',UP. ques, We now learn from the English Independent, just published, which is ah influential Dissenting organ, that the Dis .c -- seaters have made it a en qud non of their allegiance to the Liberal leaders that no portion of the funds of the Irish Church shall be devoted to the endowment of any other religious body. Our contemporary says that Mr. Bright's proposal was made without consulting his friends, and that the Dissenters cannot accept. " The Dis senters will not only prove faithful to their long-tried prin ciple, and demand the equal and complete disendowment of all Irish churches, but they will on so great an occa sion make it a condition of adhesion to the Liberal leaders that the proceeds of the disendowment shall not be applied in whole or in part to the ecclesiastical purposes of any religious body in Ireland whatsoever. The Nonconformists well comprehend the magnitude of the crisis. It can not escape them that the principles which determine the settlement of Irish Church questions will regulate the greater matter of the English Establishment when that comes on for decision. And therefore they have no intention of giving way at this juncture, either to meet the exigencies of Whig statesmanship, or to procure an earlier settlement of the Irish difficulty." THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH. 13, 1868. PRICE.— 4d. STAMPED sd. ing nature had come out relative to the position of land— lord and tenant, that it was absolutely necessary that they should have positive evidence of what the position of landlord and tenant really was. It appeared that the pay ment of the rents was perfectly regular in Ireland, and they could not wish for anything better in this country. With regard to evictions, it seemed that they only took place when a large amount of rent had accrued. It was admitted that now the relations between landlord and tenant were exceptionably good, and that the rents were regularly and even cheerfully paid. Wnat need, then, was there of further legislation, most especially when none of the evils complained of by the - Marquis of Clanricarde were met by the bill he introduced ? in Pai- iament, her taxation was lighter, and she received suiz.h la. rg-e assistance from the public funds that England m=ight .complain of being overtaxed for her benefit. As to• the laud question it was absurd to inveigh against the la w, which was the same in England and Ireland, and, tho ugh Ile had sat on many committees, he had never heard yet a case of landlord oppression which could be verified by dates or other circumstantial evidence. The syste m of small holdings was at the root of Irish ills, and vhile it prevailed to its present extent there must always be chronic poverty and discontent. The only remedy - war: to provide employment for the people besides a t :ricultura.l labour. That could only be done by the flow of copital i ite Ireland. If capital did not find its way there it wat the fault, not of Parliament, but of the friends of Ireland, like Mr. Maguire, who were perpetually cry ing out tint .t the country was in decay and threatening agitation. But it was this system of small holdings which Mr. dill proposed to stereotype. Mr. Lowe made a lively %rad humorous attack on Mr. Mill's pamphlet, and showed that it would aggravate all the evils of the present date of Ireland. The British Government, besides b sing a heavy loser in point of money, would become ,ten times more odious, by being placed in the position of landlord, and the peasantry would be inspired with a bul:ning desire to got rid of us, that they might have no more rent to pay. The holding of land was regu lated, not by laws, but by the condition of every country ; and oven if Mr. Mill's plan was adopted, the process of aggregation would soon recommence, or else the old evils of subletting and overcrowding would recur. Turning to the proposal to create a Roman Catholic University, he condemned it unreservedly as a concession not to the Roman Catholic laity, but to the Ultramontane hieralchy of Ireland. Far from being a sedative, nothing was more likely to do mischief. But he refused to believe that the Government was in earnest in this proposal; it was rather a pyrotechnic device which would sink into oblivion when it had served its purpose. Otherwise, it would not have been broached first to Parliament, and without previous communication with the Roman Catholic Bishops. He deeply regretted the determination not to touch the Irish Church. The revenues of the Church he held to be public property, of which Parliament was the trustee for the benefit of the Irish people at large ; and it was a scandal ous misappropriation to devote them exclusively to the re ligion of less than ten per cent. of the population. It was the last link of a galling fetter, and when we had swept it away we might boast that we had broken entirely with the wicked past. Lord LIFFORD supported the second reading of the Bill, and gave a vehement and most circumstantial denial of some of the statements in Mr. Stuart Mill's pamphlet on Ireland, which Lord Lifford maintained affected the per s,,nal character of the Marquis of Conyngham as a list or humane landlord. Lord MALMESBURY denied that any danger would result from what the Marquis of Clanricarde called the " roving commission" proposed by the Government. It was intended, by means of this commission, simply to as certain the truth of the allegations made against the Irish landlords, who had never yet been properly heard before a Parliamentary tribunal. As to the proposals of the Go vernment with regard to land tenure, he deprecated any discussion, upon measures yet in embryo, and, as far as he was aware, not yet printed. It was not to be supposed that the Government were hostile to the legislation pro posed by the Marquis of Clanricarde, and advantage might result from the re-appointment of tho select committee of their lordships' house on this subject. The Government would assent to the renewal of inquiry by this committee, and he hoped that all parties would for the present be sa tisfied with this concession. THE TRADES UNION COMMISSION. The weekly meeting of the Trades Unions Com missioners was held on Tuesday at 1, Park -prospect, Great Queen-street, Westminster. Present—Sir William Erle, chairman; Earl of Lichfield, Lord Eleho, M.P., Sir Daniel Gooch, M.P., Mr. Herman Merivale, Mr. James Booth, Mr. J. A. Roebuck, M.P., Mr. Frederic Rani son, and Mr. William Mathews ; Mr. J. C. Train, secre tary to the commission, was also present. The witnesses examined were Mr. Clay, of the Liver pool Steel Works ; Mr. Jones, of Gateshead, the secretary of the Northern Ironmasters' Association ; Mr. Elliot, a coal proprietor, having collieries in Northumberland, Durham, and South Wales ; and Mr. John Kane, the president of the Amalgamated Association of Operative Ironworkers. Lord LEITRIM, who was most indistinctly heard, as he spoke from the cross-benches, and therefor:, always with his back to the Reporters' Gallery, was understood to say that the main source of the agitation in Ireland was the legislation of the last half century. The bill was then read a second time and referred to a Select Committee. The other orders of the day wore then disposed of, and their Lordships adjourned. Mr. Jones, when called upon to give 'evidence, handed in a lengthy printed paper containing many statements and allegations against the ironworkers' Association and its interference with the business of the employers. Its main points were, that the wages in the iron trade in the North was not, as alleged by the men, regir lated by the prices paid in Staffordshire ; that the men joined this union in 1863, and at once struck for higher wages ; that the union supported and encou raged men in leaving work without notice, and breaking their contracts ; and that eleven of the secretaries of the various lodges were publicans.

Tho Duke of ARGYLL presented a petition from the inhabitants of Cheltenham against the Promissory Oaths Bill. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Shropshire U n i on Railway an d C ana l Bill was read a second time. LAND TENURE (IRELAND) BILL. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE (who was nearly in audible) in moving the second reading of this bill said that he did not wish to enter into any long discussion upon the bill, but after the remarks of the noble and learned lord he must enter into a slight review of the evils which necessitated a change in the land tenure of Ireland. He would assert that they had one distinctive vice in Ireland, which was that the holdings were not secured by written documents, and this vice he considered ought to be abolished, and that every agreement ought to be in writing. He complained of the law now in exist ence, not only as a vicious one, but as such that the judges themselves could not do otherwise than condemn it. Every Government since the passing of the last Act had contemplated some, alteration. The late Go vernment did so, and likewise the present one. Evert great law officer of the Crown contemplated some altera tion in the existing law. It had been urged that such a bill as he was about moving would affect the position of landlord and tenant, but he did not know what bill could be brought affecting land tenure, which did not interfere with the position of tenant and landlord. This bill, which he was about to introduce, was no longer his own ; it had been stolen bodily by the Government ; and he had heard the noble lord the Secretary for Ireland declare that ho intended to bring in a measure similar to that which he now proposed. The noble mar quis then entered into a detail of the reservations and obligations which the measure imposed upon both landlord and tenant. lle condemned the idea that all these measures should be contained ,in four:ibills when they might be embodied in one. Ile had no sort of pride that the Government had taken up his bill, he had been for years convinced that the clauses and enactments of the bill contained an equitable adjustment of the differences between landlord and tenant. But he had heard with great regret that ne Government were about to issue another Commission to investigate into the differences between landlord and tenant , and what earthly use it cou ld bo he could not conceive. It would spread dissatisfaction amongst the people and would induce them to believe that the Government of the Crown listened to all those absurd suggestions which were continually made to them with regard to the Irish tenantry. He re ferred to Mr. Mill's p ro position, which he stated, if carried out, would pauperise the Irish landlord. He as serted that if a roving commission was sent through the country its only use would be to excite delusive hopes. (Hear.) There was nothing in Ireland which required any violent measure of reform. All they wanted was a tem porary measure to protect loyal and honest subjects in that country. The state of Ireland as far as landlord and tenant was concerned was quite satisfactory, Tiv, noble lord then quoted from a speech of Grattan, which con demned the motion that any great evil existed in Ireland. Lord St. LEONARDS said that he thought that the noble marquis in deference to the Government would have postponed his motion until he know what course would be Pugged 17 the gOlTrial"t' §Q DaPiny tiiGtq 9i Maict- vant, TILL VAGRANT LAW. . _ Mr. WALDEGRAVE-LESLIE asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the Government proposed to bring forward any measure for the purpose of giving greater power to magi,trates or poor-law guar dians in dealing with those vagrants who are habitual tramps, so as to check the growing increase of vagrancy? Mr. HARDY said the matter was under consideration, but he could not say at the present time that he intended to propose any legislation on the subject. THE NEW ROYAL ACADEMY. Mr. LAYARD asked the First Commissioner of Works whether the works undertaken on the Piccadilly side of the Burlington-house site had been stopped on account of an alleged interference with the rights of the Albany ; an d whether, if that was the case, the Royal Academy would be able to complete the building which they had com menced, so as to hold their annual exhibition in it next year ? Lord J. MANNERS said that it was quite true that the works had been impeded by the alleged interference of certain rights, but he had the satisfaction of stating that the matter had been arranged, and the works ware now progressing. With respect to whether the Royal Aca demy would be enabled to hold its exhibition next year in the building was a circumstance altogether beyond his control. IRISH UNIVERSITIES. Mr. FAWCETT asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he would promise that the Government would not advise her Majesty to grant a charter to the proposed Catholic University in Ireland until Parliament had an opportunity of expressing its approval or disapproval of the scheme, by either granting or refusing the public money, which the establishment of such an university would require ? The Bari of MAYO said it was the groat desire of the Government to act in concert with the Parliament, and therefore the matter would be so conducted that Parlia ment would have full notice of anything proposed. SPAIN AND CHILI-. Mr. WEGUELIN asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs %hether a convention had been entered into between the British Government and the Ministers of Spain and of Chili ? Lord STANLEY said no such convention had been entered into. THE STATE OF IRLELAND-ADJOURNED DEBATE. The adjourned debate on the motion of Mr. Meouiltz was resumed by Mr. HORSII:AN, who said it was a matter of great in— terest doubtless to the house to know the policy of the Go vernment on the subject of the condition of Ireland, but from what had been communicated to them by the Chief Secretary for Ireland on the three great subjects, namely, the Church, the Land, and Education, what was the policy of the Government ? On the Church it was a policy of inactivity; on the Land, it was a policy of procrastination ; and on Education, it was a policy of retrogression. (Loud cheers, and hear, hear.) What seemed to be the great panacea for the wants of Ireland ? Why the Government proposed Royal Co mmissioners—(laughter)—they proposed to deal with the religious, political, and social condition of Ireland by royal commissions. (Laughter.) That might be what they (the Government) called a policy, but he must say he could not see the semblance of a principle in it. (" Hear; hoar," and cheer:.) The hon. gentleman then proceeded to refer to the system of education now in progress in Ireland, which he said was popular with persons of all denominations, because it was a mixed system, and it was of the utmost importance that the house should stand by and not allow the thin end of the wedge to be got in by the Government introducing a measure for granting a charter to the proposed Catholic University. If such a courso was assented to the present successful system would eventually fall ; and in its place would be supplied another not near so well calculated to meet the wants of the people generally. He had to sym pathise with the noble lord, who had a cruel task im posed upon him last night. The greatest anxiety was shown to know the policy of the Government on Ireland. But he must say he never, in all his parliamentary ex perience, met with a greater disappointment than that he experienced last night. (Hear, hear.) It was though no fault of the noble lord ; he rose up to explain the policy of the Government, but when he was about to do so he could not find it. (Laughter.) He looked for it in his box on the table near him but it was'nt there. (Loud laughter.) He tumbled over his papers but it was'nt there—(laugh ter) —and then he turned to the Prime Minister and looked in his face, but it was'nt there. (Shouts of laughter.) As to the Church of Ireland, so long as it was:maintained as a favoured Church, there would be no peace in Ireland, and it ought therefore to be swept away. It had passed be yond the stage of inquiry. It could not be shelved for another year as the Government proposed, but Parliament ought at once to lay down the principle on which the ecclesiastical arrangements of Ireland should be continued for the future. Passing to the land question, ho traced the evils of the present system to the time when Ireland was governed by corruption, and when the enormous multiplication of small holdings, each giving a vote, gave a higher market value to an estate than the highest cultivation. Looking to the different circum stances of England and Ireland, the doctrine that the same principles of legislation were applicable to both countries was utterly fallacious, and for the future our legislation ought to be in accordance with the wishes and wants of the Irish people without asking whether it would be applicable to England. Never could we rule Ireland without coercion until we had given full effect to the principle of religious equality, until we had removed in some way or other the feeling of insecurity which was driving the tenant farmers from the country, and until we had united all classes in one great system of unsectarian education. _ _ _ After some remarks from Mr. CORRXNCE, who did not oppose an inquiry, nor the application of moderato re medial measures, but denounced revolutionary panaoeas, Mr. LOWE maintained that in discussing the Irish question Fenianism should be left out of sight. It was an incidental circumstance of the present condition of Ire land arising altogether out of the close of the American war, and fed entirely from extraneous sources, and it was ridiculous to assert that it had any connexion with the land or the Church questions. The aim of the Fenians was plunder and confiscation ; they came, not to attack the British Government, but to desolate Ireland, and the existence of this conspiracy ought not to force us into any extraordinary or revolutionary measures. Feeling impatient, ho said, as an Englishman, of perpetual misrepresentations on this question, he proceeded to show the fallacies on which most of them rested. Though there was much that was unsatisfactory in the state of Ireland, she, nevertheless, as Lord Mayo had shown authoritatively, was progressing, and in some re spects rapidly. Ireland was no more governed by England thane gpilimad by Ireland. §ll9 adequately reprommtsd The discussion was continued by Mr. Hughes, who argued in favour of giving a legal sanction and operation to the tenant-right custom, and advocated an application of the principle of association to agriculture; by Mr. Vance, who, attributing the ills of Ireland to the creation of 40s. freehold; to the want of a real union between the two countries, and to the operation of free trade, insisted that to touch the revenues of the Established Church would be a violation of the Act of Union, and that Ireland never could be benefi',ed by a policy of confiscation ; and by Mr. Agar-Ellis, who recommended that the State should pay all Ministers of religion, and exposed the abuses which were inseparable from fixity of tenure. Mr. JACOB BRIGHT delivered a maiden speech, in which he dwelt on tho anomalies of the Irish Church. The policy of the Government he characterised as the merest tinkering with a great question, and he specially condemned the proposal to create a new establishment and a new sectarian university. The great want of Ireland was an extension of the franchise, a just distribution of seats, and vote by ballot. • Mr. MILL was not much surprised that nothing was to be done on the land question, for he allowed that the time was far distant when what he should consider a real re medial measure woull be proposed by a Government. But he specially regretted the determination not to deal with the State Church— an anomaly which was condemned by the whole human race, and which no people would suLmit to but at the point of the sword. The plan of endowing the Roman Catholic clergy Mr. Mill, retort ing the taunt of utopianism which had been levelled at him, characterised as " kakotopian" too bad to be put into practice. The clergy themselves certainly would not accept our bribe. The state of Ireland, he maintained, was more dangerous than it had ever been at any previous time, and the circumstance that it received its strongest support from abroad was the most dangerous feature. Admitting that since 1829 we had ceased to govern Ireland for our own benefit, and had only boon guilty of not knowing how to carry out our good inten tions, he traced the course of legislation since that year, pointing out our numerous mistakes. But the groat rea son of our failure was our unwillingness to face the large and bold measures which alone could cure Ireland. Mr. Mill defended at length, and with great elaboration, his pamphlet, which he said had been greatly misrepresented, and complained particularly of the epithet " confiscation." His object was to promote se,urify of tenure, which was the great want of Ireland, and he suggested that the com mission to be appointed should inquire how far its prin ciple with modification, to which he was not adverse, could be applied in practice. Mr. HARDY denied that Mr. M.;ll's plan, if it were put in practice, would have any effect in removing Irish dis affection, and he pointed out that the Landed Estates Court already gave facilities for the purchase of land in small lots. After protesting warmly against the vague and exaggerated language of Mr. Maguire and Mr. Hors man, and repeating some of the facts stated by Lord Mayo to show that Ireland was progressing, and that Fenianism derived its strength from external sources, he proceeded to defend the Government programme. The mixed system of education, he asserted, had become gra dually, almost entirely denominational, and the same feel ing which had brought about this change existed with re gard to University education. The Catholics of Ireland, as a rule, had not sent their sons either to Trinity College or the Queen's Colleges, and from that he assumed that they desired an University of their own. Indeed, they had founded and endowed one, and this was the justification of the Government in proposing to create a new University which would not bo a merely clerical establishmenl. As to the Irish Church, he pointed out that the commission bad been appointed at the instance of Lord Russell, and ho demanded that those who pressed for immediate disesta blishment should first show what they would do with the revenues when they had got it. In illustrating this he read a long extract from a speech of Mr. Gladstone, who in 1865 resisted a motion of Mr. Dillwyu on the ground that its acceptance would make it necessary for th 3 Govern ment to come forward with a plan. Mr. Gladstone then said, " The whole question is what is your remedy ?" and that was now the difficulty. With respect to many sub jects it was necessary for those who were charged with the responsibilities of Government to give up some of their most cherished predilections ; but now to consent to a re solution for the immediate disestablishment of the Church would be an unparalleled act of political cowardice, which, so far from conciliating the Irish people, would be but the signal for fresh demands. At present, therefore, the Go vernment were not prepared to make any proposal on the Church question, and, seeing that Lord Russell during the years he had been in office had always declined to deal with it, he held it to be highly unreasonable that the pre sent Ministry, which was new in office, should be com pelled to pronounce on it at a moment's notice. The debate was adjourned by Mr. C. Fortescue until to day (Friday.) Some other business was disposed of, and the house ad journed at 12 o'clock. AQ UA7 ICS. THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE. — CHANGE OF OXFORD STROKE. OXFORD, Thursday Evening. ' The objections which have, during the last week or so, been made to the rowing of some of the Oxford crow ap pear to have been well founded, as some very important changes were made this morning and afternoon, when Mr. M. Brown, of Trinity College, a former victorious Oxford stroke, visited the river side in company with Messrs. J. 11. Forster, University, and A. H. Hall, University, two distinguished past and present Oxford oarsmen. Mr. Willan, the president, had the men out early this morn ing, and relinquished his place for the nonce while he ran down towards Iftley and back twice with the gentle men above named. On the first occasion of the boat going down, Mr. Darbishire, of Baliol, stroke of one of the last Trial Eights , r owed 6, in the place of Mr. E. S. Carter, who occupied Mr. Willan's seat, Mr. Marsden taking the stroke oar. The result was that Mr. Marsden was shifted from the post of honour to No. 6, Darbishire rowing stroke the second time, and Mr. Willan still coach ing from the bank. In the afternoon Derrington was dis placed from No. 4 position, to which Mr. Marsden was changed, and Darbishire again rowed stroke, this time taking the men to Sandford and back, Mr. Lipscomb, Uni versity, steering pro tens. The change is considered highly satisfactory, although it cannot but be felt it must at this late period somewhat militate against the chances of the " dark blue" on the 4th of April. The following gentlemen now constitute the Oxford crew, who will row for the last time on the Isis on Satur day week, and appear on the Thames on the following Monday —Bow, R. Benson, Baliol. 2. A. Yarborough, Lincoln. 8. It. Ross, Exeter. 4. R. G. Marsden, Merton. 5. J. C. Tintns, University. G. E. 5, Carter, Worcester 7. F. Willan, Exeter. Stroke, S. Darbishire, Baliol. Cox swain, C. R.

The prices of Hornintan's Teas are greatly reduced ; their well-known superiority has attracted a host of spurious imitations; therefore notice all Genuine Packets are signed, " Horniman c!r Co," London. 300 Confectioners are Agents in Condon and 2,200 Cheini§to in the Country., Mr. Elliott said the men in most of his pits were not members of any union, but he found them equally as troublesome to manage as union men. The Welsh colliers were not so independent or intelligent as the men in the North of England. He thought the men had a right to have a union amongst them if they wished it, and that as a rule they were none the worse for it. Mr. Kane, who had been examined at great length on a previous , day, was then re-examined in explanation of some of the statements made by Mr. Jones, but was repeatedly interrupted by Mr. Roebuck with an unfavour able running commentary upon his evidence. He asserted that until the lock-out in 1866, the wages in the North of England had als6ys been regulated by those of S taffordsli i re, and it was then only for the first time that a reduction was attempted in the North, without any corresponding reduc tion in Staffordshire. The strike in 1863 was not in consequence of the formation of the union, but, on the contrary, the union was formed after the strike. The union did not give the slightest encouragement to men to leave their work unfi nished or without notice, unless the committee were thoroughly satisfied there were attendant circumstances in favour of the men, and this was found to be the case in the instance brought forward by Mr. Jones. There were not any publicans acting as secretaries of lodges, but some of the lodges did meet at public-houses, having no other convenient place ; and letters or other documents were sometimes left in charge of the publican for the secretary. He gave explanations on many other points, which appeared, on the whole, to be satisfactory to the majority of the commissioners. The commissioners sit again on Tuesday next. TRIAL OF THE WELSH FENLANS. At the Swansea Assizes, on Thursday, the case against the Fenians in South Wales was concluded. Patrick Dorau (head centre), Patrick Carey, John Mara, Mark Farley, Patrick Ryan, Thomas Reardon, William Holland, Michael Flyn, John Whelan, and William Whelan, labourers, were placed on their trial before Mr. Baron Pigott, for conspiring and agreeing together illegally to drill and rraotke .flilitary movements at Merthyr Tydvil, between the Ist of September and the 26th of December. Mr. Giffard, Q.C.. and Mr. Allen prosecuted; Mr. Michael and Mr. Bowen defended the prisoners. Mr. Giffard opened the case, and called Patrick Coffey, the approver, who repeated the eviden, given by him before the magistrates. He proved th; drilling had taken place on the mountains near Merthyr, and that he had taken the Fenian oath. It was adminis tered to him by Doran, who appeared to be the principal mover in the matter. The jury retired, and, after a quarter of an hour's deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty against Patrick Doran and Patrick Ryan, and acquitted all the other prisoners. On being called upon in the usual way, Doran made a rambling speech. He emphatically denied the evidence given by Coffey, whom he denounced as a villain of the blackest dye. He at the same time commiserated a mighty and powerful Government that punished its Irish subjects upon the evidence of such a man. He denied that he had ever introduced Fenianism into Dowtais, and protested against the sentence about to be passed on him. The judge, in passing sentence, said that the prisoners nad been guilty of a very grave offence, and one that called forth an adequate punishment. HoWeyer ridiculous it might appear that two men should conspire together for the purpose of overthrowing the Crown, Doran had, ho considered, been the mainspring of tlfe movement in Dow. leis. He should, therefore, give him the severer punish. ment. His lordship then sentenced Doran to seven and Ryan to five years' penal servitude. The other prisoners were liberated directly they were removed from the dock, and their appearance in the streets created a great deal of excitement. Another indictment against Mara and Flyn for illegal drilling was withdrawn by the prosecution. THE BREAKFAST TO MR. GARRISON. —The pro ceedings at the breakfast held in honour of Mr. Lloyd Garrison last June have been published in a permanent form, the speeches delivered at this brilliant gathering having been revised by the speakers, Mr. John Bright, the Duke of Argyll, Earl Russell, Mr. J. S. Mill, Mr. Garrison, Mr. George Thompson, Mr. Stansfeld, Mr. W. V. Harcourt, and Hon. E. L. Stanley. ACCIDENT TO THE HON. H. G. LIDDELL, M. P.-- We regret to learn that the Hon. H. G. Liddell, the respected M.P. for the Southern Division of North umber land, has had a very severe fall in the hunting-field, in Northamptonshire. Happily, the reports of his condition are very favourable, and it is hoped that hi the course of a week or ten days the hon. gentleman will be able to resume his parliamentary duties. COLLIERY ACCIDENT AND Loss OF FIVE LIVES.— On Wednesday afternoon an accident occurred at Clatter shall Colliery, about 2i miles from Stourbridge, by which three men and two boys lost th e i r li ves. The colliery was worked a great many years a go , an d was entered on by Mr. Edward Bowen, the present occupant, with the view of working what is locally called the "ribs and pillars." The deceased were engaged in one of these workings, when they were suffocated by chokedamp. THE ACCOUNTS OF PUBLIC COMPANIES. Sir William Hutt and Mr. ELlice's bill "for the better regulation and the supervision by the Board of Trade of the accounts of railways and other joint stock companies accounts," has been publishLd. It seeks to make it compulsory that railway accounts and balance-sheets shall be made out hall-yearly; limited company's balance sheets to be made out yearly. The Board of Trade may, by notice in the London Gazette, vary these returns from time to time. The accounts must be deposited with the Board of Trade and the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies, and until they are deposited no dividend must be de clared. The Board of Trade may, if they think fit, order an examination of the affairs of the company by inspectors on application by a specified number of hold?rs of stock, due notice to be given to t he company. The in spectors, after examining, must report to the Board of Trade—the b a y s th t e be boa a r p d . h)aeideltle company,i etxopfens the expenses to as se plicants or ou ts be of tl shall direct. Should th e com p an y fail to register ft p e nalty of £2O and £5 for every day during which the same continues may be inflicted. The documents at tho r egistrar's may be inspected by the payment of one shilling fee. Should any false accounts be filed, the offender knowingly registering them may be fined £lO or be imprisoned. The inspectors' report may be admitted as evidence, but the accounts filed by the company shall not be admitte I in favour of the company, to prove the, truth of any mattes :rein stated,
