Lord J. Russell then moved the omission of the 27th clause, and was beaten by a majority of twenty-seven.

' *— *— to the power of taxation given in the Bill, on the very creditable and intelligible ground that the Protestants of Ireland (who are rich and few) do not want reformatory schools for the benefit of the Catholics (who are poor and many). “ The schools would, in “ fact, promote the dissemination of Roman Catholic doctrines;” Strah|e to *ay; *’ fh'jtjority o f 1 16 repfldiated Mr. Vanei?S view. ’ Pfoti%ants o f Mr. Vance’s stamp are fallen upon bad times. They will endure much, but, as men and Protestants, they have their feelings, and when sorely pressed grow very vicious. An^ amendment limiting the operation of the Bill to children already convicted of some offence was lost, but a proviso requiring a sentence of imprisonment for fourteen days, as in the English Acts, before a child could be sent to the reformatory, was carried against Mr. Deasy’s protest. _ — An important amendment of the Criminal Law, f®VoducedW Mr. Jil'Mahoq,‘tp’ iettle, tlie ^existing o f ihe Qtteen'j fin ch to remove indictments into that court after trial; to enable a bill of exceptions to be tendered in criminal as well as in civil cases ; and to allow subordinate courts to grant new trials, was read a second time on Wednesday by a majority of 54, and committed by a majority of 17, when Mr. Walpole declined to promise to bring in a Bill for the same purpose next session. The'Bill will not become law this time, for the committee is fixed for July 28th, but the debate was remarkable. ^ The chief opponents of the Bill were the Right. Hon. J. D. Fitzgerald and the Right Hon. R. Lowe, two of the late Whig Ministry. Mr. Fitz* s r i^ wa* chastised by Mr. B owyefarid Mr. Lpwei ww ’tomolated .fond of Mn' Bright. T l ie recent case of Mr. Barber and of the unhappy Cormacks,^ the recommendation of the Criminal Law Commissioners, and even the example of Naples, failed to shake the hardened obstinacy of the ex-Whig officials who, as Mr. Bright and Mr. Bowyer pointed out, used the very arguments which were em||*qwfca<iddaga«Bst:geaiiti^g £riibaer»’4b^bs»cfit of P p j l j i ! l^ M y o n r true Whig is the least legislators. ' ‘n . — Mr. Monsell House of Commons for certain returns relative to Irish National Schools, which are likely to throw some light on the controversy which has arisen relative to the working of the system. He asks to know the number of pupils, teachers, and managers of each religious denomination, the names, religion, and birthplace of all the higher officers of the Board, the attendance of the Commissioners themselves at the meetings of the Board, and of its committees, and finally, a certain report of a Catholic Head Inspector, Mr ;*’ViflBnii «instruction in up lor pub­ lication, has, in some way or other, happened to be withheld. The right honourable gentleman has also dealt a shrewd blow at the Godless Colleges, which, we hope, will wound them in a vital part. He has procured a return of the money spent upon them since_their foundation, a return for each year of the matriculated students, and those who have taken of stud«nt|i^!jepp year holding emoluments paid out of public funds, distinguishing their religious denominations. — Continental politics are the foreign correspondent’s private domain, and the public must be thankful for what it is allowed to know. A few weeks ago we had nothing but rumours of quarrels, military preparations, threatened invasions, and impending wars. Now the British Queen is about to visit Cherbourg as the French Emperor’s guest; and the difficulty between the United States and England is no longer spoken of. Brussels has elected M. Deifre, an extreme Liberal, noted for nothing but his hatred* of the Church. Belgium declined to spend money in increasing the defences of Antwerp, on which Napoleon III. resolves to convert Lille into a first-class fortress. The German Bund are about to enforce their views about the famous “ Schleswig “ Holstein Mwui^Wurigen” ’b y 'an ,armed array ; and the Austrian Kaiser has made up his mind no longer to tolerate the presence of Canova’s statue of Napoleon Bonaparte in his good city of Milan. The foreign policy of England may be as wise and vigorous as the bitterest enemies of prrfide Albion declare, but it must be acknowledged that appearances are often against it, and that British notions of dignity are sometimes a little quaint. The right of “ visiting” the vessels of independent states in time of peace has been discovered to be no right, and has, therefore, very rightly been abandoned. The awkwardness is, that it was not abandoned until the United States had determined to resist its exercise. But if the dignity of Britain was at all impaired by the transaction, it was impesuhjj'to rifflata. wory mgyts o f qitdting,thejaw bow pwt Sp^n, ■ very angry, and we are to have a demand for explanations. But i f a Spanish newspaper makes itself ridiculous by threatening to invade England with a new armada, the Times gains little by its retaliatory threat to connive at the conquest of Cuba by American MMKers. . . ■. t ' ’ ' . . ,. ' . ' . j — Mr. Deasy’s Reformatory Schools Bill for Ireland has survived some dangers. The honourable and enlightened member for Dublin, Mr. Vance,objected The Paris Conferences, we are told, have “ taken “ a favourable turn the principalities are to have two separate governments and administrations, with one senate and one constitution. The excitement in Russia, which was the natural consequence of the re1axation of the iron system of repression practised by the late Czar, is said to be increasing, and the Emperor’s meditated emancipation of the serfs has borne a premature fruit in an insurrection in Esthonia, which may spread to Courland and Livonia. The serfs, after patiently enduring their bondage for so many years, are now unable to wait for the arrival of their promised freedom. They are burning castles, murdering nobles, and defeating the imperial troops. The sudden change of the Spanish Ministry, and thé açcps^kto:t>f Count O^OBBcff'arid his Vicalvaristas, have not yet been explained, and the explanation, when it comes, is not likely to be very satisfactory. Parties are split into so many sections in Bpjtm that itî4 îiot eüsyfo défihé the' their politics. O’Donnell is a Liberal Conservative, who professes to adhere to the constitution o f ’45. A sweeping change in the official world, by the displacement of hundreds of office-holders, is the first re Js* the rumoured interruption of those more friendly relations with the Holy See wfyich were still under négociation. * noisiest and most violent declaimers taking such desperate offence at ill language and rude imputation. It is delectable to hear Mr. John Reynolds, of all men Jiving, giving lessons in social propriety, and teaching men of undoubted respectability, but who B»ay be warm faftheir tempers i ^ ’fay§fc(faein their intellects, faow to'fadwve tjta^i^ves in public. The public meeting held under the presidency of the Lord Mayor on Tuesday last was very well attended, and .njtotidod expression of-oj»lili«l against the Bill was fljfcited from it. ’ fabjeefkms urged against the ffilj are, that its finan^^claofnare exceedingly unfair towards the citizens of Dublin, though a considerable boon -to nmiag&'dtMl: neighbourhood, and who, i f within certain limits, at present contribpted soinethn^ to the it^Mort of the city police. Bfafobjection that has weight with the public Js, that the Bill has the appearance of wishing to punish the men of the city police force, not merely for the College affray, in which only a small potljtttt of them were engaged, but,‘i4lsiOvii jfajptf.’ffi|tholics, and for «bring a^a&lcd a religjpas j|issi£n at the Jesuits’ Church, in Gardiner-street. ■ There can be no doubt J lw it is 4&is_obvk>os iajnitfceeand hardship, savourwW o f refigKMft.peij|OeUtiOn:, stftibfa has excited so atrp^*aIb^8ngrStgj3flst the measure of Lord Naas, Letters from India tell us that on the 1st of May the Rev.

HOUSE OF LORDS—T h u r sd a y , J u l y 8. The Jews Bill passed through committee. A clause being added, on the motion of the Duke of Marlborough, prohibiting Jews who might be appointed to official positions from exercising Ecclesiastical patronage, or advising the crown with respect to Ecclesiastical appointments, the bill was then ordered to be read a third time on Monday next. Their lordships adjourned at half-past six o’clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Lord Stan 1 ’; y moved the third reading of the Government of India Bill. Mr. H a n k e y demanded what would be the position of the. East India Company after the passing of the bill. Lord P a lm erston retained his objections to the constitution of the council, and gave to the bill no grudging, but a cordial assent. Mr. M'Carthy, Mr. Deasy, Mr. Ewin, Mr. M‘Evoy, Rev. Canon Oakeley.Lord Campden, and Mr.Spaight P p f l l WÉMfefan' Tuesday at the Home Office. An account of the interview will be found elsewhere, and we have good hopes of justice from the language of the Minister, and the zeal and perseverance of the Rev. Canon Oakeley. !'■ — The Star has a leader on the dinner-given by the Earl of Shrewsbury, at the Trafalgar, in Greenwicb, mg*tfale. It was attended by four dukes, by the Lord High Chancellor of England, by the Chairman of Committees of the House of Peers, by divers other peers, and by several Privy Councillors of note. In the course of the evening great speeches were made on the past, out further success of the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot in his litigation with the Duke of Norfolk. The Star says d8pi"'8if PM u ie k t i j r a g e r migd^ ” have permitted his heart to melt to the good “ fortune of the Earl of Shrewsbury, but the Lord "" Chancellor, who will probably have to sit in judg­ ment on the disputed title to the Shrewsbury estates, would have shown better taste i f he had “ absented himself from the festivities.” The indecency of the act on any other supposition than that Lord Chelmsford intended to decline acting as judge in the Irrigation concerning the estates, on the ground that he had been of counsel in the litigation respecting the title, would be so flagrant that we are bound to give the Chancellor the benefit of the hypothesis. : , , v j — The new Police Bill of Lord Naas has excited a strong feeling of of Dublin. Corporation has expressed a very decided opinion against the measure as applicable to Dublin, and has gone the length of rejecting a candidate for the office ot Lord Mayor who would otherwise have had 'an unanimous election, because, in the discussion on the subject, he treated the majority of the Council who opposed the Bill with some disrespect. Alderman Wilson, in supporting the Bill, said that “ gentlemen opposite” would “ vote black white” for political motives, and though he afterwards withdrew and apologised for the offensive imputation, he finds the escapade a serious bar to his promotion to the highest cfafic tUgmtyT No dnnfat it is well that'- oftfalfaM)' pçisoàjmties should inf some way or discouraged, in order that the Council may escape falling back under the regime of Billingsgate which once gave it a repute so unenviable. But the scene in the Council on Monday savours not a little of the ludicrous, and it is amusing to find some of the T h e So l ic it o r -G eneral said that the East India Company Would subsist for the purpose of managing the stock and d ividends., . . , M r. R o e bu c k felt afraid that many years would not pass before this piece of legislation would have to be '-.j the bill contained two admis­ sible elements— a Secretary of State, who might be supreme if he thought proper, and an independent council. It was highly probable they would have to alter some of the details of the bill, and they must not forget they had as yet only regulated the home government. The great questions on India itself yet remained to be dealt with, which he trusted would be done in two or three years. The C h ancellor of the .Ex ch equer congratulated the house on the success of its labours, thanking it on behalf of the government for the attention and candour it had shown during the debates. He felt assured that the system thus inaugurated would be a great improvejnerR^^tefMtt.^AicFIt; saperseded. - ‘i: The bill was then read a third time, and passed amid loud cheers. Ï : 1.tub .;;, A m Ê Lord Naas mtwid t y :sefettyl ¿tiB tit'b f the Police Force (Ireland) Bill. It had been said that the local burthen would not be reduced—rthat the constabulary wèuhiaiffer, anff thfaMhe-nromoters of the measure had sectarian objects in view. He could show that all the The expense of the police force would be reduced under the system he proposed from 77,000/. to 57,000/. in Dublin. He showed that the amalgamation of the metropolitan force and the constabulary could be effected at a smaller expense than that at present. Revindicated the scheme from the charge of sectarianism, alleging-many facts to show its falsity. No Objection nidjfa^ S É P Kfthe bill in Belfast as well as ‘ : rffiM fitVas intended to apply. as an amendment, that the bill be read a second time that day three months. »The>fidiMe- <fiv®ectsl'M ^ I mifame ndment was negatived b y .125 to 66............. V , . . r ................._ MTlfoTP j p irjead a second time. On the question that the bill be committed, M r. C ogan characterised the proceedings in carrying thé second reading by surprise as an able piece of party tactics. He should oppose the committal o f the bill. The A t t o r n e y -G eneral for I reland said that the effect of the bill would be immediately to reduce the rates in Dublin. The amalgamation of the two bodies would, remove many difficulties. It was almost impossible properly to command the police in its present state. The object of the bill was not to take out any members of the forcej but to change its government. The improvements in the organisation of the police force proposed by the bill would tend both toitsefficiency and economy. The bill had been forced upon the government by (he conduct of Mr. Whiteside, who had read a letter from Colonel Browne against the Chief Commissioner, Mr. O’Ferrall, without reading the reply of the latter. M r. M a gu ir e moved the adjournment of the debate that the letter might be produced. After some further discussion the motion for adjournment was agreed to. The remaining business was disposed of, and the house adjourned at two o’clock.

An^ amendment limiting the operation of the Bill to children already convicted of some offence was lost, but a proviso requiring a sentence of imprisonment for fourteen days, as in the English Acts, before a child could be sent to the reformatory, was carried against Mr. Deasy’s protest. _ — An important amendment of the Criminal Law, f®VoducedW Mr. Jil'Mahoq,‘tp’ iettle, tlie ^existing o f ihe Qtteen'j fin ch to remove indictments into that court after trial; to enable a bill of exceptions to be tendered in criminal as well as in civil cases ; and to allow subordinate courts to grant new trials, was read a second time on Wednesday by a majority of 54, and committed by a majority of 17, when Mr. Walpole declined to promise to bring in a Bill for the same purpose next session.

He asks to know the number of pupils, teachers, and managers of each religious denomination, the names, religion, and birthplace of all the higher officers of the Board, the attendance of the Commissioners themselves at the meetings of the Board, and of its committees, and finally, a certain report of a Catholic Head Inspector, Mr ;*’ViflBnii «instruction in up lor pub­

He has procured a return of the money spent upon them since_their foundation, a return for each year of the matriculated students, and those who have taken of stud«nt|i^!jepp year holding emoluments paid out of public funds, distinguishing their religious denominations.

— Continental politics are the foreign correspondent’s private domain, and the public must be thankful for what it is allowed to know. A few weeks ago we had nothing but rumours of quarrels, military preparations, threatened invasions, and impending wars. Now the British Queen is about to visit Cherbourg as the French Emperor’s guest; and the difficulty between the United States and England is no longer spoken of. Brussels has elected M. Deifre, an extreme Liberal, noted for nothing but his hatred* of the Church. Belgium declined to spend money in increasing the defences of Antwerp, on which Napoleon III. resolves to convert Lille into a first-class fortress. The German Bund are about to enforce their views about the famous “ Schleswig “ Holstein Mwui^Wurigen” ’b y 'an ,armed array ; and the Austrian Kaiser has made up his mind no longer to tolerate the presence of Canova’s statue of Napoleon Bonaparte in his good city of Milan. The foreign policy of England may be as wise and vigorous as the bitterest enemies of prrfide Albion declare, but it must be acknowledged that appearances are often against it, and that British notions of dignity are sometimes a little quaint. The right of “ visiting” the vessels of independent states in time of peace has been discovered to be no right, and has, therefore, very rightly been abandoned. The awkwardness is, that it was not abandoned until the United States had determined to resist its exercise. But if the dignity of Britain was at all impaired by the transaction, it was impesuhjj'to rifflata. wory mgyts o f qitdting,thejaw bow pwt Sp^n, ■ very angry, and we are to have a demand for explanations.

The Paris Conferences, we are told, have “ taken “ a favourable turn the principalities are to have two separate governments and administrations, with one senate and one constitution. The excitement in

Russia, which was the natural consequence of the re1axation of the iron system of repression practised by the late Czar, is said to be increasing, and the Emperor’s meditated emancipation of the serfs has borne a premature fruit in an insurrection in Esthonia, which may spread to Courland and Livonia. The serfs, after patiently enduring their bondage for so many years, are now unable to wait for the arrival of their promised freedom. They are burning castles, murdering nobles, and defeating the imperial troops.

The sudden change of the Spanish Ministry, and thé açcps^kto:t>f Count O^OBBcff'arid his Vicalvaristas, have not yet been explained, and the explanation, when it comes, is not likely to be very satisfactory.

— The Star has a leader on the dinner-given by the Earl of Shrewsbury, at the Trafalgar, in Greenwicb, mg*tfale. It was attended by four dukes, by the Lord High Chancellor of England, by the Chairman of Committees of the House of Peers, by divers other peers, and by several Privy Councillors of note. In the course of the evening great speeches were made on the past,

out further success of the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot in his litigation with the Duke of Norfolk. The Star says d8pi"'8if PM u ie k t i j r a g e r migd^ ” have permitted his heart to melt to the good “ fortune of the Earl of Shrewsbury, but the Lord "" Chancellor, who will probably have to sit in judg­

ment on the disputed title to the Shrewsbury estates, would have shown better taste i f he had “ absented himself from the festivities.” The indecency of the act on any other supposition than that Lord Chelmsford intended to decline acting as judge in the Irrigation concerning the estates, on the ground that he had been of counsel in the litigation respecting the title, would be so flagrant that we are bound to give the Chancellor the benefit of the hypothesis. : , , v j

— The new Police Bill of Lord Naas has excited a strong feeling of of Dublin. Corporation has expressed a very decided opinion against the measure as applicable to Dublin, and has gone the length of rejecting a candidate for the office ot Lord Mayor who would otherwise have had 'an unanimous election, because, in the discussion on the subject, he treated the majority of the Council who opposed the Bill with some disrespect. Alderman Wilson, in supporting the Bill, said that “ gentlemen opposite” would “ vote black white” for political motives, and though he afterwards withdrew and apologised for the offensive imputation, he finds the escapade a serious bar to his promotion to the highest cfafic tUgmtyT No dnnfat it is well that'- oftfalfaM)' pçisoàjmties should inf some way or discouraged, in order that the Council may escape falling back under the regime of Billingsgate which once gave it a repute so unenviable.

The great questions on India itself yet remained to be dealt with, which he trusted would be done in two or three years.

On the question that the bill be committed, M r. C ogan characterised the proceedings in carrying thé second reading by surprise as an able piece of party tactics. He should oppose the committal o f the bill.

The A t t o r n e y -G eneral for I reland said that the effect of the bill would be immediately to reduce the rates in Dublin. The amalgamation of the two bodies would, remove many difficulties. It was almost impossible properly to command the police in its present state. The object of the bill was not to take out any members of the forcej but to change its government. The improvements in the organisation of the police force proposed by the bill would tend both toitsefficiency and economy. The bill had been forced upon the government by

(he conduct of Mr.

Whiteside, who had read a letter from Colonel Browne against the Chief Commissioner, Mr. O’Ferrall, without reading the reply of the latter.

M r. M a gu ir e moved the adjournment of the debate that the letter might be produced.

After some further discussion the motion for adjournment was agreed to.

The remaining business was disposed of, and the house adjourned at two o’clock.
