DISTLItiBANCES IN FRANCE.
PARIS, May 10.

The Gazette des 7rihnnaex of this morning states
that some disturbances took place last night. About
nine o'clock a large crowd rushed through the Fau-
bourg du Temple, shouting " Five la Republique,"
and singing the Marseillaise. They overturned three
omnibuses and erected a barricade at the corner of
that Faubourg and the Rue Fontaine, which was,
however, quickly removed. A body of Chasseurs
rode down the Faubourg, at full speed, shouting
" Vive l'Empereur." *

Another barricade was erated at the corn r of the
Rue Folie Mericourt, and 'Rue Fonta'ne, where
two omibuses were overtlrned, which were cleared
away by some of the Gardes de Paris, a large num-
ber of boys shouting out at the time " Vive
It.chefort." All
.the shop; in the district were
closed. A third barricade was erected at Meaux.
The sergents de \dile dispersed the mob, which then
passed down the Boulevard de La Valet! e. A large
crowd assembled at the barracks of the Chateau
d'Eau, when a body of troops came out, and after
the prescribed summons charged the mob to clear the
street. It is stated that one of
.the fozers
was seriou-ly woanded by a bayonet thrust.
The same paper mentions that two serious
inciden s, namely, that a sentry on duty
in front of the barracks has disappeared, and that a
soldier of the 7th Regiment of the line during the
affray went over to the rioters with all his arms and
accoutrements. The deserter was arrested by the
sergents de ville. - Some groups of people cdlected
b.-fore the Garden of the Luxemt ourg, shouting
alternately " Vi‘e l'Armee !" and " Vive Roche-
fort ! "

Coniple'e order prevails in the provinces.

LAW AND POLICE.-Trui DAY

PREFERENCE SHAREHOLDERS AND ORDINARY SHAAE-
HOLDERS.—The case of the London and Provincial Tele-
graph Company, which was open ;d yesterday before Vice-
Chancehor James, was resumed to-day. The Government lied
purchased the rights of the compauy at double the value
of the shares, and the question at issue was among which
class of shareholders the surplus should be divided. '1 ho
Vice-Chancellor said he was very much struck with the
commercial position of the compauy. As far as his opinion at
present went it w-. 8 against the preference shareholders,
but if he had to decide the case as it stood at present he
would have to decide that £33,333 should be divided
amongst that class of shareholders. It was clearly a case
for arbitration. The proper application must be made to
the Board of Trade for the appointment of an arbitrator,
and the official liquidator of the company must send a cir-
cular to each of the shareholders, stating what be directed
to be done. All the parties should have their costs.
THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE'S AFFAIRS IN BANKRUPTCY. -
This morning an applicathp was made before Mr. Registrar
Roche under the bankruptcy of the Duke of Newcastle. Mr.
A. Muuns produced an affidavit made by himself, stating
the proceedings before Lord justice Gitlard and the Chief
Judge with reference to the. dismissal of the petition in
bankruptcy, and t 1 ‘e appeal by the Duke to the House
of Lords. He applied for au extension of time for the Duke's
surrender, in order that the object of the appeal should
not be prejudiced. Mr. B. Davis for the assignees said the
bankrupt had been summoned to attend and give evidence,
but he bad not been able to serve the summons upon him.
Another meeting was fixed for the 24th of this month ;
and if Mr. Munus would undertake that his grace
should attend that meeting, be would consent to the appli-
cation. His Honour said that notice of the application
ought to have been given six days before. By a former Act
of Parliament a bankrupt who failed to surrender was liable
to be hanged—(a
.laugli) and it the House of Lords con-
firmed the • decision of the Lords Justices and the Chief
Judge, the bankrupt would still have committed a criminal
offence. Lord Justice Giffard; in • giving judgment, had
made use of the term " dividend," which applied to the
civil portion of the bankruptcy law, and had reference
to the administration of the bankrupt's effects and
estate, and in his opinion contemplated that the bank-
ruptcy should go on. The application was then ad-
journed.

BRUTALLY ASSAULTING} A :ON. William lloey,
hawker, was charged at the Marlborough-street Police
Court, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with assaulting Wm. Hoey, his
son, about 12 years of ago. The complainant, whose face
bore marks of severe ill usage, said that he resided with the
prisoner, who was his father, in Pugh's-place, Carnaby-
street., and about one that morning the prisoner came home
drunk, having been drinking all the previous day, and
seized him by by the ears and threw him up to the ceiling.
His father then asked him for the change of a shilling he
bad given him on the previous day to get some tea, and he
told him it was on the table. In answer to Mr. Tyrs bitt,

the boy said he had a mother, but she was separated
from his father, and that he was often left at home
all day without food or any one to look after him. James
Callan, a young tnan, a tailor, living•in Pugh's-court, said
that seeing the boy, whose face was covered with blood,
washing himself at a pump, ho asked hint who had caused
his► injuries, and having ascertained from hint that they were
inflicted by his father, and knowing t hat his father had often
illused hint before, he took tho matter up and caused him lobe
taken into custody. ➢lr 'l'yrwhitt said the witness had
acted very kindly. Police-constable Lazarus Howes, 95 C,
said that on takir g the prisoner into custody he said that all
he had done was to give the boy a good box on the ears as
he had not given hint the change of a shilling, and that the
boy was very unruly. The prisoner said he was sorry
for what he had done, but his boy had be-
haved very badly. A witness was called by the prisoner,
and ho said he had employed the boy for nine weeks, and be
was very unruly. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the matter was clear
to him. The latter was away all day and came home late
at night, and having no one else to quarto' with quarrelled
with his sun. It was a cruel and cowardly assault, and he
should seutenee the prisoner to two mouths, with hard
labour.

►STRIKI\O PROOFS OF LOVE. —Bridget Coghlan, an Irish
watercress woman, was brought before Mr. Lushiugton at
the Thames Police-court, charged with • assaulting Johu

Davy, a stone mason, of No. Devonshire-street, St.
George-in-the-East. It appeared that Davy and Bridget had
lived togetlit.r as man and wife for Eptne time without the

Church sanctif3 jug their union. Davy dissolv,d the loose
contract without. the aid of a divorce, owing as he alleged to
the frailty of his unmarried spouse, and she commenced the

business of a water-cress vender. She did not forget her old
love, and she declared if he did not have her she would have

him,` and repeatedly hunted him along the streets, fre-
quented his place of business, hunted him in public houses
he visited, an when he rejectei her advances she assaulted
him. A few days ago she met him and made some advances,

which he rejected. She cut his left chock with a glass. He

deemed it no cowardice to run away from her, wont to
the hospital, and had the wound dressed. Yesterday she
met him again, she put down her basket, and ceased for a
moment the cry of "Buy my fresh water cresses," antl dealt
him a terrible blow with a stone on the cheek. He Lled
profusely, and a; pealed to a police constable, who took her
into custody. She was sentenced to 21 days' imprisonment
and hard labour.

EMBEZZLEMENT. Henry Gunn, late manager of the Tap
at the Westminster Palace Hotel, was charged at the West-
minster Police court on a summons with embezzling the
sum of 255., the moneys of the directors of the hotel com-
pany. On the 22d of AI ril the defendant absented. himself
from his employment the whole day, and at night his assis-
tant tapman, Joseph Wright, handed him £1 155., the day's
takings ;It was defendant's duty to pay that in to the
cashier next morning, but instead of doing so he only paid
in £3 10s, and in consequence of information he and the
assistant were callcd before Capt. Cossiss, secretary ; the
defendant did not deny the receipt of the money, but alleged
that he had paid ss. for provisions, 10s. he repaid himself
for change given, and 10s. he had kept back for a short day's
takings; such excuses could not be accepted. The defen-
dant was remanded, but bail accepted.

ROYAL CHRISTENING AT ST. JAMES'S PALACE.—
This morning the infant son of the Duke and Duchess of
St. Albans was christened at St. James's Palace. Her
Majesty stood sponsor in person, Miss Burdett Coutts being
the other godmother. The ceremony was strictly private.
The infant Earl is grandson to' the late General Grey, and
was born in the General's house about the time of that gen-
tleman's death.

.L%l PE:IIIAL PARLIAMENT,

HOUSE OF LORDS-MONDAY.

The Lora Chancellor took his seat on the woolsack at
five o'clock.
THE IRISH COLLEGE AT PARIS.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE called attention to the
claim of the Irish college at Paris, under the Treaty with
France, upon the British Government, and moved for
copies of the award made in the case of . the Rev.
Paul Lory as Administrator-General of the College
of the Commoners appointed for liquidating British
el-aims out of funds received from the French Govern-
ment, and of the judgment of the English Privy Council
in 1832 on the appeal from that award, and also for a
copy of the judgment in 1825 in the appeal case of the
English College at Douay.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said there would be no ob-
jection to the production of the papers moved for by the
noble marquis.

tutroduction of a bill to amend the law relating to proce•
dure at Parliamentary elections, and said that the bill
was a Ballot Bill in disguise.
Mr. GLADSTONTE said the bill was a,. Ballot Bill, but he
was not aware that there was any attempt at disguise.
If there were any desire to disguise the fact, the real
state of the case would be known when the bill was intro-
duced.

MONASTIC AND CONVENTUAL
INSTITUTIONS.
In reply to Mr. Newdegate,
Mr. GLADSTONE said the names of the gentlemen to
form the select committee on monastic and conventual
institutions would be submitted to the House that
evening.
THE IRISH LAND BILL.
The House then went into Committee on the Irish Land
Bill, and proceeded to discuss the amendments on clause
6, which refers to compensation in respect of
payment to-incoming tenants. Where a tenant
is not compensated under sections 1,2, and 3, if he, on
coming into the holding, paid for it with the consent of
the landlord, the court may award compensation in res-
pect of such payment. But he should not be entitled, if
he quits voluntarily, and does not avail him-
self of the landlords permission to obtain coin.
pensation from an incoming tenant. He is
not to have a twofold compensation for improvements
under this and some other section. Several amend-
ments were disposed of without either much discussion or
opposition.
Mr. SYNAN moved an amendment, the object of
which, he contended, was to make more certain the
right of a tenant, which, in view of the word "permission,"
was at present ambiguous.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for IRELAND tried to convince
the committee that it was unnecessary to alter the pre-
sent words of the section, and the amendment was
negatived.
Mr. Plat proposed to add words at the end of the
clause, making the section apply not only to
farms and agricnitural holdings, but also to town parks
and holdings in towns and villages.
Mr. C. FORTESCUE pointed out that it was never in-
ten•led that the bill should apply to town property, and
the amendment was negatived.
Mr. BRUEN moved an amendment providing that out of
moneys payable to the tenant under this section all sums
due to the landlord in respect of rent, &c., should be paid
to the landlord.
Mr. SYNAN opposed the proposition urging that the
Court would see that justice was done to the land-
lord.
The amendment, with a slight verbal addition, was
agreed to.
On the proposition that the clause as amended should
stand part of the Bill,
Mr. CORRANCE made a feeble protest against the prin-
ciple it involved.
The committee then proceeded to clause 7, which pro-
vides that in places subject to Ulster or other custom,
compensation for way-going crops to be regulated by that
custom. In other places the crops to be taken by the
tenant or paid for by the landlord.
The clause was after a short discussion agreed to, and

the committee considered
Clause 8, which provides that ejectment for non-pay-
ment of rent shall not be deemed a disturbance, except—
in case of the determination of a tenancy existingbefore
the Act—on special grounds, to be determined by the
court. A person so ejected it is provided shall have the
same rights under the Act as if he quitted voluntarily.
Dr. BALL moved to insert after the word " next," " or
for breach of any condition which the judge before whom
the action is tried shall consider reasonable."
Mr. DOWNING hoped the committee would not consent
to the adoption of the amendment, which, in his opinion,
would lead to great injustice and litigation.
Mr. C. FORTESCUE intimated that the Government
could not accept the proposition. It created absolute for-
feiture under the Act. •
Mr. SYNAN expressed his pleasure at hearing the Chief
Secretary for Ireland resist the proposal made by Dr.
Ball.
A division took place, when the amendment was
rejected by a majority of 81 votes.
Mr. CORRANCE then moved the insertion of the follow-
ing words in line 32, after the word " landlord," " and
any person who is -ejected for non-payment of rent shall,
if the court so decide, stand in the same position in all
respects as if he were quitting his holding voluntarily," omit-
ting those which now stood in the bill. He urged the House
to give its assent to the amendment, as it was far less
open to misconstruction than the original words in the
clause.
Mr- C. FORTESUE said the Government had most care-
full considered the matter, and the obj"ct of the clause
was confined simply to provide for the past, and
not the future. They proposed to leave the question
of rent to be determined between the parties, and it was
thought necessary to frame the clause in order not to debar
certain persons from the privileges and protection of
Clause 3.

After so:ne discussion,
Mr. GLADSTONE said they were trying to bring about a
Strict observance of contract, and in order to. do so they
were anxious to have a new starting point.. The clause was
framed to prevent the reckless competition for laud, irre-
spective of rent, which had so lung existed in Ireland.
The amendment, on a division, was negatived.
At this stage of the proceedings there was an almost ge-
neral retirement of members, and for some time the several
clauses and the amendments therein were considered by a
comparatively few members. During the evening,
however, the attendance became larger, and great
progress was male with the measure, and clauses
8,9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and lo were agreed to. The Govern-
ment Laving decided to omit clause 16, it was, on a decision,
left out. At twelve o'clock progress was. reported, and the
louse resumed.

PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS.

The Marquis of HARTINGTON moved for leave to bring
in a bill to amend the law relating to procedure at parlia-
mentary elections. He said that the bill Which he pro-
posed to introduce was founded mainly, but not entirely,
upon the recommendations of the select committee over
which he had presided ; but he must acknowledge
that in one particular it was directly opposed to
the recommendation of the committee. He believed,
however, that the House had never considered
itself bound absolutely by the decision or recom-
mendation- of any committee, but reserved to itself com-
plete liberty to reverse or modify any recommendation it
might make. He took that in this instance the
Committee on Parliamentary and Municipal Elec-
tions of last year was appointed for the pur-
pose of collecting information and examining into the
subject generally, rather than to establish anything de-
finite on the point. Therefore he, as the chairman of the
committee, did not feel so much hesitation as he otherwise
should in proposing a measure which in one respect was
entirely opposed to its recommendations. The point
upon which the bill and the report of the com-
mittee differed was as to public nominations. After
quoting the passage from the report, the right hon.
gentleman said he was rather inclined to say, in the lan-
guage of one of the witnesses examined, that public nom--
nations were nothing but a mischief and a useless
farce, which tended to bring the Constitution of
the country and representative institutions generally
into contempt, and which tended also to disgust the
more peaceable and intelligent portion of the commu-
nity. The committee, however, gave reasons which he
should subsequently consider, for the retention of the
practiec. The Government proposed that it should be .he
duty of the returning officer to publicly announce, as now,
that on a certain day he will proceed at a specified time to
the nomination or election, as the case might be, of
members to serve for the county or borough ; that he
will, between a certain number of specified hours, sf y
between the hours of one and five, or any other
hour, during which he will receive nominations. Candi-
dates, he proposed should be nominated by the de-
livery—personal delivery—not sent in, of nomination
papers. These papers would have to be signed by a pro-
poser and a seconder and eight other electors of the county
or borough. The House would see the object of reclaim-
ing the proposer and seconder. The delivery of these
nomination papers would be made either by the candidate
himself personally or by the 'proposer or seconder. The
candidate would be permitted to withdraw his nomination
paper, or in his absence the proposer or seconder might
withdraw the candidate at any time within the two
hours which were specified. If at the conclusion
of the two hours any more candidates were made
in nomination than there were vacancies to be
filled, the returning officer would announce the result, and
Publicly advertise it in the earner which would be pre•,

seated in the hill. This operation would take place, not alto-
gether but comparatively speaking, in private. The per-
sons who would be present at these nominations would
the candidate, accompanied by one friend, who might
be his legal adviser, the proposer and seconder, or those
electors who signed the nomination papers. No other person
would have the right to be present unless by the special
permission of the returning officer. The advantage which
would result from this plan in contradistinction to others
which had been adopted in places where the system of
public nomination was adopted were these, that it would
be necessary that the candidates and their pro-
posers and friends should meet face to face. They
should know before the expiration of the specified
period who were their opponents who were nominated,
and they would have the opportunity of saying whether
they would make up their minds to go to the poll, or
whether they would withdraw in favour of some other
candidate who had been nominated, and whether they
thought it worth while to incur the expense and trouble of
going to the poll. He could not see that the choice of a
constituency could be fettered by this plan, seeing that
any ten electors could bring forward a• candi-
date of their choice, and that ample opportunity
was afforded of demanding a poll on behalf of their candi-
date. He did believe that there was some advantage in
certain cases in public nominations, which enabled the
candidate to meet face to face the whole of the constitu-
ency, and to challenge his opponents, and to refute
what might have been said of each other. But
hon. gentlemen would admit that where such explanations
were necessary or desirable the opportunity practically did
not exist. Where reckless and unfounded assertions had
been bandied about during a time of great excitement the
House must be perfectly well aware the candidates might
just as well talk to the winds. He believed that the system
of requiring personal attendance would prevent persons
being put forward as candidates merely for purposes of an-
noyance. The Government did not intend to propose an alte-
ration in the existing law as to the incidence of the necessary
expenses of elections. The candidate, or failing the can-
didate, his proposer and nominator, would, according to
the present proposal, be liable for the necessary expenses
of the election, and that, in his opinion, would act
as a considerable check to the putting forward candidates
for the mere purpose of annoyance. Of cource corrupt
compromises might be made between candidates, but
such compromises were not now made upon the
hustings. They were made, and must always
be made, in private, and if candidates and their
supporters were so disposed corrupt compromises could be
effected. According to the Government plan, if there
were not more candidates than vacancies, the return would
be made and completed on the day of nomination. It was
hardly necessary to say that if there were more candidates
than vacancies, it would be the duty of the returning
officer to announce that the poll would be taken, to name
the day .of the poll, and to make the necessary prepara-
tions. He believed that there had only been three reme-
dies proposed for the evils complained of in regard to
election procedure—the use of voting papers, an increased
number of polling papers, and vote by ballot. As to the
use of voting papers, he would dismiss that remedy
as shortly as the committee dismissed the subject
in their report. A remedy which aggravated the
evils appeared to him to be no remedy at all.
An increased number of polling places might be
very desirable ; but he did not think any member would
pretend that such a plan would be anything like an ade-
quate remedy. In fact, there did exist a power of in-
creasing them if it were thought necessary. The third
remedy, as he had said, was the ballot, and the principal
objection to the adoption of the Ballot was that
an act of voting was a public duty, and involved
public responsibility ; that it would not restrain the
practice of treating ; that it would increase bribery
and afford facilities for personation. As to the act of
voting being a public duty he freely admitted, and there
was no finer srectacle in a free and constitutional country
than a constituency returning its members to Parliament
by an open, tranquil, pure, and, above all things, a free
election. The essential character of an election ought to
be freedom, and he quoted a passage from the judgment of
Baron Martin in the Beverley election petition trial,
in which he laid it down that when Government gave a
man the right to vote it imposed upon him the obligation
of using it honestly, and without undue influence. Baron
Martin proceeded to say that if it were proved before a
judge that a considerable number of votes had been under
undue influence, there was absolutely at common
law, without reference to any particular statute
whatever, no legal election. The right hon. gentleman
then went on to speak about the ballot, and
said in our own colonies where the ballot had been in
operation some time when the necessity for secresy disap-
peared, the secresy itself disappeared. He did not see
the necessity that a system of secret voting should encourage
bribery or personation. There must be under any
system an open system or a secret system. In
order to establish bribery or personation proof that
there had been a corrupt payment by one person to
another, or that a certain individual had voted,
fraudulently representing himself to be another'
person. These werp facts which must be established before
some legal tribunal, and the proof he proposed would not be
more difficult than it was now. The returning officer, on
the opening of the poll, would have to provide a sufficient
number of polling stations, and he would appoint a deputy
returning officer to preside at each station. He would also
have to provide a sufficient number of polling papers for
each presiding officer. An agent might be appointed by
each candidate to watch over his interest at each
polling station. The polling papers would somewhat re-
semble the cheques in a banker's cheque book. They would
have a counterfoil, and numbered, and every paper would
bear on its face the same number as it would bear on its
back. The presiding officer would give to each voter on
establishing his claim to vote a polling paper, entering at
the same time the number of the voter on the register upon
the counterfoil. The voter would then enter a private room
for the purpose of marking the polling paper. Having done
that he would fill it up in such a way that the names of the
candidate would not be visible, but the number on the back
would, and would place it in the ballot box. At the close of
the poll the presiding officer, or the friends and agents of
the candidates, would °put the ballot box and take out the
ballot papers. lle would then unfold the papers which did
not slur the names of the candidates. lie could unfold them
and place them on their face in such a way that neither he
nor those who were assisting him would see the names. In
that way be could seal them in the presence of the agents,
who would also affix their seals, and transmit them to the
returning officer. \Vhen the latter had received all the pac-
kets of voting papers he would in the presence of the
agents of the candidates proceed to open them and
place them exactly the reverse way, with the face up-
ward. He would then count the number of votes, and at
thi conclusion announce the result of the poll. At the
close of the poll the presiding officer would at once seal up
and send to the Clerk of the Crown the counterfoils of the
papers that had been used, and it would be the duty of the
returning officer, having counted up the packets, to reseal
them and send them to the Clbrk of the Crown. They
proposed that no vote should be identified until it had been
proved 0 be a bad vote. There would be a clause in the
bill providing that no room shall be hired at a public-
house for the purpose of the committee room, or any pur-
pose connected with the election except for the holding
of a meeting at which the candidate himself
should be present. There was also another very
stringent clause, which provided that payments of
whatever description, if not included in the return pre-
scribed by law, should be regarded as corrupt payments,
and bo sufficient to invalidate the election, In conclusion,
the right hon. gentleman said he should not deal with reepi,
cipal election procedure until the next session.
Mr. LEATHAM rejoiced that Government had decided to
deal with the subject of the ballot. He regretted, how-
ever, that they had complicated the consideration of
the question by combining with it other subjects,
which, hoNfrever important, were more or less irrelevan t
Surely the ballot was a question large enough fora bill
to itself.
Mr. NEWDEGATE protested against the bill as described.
Mr. BERESFORD-HOPE inquired whether it was proposed.
to interfere with the procedure of election in the univf.r.

Mr. FAWCETT complained that after Mr. Gladstone had
expressed himself in favour of the constituencies bearing
the election expenses, the bill did not propose to alter the
incidence of Parliamentary expenses. Re believed that
the country would welcome the abolition of nominations
the adoption of the Ballot, and the proposal as to public.
houses and election expenses.
Mr. WHITBREAD expressed his satisfaction with the
easure.
Mr. GLADSTONE, in answer to Mr. Hope, said there was
r. clause in the bill which relieved the minorities from its
operation. With regard to the absence of a provision for
relieving candidates of election expenses and transferring
the burden to the constituencies, he said the reasons why
the Cabinet had refrained from making any such proposal
were of the simplest character. They had got a crowded
session, and they were very anxious to proceed with
important matters contained in the bill. They felt
that in order to give the bill a fair chance of success it was
necessary not to overload it with matters which, although
theoretically perfection, would in this practical age dimi-
‘.ish the chance of carrying the measure.
Mr. HENRY JAMES regretted that the ballot proposed by
the Government was to be deficient in its true virtue,
n feet and inviolate security.
Lord CLAIM liallimoir moved the adjournment of the
debate, but subsequently withdrew his motion.
Leave was then given to bring in th© hill,
