporation Gas, &c., the Leeds Cor poration Gas (Purchase, &c.), and the Leeds Gas Bills. The motion was agreed to. PRESERVATION OP PEACE (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. MOORE gave notice that on the motion for the second reading of this bill he should move that it be read a second time that day six months. THE ROYAL ENGINEERS. - Mr. JAMES WHITE asked the Secretary of State for war what duties formerly carried on by the departments at present placed under the control system are now performed by the Royal Engineers ; and, if it be the case that those duties are satisfactorily performed, and have entailed no increase in the superintending staff of that department, what reduction had been made, in consequence of those diminished duties, in the number of officials under the con solidated system of the new Control Department. Mr. CARDWELL was understood to say that duties now performed by the Royal Engineers, would for the future be placed under the direction of the Control Department. RETIREMENT FROM THE ARMY. Mr. GOURLEY asked the Secretary of State for War if it was correct that field officers of the army who had utind 9.ablif-x42Y,I9.4APgAIi,e L. 411 valovi thcir commis. Mr. WIMPIELD BAKER asked the Secretary of State for War since arrangements were about to be made by which quartermasters were not to be granted to regiments of militia, how the duties of such an officer were to be performed during the times of training, and how they who performed them were to be remunerated. Mr. CARDWELL said it was proposed that the duties should be discharged by the adjutant and assistant guar master-sergeant. They would be remunerated according to the militia regulations. THE CENTRAL HALL. Mr. ARTHUR GUEST asked the Chief Commissioner of Works whether he intended to make provision in the estimates for completing the decoration of the Central ; and, if not, his reasons for not so doing. Mr. AYRTON said the estimates would be prepared and until they were laid upon the table it was unusual to ask what would be their contents. He had no authority from her Majesty's Government to say what their intention would be in preparing the estimates with regard to the completion of the central hall, that would be dealt with in the estimates. PATRONAGE OF THE ARMY. Colonel STUART KNox asked the Secretary of State for War whether he had now the right to interfere with the command, discipline, and patronage of the army, or was such power, as it formerly was, expressly excepted in the wording of the warrant appointing the Secretary of State. Mr. CARDWELL replied that the command, discipline, and patronage of the army were in the hands of the Commander in Chief. As he had previously stated he was responsible for . the approval of every appointment that was made, at the same time it must be understood distinctly that the patronage of the army did not rest with the Secretary of State. It was entirely independent of any political or personal influence on his part. ' HANWELL ASYLUM. Mr. Cnoss asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the Commissioners in Lunacy made any special inquiry into the cases of Santi Nistri, a pauper lunatic in the Hanwell Asy lum, and Rees Price, in tre Carmarthen Asylum, who recently died from broken ribs and other injuries in these institutions ; and if so, whether there was any objection to their reports being laid upon the table of the House. In reply to Mr. Liddel. Mr. BRUCE said he should not be able to go on with the bill until after Easter. THE BEVERLEY BRIBERY PROSECUTIONS. In reply to Mr. Bouverie, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said it was quite true the record had been withdrawn and the trial put off, but it had been occasioned solely by the fact that there would not be time to go on with the trial at the present assizes. He had a letter from Mr. Baron Cleasby to that effect. He should have no objection to try the case in Louden if it was so agreed. PBESERVATION OF PEACE (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion for reading the bill a second time, Mr. G. MooRE rose, and moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. He said the first instal ment of legislation with the view of governing Ireland from an Irish point of view, was contained inkthe Irish Church Bill, the second in the release of some of the poli tical offenders, and third in the Irish Land Bill. He considered the present proposal as an outrage upon com mon sense. The action of the Executive was calculated to prejudice, as far as it was possible to prejudice, the public opinion Ireland agaidst the object they had in view, as well as the caurse they were pursuing. The bill, under the pretence of of protecting life and property, sought to establish little- less than than personal government in Ireland. Mr. CALLAN seconded the proposition. He believed the Government had sufficient power already to suppress agrarian crime if they only properly used it. Mr. NEWDEGATE assuredthe House that Fenianism was extending, and it was none too soon that the executive shoiild take some action as to the use of a large supply of arms. Arms had during the last few months been stealthily introduced into Ireland, and for what purpose the House might judge. As to the measure itself, it was a feeble copy of the Insurrection Act of 1833. He could not express the strongfeelingth at the measures the Government had brought forward to pacify Ireland had created in his mind. He could only see error in all that had hitherto been done. They had brought forward one measure which, in effect, was saying we dare not maintain Protestantism—(hear, hear)—and with respect to the Land Bill, why, the great effect of it woufd be to abolish. altogether the agricultural freeholder in Ireland. It ap peared to him that the real object of the Government in bringing forward the measure was to establish the feudal tenure in that country—(oh, oh, and hear, hear.) It had been said that the exertions of the Government were directed to assimilating the law of Ireland with that cf England ; but up to the present time he had seen nothing of the sort, and he did not think that under present circumstances he ever should. Mr. SANDERSON said he felt deep regret that the state of Ireland had rendered it necessary for her Majesty's Government to bring forward such a measure as that now before the House. He quite agreed with the hon. gentle man who had just sat down ; he quite agreed with him that recent legislation had brought about the present state of affairs. He had further listened with the hope of hearing him state his real opinions on the matter, but he did not. His (Mr. Sanderson's) opinion was that legislation had done a good deal, but the real thing was that for years there had been a contest going on between landlord and tenant in Ireland, as to who the property belongs. He readily admitted that the tenants had some right on their side. (Hear, hear.) But the right of landlord and tenant had so got mixed up, that there really was a difficulty of saying as to whom certain properties really did belong. A demand had been made that certain improvements should be made by the landlords, but he knew for a fact that landlorde could not carry out these improvements be:muse the cost of so doing would exceed the fee simple of their estates. (Hear,hear.) He knew, as an Irish landlord, that if he had done all that was required by his tenants, he should not have been in that house. (Laughter.) He should give the measure his cordial support, and in the event of its not proving sufficient, be hoped the Government would come forward again before the end of the session. The hon. gentleman then detailed cases of night visitations, in one of which he said a farmer was on one occasion visited by a pasty, who not only pulled him out of bed and made him swear to give up his farm in favour of a former possessor, but they actually made him pay their expenses back so Tipperary. (Loud laughter.) He had received a threatening letter, and it showed a peculiar de velopment of the Irish mind, the letter went on to say; but if he did not give a certain tenant notice, he (Mr. Sanderson would be shot ! but if the writer could not shoot better than he could spell, he did not think he stood in much danger, as he spelt balls " bawles." (Laughter.) If that coercive measure were the only measure which Go vernment intended to bring forward for the pacification of Ireland, he should despair, and he should have no hope But they had introduced the land measure which asked from the landlords of Ireland the sacrifice of many of those rights which they had always thought and believed to be inherent in the posse ssion of property. He believed, however, that the measure would in the end satisfy and pacify the country. Colonel W. PATTEN observed that he had gone pretty narrowly into the state of crime in Ireland. He had looked at it in its different forms, and had come to the conclusion that the state of Ireland was more terrible and horrible than it appeared. He did not believe that in any period was there co much danger to life and property, and the condition of the country never so entirely represented the reign of terror, which existed at the time of the French Revolution, as it did at present. He should support the measure brought forward by the Government, but he could not help saying that if they had exercised a little more decision and firmness before hand, much of the present troubled state would have been prevented. The debate was continued by Mr. Maguire Dr. Ball, Mr. Horsinan, &c. On the motion of Mr. DOWNINO the debate was adjourned, .... of 2c l , ...
