ment, and whether reparation had been demanded of or
voluntarily offered by the United States Government
Karl Stowell replied that the latest de-patehes of Lord
Lyon, COnt10.11•1 no reference to theca..., but he would
make inquiry into the matter. &viral bills were for-
warded a dais, and their lordships a Ijourned.
TiltrlttD•T.—Lord Russell said that, last week, in
reply to the Earl of Derby, be stated that in • few
days the Conference would either corn* ton agreement,
or ne.ociations be bribe's cif and hostilites recent-
metioed. He regretted to say that the latter alter-
native appeared to be moot probable ; but on Monday
next he would ley upon the table ell the papers and
protocols connected with the Conference and its pro.
*tedium., and at the name time make • statement on
the subject. Lord Brougham laid on the table a Bill
for the better prevention of bribery at election.; and

FRIDAT.— Bort Stanhope called attention to the
presrut position of the Royal Acad.:et, and inquired
what was the intention of the Gov. ronietit with respect
to the recommendations of the commissioners. Real
Gran•ille wort that the report of the comuilmioners had
been referred to the &dal Academy. wkicli had, in
reply, prewented an address to Her Majorty. who had
left the qnestion to the consideration of the Govern•
meet. The House of Commons had rejected the
propmal to leave the academy in Trafalgar-mind.e with
enlarged si are, and to that decision the Government
bowtd. Nothing would be mot* wroris• !him 1••• the
Government to take upon itself the regulation of the
fine art.; but without doing that ir might usefully
insist upon certain P gulations calculated to popularise
the academy, and make it moos rfilment for public pure
poises is return for the facilities so is& it received.
Government hal not had time to consider these details,
and he could not give a pledge as to any particular
course they might take. The Bills on the paper were
forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjourned.
