shot without trial.' Surely we have come to a
pretty pass, if our countrymen and the subjects of
our Sovereign, are to be inveigled by false pre.
tences, taken far away from the protection of their
own laws, and then murdered in reality, because it
is all a sham about martial law when they were
only meek soldiers, having been dupes and victims
from the outset. The noble marquis made some
earnest observations in conclusion as to the necessity
of doing something to controvert these manoeuvres.
He very truly said that he did not want war, but
if he was asked did he propose to go to war if remon-
-1 strances failed, be would reply, %Vhst were we
ever to go to war for if not for maintaining the
honour and dignity of the country. This sentence
should be stereotyped in the minds of our vacillat-
ing Government and timid politicians. "Why did
we pay thirty millions a year for our army and
navy if these forces were not to be employed in
maintaining the honour of the country, and afford-
ing protection to our fellow countrymen." This
is the only right Way of putting the question, and
until we have Ministers who will consider national
honour and the rights of our subjects to be the
primary object of their efforts and the legitimate
st strong goal of their.exertions, we shall always be an-
noyed by these casualties. Every State in turn
will use our advantages, and take care to
abuse
terms if we do not concede
to them
their requests. It is strange
that a more general expression of indignation is
ine
every pretty
iotag
of n
not manifested by the House concerning the con-
duct of the Government. The session is wearing
away, and speeches, however brilliant, will not
remedy matters if once the recess arrives without
anything decided or definite being done. It is the
same in America, the same in Prussia. We are at
a discount, and the old notion that an Englishman
need only proclaim his birthsplece to be treated
with respect, is now quite out of date. The men
now in office cannot much longer carry on the affairs,
of the country; but they will leave a legacy behind
them that for many years may not bs altogether
got rid of. When once the prestige of a country is
injured, it is long before it can be restored ; it is
more difficult to rehabilitate a reputation than to
make one sometimes,

BELFAS r IMPROVEMENT (No. 2) BILL.

•
On the motion for the third reading of this bill,
Mr MAGUIRE said that he had again to apply to the
house fora postponement of this bill. He travelled over the
ground that he had originally taken in order to show that
there was argument for the postponement of the bill, as a
strong feeling existed in Belfast against its provisions,
which was developed by the fact that no less than £20,000
had been subscribed by the Protestant as well asthe Roman
Catholic party to defeat the measure, which was ob-
noxious to the inhabitants of Belfast generally. The
feeling was that the object of the bill was to
enable the Corporation of Belfast to disfranchise
a larger body of the inhabitants. He contended that a
public and not a private bill was necessary in dealing with
the subject of the present measure, which was t3o important
to be disposed of by private legislation.
Mr. WHITESIDE denied the accuracy of the statement
of the hon. T.-Amber for Dungannon (Mr. Maguire) aa to
the unpopularity of the bill, the necessity for which he said
was admitted by the inhabitants of Belfast, notwithstanding
the statement of the hon. member for Dungannon to the
contrary.

After some further discussion the amendment was with-
drawn, and the bill was read a third time and passed.
DUBLIN IMPROVEMENT BILL.

On the order of the day for the consideration of this bill,

Sir B. GROGA.7`.T moved several amendments, and en-
tered into details to establish the necessity of the course
which he advocated.

Sir P. O'BRIEN, as having been connected with the
corporation of Dablin, vindicated this body from the impli-
cation of being actuated by any unfair motive in regard t„)
this bill.

After some discussion a division took place on the ques-
tion of an amendment to the effect that there should be a
certain omission from the bill, exempting the corporation
from the liabilities specified in the body of the bill.

The house divided and the amendment was negatived,
the numbers being—

For the amendment
Against it
Majority -5
Ur. VANCE then moved that the bill should be recom-
mitted, Which led to another discussion and another divi-
sion.

The bill Was accordingly considered, and ordered for third
reading.

'HE JOURNEY OF THE KING OF
PRUSSIA,

HAMBURG, April 22, Evening.
Yesterday afternoon the King of Prussia arrived
at the C3stle of Gravenstein, and after a short stay
proceeded to Atabull, where he saluted the regi-
ments which had been engaged in storming the
Duppel redoubts. His MHjesty praised and thanked
several of the officers and soldiers, and the whole
of the troops defiled before the King; after which
he took his leave, and at 4.30 p.m. went on to the
trenches. Early this morning Herr von Bismark,
accompanied by Herr Kendell, councillor of lega-
tion, passed through 'hamburg on his way to join
the King of Prussia. It is faid that the object of
the King's visit to the duchies is to sound the
population, and to pare the way for a vote in con-
formity with the views of the Prussian government.
It is also seta that the Emperor of Austria is ex-

Naval and Military Intelligence.
'IHE NAVY.

Her Majesty's screw steamship Irresistible, 68 guns, 2,642
tons, which has been recently fitted for the penaant at Sheer-
ness and commissioned by Capt. John B. Dickson as Coast-
guard vessel in the Southampton Waters, in the place of
the Dauntless, 31, was taken from her moorings in the har-
bour at Sheerness to the Maplin Sands, on the 21st inst., for
the trial of her machinery at the measured mile. The vessel
was in charge of Capt.W. K. Hall, C. 8., chief of the Sheer
ness Steam Reserve, and the machinery was under the su-
perintendence of Mr. W. Rumble, inspector of machinery
afloat at Sheerness during the trial. Tho engines, which
...re of 400 horse nominal power, and were built by Messrs.
John Penn and Sons, worked most satisfactorily. They
were free from hot bearings and priming, and attained an
average speed of 8.622 knots at full boiler power, pressure
of steam 201 b, vacuum 27, revolutions of engines 64. Two
runs were made at half boiler power, giving a mean speed
of 7.233 knots, pressure of steam 181 b, vacuum 28, revolu-
tions 54. The draught of water during the trial was 23ft
Tin forward and 25ft 3in aft. The Irresistible is fully
rigged, has all her stores on board, and is waiting final
orders for her departure. In consequence of the strong
easterly wind ;the speed of the ,ship was not so groat as
could otherwise have been obtained.
Her Majesty's screw corvette Scout, 21 guns, and 400-
horse-power, Capt. J. Corbett, was put out of commission
and paid off into the Chatham Steam Reserve yesterday,
under the superintendence of Capt. C. Wise, naval aide-de-
camp to the Queen. The Scout has been in commission
nearly 5 years, and has been employed during the whole of
that period in the Eastern waters, the coast of China, and
the East Indies. Out of the crew who originally lest Eng-
land in the Scout only about 100 men return in her, the re-
mainder having died or been invalided. During the time
the Scout has been in commission there bas not been on
beard any case of insubordination in which punishment was
inflicted, For several days before she was paid off a flag
flaunted above her figurehead, on which were inscribed the
words " happy Scout." Before the ship's company sepa-
rated yesterday Capt. Corbett assembled the whole of them
on the quarterdeck, when he briefly addressed them, ex-
pressing the pleasure it had afforded him to command such
a well-conducted body of petty officers and men. He trusted
it would be his good fortune to meet many of them again in
any other ship to which he might be appointed. The Scout
will require extensive repairs before she is again placed in
commission.

in Chief, held a levee yesterday at the Horse Guards,

SENTENCE OF DEATH.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH moved the first read-
ing of a bill relieving the Home Secretary from the sole
responsibility of deciding whether or not the sentence of
death should be carried into effect. Until the reign of her
present Majesty the:necessity of considering the propriety
of carrying sentences into effect fell upon the whole
Cabinet and the Sovereign. The bill now before their
lordships did not propose to require her Majesty
should have the painful duty cast upon her, or even that
she should be present at the consideration; but it pro-
posed to revive the ancient practice, as far as
th 3 subject should be considered by the Govern-
ment, and that the result arrived at should be em-
bodied in an order of the Queen in Council. If the Govern-
ment approved of the principle of the bill he hoped they
would take the bill up themselves and carry it through its
remaining stages as a Ministerial measure,
Tho bill was read a first time.
ENGLISH AND IRISH LAW COURTS.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE called attention to
the first report of the commission of inquiry into the Eng-
lish and Irish courts of law and chancery, and asked the
Government whether they intended to introduce bills in
accordance with the recommendations of that report during
the present session, and also, whether a fuller report of the
commissioners was likely to be presented soon, and when
they were likely to have the judicial statistics.

Earl GRANVILLE said the Government intended to
intrAuce a bill founded on the recommendations of the
commission, which he hoped would be satisfactory to the
noble marquis. The judicial statistics had been nearly
completed, and he hoped they would be ready in June, and
the second report would be made probably in the early part
of July.

will not be overlooked. So long as open voting
continues to be the practice, so long will bribery,
influence, and intimidation be the rule rather than
the exception. The meeting at Manchester seems
to have left this point rather in the background,
but it must be made a sine qua non if real and
substantial reform is wanted. Who will give it
remains to be seen. It is certain to encounter a
formidable opposition, being entirely for the good
of the people that no political interest can profit
by it, Meanwhile the coming election will give
the country an opportunity of testing its repre-
sentatives on the point, and we look upon the
organisation of the National Reform Conference as
a favourable sign of the times.

her ladyship's decease, will be divided in certain

BURYING DEAD BODIES IN INDIA.

Lord STANLEY asked the Secretary of State for India
whether it was true that the Government of Bengal had
issued an order prohibiting the burning of dead bodies on
the banks of the Hooghly river; whether the terms of that
order, and the reasons on whieh it was based,had been made
known to him; and, if so, whether there was any objection
to make them public ?
Sir C. WOOD said there were no despatches on the sub-
ject, but he had received private letters, from which
it appeared that for some weeks the cholera had been pre-
valent in Calcutta, and the inhabitants had been consider-
ing what steps should be taken to prevent the eat ension
of the disease. Throwing dead bodies into the Hooghly
had been prohibited. With regard to the burning of dead
bodies, he understood that there had been no order on the
subject.
