Ap . • It is understood that Lord Stanle oen 011.4 . ` abolition of the system under which cle s kris* Office act as agents for members of the , - consular service, charging about one per c . foreir trouble. It appears that there are five clerks who act as agents, and one of them thus receives about £225 a year, a second about £5OO, a third above £7OO, and the two others more than £1,300 a year each. The profit of agency may greatly exceed the public salary, and so much is at stake that it is no matter of surprise that the agents have submitted to the Secretary of State a defence of the practice. It would certainly appear at first sight objec tionable, but it has been stated by official persons, who must know, that practically it does not interfere with the official service, and that it has its advantages in maintain. ing a friendly feeling between the Foreign Office and the public servants abroastkpreventing the Secretary of State being personally troub d unnecessarily about minor details, and furnishing hii with a convenient mode of conveying friendly caution an -*co which he may not choose to send officially. The agent lies not merely receive and transmit his principal's salary and contingent allowances, but transmits also his private letters, and executes various little commissions which he has from time to time to send to England ; and, in fact, several gentle men have stated that the work they get done for them is more than adequate to the charge made. The employ. ment of a Foreign Office agent is described as optional. The practice has existed for a long period, and has attracted the attention of various committees and commissions on subjects bringing before them the conduct of business in the Foreign Office. So long ago as 1785 a commission of inquiry expressed an opinion adverse to the agency system, but their recommendations were submitted to the then Secretaries of State, and these saw no substantial objection to the practice ; and the Order in Council made confirmed such regulations of the office as were approved by the Secretaries of State. It is part of the case for the clerks that Foreign Secretaries and Under Secretaries have up held the system when objections have come from without. In 1816 Lord Castlereagh framed regulations for the guidance of those concerned in the agencies. A commis sion on public offices in 1836 condemned the practice ; and in 1840 Sir F. Baring proposed that it should be abolished, but Lord Palmerston " was not prepared to concur in the proposal." On that occasion Mr. Backhouse stated that the system of fgencies contriblited 'essesSielly to the con venient despatch of the business of the office. The present apology 'for the practice concludes by presenting a claim for compensation if a system so long sanctioned is to be abolished. 2 THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH. 14, 1868. PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED sd. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT BANK OF ENGLAND, 10th March, 1868. THE COURT of DIRECTORS of the GOVERNOR and COMPANY of the BANK of ENGLAND give notice— That a GENERAL COURT will be held at the BANK on THURSDAY, the 19th inst., at Twelve o'clock pre cisely, to consider of a Dividend. Also, that another GENERAL COURT will be held at the BANK on TUESDAY, the 14th April next, from Eleven o'clock in the Forenoon until Four in the After noon, for the Election of a GOVERNOR and DEPUTY GOVERNOR for the year ensuing (which will be declared that evening); and the same COURT will be continued by Adjournment, and held at the same place and during the same hours on WEDNESDAY, the 15th April next, for the Election of Twenty-four DIRECTORS (which will also be one of the Quarterly General Courts ap pointed by the Charter), and the Election of the Twenty four Directors will be declared as soon as the Scrutiny is over. and other . steps of repression, but it would be a most for tunate thing if from that evil good was to result, and that tho -matter had terminated in the whole state of CIA country being considered with a view to its im provement; but he must say that he thought all consi deration would ba useless which did not deal with the great: problem which was at the bottom of all—viz., the State Church in Ireland. That a better state of things was in store for the country ho felt certain, and nothing showed the real state of feeling of the well-disposed people in that country than the conduct of the Irish juries during the late Fenian prosecutions. (Hear, hear.) The right lion. gentleman then proceeded to allude to the system of e ducation pursued in Ireland, and remarked that the proposition of her Majesty's G , )- vernment with respect to university education in that country was such that ho thought it ought not to meet with hasty hostility, although it was one that was calculated to startle some people. It was his great desire to see the University of Dublin become a truly national institution, and the best results, ho believed, would follow if that institution became un sectarian. Whilst he said that he thought some atten tion ought to be given to the wants of other educational establishments not touched by the proposal of the Go vernment. With respect to the tenure of land in Ireland, it was a subject of the greatest difficulty, and he did hope that in any proposal that was made to place it on a more improved basis the hon. member for Cork and those who acted:with him would not give to every proposal that was not entirely in consonance with the feelings they entertained their most determined opposition. It was not by pursuing such a course that any amelioration could be arrived at, but, by a mutual concession much good might be done ; but he must say that he could not see that any very great good could result from the commission of inquiry. With respect to land in Ireland, because it seemed to him the commission was mainly for the purpose of enabling the landlords of Ireland to clear their characters from the chaige - s t6t Yid been ?nide against them-.by the hon. members for Westminster, Birminghani, and other places. The great point to be considered was the mode under which land was held in Ireland. It was not to bo expected that a tenant would ever rest contended and satisfied when it was possible to turn the result of all his labour and improvement against himself. Ho knew that change of rental was very frequent in Ireland, and in one instance that was within his recollection, no less than seven changes in the amount of rent had been made in a period of ten years. That was not a state of things that ought to exist, and that opinion was shared by one of the largest and most benevolent land managers in Ireland—a high Conservative too—who was of opinion that in no case ought the amount of rent to be varied in less than 21 years.

The prisoner pleaded not guilty. During the time occupied by the trial he exhibited great anxiety, and at times there were seen traces of strong emotion in his face. This was especially so when Mr. Campbell Foster, in opening the case for the prosecution, announced that Mr. Plow was dead. Sir G. N. M'KENNA commented upon the anomalies in the system of Irish taxation, which he held amounted to practical injustice. With regard, however, to the Ministerial programme, he approved, as a Roman Catholic, of the offer of the university made to his co-religionists, and recommended them to accept it, reminding them that the Whigs had never offered them anything so liberal. Mr. Campbell Foster and Mr. Addison were for the prosecution ; the prisoner was defended by Mr. J. B. Torn. After Mr. Foster had made his opening statement, he proeeeded to call witnesses. - 22 Subscribers will have the option at any time of pre paying the above instalments under discount for the inter vals at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum. Scrip Certificates will be issued on allotment exchange able for Stock when fully paid up. Mr. Binells, architect, and Mr. Cockcroft gave the same evidence they had given before the magistrates. The deposition of the Rev. Mr. Plow was read by the officer of the court. , _... __..... li.l . . i C ..

TUE POOR LAW BOARD.—Sir Michael Hicks Beach has accepted the office of Parliamentary Secretary to the Poor Law Bond. The Duke of ARGYLL said that ho now rose to speak upon that subject upon which he gave notice some days ago. That subject was ono which was so cutting and so injurious to the feelings of the people, that it became necessary that it should be investigated into. In terms which were severe, but not more severe than they deserved to be, his noble friend (Eerl Russell) had disclaimed any confidence in a Goverument which had pursued the course adopted by the present Govern ment. The chief Minister of the Crown had adopted a peculiar course in this matter. Ile had written a letter to the Times about the matter. He must say that the Tory party were a very good-natured party, and if the right hon. gentleman had been on the Liberal side of the house, and had uttered these remarks about "being educated," a great number of justly indignant men would have gone into the Cave of Adullatn. (hear, hear.) It considered that if these five points in this letter were to be taken as the theory of the Conservative party, he thought that it was the duty of the Liberals to protest against them. He should take the Edinburgh ono as it had been made. He would, however, do the right hon. gentleman the justice to admit that he did say by the word "I" " I do not mean myself, but the Government to which I belong." Ha should lightly in his remarks pass over the 4th clause, but should speak at some length on the sth. The first clause asserted that the bill must be complete. With regard to tpis Clause it was by persuading the minds of the members V/the house that they, the Liberal party, intended to bring on one point in one house and another point in the other house. The peculiarity of their bill was that they did not wish to abrogate the smaller boroughs, but letting them down gently in order that they might be amalgamated with others. The third point was that there should be a real Boundary Commission, but this question had never been mooted between the two parties, and if the right hon. gentleman for seven years had been instilling this into the minds of the people he must have had an uncommonly easy task. The next point was the distribution of seats in the country, but this was not at all a serious point. These were the four points which, it was argued, the Con servatives had been pressing upon the people. He now come to the fifth point, which was formed by the borough franchise upon the rates, and this was really the serious point upon which the parties had boon at issue. (Haar, hear.) The great question was not that they should take the votes by the vote book, or in any other way, for all the Liberal Government had introduced a rateable franchise. Ia 1859 they might have considered that the borough franchise should be reduced, but Mr. Disraeli, when he left office, reverted to his former opinion. Ho had asked Lord Darby's Government —" Will you or will you not reduce the borough franchise ?" The noble duke then quoted extracts from Mr. Disraeli which stated that he had not altered his opinion on the subject of Reform, and that he wits for a lateral extension of the franchise. (Hear, hear.) On one occasion he said that it was the impartial opinion of the country that they rejected a gross and indiscriminating reduction of the franchise. The noble duke said the last time on which the right hon. gentleman had been educating the people he said that this point was a mere blind by which they first succeeded in duping their own party, and then a large portion of the house. It was a remarkable fact that the bill passed last year contained no per sonal payment of rates. It was a mere delusion, and contained precisely the same clause as that of the Reform Bill of 1832, and that clause was perfectly inoperative. It was to test the solvency of the debtors, but generally the course was that no notice was taken of the non-payment of the rates, or else it was takenn advantage of politically by the landlord, or the electioneering agents, and they paid the rate. The clause of last year was of the same description as that of the Reform Bill. It was meant that the poorest votes should have an independent vote by the personal payment of rates, but in reality it was not so. The noble duke then went into a statistical detail of the position of the towns of Leicester and Exeter with regard to the pay ment of rates, and said that if they would look into the records of Lord Grey's ministry, they would find that so keen was political contest that the owners of property in those towns had agreed to pay their tenants, and they were immediately put upon the register, and this result would accrue from this rating clause of the bill of 1867. In ad dition to that, in those municipal towns where the land lord had no political feeling it would bring the most cruel and unjust effects upon the municipal authorities where the tenants were allowed to pay the rates. In the east of London it was proved in the appeals against the rates that that landlords had not reduced the rent, and thus the additional rate fell upon the poor. In the district of Hack ney 1,000 to 2,000 summons had been issued. Rather than pay the rates every class of labourers and mechanics was giving up housekeeping. In Salisbury each family had a separate holding, but this rating system would compel many to take lodgings. The LORD CHANCELLOR lucidly explained the nature and effect of the ratepaying clauses of the Reform Act, and administered a sharp rebuke to the noble duke for occupying the time of the house with criticisms upon what, after all, was only a post-prandial oration. He pro ceeded with much vigour to animadvert upon the charges which had been brought by Earl Russell on the occasion referred to against the conduct of Lord Derby's Govern ment, denied that these charges had either point or accu racy, and indignantly repudiated the conclusion which had been drawn by Lord Russell from his own unsup ported premises. Earl RUSSELL said that the speech of the Lord Chan cellor was eminently ingenious, though it had altogether omitted to answer the charges of the Duke of Argyle. lie , then proceeded to descant upon the advantages of com pounding for rate ; the hardship of imposing upon the poorer classes of occupiers the'r personal payment; and predicted that the new Parliament would speedily alter the firm and solid ground which Ministers last year boasted they had discovered to rest the borough franchise upon. Lastly, the noble earl justified his charges against the Government, declaring that their conduct with respect to Reform had been unworthy of high-minded statesmen, and repeated his comments on the speech of the Premier at Edinburgh. The Earl of MALMESBURY complained that under the pretext of putting a question with respect to the com pounding for rates Earl Russell had seized the opportu nity to direct an attack, without notice, against persons who could not be present to defend themselves. It was unworthy of noble lords to make attacks which only a dis appointed Opposition would think of conducting. He vindicated the conduct of Ministers, and argued that they had only at last succeeded in settling the Refor►,m question by treating it no longer as one of party politics, but by consulting the house itself on the subject of its own re construction. The result was that the bill which had been passed was more the work of the Commons than of her Majesty's Government. If the measure inflicted hardship upon a certain class of occupiers he was sure it would be considered and redressed, and with that end in view the matter was now being investigated by a committee of the other house. After some observations from Earl Grey, Earl Granville, and the Earl of Devon, the subject dropped, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAsT EVENING, The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND. In reply to Mr. CRAWFORD, The LORD ADVOCATE said it was the intention of the Government to introduce a measure on this subject during the present session. PARTY PROCESSIONS IN IRELAND. In reply to Colonel lirrox, The Earl of MAYO said in October last 23 persons pleaded guilty at Downpatrick of an infringement of the Party Procession Act. The men were allowed to go at large on their own recognisances, they promising not to offend the law. The others refused to plead guilty ; they were tried and convicted, when Mr. Johnson, of Bally kilbeg, who was one of them, asked that the other two men might be liberated like the others, as they had acted under his direction. Mr. Johnson's memorial went to the Lord-Lieutenant, who referred it to the judge, but that learned gentleman said as the memorial did not come from the prisoners themselves, but from a prisoner who aaked no favour for himself, it was returned to the person sending it as informal. The informality being remedied, the men were allowed to go at largo on their own recogni sances, but as Mr. Johnson had stated that he could ask no favour for himself, he had therefore to undergo the sentence passed upon him, which was a month's imprison ment for that offence, and another month for his refusal to enter into his own recognisances to abstain from doiu g as he had done for the future. STATE OF IRELAND—THE ADJOURNED DEBATE. The adjourned debate on the motion of Mr. MAGITIRE was resumed this evening by Mr. C. FORTESCU.E, who said the mind of England had now ripened on tho condition of Ireland, and it being considered intolerable. The Fonian organisation had been, up to the present, productive of but bad results; it had led to the euspenain Qt the kiebeae c0r1 3 14 AGt The 0110NOGHUE described the condition of Ireland as one of wide-spread and alarming dissatisfaction, to be traced chiefly to the circumstance that Irishmen were not allowed to manage their own affairs. They had lost con fidence in Parliament, and had either sunk into despair or were patiently waiting until a gleam of hope should en able them to assert the shattered dignity of their country. It was impossible to convert Ireland into an English county, and equally impossible to restore contentment until the tenant had security for his improvements, and until the Established Church and every other badge of as cendancy was for ever extirpated. Lord C. HAMILTON, in a characteristic speech, ex pressed his opinion that all the woes of Ireland were en tailed upon her by grievance-mongers and professional agitators. _ _ _ Mr. H. A. HERBERT, as an Irish landlord, avowed himself willing and anxious to give leases to his tenants and declared that, as a Protestant himself, he was prepared to vote to-morrow for the abolition of the Established Church. He denied that Ireland was retrograding in ma terial prosperity. Mr.NEWDEGATE, as might be expected, directed his speech chiefly to the proposition for a Catholic University, which ho denounced as a dangerous innovation, calcu lated to alienate yet more Catholic Ireland from Protes tant England, by encou-aging Ultramontarre pi:nciples and clerical domination. With respect to the land scheme of the Government he was prepared to give it a general support. Mr. BRIGHT regarded the condition of Ireland with sorrow and anxiety, for ho could not bring himself to be lieve that there must not be something radically wrong in the condition of a country which was always ripe for re volution. This great effect must have some cause, and the House of Commons would be unworthy of its mission if it did not endeavour to discover that cause and supply a remedy. The land and the Church were at the root of all the mischief. In reference to the former, he would not do anything by law which could in fringe the rights of property, but he insisted that the landlords of Ireland had grievously mistaken their own interests. If the Government were to raise money at 3i per cent. and purchase Irish estates, to be divided among tenant-farmers, who would pay 5 per cent. for 31 years, tenant right would be secured, and each tenant would at the expiration of that time become the freeholder of the land he had tilled. In this manner the "land difficulty' might be adjusted. As far as the project for a Catholic University was concerned, ho looked upon it as most un statesmanlike and impolitic. It was a tentative pro posal, which, if accepted by the Catholics, will doubt less be used hereafter as another buttress to the Established Church in the shape of a bribe. The proposal was grotesque and imbecile, and nobody was disposed to have anything to do with it. It reminded him of the pills sold by an itinerant doctor (not a Cabinet Minister, but only a mountebank) which were "good against the earthquake." In Ireland there was a social and political earthquake, and the doctors on the Treasury bench proscribed a Catholic charter, which Catholics would not accept, and which Protestants would not sanc tion. Alluding to the State Church in Ireland, he looked upon it as virtually doomed and at an end. Ile thought the time was rapidly coming when all endowments must he withdrawn, and religious equality be established upon a purely voluntary principle. The Catholic, the Pro testant, and the Presbyterian Church could then have a fair start, and there would be no more supremacy or ascendancy. He implored the house to approach the consideration of this subj , ct in a kind and conciliatory spirit. If they would but surrender their prejudices and subdue their antipathies, the dark and heavy cloud which lowered over Ireland would soon be dispelled, and the sun of prosperity would shine upon a free and happy people. _ _ The debate was brought to a conclusion by Sir STAF FORD NORTHOOTE, who argued that the Church of England and Ireland were one and the same, and that it would be impossible to disendow the one without eventu ally confiscating the property of the other. He admitted the State had a right to inquire into the manner in which the Church had hailed its mission ; but he denied that the endowments of the Church were the property , of the nation, and he challenged the equity of preferring an in dictment before evidence had been collected and a case had been made out, taunting the leaders of the Opposition with not having applied themselves to redress the grievances and anomalies of which they now complained. The right hon. baronet observed that the late Government would have dealt with it, but that upon consideration they found they could not do so with safety. The policy to to adopted towards Ireland should be one of • a healing and not of an irritating character, and, above all, should be animated by a strict sense of justice. On the motion of Mr. MONSELL, the debate was ad journed shortly before midnight until Monday. The other business on the paper was disposed of, and the House adjourned until Monday. ACCIDENT IN THE CHANNEL. FOLKESTONE, March 11.—The Lord Warden, Captain Jenkins, the South-Eastern Railway Company's steamboat on the Folkestone and Boulogne station, left here at 12.30 to-day with 75 passengers, and met with some accident in mid channel, rendering her helpless. The Napoleon 111. Captain Paul, in the same service, which left Boulogne for Folkestone at 2.15 p.m., with 45 passengers, took the Lord Warden in tow back to Boulogne harbour. The Napoleon 111. will not leave Boulogne until the night tide, and is expected here soon after midnight. The special tidal train will not leave for London until about 1 o'clock. ..._ THE ABOLITION OF COMPOUNDING.—A public meeting of the inhabitants of Birmingham was held last night, under the presidency of the Mayor, to petition Parliament to repeal the ratepaying clauses of the Reform Act. The petition adopted embodied all the objections to the clauses in question, pointing out that by the abolition of compounding "individual injury is combined with class irritation, and an Act professedly for the enfranchisement of the people has become an instrument of social hardship and fiscal oppression." It is added that under the circum stances " the extension of the elective franchise to the poorer occupiers is now made conditional on their submis sion to a ruinous penalty, mad instead of a boon to be wel comed becnaes a plague to be avoided." There were at least 4,000 people:present. During a quarter of a century Horniman's Teas have had an immense sale, and as they are now 8d per pound Cheape r ; in consequence of the Reduced Daiy, the deman d d .1 ! doubtless be e ven further extended. Sold , secur e IWO • genuine aro oigucl dorniman and Co., L9uclon, Elizabeth Spinks was examined at great length, but her story did not differ from that she had previously told. Mary Hodgson, Margaret Ball, George Stansfield, and Mr. T. W. Eastwood were also examined about the inci dents of the crime. The prisoner's movements before the murder were spoken to by a man named S. W. Lord, who said pri soner and he were intimate, and the prisoner had re peatedly said to him that he did not like Mr. and Mrs. Plow and the deceased. On the night of the murder, a few minutes before ten o'clock, witness saw the prisoner on the county bridge, and noticed that he was wearing hi. best clothes. The prisoner said he had been off work a little bit ; that he had been four hours on the way, but did not say where from. Witness said, " Thou bast been to see her ;" but the prisoner did not reply. Witness asked him to walk with him, but prisoner declined, and said, " I should be a happy man if yon lass were in Todmorden? Witness advised him to get married and bring the girl to the town, and the prisoner replied, " Dost thou know it takes two to get married ?" They then parted at a spot a few hundred yards from the vicarage. Since Sarah left the vicarage the prisoner had not been as cheerful as h was before. By the Judge : Witness had associated closely with the prisoner for the last five years. Sarah Elizabeth Bell, the girl for whom the prisoner had conceived so violent an affection as to lead him to the terrible crime with which he had been charged, was next examined. She appeared to be suffering very much from dejection of spirits. Her story has already been reported, and the letters which have been already given were again read. The prosecution then put in the prisoner's statement before the committing magistrates, which was as follows : " I wish to say a few words, but it will all amount to nothing. When I began to keep company with Sarah, I thought I would act as an honourable man. I waited upon Mr. Plow one night when he was coming out of church, and told him I wanted to ask a favour which I hoped he would grant. I told him I wanted to keep company with Sarah, and when he asked me how long I had known her, I said I had had my eye on her ever since she came to Todmorden. He said that was quite natural. I asked him if he would grant me that favour, and he said, ' Oh, no, he could not think of such a thing.' I said I thought I would come and ask him in the right way, and I little thought he would deny me. I said also that I did not want to go whistling about the back yard, and that my intentions were good. He replied that he had always looked upon me as a respectable young man ; that Sarah was a good girl, and he would speak to his wife about it. I went to him a day or two afterwards, and he told me that he had talked the matter over with his wife, and they could not give their consent. He said they were both very well pleased with the honourable way in which I had acted, but they could not allow me to come into the house. I asked that Sarah might be allowed to come out to see me but he refused, and I saw it was no use asking for the privilege, but I was determined to go to th e h ouse, an d I did go until Jane told about us keeping company. A stop was then put to it. Since then I have been going to ruin, and ever will be. I will die like a dog; but, after all, I am glad Mr. and Mr 3. Pkw are living, and I hope they will forgive inc." This concluded the evidence for the prosecution, which Mr. Foster then summed up. Mr. Torr addressed the jury for the defence. He said the only defence he could suggest was that the prisoner committed the murder when he was under the influence of homicidal mania, and unaccountable for his actions. The very atrocity and magnitude of the horrible crime was proof that the prisoner's mind was diseased when he com mitted it. The number of weapons with which he had provided himself, the a'Anmations from the wildest passion to the gentleness of a child, which he chewed during his proceedings in the house, were proof that he had not gone about the commission of the crime in that cool and delibe rate manner in which a sane man, who had resolved to commit a murder regardless of consequences, would have conducted himself. The judge, in summing up, said the jury would not be justified, by anything that appeared in the evidence, in returning a verdict of not guilty on the ground of insanity. The plain rule. of law was, that if the prisoner knew at the time he committed the act that it was a wrongful act, he must be held to be responsible for the consequences. There was nothing at all inconsistent with the idea that the prisoner was a person who had nourished bad and vindic tive passions, and that his disea se was a moral and not a mental one. He (the learn e d judg e ) could see that the prisoner had nourished these bad passions against Mr. Plow and Jane Smith, became he believed they had separated him from his sweetheart ; but there was no proof whatever of aberration of mind, and the theory which one of the medical men had invented amounted to nothing. If that theory were accepted by the jury, he did not know what society would come to. The learned judge only occu pied twenty minutes in summing up. The jury, after two minutes' deliberation, found the prisoner guilty. Mr. Justice Lush, after assuming the black cap, addressed the convict as follows : " It would have been a deplorable thing if the jury had listened to the argu ments which were advanced on your behalf, and ac quitted you on the ground of insanity, for I can see no tittle of evidence from the beginning to the end that your mind was ever affected further then any man's mind and will are affected by cherishing had and vindictive passions. You have been most righteously found guilty of a murder which, in its accompaniments, is almost unparalleled in the history of crime. It looks like a mur derous onslaught of a wild savage rather than of a person brought up and nurtured in civilised life. How many . will be the victims of your outrage is not even yet ascertained. We know that two have died, and a third, I believe, is in that crime you must die. You have forfeited your country ; but the law will no t' dealt with your victims. Y ou w ill d y p e o e a u n [ w lliiftei:t° youo1: tli e as laws; u o f have time and opportunity for repentance, and I pray you to make use of it, with the aids that will be afforded you; and I pray also that, by Divine grace, your heart may, before you are launched into eternity, be softened to sincere repentance." The judge then passed sentence in the statutory form. When he came to the close he said, " And I say it in all sincerity, may the Lord have mercy upon you ! " The convict, who had gazed steadily at the judge whilst sentence was being pronounced, but appeared unmoved was then taken iron? ha; -
