      Mr . R . Palueb nupported tho amendment and Mr . Sotheron the bill . - _ Sir . 0 . Gaev had no objection to the principle of paying tu ' nlic officers by salary rather than fees , if sufficient security were provided for the due performance of their dunes ; but such security wa ^ not . onna in this bill any more th » n that of last year . i *" or this , as well a- » other reasons he thought it -would be unwise to aftirm the principle of the bill •* tlwut inquiry , lie should , therefore support the amendment .

      Mr . Wastsv , who dwelr upon the importance of the c « roiier ' s office , juMified his 0 WH pfoceedinss an I those t ) f other coroners , and made heavy comp laint * «» f the vexations to which they were subj ected by magi straU'S . St 3 . TaoLtops , Mr . B . Denison , and Mr . J . Evaxs . sfoke in favour of the amendment ; Mr . Aei . 1 snt , Mr . W . Wjiiuiis . ami Sr J . Packjxgtos fur the si-i-ond reading « f the bill . Lord II . Vasg proposed to postpone the second tCiiliug of the hill , until a select committee should "have been appointed ; which was agreed to . The second re idmg was deterred until that day month , . and a *« : ect committee was ordered to be appouted .

      The llnufctheu went into committee upon the Audit of Railway Accounts Bill , in progress ; and af . eralongdUcusMon of some of its details , Mr . Tacke moved that the Chairman leave the chair , -whicli was carried by 62 against 56 . The bill is eoi'si-q'ieEily lost . Ot ' icr bills wi r ? advanced a stage , and the house adjourned at six o ' clock .

      THURSDAY , Mat 29 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . — National IjAkd Scheme . —On the presentation of the rep ort of the select committee on the above scheme , Mr . F . O'Connor begged permission to say a few * words on a subject so personally interesting to himself . He raid that the bank was established subsequently to the Land Company , and entirely against Ma will . Subsequently , however , as the accounts of the Bank bad shown , he placed 3 , 6007 . of his own money in it , wh ch sum he had never drawn out , although much pressed-for money to meet

      legal expenses . A committee , which sat nine we * ks during the previous year , had decided that 3 , 400 / . was due to him , and the accounts ¦ were subsequently submitted to Mersrs . Finlaysonand Grey , the actuaries . lathe next year Mr . Grey made his credit 1 , 2007 . more , and he had been paying the directors £ 3 a week for several months eut of his own pocket . Not--withstanding all this , the committee , whose report had just been laid nponthe table , had decided that he was not to be allowed any of

      the money . It seemed as if the object of every one was to ruin him with expenses . He lad put tbe allottees on plots , of four acres , with good cottages , advanced them £ 50 , and cropped , and , after four years , they had not paid him one farthing rent , while their universal complaint was that he had reduced them to a deplorable condition . He had recently got an account bringing the Company £ 195 mora in his debt , and he be lieved that if all the sums he had

      advanced in various ways were pat together the total would not be far short of £ 7 , 500 . If a person had established such , a Company to elevate the aristocracy or the middle classes , praise of thera -would be resounded throughout the country ; but , as he had established it to elevate the working classes , the aristocracy and middle class were his greatest revifers , and he had no chance—not the

      slightest , of receiving justice from a Committee of that house , or from a court of law . Pressed as he was for legal expenses in Bradshaw ' s case , and Macnamara ' s , it was his pride and his boast to say , that he had never drawn a fraction from that bank ; and what would the House think of the other four Directors receiving £ 102 a year each , while he ( Mr . O'Connor ) would not accept any salary for his services ?

      Sir H . Verhey said tbe hon . member could , if he chose , take his claim to the Court of Chancery Mr . O'Coiwob : Ob , there ia no justice there ! ( Alaugh . ) Sir H . Yerne y said that the committee had shown every fair consideration for the hon . member , hut it was impossible to go into tbe investigation without deep grief at the delusion which had been practised on those unhappy individuals , who had wrecked their hard earnings in so delusive a speculation . ( Hear , hear . ) As to their paying no rent , he did not know what they were called npon to pay . ' Mr . O'COXXOB : Pour per cent , on the money advanced .

      SirH . Vernei ? The committee had left that matter to be settled by the Master in Chancery . He believed that the gravamen of the hon . member's charge against the committee was that they had endeavoured to do their duty by those poor individuals . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . H . Herbert said that , as a member of the committee , he bad felt it his duty to inspect two estates belonging to the Land Company , and it was but just Ut the poor individuals who had just been attacked by the hon . member for Nottingham , to state his belief that all these charges against hisa were well founded . They complained that the ; had

      been brought to tbe land under false pretences , had been induced to leave places in which they might have comfortably supported themselves by honest industry , and placed in a new position , for which their previous habits and occupations had wholly unfitted them . lie had visited their houses , and been struck with the wretched contrast they prenityed to tbe cottages of the labourers in the vtcisenfc , In short , no person could visit the estates without being struck with the conviction that tbe whole scheme was a perfect failure ; and when the hon . member complained that he received no rent , he ( Mr . Herbert ) wondered how he could have

      expected any , seeing that even as it was the tenants were hardly able to bold their heads above water . He bad also visited the schoolbouses and found them deserted , the windows broken , and filled with straw and the remains of some banners which had been used in some inaugural procession connected with the scheme . ( Hear , hear . ) He mast confess that Bis inspection had filled him with commiseration for the unfortunate people who had been deluded from their homes , and with thankfulness that such men as the hon . member for Nottingham had not been permitted to experimentalise , on a larger scale , with the fortunes and happiness of the noble people of England . ( Cheers . )

      Mr . O'Connor hoped he would be allowed to give an answer ; to the hon . gentleman . Lord Ingestre , Lord Drumlaing , the hon . member for Rochdale , Mr . Sbarman Crawford , the hon . member for Limerick , Mr . Monsell , the hon . member for Kilkenny , lit . Sullivan—ail member * « f the Land Committee thttsatinl 8 i 8 visited Snig ' s Bad and L'wbands , in company with him ( Mr . O'Connor ); and when he ( Mr . O'Connur ) tot * Mr . Sharraan Crawford to

      Lowbands . it began to rain ; he asked him to go into a Colta ; e . but Sbarman Crawford said he could stay there if he was wet tbrongb , to see those cottages , as he could not have believed that Mich a plan could be adopted without seeing them . And as to the schoolhouse being covered with straw , whose fault was that ? Was it his ( Mr . O'Connor ' s ) f No ! it was those ruffians who were located there . ( Order , order ) The report was ordered to lie on tbe table .

      Thk Cevlos faqoiBT . —The adjourned debate was resumed by Sir Jaws W . Hooe , who defended the conduct of Lord Torrington , as governed by a prudent consideration for . tbe security of tbe colony . Tbe courtsmartial were , he contended , property constituted , and it was impossible to say tbat their judgments had not been in all cases io accordance with the cridenceadduced . There could exist no doubt but that-there bad been a rebellion , aud there was equally little doubt but that it had been effectually

      met and quelled by the energy of the governor , with respect to the censure conveyed by the IBSQtttumupo n the conduct ot Earl Grey in approving SISt !?

      it had been bioodlessly , on our side , suppressed , the continuance of martial law was unnecessary ; and / for all the confiscations and cruelties which followed the Governor must beheld respoirsibK - That these cruelties would have reached to a much greater * xtavt he had no doubt , had it not been for the nt . rcif il intervene n of the ChM Justice . If by the re . h'Ction of the present motion the conduct purMieu in Ceylon should be recognised as that of the I .. rhamentof Great Britain , a fatal blow _ wm . Ii he given to the character of this country for justice and humanity . , , , * ,.,. -,-. C « l . Dossb defended the conduct of the militari authoriiifs » t Cexlon . ¦

      Mr . Hawes denied that there had been any compromise or understanding with the majority of the committee by virtue of which E » rl Gr «\ v had assented to tbe recall of Lord Torriusrion ; mid as to forcing Mr . M'Christy to give up the confidential letters of Colonel Bray brook , ho thought under tbe circumstances that they were justifies in demanding the production of these ltt : ei « . The two points which the house would have tocon sider in order to arrive at a just deuiswn v . eve , first , the state of tbe colony at the time of the .-e events ; and , secondly , whether nn uiidua dogree of s-verity had been u * ed in putting down the insurrection . The bon . gentleiw . n t >< en proceeded t « contend that tlwre was a rebellion arisins < rom tl e

      same causes as those of 1817 , 1818 , and 1823 , .-mi that prompt and vigorous , if not stern and set ere measures , were requ site to check it at- the outset . As to the continuance of maitial law after tbe suppression of the rebellion , it was justified in order to preserve tranquillity ; aud he reminded the house that in Ireland they bad continued the suspension of tbe Habeas Corpus act longafter the country had returned to peace and quietness . He denied that a single confiscation had ever taken place under the prorlamation of the 18 th of August . It was true that some sequestrations took place , but nothing except what was perhhable was sold , and the other property was subsequently re » tored to the parties . With respect to the charge against Earl Grey for

      having given his approbation to the conduct of Lord Torrington , Earl Grey bad only acted in accordance with all former precedent in thanking the governor of the colony and th" troops nt his disposal on receiving intelligence that a rebellion bad broken out and had been quelled ; and such an expression of thanks by no means implied an approval of every act committed by them in the course of their proceedings . Mr . Gladstone complained that in the vindication of Lord Torrington , the witnesses on the other side bad been freely vituperated . Briefly defending them and especially Mr . Wodehous-e , from the charges urged by Sergeant Murphy and Sir J . W . Hogg , tbe hon . member addressed himself to the main question , which he declared to involve not

      merely the character of Lord Torrington , but the whole policy of the government . He assumed as an undeniable fact that the Colonial Secretary had approved , not in a single despatch , but repeatedly and recently , tbe conduct of thegovernor of Ceylon . The charge on which tbe ministry was now brought to trial included the highest responsibility of government , namely , the wanton dealing with human life . Rebellion was alleged as tbe excuse for the rigorous measures adopted . Without disputing about words , he observed tbat the present specimen of that crime assumed the mildest aspect , and lasted a shorter time than any previous rebellion ever known . It was also more excused by the faults of the governing authorities , and among

      these faults he dwelt at much length upon the injudicious , taxes imposed , and the outrages practised upon the ancient faith and habitudes of the people . Ilis vote in favour of Mr . Bailiie ' s resolution was determined by tbe double conclusion , tbat the governor had acted with undue violence , and that he had created the plea for his violent acts by his own previous misconduct . There were no facts produced , no single opinion expressed , to support the prolongation of martial law . Nothing but absolute mutiny could justify that measure : equivalent as it was to the suppression of all law , its unnecessary continuance was a fault of the most serious complexion . Out of the martial law

      arose the military trials and summary execution , involving the heinous crime of bloodguiltiness ; and this crime he emphatically charged home upon the government . The Attornbt-Geksbaii observed that Mr . Gladstone had shifted the ground of the charge , and as tbe assertion that the proclamation of martial law was unjustifiable had been abandoned , he claimed for the government a victory upon that point . Insisting , amid many manifestations of dissent and impatience , tbat the greater number of members who intended to vote iu condemnation of Lord Torrington and Earl Grey , had not studied the volumnious evidence in tbe case , he reminded them that the committee , who had studied that evidence , professed themselves unable to come to a . decision .

      How , then , could the house venture to pronounce sentence ? The hon . and learned baronet proceeded to enumerate a variety of testimony , direct and inferential , in approval both of the proclamation and the continuance ot martial law , under the circumstances then existing in tbe colony . Lord Hotham gave some explanations touching the proceedings of the committee of inquiry , and repudiated the assertion that their report was the result of an understanding with the government . Lord J . Russell could not allow the debate to close without expressing the view which the government took of the conduct of Lord Torrington and ofthe question before the house , which Mr . Gladstone had narrowed to two issues—the

      prolongation of martial law , and the number of executions . He took a rapid view ofthe general administration of Lord Torrington , who had in a few weeks suppressed a rebellion and eradicated its seeds ; he had left in prosperity a colony which he had found embarrassed , and the people tranquil who had been on the verge of a rebellion ; and he observed tbat Mr . Bailiie should have taken tbe whole result into consideration , and not have fastened upon one or two points which he thought open to objection . The government had not expressed any disapprobation of Lord Torrington ' s conduct in dealing with the rebellion ; and , in bis opinion , confidence ought to be placed iu tbe governor of a colony , and the government ought not , as a government , to throw censures upon measures of which he was more likely to judge rightly . Mr . Disraeli asked why , with the sentiments he

      now expressed , the noble lord yielded to clamour and granted the committee so easily ? He adverted to tbe strange doctrines which had been enunciated during this discussion . Mr . Roebuck had argued that Ceylon was not a colony ; that it was gained and must be held by force ; Sir J . Hogg had laid down that the conduct of absent governors must not be called in question : while the Ministers had withdrawn and sacrificed a governor who , according to the Premier , had fulfilled the highest duties in the most complete manner . Touching npon the subject of the proceedings under martial law , Mr . Disraeli maintained that they were dangerous to the tenure of the colony , and observed that he looked to the responsibility of the Colonial Minister , with . which he fixed him , not because he had approved these measures in tbe first instance , but because he had repeated and confirmed that approbation at a recent period .

      After a brief reply by Mr . Bailue , the house divided , when the motion was negatived by 282 against 202 . The remaining business having been disposed of the house adjourned at a quarter to three o ' clock . FRIDAY , Mat 30 . HOUSE OF LORDS—The Administration of Justice in Criminal Law Improvement Bill , and the Prevention of Offences Bill were respectively read for the third time and passed , The Church Buildings Act Amendment Bill went through committee , as did the Public-houses ( Scotland ) Bill . The Committal of the Registration of Assurances Bill was discussed for some time , but ultimately the motion stood over until Tuesday . ; Their lordships adjourned at half-nast seven ;

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . - Land ato Labook Bisi . —Upon the motion of the question of the adjournment of tbe house until Monday , Mr . Roebuck took the opportunity of asking a question of the hon . member for Nottingham , relative to his National Land Scheme and too Bank connected with it .. By a circular issued , be found that the hon . gentleman took upon himself all the responsibility ofthe Bank—making himself responsible to whomsoever might become a depositor in tba National Land Savings Bank . The circular was addressed to the poor , whose earnings were acquired hardly . Amongst the large number of such depositors was a poor man named Pollard , sixty years of age , who out of his hard industry had laid by for his old age a sum of £ 67 , and which sum he confided to the honour of the hon . member

      for Nottingham . This man afterwards Wished to get back the money he had so deposited , but instead of his money he received a circular stating that tbe hon . gentleman was advised by the directors of the Bank to suspend payments until the committee ofthe House of Commons had come to a decision respecting tho Bank . The coumitte bad properly made a distinction between the Bank , the depositors in hard money , and those who had advanced their money for the purchase of land . The question ofthe Bank was withdrawn from the consideration of Parliament , and the question he now had to put to the hon . gentleman was this : —Ai Parliament would not lend its aid to him to withhold from the depositors their bard-earnings , whether he would continue this mode of putting oH his just creditors . ( Hear . )

      Mr . O ' Cosmos , in answer to tho honourable member , had to state , tbat when tbe Land Company was wound up-which was now going onthese depositors of small sums would all be paid off . He might state that this bank was commenced contrary to his wishes ,, having been agreed to at a onference held in Manchester , appointed by contributors to the Land Scheme , The bank was

      Umten Mosday, Mat 2d. Rouoh Mov.5? L <Ps...

      ' parateJ from the Land Company , in consequence of the judges in several courts having described it an illegal , -an opinion which coincided with that in * vimaiel to htm in that house by the Attorney-General , t ' mt if tho b-irili was kept connected with the Land Coinnany . he would be liable to lie nrccpeded against . Ho , had paid into that bank £ 3 , 605 , in order to keep it open , a circumstance which the honourable member did not choose to mention ; ittid perhaps thn honourable member wa < not aware th-tt the C < tm |« atiy owed him nearly £ 7 , 500 . The honourable member for Sheffield sho-ik his head at that B'atement . He had ever beeui his greatest oppiinniit ; b'it tho censure of slaves was adulation , and he had now given him the only answer he could give . ( A laugh . ) - Ecclesiastical Titlks BiLi ..--The consideration iu committee of th \» bill was then resumed . ;

      Mr . Kkooh proposed au amendment to the first clause enacting that no judicial proceedings-should oe instituted against Roman Catholic prelates under th » act without the consent of the Auoruey-Getii-ral being first had and obtained . This amendment was discussed for some time and negatived without a division . :-Tlie question that clause 1 stand part of the bill having oeeu put , a discursive debate , partly referring to the technical hearing of the clause , partly ranging over the various topics suggested by the bill itself , » as closed hy a divi .-ion , when there appeared for the clause 244 ; against 62 ,

      Lord J . Russell moved ibat the chairman report progress , witti have to sit again on Monday . The house th " ' n resumed . . The Colonial Qualification Bill was read a second time , after which the house adjourned .

On Sunday evening he went out'to visit a friend , and on returning home shortly after eleven o ' clock , she commenced assailing hint witli . ihe most opprohious language , and , after a fruitless attempt to quiet her , he at length told her , thatutijess she at once desisted , he should be compelled to turn het out of the room . He had no sooner uttered tlie threat than the prisoner , caught up a tattle-knife ,

      and declaring that she would run him through with it , made a thrust at his side , which he succeeded in partially warding off by a rapid motion of the arm , but , in doing so , received a frightful cut across the back of tbe hand , which nearly severed two of his fingers . The prisoner then made a seoond . cut at him , which laid the side of his head open to the bone ; and , observing that she was about to . renew the attack , he hastened out of the room , the door of which he secured until-tho arrival of a policeroan , who conveyed her to the station house , and subsequently assisted in removing witness to the hospital , where his wounds were dressed . —In

      answer to the charge , the prisoner said that she had acted under feelings of strong provocation and excitement , occasioned by tbe cruel conduct of her husband whdattacked her in the first instance , and that she was compelled to use the knife to protect herself from his violence . —The prisoner was remanded for a week .

She went out and got half-a-oint of rum ; when she came

      back she found the room filled with women assembled to celebrate what is commonly termed an " Irish wake . " After the company had dispersed prisoner commenced quarrelling with her , and then struck her a violent blow on the face , and immediately afterwards kicked her in a most dangerous manner so as to render her instantly insensible . When she returned to consciousness she found herself laying on a bed that the surgeon had directed , to be brought down , as she could not be removed , she was in such a dangerous state . By her side was a pool of blood that bad flowed from her wounds . —Prisoner , who is the terror ofthe neighbourhood , declared he had not struck his wife at all , and thc injuries she had received were the result of

      a fall down stairs on to a ehair , and not from a kick . —The testimony ot Dr .

Robbery . —Edward Freeman was again brought up before Alderman Lawrence , charged on suspicion of stealing a watch from the person of Mr . Bell , tbe treasurer to the Aborigines Protection Society . —Alderman Lawrence said the evidence was not sufficient to insure a conviction if he sent the case for trial ; and , therefore , as a previous conviction had been booked against the prisoner , he would send him to tbe House of Correction for

      and threatining to drown herself . Her husband , thinking it was merely a boast , dared her to do so , and said she was too ureat a coward to attempt anything ofthe sort . Suddenly she sprang forward , and was climbing over the parapet of the bridge , when the little boy who had overheard them quarrelling ran forward , seized hold of her dress , and drew her . back . She told him to let her alone , and not to interfere between ber and her destiny . He , however , detained her until the arrival of a constable , when be gave her into custody , At the station-house she complained of her husband ' s brutality to her , and said she was covered fiom head to foot with wounds and bruises inflicted on her by her husband with the poker . —An elderly man here

Now you have ' provoked it . I'll tell the alderman how had you have been . Your worship , that woman , my wife , was transported for

      her half way down the stairs , which led into a room on the ground floor . Her husband , who' was at the top of the stairs , ran down to protect bis wife , when the prisoner drew a claspknife with a long and sharp blade from his pocket and plunged it into FarrelPs belly .

While Astbury was looking at the wound the prisoner took a knife from his left-band trowsers' pocket and dropped it behind him . Astbury picked it up and said , " You have thrown down this kni fe , " to which the other made no reply . —Mrs . Farrell was called upon 6 o give evidence , and upon the book being tendered to her said she could not be sworn , and on being asked the

      reason intimated that it must be evident to the magistrate that she could not take an oath . The usher ofthe court said the woman was pregnant , and that low women who were in that situation entertained an absurd superstition that it was unlucky to take an oath . —Mr . Ingham said , he could well dispense with the testimony of the brothelkeeper , and directed an officer to ascertain as soon as possible whether the wounded man was in a fit state to give bis deposition . If be was , he would repair te the hospital , with Mr . Symons , the chief clerk , and receive it . —The Prisoner , in his defence , said , he did not recollectany thing of the facts given in evidence against bim , and Mr .

      in . Fur India and China there has een i ather mon demand , but generally speaking , the maiket shows no improvement , and some of our largest houses rep « rt no increase either in price or in business .
