PEERS OF SCOTLAND QUALIFICATION BILL.
The Earl of ROSEBERY moved the second reading d
the above bill; which. after SONO conversation, was read •
second time accordingly.
MESSAGES FROM THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Several bills having been brought up by hon. member,
from the Commons.
Lord 13ROUGII Ahf protested against the mode of bring-
ing up bills from the House of Commons as inconvenient and
requiring some alteration. The noble lord said that it was
his intention to bring the subject of the general business of
the house under their lordships' consideration on Monday
next, and he should call attention to the mode at present in
use of bringing up bills from the Commons' house.
BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION
RAILWAY.
Lord STANLEY withdrew his accusation, made on a
former occasion (June I ), against the directors of this ova-
pany, and stated that from the authority on which he did se
he had no doubt hie imputation was unfounded.
The Earl of DEVON moved that the petition of the chair-
man of the Birmingham and Oxford Junction, and the Bir-
mingham and Wolverhampton and Dudley Railway Coat-
panies (presented to the house on June 17), be refund to
the select committee on standing orders, with instroctiess Is
the said committee to report their opinion whether, in the
case of the Birmingham and Oxford aril 13' ,la and
Wolverhampton and Dudley Railways Amalgallill, it
may not be expedient, under the peculiar circometances of
the case, to dispense with the proof of the standing order
No. TDB, section 6, which requires that the said bill shall
be submitted to a speaal meeting of the proprietors of the
Birmingham and Oxford Junction 'Railway; and that the
said committee do proceed, at their meeting on Tuesday
next, to ascertain whether the other standing orders &poll-
sable to the said bill have been complied with, and to report
their decision thereon forthwith to the house.
Lord REDESDALE opposed the motion. There was
nothing whatever in the case before their lordships which
called for a departure from the standing orders. If their
lordships did not vindicate their standing orders, they would
=gortytheir judicial proceedings into contempt and in.
Lail ASHBURTON observed, that this was not a ques-
Man af mare private interests, but one of out public im-
pedes= He was decidedly favourable to the further in-
vestigation of the matter.
Lad BROUGHAM protested against the declared pur-
pose at parliament for a greet public object being frustrated
by thanwnennvree of private

He rzsposisi that this inquiry should be entrusted to the
railway oommisslooen. The great object was to settle, as
definitively as possible, the versa porseio of the gauges.
The motion was then agreed to, and their lordships
adjourned at twenty minutes after seven.
