Bazaar stalls for the sale of fancy artictea 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 CAFE, RESTAURANT, DINING, and SUPPER SALOON, served in the best style by a Parisian chef and assistants, e.t 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, SO much required in London, and for the successful carrying gut 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 Lon 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 per 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. union, but the roor-law Board had addressed a short reproof to those who refused to supply the necessary maps, &c., required for the use of the school. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. bill which would enable the Lord-Lieuteiint to appoint an increased number of magistrates for the purpose of working the provisions of the bill. The clauses of the Bill, apart from those in reference to the press, were not calculated to deal exclusively with Ribbon and agrarian crime, but Fenianism or any seditious machinery. The hon. member for the county of Cork had said there had beenno case made out for the passing of the bill ; that Agrarian crime had never existed ingthe country to any great extent, and therefore he was afraid his hon. friend took too favourable a view of matters. The Government did not rest the demand for this bill on the whole of Ireland, but on certain counties with which the Government could not successfully battle with the law as it at present stood. (Hear, hear.) He also agreed with him that there had been a great deal of exaggeration in many points connected with the bill. Objection had been raised to - the power taken by the bill to arrest absconding witnesses, but he could assure the House that no new principle was introduced by that provision. It was a most salutary provision, and in his opinion it would work most success fully and satisfactorily. The hon. member for Mayo had stated that Government ought to have exhausted all the means at their command before they in troduced such a bill as the present, but in answer to that, he had to say Government had tried all the ordinary Means of repressing crime, and finding increased powers necessary, they felt it their duty to apply to Parliament to strengthen their hands by giving them the means of meeting the emergency in the most prompt and effective manner.

Offices—ROYAL EXCiHANGE, London. Branch Office-29, Pall Mall, S.W. Sir GEORGE JENKINSON asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he would state, for the informa tion of the house, the grounds upon which he had within th,3 last week, as stated in the public papers, recommended the reprieve of three convicts, sentenced to death for murder, and the commutation of such sentences—viz., William Cunningham, who was lately sentenced to death by Lord Justice Clerk, for the murder of a woman at Glas gow ; Susannah Hyde, who was lately sentenced to death for the wilful murder of her infant child at Tetsworth ; and Jacob Spinas, who was convicted at the last session of the Central Criminal Court, and sentenced to death for the wilful murder of Cecilia Aldridge. Mr. BRUCE said he had been in Parliament for eighteen years, and he never had heard a Secretary of State called upon to justify the course he had felt it his duty to take with respect to the commutation of sen tences in the form of question and answer. Undoubtedly it was the right of hon. members to ask for information, and in the cases of Wright, Townley, and Jessie Mac lachlan, notices had been given of the intention to bring forward a motion on the subject, and the Minister had the fullest opportunity of justifying the course takep in each of those cases. No doubt curiosity was felt on the subject by hon. members, but then it was thought improper and unfair to the Home Secretary to ask for the information in the form of a question. He would not shrink from answering the question of the hon. member. (Loud cries of "No, no.") He gathered from those cries that it was the wish of the House he should n9t answer the question, and he thanked the House for enabling him to resist the question put to him. 8 , GBE&T WINDMILL-STREET, LONDON, W.

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 s3riber 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 Co. half yearly, on the 15th of January and the 15th of July, the first Coupon fur 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 bo summed up as follows: • 1. interest at £6s. bs. per cont. 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. Application to be made in the annexed Form, accom panied by a deposit of £lO per cent.

COINAGE BILL. ii`'• On the motion for going into committee on this bill, The Duke of RICHMOND asked why silver had been omitted from the bill. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said the omisssion of silver arose from its being found that the profit would be larger if silver was not dealt with as gold was treated by the bill. Lord KINNAIRD moved that the bill be referred to a select committee, as he considered the measure had not been sufficiently considered ; but, after a few words of explanation from the Marquis of Lansdowne, the motion was withdrawn, and the House went into committee os the bill. The bill passed through committee, but Lord Kinnaird gave notice of his intention to move for a committee tc inquire into the whole of the working of the Royal mint, The Income Tax Assessment and Inland Revenue Lavc Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed.

MURDERS IN IRELAND. - - Mr. STACPOOLE moved for a return in a tabular form, setting forth in numerical and chronological order, the date and (as near as may be) the hour of eaoh murder and homicide committed in each county in Ireland. mince the Ist day of January, 1860 ; and stating as to each outrage the name and surname of each person killed, also of each person arrested, with the date of his conviction, acquittal, or discharge from custody ; such return to be accompanied by a map or maps indicating thereon, by corresponding number, the spot where each outrage took place ; and similar return as to all attempts at murder during the like period. The return was ordered. PEACE PRESERVATION Mr. MAGUIRE gave notice that on going into committee on the bill, he should move the omission of all clauses /e -lating to newspapers. PAUPER EDUCATION. Mr. W. WILLIAMS asked the President of the Poor law Board, whether his attention had been called to a report in the papers of the proceedings of the Ellesmere Board of Guardians, on Tuesday, Bth March, stating that a letter was read from the schoolmaster, apply ing to the Board for a map of England and Wales, also one of Palestine. The Board were of opinion that it was not necessary for the pauper children to learn geography, and therefore the application was refused." And, whether the statement was true and whether the conduct of the Board was approved of by the Government. Mr. GOSCHEN said his attention had not been called to the subject by the newspapers, but in consequAce of the hon. gentleman's question ho had made inquiry, and lie found that the schoolmaster of Ellesmere Union applied to the guardians for some books, slates, and maps. The first two articles were supplied, but the maps were thought to be unnecessary, as there were only six boys above ten and six below in the school, and therefore the maps were thought to be unnecessary. That was the cause of the refßsal, and not that assumed by the hon. member. Thje btel mtilcozzalike/ THE CENTRAL HALL. Mr. A. GUEST asked the First Commissioner of Worts whether he had applied to the Treoeury to sanction the necessary provision for completing the decoration of the central hall. Mr. AYRTON said he had already stated that estimates on the subject would be laicl on the table, further than that he declined to give any information at the present moment. CAPITAL SENTENCES. Sir GEORGE JENEINSON, who had given notice of his intention to move for leave to bring in a bill—respecting the reviai9 and commutation of Capital Sentolces, prO. tested agamst such remaTlf.s as had been made by the Hofne Secretary. .' bqk; Mr. BRUCE said that he did n?t intend, !t o fax as 04 Government was concerned, to ofiOr 9,ny objection, POLITICAL PWSONERS. • Mr. CALLAN had given notice of a motion with rote''- , ence to the appointment of a select committee to inquir into the rules affecting, and the actual treatment of, political prisoners, with power to send for papers and per sons, and to examine notices. Mr. BRUCE appealed to Mr. Callan not to press his motion, which was deferred until an early day. THE PEACE PRESERVATION BILL (IRELAND). The debate on this bill was resumed by Mr. M'CARTHY DOWNING, who said that no case had been made out by the Government for introducing a coercive act more aggravated in its form than any for merly introduced when crime was rife in Ireland. He said the character of the Irish people ws s misrepresented by the untrue reports that had appea l ed in the news papers, and in support of the assertion he might poitit to the account that appeared with respect to wha was called an attempt at murder at Kantuk. It went on to state that a Mr. Smith had been fired at and sent a threatening notice, but he was in a posi tion to say that the gentleman mentioned had never been sent a threatening letter, neither had ever been shot at. (Hear, hear.) Then it was said that Tipperary was the worst spot in Ireland with respect to crime and outrage, which he strongly denied, and he knew that where it had been necessary to serve a writ in that county, it had been done openly and without the aid of the police. He should like to know whether England was in a position to throw stones at Ireland with respect to crime. The police in Ireland was far more active than that of England, as he found in looking over a tabular statement that had been drawn up, which shewed that the appre hension.; by the Irish police were at the rate of 63, whilst the police in England only came up to 58. He was certain that the horrible murders that were committed in England far exceeded in barbarity anything perpetrated in Ireland. In that country there were no cases •of battering wives brains out, and massacreing infants as was unfortunately the case in England. He felt that crime in England was far in excess of that in Ireland. Having listened to all that had been said, he came to the conclusion that no case had been made out for the present bill. The misery of Ireland arose from oppression. Remove that, and the con dition of the country would immediately improve. He contended that the Bill was an invasion of these constitutional principles of which England had been so proud. With regard to the press clauses, he asserted that under the provisions of the measure an editor of a news japer would stand no chance against the Government. So far from the Bill pacifying Ireland, it would be looked apon as an invasion of the rights of the people of that country. Lord JOHN MANNERS, whilst he did not shrink from giving the measure his most hearty support, claimed the right to criticise the past conduct of the Government, and the period they had selected for the introduction of the Bill. He referred to the manner in which he had on several occasions felt it his duty to bring under the notice of her Majesty's Government the condition of Ireland in respect to agrarian crime, and the efforts made by inde- Pendent members of the House to stir the Government to action, in the suppression of the class of crime in question. He could not say that her Majesty's Government were entirely free from responsibility as to the 'language which they had used with .reference to Ireland. The noble Lord said that he had expressed it as his opinion teat the Government had . been guilty of a lack of energy in bringing forward the bill, but the measure having been submitted to Parliament, he should give it his support, but he doubted whether it would answer the expectation of those who brought it Forward. The bill ought to have four objects, which were ill important, and those four objects were the prevention of crime,the detection of crime, the punishment of crime,and the repression and suppression of the incendiary press. The measure promised well. That he was bound to say, but it was very doubtful whether the suspension of the Habeas Cor pus Actwould not have been better in some parts of Ireland, is it would enable the paymasters of the assassins to be apprehended by the police, as it was well known that the police, had they the power to apprehend certain people lould at any moment put their hand on the )ieads of the Ribbon conspiracy. The power given by the bill to search for arms was a wise provision, and doubtless, would work satisfactorily. The pro vision to apprehend absconding witnesses would Also be of great assistance in punishing those who had brought about the present alarming state of things. The Bill he thought would be effective for the detection of crime, but he doubted whether it would be as affieacious for its punishment as it was not strong enough In its provision, for it appeared to him that something more than changing the venue was required. It was his Aesire to see Ireland prosperous and contented, and there fore, he hoped that the passing of the present bill would In some measure at least tend to bring that desirable result about. But before resuming his seat, he must say that the bill seemed to him to shew some distrust of the magistracy, which he hought would be viewed in anything but a favourable light by those whose duty it was to ad minister the law in Ireland. Mr. C. FORTESCUE noticed several of the observations made by the last speaker with reference to the conduct of the Government in relation to Ireland. The noble lord had implied in the course of his speech that by the bill the Government shewed a want of confidence in the magis trates of Ireland; but that was really opposed to the fact of the case. The hon. member then proceeded to deny that the Government insulted the magistrates by requiring the presence of a stipendiary magistrate in cases of summary dealing with offenders. The bill gave the magistrates their proper place in local jurisdiction in dealing with small offences in which the peace of their districts was involved. It was the intention of anitarnment to introdueskin_eninrnitteelLasinieie-tba. Sir T. BATEsorr said the "message of peace" to Ireland of the present Government 'had been a "sword." They had "let loose the dogs of war." Never in his memory had that coun,try been is so disorganised a state as at this mo ment, and their coercion bill was the most stinging of satires upon their Irish policy. The debate was continued by Mr Kavanagh, Mr. Sergeant Sherlock, Mr. Murphy, Lord 0. J. Hamilton, Mr. Agar Ellis, Ur. Conolly. Mr. WHITE and Colonel WHITE agreed in condemning the details of the measure, and in approving the motives of the Government for introducing it, but hero they diverged, the latter supporting the second reading and the former declining to vote at all. Mr. GLADSTONE replied first to the criticisms on the bill, and admitting the stringency of the Press Clauses, he argued that the present law was utterly insufficient in prac tice, and that it would be useless to ask for any change which would not only enable the Government to punish the sedi tious writers, but to stop the seditious writings. Replying to Mr. Downing's statistics, he distinguished between crimes involving moral guilt and those leading to social danger, and pointed out that labourers, and even women, were victims to_these outrages in larger numbers than the owners of property. Next he replied to the gene ral charges against the conduct of the Government, calling on Sir Thomas Bateson and Lord C. J. Hamilton to furnish chapter and verse for the inflammatory speeches of which they accused him, protesting that he was oblivious of them, particularly of the phrase tkat Ireland was to be governed " according to Irish ideas." As to the charge of unreasonable delay in the introduction of the bill, he urged that no nicer question could come before a Cabinet than the exact moment at which such a measure should be . brought forward. Commenting on Dr. Ball's speech, he ad mitted that though the Irish Executive was strong in power it was weak in moral influence over the population ; and the whole object of legislation should be to increase that moral influence by draw ing off from the 'criminal classes those who did not commit offences, but sympathised with them. This process would be interrupted by temporary measures of coercion ; but he had the most profound confidence that their permanent remedial measures would ultimately succeed in this object. On a division the second reading was carried by a majority of 412-423 to 13. Several other bills were forwarded a stage, and the House adjourned at five minutes to one o'clock. THE PEACE PRESERVATION (IRELAND) BILL. The preamble of the Peace Preservation Bill states simply that "it is expedient to make further and better provision for the protection of life and property in Ire land." The first part of the bill relates to the amendment of the Peace Preservation Act of 1856. and chiefly refers to THE USE OF ARMS. section 6, persons living in a proclaimed district, and licensed to kill game, are no 1 n;er to carry arms without a license from a justice of the peace, nor are they to have arms in their possession after notice in proper form requiring them to deliver them up. Not even a. licensed party is to carry, or after notice to retain, a re volver in a proclaimed district without a special permit, and if either of these provisions be violated, the offender is (under section 7), to be liable to not more than two years' imprisonment, with or without hard labour. The provisions of two statutes are applied by the Bth section to prevent and punish tumultuous risings in pro claimed districts. The 10th section makes a search ear rant 'for arms stand good for three months, and Wes power to its holders to make a forcible entry into houses. By section 11, dealers in gunpowder, etc., are forbidden to sell to any person in a proclaimed district, unless the pu. chaser produces a licence to make, deal in, or sell gun, powder, or to have or carry arms, or a magisterial certifi cate that the gunpowder is required for mining or blast ing purposes. In the latter case particulars of the sale are to be endorsed on the certificate, and signed by the seller, under penalties of £5 f or th e first, and no for the second offence, EVIDENCE. ' '~.`~~ ,: . The 13th section enables any justice of the peace i . n At proclaimed district, after the commission of any felony Ot 1 misdemeanour, to summon any person within his Jurisdiction whom he may have reason to believe able to give material evidence with reference to it, although no person may be; charged before him with the commission of such offence., The 15th section gives j us ti ces o f th e peace power t o i ssue , search warrants upon sworn information that a threaten-. ing letter or notice was written by any particular person, if the informatio n g i ves hi m reasona bl e cause to Ibelieve, that any document in the suspected person's handwriting . is to be found in any house or place within the district, in order that the writing may be compared, and proof of guilt thus obtained. • ,lky t SPECIAL PROCLAMATIONS. The second part of the Act relates to special proclama- ; tions by the Lord-Lieutenant and Privy Council for applying the provisions of the Act to any district in which such a step shall appear to be necessary for the preven tion of crime and outrage, and directions are given as to !how these proclamations are to be issued. Public houses in proclaimed districts may (under section 21) be closed by order of the Lord-Lieutenant at such time after sunset, as his lordship shall think fit to specify, under penalty of £5O fine and imprisonment for three months. Any stranger sojourning or wandering in a proclaimed district may (by section 22) be arrested and examined on oath as to the place where he lives, whence he came, his means of livehhood, and motive for being where he was found. If he cannot satisfy the justice, or give sfcurity.l for his good behaviour, he is to be committed to prison for an indefinite period, and the Lord-Lieutenant will exercise his discretion as to his detention or discharge. PERSONS OUT AT NIGHT. Persons found in the streets, highways, or elsewhere out of their dwellings or places of abode between one hour after sunset and sunrise, under suspicious cir cumstances, may, under section 20, be arrested by any magistrate, constable, .peace officer, or other person. At the hearing of the charge, the prisoner may be heard in his own defence but if he fail to satisfy the justices that he was out of his house on lawful business he may be sent to prison, with or without hard labour, for not more than six months. SEDITIOUS NEWSPAPERS. The third part of the bill relates to the suppression of treasonable or seditious publications. The 28th section enacts :—" Where any newspapers printed in Ireland contain any treasonable or seditious engraving,. matter, or expressions, or any incitements to the committing of any felony , or any engraving, matter, or expressions, having a tendency to foster, encourage or pro pagate treason or sedition, or to incite to the committing of any felony, all printing presses and other plant and materials for the purpose of printing or publishing such newspapers ? or found in or about any premises where such newspaper is printed or published, together with all copies of such newspapers, wherever found, shall be forfeited to her Majesty." Any such newspaper printed elsewhere, tut circulated in Ireland, is to be forfeited. THE SALE OF ARMS AND GUNPOWDER. The bill contains certain regulations as to the sale of arms and ammunition. None but licensed makers may sell or deal in gunpowder without a license from the Lord Lieutenant or one of his secretaries, and no such licehce is to be obtainable without a certificate from two or more justices in the licencee's district that he is a proper person to obtain the same, and has fit and secure stores for keep ing the explosive compound. Offenders are to be punish able by a fine of £5O, and the forfeiture of all powder in their possession. COMPENSATION FOR INJURIES. The 37th section enables the county grand jury, by for mal presentment, to extend the principle of Lord Camp bell's Act by making localities answerable for personal injuries. Compensation so awarded is to be levied only upon the occupim of dwelling-houses within the district.
