IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
in the HousE OF LORDS, July 15, Lord Granville asked
schen papers relative to the Berlin Congress would be laid on
the table, and whether it was the intention of the Govern-
Ment to make any statement on the subject.
The Duke of Richmond and Gordon, in laying on the table
a map showing the territory as settled by the Congress, said
that the Plenipotentiaries were ,nipected to arrive in London
ou Tuesday, and it was the in`mntion of the Prime Minister
to make a statement on Thy.rsday,
_ The Lord Chancellor -moved the second reading of the
Charritable Trusts Bp the object of which was, he explained
tio ,
to emedy scmle ,fficulties which had arisen in the opera-
n of the existi•Ag' law.

mcellor, and Lord Selborne, the Bill was read a second
In reply to a question from Lord Oranmore and Browne
to the unhealthiness of the island of Cyprus, •
The Duke of Richmond and Gordon said that on the whole
the climate of Cyprus was considered very healthy.
Lord Granville expressed a hope that the Government
*mild take means to obtain the best information on the
subject.
On the motion that the Commons' reasons for disagreeing
to tome of the amendments made by the Lords in the Poor
Law Amendment Act (1876) Amendment Rill be considered
a short discussion ensued, and in the result the words
pauper or" were reinserted, on a division, in the first page
of the Bill, by 41 to 27.
The Foreign Jurisdiction Bill and the Public Health
(Ireland) Bill were read a third time and passed.
A Bill empowering the experimental use of steam on
tramways was, after a discussion, postponed for a week.
Lord Cranbrook stated, in answer to Lord Waveney, that
he failed to see any reason for changing the system under
'which the Indian native troops are officered.
s. The Duke of Cambridge said his recent experience of the
Indian troops at Malta had delighted him with their work-
ing, the men being most loyal and orderly, and in every
respect deserving a position among the rest of the Army.
Some further discussion took place on the subject, and
their lordships rose shortly before eight o'clock.
In the HOUSE OF COMMONS, Mr. Otway gave notice °Mils
Intention to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether

raoved a Resolution giving precedence to the Government
business on the remaining Tuesday evenings and Wednesday
afternoons of the Session, and the motion, after a short dis-
cussion was agreed to.
, Ur. J. Lowther briefly moved the second reading of the
-Irish Intermediate Education Bill, explaining that it
,Would place at the disposal of a Board of seven mem-
Gera a sum of £1,000,000 from the Church surplus, to be
aPPlied for the promotion of intermediate education, with-
out reference to religion or sect. The exhibitions and
Other prizes would be given to all corners, under strict
tegulations as to examinations, without asking any ques-
tions, and the provision for result fees would be protected
bY a conscience clause. Although the Government was
ready to submit every part of the Bill to criticism, he pointed
out that at this period of the Session it might be jeopardized
,
those criticisms were pushed to too great a length; and he
4oPed, therefore, that no extraneous topics would be intro-
duced.
Mr. a Lewis moved the rejection of the Bill, which he
believed would lead to the endowment of schools which
Were exclusively sectarian, and to this he attributed the
laPpressed enthusiasm with which the Roman Catholics had
received it.
Mr. Gladstone dissented altogether from this view, and
„ItlPported the Bill because he thought that on its lines
Justice might be done to the cause of Irish education
Without danger to the mixed system, and without
awakening bygone controversies over University endow-
tnents. Regarding " concurrent endowment" as an
obsolete principle, he believed that a large portion
°I the Irish University grievance might be removed
;uy acting on the principle of this Bill. The objec-
!,ion to the use of the surplus drawn from the Irish
church Act he did not regard as creating any difficulty;
an, (I, in conclusion, he made two suggestions—that the
clause for the payment of result fees should be omitted, so
that all the money might go direct to the scholars in the
Shape of exhibitions and prizes, and that the benefits of the
'ill should be extended to female students.
After a discussion, in which Mr. Newdegate, The O'Conor
