In the House of Commons to-day Mr, Gladstone Promised that the bill for the enforcement of the laws in Ireland would be introduced on Thursday of this week. It would contain the provisions of several acis passed in former years for the Preservation of the public peace. It would empower the Lord Lieuenant of lreiana to suspend the writ of habeas corpus and provide for summary trial without jury of certain erences created by the bill, such as the possession of pow- der, prowling by night, or travelling without destt- mation or purpose. 1. would compeusute the victims of violence and increase the powers otf the officers of Justice for obtaining evidence. ‘The bill was to re- main tn force for a limited time, and could be ap- plied only (o districts in which the Lord Lieutenant had prociaimed the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, ‘The press in districts under ihe operation of the law would be held amenabie for ofences against order, This statement was received with uprourious ap- Plause from both sides of the House, Mr, Gladstone said this brief announcement was ‘all that it was thought expedient now to make. Mr. Chichester Fortescue, gCnief Secretary for Ireland, presented imperative reasons why the go- Vernment had up to the present moment preferred to adhere to the letter of the law in dealing with Lre- land rather than resort to another suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, A lively debate followed on Irish affairs in general.

Lonpon, March 14, 1870. In the House of Commons to-day the new Kduca- tion bill cameup on motion for a second reading. Mr. George Dixon, member for Birmingham, and an advanced liberal, said he felt obliged to oppose the second reading of the bill, as much as he de- sired free schools. At many points (he measure was bad. It neglected to provide for an Educa- tional department im the government or for normal Schools, He objected that the bul, though compul- sory, made concessions to sectarian occuplers, and that leaving religious questions to be determined by the board must introduce endless dissension. Mr. Forster, the introducer of the bill, argued against the use of the Bible and the giving of religious instruction im the schools. On this rock, ne said, the valuable school system Public ef the United States was foundering, and simply because the rule was imiexible and ‘mot left to the option of each locality.’ The best public opinion favored the latter plan. Mr. Forster gave the iistory of his bill and analyzed tts provi- sions at great length, and concluded by hoping that during thts session he should see the measure fully considered and become a law. The Coinage bill was passed and the House ad- journed. Mr. Vernon Harcourt and others denounce Mr. Forster’s Kducation bill because it refers religious GiMouities to Local bodies for settlement. 1 Aulantic Cable Tolls and Profits. ee ke Lovo, March 14, 1870, ‘The London Times publisnes’d leter arguing Strongly against the suggestion to try the experi- ment of reducing the rates of telegraphing through the English and French Atlantic cables to a crown for twenty words.

HORRIBLE MURDER IN OHIO. A Woman Butchered in Mansfeld—Frightful Appearance of the Body=—No Clue to the Murderer—A Reward Offered tor His Ape prehension—Particulars of the ‘Tragedy. MANSFIELD, Ohio, March 14, 1870. The inhabitants of this quiet town were thrown into great excitement on Saturday morning last by @ rumor that one of the most horrible murders on record in this State had been perpetrated in their midst. Your correspondent, who had just tintshed his breakfast whea he heard of the rumor, visited the scene with a view to gaining such reliabie tofor- mation as could be obiained at the moment. By the aid of a citizen the vicinity of ihe tragedy Was reached. The house 1s situated on the strect Tunning @t angles with the main street, on a line with the ratirotd, and im the rear of the United States Hotel. Itis a double one story frame buliding, with an attic, One side of the house ts occupied by a family of negroes, and in the other dweist the victim of the murder. The dody lay in the attic, on en- tering which a most sickening scene presented itself. Ona bed in the righthand corner of the apartment lay tae unfortunate woman, drenched in her biood. Her wounds were numerous and horrible to gaze upon, The throat was cut trom ear to ear; on the mgnt side of the neck there was 4 deep gasn; on the upper part of one breast was a ghastly wound, and there wasa deep cut tn the right side of the face, laying opea the cheek from the angle of the jaw and exposing the teeth to view. In inflicting this wound the assassin had thrust his knife into the victim’s mouth, nearly severing the tongue, and drawing it out by some means as it protruded from between the lips, Which were drawn up and contorted as from agony. Be- Sides these wounds, any of which was serious enough vo cause death, the beast 19 human form had actually disembowelled the woman. A large incision had been made in her apdomen, from which the entrails, mangled and cut, gushed out. It is impossible to describe the sickening horror of the scene, Biood bespattered the room, on the floor and on the furni- ture. The bedclothing was dyed with the gore. = * ‘rhere 1s no doubt whatever that the ill-fated crea- ture struggivd desperately for her Iie, The appear- ance of the room indicated that her assassin had overcome lier only after a flerce and protonged re- sistance. Besides, the struggle was heard by and actually awoke tue negroes in the adjoining house, ana the negro man rising from his bed rasted to the door just in time to see the 1orm of the muraerer leaping through the side window with a bound and hurry of down the street. Why he did not instantly give the alarm is not clearly explained; but next morning the negroes inentioned tue circumstance to the neighbors, whose suspicions became aroused by the fact of the woman. not making her appearance a4 usual. Some of them went to the door and knocked, and receiving no re- sponse placed a ladder against the window, and entering the room discovered her dead body lying on the bed as described. But little is known of the poor creature except that she was a seamstress, named Mary J. Limsford. She arrived here {rom Cincinnati some flye montus ago, and was reported to be a widow, with one child, It ig stated that she bad two suitors for her hand, one of which she accepted, aud that the marriage cere- mony was to have been performed on Wednesaay next. So far no clue has been obtamed to the murderer. Some persons think that tue crime was committed by the disappointed lover, but there is no evidence whatever at present to jusiify the sus- Picion. The tragedy has naturally created the great- est excitement and aroused uke city authorities to unwonted activity. A reward of $1,000 nas been offered for the arrest of the murderer, and tt is hoped that he will be discovered before many days can pass. At the present writing, however, the ter: rible aflair is su.ouded in the deepest mystery. MISSISSIPPI.

Dr. HEPWORTH next addressed the meeting, and Said that no nation was ever satisiied unl it ob- tained some abnormal excitement in tue shape of drink. But the American belonged to a nation that needed it the least, ‘The American found his excite- nent In whittiing hts way to a milion of doliars, ‘The German might solace is sorrows tn his becr, and the Engitshinan, whose nerves were oucside of his bones, Uughi clothe Luose voaes with fesa with his Burton wle; butthe American, whose nervous system seemed giretched outside tis skin, needed no stimulant to excite a system Uat was already too nervous constituttun, The lite of the American was all excitement.

There is nothing remarkable and very littie that is enter- taining or amusing in 1t, unless it be the frantic efforts of some of the performers to rescue from their natural lugabriousness the wretched attempts at wit made by the author. It is very strange that the buriesque writers cannot give os something new. kyvery burlesque produced on the stage, of New York at least, 1s but a poor copy of those that preceded it.
