of placing the sae of intoxicating liquors in the hands
of the I 'cal authorities. Mr. Trevelyan gave
.notice
that at a later pen" I he would moves resolution in
Iv or of the esjnalisation .1 the county and borough
fro, hise, and the reilitiileition of seats in order to
ii-iiiiris a better relir--ent itin of the ',evils.. Mr.
Isiatham gave notice Brit he would, on an early day,
call attention to the aloe's of private ecclesiastical
patronage. Lord i laway moved the a Wrens in
reply to her ..Majetity's speech, anil Mr. Tore
seconded the tootion. The Marquis of Hartington
said that bioking to the speeds he might say her
Nlajesty's Gov'ernment hail attained successfully to a
level, he would not say of dulness, but of repose and re-
serve. Me. 111wIstone who was loudly cheered, sai.l, in
the debates which would arise, he should be prepare.' to
stand by every word he hail written and spoken on the
Eastern subject. The charges of exaggeration which
had been made against himself he entirely repudiated,
lie decline,' to be responsible for any misunderstand-
ing that had taken place with regard to his speeches or
writings, but he thought they had convinced the
nations of Europe that the feelings of the British
1 nation hail been grissly misapprehended up to the close
of last session. During the last session the whole
subject seemed to be exclusively in the hsnils of the
Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary, and they
were not able to obtain a single declaration respecting
their responsibility. His own desire was that what
was right should be done, and it was without exception
the most solemn question the House had ever had to
discuss. The t'hancellor of the Exchequer had
mil, suggested that the leader of the i Iposition should
mo
take the speediest possible me putting to the
test the question whether there w a difference
between the country and the Government: bnt he
would say that if the right hon. gentleman was inclined
to assist his noble friend in doing so, he might bring
the matter to an issue by advising her Majesty to
dissolve Parliament. He was really acting as •
mediator.—Mr. G. Hardy concurred in the view that
this was not the proper time to discuss the question.
the right Ilion. gentleman hail good humoureilly aililsed
the Governtnent to take example by himself and
advise her Majesty to dissolve Parliament, but he
must say that the Government were perfectly satisfied
with the present l'arliament.—The motion was then
agreed to, and the House adjourned at twenty minutes
past nine o'clock.
FRMAT.
There WM practically no business in the orders of
the House of Lords on Friday night, and the attend-
ance was very scant. The Archbishop of Canterbury
having moved for a Select Committee to inquire into
the question of intemperance, their lordships ad-
journed.
The House of Commons showed a considerable
falling off in attendance as compared with the throng
14 the previous night. The approachito the consider-
ation id the business on the paper was blocked for 10
minutes by an addition to the large number of notices
of motion already given. Mr. Adam moved for
the issue of a writ for the Borough of Wilton
consequent upon the retirement of Sir E. Antrobus.
On Lord Galway's bringing up the report on the
Address in reply to the Speech from the Throne,
Mr. Grant Duff called attention to the omission from
the Speech of any reference to the cyclone in India.
Sir Stafford Northeiste frankly admitted that the
omission was ac idental, and was very much regretted
by the Goverment. The reissrt was then received,
and, its a thin House, Mr. Cnisis proceeded to move
for leave t i re-introduce his Prisons Bill. Dr. Kenealy
took the opportunity of calling attention to peculiar
hanlships allege.' to be inflicted upon Arthur Orton at
Darius sir prism. (fii the intention becoming apparent,
several lion. menibens crieil "Order," but the Speaker
made no sign, and Dr. Ker.ealy proceeded to the end.
Mr. Cross 'said he was not aware of any grounds for
the complaint, but promised that due inqiiiry should
be made. Leave was given to introduce the Bill, a
similar formality being gone through in the cases of
the Universities if Oxford and Cambridge Bill, intro-
lured by Mr. Gathorne }lardy ; the Prisons liill
(Ireland), intnidneed by Sir M. Hicks-Beach; the
Scotch Prisons Bill, by the Lorl-Ailvocate ; the
Justices ot Peace Hifi, by Sir H. Selwin-Iltbetson ;
and for some three score Bills by private members.
