IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—Y'ESTERnAIt•

On the motion for considering the Conimons' amendment to
the Conjugal Rivhts (Scotland) Bill, •
The Loan CitaNctmon moved that the said amendments
should be disagreed with. In the other House two clauses
had been strek oat, which, he contended, were of great im-
portance, and which he hoped that further consideration would
induce that House to reinstate in the measure.
The Motion was agreed to, and a committee appointed,•
according to the usual course, to develop the reasons for
dissenting from the Commons' amendments on the bill.
The Excise Duties Bill was read a third time and passed.
The East India Loan Bill, and the Spirit Duties Bill were
respectivtily read a second time.
'The Consolidated Fund Appropriation Bill, and s,,veral other
measures, were brought up from the Commons and read a first
time.
'their lordships adjourned at six o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.---YEsTEnmv,

:n the Tiouee. of COmmons, which tnei'at taro o'clock,

Lord PALMERSTON, replying to Mr. Maguire, stated. that'the
Government. had demanded compensation from the Govern-
ment of Paraguay for the cruel and unjust imprisonment of
Mr. Cronstall ; and, as this demand was refused, diplomatic
relations with that Republic had now ceased to exist.
Replying to Mr. H. D. Seymour,
Lord PALMERSTON afterwards mentioned that the Emperor
of the French had disclaimed all official connection with the
Suez Canal scheme—a project which the noble viscount cha-
racterised as one of the greatest delusions of modern times.
Mr. SPOONER having enquired whether Mr. Cobden was still
accredited as a British representative in Paris,
Lard PLLMERSTON said that Mr. Cobden was, fully atithorised
to complete the detailed arrangements consequent upon the
treaty of cminerce, and of which Only a few points still
remained to be settled.
The Consolidated Fend Appropriation Bill, the Exchequer
Bonds (A 2,009,000) Bill, the EndoWed Charities Bill, and the
Naval Discipline Bill, were read a third time and passed.
On the motion for the second reading of the Divorce Court
Bill,
Lord PALMERSTON reverted to the question of privileges,
raised in a previous debate. There was no doubt, as the Speaker
had ruled, that the introduction of a money clause in the
measure which had originated in the House of Lords was a
'technical invasion of the rights of the Commons.' flis infringe-
ment 'was, howeVer, slight and accidental. The bill was an
important one, and he suggested that the House should con-
tent themselves with the protest they had already made. and
not sacrifice the measure altogether for the present session.
Sir J. GRAHAM, though anxious to maintain in every respect
the privileges of the House, acknowledged that the invasion of
their constitutional rights was in the present instance some-
what microscopical, and scarcely justified the abandonment of
a useful bill.
Mr. Bouverie, Mr. Mellor, and Mr. Locke expressed their
approval of the course proposed by the Prime Minister ; and,
after some further discussion, closed by an ;explanation from
the Speaker touching the point of parliamentary form, the
amendment moved by Mr. Hennessy or. the previous day that
the bill be laid aside, was withdrawn. _ .

The House then proceeded to discuss the bill, to which Mr.
Malins Urged many objections, based principally upon the
ground that it would enable marriages to be dissolved by the
decision of a single judge. He moved as an amendment that
the bill be read a second time that day month.
The amendment was seconded by Sir G. Bowyer.
Mr. E. JAMES observed that the argument against the bill
contained a direct condemnation of the Divorce Court alto-
gether. That questjon was not now at issue. .The legislature
had e:tablished the court, and the present Motion was simply
designedlo-facilitate its working, and enable the judge to clear
off the arrears that accumulated so heavily.

The ATTORNEY -GENERAL urged that the bill was rendered
absolutely necessary by the state of business of the Divorce
Court. With regard to the objection of collusive suits, he
should propose an amendment in committee on the bill, which
would still further check such collusions. From all the in,or-
mation he could gather, the number of cases of, collusion had
only been four or five.
After some further discussion, the house divided, when the
second reading was carried by 43 to II . The standing orders
being suspended, the bill passed through its committee.
The Trustees and Mortgages Bill passed through committee.
The Union and Beneficies Bill as amended, was considered,
and read a third time and passed. The Church Temporalities
(Ireland) Acts Amendment Bill, as amended, was considered,
and read a third time and passed.
On consultation of the Lords' amendments to the Mines
Registration Bill, the amendment referring to junction was
reconsidered, and a conference appointed. The Lords' amend-
ment on the Landlord and Tenant (Ireland) Bill were consi-
dered, and agreed to, as were the amendments on Relief to the
Poor (Ireland) Bill.
Sir DE LACY EVANs moved that an humble address be pre-
sented to her Majesty, praying that she will be graciously
pleased to direct to be carried into effect the recommendations
of the royal commission on the national. defences, for the con-
struction of a fortified work on Shooter's Hill. calculated for a
garrison of 1,500 men to assist in the protection of Woolwich
dockyard and arsenal, and as an important element in the
means of defence for the metropolis; also praying that her
Majesty ,will be graciously pleased to direct a royal commis-
sion to be appointed to examine and report to her Majesty on
the lines of march available to an invading army advancing
against London; on the obstacles or positions which may be
occupied or prepared to obstruct or defeat ante nemy on
rt these
lines of advance ; and on the points yr appu, or suppoof
the national forces, ice their operations or manceuvreS in the
vicinity, and for the defence of the metropolis of ,the empire.
The gallant member was proceeding to explain his motion,
when the House was counted oat, sixteen members only being
present at eight o'clock.
