Mr. FERRA.ND gave notice that, as soon as he could after
Easter, he should call the etiolation of the house to the
cotton Ueda, with a view of seeing whether measures could
not be adopted to remove the unemployed operatives of the
manufacturing districts where they bad been so long living
ki unwilling idleness.
ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS AND REGISTRIES.
Mr. H. SEYMOUR asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether it was the intention of her
Majesty's government to introduce, this session, any mea-
sure for the reform of the ecclesiastical courts and registries?
Sir G. GREY replied that a bill was in preparationon the
subject.
CHURCH BUILDING ACTS.
Mr. H. SEYMOUR wished to know if the Chunk
Building Acts had been consolidated • and, if so,
when her Majesty's government would introduce a bill upon
the subject.
Sir G. GREY said a bill was in course of preparation, and
he hoped to bring it in before Faster.
ADMINISTRATION OF THE POOR LAWS.
HIBBERT asked the President of the Eoer-law
Lcard, whether it was his intention to move for the reelE-
/ointment of the select committee on the administration of
the poor laws ; and, if so, whether he would defer the intro-
duction of the bill to continue the Poordaw Board until
such committee should have reported to the house.
Mr. VILLIERS said it was his intention to re-appoint
the committee on the poor laws, and in deference to the
expressed wish of the house in a former session be should
present their report before he introduced his bill.
REMOVAL OF HOUSES IN BRIDGE-STREET.
Sir J. SHELLEY asked the First Commissioner of
Works when the bowies left standing on the south side of
Bridge-street were to be entirely removed, and whether or
not amngements had been made with the tenants in pos-
session for giving op their Interests ; if not, what was the
course the Office of Works intended to pursue with regard
to that portion of the property'
Mr. CO WPER said all the houses on the south side of
Bridge-street would be cleared away before the close of next
year. Agreements bad been made with all the tenants except
two. Ove was a leaseholder, wham lease would expire next year.
Feedall's hotel was a place of great resort during the sitting
of parliuneet, and he should be unwilling to put persona
sung it to inconvenience by pulling it down before it was
required for the public service. It seemed right not to im-
pose epos the public funds the °exult', of paying the
amount of compensation awarded by a jury, which might
possibly be very great, it the compulsory powers of the
act were put in force. He had therefore not thought it
necessary to apply the powers of the act to that particular
tenancy. (Neer, uar.)
THE ROYAL PROCESSION.
Sir G. BOWYER asked the &eatery of State for the
Home Department whether, having regard to the desire of
the citizens of London to show all possible respect to her
Royal Ilighnesa the Princess of Denmark, sod the wish of
the public outside the (11,y to see the full solemnity of the
procession oext Saturday, arrangements would be made
for the Lord Meyer and the City procession to attend her
Royal Iliglmess as far as Paddington. It appeared the
object of leaving the City authorities at Temple Bar was
to enable the procession to proceed at a rapid rate to Pad-
dington.
Captais STACPOOLE wished to know whether any pro-
vision luid been made for the members of that house to
join in the procession.
Sir G. GREY said this was the lint time be had heard It
stated that the procession was to proceed at • raped rate
from Temple-bar to Paddingtes. He thought he had ex-
plained himself dearly on Friday night that the City se-
thoritits would take precedence up to Temple-bar, and
that they would then give place to the other loud anther-
rities, who had so equal right with the civic authorities to
take precedence in their own districts. (Hear, hem.) The
Lord Chamberlain, through whom the communications with
the City had been chiefly carried on, had informed him that
he had received a letter from the authorities of the Ci ity
expressing their satisfaction at the arrangement! that
had been made, and they had been finally made with the
concurrence of all persons who from their local consexioes
were entitled to take part in the procession, and to make
any cheap now in the order must, he thought, only lead to
disorder and confusion. (Hear, hear.) He begged to state,
in answer to the boo. and gallant member (Captain Stac.
poole), that no place had been astigned to members of
that house. Except those in the carriages forming
the royal corfkge, the only porous who would take part
in the procession were those who, from some local authority
or other jurisdiction, were fairly entitled to have their
wishes complied with. (Haar, hear.)
Sir 0. BOWYER wiebed to know what arrangements
had been made with regard to the civic procession, whether
it was to go bared Temple-bar.
Sir G. GREY—It is not to go beyond Temple-bar. There
the other Authorities will take precedence, and conduct the
royal piety to Paddingtoe.
Mr. WALTER wished to ask another question in ron-
nexion with this subject. He was anxious to know what
arrangements would be made for the regulate* of the pas-
senger traffic in the streets during the night of the illumina-
tes". (Hear. hear.)
Sir G. GREY said that carriages would not be excluded
from the streets on the night of the Illuminations. He had
communicated with the Chief Commissioner of Police on the
subject, who had said that be was endeavouring to make
arrangements for an open space to be kept in the centre of
the street.. which weak' enable carriages to pus from one
part of London to another. Petunia wishing to eft the
Blumioatioas in carriages would have to gees on either side
of the med.
Mr. PAULL could not, even yet, clearly nederstancl
whether the civic authorities were to atop entirely at
Temple-ter or follow is the rear.
Sir G. GREY said that would depend very much upon
the civic authorities themselves. There would be so ob-
jection to the Lord Mayor following, but he believed, how-
ever, it was not his intention to dc so. Wear, hear.) The
Sheriffs of London being also Sheriffs of Middlesex would
retain their places in the procession. and accompany it to
Paddington. He had just received information that an
offer was made to the City authorities that they might
follow if they pleased, but they replied, if they could not
precede they would not go say further than Temple-
bar hear.)
CARRIAGES IN THE PARE.
In answer to Mr. Borrow, •
Mr. COWPER said it bad been settled that only the
royal crariagee would be allowed to pass through the
centre of the park between the lieu of the volunteers. It
was expected that a large number of persons would be there
on foot, aid it was thought out desirable to allow persons
on horseback to ride an the grass, with the exception of
officers on duty with the volunteers, or other persons im-
mediately connected with the royal procession.
THE DISTRESSED OPERATIVES AND THE COLO.
NIES.
Mr. HIBBERT asked whether it was true that MOW
vessels were being prepared et Chatham to convey the die
teemed operatives to our eoloniee at the expense of the
goverment.
Lord C. PAGET replied that be was not aware of any
such intestine on the pert of leer Majesty's government.
