THE DAY'S NEWS.

In the House of Lordi' yesterday, the royal
assent was given to the bills read a third time
and passed the previous day. The report of the
Bankrupt Law Amendment (Scotland) Bill was
agreed to. The Public Improvement Bill and the
Common Lodging-houses (Ireland) Bill passed
through' committee. The Marquis of Clanricarde
moved for returns respecting the treatment of the
natives in India by European planters. He
further presented a petition from natives of India.
After some discussion, in which Lord Ellenborough
advocated certain radical reforms, the motion was
agreed to.
In the House of Commons yesterday, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, in reply to various
questions, said that it was not intended to deprive
the holder of the wholesale wine license at
£lO lOs of any privilege he possessed at present.
Mr. Griffiths asked the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs whether the French Government
had intimated that, under certain contingencies
in Italy, France would claim further territorial
compensation. Lord John Russell said no. In
answer to Mr. John Locke, Lord J. Russell said
that no information had reached the Govern-
ment to the effect that Russia had concentrated
troops on the Pruth, or the Turks at Widdin.
A despatch had been.received stating that in the
opinion of M. Thouvenel any action in reference
to the present state of Turkey should not be on
the part of any single Power, but of the five
great Powers in concert. In reply to Mr. Had-
field, the Chan'cellor of the Exchequer said that
he intended to introduce a bill to authorise inland
-bonded warehouses. Mr. Slaney moved a reso-
lution to the effect that the Government or
Parliament ought to take steps to inquire how
places of recreation may be provided and secured
for, the people, which was negatived without a divi-
sion. Lord Haddo moved a resolution condemning
the exhibition in schools of art of nude females,
which, after some discussion, was negatived by 147
to 32. The house then entered on the subject of
turnpike roads and bridges, 'and Subsequently on
the condition of the gun-boats, which ended in
nothing for the present. Lord Palmerston par-
tially defended prize fighting, but did not object
to enquiry. Some Irish business then occupied
the attention of the house to its adjournment.
Some of the Ministerial journals are still
denying the
_right of the House of
_Lords to
refine its assent to the bill_ for. repealing the
paper * thity,—as though any legislative body
would ever, with any reason or justice, be required
to Assent to a measure it not only did not approve,
but was convinced would be mischievous. " If,"
it i's absurdly argued, " the repeal of the paper
duty-is a mistake, it is a mistake for which the
Comraoris, not the Lords, are responsible, and
whict-the Conunons," not the Lords, will hereafter
have to repair by imposing some new tax in its
stead." But this would only hold good if legisla•
tioii on the subject were exclusively and entirely
in the-hands of the Commons. The Lords are
responsible if once they give their assent to it.
Could the bill be passed into law without the
assent of the Lords, the case would "be different.
But the Lords are asked to give .it,their legisla-
tive sanction, and approval; and this they may
grant or Withhold, according to their judgment,
and at their discretion. It is all nonsense, then,
Ito
say—as we see it said—that "the Commons
havedeCidesl that the duty ought to be repealed;
and it is with the Commons, not with the Lords,
that the deciiion properly rests." It is with the
Commons, not with the Lords, that measures of
taxation mist originate, and must first be
deterinined Upon ; the Lords cannot, nor do they
ever attempt to do so. But when any bill of the
kind comes up to them for their assent, although
they might not originate, and cannot alter, they
may yet reject it. Such is their undoubted con-
stitutional right ; and it would be monstrous were
it otherwise. Why, if the Commons had it all
their own way, as it is contended they ought to
have, they might some day, in a Radical-Reformed
Parliament more especially, pass a bill imposing
the whole taxation of the kingdom on the Lords,
and exonerating themselves and the whole com-
monalty of the reel4:ll And, according to the
Radical reading of Parliament gy rights and
privileges that is now so unscrupulously put
forth, the Lords must of necessity assent. to a bill
thus confiscating their own• property ! lt is quite
true, we admit, that "the House of Commons, not
the House of Lords, is the' keeper of the public
purr. The House of Commons, not the H 011.40
