MAYNOOTH.

Mr. WHALLEY postponed his motion for the 19th a
May to the 2d of June.
SEA FISHERIES.

Mr. FENWICK gave notice that on this day month he
should move that an enquiry be instituted into the present
state of the sea fisheries and the laws and regulations
affecting them, with the view of increasing the supply of
wholesome and nutritious food. (Hear, hear.)
ARMY PRIZE MONEY.

Col. NORTH gave notice that on the 2d of June he
should move that an humble address be presented to her
Majesty to appoint a commission to inquire into the distri-
bution of prize money in the army.
THE ATTACK ON SHON-HING.

Col. SYKES asked the Secretary to the Admiralty if any
and what measures were to be adopted consequent upon
Captain R. Dew, of her Majesty's ship Encounter, employ-
ing part of the naval force under his command in an unsuc-
cessful attack upon the city of Shon-hing, in which Lieu-
tenant Tinling, of the Encounter, was killed, Shon-hing
being many miles beyond the 30 mile radius from a treaty
port ?

Lord C. PAGET replied that as yet no official account
of the disaster had reached the Admiralty. Instructions,
however, had been sent out ordering that no Government
ships should go beyond the 30 mile radius referred to.
GREENWICH HOSPITAL.

Mr. CON IN GRAM asked the Secretary of the Admiralty
whether it was the intention of the Government to take im-
mediate steps to remedy the abuses alleged to exist
in the administration of the funds of Greenwich Hos-
pital, and at once give practical effect to the Regis-
tered Seam( n's Act, which gave the seamen's six-
pences monthly to the hospital, and also declared that
the widows and orphans of seamen, slain, killed, ordrowned
in the sea service, and not of ability to maintain or provide
comfortably for themselves, should be received into the said
hospital, or in some reasonable manner be provided for and
educated ?
Lord C. PAGET replied that as an hon. member (Mr.
Liddell) had given notice of a similar motirn for Friday, he
would rather prefer deferring his reply until that evening.
POOR LAW (SCOTLAND).
_ _ _

Mr. DALGLISH asked the Lord Advocate whether he
intended to bring in any bill to explain the Existing poor
law of Scotland in regard to the occasional relief of able-
bodied poor?
The LORD ADVOCATE intimated that as some doubt
had arisen in the law courts of Scotland in regard to the
administration of the poor law, a short act to interpret the
old act would most probably be introduced during tke
present session.
DRAWBACK ON REFINED SUGAR.

Mr. MOFFATT asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether the interim inquiry as to the drawback on exporta-
tion of refined sugar was complete, and when it was pro-
bable the report would be laid upon the table.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
should lose no time in making the house partakers of any
information that might reach him on the subject. He un-
derstood the report bad been completed,—it had not yet
reached his hands, but he anticipated it would in a few
days,
PERU—CRUELTIES COMMITTED ON CAPTAIN
WHITE NUTYILLE.

Col. DUNNE asked the Under Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs what steps had teen taken to obtain redress
for the cruelties inflicted by the Peruvian Government on
Captain White Nutville, a British subject.
Mr. LAYARD replied that the case of Captain White
Nutville was one of the worst he ever remembered. It
appeared he was arrested on an unfounded charge. He was
put into prison, and treated with the greatest barbarity ;
indeed the punishment inflicted upon him was a disgrace to
that country. Alter being in prison he was liberated on
the
representation of the British Consul. No reason was
given for the conduct to which Captain utville was sub-
jected. The matter was referred to the law officers
of the Crown, and they reported that he was en-
titled to compensation, and £4,500 was suggested,

and that sum was received from
and paid to him. (Bear Peruvian Government
that Captain Nutville was dissa.)tisfiedt appeared, however,
with this sum, and
actually demanded £292,171.(Much laughter.) He
would mention a few of the items. `‘ Tlir

The Government had not deemed it right to make any "')
ad-
ditional demand upon the Peruvian Government (Hear.) .

Both sides had agreed to refer the matter to arbitration, and
so doubt a satisfactory decision would be arrived at.
IRISH POOR LAW.
In reply to an HON. MEMBER,
Sir R. PEEL said that he expected the report of the
commissioners woTHEuld be
PpresenETEtedßHOFF this evening.
.

Lord R. CECIL caned attention to a fresh statement in
the newspapers to the effect that Admiral Wilkes had de-
clined to permit the mail bags of the Peterhof from being
sent on. Had the Foreign-office received any intelligence
upon the matter?
Mr. LAYARD replied that his former answer was
strictly correct. Mr. Seward had informed Lord Lyons
that the mail bags should at once be forwarded to their
destination without being opened. A gentleman had come
to this country to settle the matter with respect to mail
bags, as no case of the kind had formerly occurred. No
further information than that he had already communicated
to the house had been received at the Home-office.

EDUCATION.
Mr. WALTER then rose to move the following resolu-
tions :-1. That it is the opinion of this house that the sums
smnually voted by Parliament for educational purposes ought
to be made applicable to all the poerer schools throughout
the country (not being private schools, or carded on
for profit), in which the attendance and examination of the
ohiLdren exhibit the results required, under the revised j
