RITUALISM.

The ARCHBISHOP of CANTERBURY laid upon tho
table of the house a petition praying for a supervision of
religious services ix England and Ireland.
NEW JUDGES.

The LORD CHANCELLOR consented to postpone the
second reading of the bill entitled " Office of Judge in the
Admiralty, Divorce, and Probate Courts Bill," which was
in the orders for to-night.
MASTERS AND OPERATIVES BILL.

Lord ST. LEONARDS moved the second reading of
the Masters and Operatives Bill. ills lordship
laid • upon the table several petitions in favour
of the bill. Ho said that ho should never have
pressed the bill forward until he had been convinced that
both masters and operatives would be in favour of the
bill. This he now found was the case, and that from
every quarter of the king:loin the operatives and
masters were desirous that the bill should be passed.
This bill had been supposed to have been borrowed from
the French, but the French constitution was somewhat
different from that of England, consequently it coul'l not
be borrowed from the French. The bill was desired by
the English operatives, and he (the noble lord) had had
innumerable deputations waiting upon him on the subject.
The number of signatures which represented the masters
showed that they were extremely anxious likewise to have
the question settled.

The Duke of ARGYLL was not of opinion that this bill
met the requisites of the question pending between the
operatives and the masters.
Lord GRAN WORTH objected to the clause, which pro-
vided that there should be a rate Df wages for one twelve-
month mutually agreed to by both parties. He consi-
dered that the requirements of the case would be best
met by a fired rate of wages.
Lord ST. LEONARDS objected that this would de-
stroy the whole spirit of the bill. It was necessary that
both parties should be able to insure a free decision on
the question.
The bill was read a second time.
LIS PENDENS BILL.

Lord ST. LEONARDS introduced a Bill " Lis Pen-
dens," and was understood to say that its object was to
operate in the case of a shareholder possessed of a large
estate who might dispose of such estate against the suit
that had been instituted against him.
The LORD C IIANCELLOR said by the company's act of
1848, in the winding up of public companies, there was to be
"lis pendens." The Lords Justices had decided that it was
an absurdity that there should ba a " lis pendens" against
the estates of the individual shareholders, and he (the
Lord ChancAlor) thought it was useless to be against the
company. After the decision of the Lords Justices he had
been of opinion that there would be! no need to alter the
matter at all.

After a few words from Lord Rommr, the bill was read
a second time.

SALE OF LAND BY AUCTION.
Lord ST. LEONARDS then introduced a bill for sale of
land by auction, which embodied regulations relative to
sales without reserve.

[LEFT SPEAKING.]

lIOUSE OF COMMONS—THIS EVENING.
Th© SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock.
NEW MEMBER.

Mr. Monitis, the Attorney-General for Ireland, took the
oath and his seat for Galway.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The following bills were read a second time :--Central
Cornwall Railway (No. 2), London and North Western
Railway (Lines at Burton-on-Trent), Sligo Port and Har-
bour, East London Water (Thames Supply), East London
Water (Various Powers), Gaslight and Coke Company,
Imperial Gas, London City Improvement Rates, and Lon-
don City Municipal Elections.
THE CAVALRY AT THE WATERFORD
ELECTION.

In reply to TIES OTONO9IIUE,
Gen. PEEL had no hesitation in laying that if the 16
men had broken away from the control of their com-
manding officer, he could not coincide with the
opinion expressed by the officer in command
but he had stated the other evening the nature
of the report of Colonel Sawyer of the circumstances
which was confirmed now by those made by other officers.
The explanation given by the officer with respect to the
discrepancy between hie report and his evidence was
that he was so puzzled and confused by the questions put
to him in his cross-examination that he lost his presence
of mind and answered the questions heedlessly. With
respect to further inquiry into the conduct of the troops
be thought the noble lord in command of the troops in
Ireland was the best person to determine that question.
CATTLE PLAGUE.
Mr. FORDYCE asked the Vice-President of the Council
whether, in awarding compensation to the owners of
cattle killed before the passing of the Cattle Plague Act,
it was the intention of Government to include in such
compensation counties which defrayed such expenses at
the time from local funds.
Mr. CORRY said he had stated the other evening how
the compensation was to be paid. It was intended to
compensate for individual losses only, not for those sus-
tained by the county rates.

N OUR
heTtSoFsecJrUetSaTry tothe Treasury
JUSTICE.
Mr. BENTINCKEIV Casked
_reasury
whether the certificate referred to in s. 19
of "
of Justice Concentration Act, 1865 " had been he Courts
received by
the Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury ;
and what
was the probable cost of the land anc" buildings respec-
tively as stated in the certificate.
Mr. HUNT said the certificate,the sth of dated
and sent to the Treasury, did not state the x
but it stated generally that the lands hkenwe
oualcct 13tem
son?
cient for the purposes intended, and that the estimate,
would not bo exceeded. The amount forth in the
act for the construction of the courts wasee2lts,ooo.
THE SUSPENSION OF THE HABEAS CORPUS
ACT.
Lord NAAS in moving the second reading of this bill
said no one, he was certain, could have anticipated, after
the announcement made in the royal speech, that in so
short a time it would be found necessary to introduce
a bill for a renewal of the bill for the suspension of the
Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland, yet circumstances with
which they were all familiar had rendered it necessary.
When the present Government came into office they
found 330 persons under detention by warrants issued
by the Lord-Lieutenant. In September the number
was reduced to 286, and so satisfactory did things
appear that in November only 73 persons remained in
custody. The present Government had, however, in con-
sequence of a renewal of the conspiracy, been called upon
to make arrests, and in November last live warrants were
issued, in December 97, in January 17, and in the present
month 9, when the disturbances began rapidly to die
away, and matters seemed to be becoming peaceable
and quieter. In making its arrest the Government had
exercised the greatest caution, and invariably the parties
taking active steps in the disturbance were alone selected, '
and it was remarkable that as soon as the leaders of the
discontent were secured matters very soon became
peaceable. Notwithstanding all that had been said as to the
ramifications of this disturbance ho felt certain that, had
it been necessary to assume a strong and determined posi-
tion, every person whose services were worth accepting
would be found banded on the side of law and order.
Matters had been going on very favourably in Ireland
until the mysterious disturbances took place at Chester,
and whether that was a preconeertod arrangement he had
not been able to ascertain. When the news of
that outbreak became known in Ireland all the
old alarm was resumed, and then followed the
insurrectionary movements in the south-west part
of Ireland. The news of the outbreak was not known in
Dublin until about half-past six in the evening, whent
most of the officials had quitted their office ; yet, notwith-
standing this, Sir It. Horsford was counnunicatod with a
eight o'clock the same evening, and by the next morning
he was at Mallow, a distance of upwards of 100 miles,
with 1,000 mon under his command, and ready for any
emergency. (Hear, hear.) If anything could show to
the misguided people the folly of attempting
with any degree of success to carry out
their insurrectionary movements it was the
rapidity with which steps were taken to meet them. It
was with the deepest regret that he had moved to ask
Parliament to grant them the extraordinary power which
the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act would
give them. It was a matter of the most sincere
pleasure to him to have to say how much they were in-
debted to the Roman Catholic clergy in Ireland, for he did
not think there was a shigle priest in the south-
west part of the country who did not at once cau-
tion the people against the folly and danger of
listening to the advice of persons whose ohject was any-
thing but patriotic. On the contrary, their whole proceed-
ings were dictated by the most sordid motives, and money
appeared to be their only object ; and it was only be-
cause they could not succeed in deluding the people
in America that they came to Ireland to try their hand iu
that part of her Majesty's dominions. They were con-
temptible compared with the parties who took part in the
disloyal movement in the year 1848, and yet that

disturbance ended in the most undignified manner
for all concerned in it. The renewal of the bill
would be but for three months, at which time it
would be for Parliament to say whether it would be
safe to allow it to expire, or to again renew it. He
could not resume his seat without expressing
the gratification he felt at the conduct of Dr. Moriarty,
the Bishop of Kerry, who fearlessly denounced Fenianism,
while in the very midst of the deluded people. The noble
lord concluded by moving the second reading of the bill.
Sir G. GREY seconded the motion, and, whilst express-
ing his regret that circumstances had occurred to call for
such a bill, approved of the conduct of the Government in
Liking- such active and determined steps to put down a
movement, which could but lead to 11r., most knuentalde
consequences to all concerned in it.
After a short disco:-lion, in which several Irish members
took part, the bill was read a second rime.
