Mr. CRAWFORD (for Mr. Alderman Lawrence) asked the Secretary to the Treasury when the report of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue for tle year ended the 31st March, 1867, which was presented to the house in August last, would be printed and placed in the hands of members. Mr. HUNT replied that it would, he loped, be in the hands of members to-morrow. THE FORTIFICATIONS. Mr. O'BEIRNE asked the Secretary of State for War when the report of the committee appointed to superin tend the experiments upon the Malta and Gibraltar shields would be placed upon the table ; and whether the com mittee had been instructed to superintend aad report upon the experiments to be made n ith reference to the Ber muda Fort and the Plymouth Breakwater Fort ; and if the committee had not been so instructed, was it his in tention to place those experiments also under their super intendence ? Sir J. PAKINGTON said the report relative to the Malta and Gibraltar shields was almost completed, and would, he hoped, be produced in about a reek. The com mittee had not been instructed to report upon the shields at either Bermuda or Plymouth; but the hon. member would recollect that four shields similar to those sent to Malta had been sent to Bermuda, so that the report would state the strength of those shields. The target at Ply mouth, he believed, would be completed in a few weeks, when the experiments would be made at that place. THE COMPOUND HOUSEHOLDER. Mr. SANDFORD asked the Chancellor of the Exche quer whether her Majesty's Government intended to bring forward any measure to relieve the compound house holders from the personal payment of rates, to which they had been made liable by the repaal of the Small Tene ments Act ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he presumed that the hon. member did not refer to those who lived in Parliamentary boroughs, because there were none in those places. With respect to the point in question he had to remind the hon. member that the alteration with respect io the compound householder had been carried unanimously by the house. The act that terminated their existence only came into operation on the 29th of September, and as yet there had, been only one rate levied under it, so that experience at the presort mo ment was so very limited that her Majesty's Government had thought it unseemly to impugn a decision of the house come to so unanimously. (gear, hear, and " Oh, oh.") NATIVE RULE IN INDIA. Mr. KINNAIRD asked the Secretary of State for India if he had any objection to lay upon the table of the house a copy of the papers containing the opinions as to the comparative merits of British and native rule in India, which had been collected and sent home by Sir John Lawrence ? Sir S. NORTUCOTE said there would be no objection to produce the papers. THE ISLAND OF ST. THOMAS. Mr. KINNAIRD asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the royal mail steamers were to continue running to St . T homas as th e place for deliver ing and receiving the mails, or whether it was intended to adopt any English island for this purpose; and, if so, what island and harbour. Mr. ADDERLEY said the mails did not continue to run to St. Thomas, but that another island was about to be selected for the purpose, but no final decision had yet been some to on the subject. TRENT VALLEY RAILWAY. Mr. NEWDEGATE asked the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, whether his attention had been directed to the dangerous state of the Nuneaton Station and level crossing on the Trent Valley Railway, and to the fatal accidents which have recently occurred there ; and whether he would have any objection to lay upon the table of the house two reports of Colonel Yolland to the Board of Trade on the subject ? Mr. CAVE said the attention of the Board had been directed to the matter, and he should have no objection to lay the reports moved for on the table of the house as soon as they were made. THE BOUNDARY COMMISSION. Hr. BEA.UMONT asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whop the report of the Boundary Com mission would be delivered to Members of Parliament ? Mr. HARDY said the report had been received, but that it was very voluminous. It would be placed in the hands of members without the least delay. THE COURTS OF JUSTICE. Mr. BENTINCR asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether an architect for the New Courts of Justice had been appointed I Sir G. BO WYER asked if Sir A. Cairns's proposals had been considered, because it was most important that that learned gentleman's Proposals should be fully considered before the new courts Were erected. Mr. HUNT said in reply that no architect had yet been appointed. The Royal Commission had no directions to inquire into other matter than the best means of erecting the new law courts. NATIONAL EDUCATION. Mr. FORSTER asked the Chancellor of the Exche quer whether the education of the people having been re ferred to in her Majesty's Speech, it was the in tention of the Government to bring forward during this session any bill affecting the elemen tary education of the people of England and Wales? The hon. gentleman took the opportunity of going at some length into the question of education, and said the time had arrived when it was impossible to leave the educa tion of the rising generation to the inability of the parent or the apathy of the public. The subject was one of the highest importance, and as it had been referred to in her Majesty's most gracious Speech on the opening of Parlia ment, ho hoped the right hon. gentleman would state the intentions of the Government on the subject. The CH.ANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the subject, no doubt, was ono of the highest importance, but be must decline to enter into the discussion of such a subject at that moment. If the hon. gentleman bad made a motion on the subject the Government would not have shrunk from stating the course they thought the country ought to follow. (Hear, hear.) He could on that occasion, therefore, only say that it was the intention of the Government to introduce a measure during the present session o f Parliament with respect to the elementary education of the children of the working classes. (Hear, hear.) It was out of no disre spect to the hon. gentleman that ho declined to enter into the discussion of the matter that evening, but solely be cause at that particular time he was not prepared to enter into the consideration of a matter of such very great im portance. PUBLIC SCHOOLS BILL. Mr. WA.LPOLE moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to place the public schools at Eton, Harrow, Westminster, and other places under better regulations than at presented existed. Sir H. VERNEY recommended the insertion of a pro vision in the bill to extend the benefits of Harrow School to the humbler classes. Mr. GLADSTONE admitted that some attempt ought to be made to obtain a comprehensive view of the metro politan schools as a whole, so as to apply their resources with just reference to the wants and necessities of the metropolis. But the question was to what classes that principle would properly apply, NA it appeared t 9 h that doubt and difficulty would be interposed by any mo tion which would be an obstacle to the progress of the bill. The measure was, he thought, valuable in this sense, that it would bring into existenco new powers, which would be in a position to act with effect both on the con dition of the schools and likewiso on the establislitnonts. Apart from the question of the metropolis, it would, he thought, be a mistake, after the laborious investigation. of years, to send a bill to a select committee simply on the grounds stated by Mr. Ayrton. After sour, obs , +rvationsfro•a lir. Neate, Mt.. Bintitielc, aad Mr. Darby Grins!), Sir S. NORTIICOTE said he thong!it tho point to bo considered was not how the education of particular Locali ties or schoAs should be best provided for, but, assuming that it was desirable that the highest education should be to a great extent classical, and embrace other fields of lc:truing, i❑ what way the schools impar:,ing that educa tion could be made most conducive to the general wants of the cointr•r. The in. a ion of Mr. Ayrton not heing pressed the bill was eventually read a second time. The Eurl of MAYO then proceeded, in a house of less than 20 members (one-fourth of whom only belonged to the sister country), to move for leave to bring in a bill to re new for one year the Habeas Corpus Suspension (Ireland) Bill, and in doing so declared that it was the earnest con viction of the Government that it was absolutely neces sary for the preservation of the peace in that country to frustrate the efforts of the Fenian conspiracy. The" facts of that conspiracy were now avowed, and known to be a rebellion, and the establishment of an Irish republic ; and the information in the possession of the Government showed that both in America and on the continent of Europe considerable activity prevailed amongst men who were connected with the conspiracy, which was ruled and guided by those who had thrown off their allegiano to the British Crown, and boasted that they had transferred it to another Power. Referring to the operation of the act now about to expire, the noble lord explained that at the present moment 96 persons were in custody; that during the year 1867 there had been 265 arrests ; that in the three months of November, December, and January last there had been 33 ; that since the act was renewed on the Ist of June the arrests were 81; and that out of the 265 arrests in 1867 there were only 11 occupiers of the land, whilst 95 were of persons who had passed the greater portion of their time in America. The class engaged in the conspiracy were chiefly confined to the lowest and the least educated section of the Irish people, and he was happy to say that in almost every instance the Government had been able to check and thwart the designs of the conspirators in time to prevent any serious consequences. Mr. BAGWELL expressed his surprise that such a bill shculd be introduced before the Government had made any statement with regard to measures of amelioration and pacification for Ireland. The Church, the Land, and the Education questions pressed for an early solution, and he warned the Government that if they were not prepared to deal with those questions they were not fit to Occupy the Treasury bench. Leave was then given to bring in the bill, which was read a first time, and ordered to b 3 read a second time on Monday next. The house adjourned at 20 minutes to 10 o'clock. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TILE NEU'S FROJI ABYSSINIA. The intelligence from Annesley Bay to the 2nct. February would be gratifying if we could accord perfect faith to the statements. The telegram, from an unofficial source, con tains some startling announcements. The report that King Theodore had entered Magdala and resumed possession of the captives will awaken many keen emotions. It would be useless to discredit the story, because it agrees with surmises entertained by the Magdala prisoners. Lieu tenant Prideaux had stated that Theodore was not more than two hours' journey from the fortress, and that he might enter it within that period of time, were he willing to leave his ordnance behind him. The Prince of Lasta had not arrested the progress of his nominal sove reign, and Menilek, we knew already, had retreated. It is now said that the King of Shea was beaten in fight before he could get away, and that he withdrew at once to Ankobar. Consequently, assuming that Theodore had crossed the Bashilo, and that the rebels disappeared from his path, there is no reason why he should not have been in Magdala by the beginning of January. Should this rumour prove to be correct, the new fact will seriously influence the conduct of the campaign. In the first place, unless promptly finished by uulooked-for negotiations, warfare must go on through more than one season. The problem will be, not how to reach Magdala, but how to reach Theodore. Were our troops to march on Magdala from Antalo, they would probably fin i that the enemy had retreated westward, and, consequently, Sir Robert Napier, granting the pre sence of Theodore at Magdala, will have to devise some plan calculated to prevent his escape. Hence, we may have to march into Begemeder, and work eastward from Debra Tabor. The public will therefore see that the in telligence, if true, is of great gravity ; that the incident suddenly (pens a wide range to conjecture, and that the responsibilities of the commander-in-chief have become extremely onerous. Nor will the position prove scarcely less serious should the statement he authentic that the Egyptian Government persists in thrusting its troops into the quarrel. Probably the correct explanation of the report is, that some corps of observation is to be placed on the northern frontier, since we have reason to believe that the Egyptians have been withdrawn from Annesley Bay and Massowah. The Vice roy's Cabinet knows perfectly well that the intermeddling of his soldiers is distasteful to us, and we cannot believe that he wilt persevere. But before forming any definite opinion of the substance of the telegram, we must wait for littetilg, nee more trustworthy than that which has just come to hand. —Telegraph. THE ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE POLICEMEN AT CORK. A third edition of the Cork Examiner says :—" A state ment has been made to us by a gentleman of unquestion able veracity, which completely alters the aspect of the occurrence in the North Main-street as an attempted assassination of two policemen. The information sup plied us, which seems to be accurate, relieves the c o m. munity of the very serious and painful imputation the version already given of the affair casts upon it.; and we therefore hasten to lay the facts as they have been de tailed to us before our readers. At the hour the shot is alleged to have been fired at the two constables, a dairy man—whose name has been given to us and whom our informant will, if necessary, produce—was passing on his car through the North Main-street, and observed a small child come out of Castle-street, holding a powder•cracker, the fuse of which was ignited. The two constables were then on the footpath, walking along at a leisurely pace. The urchin was a few yards in the rear of the policemen when the cracker exploded with a loud report. The con stables never looked behind, but bolted for the nearest doorway, into which they both jammed themselves at the same instant, shrinking as far back as they possibly could to escape the formidable missiles which they expected to follow the discharge. The child, equally alarmed at the explosion and its consequences,' fled another way. In a few moments the policemen had recovered sufficient nerve to peep cautiously from their shelter, and seeing no trace of an assassin in the streets, they then ventured out, and went at a rapid pace in the direction of the Shandon-street station, where they re ported, as we have already stated, that they had been fired at from the corner of Austin's lane, or from a window in the North Main•street. The head constable, with a large armed party, at once visited the spot and made inquiries, but could obtain no information in reference to the attempted assassination—firstly, because no attempt at assassination had been made ; secondly, because those few who were acquainted with what had taken place were reluctant to disclose the facts, lest, as our informant states, it should lead to the arrest of the child—a sur mise not at all improbable. Trusting to the information on which we wrote yesterday, we stated that immediately after the occurrence the two policemen found themselves surrounded by a crowd who seemed perfectly indifferent to the outrage. The fact is. that the people were amazed at the extraordinary panic of the constables, and were gazing with natural bewilderment at them to ascertain the cause of their terrified demeanour. We are sure that the expla nation of the affair will be received with satisfaction, for no one could contemplate without horror the idea of a cowardly assassination of unarmed and inoffensive men being attempted in our city."

Th e assoc i at i on o f H anov erian artisans has determined on suggesting a remedy, namely, that prisoners should be paid for their work at the current rates in the locality, that the sums so earned should be applied in part to cover the cost of their maintenance, and that the surplus should be given to them on their liberation.
