IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-YESTERDAY,

The Speaker took the chair at twelve o'clock.
Mr. COCHRANE asked the Home Secretary whether, having
r2gard to the high character of Mr. Evelyn, the Sheriff of
Surrey, and the misapprehension under which he issued the
placard blaming the conduct of Judge Blackburne, it was the
intention of Government to remit the fine of £5OO inflicted by

the Judges.
Sir G. C. Lewis said that the only way by which Mr. Evelyn
could obtain remittance of the fine was by petitioning the
crown. This Mr. Evelyn had not done. He had seen the
placard in question, and considered the steps taken by the
Judges in co lsequ ence as perfectly justifiable.
The Appropr ation Bill, and the Consolidated Fund
(E 2,000,000) Bill passed through committee.
The Militia Pay Bill, and the Metropolitan Force Dockyards
(No. 2) Bill were read a third time and passed.
The House then resumed the committee
.on the Union of
Benefices Bill.

On clause 14 an amendment Was moved by Mr. Hubbard,
providing that the scheme for the removal of any church or
parsonage shall provide for the creation of another church or
parsonage within the metropolis was agreed to after some
discussion. The clause itself, authorising the sale and removal
of churches, was then agreed to. •
A clause, proposed by Mr. Vance, that no scheme for carry-
ing out the provisions of the bill should be submitted to her
Majesty in council, till it had lain on the tables of the two
Rouses of Parliament two months, was likewise agreed to.

The bill then passed through committee.
The order for the second reading of the Metropolis Local
Management Act Amendment Bill was discharged.
On the motion of Mr. Tite the Endowed Charities, and the
Naval Discipline Bills, as amended. were considered.
On the order of the day that the Roman Catholic Charities
Bill be read a third time,
Mr. Burr, alleging that the bill as it stood was a penal one,
and that the law of superstitious uses might 1.•,•e injuriously
applied in consequence, moved the re-committal of the bill.
Sir G. C. LEwts objected, denying the danger, and observed
that if it arose the bill might be altered in a future , ession.
Lord PALMERSTON likewise urged the 'House to adopt the
'bill as it stood.

Mr. Butt having withdrawn his motion, the bill was read a
third time and passed.
The Court of Chancery Bill was read a third time and passed,
as was the Party Emblems (Ireland) Bill.
On the motion that the House go into committee on the
Church Temporalities Bill,
Mr. VANCF. objected to those portions of the bill which
allowed the commissioners to take money intended for the
repairs of the edifices, and apply it to augment clerical
Incomes, He likewise objected to the small incomes of the
officials of the Irish Ecclesiastical Commission.
The House then went into committee on the bill.

Mr. CARDWELL abandoned the first claue.ls referring to the
constipation of the Ecclesiastical Commission.

Clause 38, permitting the commissioners to apply msney to
the augmentation of small livings, was agreed to with an
amendment. _ _ _

Mr. VANCE moved a clause giving the regulation of the sala-
ries of the clerks of the Ecclesiastical Commission to the Com-
missioners of the Treasury. _ _ .

Mr. CARDWELL contended that the control of the salaries
should be left to those who had the control of the funds,
namely, the Ecclesiastical Commission rs.
Mr. NANcE, on the understanding that the claims of these
underpaid officials would be duly considered, withdrew his
clause.

The bill then passed through committee.
The Debtor and Creditors Act Amendment Bill was read a
third time and passed.
The House then adjourned at six o'clock.

THE SAVAGE CLUB PERFORMANCES IN
AID OF THE BROUGH FUND.

The members of this club have expressed themselves
as deeply gratified by the hearty reception which was
accorded to them in Liverpool, and also with the highly
successful result of their performance. After all claims
are discharged there will be upwards of £l5O available for
the above most deserving object. This sum of £l5O
does not include the subscriptions already received here,
which are, however, not so large as might have been
expected. We understand that the usual expenses con-
sequent upon a performance of this description have, in
the present instance, been considerably reduced by the
economical management of the local director, Mr. C.
Millward.

In Manchester. at the different public and newspaper
offices, very considerable sums have been received, and
from the following telegram, which was sent to us by
Leicester Buckingham, last evening, we are happy
to observe that, owing to the thorough success which
attended the performance of the club at Manchester, a
'very large additional contribution has been made by
that city to the fund :
(SPECIAL TELEGRAM.)
House crowded in every part. Many turned away,
unable to obtain admission. The first piece very well
played by the local amateurs. Burlesque excellently
received. Several encores. Result in every respect
satisfactory.

THE JULLIEN FESTIVAL AT THE

ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.

if the skies are only propitious, and we can hail
" post nubila Placebus" to-morrow, the Zoological Gar-
dens will doubtless contain one of the most crowded and
numerous audiences ever congregated within its walls,
or rather palings, though the attractions provided for
the benefit of Madame Jullien are. of themselves almost
sufficiently attractive to make a pleasure-seeker stand in
the open air for several hours of our present weather.
In fact, the very name of a "Jullien festival" is a certain
4, draw" in Liverpool ; and assuredly the present concert
—or rather series of concerts—will remind the numerous
admirers of poor Jullien of his best concerts in his
palmiest days. In the first place, the elite of Jullien's
late world-famed band will perform a selection of the
chefs d'ceurere of Jullien, D'Albert, and Prince Galitzin—
the programme including Jullien's " Last. Waltz," a most
graceful posthumous composition in every way Worthy
of the composer, and the charming pieces de danse of
the noble Russian amateur, Prince Galitzin, who will
occupy the part of conductor of the orchestra. Various
members of the band will also play solos. The cele-
i7ated band of. the Grenadier Guards will perform a
seleciiod of popular operatic and dance music, under the
direction o! Mr. D. Godfrey ; and Liverpool musicians
will be ably re:l:Presented by the band of the 4th Brigade of
the Lancashire colanteer Artillery, under the leadership
of the bandmaster, Mr. Rungeling, whose programme
contains several morceaw of his own composition. Miss
Poole, one of the most gennine and deservedly popular
of our native singers, is put down for three or four new
songs; and the Campbell Minstrels, by many considered
to be the most talented "Negro Minstrels" now before
the public, will give their amusing entertainment in the
course of. the evening—this unusually varied array of
attraction terminating with a pyrotechnic display of
unusual brilliancy. In conclusion, we would particu-
larly direct the attention of the public to the fact that
to-day (Thursday) the tickets are only one shilling ; to-
morrow, the day of the festival, they will be two
shillings. .

--------
LECTURES ON PIIRENOLOGY.—Mr. Fowler delivered
the third of his series of lectures on this subject, at the
Concert-hall, last night. The attendance, owing to'the
wetness of the weather, was not so large as we antici-
pated from the favourable manner in which his pre-
ceding lectures had been received, but those who were
present were hearty in their applause, and seemed much
interested in the able lecture which was delivered.
GRAND UNITED ORDER OF ODD-FELLOWS.-011 Mon-
day evening, after the procession of this body, as already
announced in our paper, the several lodges dined at
their respective club-rooms in town. The entertainments
were excellent, and were attended by large and respect-
able numbers of the brethren. Although it may appear
almost invidious to mention any one in particular, yet
we assure our friends of the body that in mentioning the
following we only wish to pay respect to all. The
" Royal George" Lodge dined at the Stanley Arms,
Manchester-street, where Host Thompson provided
everything that could delight the palate, and the evening
was spent in the greatest harmony and good humour,
which is the characteristic of the body. All the others
were equally happy, and in most instances the dubs
provided balls for their friends, and all passed off with
the utmost eclat; and we wish the brethren many happy
returns of this agreeable anniversary.
