MAYNOOTH COLLEGE BILL.

On the order for resuming the debate upon the
second reading of the Nlaynooth College Bill,
Mr. SPOONER moved that the order be dis-
charged. The hon. member complained of the un-
fair advantage taken of the forms of the house to
defeat the measure, but observed that he was satis-
fied with the position of the question, having had
five divisions in his favour. It was his firm inten-
tion, be said, to renew the motion next session. The
bill was therefore discharged.
The Drainage (Ireland) Bill passed through com-
mittee. The second reading of the Mercantile Law
Amendment Bill was postponed till Monday. The
Public Health Bill was read a second time. The
Cambridge University Bill was read a third time
and passed.

GENERAL SIR J. WILSON, K.C.8., Colonel of the
11th (North Devonshire) Regiment of Foot, died on
Monday morning at his town residence. The gallant
general had seen much active service from the spring
of 1794 up to the close of the war, in 1815. Sir
John served in the West Indies in 1796, and was
at the taking of Minorca in 1798. In 1800 he
took part in the expedition against Cadiz, and in the
following year proceeded with the army to Egypt,
and was present in the actions of the 13th and 21st
of March, and during the whole of that campaign.
He proceeded to the Peninsula in 1808, fought at
the ►,attle of Vimiera, where he was severely wounded,
then joined the Lusitanian Legion, and acted with
that corps during an arduous period of service in
which he was repeatedly engaged with the enemy,
and several times more or less severely wounded.
The gallant general received the gold war medal for
his services at the assault and capture of San Sebas-
tian, and the silver medal and two clasps for Vimiera
and Nivelle. He for some years commanded
the forces in Ceylon, and in May, 184, the
colonelcy of the 11th Regiment of Foot was given to
him by the Duke of Wellington. The general's first
and last commissions bore date, ensign, 26th of
March, 1794; and general, 20th of June, 1851.

THE HAiirtow SPEFCH DAY. on Thursday, was ho-
noured by the in esence of Sir William Williams of
Kars, who laid the foundation-stone of the chapel
intended as a memorial to the Harrovians killed in
the late war. General Sir William Williams, after
duly laying the stone amidst great applause, came
forward and said that in accepting the invitation to
be present that day he hoped ho had not done wrong
in bringing with him some of the men of Kars, and
pointed out Caonel Lake, Captain Teesdale, and Mr.
Churchill as men who had done goad service to the
caantry

; have addressed you collectively (observed the gallant
general), but now 1 wi 1 sad sword or two to the Harrow
boys I see around me. It is strauge that we all try to be
thought well of after death, and the more we progress the
more tint feeling will be spread. Now of the list of names
that Dr. Vaughan has read to you, of those Harrovians
who fell in the war, it was my honour to know two or three
of them well. Among others, there is Major• General E=t
court, whom I always knew to be one of the best officers;
then there was Captain Pechell, who had title and fortune,
was the only son, and yet be preferred honour and glory to
staying at home to enjoy that; and atter be had many
times distinguished himself he was offered by his sovereign
to come and join some regiment at home, very likely her
Majesty's Guards, where be might have enjoyed some rest.
But no, he preferred to stay where he had gained his
laurels. (Cheers). It is impossible to portray the great
fortitude and resignation of that noble man, and I feel sure
if there had been two or three sons in that family they
would have been given up to their country. I therefore
hs e that these examples may be borne in mind by the Har-
row boys lam now addressing. Cheers).
On the question of competition, the gallant general
observed:
I may rerhaps be permitted to say that I feel very glad
to think that positions in the army are to be thrown open
to public competition. Of that lam very glad, hut I must
observe that we have not the books to teach those who are
to become candidates. T hope the press of this country
will take the matter up, and have the best. works on the
Continent translated, for without proper elementary instruc-
tisn rothing can be done. I must also say that if it is
intended to do anything, we must have the help of the
Government. I only came down here to lay this stone,
and having done that, I shall not detain you longer, but I
have one more word to say to my young Harrow friends.
There is such a thing as death in glory, but the loss of
position is oftentimes felt more severely by the friends of
Vie soldier. I wish to be properly understood, fur it is a
fact that an evil word or a thoughtless axiom may cause
the loss of a commission. If a soldier dies fighting in his
country's service, his end is glorious, but if, through any
miso induct on his part, he loses his position, then nothing
tut an ignonunious fate is open to him.

OFFICIAL REPORT OF

THE ROYAL SANITARY POLICE OF PRUSSIA.
In answer to your letter of the 2nd ults,requesting permission
to sell Dr. De Jongh'a Cod Liver Oil in bottles, accompanied by
his stamp and signature, the Royal Police of Prussia (Kiinig-
Ilches-polizei Praesidium) has the honour of informing you that
it has caused the Oil to be submitted to an official investigation,
and that the result of such Investigation has proved it to be
not only the genuine Cod Liver Oil. but. still further, that it is
of a kind which distinguishes itself from the Cod Liver Oil in
ordinary use alike by its taste and chemical composition. Con-
sidering, moreover, that it has come to their knowledge that
physicians generally recommend the use of Dr. De Jongli's 01l
in preference to the Cod I.iver Oil in ordinary use, the Royal
Police accedes to your request.

and the third reading was carried, with the
approbation of Government, by 213 members
to twenty-eight. A large portion of the ma-
jority consisted of Conservative Members,
and to them the public are greatly indebted
for the result.

Of the mode in which Sir Jesms HOGG be-
haved in reference to the matter we have only
this to say, that it is a point deserving of
most serious consideration whether, after
such an exhibition, the destinies of India shall
any longer be intrusted to his hands. It is an
insult to our Indian subjects to perpetuate his
power. The question is one, not of party, but of
national character; and it must, for the credit
of our institutions, be met. If the Ministry
have the slightest regard for the public honour
they will lose no time in putting an end to
an anomaly so unseemly by means of a short
bill. The right of the Directors to do injus-
tice, and then prevent the Minister from
affording a remedy for it, must be done away
with at once and for ever; and the responsi-
bility of deciding on petitions of grievance,
for which the courts of law in India afford
no remedy, must be vested henceforwarded
undividedly in the Ministers of the Crown.

ANOTHER " INDISPUTABLE POLICY" Lrvt Assr-
&AVM CABE has come before the public this week.
A Mr. Pridmore sought to recover 501. from the
Biiton Life Association for the amount of an in-
surance effected by him on the life of the Rev.
Theodore Buckley. The defendants pleaded that
the policy had been obtained by the fraud and mis-
representation of the plaintiff. It appeared that the
plaintiff had become acquainted with the Rev. T.
Buckley. and had taken him through the Insolvent
Debtors' Court in 18.55, and had effected an " india•
putable policy" for 501. upon his life in August of
that year. On the 30th January last Mr. Buckley
died of delirium tremens. Application for payment
was made, and refused on the ground that when pro-
posing the life the plaintiff had stated that Bucaley
was of regular habits, and had never suffered from
delirium tremens. On the faith of these statements
the life was insured, and Buckley having died, the
defendants caused inquiries to be made, the result
of whioh justified them in resisting the plaintiff's
demand. Numerous publicans who were called
proved that Buckley drank spirits from morning all
night, anti that IN was in a perpetual state of mud-

The Privy Council was attended by his Royal

the principal Ministers.
Mr. Arthur Magenis, the Hon. Duncan Bligh, and
Mr. Crampton were presented to her Majesty by the
Earl of Clarendon.

Her Majesty held a levee on Wednesday at St.

Queen were made by the foreign Ministers :—By the
Sardinian Minister Count d'Aglie and Baron
Perrone ; by the Greek Minister—Monsieur D.

principal points :—The management of the exhi-
bition department has been made apart of the duties
of the general manager; the salaries of the secretary,
the accountant, and treasurer, and the superinten-
dents of the interior and exterior gardens, have been
reduced by about one-third of their previous amounts ;
and by these and other arrangements the fixed
working expenses of the establishment will in
the current. year be reduced by about 5,000/.
The experience of the later concerts has shown
that the money paid for admission at the doors is
sufficient to pay the current expenses of each
concert. The capital account shows that the ulti-
mate expenditure will amount to 1,355,5961. 12s. 2d.,
of which there has been raised and paid 1,225,1811.
Bs., leaving to be provided 130.4151. 4s. 2d.; but of
this the net sum payable on land (39,0391. 19s. Bd.)
is deferred by the existing arrangement until the
year 1850. If this be deducted, there will remain
91,3751. 4s. 6d. to be raised at present, to meet which
the existing borrowing powers of the company are
amply sufficient. These powers are as follow :
Balance of debentures authorised but not yet issued,
73,7611 las.; further issue of debentures, fur which
a resolution will be submitted to the meeting,
33,3331. Os. 81, extending to the amount of 107,0001.
The directors do not recommend that any immediate
formal declaration of dividend on the original
capital should be made, but that it should be left to
the directors to declare a dividend of 2s. per share
on the original shares, as soon as they can see their
way to making the payment from the above sources.
The season tickets for the current season sold up to
the present time under the three classes, would be
as follows :—Twa-guinea season tickets, admitting on
all occasions, 4,836 ; one guinea season tickets, ad
nutting on all occasions except the concerts, 13,351;
two-guinea transferable tickets, admitting to the con-
certs and flower-shows only, 666—in all 18,853, re-
presenting 25,572/. The West-ecd railway will open
from the Crystal Palace to Clapham in the month of
August, and the whole line, to the Sloane-street

OATH OF ABJURATION.

The house having gone into committee on the
Oath of Abjuration Bill,
Lord LYNDHURST criticised the measure, which be
declared imi osed a practicallytnovel oath. The learned
lord intimated his intention of moving the !omission
of the whole latter portion of the proposed oath, in-
cluding the words " on the true faith of a Christian."

The Earl of Dxsav denied that he had formu-
larised a new oath in his bill, or created any new
disqualifications against the Jews. He had but ex-
punged from the existing Oath of Abjuration those
passages which, by the lapse of time, bad been ren-
dered obsolete and unmeaning.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH recommended the
withdrawal of the bill, which he considered likely to
provoke a collision with the House of Commons .vi a
question whereon the two branches of Legislature
notoriously differed in opinion.
The bill was passed through committee, Lord Lynd-
hurst reserving the discussion of his amendment
until tho measure was brought up for third reading.
The Sardinian Loan Bill was read a third time and
passed.
Their lordships adjourned at eight o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.--FRIDAY.
_ 'THE AMERICAN QUESTION.

In reply to Mr. Moore, -
Lord PALMERSTON refused to name a day for the
discussion of the controversy which had arisen with
the United States on the enlistment question. Under
the existing position of the relationship between the
two cow' ...ries, he considered any debate on the sub-
ject ine .pedient, and would do nothing to facilitate
such a proceeding.
Later in the evening Mr. MOORE reverted t 3 the
subject, and declared his resolve to bring it forward
on tho earliest opportunity afforded by the course of
discussion iu this house.

APPELLATE JURISDICTION.

On the motion that this house on rising should
adjourn until Monday,
Mr. CURRIE urged inquiries touching the course
which the Government intended to pursue with
regard to .the Appelate Jurisdiction Bill, lately
brought down from the Upper House.
Lord PALMERSTON promised to bring the measure
forward for second reading on the earliest available

OATH OF ABJURATION AMENDMENT BILL.

The Earl of DERBY moved the second reading of
this bill, which is limited to the amendment of the
existing statute so far as regards the abjuration of
the descendants of the Pretender.

Lord CAMPBELL regretted that the bill, instead of
amending the existing statute which imposed the
oath of abjuration, di.l not repeal it altogether, as it
was a disgrace to the statute-book.
The Earl of DERBY said that he had been induced
to put his bill in its present shape by a desire to
avoid a conflict with the other House of Parliament.

course which he had taken would effect the abroga-
tion of an unnecessary, and therefore improper, oath
without calling attention to those special words with
which their lordships were not disposed to part ; and
he hoped that the House of Commons would not
seek an unnecessary conflict by rejecting a bill which
effected an object which all desired, because it did
not make other changes upon which there was a
difference of opinion between the two Houses of Par-
liament.
The bill was then read a second time.

The Factories Bill was considered before com-
mittee, the various clauses agreed to, and the bill
reported to the house.

OUGHT MR. CRAMPTON TO BE MADE A

SCAPEGOAT?
THE tendency of Governments when in a
scrape to cast blame on subordinates was
never so plainly seen as in the treatment
offered to Mr. CRAMPTON. .Comments of
peculiar sort have simultaneously appeared
in three different organs notoriously friendly,
" and something more," to the present Cabi
net; and one might almost infer that the
same demi-official pen had been employed in
the triple attempt to make Mr. CRAMPTON a
scapegoat for the acts of his official superiors.
We must utter a strong protest against the
excessive unjustice of so unworthy an attempt,
and it is not impossible that these artifices
may recoil upon their contrivers. Mr. CRAJiP-

LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1856.

THE foreign policy of President PIERCE'S
Cabinet will in all probability be affirmed and
continued by that of its successor. The
Democratic Convention at Cincinnati has no-
minated Mr. BUCHANAN as its candidate for
the Presidency at the election in November;
and from the strength of the party, and Mr.
BUCHANAN'S reputation, there can be little
doubt that he will be successful. Mr.
BUCHANAN'S views on the Monroe doctrine,
and on the jealousy with which European
interference in the affairs of the American
continents is to be regarded, are identical
with those of General PIERCE. But he is a
much abler man than the present President,
and the Convention have, in this instance,
shown much practical sagacity in selecting
their boldest and weightiest statesman to give
effect to their principles.
Hence it may be assumed that whatever
difficulties exist in our relations with the
American Government—owing to the position
it has taken up—will continue to exist for
years to come. As respects the principle at
issue, it will not be a temporary difficulty. Mr.
BUCHANAN is not likely to be more compliant
than General PIERCE or Mr. MARCY. The
people have decided on a policy, and have
found men willing and able to give it shape
and consistency. Let us see what that policy
is. It is necessary to recognise the facts of a
case before attempting a solution of the ques-
tions which grow out of them.
The Monroe doctrine, as it is generally un-
derstood, is supposed to imply a denial, on
the part of the United States' Government,
of the right of any European Power to inter-
fere in the affairs of the two American conti-
nents It is supposed to mean that the two
continents shall be entirely cut off from the
political influences of the Old World, and
shall be free from all European authority and
control.

If this be the principle ishich the Demo-
cratic Convention and the Government of the
United States resolve to " hold sacred," as
essential to the interest of the commerce of
the United States and the develop►nert of
their power, it is a principle which will and
must array against them a great European
confederacy, as wholly subversive of estab-
lished rights, and contrary to international
law. But such an interpretation is not sup-
ported by the terms in which the principle
was originally expressed.
The Monroe doctrine was first enunciated
by President MONROE in his message to the
Congress, on Dec. 2, 1823. It is embodied in
these words :

The occasion has been judged proper for asserting, as a
principle in which the rights and interests of the United
States are involved, that the American continents, by the
free and independent position which they have assunied
and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as sub•
jecta fur future colonisation by any European Power.

THE PRESS.

Pia from the miasma, elaborated by Ris-
tori with awful fidelity. Most harrowing iv(
the workings of the atmospheric poison, but
the details were relieved by the most touching dis
plays of divine forgiveness of the husband, who arrives
with the father, only to receive the last sigh of Pia.
On this magnificent performance by Ristori an
essay might be written. Her conception is pre-
sented in a totally different form from the previous
delineation of Morita and Maria Stuardo. It was
difficult to imagine that it was the same tragedienne,
so versatile are her attributes. She succeeds in
identifying herself completely with her assumption,
and, as on former occasions, presents the part in its
totality, and not in shreds and patches. The effect
she produced on her auditory was greater than before,
and the curtain fell amidst continued plan .its, and
twice was she compeiled to reappear by the fashion-
able auditory, amongst whom were many artistic
celebrities of many nations.

THE SOCIETY FOR THE PROPAOATION OF THE GOS-
PEL IN Fteamos PARTS held its annual meeting at
Willis's-rooms on Wednesday. Mr. Gladstone, in
moving the first resolution, "that the growth of the
Colonial Church was an encouragement for the society
to persevere," said :
The experience of the past was full of encouragement.
The society carried upon its brow a zentury and a half of
dears, yet it showed none of the marks of debility atten-
dant upon age, but, on the contrary, had exhibited within
the last twenty years a youthful vigour which any institu-
tion even of yesterday might envy. About twenty years
ago the society was mainly, though not exclusively, stipen-
diary upon the bounty of the State, the voluntary contri-
butions of private Christians not amounting to more than
6,000/. or 7 0001. Nothing was now received from the
State, but the voluntary contributions had been increased
from 6,00)11. or 7,3001. to 0.000/. or 70,00)11., and he did
not anticipate the society would stop there. Ever since
the Reformation, it had been made a matter of reproaoh
against the Church of England that under the shade of
State protection she could live, but if thrown upon her own
resources the native poverty of the institution would not
fail to exhibit itself. That question had been fairly tried
in the colonies, and the result was that in every quarter
we saw not only the complete development of the Chinch
in its organisation and ministry, but a steady and program.
sive movement on the part of the Church toward. giving

Mr. BOWYER. remarked that the Italian Foschinii:
who had lately stabbed a compatriot in London, heel
hitherttvetriitied research. He inquired whether any
means had been taken to secure his apprehension.
Sir G. Girt described the efforts that were ,
making to capture the criminal, of whom a descrip-
tion bed been forwarded to all the outposts, and to
every Dowry where by the existing treaties offenders
against the Enelish criminal law would be arrested
and given up. There were, be believed, good grounds,
to believe that the culprit in question, whom his
fellow retngees were supposed to have kept con.
cealed in this country, would be even yet brought to
trial for his offence.

THE AMERICAN QUESTION.

adjourn to Monday,
Mr. GLADSTONE inquired when the answer of the
British Government to the recent despatch of Mr.
Marcy, with reference to the dismissal of Mr.
Crampton from Washington, would he laid on the
table.
Lord PAntEasToN explained the reason which
rendered it, in his opinion, still inexpedient tt) enter
upon any formal discussion of the question, but pro-
mised to lay the paper before the house on some
early day in the ensuing week.
Sir J. PAIIINOTON confessed to feelings of deep
alarm and anxiety at the existing state of our rela-
tionship with the United States. Judging from the
papers already in the possession of Parliament, he
had arrived at the conclusion that the discreditable
result had chiefly arisen from the unwise policy of
her Majesty's Ministers, who had at once irritated
and deceived the United States Government. He
hoped that the discussion would not be long
postponed.
Sir G. GREY remonstrated against any attempt to
prejudge the question.
Mr. Mooex intimated his readiness to proceed
with his motion on the subject at the earliest
opportunity.
Tha subject then dropped, and the motion for ad-
journment was agreed to.

THE PRESS.

by Lord DERBY. At present the schools are
worked in such a manner as to he Presby-
terian in Ulster, and Roman Catholic in
Munster. In the latter district, and in much
of Connaught, the Roman Catholic priesthood
are the chief directors of the schools, and
none but Catholics attend them. Theoreti
cally, the system is a united one, but prac-
tically it is discordant and partial. Parliament
votes money for uniting the Irish children in
a joint scheme cf school education, but the
facts show that it might just as well give
separate grants to the various sects, as adopt
the present system. Yet, not " quite as well,"
but, as some would say, " much better," be
cause if money were voted to the separate
sects, at least the children of the Establish-
ment would have some of it, whereas now the
"Church Education Society" has to rely on
it own funds, while it sees the money of the
State given for the teaching of other deno•
minations.

But it may be said that it is " the proselytising
bigotry " of the clergy of the Establishment
which prevents them from adopting the pre-
sent rules of the " National !Board." In an-
swer to that assertion, we must remind our
readers that High Church and Low Church
clergy, Whigs and Tories, Conservatives and
Liberals, are to be found in the Establishment
in Ireland, and that even several clerical
" Liberals" cannot conscientiously take part
in the system. Is it not strange, while several
Roman Catholic priests of the Archbishop
'WHALE school refuse to join in the National
System, that an overwhelming preponderance
of the Establishment is entirely opposed to
it? Does not this fact show that the numerical
conviction of the Established clergy is against
the disparaging position in which they are
placed ? And shall not Parliament do some-
thing to redress this grievance, and give their
case a fair hearing?
Last of all, let it be recollected that the
Archbishop of DUBLIN and Mr. BLACKBURNE
have both been compelled, conscientiously, to
relinquish their places as directors of the Na-
tional Board, from a sense of the Board having
become oue-sided ; and that Mr. WALpoLE's
resolution was directed against all prose-
lytism, providing " that no child will be com-
" pelled to learn any creed, catechism, or for-
" mulary, to which any parent or guardian may
" object ;" and who is there that can refuse to
listen to so reasonb.ble a request as that
made by the Member for Cambridge Uni-
versity? Above all, let it not he forgotten
that the system was an experimental one ;
that it does not rest on long prescription ;
that it is open to great improvement ;
and that it is only matter for official
diplomacy to see about carrying out the pro-
position of Mr. WALPOLE without disturbing
the system ; and we have stated enough to
show that the House of Commons has many
valid reasons for adhering to its vote of Tues-
day, and refusing to rescind it at the orders of
the Treasury.

PRACTICAL LIBERALISM.

THE political character of the present Cabi-
net, and the conduct to the great mass of its
supporters, exhibit extraordinary features.
We are now governed by a Ministry of Tory-
fied Whigs, kept in place by a combination of
loose Liberals and renegade Radicals. Lord
PALMERSTON, in his own laxity. personifies the
policy of his followers. On all social topics,
on organisation of the Civil Service, on
education, on political economy, the Premier's
tone and habit of thinking are just such as
would have been fashionable in a Tory of
forty years ago He cannot hide his contempt
for the personal pretensions of a large class
of the representatives of the northern towns
who sit behind him, and he is not at any
pains to conceal his defereiise to the scruples
and wishes of the Conservative gentry of
England. He does not fear Lord JOHN Rus-
SELL, and he does not case about Lord GREY,
nor does he apprehend any danger from the
opposition of Independent Radicals. He
knows well how offices about the Court,
largesses of illicit patronage, and glimpses
of possible baronetcies, can " manage " the
lip-Liberals of the present time.
The conduct of these gentlemen shows how
unconscious they are that there are such things
as constituencies in the world. We have no
desire to use hard words, but, judging of the
diversity between the principles and the prac-
tices of the Liberal Members, we are entitled
to say that such glaring hollowness of politics
was never before seen in Parliament. The
Liberal M.P.'s swarm to a division for the
" Ballot ;" they make a point of mustering
against the lush Church; they support vague
proposals for impossible changes, and recon-
cile a speculative admiration for imaginary
reforms with a servile acquiescence in sys-
tematised jobbery. The question is, there•
fore, forced on our consideration whether the
Liberals are sincere in any of their avowed
objects beyond the selfish desire of place. If
they were in earnest about the levelling
schemes which they profess, would it not be
natural for them to tell the Premier that they
would not support his Cabinet unless he sup•
ported their measures? On the other hand,
if they are not in earnest, how contemptible is
their conduct ! They regard the retention of
office in their own hands as of more import-
ance than the triumph of their principles.
They allow themselves to be absorbed by the
Spirit of Jobbery, which in our times seems to
be their sole animating purpose.

willing, and at the same time be admirably
fitted, for the posts in question. Many of
these have retired at an early age under hopes
and expectations which have not been fulfilled,
while others in the various commercial crashes
which have occurred have lost the greater por-
tions of the incomes they were possessed of
when they quitted India. Some, again, not
straitened in means, are tired of England, and
would be very willing to engage abroad once
more in professional life. All of them have a
more or less intimate knowledge of India and
its languages, while several of them have
already filled with credit the offices of district
or cantonment magistrates, or other respon-
sible appointments of various kinds. In short,
they are of all others the men best fitted by
their antecedents for the office of district ma-
gistrate in India. We do nut mean to say that
every retired officer is so fitted, or that any
indiscriminate employment of retired officers
in such duties would be at all advisable. But
what we do say is, that numbers of them are
persons in the highest degree qualified ; that
by a judicious selection the services of these
might be obtained ; and that the means of
making this selection without even a risk of
failure are existing at the India house, where
every retired Company's officer's previous
career is both known and recorded. In Ire-
land, in Ceylon, and in the other colonies, as
well as in the English rural districts, retired
officers are generally found to be the best men
in such appointments. With a proper limit,
therefore, as to the age of candidates and other
qualifications, we do not see why the Govern-
ment should fail to find them equally useful in
supplying the great and pressing want at
present felt of district magistrates in India.
