      Mr . ' R . Palmes supported the amendment and lir . Sotberon tbe bill . . Sir , 0 . Grk had ho objection to the principle of paying public officers by safcjy ratber than fees-, if sufficient security were provided for the due performance of their duties ;' but such security was not . oand in this bill anymore than that of last year . 2 or this , as well as other reasons he thought it would be unwise to affirm the principle ef the bill ¦ without inquiry . He should , therefore support the amendment .

      Mr .- WiKLK , who dwelt upon the importance of the coroaer ' s office , justified bis own proceedings and thpseof other coroners , and made heavy complainta of : ; tae vexations to which they were subjectcd-by magistrates . ' Sir' I ; Tboixopb , Mr . B . Desison , and Mr . J . Evass , spoke in favour of the amendment ; Mr . " AglWSBT ,- Mr . W . WauAiis , and Sir J . Packisgtos for the second reading of the bill . Iard : H .: TiNK proposed to postpone tbe second rending of the bill , until a select committee should Lave been appointed ; which was agreed to . The second reading was deferred until that day month , and a select committee was ordered-to be apvomted ...-- ^ - ¦ - ¦ -.

      -The House tbea wens into committee upon the Audit . ofBalway 4 £ counts Bill , in progress ; and after a long discussion of some of its details , Mr . PiCKEmoved that the Chairman leave the chair , which ; was ; earried by 62 against 56 . The bill is consequently lost . Other bills : were advanced a stage , and tbe house adjourned at six o ' clock . . - THURSDAY , May 29 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . — 2 ? atiojiai Land Scheme . —On the presentation of the reporj of the select committee on the above scheme ,

      Mr . F . 0 Coknor begged permission to say a few-words on a subject so personally interesting to himself . He said that the bank was established subsequently to the Land Company ^ and entirely against his will . Subse-< roentily , however , as the aceountsof the Bank had shown , he placed 3 , 6001 . of his own money in it , ; which sum he had never drawn out , although much pressed for money to meet legal expenses . A committee , which sat nine ¦ weeks . during , the previous year , had decided that 3 , 400 / . was due to him , and the accounts were subsequently submitted to Mersrs .

      Finlayson and Grey , the actuaries . In the next year Mr . Grey made his credit 1 , 200 ? . more , and he lad been paying the directors £ 3 a week for several months eut of his own pocket . Notwithstanding 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 « very one was to ruin him with expenses . He had put the allottees on plots of four acres , Tsrith 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 more in his debt , and be be lie ^ dt ^ jthat if all the Bums he had ad-TanceJUin various ways were put together the total would not be far . short of £ 7 , 500 . If a 'person had established such a Company ^ to elevate tie aristocracy or the middle classes , pnusa of them would he WBowided throughout the country ; but , as he hadestar l » lished it to elevate the working classesthe

      , anstocracy and middle class were his greatest leviler / s , and he had- no chance—not the slightest , of receiving justice from a Cominitte&of that house / or'from a court of law ; . Pressedashewas ^ forlegal expenses'in Bradshaw ' s case , and Macnamara's ,. ifc . was his pride and his boast to Bay , that he' had never drawn a fraction from that Bank •• ' and what ¦ would the House think of the other four ; Directora « ceiving £ 102 a year each ; while he ( Mr . O'Connor ) would not accept any salary for his services ?

      Sir Jtt . Terkeb said the hon . member could , if he chose , take his claim to the Court of Ghancery Mr . O'Cojtxor : Oh , there is no justice there ! . ( Alaugh . ) Sir H . " Yersee said that the committee had shown every fair consideration for the hon . member , but it was" impossible to go into the investigation without' deep grief at the delusion which had been practised on those unfcappy individuals , who had wrecked their hard earnings in sodelnsive a speculation . ' ( Hear , hear . ) < -As to their paying no rent , he did not know tf hatthey . were called upon to pay . Mr . "O'Co ) JNdR : Four per cent . on . the money advanced . ¦ ;

      SirHiYEBRET ? 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 com . siitteewas that they had endeavoured to do their duty by those poor individuals . ( Hear hear . ) ' Mr . It , Herbert said that , as a member of the committee , he had felt it his duty to inspect two estates b ' elouging to the Land Company , and it was but just to the poor individuals who had jast been attacked by the hon . member for Nottingham , to state his belief that all these charges against him

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

      expected any , seeing that even as it was the tenants were hardly able to hold tbeir heads above water He liauilso visitea the sehoolhouses 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 must confess that his 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 hoo . member for Nottingham bad not been permitred 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 , LordI Drumlaing , the hon . member for Rochdale , Mr . Sbarman Crawford , tbe hon . member for Limenek , Mr . Monsell , the hon . member for Kilkenny , Mr . Sullivan—all membera of the Land Committee that sat in 1848 . visitedI Snig ' s End and Lowbands , in company with him ( Mr , O'Connor ) ; and when he ( Mr . O Connor ) took Mr . Sbarman Crawford to . Lowbands . it began to rain ; he asked him to go into a coltase , but Sharman Crawford said he could stay there if he was wet through , to see those cotUses . as

      fieeonld not have believed that such a plan could be Mopted without seeing them . And as to the schoolhouse being covered with straw , whose fault was that ? Was it his ( Mr . O'Connor ' s )! No ! it was those ruffians irho were located there . ( Order order . ) Tbe report was ordered to lie on the table . The Ceilo 5 LfftDiRT . —The adjourned debate was resumed b y Sir JahJs W .

      it bad been bloodlessly , on our side , su ppressed , ttie tontinuance of martial law wasunneCcVsary ; antfTor &U tbe confiscations and cruelties which'followed the Governor . must be held responsible . That . these cruelties would have reached to a much * greater extant he had no doubt , bad it not been for . the merciful intervention of the Chief Justice . If b y therejpction of the present motion the eondudt pursued in Ceylon should be recognised as that of the Parliament of Great Britain , a fatal blow would be g iven to the character of this country for ' justice and humanity . ¦ - ¦ ¦ ' ' ¦ ' " ' Co \ . TJbksb defended the conduct of the military authorities at Ceylon . " ¦ :

      Mr . HawEs denied that there had been any compromise or understanding with the majority of the ' committee by virtue of which EnrlGrey had assented to the recall of Lord Torringtbn ; and as to forcing Mr . M'Christy to give up : the confidential letters of Colouel Braybrook , he thought under the circumstances that they were justified in demanding the production of these letters . The two points which the house would have toconsider in order to arrive at a just decision were , first , the state of the colony at the time-of these events ; and , secondly , whether an undue decree of severity had been used in putting down the insurrection . The hon . gentleman then proceeded to contend that thrre was a rebellion arising from the same causes as those of 1817 , 1818 , and 1823 -, nd that prompt and vigorous , if not . stern and severe measures , were requisite to check it at the outset Astothecontinuar . ee of martial law after the suepression of the rebellionit

      , was justified in order to preserve tranquillity ; and he reminded the house that m Ireland they had continued the suspension of the Habeas Corpus act longafter the country bad returned to peace and quietness . He denied that a single confiscation had ever taken place under the proclamation of the 18 th of August . It was true that some sequestrations took place , but nothing except what was . perishable was sold , and'the other property wan subsequentl y restored to the parties . With respect to the charge against Earl Grey for having given his approbation to the conduct of Lord Tomngton , Earl Grey had only acted in accordwice with all former precedent in thanking the governor of the colony and the troops at his disposal on receiving intelligence that a rebellion had 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 , j .-

      Mr . Gladstone complained , that in the vindication of Lord Torrington , the witnesses on the other side had been freely : vituperated . Briefly defendibff them and especially Mr . Wodehouse , from tbe charges urged by Sergeant Murphy and Sir J . W . Hogg , the 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 , nbufc repeatedly and recently , the conduct of thegovernor of Ceylon . The charge on which the ministry was now brought to trial included the hi ghest responsibility of government , namely , the wanton deaun ? with

      human life . Rebellion was alleged as the excuse fortherigorouB measures adopted . Without'disputing about words , he observed that 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 b y 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 His vote in favour of . Mr . Baillie ' s resolution was determined by the double conclusion , that the governor had acted with undue , violence ,. and that he had created the plea for his . violent acta by hia ovm previous miscoa ^ act . iThsre wer e no

      facts produced , no single opinion expressed , to support the prolongation of martial law . Nothini ? but absolute mutiny could justifyJthat measure : equivalent as it was to jthe . suppression of " all law , its / unneceSBary continuance was a fault of the most serious complexion . Outofthe . martial law arose the , military trials and summary execution , involvingthe heinous crime of blood guiltiness ; and this crime he emphaticall y charged home upon the government . . . . ,, ;¦ ¦'• i .=. - ¦¦ The ATibBSBT-GESBHATi oh ' served that Mr Gladstone had shifted the ground of the charge ; * hd as the assertion that the proclamation of martial law was unjustifiable had been abandoned . h « <> i « im <> ii

      for the government a victory upon that point . Insisting , amid many manifestations of dissent and impatience , that the greater number of members who intended to vote in condemnation of Lord Torrington and Eari Grey , had not studied the volummous evidence in the 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 of martiallaw , under the circumstances then existing in the colony . '

      Lord Hoiham 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 . Russbu , could not allow the debate to close without expressing the view which the governmenttook of tbe conduct of Lord Torrington and of tlie 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 r ^ pid view of the 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 that Mr . BaiUie should have taken the 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 his ppinioH , confidence ought to be placed in the 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 . DisRAEu aBkeu why , with the sentiments he now expressed , . the noble lord yielded to clamour and granted the committee so easily ? He adverted to the strange doctrines which had been

      enunciated during this disoussion . Mr . Roebuck had argued that Ceylon was not a colony : that it was gained and mnstbe held by force ; Sir J . Hogg had laid down that the conduct of absent governors must not be called , hi question : while the Ministers had withdrawn and sacrificed a governor who , according to the Premier , had fulfilled . the highest dHties m the most : complete manner . Touching upon the subjeofc of the prooeediuga under martial law , Mr . Disraeli maintained that they were dangerous to the tenure of the colony , and observed that he looked tothe responsibility of the Colonial Minister , . with which he fixed him , not because he had approved-these measures in the first instance , but because he had repeated and confirmed that approbation at a recent period .

      After a ; bnef reply by Mr . Baiuue , the house divided , when the motion was negatived by 282 against 202 . ' The remaining business having been disposed of tbe house adjourned at a quarter to three o ' clock . ( Freti our Second Edition of last weehj FRIDAY , Mat 23 .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . — The house having "solved itself into committee on the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill , on the first clause being proposed .

      Mr . T . Ddkcombk moved that the clause be postponed until the house be in possession of the brief , rescript , or letters apostolical , upon which the enactment in the said clause is founded . The hon . gentleman . contended that the rescript should be set forth in the act , or no prosecution could be successfully maintained under its provisions , and lamented the retrogade policy of the noble lord at the headof the government , who , not content with the spirit of bigotry which he had evoked , seemed resolved to sustainat all hazardsthe ntw and

' was holding her down by the hair of the head , and beating her unmercifully . ; about the head and Vface . " He succeeded with some difficulty in forcing him from the

      woman , who was in such a state of exhaustion and suffering that she was unable for seme time to answer his inquiries , but on partially recovering herself , she informed him that the prisoner had dragged her out of bed , and after kicking her about the body till she was a complete mass of bruises , and biting her severely in different parts of her person , he ultimately flung her into the street , and was in the act of renewing his attack upon her , when witness fortunately came up and rescued her from further ill-treatment . On hearing his wife ' s statement , the prisoner made no attempt to deny any portion of it , but uttered the most violent invectivea against her , and threatened that if she ventured to

      give him into custody , it should bo the last charge she would ever be able to bring forward .
