The Led of STANHOPI—I appeal to
whether such laeguage is justifiable, and w=arkiriolill
to be tolerated in your lordahips' hones. I call n

alin dierespeetful to your lardshipe, but I can- .
net give up my feeling, of humanity, and I '
meet say the seta hon. gentleman le open to anything that
ma be said against him. During the year 1885, there were
180 porgies killed in the Wrests of Lasko, and 1,075
unlined. If I had seen the slightest disposition on the part
of the right hoe. baronet to take the subject up, I should
not have again troebled your lordships upon it. Having
awls them observations, whisk I think pertinent to the
subject, I will make a suggestion of a remedy. Most of
these accidents arise not from omnibuses or tabs but ftWill
the reckless driving of butchers' carts, and my
is that a mounted polio* should be established whgagitir"oullid
prevent amps of the party musing the accident after it
occurred ; sad the police should be empowered to take into
eastedy peruse driving at a furious rate. The Secretary
of State is answerable for them midgets, and I cannot help
wishing that it might enter Into the intention of her Ma- '
jesty's government to change the sex of the See,retary for

Zen OBICNVILLE said it was too mash to make
her Majesty's government responsible for the accidents
which occurred in the streets of London, sad he really
thought that if there was any advantage I. ministerial re.
sponaibllity it had Ibsen brought to an absurdity by the
noble marquis, who, in most improper sod unparthuseatery
language, had attacked the Secretary of State for the Home
Depsetmest, for which he was most properly called to order
by the DOUG earl on the cross benches. So far from the
Home Secretary hely& responsible for the number of
dreadful socidante which occurred in the streets of Leedom
from the esernonie increase of population and of traffio—
The Marquis of WESTMEATH observed that he had not
said that the Secretary of State bad ceased thane accidents,
bat that he bad sot shown the slightest disposition to
remedy them.
Esti GRANVTLLE said he should be sorry to give an
opinion on the remedy which the noble marquis had sug-
gested, but he could not help thinking that to have •
mounted polioe in the narrow street. of London would
rather add to than diminish the difficulty and confusioe
that at present existed, and as to their patrolling the
more distant parts of the metropolis, he did not think it
bed been practically considered by the noble marquis. A
bill had been introduced into the other house to regulate
the traffic of the City, and it had been referred to • select
committee, who were now oorisiderieg the subject. A num-
ber of remedies bad been suggested. Ooe was the mortice
of bridges for foot paselegers at Tarim points, but if they
were to judge from the experience on railways, be did
not think they would be much used. It had alms been sug-
gested that sub-ways should be made, and they. perhaps.
might be made 01011) use of thaa bridges, It had also been
suggested that • signal, similar to the semaphore on rail-
ways, should be used to regulate the traffic and stop it
when necAssary, to enable foot pansengsrs to moss the
streets. He really believed that the regulation of the
traffic of the City was sot so difficult as in other parts of
London, because in the City they had narrow streets with
carts going at • slow psoe, and usually in two lines, whereas
in other parts of London great danger arose from carriages
earning up in various directions at a high speed.

THE WELLINGTON MONUMENT.
Is SWIM to the Earl CADMAN,
FAA GRANVILLE said that the monument to the Duke
of Welliogton to St. Paul's ougbt to have been oompleted
wears ago. The fault rested with the artist employed ; but
the government had an &marinas that it woo ld be completed

Lord OEIELMSFORD introduced a bill for the alai-
milatieg the statute of attorneys end solicitors in Ireland to
that of the same class in England.
In answer to the Esrl of LICHFIELD,
Earl GRANVILLE said he believed that a cargo' et
diseased cattle had been brought isto the metropolis from
Rolland. and an order iu animal would be issued prohibiting
importation from that country.
The house then adjourned.
