LIGHTING AND VENTILATION OF THE HOUSE.
Sir DE L. EVANS caked whether the present system of
lighting the hood was under the management of Mr. Chu-
mmy, or in the charge of any one recommended by him.
Also, whether it was the intention of the Board of Works
to slier the system of ventilation of the home to meet the
°seditious panted oat by Mr. Gurney in his reports made
to the house last session.

Nit W. Koziswoßrn add that Mr. Ginn? had bees

pieted them. ibe dregs tad bees shoed ander Mr. Mu-
sa*, she bed bees appointed by John Manners. It
was ant the fellathe of the Board of Works to make any
alteration in the ventilation of the house.
Sir D. NORREYS said, that on Monday night the ther-
mometer is the gallery had stood at 73 deg., and the hest
wu the most oppressive ho had ever expenenced in the
house. lie wished to know whether the present arrange-
ment thc.t had been made in reference to tho ventilation had
been approved by the committee that was appointed by the
house to superintend the lighting, and ventilation of the
hour-, which committee comprised Mr. Locke and Mr.
Stephenson.
Mr. BRIGHT also wished t, ask whether there was any
prospect of the ventilation of the house being so improved
that th, y should not be in the condition of Sheffield
grinders. (Laughter.) There was so much dust contian-
lly in suspension, that he wu quite satisfied it must he

salting,' in some other building until the evil was rem-

Sir W. MULESWOR 111 (who ike with his Web to
the gallery) was anderitood to say that no altered°p had
been made in the ventilation of tie Douse sines last year.
' If these complaints continued, and, Mr. Meese. were not
able to ventilate the house to the satisfaction of hen. mem-
' hers, Mr. Gurney would be spin applied to. (Hear. bear.)
The great heat is the gallery on Moats night might pro-
!ably be owing to there being nearly 300 members mit He
attributed the dust to the continual coming in and going out
of members. (Laughter.)
NEWSPAPERS IN BARRACKS.
Sir J. V. SHELLEY asked whether any new order had
been made with reference to the admission of newspapers
into barracks, and if so whether there would be any objet
lion to state the subatomic* of it, or lay it on the table of the
house ?

Mr. 3. HERBERT said it bad been stated that a restrie-

tion had been imposed on the admission of newspapers to
barrack libraries, bat this was not the cue. The fasts were
as follow :—When he became Secretary at War he found
that no newspapers were allowed to be read in the
reading-room attached to the barracks, and the
math was, that the soldiers formed separate clubs for the
purpose of reading newspapers in public-houses and else-
where, which had a Nut effect. (Hear, hear.) He was of
opinion that there was no objection to their reading them in
the barrack libraries, and the order that had been issued
had not been a restriction, but an extension of the privilege
of reading newspapers in the library. It was to the effect
that they might read all newspapers, except those which
were of a controversial nature on religious subjects. The
house would agree with him that that was a very proper
restriction, seeing that the army comprised great diversi-
tke of religious opinion, and that newspaper articles on
those subjects were generally written with gnat acrimony.
It bad also been thought right to exclude newspapers in-
dulging in controversial remarks on matters of military
discipline. (Hear. hear )
Sir J. SHELLHY asked if that excluded the United
Service Gazette.

Mr. S. HERBERT—The United Stroke Griot& dis-
tinctly comes under tie denomination of one of the classes
that I have mentioned.
SCOTCH UNIVERSITY DEGREES.
Mr. W. LOCK HART embed if the attention of the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer had been drawn to the stamp duty
on every degree of doctor of medicine panted by the Uni-
versities of Scotland.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, be

should be very (Yid le NM enit Slinip ONO at • very
raoderate rate ; by bb linaglat Mr ben. sodenan was not
accurate in his Opends• r ea the ingodity at the pre-
sent *tamps. - _

SAYINGS BANKS.

Mr. MASSEY eked whether it was the intention of the
government to introduce any measure for giving additional
security to the depositors in uvings' banks.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, it was
his intention, es he bad stated in the early pert of the me
sloe, to lay on the table of the house a bill for improving
the constitution of savings banks, and patting it in the
power of those who so deposited their savings to have better
security than they
now enjoed.
THE LONDON AND EDINBURGH GAZETTES.
Mr. COWAN asked whether it was intended to proceed
with the bill for consolidating the London and Edinburgh
Gazettes, and whether the charge for advertisements would
be reduced to the public.
Mr. WILSON said, the object of the measure wu to re-
dnee both the pries of the papers and the coat of the adver.
tisementa. The public would have been enabled to possess
themselves of both Gazettes for nearly the same price
which they now paid fur one. However, there seemed to
be very great objection in Scotland to the mode in which
he proposed to accomplish this. He would not say that he
should abandon this mode ; but whatever mode were
adopted, its chef object would be to lessen the cut of the
papers, and also of advertising.
