THE IRISH LAND BILL.

Shortly before ten o'clock the House went into com-
mittee on the Irish Land Bill, and again considered the
new clauses proposed to, be inserted. The attendance of
members was unusuallylarge, and the proceedings were again
characterised by a disposition to bring the measure to an
ultimate stage. Several of the clauses were not urged
upon the committee for consideration, and other proposals
were but impatiently listened to. At half-past twelve the
schedule as amended was agreed to, and the preamble was
few minutes after agreed to amid cheers. The bill will be
reported on Thursday.

GAS AND WATER FACILITIES BILL.
This bill was read a second time and passed.
EXTRADITION.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL obtained leave to bring in a
bill for amending the law relating to the extradition of
criminals.

SLIGO AND CASHEL DISFRANCHISEMENT.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for IRELAND obtained leave to
bring in a bill for the disfranchisement of the boroughs of
Sligo and Cashel. As the hour was late he did not make
any statement.
CONVENTUAL AND MONASTIC INSTI-
TUTIONS.

Mr. NEWDEGATE moved that the select committee on
Conventual and Monastic Institutions consist of sixteen
members, and that the Lord Advocate be added to the
committee. At present Scotland was only represented
by one member.

The LORD ADVOCATE begged the House not to appoint
him on the Committee, inasmuch as his many public
engagements would interfere with his devoting the time
to the inquiry which its importance deserved.
_ _

Mr. NEWDEGATE divided the House on the proposition
that the committee should consist of sixteen members, and
his motion was rejected by a majority of 98 to 36.
The House adjourned at a quarter past one.

THE ATTEMPT OF A CHILD TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
Louise Beaumont, aged 12, who attempted to drown her-
self in the Highgate Ponds a. few days ago, was brought
up again at the Highgate police court. It was stated that
her father had made arrangements to place her in a refuge
at Mile End. Colonel Jeakes said he had received a re-
port from the chapbsin of the House of Detention, stating
that there was nothing the matter with the child. She
was a very intelligent, sensitive child, and the beating
that had been inflicted on her had made her attempt to
take her life. The girl said she was very sorry, and then
left the court with her parents.

A PITTSBURG CASHIER.—The Pittsburg Mail
states that a few days ago a teller in one of the Pittsburg
banks found at the close of the day's transactions that
his cash was $5OO deficient, and he had to stand the loss.
One morning a letter was received containing an offer to
restore the amount if a suitable reward was adyertised.
The handwriting was disguised, but a careful comparison
with every cheque he had paid on the day convinced the
teller that he was on the trail. ,Being a resolute fellow,
he went on the same evening, well arme44 to the house
of the suspected party, and presenting his pistol said
he would shoot the man on the spot if the money was not
instantly forthcom He brought away a cheque for the
$5OO.

THE LATE MURDERS IN GREECE.—The English
press thunders vigorously against the helpless govern-
ment that pretends to rule in Greece. An aggravating
point in this matter is that the deaths of the unfortunate
tourists were directly caused by the action of the Greek
authorities The men could have been released on ran-
som, but the active measures of the Government drove
the outlaws to an extreme act. It may seem difficult to
blame the Government for this activity, but it should be
remembered how untimely it. was. There this Govern-
ment had stood face to face with the brigands for a month
and manifested no severe spirit of justice, but the mo-
ment its activity may kill a 'dozen travellers it becomes
frightfully active.--New York Herald.

NEGRO EQUALITY.—A case was recently before
the United States' Circuit at Baltimore in which a
coloured man claimed and obtained damages against the
Baltimore City Passenger Railroad Company for ejecting
him from the interior of one of their cars and compelling
him to stand on the platform. Judge Giles decided that he
had a right to as good a place as the white man; but he
added that a public carrier, if he gives equally comfort-
able accommodation to all, may separate passengers, not
only by the rule of sex, by providing a ladies' car, but
also by the rule of colour, with a view to secure order
and promote the comfort of both. It is stated that
the company will run white men's cars and coloured men's
cars.

(ADVERTISEMENT ]--HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—This medicine
has resisted every test which time, prejudice, and vested
interests could impose upon it, and it at length stands forth
triumphant as the most reliable remedy for those derange-
ments of the system so common at the change of seasons.
When the air grows cooler and the functions of the skin are
retarded, an occasional dose of Holloway's Pills will call on
the liver and kidneys for greater activity, and compensate
the system for diminished cutaneous action. As alteratives,
aperients, and tonics, these Pills have no equals, To very
aged and delicate persons, whose appetite is defective, diges-
tion infirm, and tone of health low, this medicine will be a
precious boon, conferring both ease and strength.
