LONDON NECROPOLIS AND NATIONAL
MAUSOLEUM BILL.
Lied BEDESDALII moved the second reading of this
bill.
The East of SHAETESBL'IlTobjected to the measure.
The compaay takulated that they would be able to secure
ose• half at two. thirds of the dead bodies of peeress dying
in and about London, but that was a most exaggerated esti-
mate. Unless, however, they tould means some 30,000 or
40 000 corpses us a year it was impossible for them to ware
the preliminary expenses of the undertaking. The bill was
altogether subversive of the priaeiple established by the
Interment, Act, pared last year; but there should he no

should be s distinction between the Lariat of paupers and
artisans. Thor graves of paupers might h, openid so often
as the cowpony pleased for the interment of other curpses—
a provision which was most objectionable un the score of
public health sad deeeney. A great call was no doubt in-

b. properly ttheted in a way which would be consistent
with the requi.ites of public health and decency.

the noble earl. The burial of the pour ought to be the
subject of public supervision. Ile entirely objected to

the dead.
The Earl of CHICHESTER was understood to defend
the bill, hut was quite inaudible in the gallery.

prospect of a general measure being passed on the subject,

The bill was then read a second time.

SURRENDER OF CRIMINALS (CONVENTION
WITH FRANCE) BILL.
he E irl of MALMESEURY propoied the second read-
ing of this bill. Up to this moment France and England
bail not been plated on an equal footing on this subject.
Whilst the convention signed in 1843 acted well as regarded
English criminals who absconded to France, it did not
practically give to that country the power of obtaining the
surrender of their criminals by Eugluaid. There was a
cousiderable difference between the laws of the two
countries with reference to the power of magistrates to
commit offenders. There was considerable difficulty here
in proving the identity on oath, and it was impossible for
magistrates to detain persons accused until they could get
evidence from the other side of the channel. The conse-
quence had been to phice France in the position of hoviog
a negative convention, so much so, in fen, that out of
founees warrants issued for the surrender of criminals in
this country, thirteen had miscarried. and only one eri-
mine, had been taken, and that was in I ereey. It was im-
possible to expect the French government to endure
such • state of things so unfair towards themselves,
without remonstranee. The existing convention was
signed in 1843, and he believed that in 1843 the noble earl
opposite (the Earl of Aberdeen) attempted to improve that
convention, and a draft, he believed, was actually drawn
up. but for some reason it never came to maturity ; and be
was informed that in 1848, in mosequenee of the French
resolatiou, no more notice bad been taken of it until his
predecessor is office and the French ambassador laid the
foundation of the present convention, which extended the
number of criminals for mutual surrender. The convention
motained an article which he hoped would give entire se-
curity to political effendi's, and he must say that the French
"overman' had met him on this point with great frank-
eels. He was authorised by the French ambeasadur to state
that my provision which the wisdom of parliament or the
kagesuityof the legal profees'on could suggest, so as to se-
cure political Oft alms from being surrendered, the French
government would accept. He was aware that many im-
provements could he made in the bill, but it was of great
importance that an one-sided convention shosiM not be esta-
blished ; and he was afraid that the French govern-
ment. after waiting a long time in the hope of obtaining •
fair convention for both nations, would, if they could not
now sneered in their object, throw amide the convenden
altogether. (Hear, hear.)
The Earl of ABERDEEN gelled the attention el the
house to the greet difficulty of the subject, and eljesked
the retroppeetive operation of the WU, which was made I.
apply to all offences committed sieve 1813. He woad aet,

MAVNOOTII ADJOURNED DEBATE.

FILESIIFIELD in re-opening the debate, observed,
that the motion for iniairy had not boon opposed apes asp
general ground; had at bees to repeal the act of lb* be
could understand why it should be resisted, but all that
was Joked was an inquire whether certain allegations as
to the teaching at Maynnoth ware true, or rather
whether thtre shnuld be as inquiry which, according
to Mr. ficrj^ ant Murphy, would- only redound to the
credit of the college. The cense:endow doubts of
the people of England, as to whither the objects of
the Institution were fairly eanied out, and the grant was
properly applied, ought to be set at rest. The coarse of
those who advocated the motion was not aggressive, but
drfeadve.

Mr. 11. IIEfiBERT, in opposing the motion of Mr.
Spooner, propose ,1 to test his sincerity by inviting him to
adopt, inetvil of that motion, en amendment which he (Mr.
Herbert) bad put upon the netice paper, but which he
