HOUSE OF COXBIONS—LAST EVENING
The SPEAKER took tho chair at 4 o'clock.
CEYLON.

Mr. GORST asked the Under Secretary of State for
the Colonies whether it was the intention of her Majesty's
Government to institute any 1 cal inquiry into the affairs
of Ceylon.
Mr. A DDERLEY said the Governor of Ceylon was on
his way to England, an I when ho arrived a consultation
on the state of that island would t tke place. lle had to say
that there was no intentim on the part of the Govern-
ment to make any constitutional changes.

DOCKYARD WORKMEN.

Mr. OT WAY asked tho Secretary to the Admiralty
whether it was true that the, wages of the ro °makers in
Chatham dockyard had been reduced to 19a. 2d. per week,
and that men who had been working overtime had been
suddenly dismissed from the service; and in such case
whether the Beard of Admiralty contemplated any ar-
rangement which would diminish the distress occasioned
by these proceedings?
• Lord H. LENNOX said there had been a reduction of
the hours of work in some departments, viz., from six
days to five. With respect to ropemakers they had only
been stopped working to a certain extent, owing to the
introduction of certain steam machinery. With respect to
the dismissals they had only been carried into effect on the
recommendations of the Admiralty reformers. He did not
think the further carrying out of those recommendations
would give much public satisfaction.
IMPRISONMENT OF A SCHOOLMASTER.

Mr. BAINES a=ked the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs if it was true that Julian de Vargas, a Spanish
schoolmaster at Malaga, had been imprisoned in a felon's
priicn since the 12th of March, and was now under pro-
secution by the Fiscal, who demanded a sentence of 17
months' imprisonment for having in his house a Spanish
Bible and Testament, and a few French Protestant books
not of a controversial character?

Lord STANLEY said he believed such a case had oc-
curred, but the schoolmaster was not only charged with
having the book in his possession, but teaching the same.
The Spanish Government were not the parties who had
moved in the matter, but the local authorities. As the
person was a Spanish subject and amenable to Spanish
law; he did not think they had any right to interfere in
the matter beyond expressing a hope that the person
might be treated as leniently as possible.
