HONEST& AUDAX.

In the House of Lords on Monday the Land-
lord and Tenant (Ireland) Bill passed through

Societies Investments Bill was treated as a mea-
sure of "urgency," and the standing order
having been suspended, the Bill was read a

Wine Licenses (Ireland) Bill was read a third
time and passed. On Tuesday the East India
Loan Bill was brought up from the Commons
and read a first time ; the Fortifications Bill,

the Realm Bill, the Landlord and Tenant (Ire-
land Bill), and several other Bills were read a

On Monday the report of the Committee of
Supply having been brought up, Mr. Coningham
moved the rejection of the vote for the National
Gallery. On a division the vote was carried by
60 to 21. The vote for the model school at
Cork was opposed by Mr. Scully, and carried on
a division by 58 to 13. The Appropriation Bill
was brought in, and read a first time. The East
India Loan Bill, the Spirit Duties Bill, and the
Law and Equity Bill were read a third time
and passed. The Party Emblems Bill passed
through committee, the Attorney-General for
Ireland assenting to an amendment omitting the
operation of the Bill to a period of five years.
on the motion for the second reading of the
Divorce Court Bill, which had come down from
the Lords, Mr. Hennessy moved that the Bill
be laid aside, contending that the House of Lords
had infringed the rights and privileges of that
House by introducing a money clause into the
Bill. The Speaker said that the Bill was a
technical invasion of the privileges of the House,
and that he had already protested against it.
After some discussion the debate was adjourned.
On Tuesday Lord Palmerston withdrew the New
Zealand Bill, sent down from the Lords. The
Naval discipline Bill passed through committee
with aniendmeuts. The adjourned debate on the
Roman Catholic Charities Bill, and the amend-
ment moved by Sir. G. Bowyer to leave out
clause 1, was then resumed. On a division the
amendment was negatived by 70 to 13, and the
Bill was ordered to be read a third time. The
House then went into committee on the Court of
Chancery Bill, and disposed of the new clauses.
The Lords' amendments of the Ecclesiastical
Commission, kc. Bill, were agreed to by 35 to
18. On Wednesday the House went into Com-
mittee on the Union of Benefices Bill, when Mr.
Hubbard moved as an addition to clause 14, that
the scheme for the removal of any church or
parsonage shall provide for the erection of ano-
ther church or parsonage within the limits of the
metropolis. The motion was agreed to. Mr.
Vance moved a clause to the eflect that no scheme
for carrying out the provisions of the Bill
should be submitted to Her Majesty in Council
until it had been laid on the table of both Houses
of Parliament for two months. The clause was
agreed to. The Metropolis Local Management
Act Amendment Bill was withdrawn. On the
order for the third reading of the Boman Catholic
Charities Bill, Mr. Butt moved as an amend-
ment, that the Bill be recommitted with a view
to the amendment of the first clause. Sir G.
Lewis opposed the amendment, which was ulti-
mately withdrawn. The Bill was then read a
third time and passed. The Court of Chancery
Bill and the Party Emblems Bill were read a
third time and passed. On Thursday the Appro-
priation Bill. the Exchequer Bonds (E2,000,(100)
Bill, the Endowed Charities Bill, and the Naval
Discipline Bill were read a third time and passed.
In the order for resuming the debate on Mr.
Hennessy's amendment to the motion for the
second reading of the Divorce Court Bill, Lord
Palmerston reverted to the question of privi-
lege raised in a previous debate. There was no
doubt that the introduction of a money clause into
the measure by the House of Lords was an
invnaio mof the rights of the Commons. The
infringement was, however, slight and accidental;
and as the Bill was an important one, he sug-
gested that tho House should content themselves
with the protest already made by the Speaker,
and not sacrifice the measure altogether for the
present session. Sir J. Graham expressed his
concurrence in this suggestion, and after a short
discussion Mr. Hentnisy's amendment "that
the Bill be laid aside" was withdrawn. On the
motion for the second reading of the Bill, Mr.
Alallins moved as an amendment that the Bill
be read a second time that day month. On a
division the amendment was negatived by 43 to
11. The Bill was then road a second time, and

the standing orders having been suspended, the
Bill passed through committee. The Church
Temporalities (Ireland) Act Amendment Bill and
the Union of Benefices Bill were read a third
_ _

time and passed. Sir Do Lacy Evans moved
an address to the Crown praying that the recom-
mendation of the National Defence Commission
for the erection of a fortified work on Shooter's

Hill he carried into effect. He was arguing in

favour of his motion when the Hose as
counted out. On Friday Lord Palmerston stated
that the annexation of Savoy and Nice did not
at present form part of the common law of
Europe. On Saturday Mr. J. White, with re-
ference to the losses incurred by persons in the
paper trade, in consequence of their having
relied upon the finality of the votes of the House
of Commons, asked whether any mode could be en-
tertained for compensating them; and whether it
would be in future expedient to obtain the con-
currence of the house of Lords before any pro-
posal of the remission of taxation is made to
this House. Sir G. Lewis said the papermakers
had no claim to compensation; and as to the last,
he did not think any precedent for a change of
system had been established.

The progress of Garibaldi continues to be in
the highest degree encouraging. Despatches
from N spies announce that the General effected a
landing in Calabria with 8,000 men, on the 19th
lust. without opposition. His force disembarked
at Melito, Capo dello Anne, limners, and other
points of the mainland, and then took Iteg,gio,
the capital of the province. The latest news
states that a revolutionary movement has taken
place in the province of Basilicata, and that a
provisional government has been proclaimed at
Puteusa. The Neapolitan army was concentrated
at Monteleone, and a general battle was con-
sidered imminent.

There is every reason to believe that Oaribaldi
will be as successful at Naples as he was at PA-
lermo. But it is understood that he will push his
victories beyond Naples ; he aspires to free
Vent tia as he has freed Sicily, but here he will
be brought in direct antagonism with Austria,
and it is thought that, with a view to weaken
her, he will make the attempt to raise a revolu-
tion in Hungary. Ile desites to carry out the
programme of Napoleon 111., and make Italy
free from the Alps to the Adriatic—a grand
scheme, no doubt, but one which it is much to be
feared, is hardly capable of fulfillment. The hero
will be confronted with the whole power of
