The Commissioners took their seats this morning at 20 minutes past 11 o'clock. Mr. Ellice commenced the proceedings by calling evidence in support of 147 A's evidence relative to the sticks he stated he took from the persons who attacked him in the park on the Ist inst. 78, 577, and 536 A swore they went with 147 A to the dairy lodge, and there saw two sticks he pointed out as the sticks so taken. 84 D saw the two sticks at Vine-street station on the Tuesday following. He saw similar sticks to those produced in the park on Sunday, and had one in his hand. (The sticks, which are made of deal, are about two feet long and an inch in dia meter at the largest end, and of rather formidable appearance). He said he was on duty in plain clothes and saw four men with these sticks, some of which were painted blue. The men carried them in their pockets, and he saw one of them put one of the sticks up his coat sleeve, saying " the shall have it to day. " He watched them for a short time and then missed them. By Mr. Chief Commissioner Wortley—Did you give , information of it to any one at the time ? IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Lord LONDESBOROUGH presented a petition against the Scotch Education Bill. Lord LYTTLETON presented a petition from certain clergymen of the Church of England at Ashby-de•la- Zouch against any alteration in the law of marriage. THIRD READINGS. . On the motion of Lord REDESDALE, the following bills were severally read a third time and passed : Flandeock's Estate and the Stokes Bay Railway and Pier Bill. _ . . and therefore the provisions of this bill were not ex- tended to them. After some further discussion, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the introduction of limited liability was no new principle in our law. Insurance companies were at liberty to introduce into their charters the principle of limited liability, and the principle of this act would not at all interfere with their right to do so. (Hear.) Mr. M. CHAMBERS was of opinion it would be right to extend to insurance companies the principle of limited liability, but he thought the law was not yet ripe for that purpose. Mr. A. WILKINSON then withdrew his amendment. In consequence of the appointment of Sir Benjamin Hall to be Chief Commissioner of Public Works, a va cancy was caused in the representation of this borough, and therefore it was determined by the returning officer, G. Tamplio, Esq., to appoint this day, at eleven o'clock, for the election of a fit and proper person to represent the borough of Marylebone in Parliament. The hustings were erected as usual in Park-crescent. Among the gentlemen present we observed—Jacob Bell, Esq., Sir Walter Stirling, W. Williams, Esq., M.P. for Lambeth, Lord Ebrington, &c., &c. At eleven o'clock Sir B. Hall, accompanied by his friends, arrived in a carriage gaily decorated with crimson. The committee of the hon. gentleman all wore a crimson clove in their coats. The right hon. baronet was most enthusiastically received. At ten minutes after 11. o'clock Mr. G. TAMPLIN opened the proceedings, and entreated a fair and im partial hearing for any and every gentleman who wished to address the electors. He said they were assembled there again under circumstances of a very different de scription to those which called them together on the last occasion. Then they were called together to elect a successor to one whose memory will ever be remembered. Now they were assembled to re-elect Sir B. Hall, who had been called upon by her Majesty to fulfil a very im portant office. The selection of the hon. baronet the member for Marylebone would by all of them be deemed a great honour. (Cheers.) He did not know that any opposition would be offered to the re-election of Sir Benjamin Hall ; he had heard of none. Without detaining them any longer, he would call upon Dr. Joseph to nominate Sir B. Hall. (Cheers.) Dr. JOSEPH then came forward to propose Sir B. Hall. In doing so he passed a high eulogium upon the hon. baronet. He alluded to the great efforts that had been made by their late representative to improve the metro polis, and he felt that when the history of the present Parliament would have to be written, the two acts which would hereafter be known as "Hall's Acts" would be quite sufficient to stamp his fame. He had now had the honour of representing Marylebone for 18 years, which fact of itself was sufficient to secure the return of the right hon. gentleman. He, therefore, called upon the meeting to elect Sir B. Hall to the vacant seat. Mr. STOCKTON said he had great pleasure in seconding the motion. The RETURNING OFFICER having inquired whether there was any other candidate to propose, and none ap• peering, declared the Right Hon. Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., duly elected, amidst the most vociferous cheer ing. Sir B. HALL came forward and said he begged most heartily to thank them for the honour that had just been conferred upon him. After paying a compliment to the memory of the late Joseph Hume and Lord Dudley Stuart, be proceeded to say that in the month of August last he was invited to accept office, and he had no hesita tion in so doing, because he felt that the electors of Mary lebone were perfectly satisfied with him. In the office over which he then had the honour to preside he had done all that was possible for the interests of the borough of Marylebone. He bad introduced a measure for the better management of the metropolis, and he had great pleasure in saying that that measure had passed through the House of Commons, and had been read a second time in the House of Lords. Im mediately that act received the royal assent the evils of divided responsibility, which had so long existed, would be swept away. (Cheers.) He felt that the as sembled electors would expect to hear from him some thing relative to the war ; and he would therefore just make one or two remarks with respect to it. A great deal had been said about Lord Palmerston—whether he was sincere in pro secuting it with vigour. It was said, when be was Secretary of State f or th e Home Depart ment, they were sure of having the war vigorously and energetically prosecuted so long as the noble lord re mained in the Cabinet ; and now be (Sir B. Hall) asked any candid man what had occurred since he became First Minister of the Crown that had given any ground for sus pecting that he had for a moment neglected anything that was necessary for a vigorous, energetic, and successful prosecution of the war 1 He had opportunities of closely watching the conduct of the noble lord, and he felt that the noble lord was perfectly sincere in his objects ; and entertaining that opinion he felt that as a public man it was his (Sir B. Hall's) duty not to shrink from the expression of his honest opinion. When Lord Aberdeen was in office Lord Palmerston was, in fact, Minister of War, although he never virtually held the seals of office—but in a few hours after he was the First Minister of the Crown ; and let his enemies say what they might, he (Sir B. Hall) again reiterated that he had nut for an instant relaxed his exer tions. No doubt many present had read Lord Claren don's despatches, and let him ask whethei there was any thing to find fault with in them, for it ought to be well known that those despatches gave a clear view of the opinions of Lord Palmerston, as those despatches would never have .gone forth had not he given his assent to them. (Cheers.) Then again let them look to a most important document that had made its appearance within the last 48 hours—he meant the instructions to Lord J. Russell. Those instructions, be felt assured,' were of themselves sufficient to justify him in saying that Lcrd Palmerston was honest. He (Sieß. Hall) felt he need hardly assure the assembled electors of Alarylebone that he, their representative, would never have given his support to or joined any Government that was not determined to prosecute the just and necessary war in which we were engaged with the utmost determination and vigour ; and with those feelings and opinions ho had joined Lord Palmerston's Ministry, feeling convinced that he was perfectly sincere, honest, and just with re spect to the conduct of the war. (Loud cheers.) It was now eighteen years since he first stood before them. He was then a much younger man than he was at pre sent, and he'was told that he might succeed once, but never again. (Laughter.) The same thing had occurred again with respect to the new appointment he had just been called upon to fi)l. He was at first told be would not succeed, but he had done so, and he now stood before them, now that be had been placed in a higher sphere, to obtain their approbation, and to inform them that their interests would not suffer in consequence of his having been transferred to another office. (Loud cheers.) Their proceedings today had been very har moniously conducted, and he sincerely trusted that the same course would be pursued when another election should take place. The lion. gentleman then returned thanks. (Vociferous cheering.) Mr. BEACON said ho begged to give a hint to the re presentative, which he thought he might lay before his colleague. It was said that the Chancellor of the Ex chequer was greatly in want of money. Now he begged to suggest the propriety of taxing titles. (Hear, and laughter.) It wan the course pursued when James I. was king, and he raised a pretty considerable sum by it. (Laughter.) He bad a regular scale of prices, and he believed the charge for a knighthood was three hun dred pounds—(laughter)--and such was the avidity with which the honour was sought after that ladies pawned their jewels to obtain for their husbands the coveted honour. He had a regular scale--(laughter)— and all who wanted titles would pay for it. (Continued laughter.) Let them only consent to tax earls, lords, honourables, and right honourables, and then they could afford to let them have their tea, coffee, and sugar cheaper than they did at present. (Loud laughter.) Sir B. HALL then came forward and proposed a vote of thanks to the returning officer, Cr. Tamplin, Esq. Mr. J. BELL said it afforded him much gratification in seconding the motion. With respect to their esteemed representative the electors had for eighteen years been satisfied with his exertions, and he thought that a very great deal for him to be able to say. The honourable gentleman had risen step by step to the position he at present occupied, and when he was called upon to assume a much higher office he was sure he would be found equal to the emergency. It was said that, on joining the present Government, he (Sir B. Hall) was joining a bad lot ; but the only way to reform a Government was to infuse new blood into it. (Loud cheers.) On a call being made for Lord EBRINGTON, the noble lord came forward, and was received with hisses, groans, and other discorda nt sounds, drowning what he at tempted to address to the assembly. At length the returning le l officerlord p r oceeded with his address. obtained a hearing for him, He said be had not intended to address to them a single observation had he not been called for. (Hisses.) It was not his habit to be put down by clamour, and he felt that when he next came before them to solicit a renewal—(the remainder of the sentence was lost amidst cries of " No more," " No more," and " Sun day Beer Bill.") He heard the cry of " Sunday Beer Bill," but with the passing of that measure he had no thing to do—he was not in Parliament when it was passed. With respect to the Sunday Trading Bill — (hisses and groans) —he did think it was possible to pur chase furniture and clothing on other days than Sundays. He had been solicited to support that bill at the instance of a great number of small tradesmen, who complained that, in consequence of the evil arising from Sunday trading, they were precluded from visiting Greenwich park and other places on Sundays. He did not think it expedient to work seven days each week, and he believed it was impossible to make a man either sober or reli gious by Act of Parliament. Whether a man went for be bad a perfect right to do as a trip into the c oun to church was his ff own aair, he a oud c beers)and as an instance of his li e d as h e e d _th ooucheers)-andp sin cerity he had given notice of a motion for the next Ses sion of Parliament, the effect of which would be to open both the British Museum and the Crystal Palace on Sunday. (Loud cheers ) With re seect to the conduct of the war, he felt sure every vote of his, from the Sebastopol committee inquiry down to the vote he gave last night on the Turkish loan, would prove his an d, as regards Lord Palmerston, he felt sure mos t anxious desire was to pursue the war with th vigour which befitted a great country like this. i sinceritytthhaatt his ; Entertaining those sentiments with respect to Lord Pal merston, he thought it would be base of him if he did not stand up and defend him. (Loud cheers.) The returning officer then bespoke a hearing , for a gentleman named Roberts, a non-elector, and be having alluded to several local matters requiring reform, the proceedings terminated, Witness—Yes. By Mr. Commissioner Wortley—To whom ? Witness—To a constable. By Mr. Chief Commissioner Wortley—Do you know his number? Witness—No ; he was one of the A division. Mr. Commissioner Armstrong—Did you come here to tell us that? Witness—No. He mentioned the circumstance above alluded to in a report he made to his superior officer. By Mr. Mitchell—Men did you make the report ? Witness—One or two days after the Sunday. By Mr. Mitchell—Will you swear these men with the sticks were not paid agents of the police ? Witness—l shouldn't think the police such fools as to do that. Police-Sergeant 349 A said be was 35 years of age, and had been in the force 14 years. As he was taking his men down the drive he was struck by a stone thrown at the police. He denied coming in contact or striking a cripple. (This is the man identified by Martin, of the Royal Albert, wounded in the trenches before Sebasto pol.) Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—He struck no one during the day. By Mr. Commissioner Henderson —Might you not unknowingly have touched or struck a crippled sailor ? nitness—l do not think it possible. Police-sergeant 31 D, 25 years of age, and has been in the force two years. He denied striking a boy when on the ground. As he was taking a boy into custody the crowd pressed so much on them that they both fell down, the boy's elbow striking witness in the chest, which caused him much suffering, being subject to pal pitation of the heart. It was in consequence of the pain he felt that he left the boy and went to the rail ings, and not for feeling ashamed of his conduct as de posed by Mr. J. A. Blanchard. He was called after " rabbit-pie," " area sneak," &e. (Laughter.) Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—He did not strike any one during the day. He did not know of any person being struck that day by the police. 375 A, examined yesterday as a corroborative witness, deposed to-day he did not kick a man on the ground, nor strike a man over the temple. He was conveying a pri soner to Vine-street station the time he was sworn to being in the park. Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—He had had many such "shindies" in his life, but it was not his practice, when in the Irish constabulary, to knock people down. He did not see a man struck during the day. By Mr. Commissioner Henderson— He did not chase a man over the green. The lad he had in custody fell on the ground, but he did not kick or strike him. There was a discrepancy also here with regard to the time spoken of by Mr. Blanchard and the time witness took the lad into custody, which is very likely, when it is considered_ the public who witnessed the acts com plained of bad no idea of being called up to state them and the tints at which they occurred. The difference of time in most cases is so triffing as not to make it a material circumstance in exonerating the men charged with the particular offences. 387 A. has been in the police force upwards of six years. He denied he struck any boys as spoken to by Mr. Ayrton. He struck at them to drive them away. In reply to questions from the Commissioner he said he did not strike at the boys, but waved his staff to frighten them. 109 B, the man who apprehended Mr. Bawstead, a commercial traveller, on his way to Brompton with his wife, was next called. Mr. Bawstead did not attend to identify the man, but had written a letter to Mr. Ellice stating he had no complaint against the policeman per sonally. He complained of his apprehension, and after wards the refusal of bail. In reply to Mr. Ellice's ques tions, the policeman said he apprehended Bawstead for hissing and shouting at the top of his voice, and charged him with riotous conduct. Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—Superdt. Hughes cautioned Mr. Bawstead before he was taken into cus tody. After that he hissed at a cab passing with priso ners, and witness took him into custody. Mr. Hughes was on his horse in front of Mr. Bawstead at the time. Mr. Hughes was perfectly coot and collected the whole of the day. He did not strike any one during the day. Police Serjeant 403 A is 30 years of age, and has been in the force upwards of 10 years. He took Mr. Rey nolds into custody after cautioning him. He denied more violence was used than was necessary to take him into custody. He dii not ask the other constables to desist from striking Reynolds. He did not strike him when conveyi-ng him in a cab to the station. No evi dence was given against Reynolds before the magis- trates. 31 G corroborated the last man's evidence. He did net strike Reynolds. Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—He was in the Park from 2 o'clock till half-past 9 o'clock, and during that time he saw no one struck by the police. 354 A was in the cat) with 403 A and Reynolds. 403 did not strike him. Reynold was waving his handker chief out of the cab window, and 403 A pulled his arm back. He struck no one for the day. 554 A 25 years of age, and has been in the force about 7or 8 months. He was net ordered to take a man into custody by Inspector Martin, as spoken to by Mr. Geo. Payne. He was not aware his conduct that day entitled it to be " characterised by brutality" or acting under " periodical fits of something or other." He struck no man during the day. Police sergeant 20 A, is 26 years of age, and has been in the service seven years. He was on leave that day, and not in Hyde•park as spoken to by Mr. Henry Horton. Mr. Ellice said it was strange that in all the cases of the men in the park on the Ist, the witness who had spoken to their numbers had not appeared to identify them. Inspector Bray deposed police sergeant 20 A was not on duty that day. 380 A denied that he rushed on a little boy 14 years of age, and struck him on the back or used disgusting language that day. He struck one man because he at tempted to rescue a prisoner. Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—He heard many re marKs of " Rabbit Pie," " Who Stole the G oose ? " &O , but he never took persons into custody for it because he attfributed it to their ignorance. John King, the boy who it was stated by his father was struck so violently by 147 A, was unable to identify him. 147 A, in answer to a question from the Commis sioner, said he was unable to identify the lad as the one from whom he took one of the sticks he produced. [LEFT SITTING.] SPORTING NOTES. GLORIOUS GOODWOOD ! The stir and the bustle of preparation for the Good-, wood Meeting are widely displayed. Already have many turfites packed up their " properties," and flitted away to the Sussex coast. At Chichester and Singleton people are on the constant look out for horses, and augur, from the demand for stable accommodation, that, so far as the fields are concerned, the meeting will be worthy of its most brilliant predecessors. The pro gramme is, as usual, strong in attraction, the list for each day possessing its distinguishing "feature." On Tuesday, the opening day, tha Stewards' Cup will be run for ; on Wednesday " the Stakes," and the North and South Biennial Stakes, for two-year-olds ; on Thursday the Cup ; and on Friday the Nursery Stakes. The betting on the Goodwood Stakes has, within the last three days, undergone a marked and significant change. Epaininondas is now the ruling favourite, and the Newmarket folk deem the race all over but shouting. Surgeon-General is steady, whilst a simultaneous move ment in Manchester and London yesterday brought Quince again prominently into notice. Oulston is reinstated in his " pride of place" for the Cup, and has the decided call of the "foreigner," Baron cino. Among the horses likely to fulfil their respective en gagements at Goodwood will be Fly-by-night, the first favourite for the Derby, West Langton, and Voivode— animals that have also been much talked about in con nection with their chance for the Great Epsom Encoun ter, 1856. St. Hubert, although only half prepared, will also put in an appearance to convince his St. Leger backers that he is again sound and well. Altogether the meeting seems likely to be attended with the most important results. On Monday I will enter fully into a discnssion of the probabilities. A FRESH MAN . July 28. - - NEWMARKET, Saturday.—Left tbis morning for Good wood : —Epaminondas, Arnsbee, Pagnator, BeSoDian, Hazel, Besika, Flageolot, Alcyone, Raglan, Protest, and Nicotine. Syvageo has broken down. plr, pm Viscount GODERICH then moved the amendment of which he had given notice, namely, to leave out of the operation of the bill any company having a capital stock of the nominal amount of not less than 20,0001.. divided into shares of a nominal value of not less than 251. His object in moving this amendment was to give the bene fit of this bill to companies that had less capital than 20,0001., and not to allow companies that had a capital cf 20,0001. and upwards to have a monopoly. Mr. W. WILLIAMS seconded the amendment. He could not see why any party having a capital of even only 1,0001. should not be entitled to the benefits of the bill. Mr. EWART supported the amendment of the noble viscount (Goderich), considering that the bonefit of the bill ought to be extended to small capitalists. Mr. A. WILKINSON also supported the amend ment of the noble viscount, thinking that the man who had small means and the most honest intentions ought to be allowed to avail himself, if he thought fit, of the provisions of the bill. Mr. HASTIE supported the amendment, thinking that its operations ought to be taken advantage of by the middling classes. Mr. BOUVERIE was willing, if it met with the ap probation of the committee, to reduce the amount of the minimum capital to 10,0001., and the value of the shares to 201. instead of 251. Mr. MITCHELL thought the course taken by the Government was inconsistent with that which it had pursued on former occasiocs. He could not see why any limit should be made as to the amount of capital. Mr. HENLEY could not see the necessity for limit ing the amount of capital at all. He thought it would be far better to leave parties to look to the nature of the concern in which they proposed to embark, and leave them to do as they like, putting aside any notion of limit altogether. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that the object of the bill was to define each man's liability, and to pub lish to the world what those liabilities were. If the present amendment was carried, and he believed that to he the object of its noble mover—(cries of "No, ne," from Lord G-oderich)—the whole preamble of the bill would be vitiated. Mr. CARDWELL said the object of the bill was to cut up monopoly by the root, and .he asserted that if the bill was carried with any limitation, monopoly, instead of being cut up by the root, would be increased and multi plied. Ile warned the small traders of the country that if this bill passed with any limit, they would be at the mercy of the great capitalists. If the bill was carried without any limit the law would be clear to everybody, and they would on' r have themselves to blame if they got into difficulty. Lord PALAIERSTON said that the limit of 10,0001. was quite sufficient to show that a real existence was given to substantial companies, but to give the same ad vantage to companies of greatly smaller capital appeared to him ridiculous ; for instance to companies of shares of the value of is. 6d. and 201. capital. Mr. LOWE maintained that the badge of fraud was large capitals and not small ones. He should, there fore, support the amendment of the noble viscount. Lord J. MANNERS supported the amendment, be lieving that there oncht to be no limits in the bill. Viscount GODERICH replied, stating his determi nation to persevere in his amendment. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated, that if the amendment of the noble viscount was carried, it would be impossible to carry out the principle of the bill. Mr. HENLEY deprecated the course pursued by the Solicitor-General, and considered it unworthy of the high position he held. Mr. COWAN, in order to relieve the Government from the difficulty into which they appeared to have got, would move that the Chairman should report progress. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, but Lord PALMERSTON said he would not trouble the house to divide upon the amendment. (Hear, hear.) The provision therefore with respect to the limitation of capital was omitted from the clause. Lord GODERICH then proposed an amendment to omit the words fixing the amount of shares, and upon it the committee divide, when there appeared — For the original motion Against it Majority against amendment —s4 The amendment was consequently lost. Mr. WILLIAMS then moved the substitution of 51. for 251. as the amount of shares. Viscount EBRINGTON seconded the amendment. Mr. BOUVERIE opposed the amendment, but stated his willingness to substitute 101. provided 50 per cent. of the shares was paid up. The house then resumed, the chairman reported pro gress, and obtained leave to it again tomorrow at 12 o'clock. Lord HARROWBY presented several petitions from Wolverhampton praying for the closing of public-houses on the Lord's-day. Earl FORTESCUE presented a petition from the Rev. C. C. Layard, complaining of the refusal of the Bishop of Exeter to institute him to the perpetual curacy of Escot, in the county of Devon. He (Lord For tescue) was anxious that the reverend prelate referred to in the petition should have been present, but in answer to a communication sent to him, the reverend prelate said illness would prevent his being in the house, but requested that his written reply might be read to the house. It was to the effect that, if ever he (the Bishop of Exeter) were presented, he would consider it his duty to remain silent on the subject matter of his petition, and that if Mr. Layard considered himself ag grieved, he had the ecclesiastical courts of the country to apply to. The noble earl then proceeded to refer to cases in which such application had been made, and in which the expenses amounted to such enormous sums as to render it impossible for a poor curate to avail himself of such courts. Indeed, the rev. prelate in his reply remarked upon the heavy expenses attending a resort to those tribunals, and said he would be happy to use his best exertions to reduce them to a more reasonable standard. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord then read several letters, being testimonials given to the rev. gentleman, with a view of showing that the character, respectability, and orthodoxy of Mr. Layard were above reproach. The petitioner stated that he bad taken the oath of canonical obedience, and he concluded by assuring their lordships that his case was by no means an uncommon one in the diocese of Exeter, and he therefore prayed "that clergymen might, upon simply renewing, ex animo, their declara tion of conformity and their oath of canonical obedience as required by law, be reasonably and safely admitted by the bishop to any; beneficial cure of souls, when they had already been engaged in the cure of souls in that diocese without having incurred his censure, or when, having served in another diocese, they brought with them a bene exeat from the bishop thereof." A short conversation then ensued, in which several noble lords took part, as to whether it was in accordance with the standing orders of the house that petitions should be printed with the votes. It was decided that although the standing orders were silent on the subject, to do so was not in conformity with their lordships' practice. The motion was accordingly withdrawn. Lord BROUGHAM then laid on the table a bill, the object of which is to repeal several remaining acts of Par liament imposing penalties for heresy, usury, schism, &c. Unfortunately, said the noble lord, the statute-book abounds in intolerant laws which ought to have been swept away, not needled. Lord St. Leonards, before he left office, abolished about thirty of these statutes, but the bill which he (Lord Brougham) now proposed to their lordships would sweep away about 120 more. One act remaining in force required that every person of the Jewish persuasion should wear a particular badge—(a laugh)—another pressed with absurd restrictions upon the descendants of subjects of this country born abroad. The late Duke of Gloucester was, he believed, born at Rome, and was naturalised as being the son of a British-born subject ; but a son of the Duke of Nor folk, a Catholic, if so born abroad, could not have been naturalised. The bill would also deal with acts of Par liament with respect to the repeal of which by previous legislation there remained a doubt. It was doubtel, for instance, whether a certain act had been repealed imposing penalties for the non-acknowledgment of the real presence. There was doubt also with regard to acts imposin g penalties for slander, defamation, heresy, schism, incontinence, and usury. Usury ! Why, by the law of the land there was no such thing as " usury, and yet acts were supposed to remain in force recognis ing its existence. Dissenters also laboured under a dis advantage arising oat of the compulsory registration of meeting-houses. It was not as a Dissenter, but as a Churchman, that he called for the repeal of these old acts, and claimed the abolition of acts of Parliament or parts of acts which were the remains of a persecuting code. He proposed that the bill should be read a first time, and referred to the statute law commission. The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed his approval of the bill, which he thought it would be advisable to refer to the statute law commission, although at first sight it might be considered questionable to refer a bill to a body appointed to consolidate, not repeal, laws. The bill was then read a first time. CHARITABLE TRUSTS ESTATE (IRELAND). Lord MONTEAGLE moved for certain returns rela tive to the Irish Charitable Estates Commission.—Or dered. - SLAVE TRADE (SHERBRO) BILL. Lord WODEHOUSE moved to suspend the stand ing orders in respect to a bill to carry into effect con ventions with certain chiefs of the Sherhro country, in Africa, for the supprnsion of the slave trade. The Earl of DERBY observed that the conventions were dated in last year ; and if the measure were so urgent why had it not been introduced before ? Lord WODEHOUSE made a brief explanation, and the resolution was agreed to. The bill was read a second time. The Convention with United States Bill was read a third time. The Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Bill was read a third TURKISH LOAN. Lord PALMERSTON stated it to be his intention when the house resumed at six o'clock to move that all the other orders of the day should be postponed for considering the Turkish Lean Bill in committee. The house adjourned shortly before 4 o'clock to G. The house resumed at six o'clock. INVENTIONS FOR TILE WAR. Mr. EWART asked the Clerk of the Ordnance whether satisfactory progress continued to be made in mechanical and other inventions laid before the select committee of the Board of Ordnance, with a view to shortening the duration of the war ? Mr. MONSELL could only inform the hon. gentleman that there had been 974 inventions since last year laid be fore the committee, of which 695 had been rejected, and there were now remaining for trial 123. The select com mittee was diviLled into five sub-committees, upon every one of which were men eminent for their scientific know ledge and a,ttrintnents. They were working very hard, in deed, in making inquiries as to every invention. There were many inventions supposed to be of considerable im portance which were at this moment being carried out by private contractors at the expense of Government ; and he trusted that some others would be attended by the desired results. time. The report on the Militia Officers Qualifications Bill was received. The Trinity College (Dublin) Bill passed through com mittee. Several bills from the House of Commons were pre ,erited and read a first time. Lord MONTEAGLE said there ought to t e the earliest information as to which of these measures were likely to pass. Earl GRANVILLE said he would give notice of the time at which they would come on for discussion. Their lordships then adjourned. ORDER OF MERIT.
