tees to raise 2,0001. for the repair of the church and '.4„
levy church-rats; thus tale;ng church rates oat of th,: Item_
eel law in that parish. However, he sh iuld not ..qapose the
bill no that ground. The great objection that he bad to
the bill we. that it required the cont.acuptiou of in
certain manufactories in which, in the present state of
ecienec, that was impossible, and lie should wish to propose
an amendment.
The SPEAKER said the hon. member could not, in the
pr.sent stairs of the bill, propose an amendment.
Mr. A. PELLATT mitt Ee inould hare proposed a clause
that *rooke should be consumed in all manufactories where
the President of the Royal Society, or the President of the
Society of Civil Engineers certified that it could he done.

The bill was then read a ;eeood time.
On the motion that the bill bt ',acted to the select corn_
mittee
Mr. com-
mittee,
rATE suggested that great inconvenience
might e.lts from referriog different bills to the same coat-
m'....see. If the bills were the came in principle there was no
gee-ssity for more thee one bill. If the bills were not the
same in principle it wu throwing upon the committee the
responsibility of deciding between them.
Sir .1. PAKINGTON thouzht the chow of the hon. mem-
ber for liiimaremek was quite correct.
Mr. 0. BUTT said that it was the wish of the com-
mittee to have the two bills before them.

The bill was then referred to the select committee.

LEASING POWERS (IRELAND) BILL.
00 the motion that this bill be committed,

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE objected that the bill Was a govern-
ment order of the doe, it having been introduced by the
late government, under the auspices of the right hen. gentle-
man opposite tHr. Napier). Coder these circumstances it
ought to be postponed till the erders of independent mem-
bers were disposed of. He should, therefore, move that the
order he postponed till after the other orders.
After some &Nevem:vim,
The SPEAKER decided that the bill could not be am-
aidered a government bill now.
The house then went into committee on the bill.
Clauses up to 5 were agreed to.
Oa clause 5, which refers to the power of incumbraucers

over *MUM,
Cot. DONNE and several other members objected that the
power given to incumbrancers by this clause was too great
and eztensive.
Mr. N Amu. said that he would consider the objection►,
and be hoped to be able to modify the clause in such a way
as woold obviate them.

After some further discussion the clause was agreed to.

On clause fs
Mr. WM-ARON moved to omit the j rOViSiOnS relating
to mines
Mr. NAPIER ohjeeted to the amendment, which was
supported by Sir I) NORUKYS and Mr. V. SCULLY.
Mr. F. FRENCH suggested the withdrawal of the
amendment. _

CONCLLY suggested that for the term of 41 years
leases of raises. the term of 31 yew should be substituted.
Mr. NAPIER said the words were "nut exceeding 41
years."
Mr. M MAHON then withdrew his amendment.
The clause was then agreed to.
Clause 7 was agreed to.
On clause 9,
Sir It. FERGUSON moved in line 20 to omit the words,
" import and imply." end insert the word " contain."
Mr. NAPIEIt said it was rather a qu.stion of convey-
ancing. and he thought the provision sufficient.
Mr. 11.11AlION supported the amendment.
The committee divided—
For the amendment

Oa dues 9,
Mr. 'MAHON moved to omit the word " conditions,"
which was withdrawn, and the clause agreed to.
Clause 10 was under discussion, when
Sir J. GRAHAM interposed, and expressed a hope that
as there was a bill which the government wished to ad.
Vance a stage, the chairman would he allowed to report

progress.
The CHAIRMAN then reported progress ; sad the house
resumed.
COMBINATION OF WORKMEN BILL.
This bill was read a third time, and paseed.
SOAP DUTIES. .

The holm went iatisZesmltte;;;the soap duties.
On the resolution remitting the duty being put,
Mr. IRE WEN complained that he and his constituency
had been ill-used by the government and the Chancellor of
the Ezehequer ; inasmuch as, when he brought forward a
motion for the repeal of the hop duty, the only answer he
got was to wait for the budget, but when that scheme was
announced, no mention was made of that duty. If the
forms of the house allowed, he would move an amendment
on the resolution to the effect that, iustead of the soap duty,
the bop duty should cease sod determine.
Mr. BOUVERIB—The point of form depended on whe-
ther the question was the consideration of the excise duties
generally, or the excise duty on soap only. That appeared
to him to be the order of the day, and therefore the hon.
member was precluded from moving his amendment.
Mr. FRE WEN wished to have the opinion of the right
hon. member for North lisunpshire (the Speaker) on the
point. (A laugh)
The SPk:AK EH (who was sitting on the Treasury bench)
said he was afraid the member fur North Hampshire was
not the highest authority when the house was in committee.
(" Hear, hear," and a laugh.) He would, however say
that it the question, was the consideration of excise duties
generally, the amendment might be made; bat here the
excise duty ea soap being the question the amendment
would not be rel ta nd could not be nimbi. (Hear, beat.)
Mr. IItEWEN only regretted that the formes ad* keno
prevented his moving the amendment, but be would nap
the natter year after year till the duty was repseled.
The resolution was agreed to and reported te the bee"
end lea,. given to bring in the bill.

ELECTION EXPOSURES.

Yesterday the evidence, which vras pure tautology
ea that of days preceding, related exclusively to the treat-
ing of voters, I:clown:en, and others to unlimited breakfasts
and beer in the Great George Warden the palling sad nomi-
nation days, and was of a nature that would not be read-
ably interesting. The only matter of note was the unac-
countable absence at one period of the proceedings of all
the connect for the sitting meridiem, in consequent, of
which the committee had to adjourn for their re-ap-
pearance.
