!or British, and

Major PARKER expressed a natural distrust of com-
mitting the honour of the British flag in other parts of the
world to a class of troops who had betrayed it in India.
The motion, with the rider of Mr. O'REILLY, was then
put and agreed to nem. con.
Mr. DENMAN obtained leave to bring in a bill to re-
duce the annual duty upon the certificates of attorneys and
solicitors and others, under protest, however, from Mr.
Bass, who thought the brewers had a more equitable claim
to be relieved from the heavy charge upon thew, and with
a pretty distinct intimation from the Chancellor of the
Exchequer that he disapproved of these attacks upon the
Consolidated Fund, and that he should oppose the mea-
sure in its future stages.
Mr. FAWCETT moved a resolution to the effect that,
in the opinion of the house, it was expedient to extend the
educational clauses of the Factory Acts to children who
are employed in agriculture.
The motion having been seconded by Colonel AKROYD,
Mr. GOLDNEY urged the difficulty which stood in the way
of bringing the Factory Acts into operation in the rural
districts by the disinclination of the parents to send their
children to school. He was certain, however, that neither
the country gentlemen nor the tenant farmers would ob-
ject to any measure which Parliament might consider
necessary to improve the education of the agricultural
labourers.
Mr. TREVELYAN spoke at some length in support of
the motion, and the debate was continued by Mr. Read,
Sir F. Crossley, and Mr. H. Bruce.
Mr. WALPOLE was of opinion that the educational

clauses of the Factory Acts were more applicable to an
urban than a rural population, and doubted whether, with-
out considerable alteration and amendment, they could be
adapted to the purpose of the mover of the resolution. lie
hoped the motion would not be pressed to a division, but

that the hon. member would be content with the discus-
sion that had taken place. The whole question of the
Factory Acts was about to be dealt with, and if practic-
able the educational portion of the subject might be con-
sidered with a view to extending the benefits conferred on
factory children to the country generally.
Eventually the moti MI was withdrawn.
Leave was given to Mr. CARNEGIE to bring in a bill for
the abolition of the landlord's right of hypothe(3 in Scot-
land, which he explained embodied the opinions of tho
minority of the select committee which reported ou the
subject last session.
The house adjourned at ten minutes to eleven o'clock.

unconditionally; whilst the evidence against the nine
others was so unsatisfactory, witnesses being unable
or indisposed to identify them, that they were re-
leased upon their own recognisances to appear when
called upon. The people cheered them a good deal
when released. At Killarney, Mr. Cruice, resident
magistrate of Kerry, and Major Percy, resident
magistrate, remain as representatives of the civil
power, in addition to the local justices of the peace.
Mr. Green, resident magistrate, who was deputed
by Lord Naas to assist Mr. Cruice at Killarney,
and who was stationed for some days at Cahirci-
veen, has returned to Dublin. Searches for arms
are now made almost daily, but hitherto the
search has been invariably unsuccessful, both in
town and country. The arms given up at Kil-
larney since the county was proclaimed include
some 60 or 70 rifles or fowling-pieces. But
these are generally surrendered by people whose
loyalty is known, while the disaffected persons bury
their firearms in the bog, where, with a little greased
rag in the muzzle and round the nipple, a gun will
keep without suffering any injury. In taking leave
of Killarney it would be wrong to omit mention of
the material services rendered to the Government
and to the cause of order in Kerry by the Great
Southern and Western Railway Company not only
in their arrangements for forwarding troops and
munitions, but for the readiness with which the
handsome hotel built by them near the station was
at once, through the manager, Mr. Currie, placed at
the disposal of the authorities. In the first days of
the outbreak the hotel was half fortress, half bar.
rack. It has not quite lost that character now, and
but for the accommodation which it afforded to offi-
cers and men, and its excellent position in command-
ing both the station and the town, it is hard to say
what would have become of the garrison which was
so suddenly poured into the town.
The evidence I have gathered leads me to disbe-
lieve entirely the rumour of any landing on the
coast of Valentia or any part of Kerry, nor do I
think there were any Irish-Americans besides
O'Connor and Moriarty who came to grief at Kil-
larney. Though situated so near to Cahirciveen,the
island of Valentia remained perfectly quiet through-
out the disturbance, and the Knight of Kerry, with
his family, who reside on the island, showed a con-
fidence in the people which was not misplaced.
