MAY 30, 1862. THE FREEMAN'S SPOETING INTELMGBKCE. HOUSE OF LORDS YESTERDAY. (BY MAGNETIC TELEG1UPH.) Yesterday being Ascension Thursday, their Lordships, as usual, did not meet. well in Ireland.

-As, however, the limiting of tha timer might in some countiea givo rife to the necessity for increased facilities for voting, ho thought it very desirable: that the bill should retain its present provisions as to additional polling places. The bill was then read a second time, and ortlerod to bo committed on Tuesday next. ELECTIONS (iBKLlVND) HILL, Mr. Ellis thon moved the second reading of this bill, tha PARLIAMENTARY.

Zealand, under the auspices of tho Nonconformist Emigration Society, took their departure from the East India Dock, Ulackwall. An immense concourse assembled to witness their departure, greater thau ever before seen in these docks. Both ships were gaily dressed, and had bands on board playing "You'll remember me," and similar airs. It was altogether a moat exciting scene.

THE STEAM YACHT FOR KINGSTOWN. We have seen the model of the Kingstown, which is building for the abovo company by tho Messrs. Win-gate, on tho Clyde. It was exhibiting at Kingstown on yesterday. The dimensions, of this vessel have beeu repeatedly given, and all we can eay ia that if the craft herself is as well proportioned as tho motlol, she will be perfectly seaworthy and a fast sailer.

From the peculiarity of her construction, having ox-tended spousons, which act as flanges, giving her complete buoyancy iu the water, no matter what tho top weight may be, safety may bo depondod on, and Bho ought Jto brave any sea between the two points, she is to connect by water. THE FREEMARANCHISE. The following letter has been addressed to tho Lord Mayor and the inombors of tho Municipal Council London, May 28, 18G2. My Lord and GkstlumisS Referring to my notice of motion for the appointment of a committee to inquire and report on the freeman franchise, I beg leave to state that it is ray intention to move that resolution at the monthly meeting of the corporation, to be held on Monday next, the 2nd proximo. Having, at a recent meeting of the corporation, stated my intention to have this question discussed at a special meeting, I feel it my duty to give this public notice, in order that on a question of such importance every member of the Municipal Council who feels any interest in the question may attend.

I have the honour to remain, my Lord and Gentlemen, your obediout servant, John Rkvnolds. SERIOUS FIRE IN YOUGHAL. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) Youghal, May 28, 1862. A few nights ago the out offices on a farm belonging to John Hall, at Ightermurragh, which contained a thieshing and winnowing machine and a great quantity of flax was sat on fire and totally consumed, and the loss is estimated at about (J00. It is believed here that this has been the work of an incendiary.

DISTRESS IN LA REG A WAY. The Rev. Father Commins begs respectfully to bring under the notice of the public the great distress in the parish of Claiegalway. There are about 300 families situated in various parts of the parish in tho greatest destitution. A helping hand held out to those poor people now will enable them to tide over the time between this and coming of the new crops.

If a benevolent public do not come to their aid, many of them must suffer tbe severest privations, perhaps fall victims to-the great calamity which has overtaken them. Tho incessant rain and the consequent failure of the crops have a terrible effect in this locality. Iu one small village the inundation of the Coirib destroyed oats potatoes, to the value of 400. A relief committee has been formed, to the funds of which your donation is earnestly requested. DEATH FROM DESTITUTION.

The adjourned inquest touching the death of Mary Connell was resumed on Saturday evening last, at Edward Clooiie's, Eyre-stieet. Sally Lynsky, one of the witnesses, deposed that doceased asked her shortly before her death for a drink of water, and that she gave htr a portion of what she had of victuals three halfpence worth of bread and one farthing's worth of coffee this was all deceased partook of the night before she died; deceased lived by begging, and appeared old and inhrm after the deceased took tho provisions given her by Lynskey she was not out of the house, neither did 6he eat anything up to Thursday morning last, hen she died. Dr. Considine, who had made arrest mortem examination of the body, deposed I have made mortem examination of the body of the deceased Mary Connell tho stomach contains only about a naggin of fluid, resembling weak coffee or tea, but not a particle of solid food. Tho alimentary canal was empty of either solid or fluid aliment the body did not appear emaciated for a person of her time of life, and considering the healthy state of the lungs, heart, I 'am of opinion that she died from destitution.

The jury, without retiring, came to the conclusion that the deceased, Mary Connell, died on Thursday, of want and destitution." Uuluiny Vindicator.

The annual match between the Gentlemen and the Players was played on Wednesday and Thursday on the Pavilion ground, Phcenlx'park, when, we believe, for the first time the Players wore successful, tlioir victory being achieved in one Innings, with 35 runs iu hand. We may, however, stato that tho Gentlemen wore somewhat weak, some of their, best men having gone to London to play in the Murylcbone match, and also, that they played one man short In each Innings, The Players won the toss nnd went in first, Agar and Webster being their representatives the former was caught after scoring 5 In a single), and a splendid leg hit for 4 and tho latter played a long nnd atoady innings for 34, realised In two 3's, nine 2's, and singles, when he was well caught by Mr. Farsons. Hayes, tho other English professional, was unfortunate, being caught on ills first ball by the long stop, The baiting of Doyle was a general theme of admiration, not being disposed of until he had added 03 to the score, mado In Ills good old style, prlncl-pslly to leg It consisted of a 4, four 3's, cloven 2's, and singles rite Players' wickets fell one for 11 1 two 13, throo 123. fair 1.14, flvelSO, six, scven.cm! eight 137, all being out for, 147.

Mr.

Darby Grifliths put a series of questions to the r.oble lord at tho head of tho government with respect to relations of Persia and Afghanistan. Lord Palmerston said that the relations of the Shah Persia and tho Kuler of Herat wore settled by the treaty of March, IS57. After tho Persian war, by that treaty tho Shall of Persia engaged to abstain from any claim of light of sovereignty over Herat. Hoalso undertook by that treaty, to acknowledge tho independence of Herat, and not to interfere in any way in the affairs of Afghanistan. It was further agreed that, if any dispute arose between the Shah of Persia and the states ol Affghanistau, he should seek the good offices of the British government to obtain a settlement of it On the other hand, the British intended to use its own good cilices with tho state of Alt'ghanistan to prevent them from giving any otl'ence to tho Shah of Persia, and that, if any difference' arose between them, the British government should endeavour to settle the question in a niannci that would be just and satisfactory to the Shah of Persia.

With respect to the present state of affairs the ruler of Hwat had marched upon and taken Purrah, which place had for some time been in dispute between Herat and Candahar. He believed that it originally belonged to Herat, aud it was now retaken by it from Candahar. These transactions had taken place between bo iMntoo of Afghanistan themselves, and he had no reason to believe that tho Persian troops had in any v.ay boan. engaged in it. Lord Palmerston said, ia reply to a further question, that if the Shah of Persia invaded Herat, it would be for the British govsrnment to consider what stops must be taken.

HtON-CASED SHirs. Mr. Lindsay asked the First Lord of the Treasury, if 1 had any objection to lay on the table a return of the number of iron-cased ships built or building for her Majesty's navy, and a copy of the list, said to bo in tho possession of her Majesty's government, of the thirty-six iron-cased ships stid to be built or building for the French navy, with the state of progress and tonnage of each, distinguishing sea going ships from floating batteries Lord Palmerston had no objection to lay on tho table the number of iron-cased ships built or building by the British government. With regard to the iron-cased shjpsia the French service, there was no objection to give the return from the French official documents, as far as possible, together with the names and places where they were being built, or had been launched. But itli respect to the particulars state and progress, he vas not sure that more details could be given than the time at which these vessels now building were expected to be launched.

Mr. Lindsay had understood tb.it the French government had given to Lord Cowley a list of all the iron-eased ships 'building or built in the French dockyards, rr.il had requested that the naval attache of ttie Eng-liih embassy in Purls would visit them, in order to verify it, for it was the desire of the French government that these informations should be laid before tha English public. Lord Palmerston was not aware of an official list having been furnished by the French government. Lord R. Grosvenor asked what steps the Admiralty proposed to take fur securing a supply of iron of the be.4 quality for the purposes of thenavy Lord C.

Paget said the admiral had, after consulting the best authorities, prepared a very minute and detailed form of contract, and thero would be no difficulty ia adapting it to any future requirements. THE NAT ON'AI. HOARD Of EDUCATION. Mr. Wtiitesido asked whether any rule had been framed by the N-itional Board of Education in Ireland permitting tha use of prayer in the opening of the sccocls, or the posting up of the Ten Commandments.

tsir li. Peel was understood to say that prayers were sjr.ctior.ed before the school was opened, and that the Commandments might be hung up during the time. JiNGt-ASD AND AJIKItlllA.

The bill origi-rilly fixed five years, but the Konian Catholic party ce-iicd tu have twelve years. After several divisions a am promise, fixing the age at eight, was agreed to. On clause 10, which relates to the education of the39 children, another warm discussion arose whether they should be educated in the religion of the state, or that of the party who last had charge of them. The former view was strongly urged Sir E.

The Liverpool correspondent who occasionally addresses the Times has anether communication to-day referring to the retreat of the Confederates.

Yesterday a deputation of members of parliament and of geotlbnton connected with the salmon fisheries of Ireland waited upon Sir Kobert Peel at his rosidonce in Whitehall 'Gardens, for the purpose of directing his attontion to 'the present unsatisfactory state of the law in reference to'the-above subject. The deputation included the following noblemen and gentlemen: Lord Donorailo, Sir Somervillc, Dart, MP; Sft'O-Fors-ter, Bart, UP; General Upton, MP; Mr Frauds MP; MrJAJSlnke, MF; Er Brady, MP) Hr Orbgorjr, MP; Mr Lefroy, 11 Mr Leader, il Mr Connolly, Afr Ashford, proprietor of the salmon weirs at Galway Mr Joseph ltohinaon, managor of Mr Malcomson's Welr at Limerick Mr O'Shea, solicitor, of Limerick dtc.

In Ihe conversation which ensued the speakers gOrte-rally expressed themselves favourable to the abolitrjrf of stake and bag net, and submitted tlntt the bill by Mr. M'Mahon, tho member for might with certain modifications be-converted intoeK" excellent measure. Mr. Blake and other members of the deputation mot the arguments of those who contend that the system of fixed engines for taking, fish has not proved injurious to the inland fisheries, because the license doty has largely increased, This increase, it was argued, proved nothing beyond tho fact that the fisheries of Ireland, although but partially developed, were capable, under judicious management, of vast increase, thereby affording not only nutritious food to the people, but remunerative employment toa large number of persons. The Limerick salmon district was especially referred to, and it was stated that the amount paid to- tbe Limerick Board of Conservanoy, during the last eleven years, was as follows: 1851, Ga4l Ss; 1852, 662; 1853,.

75; 1854, 788 10s; 1855,. 8W 1856, 9567 Cs 8d'; 1867, 1858, 8d; 1359, 10s; 1860, 1,162 3s id 6s 8d, while the revenue for the current year was estimated at As a proof of what tha fisheries niigbt become by judicious management Mr. Ashford stated that he bought the weirs at Galway for 5,000 that for some years thoy yielded but 250Z- a year, but that they were new worth 3,000 a year. It was also stated that during the last few years- the value of the salmon fisheries in the upper waters of the Shannon had greatly increased. The great Lax Weir at Limerick extended completely across the river.

In 1834 the tenant was- evicted for nonpayment of rent, and a new letting by lease on tbe principle of- public competition made to another at the highest rent then obtainable, 300 a year. Since then the licensed duties increased the liabilities of the tenant 0 a year more. Yet about five years ago Mr. Mal-conison, ot Waterford, purchased this terminable lease of about seventy years unexpired; for He did so with the knowledge that the value of the fisherios was increasing. It was also urged as a roason for prompt inteiferer.ee by parliament, that if the stake and bag-nets were not speedily abolished, tbe proprietors of them would acquire a parliamentary title to- their use, and might expect compensation a claim which, of course, would materially add to the difficulties attending a change in the law, no matter bow desirable or satisfactory, Sir Bobert Peel, having listened to the representations of tho deputation, said that the subject was one of undoubted importance in a national as well as social point of view, and that he had received a great number of petitions and letters upon the subject requesting hitn to use his influence with the government to have the bill of Mr.

M'Mahon passed into law. He was aware that objections bad been made to the bill that ifr dealt not only with those inland iisheries, in respect of which tho deputation were mainly interested, but also with the deep tea fisheries. He owned, howevor, Hint ho did not think a comprehensive view of tho subject could bo taken in a bill of less dimensions than those of the measure which Mr. M'Mihon had laid upon the table. He assured the deputation that the gowriimeut considered the subject to be one of vast importance, and that as tho great majority of the Irish members aud of tho fishery owners themselves were in favour of improved legislation, they were prepared to assent to.

the principle of Mr. fiffllahons Liill, on the understanding that it should be refeired to a select committee. The subject was not ono of a party nature, and if it were referred to a select committee, impartially chosen from honourable members at both sides of the bouse, he saw no- reason why some progress should not be made with the inquiry in the course of the present session, so that oarly next session toiiio practical result might be arrived at. Mr. lllake inquired whether the right hou.

baronet would give a pledge to take the subject up as a government measure. Sir Kobert I'eel said bs could not give any such pledge at present, as there were so many other bills which tha government were anxious to press forward. He thought the deputation might be satisfied with the assurance which he had already given. Tbe deputation, having thanked the right honourablo baronet, then retired.

L'tkkgut, Susdav. The fearful calamity which haa recently occurred to Enschede can now be estimated at its real importance. Sevcntcen-twentieths of the towa have become a mass of ruins, and about 4,000 persons are homeless and penniless. A great portion of the property destroyed was uninsured, but the machinery employed in the manufactories was chiefly insured in English offices. Tho distress of tho burned-out operatives is very great, but liberal subscriptions of money and contributions of clothing are being sent in.

On Saturday morning information was received by one of tbe Middleeex coroners of the deaths of a mother and child, from a family of four, who, it is alleged, have died through eating cheese containing somo -poisonous tigent. The information given is that thenamo of the family is Sutton, of 12, Cow-cross, and that, on Thursday last, the mothor sent for a quarter of a pound cf cheese betwesa herself and three children, and shortly after they had partaken, of their meal tbe whole of them were seizod with, violent vomiting and internal excruciating ptvin, which, continued unlil they weto in a complete state of.

Elections for counties in that country now lasted two days, and the bill proposed that for tho future tho time should bo limited to one day, thtta assimilating tho law in Ireland to that of England. The proposed limitation had roceived ample Irial in England, and it had been found to answer most B1-tiafactoriIy. In largo counties, in order to prevent tho inconvenience which might otherwise arise from the election lasting one day only, thero was a provision contained in 'ho bi" fDr tne establishing of additional poll-itiK-places.

fie bill contained a clause which would enable the ea.e machinery that is used in 'England with respect to the polling-places to be used in Irdaud. As the law now stood no barony ot baW barony be dividod, and thoro coald be- but one polling-place for an entire bajonyortelf-barony, no The house might not be aware of the fact that the bare-nies and balf-baronieB in Irelaad were very awkwardly divided, as Boms of them were nwly as large as counties, The provision contained in the bill With reforenca to the fiaing of additional polling places wa permissive. Some honourablo members were of opinion that tho eileot of the bill would be to increase the expense of contested elections (hear, hear). however, ho did nut think would bo the case. He had made inquiry upon the subject, and' had been given to understand that the reverse would bo fonnd to bo the rtsult.

There were, no doubt, certain expenses necessarily resulting from tho establishment of additional polling places, but, on the other hand, tbe charges for expensej'of travelling from one end of the cotmty to the other would be reduced. On the whole, thcreforethe expense would not in all probability be increased. One of the reasons which bnd induced him' to' bting forward the present measure was, that he believed' it would have tho' effect Of lessening the excitement which more or less prevailed during elections, as speedily as possible. He saw no reason why, if elections for counties in England could be held in one day, that elections in Ireland should not be held within tho same period. He, therefore, begged to move' tho second reading of the bill (hear, hear).

Mr, J. P. Hennessy observed that he was quite willing lo givo tho honourable member credit for the best possible intentions in introducing, and seeking to push forward the measure now before tho house, Ha could not, however, agree with tho honourable member for Kilkenny that it would not increase tho expense of a contested election. In fact, he believed, that it would double tbe expense in some instances. It might, in some coses, be admitted as desirable to increase the number of polling places, but it should be done after the manner provided by the reform bill of Lord John Kuasell, in which there was In express provision limiting the expense.

He fcnew something about the expense of a contested election in Ireland, having had something to say to one at which the legal expenses" amounted to nearly 1,000. The usual expenses of an election iu Ireland were invariably very heavy, and if, in future, there were to be additional polling places, it would, in his opinion have the effect of enormously increasing those expenses (hear, hear). With respect to the remaining provisions contained in' the bill' namely, that' tho timo for tho polling ahonld bo limited to one day instead of two, as at present, he did not think that the present was the time when the law should be assimilated between the two countries, no matter how desirable it might be iu principle. He held that opinion for this reason, that in England there was all ovor tho country, North, South, East, and West, a perfect network of railways. In England, therefore, one day only was amply sufficient for tho holding of an election, as a very few hours would bring tbe voters from any diitnnco to the polling place.

This however was not the case in Ireland, whore the railwaysystetn had yet to a great extant to be developed. He did not think therefore that the inposilion of the honourable gentleman was practical in Ireland. He (Mr. Hennessy) had tho honour to represent a county which was very peculiar in its geographical conformation, being exceedingly long and very narrow. The eJeclion for-that county lasted two days, according to tbe present law, and at the end of the first day the opinion of the electors would not been oxpro3sod.

Ha (Mr. Hennessy) had finally been placed at the head of the poll, although thore were four candidates, but this was not eiicctcd at the close of the first day's polling (hear, hear). As similar railway accommodation to that in England did not exist in Ireland, ho did not think that tho argument used in fovour of the present measure was well founded. Ho would thercfuro suggest to the Hight Honourable Baronet tbe Chief Secretary for Ireland uot to givo his support to this bit-by-bit reform bill (bear, bear Colonel lTrcnch said lie could not agree with tho hoti. and learned gentleman who had last addressed the house Ibat an election for an Irish county could not be fairly decided in one day.

On tho contrary, he thought that it could, and that tho passing of the present measure would be attended with this result, that thore would not be half tbe excitement that generally prevailed, and that the expenses of the candidates would also be lessened. He did not thick that the argument that the bill would be inoperative, owing to want of railways, applicable, as it was met by the provision which authorised the establishment of additional polling.places. That would save the expense of bringing up parties from a distance, nnd it would be only attended with the expense of au additional poll clerk or two, which would be comparatively insignificant. He trusted therefore that the house would not" object to tho second reading of tho bill (hear, bear Mr. Lefroy was very much disposed to support tho bill.

They had heard a great deal lately as to rioting, angry feeling and disturbance at elections in Ireland, and it appeared to him that reducing the number of days for the polling was well calculated to do away to a great extent with so vory undesirable a state of things. He thought that they should all be anxious for the assimilation of the law of England and Ireland, whenever such could be ollected (hoar, hear). He saw no difficulty in taking thi polling for counties in ono day, bearing in mind'tho arrangements which were in contemplation by the bill. Taking, therefore, into consideration the pecnliar circumstances connected with elections in Ireland, he would certainly vote for the-second reading of the bill (hear, hear). Mr.

Y. Scully said that as he represented one of tho largest, moat straggling, and most expensive constituency in Ireland, he desired to express his opinion on tho measure before the house. It involved two principles the ono the limitation of the time for polling, and tho other tho establishment cf additional polling places, With respect to the latter he did not think that it was at all necessary. He had looked over tho bill, but he failed to find any provision in it to reduce the nunibar of polling places in counties whero at present thero were too many. It was proposed, however, that the magistrates at quarter sessions should bo invested with tho power of petitioning tho Lord Lieutenant to tlx additional polling places.

Certainly, in tbe county of Cork, thore were enough already, as there were no fewer than 39. He bad had a contested election for that county in tho year 1857, and ho would have beon glad-to have got off for the 1,000. mentioned by tho honourablo member (Sir. Hennessy), in connoxion with an election there (Inuglitti). There were, rs ho said, 3i) polling places, and at every one of them he had a poll clerk, but not so inexpensive a poll clork as the lion, and gallant gentleman the nienibtr for Roscommon (Colonel French) bnd spoken of, for ho found that each of the polling places involved the employment of a professional: gen-tlcniun.

It was true that any human being with ordinary intelligence could have acted as a poll clork, but he lound that the professional gentlemen thrust them-selvej into these places (laughter). They had done so in spite of him (laughter) and il ho had not employed' tbum they would havo been turned into his personal enemies (hear, He did all he could on that occa-ruion not lo employ them at all, or, at least, only three or four of ttism, but he found when tho election was over that greatly against hie wish more than 40 local attornies had been employed, and thoy got as much in tho way of fees as they could extract from him. Until lie had settled with them all ho folt in tha same position that Alia Baba did before the oil was uouted into tho jar (laughter), With respect to thoother part of tbe bill, lie hud no wish that elections should continue to any unnecessary length. Ho did not wish tbem to last a duy, nor ono hour, if possible (laughter). He hoped tha bill would be modilied with respect to additional polling places, and that if that provision wa3 returned, there would be a clause added whereby the number could, if necessary, be reduced.

He thought that the application for additional polling places should be mado by tho sitting members, and that thoy ahould ba likewise authorised lo apply to have the number lessened, Mr. George obsorved that ho could not see any objec tion to the shortening of tho time for polling from two days to one, as proposed by the bill, and so mr assimr lating the law in the two countries (hoar). He bolieved that in many counties It would not be necessary to have additional polling places, and if it became necessary, there was at present machinery by which they could bo established. He thought that no change ahould be made without the consent of the candidates however, that was a matter which, could be fully considered whea tho bill was in committee (hear, hear). Tt appeared to.

him to be inadvisable to hamper tho bill with any provision ns to.polling places, if it wore found on inquiry, as he belioved'it would be, that tho law as it noir slood, provided for them. If the bill wore passed la U. present shape, he thought that in every caso the, siunbar of nrilllnc places would be increased, whereas, it certainly was not necessary that such should be the case in somo counties.
