FISHERIES (IRELAND) BILL.

The house went into committee on this bill, and the con-
sideration of the clauses occupied the remainder of the

sitting.
The house resumed at six o'clock.
THE KING OF OUDE'S CLAIMS.

Colonel FRENCH asked why the investigation into the
claims of the King of Oude was to take place in India,
when the parties, and he believed all the documents, were
in England.
Sir C. OOD said the papers and parties might be here,
but he had reason to believe that the most important evi-
dence was not in England but in India, and therefore that
was the proper place to hold the inquiry.

Sir Henry Bulwer as a Ireemason.

From the Smyrna Mail of the 23d ult. (just re-
ceived), we extract the following :-...

" The Levant Herald states that on Monday, the
15th inst., Sir H. L. Bulwer, as R. W. P. G. M.,
received a large number of the Freemasons of the
different lodges of the capital at the British Em-
bassy, for the purpose of hearing a lecture from
Mr. J. P. Brown on " The Dervishes and Free-
masonry." The lecture displayed an amount of
research and ability in the 'matter in which he
dealt with bis subject that well maintained his high
reputation as an Orientalist. At the conclusion
the ambassador warmly thanked Mr. Brown,
and expressed the great interest he felt in the
subject. The V. W. D. P. G. M. Hyde Clarke,
in an admirable address, expressive of the
appreciation of the service rendered by Mr. Brown,
urged on the members of the craft to cultivate lite-
rature as one of the best aids to advance the true
interests of their order. In the course of some ex-
planatory remarks, Mr. Brown stated his intention
of publishing the results of his investigations on this
interesting subject. Sir Henry subsequently
addressed the brethren in masonic terms, stating his
desire that they should have many future reunions
of a similar nature to that evening, and that he
would always be happy to render what assistance
he could to advance the interests of the craft. Be-
fore the company broke up refreshments were
served. The meetings of the Balwer Lodge are to
be held at the Embassy for the future on the seaond
Thursday in the month."

HARWICH FORESHORES.

Captain JERVIS asked the Secretary to the Treasury
how the foreshores in Harwich harbour, near the entrance
to the Stour, purchased by the commissioners appointed by
the 7th Queen Anne, chap. 26, for the purpose of fortifica-
tions. came into the possession of the Woods and Forests.
Mr. F. PEEL said that, by an act of 11 George IV., the
foreshores at Harwich had been placed under the manage•
ment of the surveyor to the Commissioners of Woods and
Forests for 150 years.

Captain JERVIS—But I am now asking about land
purchased expressly for fortifications.
Dlr. F. PEEL said he could not give any further answer
at present.
Captain JERVIS—Then I will put the question another
day.

Society for the Employment of Women.

The annual meeting of the friends and suppor-
ters of this society was held yesteeday at 'Nillis'a
Rooms—the Earl of Shaftesbury in the chair.
The SECRETARY read the report detailing the
operations of the society for the past year. In the
course of that period the number of applications
made for employment fully testified to the neces-
sity for such an institution, and far exceeded the
means of the society. The great majority of the
applicants required such a description of employ-
ment as did not require any previous training, and
showed the necessity of parents training up their
daughters to some employment to which they could
turn in times of emergency. The attendance at the
adult class of Missßurehette's school averaged eight
pupils, and the total number who had joined the
class since the close of the summer term of last year
had be en 32. The report having referred to several
cases in which the committee had procured employ-
ment for applicants, appealed to the public to sup-
port an institution established to supply a great
want in the present state of society, and to relieve
the distress which prevailed to so large an extent
amongst the female portion of the community.
Mr. M.MILNES, M.P., moved the adoption of the
report. It was gratifying to perceive that the so-
ciety had done so much with the limited means at
its command. Public sympathy had been directed
to the poor girl who had lately fallen a victim to
one of the evils her class were at present subjected
to, but the difficulties in meeting this system were
very great. He had always thought it would be a
good thing if establishments such as that in which
this young girl had died were subjected to the pro-
visions of the act of Parliament regulating model
lodging houses, which in those cases worked bene-
ficially.
Sir F. GOLDSMID seconded the adoption of the
report, which was unanimously agreed to.
Mr. A. KINNAIRD, MY., moved a resolution
pointing out the duty of patents giving their daugh-
ters proper education and training, so as to fit them
for the exercise of the duties of life. There were
many fields of employment open for women. Miss
Faithfull had already shown how well adapted
women were to pursue the calling of compositors,
and there were many other light employments in
which they could be equally as profitably em-
ployed.
The Rev. Mr. KEMPE seconded the resolution,
which was also carried.
The meeting was afterwards addressed by Mr. G.
Hastings and Dr. Lankester, and a vote of thanks
to the chairman, suitably acknowledged, closed the
proceedings.

HARWICH FORESHORES.

Captain JERVIS asked the Secretary to the Treasury
how the foreshores in Harwich harbour, near the entrance
to the Stour, purchased by the commissioners appointed by
the 7th Queen Anne, chap. 26, for the purpose of fortifica-
tions, came into the possession of the Woods and Forests,
Mr. F. -PEEL said that, by an act of 11 George 1:7,, the
foreshores at Harwich had been placed under the manage-
ment of the surveyor to the Commissioners of Woods and
Forests for 150 years.

Captain JERVIS—But I am now asking about land
purchased expressly for fortifications.
Mr. F. PEEL said he could not give any further answer
at present.
Captain JERVIS—Then I will put the question another
day.

RIGHTS OF. NEUTRALS.
Mr. CARNEGIE asked whether, in the existing state
of affairs in America, it was contrary to international law
to consign arms,
ammunition, or medicines to the ports of
Queh.c, Nassau, Matamoros, and Havana; and whether a
vessel containing such articles, and bound to any of those
ports, would be liable to condemnation by a prize court.
The SOLICITOR. GENERAL said h e should have
thought, after the recent numerous discussions, that
anybody might have answered that question for him-
self. He had only to say that the four ports men-
tioned were all neutral ports, and no bona fide consign-
ment to any of them would be liable to seizure. At the
same time that was only an abstract question, and the con-
test generally raised was as to the consignment being bona
fide; but he was not aware that the prize courts of America
had laid down any new doctrine upon that point.
SEIZURE OF GROWING CROPS (IRELAND).
Sir H. BRUCE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
whether he would introduce this session a bill on the subject
of the seizure of growing crops in Ireland.
Sir R. PEEL said he would move to bring in a bill Gil
Monday next.

EIGHTS OF NEUTRALS.

Mr. CARNEGIE asked whether, in the existing state
of affairs in .America, it was contrary to international law
to coneign arms, ammunition, or medicines to the ports of
Quebec, Nassau, Matamoras, and Havana; and whether a
vessel containing- such articles, and bound to any of those

- THE BENGAL MILITARY FUND.
Major HAMILTON asked the Secretary of State for
India if, in pursuance of despatch to the Governor-General
of India, dated Dec. 27, 1862 (N 0.482), her Majesty's Go-
ver:lment were prepared to guarantee payment of pensions
to widows and orphans of subscribers to the Bengal Mili-
tary Fund at the rates now paid.

Sir C. WOOD said he had no doubt that payments under
the Widow and Orphan Fund would be secured, but those
were private funds under the management of officers who
were members of the service, and who were responsible for
the management or mismanagement of them.
PUBLIC WORKS (IRELAND).
Sir 11. BRUCE asked the Secretary to the Treasury
whether their lordships would sanction the Commissioner
of Public Works in Ireland advancing to the town commis-
sioners of Coleraine moneys fur the improvement of the
navigation of the Bann, under the provisions of their Act
obtained this session; and whether they would sanction a
free grant of part of the money for the same purpose, it
being for the completion of a great work executed by the
Board of Works in Ireland.
Mr. F. PEEL said the Board of Works in Ireland had
not yet made any application to the Treasury for their sanc-
tion to a loan, and the Government had no authority to
make grants of money for the purpose mentioned.

Society for the Employment of Women.

The annual meeting of the friends and suppor-
ters of this society was held yesterday at Willis's
Rooms—the Earl of Shaftesbury in the chair.
The SECRETARY read the report detailing the
operations of the society for the past year. In the
course of that period the number of applications
made for employment fully testified to the neces-
sity for such an institution, and far exceeded the
means of the society. The great majority of the
applicants required such a description of employ-
ment as did not require any previous training, and
showed the necessity of parents training up their
attendance

daughters to some employment to
turn in times of emerg
adult class of Miesßurchette's school averaged eight
pupils, and the total number who had joined the
class since the close of the summer term of last year
had been 32. The report having referred to several
cases in which the committee had procured employ-
ment for applicants, appealed to the public to sup-
port an institution established to supply a great
want in the present state of society, and to relieve
the distress which prevailed to so large an extent.
amongst the female portion of the community.
Mr. M. MILNES, ALP., moved the adoption of tho
report. It was gratifying to perceive that the so-
ciety had done so much with the limited means at
its command. Public ssreDpathy had been directed
to the poor girl who had lately fallen a victim to
one of the evils her class were at present subjected
to, but the difficulties in meetiteg this system were
very great. He had always thought it would be a
good thing if establishments euele As that in which
this young girl had died were subjected to the pro-
visions of the act .of Parliament regulatieg model
lodging houses, which in those castes worked bene-
ficially.
Sir F. GOLDSMID seconded the adoption of the
report, which was unanimously agreed. to.
Mr. A. KINNAIRD, M.P., moved tt resolution
pointing out the duty of parents giving their daugh-
ters proper education and training, so as to fit them
for the exercise of the duties of life. There were
many fields of employment open for women. Miss
Faithfull had already shown how well adapted
women were to pursue the calling of compositors,
and there were many other light employments in
which they could be equally as profitably em-
ployed.
The Rev. Mr. KEMPE seconded the resolution,
which was also carried.
The meeting was afterwards addressed by Mr. G.
Hastings and Dr. Lunkester, and a vote of thanks
to the chairman, suitably acknowledged, closed the
proceedings.
