The ship Suffolk, one of Messrs. Wigram's fine fleet of Australian vessels, was being hauled out of the East India Dock, and on getting into the river, the crew crowded to the port side of the ship in order to give the usual parting cheer to their friends who were on the pier. They had given several deafening shouts when the boat swain's mate, a fine young man, who had his wife and child on board, in some way missed his hold and fell overboard, -Unfortunately, in falling, his head came in contact with the Port cha ino, and he immediately disappeared under the water.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS—This Day. The SPEAKER took the chair at twenty five minutes past ,welva. DENMARK AND GERMANY. _ Mr. S. FITZGERALD said he was unwilling the session to come to a close without endeavouring to obtain from her Majesty's Government some ex planation with refer-nee to the present condition of matters between the German Confederation and the King dom of Denmark. The Consolidated Fund (Appropriation) Bill made ample provision for the diplomatic service of the country, and, amongst important places involved, Frank. fort and Copenhagen held a princip4 place. He regretted that while the friendly relations between other Powers appeared to be only strengthened, those between the Germanic Confederation and t , :e Government appeared to be embittered. He considered that the federal occupa tion of Holstein would be most menacing to Europe, if Denmark resisted it. He thcught it would be important to know what steps her Majesty's Government would todie under the cif cumstanc s. Lord PALMERSTON said this was one of the most complicated subjects that ever engaged the attention of statesmen in Europe. He should not enter into details of what was called the Schleswig-Holstein affair, which was involved in the utmost obscurity of former times. The German advocates referred back to 1640 as the ground on which they maintained strict relations between Schleswig and Holstein than those admitted by Denmark or any other Powers, He entirely agreed with the hon. gentleman (Mr. Fitzgerald) that it was a matter of British policy to maintain the independence and integrity of the Danish monarchy. It was not a large one, but it had its rights as well as larger States, and its geographical position rendered it the more important to this country that these rights should be secured. The position the Government had always held was, that Holstein was a member of the German Con federation, and that that Confederation had a control over the affairs of Holstein as it had over other members of the Germanic Confederation, and that any arrangement made by the King of Denmark, opposed to this fundamental rule, was not justifiable. But they held that, with regard to Schleswig, the German Confederation had no control, and the Germanic Confederation had no more right to prescribe rules for it than Spain, Portugal, England, Russia, or any other separate and independent State. They held that Schleswig was a matter of European arrangement. But still there were many Germans there, and the Government hel that the German Confederation had a right to represent, if such a case existed, that the German inhabitants were not placed upon an rqual footing with the subjects of Denmark. Such matters ought not, however, under any circumstances, to justify an appeal to arms. (Hear, hear.) As to Holstein, the last stage only was that which was worthy of considera tion, and that arose out of the patent issued by the King of Denmark in March last. He did not know what step the German Confederation intended to take on the matter but he remembered that an anecdote of Talleyrand, who when he desired that the Germanic Confederation should not take a certain step which he considered might be injUrious to France, recommended them not to proceed with inconside rate haste. Now precipitation was not a characteristic of the Germanic Confederation, but he was sure that their good sense would prevent them from taking a step which would be damaging to the peace of Europe, for if a war broke out there, it must extend further, and in volve many other states in its disastrous consequences. As to the policy and course of the Government as to these disputes, he might say that the Government were desirous that the rights of Denmark should be maintained, and that if any attempt were made to overthrow those rights they should be resisted. He trusted, however, that these matters would be subject for negotiation and not for war. Every effort should be made by her Majesty's Government to induce the parties to include all disputes within the limits of diplomatic intercourse. (blear, hear.) He had no doubt those efforts would be suc ce:sful, and he had no apprehensions of either immediate or remote danger. (Cheers.) THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA.— LAW INTELLIGENCE—This' Days COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE MILO. This bankrupt was a tallow-chandler, at Kingsland, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge. Mr. Harwood appeared for the assignee, and Mr. T. Beard for the bankrupt, but an adjournment for a month was taken by consent. The debts are stated at about £9OO ; assets £3.,0. IN RE HUTCHINSON..--A COOL DISPOSAL OF PROPERTY. This bankrupt was a farmer. Mr. Rced opposed. The bankrupt had been adjudged on several occasions to account for property alleged to be worth £1,200. The bankrupt had assigned the property— a farm --to a person named Golding, in trust, first, for Golding to pay himself a debt alleged to be due to him, then to hold it in tru• t for the bankrupt, and after wards to h;s wile for life, and then for his children, without even the consolation of a remainder for the creditors. Golding became bankrupt, and claimed the property, which, however, he alleged he had made over to a Mr. Graham, an uncle of the bankrupt, d the bankrupt was left and still continued in possession. The case had been adjourned from time to time for the bankrupt to produce Golding and Graham. Mr. Reed now pressed for an adjournment sine die to prevent the assignees from being harassed by these frequent applications. His Honour allowed the bankrupt to pass his last exa mination, but adjourned the order for discharge pending further inquiries as to the property. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) HEMET V. HUTCHINS. This was an action to recover damages for the alleged wro:tgiul conversion of a certain valuable dog, the property of the plaintiff, who was represented by Mr. 0. B. C. Harrison. The facts of the case appear to be, that on the 31st May last, defendant was walking across Tower hill with a police-sergeant, when a dog followed him. It had a collar round its neck, but no name was on such collar. The officer said that the dog was evidently a valu able one, and he advised defendant not to part with it lightly. About a fortnight after this, plaintiff's son saw the dog in Abchurch-lane, and attempted to take it. He was referred by the defendant to the police station, but some unpleasantness subsequently arose, and then defendant insisted upon plain tiff's proving his right to the dog. Since the last hearing the animal has been given up, and to-day Mr. Harrison applied for costs. His Honour wal of opinion that defendant had been treated harshly in this case. He was a respectable man, and had been in one situation twenty years. He had communicated with the police in reference to this dog, and plaintiff should have gone quietly and properly to work to obtain possession of it. Great stress had been laid upon the fact that defen dant had once turned the dog adrift, but he had an un doubted right to do so, and was not bound to keep it. Therefore the verdict will be for defendant with costs. immediately consult a solicitor, with the view of seeking re dress for having been locked up improperly, She was then discharged. WESTMINSTER. ROBBERY AT THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RemwAy.--George Loekyer, alias Cameron, was charged with stealing a great quantity of lead forming a cistern, from part of the premises belonging to the London, Dover, and Chatham Railway Company. Police constable Simons, 160 B, said that at half-past nine last night he was near the London, Chatham, and Dover railway terminus, at Pimlico, when he saw the prisoner coming out of a house with something large on his shoulders, wrapped in a coat. He stopped him and found it was lead. He then asked him what he was going to do with it, when he replied " Plant it,": Witness said he must come back with him and he would " plant it" for him ; upon which prisoner refused to return, and assaulted him, but was secured. On searching him two large knives were found in his possession. Mr. Alfred Hancock, inspector of the company, living on the premises, proved that the 1 ad in question had been taken from there. It was not old material but was a cistern set in lead for use, and perfect the night before. It had beer since found cut down and the lead carried off. Mr. Selfe inquired what was known of the prisoner. A police detective said he had been apprehended on the 11th of February, and committed for six weeks hard labour, for a similpr offence to the present. An officer stated that he had been lurking about the Dover and Chatham works for two or three days, and ordered away. Mr. Selfe committed him for trial. MARKETS--This Day. MARK LANE.

This was an action to recover £0 commission on the sale of 300 barrels of ale, Mr. Hubert Wood, of Coleman street-buildings, appearing for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Serie being counsel for defendants, who are the well-known ale brewers of Burton and London. The short facts of the case were, that plaintiff had intro duced a customer for 300 barrels of ale, and he deposed that he had been promised commission; but Mr. Forster (de fendants' town manager) directly contradicted plaintiff, and further stated that it was not cusAimary to pay commission. The jury, after a brief deliberation, found for defendants, POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. BOW-STREET. Mr. John Marter, a writing-master, of 485, New Oxford street, appeared to answer a summons charging him with improper behaviour towards one of his pupils, a young ser vant girl, named Ann Shergold. From the evidence of the prosecutrix, she stated that she attended on the Bth of July for the purpose of taking lessons in writing, and after she had been there some time Mr. Marter came clo , e to her, kissed her three times, and afterwards conducted himself in such a highly in delicate manner, that she quitted the house. There was another pupil in the adjoining room, but as she left she made no other remark to her than she should not come there any more. On returning to the lady in whose service she was then living, she told her she was glad to get from Mr. Marter's house. The next morning, her mistress, Mrs. Ellis, on learning the facts of the case, directed her to inform her brother of the:conduct of Mr. Marter, and the result was that the present proceedings were instituted against him, and Mr. West attended on the part of the So ciety for the Protection of Women. Mr. Hope, who appeared for the defendant, put several questions to prosecutrix, but her answers were all given with the greatest modesty, and she persisted in the state ment she had made when she was first examined. He was pressing some questions, when Mr. Hall said it was a very delicate thing to attempt to insinuate anything against the character of a female. Mr. Hope quite agreed in that, but then it was a very serious charge against his client. He had a perfect right to know the antecedents of the young woman. He allay admitted that he knew nothing against her. Mr. Hall said he thought it doubtful whether Mr. Hope would serve his client if he persisted in putting questions to the witness such as he was then doing. Mr. Hope then abstained from pressing the questions, and proceeded with his cross-examination —The defendant asked her if she had a young man. She said " Yes." He asked her his name. He then told her to write "My dear George," as one of her exercises. She did not tell the young woman will was in the adjoining room that her young man was paying for her writing lessons, as he had refused to marry her until she was better educated. She paid for the lessons herself out of her own earnings. Mr. Hall—Supposing the young man had offered to pay for her lessons, there was nothing wrong in that. On the contrary, it was highly creditable to him, and not discredit. able to the witness. Cross-examination. continued—She had been in service ever since she was ten years old. Mr. Hall informed Mr. Hope that Dr. Ellis, the girl's master; was in attendance, and he would now answer any questions respecting her. He has already given her a very high character. For the defence, a young man, pupil of Mr. Marter's said he was in the adjoining room on the evening is ques tion, but never saw or heard anything of the matter com- plained of. Miss Johnson, also a pupil of Mr. Marter's, was present on the evening in question, but then she said she was sit Ling with her back to the door, so she could not see into the inner room, in which complainant was taking her lesson. She did not hear any conversation going on in the room. There certainty was no disturbance. Mr. Hall said the evidence would be of some use if the prosecutlix had made any noise, but she distinctly states that she was too much alarmed for that. Wit Bess proceeded—She saw Miss Shergold as she left. She heard her make some remark, but she could not recol lect what. Mr. Hall said he should send the case for trial, but he would admit the defendant to bail on his entering into his own recognisance for £l5O, and two substantial securities in the sum of £75 each. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A LADY'S-MAID CHARGED WITH ROBBERY. --A BAD CASE.—Elizabeth Wellzestine was charged with stealing several articles, the property of her master, Mr. W. T. Fraser, 9, Berkeley-street, Berkeley-square. Mr. Graham, Carlton-chambers, prosecuted. From the evidence of Mr. Fraser it appeared that the prisoner was in his service as lady's-maid to his wife, and that for some time past various articles had been missed. As the prisoner, who was about to leave at the end of the month, had sent away a box by the footman, he (Mr. Fraser) asked her where she had sent to, and she said that she had lent it to a friend who wanted a box. He then consulted the police, and the officer employed (Butcher, 137 C) succeeded in tracing the box, which was packed with the following articles :—Three bottles of sherry, tine of brandy, one of champagne, and one of hock, a bottle of sauce, 12 towels, a number of pocket handkerchiefs (one belonging to a friend who had been staying with him), a tablecloth, &c. Butcher, 137 C, said on asking the prisoner where she had sent the box to, she at first said she had given it to a poor Gei inan woman living at 22, Elizabeth-street, Pim lico, but on his telling her that he believed it had gone somewhere else, she admitted that it was at 2, South street, Grosvenor-square. He then took the prisoner there in a cab, and on getting to the house the servant girl (the prisoner having shaken her head in a significant manner) at once said there was no box there, but on going upstairs he found the box on the landing, and the prisoner owned it was the one she had left there, at the same time declaring that there was nothing in it but what belonged to herself. He told her she must go with him to the station, and she said " Very well.'' At the station she gave him the key of the box, and he found the articles produced (those mentioned by Mr. Fraser) in it. On being searched 16 duplicates were found in her possession. She said the arti cles in the box were given to her by the butler; but the butler denied this. Mr. Graham asked for a remand, Butcher stating that ha believed the duplicates, relating to all sorts of property, and pledged in e ifferent names, were connected with other robberies. The prisoner was remanded. A DOUBTFUL CHARGE OF ROBBERY.—A smartly attired young unfortunate, named Mary Ann Bourne, was charge before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing six £5 Bank of England notes from the person of Mr. P. Stewart, saddler, No. 3, Great Ryder-street, in a brothel in Union-street. On the accused being placed at the bar, Inspector Draper informed the magistrate that the person charging the young woman was not in attendance. Mr. Tyrwhitt said if there was anything more discovered of the robbery the young woman could be given into custody again. The accused said she was innocent, and that she should PRIVATEERING. Mr. COBDEN called attention to the exploits of the Oreto, alias the Florida, the Alabama, alias the 290, and the Japan, alias the Virginia. The hon. gentleman hay. ing dwelt upon the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment Act, and to the attacks which the abJve-named vessels had made upon the merchandise of a friendly power, remarked that every vessel which was captured by them was taken note of by the American Government, In all cases the value of the vessels seized were taken by deposition on oath, and in all cases a claim was made for compensation on this country. The Government always resisted these claims, but that was the most serious part of the matter, and he contendei that in such cases every man ought to constitute himself a detective policeman in order that these proceedings might be frowned down. By every feeling of reciprocity towards the American people [LEFT SPEAKING.] Proposed Street Improvements in the City. A somewhat ambitious project has been submitted to the Corporation of London by Mr. Greenhill, the engineer, which, if carried into effect, would produce as great a change as can well be conceived in the s,reets, levels, and architecture of all the leading thoroughfares in the western part of the city. When we state that it proposes to obviate the necessity fur a viaduct over Ludgate-hill, to make the hill itself almost level, to roll the two intended bridges at Blackfriars into one, to carry an underground railway along the line of New Bridge-street and Farringdon street, and to raise Holborn valley nearly to the level of Newgate-street, probably enough will have been said to en title the scheme to consideration at least, if it were only for its novelty, and still more for its daring, inasmuch as it implies the destruction of the whole of the existing houses on each side of Farringdon and Bridge street, and probably the greater part of those on either side of Ludgate bill, with corresponding changes in the approach to Black friars-bridge from the Surrey side. A street from Black friars to the Mansion-house, by way of St. Paul's Cathedral, is also part of the plan. At the outset the scheme, what ever its merits, has to contend with ihe grave objection that it comes before the public too late in the day, seeing that the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company for some months past have been vigorously engaged in the con struction of their viaduct across the Thames, and that an Act of Parliament has been passed enabling the Corporation of London to build their bridge at Blackfriar, from a design which they finally settled after more than a year's detention Mr. Greenhill meets this objection by suggesting that, inas much as a temporary bridge will be required for the accom modation of the traffic while the new bridge at Blackfriars is being constructed by the Corporation, advantage might be taken with that view of the works now in progress for the erection of the railway bridge. The plan of Mr. Greenhill may now be described more in detail, stating, by the way, that a model of it upon a large scale is now being exhibited h Guildhall and excites a good deal of interest. He first of all proposes what he calls a compound bridge at Blackfriars, for road and rail, thus doing away with the unsightly spectacle of two bridges side by aide and the danger which he says would be caused to the navigation, especially at that part of the river where there is a cross current, The road bridge would be uppermost, and that for the rail below, leaving about 26 feet of head-way at high water for the navigation. The gradient of the roadway approach to the bridge from the Surrey side would be about 1 in 40, and of that on the Bridgestreet side 'about 1 in 80. The bridge would be of iron, with five arches. Besides the primary object of carrying the London, Chatham, and Dover line across the Thames, he proposes to make the bridge available also for a railway communication between Hunger- tord and Waterloo stations,and the Metropolitan Railway ter minus in Victoria-street. Four lines of railway wquld run in a double i ow of arches, below the level of the streets, from the north end of ft e br:dge,along New Bridge-street and Farrin g don street,to communicate with the Metropolitan Railway at a gradient of 1 in 86 from the bridge to Ludgate-hill, and thence to Victoria-street on a level. The double row of arches would cover in the railway along Farringdon and New Bridge -streets. By this general arrangement it is sug gested that the necessity for a viaduct across Ludgate-hill would be avoided, and that the s.reets would be tree from the noise, smoke, and steam of a railway. It is an essen tial if not an unavoidable part of the project that the pre sent levels of Farringdon and New Bridge streets would require to be raised some six or eight feet, we be- lieve ; but the effect of that would be to improve the gra dients of Fleet-street and Ludgate-hill on the one hand, and of Holborn•hill and Skinner-street on the other. It is understood that the whole of the property on either side of the valley from Blackfriars-bridge to Snow-hill, and some considerable part of that at the lower ends of Fleet street and Ludgate-hill, would have to be pulled down and rebuilt in order to its being adapted to the rise in the street levels. A communication would be made between Earl-street and William-street by means of an arch under the railway ; also between Upper Thames-street and Now Bridge-street by an easy approach of 1 in 37 ; by Earl-street and the Thames Embankment, either under an arch of the bridge or by way of William-street and round the Gas Works. Mr. Greenhill also proposes a new street to St. Paul's, nearly level, to communicate with Cannon street ; a thoroughfare for carriages north of the Cathedral, and to widen Queen-street or other cross streets running trom Cannon-street to Cheapside, thus rendering unneces • sary the projected new street from Blackftiars to the Man sion .house. He also contemplates a branch railway from Victoria-street to Smithfield and Fit sbury. been Such b a r a r t the to r i t n h c e i palp cor f p e o a r t a u t r i o e n s a f n t d h project w e hich hi is n w ow c h h under stood a to be under consideration by a committee of the Court of Con men Council.—Times.

HUMBLE PIE AT THE FOREIGN OFFICE. — Britannia: "Now, Johnny, you know that those Bras nuts have disagreed with you, and Doctor Belgium says you did wrong, and that a little humble pie will do you good ; so eat it like a man."—Punch. HOTEL SCENE IN NEW YORK.—The colonel came in with his regimental paymaster, and called out to the clerk, "Here, you Sir I" "I am here," civilly re sponded the clerk. " Just hand ever de money dat belongs to our regiment in your safe; we are off to Washington dis afternoon." " There is your bill, colonel," said the clerk, putting before him an official -looking piece of paper. " Tam de pill; tam all pills," said the officer, not even deigning to I.ok at the amount. He and his staff had held high carnival with their friends for several days at his hotel ; the bill for dinners, champagne, &c., amounted to some £3OO. Yost must pay this, colonel, or allow me to take the amount from the regimental funds, or I cannot re turn your money.' I decline to. report the reply of the colonel. Being interpreted, it was an assurance to the clerk that he would not " bay de pill ;" that he would sea the clerk in the centre of the most tropical region of the next world before he would bay de pill ; that the Government might bay depill, or go to the same no latitude. The clerk remained firm under this torrent of German-American- English. The colonel, in his rage, sent the paymaster for the sentries at the door, and ordered them to charge upon the clerk, and compel him to deliver the funds. The clerk took a revolver from the desk before him. " There are four of you," he said; "there are six bullets here. 'Who wants the first one ?" He fixed his eye on the colonel, and it looked as though it would bore a hole through him, without the bullet. " Petter bay do pill," whispered the paymaster to the colonel. The bully in the colonel was cowed, and the paymaster saw that he might act. "I am de one to bay pills," said he. An amicable surrender of the funds, minus the amount of the bill, was soon effected, the clerk keeping his revolver in convenient proximity during the transaction. The colonel and his men withdrew, and the clerk called out cheerfully, " Here's the key, Grierson. You can have your baggage up, and the chamber ma id will do up the room while you are at dinner.

THE DEATH OF A "FEMALE BLONDIN" AT BIRMINGHAM. Mr. DOULTON gave notice that he should to-morroN: ask the Secretary of State for the Home Departmen whether the owners of licensed places of public entertain ment were responsible for the safety of life and limb of per sons undertaking to perform dangerous feats; and if not, whether he would undertake to introduce a bill next sessk , to amend the law, enabling the police or other local authe rities to compel the adoption, in every case, of steps whicl, would prevent a recurrence of so shocking an accident a that which had occurred at Birmingham, by which a won= had lost her life. NON•REMOVAL OF CONVICTS-BERKSHIRE Mr. WALTER said some time since a batch of prisoner' were sentenced to penal servitude at the Berkshire assizes and had been detained in Reading gaol until within th, last few weeks, instead of having been removed, in th ordinary way, to the Government gaols. Parliamen annually voted a large sum of money for the maintenanc,• of these prisoners. Owing to the long period the convict; specified had been left .in the Reading gaol, considerable cost had been thrown upon the ratepayers. In consequene+ of this a charge of £2OO was made upon the Home-office. which was referred to the Treasury, which replied ther: was no precedent for making such a payment, and refuse , ' to accede to it. He desired to learn from the right hon. baronet the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether, in cases of this kind, counties were not entitled to compensation? Sir G. GREY replied that it was the practice of the Go vernment to remove prisoners from the county to the Go! vernment prisons as quickly as possible, but this, of course, depended upon there being room in those prisons for their reception. Unfortunately, in consequence of the increase of crime, it had been found very difficult to find room for all the prisoners, and he regretted that in consequence serious inconvenience had been caused to some of the, county gaols. It had been considered by the Government. whether, when prisoners were detained an unusually long time in the county gaole r s sum of 4s. per week ought not to be paid for each. Nothing, ho wever, had yet been done. Additional cells had been constructed in the Government gaols, and he could only hope that the inconvenience com plained of would not occur again. CATHOLIC REFORMATORY, LEICESTERSHIRE. In reply to Mr. CAVE, Sir G. TREY said he was sorry that the reports of the inspector had been of the most unsatisfactory kind, and he ttad recently instructed him to intimate to the managers unless an amendment t)ok place the eertificata would be revoked. Since then he had been informed by the inspec tor that the institution had been placed under new manage ment, and that a great improvement had taken place. Fur ther, he had instructed the inspector to pay an early visit to the institution and to report thereon. STATUTE LAW REVISION BILL. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, on moving that the house go into committee, briefly explained its nature. It was based upon the labours of two commissions which had respectively cost the country £37,000 and £21,000, and had been contemplated for a length of time by the Government. Such a measure was imperatively necessary, and would, in his opinion and that of the Government, work exceedingly well. Sir F. KELLY stated several objections which he enter tained to the bill, and expressed his regret that it was not framed upon the recommendation of the Statute Law Com mission,which had been disregarded and departed from. But nevertheless it was a good and important measure. Unless, however, they accompanied expurgation by consolidation they would do little good; indeed, this was the only way to destroy anomalies. He earnestly pressed upon the Go vernment to adopt his suggestion, and so make this great and excellent work, as far as it went, thoroughly practical. He hoped the bill would be followed by other remedial measures. Mr. HENNESSY contended that a bill of this important hind ought only to be introduced in a committee of the whole house, and as from its voluminous nature there was no time to consider it this session, he moved that the house go into committee this day week. Mr. J. B. SMITH seconded the motion. Sir H. CAIRNS strongly supported the bill. Wh en th e proposed scheme in its entirety was carried cut, the 43 sc h e mes which conta ined the operative statutes would be compressed into about eight. Mr. HENLE Y said the bill had only b een pr i nted nine days, wh i c h, looking to its voluminousness, was totally inadequate fo r its proper consideration by that h ouse , and therefore he advocated its postponem en t unt i l next session., A c curacy was o f g reater conse quence than speed. 1 permit the hou se t o go i nto h d ad e f ect iv o carefully a s a compendious revision c' OE Let not t he house earn the c haracter 1t3:7.

Hence he should support the motio; for dela). The SOLICITOR-GENERAL replied. Tho opposi. tion to the bill was conceived under a misapprehensio which, on account of the voluminousness of the subjec' was very difficult to dissipate. It was impossible to avoi taking a good deal upon trust. No good would arise fro deferring the bill to the next session, because they C6ll. only go over the same ground, and again arrive at same result, namely, that the bill before the house, or similar one, was imperatively required for the consideratie of the law. Mr. HENNESSY withdrew his amendment. The SPEAKER explained that bills having reference t. religion and trade must be originated in committees of tl whole house; it was not so, however, with bills that cam down to that house from the House of Lords. The house then went into committee. Mr. HENNESSY moved that the Chairman report pr. gress. The question was put and negatived. On the motion that the preamble be agreed to, Mr. HENNESSY moved that it be postponed. The bi; he said, proposed to repeal the 15Th Charles 11., c. 1 on the ground that the Commissioners of Inland Revery: had informed the Government that it was not in force. T 1 bill empowered penalties and double costs on commissions! giving improper judgments to the injury of havers at, publicans. Such a summary mode of proceeding as th, was exceedingly objectionable. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL explained that this ea had been dealt with in past consolidations. The clauses were agreed to after a short discussion. On the schedule, Mr. HENNESSY moved that all the words affectir l Magna Charttr be omitted. The bells were rung for a division, but on the questicr being put the schedule was adopted in its integrity. Th; other schedules were agreed to. The bill then passed through committee, and was orders for third reading to-morrow. BRITISH COLUMBIA BOUNDARIES BILL, This bill was read a second time. COLONIAL ACTS AMALGAMATION BILL.
