And of the quantity of barley im ported into the United Kingdom in the year 1869. The return was ordered, TIIE ARMY. Lord ELCHO gave notice that on going into committee of supply on the Army Estimates he would move a resolu tion to the effect that the reserve about to be formed alone justifies the proposed reduction in the army. CASHEL AND SLIGO. Mr. STACPOOLE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland what were the intentions of her Majesty Govern ment with respect to the boroughs of Cashel and Sligo, and whether they intended to propose to the House that new writs should be issued for either of these boroughs during the present session. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said the report on the borough of Sligo had not being received, but as soon es it was Government would be prepared to make a statement with respect to both those boroughs. ADDITIONAL LIGHT SHIPS. Mr. HOLLAND asked the Secretary to the Board of Trade whether• his attention had been called to the frequent wrecks which have recently taken place along the coast of Cardiganshire, Merionethshire, and Ca.rnarvonshire ; and whether the Government or the Trinity House contem plate placing another lightship along that coast, or alter ing the position of the lightship now stationed in Cardigan Bay, so as to make the same of use to vessels bound for the Irish Channel and for ports along the above coast. Mr. LEFEVRE said he had no precise information on the first portion of the question, but with respect to Cardigan Bay a light ship had been placed there in November last. lIABITUAL CRIMINALS. Mr. MILLER asked the Lord Advocate, whether it was the intention of Government to bring in a bill this session to amend the " Habitual Criminals Act," so as to make it more applicable to and more workable in Scotland. The LORD-ADVOCATE said he believed the ,utter required amendment, and therefore he would promise to introduce a bill on the subject. INDIAN RAILWAYS. Mr. RODEN asked the Under Secretary of State for India, whether the Government purposed proceeding without any more delay with the completion of the system of Indian railways ; and if he would state the total number of miles the Government proposed to construct, and the number of miles per annum. Mr. G, DUFF said the Government were doing all they could to carry on the construction of railways with the utmost expedition. One great line was constructed, and three others were also Lein; brought forward. EDUCATION. Mr. CAMPBELL asked the Vice-President of the Privy Council whether it was intended that under the Elemen tary Education Bill all classes of the community should be free to participate in the school system proposed to be based upon payment of rates, school fees, and Government grants. Mr. FORSTER said he must ask that the Education Bill might pass Parliament before the additional questions as to what would be done with regard to the Revised Code. HIGHWAYS. Mr. GEORGE GREGORY asked the Under Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the returns called for by himfrom the different Highway Boards were completed ; and whether he would lay them upon the table of the House. Mr. HUGESSErf said a number of letters had been sent Jut, but the answers had not yet been received. He should he happy to arrange with the hon. gentleman for the production of certain information on the subject. ISLAND OF ST. JUAN. Viscount MILTON asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the expense to which this country had been put on account of the joint occupancy of the Island A St. Juan from 1859 to 1869. Mr. OTWAY said the information he could give was very Imperfect, and therefore the noble lord had better move for a return on the subject. t THE TETZGRAPHS. Lord CLAtrD JOHN HAMILTON asked the Postmaster General if it was true that members of stock exchanges in large towns had a priority over all other communications transmitted by the Post Office telegraphs ; and, whether they had any advantages which the public did not enjoy with regard to the payment of messages. The Marquis of HARTINGTON said certain facilities had been given to the Stock Fxchanges of London, Liverpool, and the large towns, atd also to the brokers, for the pur pose of enabling them to settle their accounts. Those facilities had been coutinued, but no other preference had been given to them over other persons. TELEGRAPITECI MESSAGES. Mr. LEA asied the Postma.ster-General if he was able to give an opinion as to what average time ought to be occupied between the reception of a telegraphic message at any of the chief district post offices of the metropolis, and its delivery within one mile of the terminal office in any important tdwn within 200 miles. And if he does not consider two hours much too long. The Marquis of HARTINGTON said it all depended upon the state of the wires and the state of business under the ordinary circumstances mentioned; the time set down was too long. The message ought not to occupy much more than 35 minutes. MALTA TELEGRAPH. Mr. EYKYN asked whether her Majesty's Government had refused permission to the Marseilles, Algiers, and Malta Telegraph Company to land their cable at Malta ; and whether her Majesty's Government would lay upon the table a copy of the convention by which they guaran teed £3,000 a year to the Mediterranean Extension Tele graph Company. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the matter was still in the course of negotiation, and therefore he could not give any information. The guarantee was not £3,000 a year, but unfortunately £7,200. Ile had no objection to lay the paper on the table. EMIGRATION. • Sir JAMES LAWRENCE asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies if he was now prepared to state the number of free emigrants that would be sent to Western Australia during the present season ; and if he has any objection to lay before the House the dispatch recently re: ceived from the governor of that colony. Mr. MONSELL said no emigrants except the families of convicts had been sent out, and no? more would be sent out until the Governor had intimated the number and the description required. HABITUAL DRUZTKARDS. On the motion for going into cctsmittee of supply, Mr. D. DALRYMPLE rosoito move a resolution to the effect that it was desirable/to legislate for the proper re ception, detention, 9.11 ,4 1 management of habitual drunkards. He said l', hoped the house would fo,yaur him with its attc4ion for a few moments whilst ho addressed, to it./V fel,v observations to_show the great benefits which would result by adopttninsOine Inettiiii to .- , .etsain the habitual drunkard from indtilzing in the vice to which he had given way. He was induced to hope hat the House would take the matte r up because it was one that could not be called of a party character. lie had been charged with overrating the power of Parlia nent to deal with the subject, and also that the matter was one upon which he entertained a crochet, but he was quite prepared to labour under such an imputation if he could but induce the House to take .;oree steps in order that the great vice of drunkenness should be diminished. He did not believe that a drunkard, who had lost all self-control would ever stop in his mad career until the law had put a barrier between him and the facility of getting drunk, and amongst the proposals that he thought it would be wise and expedient to adopt, he proposed that there should be established receptacles, in which drunkards might be kept until they were enabled to exercise some control over their morals, which as drunkards they could not do. Another of the recommendations was to place the property of drunkards under the power of trustees, until they became able to properly take care of it themselves. It was further proposed to give magistrates the power to commit drunkards to some refor • inneory ward or'workhouse, and place them under medical control, until they were enabled, by discipline and prac tice, to get control over their dissipated habits. On a cure taking place, the money that the drunkard might , have earned during his confinement should be handed over to him after the cost of his main tenance had been deducted, and with this fund he would be able to get a fresh start in life, which he would never be able to have if he were not stopped in his wild and reckless career. The cost7E these institutions, it had been urged, would be one of the difficulties that would prevent the establishment of these institutions, and the next objection that had been raised was what would become of the family of the drunkard during his incarceration. To those objections he had to say there would be a large saving in the cost of workhouses and jails, a circumstance of itself that by many would be thought quite enough to justify the establishment of these reformatories. With respect to the other objec tion—what would become . of the family of the drunkard, he had to ask, could the familybe worse off than they were whilst the drunken father was dissipating in drink every farthing ho could rack and rend, little caring whether the fainting mother and helpless infant had had the slightest means of obtaining the necessaries of life. The evil was so great, and the remedy—at all events, he hoped to some extent—so easy, that he did hope that Par liament might be induced to give its sanction to the resolu tions he had to-morrow tomove, and then he hoped, when the attempt was made in good earnest, to reform the habi tual drunkard, their efforts would be crowned with success. Mr. MILLER seconded the motion. The hon. member for Bath had made out a strong case for the help of Par liament, and he hoped he would be succcsaful in obtain ing it. Mr. BRUCE said the matter which had been brought before them by the hon. member for Bath was surrounded by extreme difficulty, and the attempt to frame a law to deal only with confirmed drunkards, was a task that appeared to him almost impossible. It appeared to him, the hope to do so by the measure now proposed must be regarded es the dream of a benevolent mind—(hear, hear)—and according to his (Mr. Bruce's) view of the matter, the only way of lessening the evil was to be brought about by the moral conviction of the ter rible effects that would ensue from a long continuance of that disgraceful and degrading vice. (Hear, hear.) He did hope he should succeed in inducing the hon. member for Bath to withdraw his motion, the more so as he (Mr. Bruce) had given notice of his intention to in troduce a bill in which the attempt would be made to interpose mechanical difficulties in the way of the habitual drunkard. It appeared to him that the evil must be met by strong means, and not by expedients such as those proposed by the lion. member for Bath ; and, being of that opinion, he hoped that the present motion would not be pressed, and that the bill that was about to be brought forward would in a great degree ex tirpate that which he thought might be regarded as a national curse. Mr. DOWNING said that most of the propositions of the hon. member for Bath were in operation in America, where they treated the confirmed drunkard as a lunatic. Mr. Dar.aviireE raid, after the observations of the right hon. gentleman, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, he should not further press his motion. He had but one object in view, and that was to lessen that dreadful curse of drunkenness, which was one of the greatest blots that had ever fallen on the country. (Hear, hear.) The motion was then, by leave, withdrawn. LIEUTENANT CHEYNE. Sir JOHN HAY then brought the case of this officer under the attention of the , House. The noble lord said that Lieutenant Cheyne had performed a gallant act, and had saved human life at the risk of his own. He had been rewarded by a certain appointment on shore, and now it was proposed to abolish the establishment to which he had been attached, and which would result in his suffering great loss without adequate compensation. Mr. CHILDERS said Lieutenant Cheyne had doubtless performed a gallant act, and been rewarded ; but it was not exactly accurate to say by recent changes he had been deprived of the reward he had so nobly earned. Lieutenant Cheyne had received a pension and also a sum of money in lieu of the residence of which he had been deprived. The subject then dropped: THE MALT TAX. Colonel BARTTELOT called the attention of the House to the report of the select committee on the malt tax, which sat in the years 1867 and 1868 ; and moved that it was expedient that, in lien of the present duties on malt, a reduced charge should be made on the manufcatured article, beer ; and it appears to this house that a licence imposed in the same way as the commuted hop duty should be charged on public brewers, and a licence tobrew on all - private brewers. The hon. gentleman, in urging his motion on the Government, said there was he was aware the interest of four parties to consider—the pro ducer, the consumer, the great brewers, and the Exche quer, and he thought that if the malt tax were abolished, that each of these four contending interests would be improved. (Hear, hear.) The duty on foreign beer had been remitted last year, and that fact alone was a strong one in favour of his motion ; they had also last year taken off the shilling duty on corn, and under those cir cumstances he thought it would be but acting in an equi table spirit towards the farmers. The repeal of the duty would be an act of justice towards the farmers, and if a small duty was placed upon beer, the revenue, he felt, would most certainly benefit by the change. Mr. C. ItEAD strongly supported the motion, Mr. DENT said he should like to see something done to the matter, but he was afraid that the large amount of revenue at stake would present a great obstacle, which it would be impossible to surmount. Sir G. JENKINSON hoped that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would this year remit the malt tax, and give to farmers some portion of the four millions surplus which it was stated the right hon. gentleman would have to dispose of in the budget. Mr. DODSON supported the motion. He said the malt tax, as a matter of justice ought to be abolished. It acted most unjustly, and, in fact, it came in the end to be a tax on beer, a beverage which was favoured so largely as to have no less than nine taxes imposed on it, The malt tax also in the end became a tax on beef and mutton, and whilst it was so, it did not in that shape contribute one fraction to the public revenue. He did not think that any Government, looking to the general public for sup port, ought at least to refuse to consider the malt duty, with a view to its reduction or repeal. Mr. GREENE remarked that, as a brewer, ho would have no objection to the proposition that the duty should be im posed on beer instead of on malt. Mr. FEILDEN contended that the tax amounted to 70 per cent. instead of 121 per cent., and that this could be clearly demonstrated. He bad long been of opinion that it was a most unjust impost. The hon. member concluded by saying be know the Chancellor of the Exche quer could not afford to give up altogether a tax amounting to £7,000,000, but if ho would so alter the imposition of the tax as to give a better and cheaper beer to the consumer, much good would be accotrp'ished and the revenue would not suffer. The CD ANCELLOR of the ExcurQuEn admitted that he had no case, inasmuch as lie could not answer all the argu ments put forward by the lion. members who had spoken against the operation of the malt tax ; but he yet could not so alter the tax as to meet the views of those hon. gentle men, seeing that when it was levied on malt there were a great number of persons engaged in collecting it, and then the Government did not get very much out of it ; while now the collectors of it'were infinitely less numerous, and the operation of the tax was more satisfactory. He promised to give Col. Barttelot's proposal careful consideration before he made his financial statement, and expressed a hope that the motion would not be pressed. The amendment was withdrawn. The House then wont into Committee of Supply on the Navy Estimates. Some votes were egreod to, tied the House shortly afterwards adjourned. 171.1 Justice issued his decree in August last calling upon Ithe prelates to exert their authority over the clergy in order to suppress the Carlist movement many c) , clesiastics resented the action of the Minister, and the Archbishop of Santiago denied the authority of the Government to interfere in religious matters. He also published a manifesto in the Ecclesiastical Bulletin, which, it is alleged gave encouragement to the Carlists. Tine priests have always favoured that party, a fast whi c h no doubt makes the Government more in clined to prosecute the Archbishop. The debate in the Cortes has lasted a week, concluding on th 25th ult., and has been very animated. Singu laxy enough the cause of the Archbishop was su:Torted by several Radicals, and even by Castelar lt !nself on the ground that it was desirable the Courch should be independent of the State. Senor Corovel y Artiz, who spoke strongly in favour of granting the authorization, argued that the Minister had full right to issue the decree of the sth of August, and that the great majority of the Spanish prelates had obeyed it. The Archbishop of Santiago and the Bishops of Asma and Urgel had protested. With respect to the two last he had nothing to say, as they did not belong to the Cortes, but Senor Garcia de la . (Mesta had committed a series of acts not authorised by the Constitution. Senor Cisneros admitted that the question, like all those affecting the relations of Church awl State, was a complex and difficult one. IL denied that there was any relation between. the Archbishop's protest and the Carlist rebel lion of last year. - If such a charge could be proved, the Archbishop should bepunished as a conspirator and rebel •, if it could not be proved, - he could not be brought there. With respect to the competency of the tribunal, Senor Cisneros contended that it had been under stood for a long time past that ecclesiastics were only amenable to the civil tribunals for flagrant offences. This was nothing of the kind. Could the protest of a prelate against the interference of the Minister with his pastoral be a criminal offence? No ; it was a juridicial act on account of which it , was impossible to sub ject a bishop to the ordinary . tribunals. Senor Castelar contented himself with very few words. The Republican minority, he said, were opposed to the-authorisation,:not because of the superiority of the priesthood, which should be in their judgment sub ject to the civil authority, but, first, because they wish to preserve the inviolability of a deputy ; and, secondly, be cause they professed the piinciple of the indep en d en c e and. liberty of the Churell77The Minister of Giade aird jiiS tice (Senor Itivero) maintained that the safety of all liber ties depended on the integrity of the judicial p ower , and they were called upon to acknowledge the absolute inviolability of a prelate in Spain, whatever offence he committed. But they could admit no such 'immunity. After some further arnunents on both sides—some speakers acknowledging the jurisdiction of the Supreme Tribunal, but denying the existence of any offence—the vote was taken, and shewed 93 for the authorisation, and 59 against it. The Epoca denounces the conduct of the GoVernment in the matter as highly. impolitic. Ninety-eight votes were recorded for them it is true, but the absentees were numerous and important, while among the fifty nine of the minority who defended with their votes the inviolability of Parliament and the independence of the Church, were Republicans, Liberals, and Conservatives.; who were more illustrious and greater friends of the civil power and the Democratic Constitution. It is not politic, contends the Epoca, to excite unnecessarily grave questions which are likely to be fruitful of difficulties and conflicts. It wauld be wiser, more prudent, and more liberal to con form to the principles proclaimed in the revolution of S.lpteinbcr, and to-respect in the Archbishop of Santiago and the other prelates the freedom which has always re =ogniied an independent jurisdiction. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. An action for breach of promise of marriage, in which the defendant had allowed judgment to go by default, in the Court of Queen's Bench, has been heard at the Metro p Sheriffs' Court for the assessment of damages. The Solicitor-General and Mr. J. C. Mathew were counsel for the plaintiff, Miss Sarah Ann Mitchell, who claimed £lO,OOO as compensation ; and Mr. Serjeant Robinson appeared for the defendant, Mr. Francis Hazeldine. —The Solicitor-General said he was at a loss to understand what had induced the defendant to act in the manner he had done. Miss Mitchell was a young lady of about 23. She was the daughter of the into Mr. Mitchell, a timber merchant. The defendant, Francis Ha.zeldine, was about 27 y e a rs o f age , an d was th e son o f the late Mr. Hazeldine, manufacturer of railway rolling stock, and was the junior partner in the firm of Hazel dine and Son," in Lant-street, Borough. He was a man of considerable means, his income being about £3,000 a year. Toe parties met in 1861, and he was struck with the young lady's appearance. In the summer of 1862 he wrote her a note, enclosing aring, declaring his attachment f or h er, b ut the ring was returned. Subsequently he pressed his suit, and Mrs. Mitchell, the mother of the young lady, was consulted, and he was received as her suitor. The families were brought together. It was in all respects a suitable match, though Miss Mitchell might not have been so rich as the defendant. A long correspondence had taken place between the young couple. The letters were in the usual style of lovers' epistles—from summer they got to blood heat. The young lady was addressed as his Dearest Lillie." There were no dates to the letters, for persons living in the region of love were too mirth absorbed to care for such formalities. In one letter she was his "Polar Star" and his "Guardian Angel," with love and -lots of kisses. Suddenly the defendant ceased his attentions, and on one occasion passed Miss Mitchell, who became very ill, and for three or four years from 1862 no more was heard of him. Mrs. Mitchell, who had received no explanation of his conduct, had removed to Stamford-hill. Some ;islets were sent to him, and these were returned three yea,rs afterwards with jets which would represent a broken heart. lie had remained unmarried, and in 1867 he sent a letter addressed " Dear Miss Mitchell," and asked if he might call, and subsequently he was again received, and the letters which he sent were most affectionate. It was arranged in 1869 that they should marry in August of that year. A house was got ready for them, but he again dis continued his attentions, and wrote a letter on the 28th of October, 1869, asking to be released from his engagement, and concluding—" Waiting your reply." In November last the young lady refused to release him from his pro mlse, and then he said that the farce of going through matrimony would bring on her fearful misery. In a letter he fixed the Bth of December for the wedding, and told her that her share of the misery of such a marriage would be th e l arges t . A n interview then took place, when Miss Mitchell's brother was present. She said, in answer to the defendant, that it was her wish th a t th e marr i age s h ou ld p ro ceed, and he then said, " I'll take care you shall have plenty of cause to repent it." Two days before the time he had appointed for the wedding to take place, he declined to proceed with the marriage. The writ in action was served on the 6th January, and the declaration on the 17th, and in a paper called the Latest News of the 22nd of January ? there was an attack on /miles who brought actions for breach of promise of marriage. On the 24th the defendant, in an envelope, the writing on which he could prove was his had the incredible baseness to send the paper to The Shrubbery, Stamford Hill, where the young lady lived. — Mr. Serjeant Robinson said he did not intend to justify the conduct of the defendant ; he felt lie could not, but ho thought it had not been so bad as it was represented. Beyond dispute there had been intense affection, and nothing but incompatibility of temper had led to the estrangement. He could not justify this conduct, and the only question was what view the jury would take of the case. He had consented to a verdict, and to a letter of apology, which had been dictated by the Solicitor- General. The Solicitor-General said they had agreed to a verdict of 22,000, with a letter of apology, in the follow ing words :—" I regret extremely having, without any ground for doing so, broken off my engagement with Miss Mitchell, and for the way in which I broke it off. I beg now to offer the most full apology, and to with draw and express regret for any letters that may have caused her pain, and for the mode in which these letters were addressed to her. I entirely deny having sent, or had any hand in sending, the copy of the Latest News spoken of by the Solicitor-General in his opening speech."—The Under-Sheriff directed the jury to give a verdict for the sum agreed upon on the part of the defendant.—The damages were recorded for R 2,000, and the court certified for a special jury. " What is the size of this place ?" gravely asked a young New Yorker of the conductor, just after the brake man had sung out 0-pe-li-ka at a Southern station, where not a house was visible among the pines except a ram bling shed called an " eating- saloon." " It's about as big as New York," was the ready allsvvtr, "but it isn't built up yet." THE POLICE AND THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASES Act.—We understand that, by the sanction of the Board of Admiralty, the metropolitan police will in future be employed to carry out the provisions of the Contagious Diseases Act at Dartmouth, Ivybridoe, and Plymptorif and that for this purpose three additional constables w ill be appointed to the Devonport The following fact is mentioned by a Dublin papa as evidencing the desire of the Protestant farmers in the north of Ireland to support their clergy at the present crisis in the Church :—" On Dr. Burnside's return to his parish from the Convention he found, to his surprise, that during his absence all his tillage ground had been ploughed. His parishioners and neighbours contributed thirty-fiye well-appointed ploughs, and accomplished the work in rood style in one day." LOYALTY.—An old Scotch nurse once who was the sole depositary of a mysterious se ing the descent of property, and touching the of the house in which she had lived. A priest to confess, and reminded her of providing for of her soul. " The safety of my soul !" she sai would you put the honour of an old Scottish competition with the soul of a poor creature lik Mr. Fronde in Frazer. PRINCE PIERRE BONAPARTE.
