IMPERIAL- PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-YESTERDAY.

Lord Wonsemess, in reply to the Marquis of Normanby,.
consented to laY on the table any papers of which the Govern-
ment might be in possession relative to the expedition of
Garibaldi to Sicily.
The Earl of HARDWICK' moved for a return of the gnn-boats
built by contract since 1852, the names of the contractors, and
the present condition of tke vessels. It was necessary to see
with whom the responsibility rested of the condition of these
vessels. Sir Baldwin Walker might be a very clever man, but
he was totally unfit for the office of surveyor of the navy. It
was more especially necessary that they should have full infor-
mation, inasmuch as new contracts amounting to a million
sterling had lately been entered into.
The Duke of SOMERSET said that he was perfectly willing to
grant the returns, which were similar to those already ordered
by the Efouse of Commons. He gave his assurances that all
the information in, the power of the Government should be
produced.

The Mama% of TOWNIIIEND said that inquiry was mos
necessary, and ought to be full and searching.

The motion wag agreed to.

Bankrupt Law (Scotland) Amendment Bill passed through

LIIIERTY OF THE PRESS IN SAGE GOTHA.—On the
sth inst. the editor of the daily paper published in
Gotha, 1%. Stollber.g, was sentenced to three weeks'
imprisonment fox inserting an article in his journal
which was considered to be an affront to a reigning

potentate in question, and it was considered no pallia-
tion of the offence that the unfortunate editor had only
copied the article from the London Times. A short
time since another German editor was similarly sen-
t/sated for the same kind of offence.
