HOUSE OF LORDS. Monday, April 4. Lord Campbell called the attention of the Government to the fact that a peace deputation from this country had waited upon the French Emperor, lae noble and learned lord cited passages from Grocius and Puffendorf to prove that the gentlemen composing the deputation, not having the sanction of their own Government for their proceedings, had been guilty of a violation of the law of the land. The Earl of Clarendon was surprised that the noble lord, upon the slender evidence before them, should have charged the merchants of London with having committed treason. The noble lord's speech proceeded unon a fallacy, that he attributed to these gentlemen an act which they did not commit when he assumed that they had spoken in the name of the nation.

1 hey did no such thing-they did no more than present an address to the Emperor of the French from certain merchants and traders of the city of London. A highly respectable gentleman with whom he was acquainted called upon him two or three days before he declaration was sent over to France, showed it to him, and asked him to read it over. It certainly appeared to him that its contents were perfectly unobjec tunable. The Earl of Ellenborough agreed the opinions expressed by his noble and learned friend. The hole transaction had filled him with unqualified disgust.

The Earl of Malmesbuby testified to the good impression which the presentation of the address had created in Paris. The Lord Chancellor trusted that it would not go forth to the country that these proceedings had been necessarily illegal, for, if so, they would subject every person concerned in them to a criminal prosecution. Lord AMi'BELL presented a petition from Armenian merchants in Eengal, complaining of certain grievances to which they were subjected. Tuesday, April 5. The Bail in Error Bill was read a third time passed.

The Land Improvements (Ireland) Bill was read a second time. A conference was appointed with the Commons, with view to an address to the Crown for a. commission ot inquiry into the proceedings at the late Hall election. pong districts. Cholera had brosen out at Padang, a number of persons had died." The SilijroporelJiVee Press of the 17th of February contains the following further interesting particulars In connexion with the earthquakes which took place in Java on the morning of the 21st of December last we have been furnished with the following extract from the log of the ship A.

J. Keer, Captain Gardner, then on her way from Lombok to Singapore, from which it will be seen that a severe shock was experienced on board that vessel. The position of the ship at the time is given as being in lat. 9'48 south, and long. 104" 15 east December 21, 1852.

At 1 a.m. was awakened by a tremulous motion of the ship, myffirst impression being that she had struck on a reef. All bands were roused by it and much alarmed, the vessel trembling violently for about three minutes, when it subsided. Attributed it to the shock of an The following additional particulars regarding the fearful convulsions of nature which occurred at Bands, in November and December last, are taken from the report of Captain Van Romer, of H.N.M.'s brig de Haai At seven o'clock in the morning of the 27th of November had a shower of rain from the S.W. at half-past seven weather was fair, with light clouds and a faint breeze from the W.

the ship lay in six fathoms water, with 35 fathoms of the larboard chain out, with the head to the E.S.E. felt a vertical seaquake, with an undulating motion running from the S.E. to the N. W. the sensation was as if the ship had been lifted up, the deck surged under our feet, and everything loose on board shook this trembling lasted for two minutes (on shore five minutes).

From the deck directing our eyes to the islands surrounding us (Banda Neira and Louthoir), we saw columns of dust rising up everywhere, arising from the destruction of buildings. At the moment of the earthquake the barometer stood at 2.62, and the thermometer at 85 thus nothing unusual Gunong Api gave out very little smoke. At eight I sent a boat to the shore with midshipman der Berger, with a commissioner to the Resident to ascertain the result of the earthquake, and if I could be of any assistance. At ten minutes past eight noticed the water rise at once, but shortly thereafter, with a wave from the N.W., it ran out with an indescribable rapidity. The ship was then laid with her head to the N.W., and as the water ran out more and more I let out chain to nineteen fathoms, and when the water stopped falling we found only three and three-quarter water on the sounding the reef was entirely uncovered at about a brig's distance from us.

The water now rose with stiil greater rapidity than that with which it had fallen, and it was astonishing to see how it surmounted everything on the shore and threw back on the beach the 65 prahus which, hod-been set adrift and thrown together by its falling. trary, seemed to give currency to that erroneous belief. The right hon. gentleman had entirely mistaken the object and intention of that minute. Its sole object was to remedy what the then Government believed to be a violation of the right of conscience.

They felt that while the founders of schools belonging to the Roman Catho-lies were at full liberty to constitute trusts for the management of these schools in the manner most in accordance with their religious opinions, the same liberty was not granted to the founders of schools connected with the Church of England and they were anxious to remedy this inconsistency, and to give the control of the Church of England schools to the clergymen of the parish in all matters affecting the moral as well as the religious teaching of the schools, and, for the life of him, he could not see, after all that had been said, any one principle or civil or religious liberty which had been infringed by giving leave to the founders of schools to found them as they thought fit in that respect, and enabling the schools so constituted to share in the benefits of the Government grant. (Hear, hear.) Before sitting down he wished to ask the noble lord, or, in his absence, the Chancellor of the Exchequer first, whether it was the intention of the Government to bring into operation their minute cancelling the minute of the 12th of June last, before submitting it with their other minutes to the consideration of the House, and.before it should have received that discussion which its importance merited Second, whether the bill which it was intended to introduce was to be restricted to England and Wales, or whether it was to he extended to Scotland and, if so, whether the free schools, or ragged schools as they were called in Scotland, would be be enabled to participate in the benefits of the increased grant And, third, whether with reference to that part of the scheme which was to give power to the Committee of Privy Council to make alterations in trusts in cases where the trustees did not agree with them it was intended to bring in a separate bill for each separate case in which the committee proposed a variation in a particular trust, or whether it was intended at the end of every session, or ot some other stated period, to introduce a general measure sanctioning all the particular alterations of the Committee of Council In conlusion, he begged to say for himself, that he fully agreed in the wisdom and justice of the course which was taken by Lord Derby's Government last year on this subject, and that he was perfectly ready to vindicate the minute which it was now proposed to cancel against all the imputations which had been brought against it. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Ph inn urged upon the Government the necessity of the compulsory education of the lower orders. We had extirpated wild beasts from the country, but we had irtowinn anions- us a mass of savatres utterly ported that there was a case for further inquiry, or the inhabitants of the borough desired inquiry.

Mr. Thornely withdrew his amendment, and the writ was ordered. Wednesday, April 6. On the order of the day for the second reading of the Probate of Wills and Grant of Administration Bill, The Solicitor-General observed, that when the subject of the ecclesiastical courts was lately brought before the House he had suid, that if the report of the committee were not presented within a very short time, it would be his duty to submit a measure embracing the whole subject of the testamentary jurisdiction. The present bill was directed to only a fragmentary part of this large subject, and was so imperfectly expressed that, instead of remedying the existing evils, it would render them ten times greater than before.

He suggested, therefore, that the bill, in the principle of which he concurred, should be read a second time, with a clear understanding that it should remain upon the table and if, within a reasonable time, a larger measure should not be introduced by the Government, he should have no objection to allow the bill to go into committee and it would be his earnest desire so to amend it as to make it a very considerable instalment of a much needed reform. Mr. Bethell then proceeded to sketch out the principal alterations contemplated by the Government. It was proposed, he said, to abolish all the peculiar testamentary jurisdictions (including) as he afterwards stated, the archidiaconal courts) and the metropolitan court of York, establishing one court of probate in all matters of contentious jurisdiction, reserving to the diocesan courts the power of granting probate of wills within a limited amount incommon form, under certain conditions, providing for the due qualifications of the chancellors or judges, and that every will proved in a diocesan court should be transmitted to a general registry of wills to he established in London. It would be also proposed to give the County Courts a certain extent of jurisdiction in cases of testacy and intestacy.

The metropolitan jurisdiction it was intended to trnsfer to the Conrt of Chancery, which would he-come the great court of probate, the proctors, registrars, and clerks of seats being officers of the Court of Chancery for the purpose of administering the new jurisdiction, the proctors, retaining, by way of compensation, for a certain time, the exclusive conduct of the business of proving wills in common iorm. Mr. Hi-me inquired whether the measure would include Scotland and Ireland The Solicitor-General replied, that the object would be to make probates in one country universally and reciprocally valid in the others. Mr. Henley regretted that some notice had not beer.

bcinc determi: venture. Commander Lambert, R. was in command of the whole. Lieutenant Mitcheson, I.N., second in command the expedition altogether was about 180 strong On the 16th of January the attack was made on Pantanno, and the place as formerly (when Hewett commanded) carried with very little loss. Mitcheson reeved a slight wound in the thigh-he wu he only officer touched.

On the following morning (17) the advance was made up the creek (two boats could not pull abreast), the banks low and covered with dense jungle, stakes driven into the river, and trees filled across to bar the passage. The boats had got up about four miles, when who would have thought it? a few explosions were heard from either bank, and corresponding to these two or three men fell, a few more explosions and two or three men again fell, and so on to the end of the chapter. The. fire got hotter and hotter, till they were driven back with twelve men killed and wounded, seven men, including Mitcheson, belonging to the Mosuffer. Mitcheson was wounded severely, the ball passing through the bend of the knee, and it will be some time ere he can recover the use of the limb.

Major Hawes, af the 1st Madras Fusiliers committed suicide at Bassein, by cutting his throat. The reason for such a rash act is yet shrouded in mystery. The report which went home last mail, that General Steele nietwith areverse, turns out to be untrue. That officer is employed in carrvingout his orders, and is now making a sweep round Pegu. At Ava peace counsels are in the ascendant; the brother of the King is still the ruler, and the king himself as a prisoner that brother's hands.

Commissioners are on their way from the capital to the British camp, to listen to the terms of peace which we are to dictate. The whole country of Pegu is peaceful, with the exception of the robber bands, which infest the whole province. It was one of these bands against which Capt. Loch and his party were sent. Another party, under Commander Indian navy, was sent up the Bassein river, and had done right good service.

The last-named officer landed his men and three guns, and pushed across the cauntry in pursuit of the enemy. The latter was at last brought to bay, when Rennie's party opened upon them, and, at the distance of fifty yards, killed some fifty with grape, and canister; the remainder flew in every direction. A correspondent of the Calcutta Citizen thus writes regarding the affair The enemy's outpost was reached on the 23d and driven in, closely followed by the boats as far as the main stronghold. Four small pieces were landed, and the bluejackets started 16 miles inland across country to a place 8 miles from Donnabeau, driving before them 12,000 of the enemy, and killing one chief and five men, getting back to their boats, about 35 miles' hard marching, the following night. OaJhr Cnpn-Sgmivg'M fec again started up the river, and on the 28Cn reached Lymena by dark, and landed the guns at daylight.

On the 29th he pushed on in search of the native chief, halted in the evening until midnight, and again pushed on by the light of the moon, and at daylight of the 30th was in presence of the enemy in force numbering about 3,200 men, who came on very boldly, mistaking our fellows for Dacoits, and opened fire. Captain Rennie waited for them until within about 200 yards, when he returned the enemy's fire with canister and grape, repeating the dose a second time, which sent the Burmese flying in all directions, throwing down their arms, and in most complete confusion. Forty-eight of the enemy were killed and fifty taken prisoners, among which were the two sons of the chief, one of them being severely wounded in the foot. The chiefs horse was found out in half by a shot. 1 he rout of the enemy was most complete, and the villagers, who had been much oppressed by the chief and his followers turned out in pursuit." This affair of Captain Rennies seems to be one of the most brilliant performed during the whole war.

General Godwin returned to Prome after garrisoning Meaday. In Kurraehee some disturbances have taken place, but the particulars are not known. The state of Bha-wulpore, on the Indus, is also in a disturbed condition. The present Nawab, an illegitimate son of the late Nawab, it is said, was declared the successor of his father through intrigues in the Zenana. The rightful heir is Hajee Mahomed, who has until lately been imprisoned by his illegitimate brother; hut is now at liberty, and, at the head of a considerable force, is endeavouring to regain his rights.

Five hundred miles of the Bhawulpore territory borders upon our north-west frontier, and this flame once lighted in a land where thousands of the dispersed Khalsa soldiers are without employment, will, it is to be feared, give employment to our troops for Moolton and Shikarpoore. In the Punjaub and North-West provinces all is at present quiet. The Nizam's country is, as usual, in a disturbed state.

Dr. Phillimore observed that the means provided the bill would defeat its end and aggravate the existing confusion and mischief. Mr.

Hume recommended Mr. Hadfieid, who had charge of the bill, to assent to the course Suggested by the Solicitor-General. He inquired whether the Government measure would include the prospective aDoli-tion of sinecures The Solicitor-General had not the least difficulty saying that the measure would abolish all those sinecures which had been the opprobrium of this House and not only sinecures and possessions, but in rever- SIMr. Walpole observed, that nothing would be gained the second reading of the bill, in which the Government provisions could not be embodied without in3truc tion to the committee and recommended that the second reading should be deferred for a month. In the improvements of our testamentary jurisdiction shadowed forth by the Solicitor-General he entirely concurred; but he believed that, when he once began to deal with the jurisdiction of the ecclesiastical courts in testamentary matters, the learned gentleman would find it absolutely necessary to deal with the whole of their jurisdiction, as had been the intention of the late Government.

Mr. Hadfield consented to defer the bill for a month, which was agreed to. The House then went into committee upon the Aggravated Assaults Bill, the first clause of which underwent much discussion and some alterations an amendment, proposed by Mr. Phinn, to add to the penalties imposed by the bill corporal punishment, being negatived bv 108 to 50.

It is often difficult to discriminate betwixt the good and the bad, owing to the deceptive appearances which things are made to assume. This applies an especial degree me ii iii Coffee Trade and hence the frequent cauUonhdd out bv Bennett and Company of IpswichjfTiose good system in business has completely supplanted trading principles and practices of a badjhndency. The Proprietors, when transacting busjysess with the markets, take especial care to select throod and reject the bad, in order to render theinjjtlrves unimpeachable in the public eye. The Teas and Coflws of Bennett and Company are cnnrl in aDDearance, flavour and small, and are highly exhilarating and beneficial to the system. A comparison of Bennett's articles with some of the specimens ordinarily supplied will raise those of the high in the estimation of the consumer.

The good example which Bennett and Co. have set in the Tea and Coffee Trade has secured the good-will of the inhabitants of Ipswich, whose trading obligations are daily on the increase. Another good feature Bennett and Company's trade is that of cheapness. Never were Teas and Coffees sold at such moderate prices as they arc now supplied at the Proprietor's Warehouses, which fact (coupled with the quality of the articles) should serve as a suffi. cient inducement for all to make a trial of the goods.

CHARLES DORLING, Bridge Street. BE FOUND, of her riiufsdi a a a HOUSE OF 0 S. Monday, April 4. The Chancellor of the Exchequer gave notice that he should bring in the Butot.Uiion.Monday, the 18th instant. NATIONAL EDUCATION.

Lord John Russell made a statement of the intentions of Government on the subject of education, and moved for leave to bring in a bill for carrying them out. Tracing the history of the question from the time of Bell and Lancaster, he adverted to the difference between, and to the defects of, their systems, aud to ths objections raised by the Church, which resulted in the foundation of the National Society, in 1811. He also referred to the efforts of the Dissenters, and to their school society, and to the proposal made in 1831 by Lord Grev's Government for public grants to the two societies in proportion to their activity. This plan was adopted till 183'J, when Lord Melbourne's Government thought that a more discriminating plan ought to be pursued, and a narrow majority sanctioned the appointment of'the Committee of Council, further modifications having been made in 18-16. He observed that, though much attention had been given to the quantity and quality of the education of the poorer classes, the State had not materially interfered as to its character and nature.

After adducing a great number of educational statistics to show the present condition of things, and stating that at present there were 2,108,473 scholars receiving instruction, and that half a million sterling had been paid by the humbler classes in "school pence," he argued that the result of the efforts that had been made had been striking and satisfactory. It was considered, therefore, that it should be sought to strengthen and improve a system which had originated in voluntary effort, rather than to attempt to setup a plan which might disturb the existinc system without providing an equivalent. But he thought that the present system was capable of much improvement. He then explained the nature of the training schools, to which he gave much approbation. His lordship next proceeded to say that he could never subscribe to the doctrine that the State's duty was non-interference as regarded the religious and moral training of the people.

Nor did it appear to him that the country coincided in the views of those who maintained the voluntary system. He next entered upon the question of secular schools, to which he was they excluded all kinds of religious teaching or admitted a natujal theology to the exclusion of Christianity. The people had, he believed, acted with right instinct in requiring that religion should be an element in the teaching in their schools, and it was no part of his plan to propose a secular system in lieu of the present one. After adverting to the difficulties in the way of establishing a general scheme, he intimated that he thought there might be one sort of community in towns with a corporate organization, where rates might be devsted, undervotes of two-thirds of the town council, in aid of the voluntary exertions of individuals, and of the pence paid by parents, under stringent conditions, and this was one part of the plan. It was also proposed by the Committee of Council, by minutes, the form of which was not matured, to allot a certain sura per head for each scholar, when the schoolmaster had obtained his certificate; and it was also thought that additional grants might be madeto very poor places.

He next came to the question of charitable bequests, and to the labours of Lord Brougham, and of the commission on the subject. These bequests, it was thought, should be subjected to distinct superintendence, whilst the judicial power should be in other hands than those which should regulate the administration. The latter should be entrusted to a committee of privy council, with the Lord President at its head, which should have general power to propose schemes to vary trusts such schemes, where accepted by the trustees, to take effect at once, and where not, a bill to carry them out should be introduced into that house. There were cases, as where loaves and other articles were bequeathed for distribution, in which positive evil was done to localities, and it would be far better to apply such funds to the improvement of education. As regarded the judicial power, where an income was under 30 the question would go to the County Court, and where it exceeded that sum, to the Master of the Rolls, or a Vice-Chan-ceitor.

After explaining that the sum to be asked for the purposes of education would appear in the votes, and so be submitted for discussion, he next adverted to the recommendation in the speech from the throne for the promotion of science and art and, explaining that it was intended to consolidate a department of art for the establishment of museums, he said, in reference to the question before the House, that drawings and models were to be furnished by such museums to public schools in the country. He then addressed himself to the subiect of another class of education, that of the Universities. He adverted to the valuable reports which had beeu furnished by the commissioners, and to their recommendations, and said that the Government was not inclined to bring forward any particular scheme until the Universities had expressed their opinions, and had had an opportunity of adopting such measures as they might think advisable. But he would state the opinions of the Government. And, first, as to Oxford, he said that considerable change was required in the constitution of the government of the University, and that there ought to be greater power of introducing into the governing body those engaged in teaching as professors or in the colleges.

To this Government would look aud if the University did not introduce a measure on the subject, or brought forward one which fell short of what was required, application would be made to Parliament. There ought to be more free admission to the teaching of the Universities, which were intended and ought to be conducted for the benefit of the country, and their instruction might, he conceived, be extended to others than those resident in the colleges. The amount of restriction on the admission to fellowships and to other honours and emoluments should be relaxed, for we neither did nor could earry out the literal wills of founders. He also thought that merit and industry ought to ensure reward. Part of the revenues of the colleges ought to be applied to the purposes of education.

As regarded Cambridge, the recommendations of the commission were in a similar spirit, but it stated that Cambridge was continually adapting itself to the necessities of the day, though it could not do all that was desired without the aid of Parliament. His lordship concluded a speech of two hours with an eloquent reference to the wonders of science which the present age had seen accomplished, and to the nobler moral and religious achievements which lay before it, and to which he implored the utmost attention of the House. Mr. Ewart expressed a general approbation of the views of Government, but thought that the country rotj.rl for educational purposes. Mr.

Hume could not see that Lord J. Russell was proposing to make any progress, and complained that he would not see. that the clergyman and the schoolmaster were distinct officials. Mr. Milner Gibson disbelieved that town councils would be found to vote funds for instruction various forms of religion.

And as he would never consent to deprive laymen oftheirjurisdiction over Church schools, he demanded what was to be done in reference to a minute on the subject passed during Loru Derby Administration Lord J. Russell said that the minute in question would be cancelled, but that an appeal by a clergyman oonmst an immoral schoolmaster would future he to the bishop, who would appoint an inspector. Mr. W. J.

Fox hoped that under discussion the pro- posed educational scheme would enlarge itself, and thereby become more worthy of its author and of the nation. Mr. E. Ball could not hut consider it as a subject for great gladness and joy on the part of the country that no less a sum that 500,000 was annually contributed in pence by the poor towards the education of their children. The hon.

member for Oldham was mistaken in supposing that the noble lord the member for London was in error in conveying the idea to the House that this sum was literally contributed in pence by the poor, for, generally speaking, the fact was as the noble lord had stated it, and not as the hon. member had stated it. The subject of the education of the poor was one which had closely engaged his attention for many years past; so much so and he did not see that he needed to blush for mentioning it in that house that for the last 30 years there had not been 30 Sabbaths on which he hod not been engaged in instructing the poor. (Hear, hear.) The system which was adopted at least in the neighbourhood wnere ne vesiueu, was ims when only one child came from a family, 2d. a-week was charged for it but when there were more than one child onTy Id.

was charged. In no case was the charge more than 2d. (Hear.) Consequently the statement of the noble lord was strictly true, that the vast sum which u. -fnrprl tn was nroduced entirely bvthe poor, II (in Uttil Itlll vv la in consequence of the interest they took in the welfare a nf their children. (Hear.) He wished rhp hon mpmbers for Montrose and Man thnv talked of excluding religion from the schools If they meant that they would not permit the Bible to be introduced into we scnoois, could only say that he would do everything he could to oppose their views for he could not believe that any system of education could be considered a national benefit which excluded the Bible.

He had no desire to enforce sectarian religion upon auy one, but he must insist upon the reading of the word of God. (Hear, hear.) He wished to know also what the hon. member for Montrose meant when he said that he was opposed to the giving of religious instruction in the schools, hut that he would teach the children to control their passions and govern their conduct 5 He (Mr. Ball) appealed to the House to say whether there was any mode more efficient for controlling the passions and governing their conduct than instructing the children in the precepts and principles of the Bible (Hear, hear.) He would ask them also whether they could name any heathen nation that had ever known any moral people who had not drawn their morality from the word of God He hoped therefore that the Government would never give their assent, much less their authority and sanction, to any system of education which excluded the word of God. near.) Sir.

R. a. inglis compiainea that the subject of the Universities had been unexpectedly introduced, and begged to say that he decidedly differed from Lord J. Russell upon all the propositions he had advanced in reference to that subject. Lord J.

Manners said that when the right hon. gentleman the member for Manchester asked the noble lord whether the Government intended to cancel the minute of Council of the 12th of June last, he seemed to labour under the misapprehension that that minute had had the effect of placing the Church of England schools under the sole control of the clergymen of the parish and the noble lord, in answering the question, said nothing (9 remove that misapprehension, but, en tbe eon. of to in to a water and the moment when it reacnea we sounded in seven and a quarter fathoms, ihere was an interval of 20 minutes, and the water immediately ran out again with astonishing rapidity in a frightful wave, which carried away with it and destroyed everything. The vessel swung frightfully and rapidly 20 minutes more elapsed until the water reached its highest point, when we sounded in eight fathoms. The water having now risen higher, the wave was so much stronger and more temtile it reacnea to me root oi tne covered quay, under which a number of persons belonging to the prahus had sheltered themselves, but who were swept away by the wave and met their deaths a number of prahus, large and small, were tossed over the quay and destroyed; the quay and that of the residency house were washed away.

The fall of the water was now reckoned at 26 feet. Four times the water fell and rose in this frightful manner, always in the same direction and iu the same interval of time. At half-past 10 it began to abate, and for an hour more it took place at longer and longer WRECK OF THE DUKE OF SUTHERLAND STEAMER. The Aberdeen and London iron steamer the Duke of Sutherland was wrecked at the entrance of Aberdeen harbour on the evening of the 1st and 15, if not 20, persons have perished. The facts of this most distressing case are these The Duke of Sutherland left London on Wednesday evening with a valuable cargo of goods, and had four cabin and 21 steerage passengers.

When the steamer reached the bay on the afternoon of Friday it was found that there was a heavy sea running on the bar. and that the'fresh of the river Dee, which has its efflux at the entry of the harbour, was setting down very strong y. The pier, which is of granite and extends about half a mile into the sea, terminatingin a shoeing wmch rounds off in a ledge of boulder rocks, affords shelter from the north, but with the wind as il was on that day tends to increase the motion in the channel, and thus to run into the port was a most dannerous underkme. rhe harbour-master hoisted his flag at half tide, which was the signal that the steamer might come in, and as a sailing vessel of a low draught of water entered safely there was no fear for the Duke's crossing the bar. But just as the steamer crossed, the fresh took her on her larboard bow and threw her head northwards, so that for a time she was steaming right on to the end of the pier.

Capt. Howling, seeing the danger, ordered the engines to be backed, and this was done, but scarcely had the vessel got stern way when a heavy sea struck her on the quarter, and hoveher righton to the rocks by the breakwater of the pier. In ten minutes the water was three feet deep in the engine-room, aud all hope of saying the shin Twas abandoned. -The waves now made a clean brLch ovet 'her, and she lay broadside on, with her bow tCaptSntHowHng, to save the lives of his crew and passengers, ordered the life-boats to be lowered.

He also complained that the Government plan dill not propose to remedy the crying evil which had warped our great schools from their original purpose, and to the benefit of a different class from that for which they were designed. Mr. Wig ram deprecated the holding out any threat to the Universities of Government interference, in case thev should not comply with what was demanded of them. He vindicated the character of the University of Cambridge.

Mr. Blackett urged that the University of Durham stood in equal need of reform with the other Universities, and expressed his admiration of the language in which Lord J. Russell had snoken on this subject, contrasting it unfavourably with the speech the Chancellor the Exchequer had made when the commission was proposed. He objected to grant any delay, which the conduct of Oxford towards the commission had not merited. The Chancellor of the Excheouer, after replying the inquiries from Lord J.

Manners, said, in answer to Mr. Phinn, that the great schools would be included a bill to be introduced into the House of Lords for the regulation of charitable trusts. He proceeded to say that the speech of Lord J. Russell needed no elucidation from him; and that he should leave Mr. Blackett speculate upon any supposed contrast between it and any observations he himself might have made.

To the principles laid down by Lord J. Russell he adhered then as he always had done namely, that the object we ought to have in view was to render the Universities most available for the purposes for which they were instituted. But in further reply to Mr. Blackett, he insisted upon the desirability of preserving independent action to those bodies and urged that any threat held out to them would be most unwise, and obstructive to the requisite reform. Mr.

A. Pellatt bore a testimony to the exertions which the teachers of Sunday Schools had made iu the cause of education, for the last seventy years. Leave was then given to bring in the bill. The report on the Canada Clergy Reserves Bill was agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time on Monday next. The Pilotage Bill was, after consioerable discussion, rcarl a second time.

The Oaths in Chancery Bill was read a third time and passed. The Merchant Shipping Bill was read a second time. Tuesday, April 5. Mr. W.

Patten, in announcing that he found himself inadequate to the proper discharge of the duties of Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, expressed his grateful sense of the confidence which had been reposed in him by the house. Lord J. Russell was sure that the house would have heard this announcement with very great regret, and would, from the judgment and temper which had been displayed by Mr. Patten, lament the loss of his services. Mr.

Disraeli, on the part of every member of the late Government, bore testimony to the able and efficient manner in which Mr. Patten had discharged the duties of chairman, Mr. W. Williams asked the first Lord of the Admiralty whether there was any truth in a statement that a great number of desertions had taken place from Her Majesty's ships on the home station in consequence of strong feeling excited among the seamen by the punishment of a petty officer on board one of the Queen steamers Sir J. Graham said that, since January, a considerable number of desertions had taken place from the squadron on the home station, which were attributed to the unusual high rate of pay in the merchant service, mid tt the endeavours made to induce the men in tue Royal Navy to accept this high pay and desert.

No perceptible increase of desertions had taken place since the case of flogging of a netty officer in the fleet referred to by Mr. Williams, which was in punishment of very gross insubordination on the part of that petty officer. Mr. J. B.

Smith wished to know the intentions of the Government with regard to the system of decimal coinage, and whether it was meant to issue the new copper coinage on the decimal basis The Chancellor of the Exchequer said, the subject of a decimal coinage being one of greatdelicacy and importance, it was the intention of the Government to concur the proposal 10 reier it iu a ouia.eii.oe. Mr. Ladouchere, Chairman of the Hull Election Committee, after reading the report of that committee, and reminding the house of the circumstances which had transpired during the inquiry, moved an address to Her Mtjesty to appoint a commission of inquiry into the allejed corrupt practices in that borough. The motion was agreed to. RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

Mr. B. Brown moved a resolution that, with reference to ihe great increase in the number of railway accidents, it is the duty of the Government to propose more effectual measures than now exist for securing the safety of travellers on railways. After anticipating and plying to objections, he referred to the comparative rarity of railway accidents in Scotland, where the law in regard to such accidents stood upon a different footing and observed that what was wanted in England was a public prosecutor, as in Scotland, as well as a tribunal of reference. He enlarged upon the deficiency on the the lines of necessary precautions to prevent accidents, and upon the want of will or power on the art cf the Board of Trade to enforce the recommendations and suggestions of its own officers, in spite of the verdicts of inquests, and insisted that it was quite time for the House to interfere, and, if required, to arm the Board of Trade with further powers.

Mr. Cardwell acknowledged the extreme importance of this subiect but the late Government, he observed, good judgment, had determined that a most searching inquiry should be made, and the committee had taken the utmost pains to sift the whole question as to the management of railways. Persons most competent to give an opinion had been examined very comprehensive evidence respecting railway accidents had been already laid upon the table of the House; particular testimony had been taken in respect to communication between guards and drivers; and inquiries had been instituted as to the regulations of foreign railways. Under these circumstances, he thought it desirable that the House, having appointed a committee, should wait for its report before it took any step. He recommended Mr.

brown not to press an aosiraci. raaiunun, u. should feel it to be his duty to move the previous ques- tl0Mr. James MacGregor contended that the railway directors had used every exertion, in fulfilment of the trust reposed in them, to prevent accidents. Mr.

D. Waddington defended the railway boards against the strictures of Mr. Brown, declaring that he knew no instance in which a suggestion from the Board of trade had not been adopted by railway directors as a law. He would leave the matter in the hands of the Government. mv T.n Anrooatmi finyprnment interference with railways, and insisted that, considering the multiplicity of trains and the high rate of speed on English railways, the casualties were remarkably few.

Mr Oliveira moved a resolution, that the House will resolve itself into a committee to consider the import duties upon wine, with a view to i Facing them to a duty of Is. per gallon-a measure which, he heheved, would be not only beneficial to the community, but productive of a large amount of revenue. The consumption of wine, he showed, had not kept pace with that of other articles, owing to the prohibitory character of the duty, the reduction ot wmcn was MruuK throughout the country and he denied that there wou he anv difficulty in extending the growth of wines adapted to "the English taste. He admitted that there were financial and other difficulties in the way of the measure but he suggested remedies, and he asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to view the question as one of free trade. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said that, having fixed an early day for declaring the intentions ot tbe Government with respect to our finances, it would be a positive departure from his duty if he were now to malse a partial statement.

He admitted that it would be most desirable, if it were possible, to make a change in the duties upon wine; but the difficulties were pre eminent. It would be absurd to make a trifling reduction and those who exuected that a lame reduction would be re productive, by stimulating consumption, must assume that, instead of 6,000,000 gallons of wine, the country would consume 36,000,000 gallons and he did not think that the public taste could be revolutionized or modified in a day. The change proposed would involve a very large immediate sacrifice of revenue, and other articles of consumption preferred claims lor relief equally strong. He must reserve, however, the expression of the views of Government upon the subject until the 18th when he should make his financial statement. Mr.

Oliveira withdrew the resolution. Mr. W. Brown moved that a new writ be issued for a member for Lancaster, in the room of the unseated member. Mr.

Thornely moved to delay the writ for a month. The Chancellor of the Exchequer observed that it was hightly inconvenient to take different courses in these cases, with which the House should deal accord- iue to something liKe a fixed rule. 1 he issue of the writ would not preclude inquiry into the corrupt practices in thp hnroueh. In the cases of Blackburn and Bridg north, the House had adopted as a rule that no writ in such a case snuuiu issue witnout a certain notice, anci an interval of seven days, and if no party came forward to allege general corruption, that the writ should then issue. There was no such allegation in this instance, and it was not equitable or just, on bare suspicion, to deprive a constituency of a constitutional privilege.

Mr. Drummond agreed with Mr. Gladstone that these cases ought to be looked at on some general.system. Lord Stanley believe that corruption had prevailed at Lancaster but it was absolutely necessary to act unon some definite rule, and the House had laid down this role, net to refuse a write unless the committee re in in by M.tltio. on vwv gjj; fm'-'ls.

GREAT EARTHQUAKE IN THE INDIAN ARCHIPELAGO. The Singapore Free Press of the 4th of February last quotes from the Java Bode the following account of a terrible commotion of nature, which commenced on the 16th, or probably the 26th, of November, and lasted until the 22nd of December last On the 16th of November, about 20 minutes to 8 o'clock in the morning, a heavy vertical oscillation of the ground was felt at Banda Neira, which soon changed into a rapidly increasing undulation from the N.E. to the S.E., which lasted for more than five minutes. Every one left his house to remain standing was impossible people were obliged to take a firm hold of something, or throw themselves on the ground. In the morning a slight shower of rain fell, but otherwise the weather was not unfavourable.

"At the first shock nearly all the houses were thrown down or very much shattered. The Government officers' houses in the encampment, and the warehouses suffered the greatest injury the Chinese quarter was a heap of ruins the native village on the Zonnegat was laid waste. The Papenberg fell partly in, and two bamboo houses upon it disappeared, and on Great Banda the houses of the park-keepers, their outhouses, and smoking-houses for the nutmegs, underwent the same fate everything there was also thrown down, or greatly injured; nothing is visible ol -the village Lonthoir but a heap of ruins. Saru was terribly shattered, while detached pieces of rock lay everywhere scattered around. There were no deaths, however, to lament, and only some persons were sligntiy bruised or wounded.

But the misfortune did not stop here. About eigne o'clock a disturbance of the sea tzee-bevmgj occurred, which rilled every heart with fear and dismay, and caused every one to fly to the highest ground. In quick; sue cession the bay filled and emptied, and at times ap-peared to be only a little river. a-. i n.mnn.

These huge waves formed the Zon- the channel of Lonthoir, and ran so high that they beat over Fort Nassau, and reached the foot 52 hin on which Fort Belgica is built, carrying everything with them in their reflux, but at the same time leaving behind a quantity of fishes. The prahus marl were driven among and aeainst each other. and carried to and from the shore. They foundered, or drove in the Zonnegat, where they struck on the shore only a few could save themselves by flight.

These prahus belonged to the Saru and Key Islands and Ceram, and apart ol their crews, nnarag tnemseives on shore, sought shelter in one of the sheds on the old pier, but they could not withstand the force of the rollers, and in a moment they were torn out of their place of shelter and driven seawards, there miserably to perish. It is estimated that 60 men lost their lives in this way. Miserable was the condition of the inhabitants, who saw the waves, 20 feet high, rolling so irresistibly towards them threatening to engulf them tbe ground continually rocking under their feet; the atmosphere echoing with loud reports like cannon shots, niiinb their hearts with fear; and this ail-destructive, indescribable state of things, lasted not merely tor minutes an nour a oay out iur -on the these frightful natural phenomena only ceased on 22nd of December, while all that time scarcely an 1 rar passed that the grounddid not heave andnow in the neaviesi manner, auu jn the hearts that distrust and fear remained im prm tea ofthe inhabitants, who, part ly huts, looked out habitations, sheltmngin neyer forward to the gloomiest a ve received a Ma tn rppnvpr the OlOW 1 a 5po auanes uu.aiMi,autv.

An earth and sea quake had also occurred there an the 26th of November, and caused great da-jaagc. The heavy rollers of the sea had swept away the houses on the beach, and thrown more than 100 prahus on shore, of which a number had been destroyer, while many persons fell victims to this terrible commotion of nature.

From Amboyna we also iearn that on the morning of the 26th of November, about half-past 8, the earthquake was felt in a direction from to W. S.W. with a duration of about five minutes. This was preceded on the 10th by some slight shocks. The disturbance of the sea also took place, but not to such a destructive and heavy extent as at Banda, although on the same day Very little damage wa3 caused.

The accounts from the islands near Amboyna are not so unfavourable. Nearly all experienced the extraordinary commotion both ot sea and land.

Ktmt.m Bwts art aid lithe Lam- THE OVERLAND MAIL. The extraordinary express, in anticipation of the Overland Mail, was received on Saturday.

Ihe dates are Bombay, 1st March Calcutta, 19th Feb. and Hong-Kong, China, 11th Feb. Bombay' March news from Burmah is up to the 14th Feb. By the last mail, intelligence of an expedition of boats under Captain Loch, of the Winchester, being about to proceed after a notorious freebooter and his followers, was despatched to England. By this opportunity it becomes our melancholy duty to have to record the unfortunate termination of this affair.

It would appear that after disembarking at Donnabew, the force under Captain Loch was entrapped into a heavv jungle. Here the enemy made a determined stand, and being under cover, whilst troops were exposed, they, by their heavy fire, obliged the after to withdraw to their boats. Amongst those killed were the gallant, leader, George Grenville Loch (son ot Mr. James Loch, who sat many years for the Wick boroughs in Scotland) Lieutenant Kennedy, of the Royal Navy, belonging to her Majesty's ship Fox and Captain ni fi7tT Rphp-bI Native Infontry. The erena- dier company of the latter regiment behaved most gallantly, covering the retreat of the whole force.

The remains of Captain Loch were brought down to Rangoon i. onrl wprp interred with military no- nours on the morning of the 8th of February. His body was laid by the side of poor young Dorin, of the 18th Royal Irish, on the upper terrace of the Dagon pagoda. Three of our guns were left behind tne nanus 01 ine enemy. It-is stated in private letters from Burmah that the guide of poor Captain Loch's force had played us false.

The following extract of a letter to the Bombay Times gives a full account of this most unfortunate Captain Loch, R.N. with a force of one hundred and eighty seamen and marines of her Majesty ships Fox, Winchester, and Sphinx, together with 350 of the 67th Bengal Native Infantry, under Major Mmchin, attacked Mea Toon on the 3rd February, at a place 15 miles from Donnabew. They were met at one of the outworks of the stronghold, thrown up on the bank ot a steec nullah, by the Dacoits, repulsed and driven back with a loss of two guns, their baggage, two officers and fifteen men killed and left onthefield, end about seventy men wounded, who were orougnt, of the retreat they were hard 4" had much difficulty bringing off the wounaeo. rt Tnrh was among the wounded, and has since dfpri rJseverTfthers who were brought off; stme ate wounded or four places. The Dacoite were concealed in the trees and thick jungle, and scarcely one was seen.

It has thrown quite a gloom over the place." An expedition, naval and military, the-former under the command of Captain Loch, C.B., the latter under Major Minchin, 67th Bengal Native Infantry, was formed for the purpose of attacking Meer Toon, the celebrated bandit chief, who had ensconced himself in a stronghold some fifteen miles inland, from Donabew." r.ni r.i5mrlp was 140 stron2. composed of the men and boats of her Majesty's ship Winchester, Fox, and Sphinx. The military force consisted of the sepoys of Vip (V7H, Ranmil Native Infantry, about 350 strong. About the they arrived at Donabew on the 3rd, after a fatiguing march, the guides told Captain Loch they were in wont oi an ouiposv ui me enemy. At this time the jungle was very dense, and the path so narrow, that two men could not walk abreast scarcely had the guides done speaking, when a tremendous fire was opened on them, Lieutenant Kennedy, 1st of the Fox, was shot dead, as also several, men.

apuuu jjutu then waved his sword and shouted to the men to follow him, when down he fell, shot dead, the ball drove his watch into his intestines. I should never finish writing of the disasters thatbefel, if I were to enumerate each and every particular, sufficient to say that the force was driven back with the following loss guns (spiked) Captain Loch killed, Lieutenant Kennedy killed (left on the field).
