WINDOW BREAKING IN IRELAND.

The Earl of LEITRIM then moved for certain papers
relating to some windows being broken at Eskcragh, alias
Esker South, in the parish of Mobil', borough of Mobil',
counry of Leitritu, between the 24th and 30 h day of March,
1864. His lordship detained the house nearly a quarter of
au hour in detailing the particulars of this case, which he

made the medium of another violent attack upon the Earl
of Carlisle. He concluded by denouncing the noble earl as
a traitor to his Queen, his country, and his religion.
Earl GRANVILLE declined to defend Earl Carlisle
agst such observations, He was ready to give a portion of
the Impers asked tor.
The motion as amended was then agreed to.
Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—Last Evening.
Mr TREHERNE calle•f attention to the injury which
the staple trades of Coventry had suffered, and were still
suffering, from the operation of the commercial treaty with
France—and asked the Government whether they would
use their influence with the French G ivernment to obtain
the same free admission into France of English ribbons and
watches as was accorded by that treaty, ou the principle of
free trade, to French manufactures of a similar description
into England.

Sir J. PAX lON thought that the retention of a duty
upon the imp .rt ut ribbons into Fiance was a defeat in the
commercial treaty with trait country, and urged upon the
tievernment the necessity of making representations to the
Empero, of the French with the view of inducing him to
remit the impost.
Mr GIBSON would be glad to Pee a better market
created on the Continent for cheap ribbons manufactured
at Coventry. It could not be said, however, that the
existing rates of duty on ribbons going into France were
exorbitant, though he granted that they steed in the way
of trade in the interior sorts; but he was happy to find that
during the first five months of the present year there was
a considerable increase in the export of British silk rib-
bons. He did not regard the distress that hal prevailed
at Coventry as a result of the French treaty, or as that
which it was within the power of legislation to remove.
Her Majesty's Government would be only too glad to see
the same freedom of import existing in France and other
countries that we had permitted those countries to enjoy
here.

Mr NEWDEGATE stated that the depression of the
Coventry trade, consequent upon the new commercial ar-
rangements, had been such as to drive between 11,000 and
12,000 people from the district. He hoped the Govern-
ment would represent to the Emperor that whereas France
had reaped great advantages from that treaty, it was only
fair and just to place English silk goods, and particularly
ribbons, imported into France upon the same footing as
that upon which French goods were received in this
country.

The subject then dropped, and the house soon after went
into committee of supply.
Mr 11. BRUCE moved the remainder of the vote for
education, and in doing so entered into a variety of statistics
in explanation of the distribution of the grants, the number
of schdols in operation, the pupils attending them, and the
general effects produced by the new revised code.
A lengthened discussion ensued, in which Mr Adderley,
Lord R. Cecil, Sir S. Northeote, Sir J. Pakington, Lord H.
Vane, Sir G. Bowyer, Mr Lowe, Mr Lygon, and Mr Pugh
took part. and the so-termed " Conscience clauses" were
submitted to considerable criticism,
Ultimately the vote was agreed to non. con,
On the vote of £97,582 for the Department of &LAIN)
and Art, Mr A. SNII lli moved to reduce the amount by
£15.000, the sum required for now buildings; but upon a
division the amendment was rejected by 131 to 73.
The vote was then agreed to, and the Chairman reported
progress.
