The LORD CHANCELLOR topic his seat on the Woolsack at 5 o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Lord Bridport took the oath and his seat. BANKRUPTCY ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Toni WESTBURY remarked, on the proposal that This bill should be c tunnitted, that ho hoped that it would not be proceeded with. Lord 11011 ILLY cousidere I that this bill hail been brought forward hi too hasty a manner, awl, therefore, that it ,hould ❑ot be proceo.led with, and earnestly tru,ted that his noble and learned friend would not press forward the bill till next session. The LORD CHANCELLOR considered that the bill would bl advantageous as amen led, but he should like the house to have its mind thoroughly satisfied on the matter. There were some objections raised, and the persoas ob jecting had asserted tL:tt they could not have the oppor tunity of stating their objections if the bill was passed this session. Ho thought it would be advisable to adjourn the bill till next session. Lord CRANWORTH thought that it would be perti nacious to press forward the bill after the expressions of opinion on the part of his noble and learned . friends, and therefore he would withdraw it in conformity with their views. Numerous influential bodies had, however, ap proved of the bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR suggested, on the other hand, that it would be more convenient that the bill should pass through committee, and then there would be an op portunity of bringing any valid objection to it on the report. The house then resolved itself into a committee, and after a brief and desultory disanssion as to the mode of procedure, Lord Chelmsford moved that the chairman should report progress, and the bill passed through com mittee. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the Chair at 2 o'cl ck. METROPOLITAN AND ST. JOHN'S WOOD R AIL WAY BILL. The Lords' Amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. INVALID OFFICERS. Sir R. ANS TRUTHER asked the Secretary of State for War whether the travelling allowance of officers in valided home from Abyssinia had been disallowed ; and, if so, for what reason ? SirJ.PAKINGTON said be regretted the terms in which the hon and gallant gentleman had put his question, because it might mislead some persons, and create au impression that officers returning from foreign service come home at their own cost, or that officers invalided home had been treated different from auy other officers returning from other parts of the world. The War-office had, in fact, no option in the matter, as officers came home under strict rules. The officer did not come home at his own ex pense, but was landed free of cost in his own country. The only circumstances he thought the question related to was the detention on the voyage, and the cost of land travelling from the port at which they were landed to their own homes. He thought the rule did bear hardly upon those officers who return home in ill health, who, he thought, ought to be sent free of cost to their own homes. (Hear, hear.) He had to inform the hon. and gallant member that a new rule was at present under consideration which would effect such an object. CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill, com mencing at clause 17. Mr MILL moved to add to the end of the clause the following words :—"And it shall be competent for any such commission to inquire into corrupt practices at pre vious municipal elections within the county or borough as fully as into corrupt practices at previous parliamentary elections." Mr. DODSON said the amendment could not be enter tained, as the bill related to parliamentary and not muni cipal elections. The amendment was then altered by the hon. gentleman to the effect that the commission might inquire how far corrupt practices at previous municipal elections had con duced to the corrupt practices at parliamentary elections. Mr. DODSON suggested that the most convenient course for the hon. gentleman would be to bring forward the clause on the bringing up of the report, which was agreed to. Mr. BOUVERIE, on clause 18, moved as an amendment that it should rest with the judge who tried the petition to say whether, bribery and corruption having been com mitted, a commission of inquiry ought to i3suo ; and, if such should be done, then the commission should at once be appointed. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL opposed the amendment, but said it'would be quite opm to the hon. member to raise the question upon the bringing up of the report. Mr. MONTAGU CHAMBERS and Mr. NEATE both thought it was throwing a very unpleasant duty upon the judges. They, however, thought the sending out of a commission ought to depend on the result of the inquiry. The amendment was negatived without a division. On clause 23 being proposed, which set forth the mode of service of the petition, Mr. BOUVERIE asked whether the service of the petition was to be by tapping on the shoulder, like the service of a writ. (Laughter.) The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he never knew that the tapping on the shoulder was necessary to the ser vice of any writ. The clause was agreed to. On clause 26, Mr. M. CHAMBERS moved an amendment to set aside the monopoly of Messrs. Gurney in the shorthand writing of the House of Commons. Mr. GLADSTONE supported the clause as it stool, as he thought the work at present very well done. lie would, however, suggest to the right hon. gentleman the propriety of making the bill one for a limited period of time. Mr. DISRAELI said that was the intention of the Go vernment. They proposed that it should be limited in its operation to three years. Mr. M. CHAMBERS said his object in moving the amendment he had given notice of was that the gentle men who actually performed the work should get the whole of the remuneration paid for it, without a profit being made out of their labour by other parties. The clause was ultimately agreed to, as was the next three clauses. On clause 30 being proposed, Mr. LOWTIIER said he thought that where the result of any inquiry should be thought frivolous and vexatious the cost should be thrown on the petitioner ; but if cor ruption was proved, then the cost should be upon the locality. He moved an amendment to that effect. The house divided, when there_appeared— For the amendment 67 Against it Majority against Clauses up to 42 were agreed to with some verbal amendments. Upon clause 43 being proposed, Mr. MILL moved the following amendment :—" And in the case of any such petition where any corrupt practice is charged to have taken place, and where the court or judge has decided that any corrupt practice has been proved, the court or judge shall have power to order any portion or the whole of the costs, charges, and expenses to bo defrayed by any party or parties who may have been proved guilty of corrupt practices, or by the county or borough, in the same manner as expenses incurred in the registration of voters for the county or borough, regard being had to the importance of securing the best efforts of the county or borough for repression of corrupt practices.* The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed the amendment, its by it a person actually hundreds of miles away might be chart;: `1 with bribery, and cast in costs without his being aware that the charge had been made. Such a principle was most objectionable. '!'he amendment was negatived. Mr. MILL then moved that the words t prat: lie inserted in the clause instead of the wort.: " bribery." The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said it was a most im portant amendment, and he could not consent to inflict the heavy penalties enacted by the bill upon persons who Might merely be found guilty of treating or undue in fluence. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE hoped the Government would not consent to the amendment, as a man might as well be transported for seven years as sent from that houso for seven years for giving a voter a glass of ale. (Laughter.) Mr. FAWCETT hoped the hon. member would per severe with his amendment. He looked upon treating as bad as bribery, and undue influence much worse, because it was so wean. Tho house then divided, when there appoarea— For the amendment Against it 175 Majority against Mr. POWELL then moved an amendment to the effect that in place of a candidate being convicted of bribery or undue influence being condemned as incapable of sitting in the House of Commons for seven years, he should be precluded from sitting in the House of Commons for such county or borough during the Parliament then in exist ence. Ho was not disposed to give such extensive powers to a single judge. A man ought not to be subjected to such horrible panisihrtieut—(laughter)—and ,be deprived Qi all that made life worth living for—(laughter)—a seat in Parla ment. (Laughter.) lie really did not see the cause for the mirth of the house (laughter) —ho hoped those who see►ned to enjoy the matter would not vote against his amendment. Sir E. PALMER said that by the bill a candidate was by the present clause made irresponsible for the acts of his agents. Ile sit uid like to know if that was the inten tion of the framers of the present clause to prevent a can didate being found guilty of bribery by his agents-- (hear, hear)—if not, it was absolutely necessary to have it so stated i❑ the bill. The SOLIGITOR-GENERA.L said there was no inten tion to repeal the law with respect to a candidate being found guilty of bribery by his agents. lie would see that that omission was remedied before the report was brought up. The house remained in committeo on the bill up to seven o'clock, at which hour the sitting was suspended until nine. The evening sitting, by previous arrangement, had been devoted to the remaining Civil Service Estimates, but the first hcur and a half was occupied by the usual prelimi nary discussions, and these, as this was uuderstood to be the last supply night of the session, appeared in great force on the notice paper, though most of them were with drawn. The first and most important related to the extent, cost, and classification of the Civil Service, which was canvassed by Mr. CIIILDERS in an interesting speech. From the numerous statistics which he quoted, it appears that we pay in salaries to the strictly Civil Services .£10,839,000 (ex clusive of £1,601,000 for suporannuations), and this he Showed to be £2,000,000 more than the salaries of the Army and Navy Departments, and considerably higher than the corresponding expenditure in the French and American Budgets. After illustrating the rapid in crease in the cost of our Civil Service by a comparison of the present strength of the princiiil departments with the year 1853, and premising that he looked for reduction, not in diminution of salaries, but in reduction of staff, Mr Childers indicated what he held to bo the chief defects in our present system. First of all, came the entire want of classification of salaries: next, the absence of distinction between those who worked with their hands and with their brains; next, the want of systematic control over the expenditure of the departments ; and, lastly, the un sound system of superannuation. Under the second head he hinted a doubt whether the system of com petitive examination had not been carried so far that in the lower grades we occasionally got men who wore too good for their work, which ended in a demand and an ultimate concession of higher salaries. For rerne d'Al measures he suggested a better system of classifica tion, and suporannuations (which he held were often granted to men who would serve just as readily without them) ; a clear intimation to the public servants that if they would agree to a reduction their salaries would bo improved, and a more effective Parliamentary support of the Treasury in its attempts to carry out financial reforms in the departments would be given. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER excused himself for not going at length into the subject by the necessity of getting through supply as rapidly as possible, but while agreeing with much of Mr. Childers's speech, he pointed in extenuation of the increased cost of the Civil Service to the many new duties which had been imposed on it. It was also necessary to take into ac count the march of luxury and refinement, which led both to increase of salaries, and increase in the num bers of persons employed. Another cause was the luke warm support the Treasury got from the house in its en deavours to control the other departments, and he con curred entirely with Mr. Childers that competitive exami nation in the lower grades occasionally brought in men who w,re above their work. As to the system of classifi cation, Mr. Hunt feared that with due regard to vested interests it could not be carried out for a generation. By that time some new idea might have sprung up, and per haps, on the whole, it would be best to let well alone. Sir J. C. JERVOISE made a motion which he did not press, to abolish the departments of Public Health, Cattlo Plague, and Quarantine, to which the Chancellor of the Exchequer replied that the Treasury was considering tho vossibffity of reducing the veterinary department, and if the Foreign Cattle Market Bill were passed no doubt con siderable economies would be feasible. The position of the Royal Irish Academy and some other minor subjects were mentioned, and the house then went into committee of supply. Class 2 of the Civil Service Estimates was agreed to, as were also Supplementary Estimates to cover the Portpa trtck Railway Compensation, the compensation for the destruction of property by the Clerkenwell Explosion (£20,500), and the expenses of accelerating the Registra tion (£10,000). The ouly remaining vote for the Army Retirement Scheme was postponed until Thursday. The Public Schools Bill was considered, and Mr. Wal pole introduced some new amendments in it. Some other bills were forward3d a stage, and the house adjourned at five minutas past two o'clock. TROUT BREEDING IN VERII-04.VT. A correspondent of the Spring field Republican says—" As much attention has lately been called to the matter of fish breeding, a sketch of a late visit to the private trout ponds of J. C. Bridgman of Bellows Falls, Vermont, may be of interest. Mr. Bridgman is a retired lawyer, living on a farm a little from the centre of the village. The numerous springs on his property suggested to him the feasi bility of fish-raising as a means to his own gratifi cation ; but his experience of only one year has taught him that profit can be combined with plea sure. From seven to twelve beautiful springs come welling up at the base of the mountain where his house stands, and he has converted his back-yard into ponds of living water,' the successive ponds being filled with fishes according to size. As 'dogs eat dog,' so trout eat trout, and it is necessary for their safety to keep those of the same age by them selves. A trout will swallow his brother of two thirds his own size. The ponds are all connected by sluices, which are covered with wire gauze, for the double purpose of protecting the fish and catch ing all leaves and sticks. In pond No. 1 are 3,000 large trout, from five to twelve inches in length ; the pond is no larger than a good-sized parlour, and to see these beauties swimming about would make an old fisherman nervous. They are as tame as gold fish, and make the prettiest of pets. In all the ponds, some eight in number, are 50,000 trout, of all ages, from three weeks to as many years ; and Mr. Bridgman expects to have 500,000 by another year. The modus operandi of trout-raising may be of interest to the uninitiated. Trout begin to lay their eggs (spawn) about the Ist of November, and for this purpose they seek the head waters of brooks, the better to insure safety for the spawn, the female being always accompanied by the male on these tours. Only a Fart of the spawn are ripe at a time, and it takes about ten days for a female to be rid of all of her spawn, during which time their escort remains with them. The spawn are pressed out by the female swimming rapidly along the rocky bed of the stream. In her wake follows the male, im pregnating the ova of the female. A raceway has been built by Mr. Bridgman to which the fish have access; and as they enter this in the spawning season are caught, and the spawn are pressed out with the finger and into the impregnat ing pan filled with pure, spring water. Then the milt of the male is put in to impregnate it. It is estimated that the spawn of a good sized trout con tains 1,000 eggs, but Mr. Bridgman's e x p er i ence has taught him that the figure is nearer 2,000. The milt of one male is sufficient to impregnate the spawn of five fish of the same size ; 15 grains of milt will impregnate 10 , 000 eggs, yet in practice - 1 1 more is used. The eggs weigh one grain --nee 1-6th of an inch in diameter. each and L nan the spawn is placed in . From the im pregnat gravel-filled trap n d laid ra the troughs of the in; hatching house--a house domble hoarsen and saw dust lined. Over these trays is conducted a pi:9e stream of pure spring water, filtered through several thicknesses of flannel, and then of a filter of gravel. During the entire process the eggs are not allowed contact with the atmosphere. Nothing now re mains to be done except to see that no harm comes to the eggs and to remove such as spoil. The water has an even temperature of 45 degrees, and it takes from 40 to 75 days for the hatching process. Jack and Dick,' two handsome cubs of two months' growth, form an additional attraction to Mr. Bridgman's grounds. They were captured near his house on the mountain, but not till after a desperate struggle with the mother.---11." llornintan's Pure Teas are Bd. per pound cheaper.

Bright was presented with an address. , 3 Mr. Mucarr, in responding to the addiews, spoke of the changes which took place in Ireland since' his visit to ihoi country, now twenty years ago, and referred to thet famine and pestilence that took place durmg the period ) and the emigration, which he described akunexampled. He referred to the state of the people as instanced by the investigations of the Devon Commission and held that because the population was reduced by emigration it was not to be said there were not cthei causes of discontent that required to be abrogated. In England they were so familiar with the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland that it excited no surprise or discussion, at least on the Treasury bench. He touched upon the arrests and imprisonment of parties under the Act referred to, and the large military and police force c::isting in the country. The latter he characterised as 011 armed force that ought not to exist in the country. Ile spoke of the discontent existing, and of the looking to the West for that sympathy they did not expect from Eng7and. Speaking of the opinions of those in theroom who either held that not], ing would redeem Ireland but Repeal of the Union or total independence, he asked the meeting tc listen to him, adding that an Act which the Parliament of the United Kingdom could pass it could also repeal, Ireland, like every other country in Europe, had a right tl desire national independence, but the time had not yet c')lne for the discussion of that subject, but he offered to Ireland the reciprocity of sentiment of his countrymen. The members of a great and noble empire should share in its glory and prosperity. He suggested to the Imperial Parliament to undo the legislation of the last 200 years, without doing any great injury to the ecclesiastical arrangements of the country, so as not to affect individual interests. He referred to the land question, and said his plan was to restore to the farming classes a proprietary right without any spoliation of the interests of the present owners of the soil. Speaking of the Established Church, he said it was to the earnest, thoughtful, and honestly. minded Protestants in the country that argument was to be addressed, and were he addressing a similar number of those men as the meeting was composed of, he would ask the= if they approved of the ecclesiastical settler ment of the country made 300 years ago, or whether the present state of the country was satisfactory ? He believed that their answer would be in the negar tive. He referred to the Church population of the country, which he believed to be about 50,000. He esti., mated the revenues of the Church Establishment at £600,000 yearly. Now, the episcopal population of Ire land was not greater than the population of Liverpool or Glasgow, and imagine if the Government were to provide £600,000 a year for the religious services of the population of either Liverpool or Glasgow, would it not be considered as emanating from the brain of a man bordering on lunacy ? (Laughter.) He next applied himself to the question as to whether the Protestants of Ireland formed the national majority, and whether the, Church tended to maintain the Union. He said he looked on it as a standing army, and that it tended more to foster rebellion and revolution than peace and concord in the country. (Cheers.) He looked on the; Church as stimulating a hostility against itself and against the English that maintained it, and by whom it was; established and promoted, and that he repeated without fear of dispute, or that anyone could prove to the contrary, that the Established Church in Ireland was anti-Protestant by reason of its unnatural position, and it was as much anti-English as it was anti-Irish, belause it made it impossible that the Irish people should be in perfect harmony with English rule in their country. (Cheers)., Speaking to the argument that the Established Church, would suffer by disestablishment and disendowmcnt, he referred to the agitation at the time of the repeal o: the corn laws, when it was feared the landed interest would suffer, but now that question was laid by for ever by those formerly in fear and doubt. He also referred to the repeal of the taxes on knowledge to maintain his . argument that, instead of s uff e ri n g, th e Established Church, on the contrary, would be the gainer by being dissevered from State control and from its present, bondage. (Hear, hear.) The hon. gentleman pro ceeded to say that what was proposed to be done with the Church here was that existing in the colonies and Great Britain and Ireland under the voluntary system. With an experience of what he saw surrounding them, the members of the Established Church might take consolation ; and he believed that what took place under the voluntary system in other Churches could take place with their own, so that, instead of being fettered by the State, there would grow up here, though small, a strong and compact religious community, and they would be fostered in their position by the sympathy held towards them by community of interests existing on the strength they .possessed and derived from the feeling that they held their position as a Church believing in the faith they possessed. (Applause.) It was a poor faith that clung to the State for aid, and they were not the courageous ministers believing that Christ was the head of their Church, and yet were afraid to march out under His banner, but would not look for its freedom now that they had seen its state in its present bondage. Passing to the . resolution adopted in the present session of Parliament, lie said that that was a sentence which would be confirmed by greater numbers in the ensuing Parlia ment. He then asked them, would Ireland make a great and stupendous effort to carry out the resolution of the present Parliament in the new House of Commons? (Cries of " Yes, yes.") Let him exhort them, and every other elector, whether in county or borough, not to let the question drop, but to unite, and when the question came to 130 decided, once for all see that each placed the constitutional power of his vote in the hands of men who would not give an occasional vote to sustain that party in Power that was wholly hostile to him. (Applause.) This was not a time for choosing. The question before them was really the question of the moment ; and how could the people of England and Scotland, many of them as they knew with great prejudices of the question of their own Church —how could they ask them to make the sacrifice, of call on them if they were not themselves standing firmly upon it ? (Cheers.) The hon. gentleman concluded as follows :—We are met in the city of the violated treaty— , (cheers)— violated as I admit incessantly during almost centuries of time. Let us make a new treaty; not on parchment, not bound with an oath. Its commission should be this—justice on the part of Great Britain ; for. giveness on the part of Ireland. (Cheers.) It should bo written in the hearts of three nations, and they should pray to the common Father of all, in whose hands were the desCn'es of nations and of States, that He would make it last for ever and ever. (Tremendous cheering, amid, which Mr. Bright resumed his seat.) 13URGLARY AT CUMBERLAND LODGE, 'WINDSOR PARK. --On Sunday morning a serious and daring burglary was committed at Cumberland Lodge, Windsor Great' Park, the residence of Viscount Bridport, Equerry to her, Majesty. An entry into the drawing-room was made through a window which had been pushed up, and the shutters cut by the burglars. The thieves took a,' large amount of valuable property, including a silver trowel: presented to Lady Mary Hood upon the occasion of her . ladyship laying the foundation - stone of old Windsor Church, a silver-gilt spoon and fork presented to one of Viscount Bridport's children by her Majesty, several gold, tops of smelling-bottles, gold pencil-cases, about thirty new sixpences, &c. After unscrewing the back of a chro-' nometer once belonging to Lord Nelson, the burglars left' it behind them, together with a " jemmy," stamped with_ the letters " J. 8." THE NEW REFORM ACT. —A correspondent who has taken the trouble to submit a case to counsel has received the following reply : 1. In my' opinion the overseers have to make out only the list of county voters enfranchised by the Act of 1867 in respect of the occupation of premises, and the old mew; pation franchises have to be attended to as hitherto, and claimed on or before the 20th of July (see Sec. 37 of 2 Wm. IV., c. 45.) 2. Persons entitled to property for a life or lives, under such a lease as is referred to, of the clear yearly value of not less than £5 above all rents or charges prya,ble- in respect of the same, are entitled to the franchise ; but the provisions of Sec. 26 of 2nd Win. IV., c. 45, must be complied with, and they, must deliver or transmit their claims to the overseers on or before the 20th July (Sec. 37 of the same Act). Of course a person entitled to such life leasehold property, for a period less than life, or than the residue of a term not less originally than sixty years, would not be entitled to a vote."
