Wiiliam Ellis, ticket collector at Pontypridd station, said that he was on duty on March the 1st, when the defendant ielivered up a ticket from M eithyr to 'l'roedyrniw, and declined to pay the excess. Wituess took him to the office to see Mr Price, the staiionmaster.—Mr Morgan Price, staiionmaster at Pontypridd, said the last witness brought the defendant to him, showed the ticket and stated the circumstances.

I IM PE RT AL PAlUJ AMENTJ HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WKDHBRT)AT. The House WHS occupied during tl«« wh<>l« Hitting, with the further dH<-u-«ion 011 Mr. McCarthy's amendment to the ddres*. TheO'Donoghue declared that tllronghout the debate he had not heard trom the Id.h party a single practi- cal siiKpeetinn for the relief "f As to out- door relief, the whole produce of the land in the distres-ed districts would be inadequate to meet the demand, and though Ulli. -II rating w.,old make the pressure lea. the re-ult would be equally demoralising, and reduce the agricultural population to pauperism. Again, the effects of public werks must be of a transient charac- ter, while the reclamation of wabte lands would seive only t'> pei petuate the worst class of cottiers in the world. Want of employment wa.. the true causa of Iri^h distre-s for that end^rtuion was the rt-al cure, and—notwithstanding what might he paid on the other side—there were multitudes of people who would bless the Government that helped them tu leavs Ireland. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, speaking of him- self, said he would not shrink frnm a strong niea-ure for promoting emigration if he saw that it would have any permanent effect on the prevailing distress, but the great difficulty was, and always had been, how to JOolk at the present without weighing what ought to be d ne to prevent a recurrence of distress in the future. There was nothing the Governn ent wi u d desire more than t, pliimli to the bottom the causes of distr ess and take measures for its relief; and at this moment the Irish Executive were doing their utmost to get at the facts of the case for there bad been so much dnubt as to the real facts that it wa* extremely difficult to indicate what ought to he done. The ri^ht hon. gentleman then addressing tbe Irish party, expressed a hop" that they would do their utmost to restore publie • ience in Ireland, and in that way encourage Eng japitalists to em- bark in commercial and industrial enterprises in that Country. The discussion was continued until a quarter to 6, when it was once more adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS.—THURSDAY. 'The Lords sat only for a quarter-ot-an-hour, and no business was transacted. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THtmsDAT. Writa for new elections having been ordered, Lord E. F''z nauricd informed Mr. Labouchere that the Egyptian Government alhowed jMO a month to ▲rabi and his fellow-prisoners in Ceylon, an amount that would be increased if it were found necessary. The Chancellor of the Exchequer informed Mr. Salt that he did not propose to make his financial statement before Easter. Replying to Sir George Campbell,-the right hon. gentleman "tated that the contribution of India to the war in Egypt would be £ 600,000, out of a total of four millions and a half. END OF THE DEBATE ON THE ADDRESS. The debate on the Address in reply to her Majesty's apeech was resumed by Sir J. McKennS.and continued S several members of the Irish party, amongst others r. Parnell,who devoted a considerable portion of his speech to the subject of emigration. In that he had no confidence as a means of effectively ameliorating distress; and he insisted that m Government who could only propose the es. patriation of the people was not worthy the name of a Government. He preferred migration as there was abundance of improvable land, not abso- lutely waste, but capable of reclamation, and which might be advantageously purchased by the State, upon which many of the poor people might be put, and for which they coltld afford to pay a better rent than it now yielded. Further, he main- tained that there was no way in which public money could be spent with greater advantage than by some well-considered schem4, carried out by practical men, for advancing money to tenantofor the improvement of their holdings. Mr. Plunket approved of the determination of the Government not to allow outdoor relief, but to enforce the workhouse test. On a division, Mr. McCarthy's amendment was re- {ected by 163 to 32. Subsequently Mr. Ash mead Bart- ett, amid constant interruptions from the Liberal benches, indulged in a series of remarks, dealing with Ireland, Fglpt, the Joint Control, the Commercial Treatv, the German Alliance, Mr.Courtney, Mr. Her. bert G adstone, Mr. Chamberlain, and Sir C. Dilke. When the hon. gentleman sat down the Address was agreed to without further interruption and the repoit brought up. Uu"n this Mr. Botirke rose and complained of the delay in the production of Lord Dufferin's report oa the condition of Ecypt. L 'rd E. Fitzmaurice explained that the despatch having been printed had, in accordance with the usual practice at the Foreign Office, been returned to Lord Dufferin for his revision. The report stage was then agreed to, and a debate, which has lasted for 11 days, came to an end. RESIGNATION or JIB. fLAYfAIB. Mr. Playfair then announced, in a few graceful wortb, hilt resignation of the Chairmanship of Committees. The rh;ht hon. gentleman was loudly cheered from both aides of the H:,u,e. Lord Hart- ingt 'ti and (in the absence of Sir Stafford N >rthcote) Mr. Sclater-Booth bore testimony to the regret felt by the House at the retirement of Mr. Playfair, and its high sens? of the value of his services. The motion to set up Supply having been agreed to, the House adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS.-FBIDAT. After a brief conversation respecting the non-pro* dnctionofLord Dufferin's despatch on the IU. j oi of E^yptiau adiainistrati n, their Lordships ad- journed. HOUSE OF COMMONS—FBIDAT. On the motion to go into C .mrnittee of Supply, Mr. O'Shaughnesay moved a resolution setting forth the expediency of introducing into Ireland the prin- ciple of compulsory education, with such modifications as the social and religions conditions of the country require. This was accepted by Mr. Trevelyan on the part of the < rovernment, and, after come debate, was agreed to. The motion for Supply was then renewed, and Sir W. Lawson submitted a resolution expressive of the regret of the House that it should beealled on to place increased burdens upon the people in consequence of the late military operations in Egypt.. This was seconded by Sir G. Campbell. Lord K Fitzmaurice vindicated the Egvptian policy of the M nisters on the grounds so often expounded in Parliament in previous debates. On a divisionf/the motion was negatived by 94 to 24. Subsequently the House went into Committee of Supply, with Sir A. Otway in the chair, and pro- ce, ded to consider the grant in aid of the Eg) ptian expedition. A couple of votes were agreed to and progiess was reported, after which the House ad* jour tied. HOUSE OF LORD i.-MONDAT. The Br&i' hw .ite and Buttermere Railway Bill was opposed by Lord Mount Temple, on the ground that it would create au eyesore in one of the most beauti- ful parts of the Lake District, and wat not required by the inhabitants but on a division, tne bill was read a second time by 46 to 11. The Marqnia of Lansdowne moved for a Royal Com- mission to report as to the most effective means of gi ving to a larger portion of the people of li eland a permanent proprietary interest in the soil by pur- chase of their holdings. Lord Carlingford said, whilst the Government sympathised with the ol-oject of the noble marquis, they were not of opinion that a Royal Commission was likely to pro- mote it. Great progress was being tpade with the settlement of rents in Ireland, and by contrast with the last two or three years the situation was full of hops. Ultimately the motion was withdrawn, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS —Mo!mAT. There was a very crowded House to welcome the Prime Minister, who was ree. ived with l..ud and Kroiracted cheers, which were net confined to the Linisterial benches, but shared in by a conriderable number of the Opposition. A similar compliment waa paid to the Postmaster-General, iu which every section of the House heartily joined. Replying to Mr. Puleston, Lord Edmond Fitz- maurioe said a demand had b,pn made on the Ameri- can Government for thn extradition of Sheridan, but he was not at present able to make any further state- ment. Replying to Mr. Walter James Mr. Chamberlain said ttiat unless by the 2nd August the French com- pany promoting the Channel Tunnel were able to thow that an Ei giish company had obtained permis- sion to co-operate in establishing a submarine rail- way their concession would lapse. Sir John MoWhray brought up the name* of tho gentlemen appointed on the panel of Chairman of Grand Committees. Th-y were Mr. Goschen, Mr. O'Shaughnessy, Mr. Playfair, Sir Matthew Ridley, and Mr. Sclater-Booth. THK KOTPTIAN SSTIUATES. r Subsequently the House went into Committee of Supply on the supplementary estimates for the Egyptian Expedition, and in the course of the discus- sion Sir W. Barttelot addressed an inquiry to the Premier as to the situation of affairs in Egypt at the present moment. To this Mr. Glad- stone rep,ied that circumstances precluded him from giving anything but a general answer. In the first place, the Government had an important pur- pose to accomplish in Egypt, and next, when that was accomplished they would be seriously desirous to withdraw but as to defining the time of withdrawal it was impossible for him to do more than express a hope on the subject, because the pur* poee in view must neces>aiily reeulate the time. The objects for which we were in Egypt had been explained on maty occasions. We were t.iere foe tbi establishment of or dee and lUUlitjr, for to secure, as far fill depended upon el, the ful- filment. of international ei'g»gnnert^,and nndonbted y in a princii al <i»-gre« with reference to th's free.iom p"d feci.rity < f tiif preat parage by the Suez Canal. We Wfie tl ere, hi.wever, not as ulsters, but a. fiiends and adviser*, in the first instance, of the Egyptian Govm nient and with its-pert to any other rnrpt we f. r ubieh we weie th»Te, other nations ),oil intei-f,t, ant, rights iiiit tie definite and undeniable s& < ur own. Nor was he aw&te of any separate < r selfish interest on the part of this country, which was severed from the general interest of the world and civilised nations, which we ought to prose- cute in a selfifh or narrow spirit. He believed that reasonable progress had been made, and everything up to tbe preKent time had been done whick could, possibly be expected but the Government would not be accelerating progress were they to under- take to make communications of a pn mature cha- racter to the House. Mr. Ritchie regarded the statement of the Prime M'nieter as on the whole satisfactory but Sir W. I Lawson proclaimed his disappointment, and was at a loss to know what our troops were kept in Kcypt. for. These estimate" having been agreed to, a Supple. mentary Vote of JB14 000 for the Transvaal was alse taken after a discussion on the alleged ill-treatment of I he border tribes by the Boers. Several votis in the supplementary votes for the Civil Service and Revenue Departments having been agreed to, progress was reported, and the House ad- ourned. j =

THE FREETHINKER PROSECUTION. SCENE IN COURT. At the Old Bailey on Monday, before Mr. Jostles, Nortb,George William Foote, William James Ramsay( and Henry Arthur Kemp, editor, publisher, and printer of the Freethinker, were again indicted upon a charge of printing and publishing certain blas- phemous and impious libels in the Christmas num. ber of the paper in question. The case was tried on, Thursday, and resulted in a disagreement of the jury. Mr. Clner, who stated that hs was retained b»; Foote and Ramsay to argue points of law only, took exception to the indictment, which, the maintained, was bad, as it substantially charged the three defend* ants with the commission of one crime, whereas It was a distinct offence in the came of each. He cited the caN. of Boulton and Park, and hoped the court would call upon the prosecution to elect: against which defendant they would proceed. Sir H trdin<e Giffard proceeded to argue the point, but Mr. Justice North stopped him, and said that it seemed to him, and especially after what he had heard on the pre- vious trial, that this was a case in which the defen- daiit, might very properly be jointly charged. The evidence given in the case of Thnrsday was: repeated. It was proved that the three defendants bad been engaged in the business at Stonectitter-streek. where the Freethinker was published, and that Foote was the editor of the paper. The landlady of ths house at which Foote lodged and two postmea proved that tetter" had been sent to him addressed as editor of the Freethi ker. Evidence was aUo adduced to shew that after the publication of the Christmas number, special notice was givt n in i-utaequent issues that the period of Christ- mu haci been specially chosen for this publication, and that although it had had an enormous aate. owing to the great expf nse that had been incurred in producing it, the propri-tors were several pounds out of pocket by it. Foote having addre»std the jury in his own defenee the ju Igo ddivert d an elaborate summing up, and: the jury without leaving the box found all the prisoners guilty, the verdict being received with a atorm of hisses. When his lordship remarking that Foote had prostituted to the service of the devil the fine talents which God had given him passed upon him sentence of 12 months' imprison- ment, the uproar ttecatne so great that the court had to be cleared. Foote remarked, "My lord, I thank !rou. The sentence i» worthy of your creed." His ordship held that Rnmsay, the manaarer, was not deserving of so severe a sentence, and ordered him to be kept in prison for nine months. On behalf of Kemp it was urged that he was a young man, a salaried aenant of the other defendants, paid to sell and not to read the publications, and he was sentenced to three montt' imprisonment. Henry Cattell, newsagent, of Fleet-street, can. victed at the previous hearing of selling numbers of the Freethinker was brought up for judgment. On his behalf it was urg-d that he simply Bold the paper in the way of business without being acquainted with its nature, and his 1 rdsliip ordered him to enter into recognisances to come up for judgment when called opon.

PRESENTATION OF WAR MEDALS.

There was a full-dress parade of troops at Chatham garrison on Saturday, when Colonel Grorden, who is in temporary coin tuand, prevented war medale to those WHO had served throughout the Egyptian campaign, several hundred being quartered there. The gallant colonel complimented both officer. and men upon the heroism shewn by all ranks during one of,the sharpest, although short, campaigns in which British truope had been engaged. At Plymouth also tIOO officers and men have been presented with Egyptian war medals in presenoe of an enormous ooncourse of spectators, including the wheis of the forces in the garrison. General Pakenham extolled the noble services of the Highlanders, who have just returned from Egypt to Plymouth, and pinned medals on the breaate of some who had earned special distinction.

SAVAGE ASSAULT ON A HUNTSMAN. Charles Curtis, head whip of the Burton Hnnt, is lying in a dangerous condition at the kennels, Reepham. Charles Doan. the under whip, heard in Lincoln that Curtis had been making disparaging re- maiks relative to his abilit, a judge of horseflesh, when lie, excited by th18. at once took train for Reepham, and hastened to the kennels. Entering the saddle-room, and finding there the kead whip, be locked the door and took out the key, at the aame time asking Curtis if any one had seen him some ill. and adding that no one would see him go out. He then, without the slightest explanation, commenced to attack Curtis in a most outrage* si manner. He knocked him down, kicked him eavagely on the head and face, and not content with tbi." trampled" upon his neck and ribe, and did not desist until his victim was rendered nncon"cioua. A man and three j boys were in the room at the timee, but instead of endeavouring to check Dean they jumped through a window. Dean is under remand.

COLONIAL SUBJECTS IN BOARD SCHOOLS. Some correspondence has taken place between Ma F. Young, hon. secretary of the hoyal Colonial In- stitute, and Mr. Mundella, M P., Vice-President of the Council on Education. The former state(i that the Council of the Institute had devoted attention te the importance of diffusing information ooneerning the colonies among the children In board sehools; that great iguoranoe prevailed on this matter; that this was the more important as emigration was in* creating, and that it was very desirable that instrne* tion as to the geography, history, olimate, and re* lourees of our colome" tth uld be given in these schools, To this end the council had resolved on f ffering prises for the best essays by scholars on such subjects. Mr. Mundella replied that he was entirely in accord with the Inatitute in this respeet, and added In the new code which hat been provided by this department, not only for board feboolt, but for all the public elementary xchool* of the country, we have made geography one of the class subjects which may be taken throughout the school from the lowest to the highest standard and in Standard IV., which is the lowest standard at which any child can pase out ot school in any part of Great Britain, the re* quirement is the teaching of the 'physical and political geography of the Biitish Isles, British N rth America .ar.d At., trals,,iolwith knowledge of thtir production* In Standard VI. tbe requirements are 'geography of the world generally, and especially of the Briu h colonies and dependencies,interchange of productions, circumstances which determine climate.' X am glad to note that yon are about to give prises fpr competi- tion for the best esaayaon colonial subjects,and I have no doubt this will have the effect of stimulating this very important and usetul branch of education.

kN AWKWARD EPISODK IN A CLYuACi* vale courtship. At Ystrad police-court, on Monday, Matthew Morgan. collier, i lydaoh Vale, and his sweetheirt, Margaret Morgan, of the st "e place, were sum- moned for riding on tho Taff Vale Railway in a. superior ciass carriage to that for which they had taken tickets.—Mr Uurman, traffic superintendent prosecuted, and, in opening the case, stated that the company regretted to have to apDear to prose. cute in what might seem to be but trivial ca-es, but in justice to the travelling public generally, and to the company, he must ask the Magistrates to punish deliberate attempts fo defraud, such as the present case appeared to be. The two def^n- dants were On the 27th ult, travelling by the fifth up train from Pontypridd, when Guard Hurlow, seeiig them in a second class carriage, had hit suspicions aroused, and asked them to show their tickets. They produ ced third class tickets. Guard Harlow, called, bore out the statement made by Mr Hnrman, adding that the defendants had third class return tickets from Aberdare to Llwynpia. Cross examined by Matthew The male defen- dant did offer the excess after he spoke to him. Mr W. Davies, of Treforest, inspector of the passenger traffic upon the Rhondda branches of the Taff Vale Railway, said that when the guard called his attention to the defendants, he entered the carriage with them, In the course of conversation they said they knew they w« re in a superior carriage to that for which they had t1 ckets. In reply to the question whether he would have paid the excess, the male defendant said, Not unless I was asked te." lie at first said he lived at Llwynpia Terrace; Tonypandy, bnt after the young lady had said something to him in an undersone he said, I mnst tell the truth, I am a collier from, Clydach Vale.In reply to the Stipendiary wit- ness said the difference in the fare would be 4d.
