[IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—Fmnix, MARCH 22.

1w the Hors' of Loses yesterday the Earl of
HARROWBY, in presenting a petition from Sydney,
New South Wales, against any steps being taken
to enable bishops to be consecrated in the colonies
in a manner contrary to the ordinances of the
church of England, took occasion to refer to the
measure introduced last session on the subject,
and expressed a hope that nothing would be done
to destroy or weaken the uniformity between the
mother church and the daughter church in the
colonies.

The Earl of CaaNaavos presented a similar
petition front the clergy and laity of Victoria. The
real bond of union, he said, between the colonial
church and the mother church must depend on
drawing closer the ties of spiritual union between
them, and not by enforcing the supremacy of the
crown.

The Archbishop of CANTERBURY remarked that
the bond of connexion between the colonial
churches and the mother church must be one of
affection.

The Bishop of LONDON believed that opinion was
pretty equally balanced in the colonies on the
question whether they should be entirely free,
or should remain in connexion with the church
of England. No legislation should take place till
they took evidence on this point.
Several other peers having addressed the house,
The Duke of BUCKINGHAM said a measure on
this subject was under consideration.
The Earl of HARROWBU hoped that any bill
which might be brought in would be submitted to
a select committee.

The Metropolitan Poor Bill passed through com-
mittee.

The Trades Union Bill, and the Hothec
Amendment (Scotland) Bill were reported with
amendments.

The house adjourned shortly after seven o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FaIDAY, himicir 22.
IN the Horse Of COMMONS the CHANCELLOR of
the ExCHEQt!R, in reply to Captain WHITE, stated
that it is not intended that tho increased represen-
tation of Scotland shall be at the expense of Ire-
land.

Captain Seams inquired from what source it was
to come,_ but
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER recom-
mended the hon. gentleman and the other Scotch
members to have confidence in the bounty of the
sovereign and the wisdom of parliament.
On the order of the day for going into committee
of supply,
Mr. BAXTER called attention to the incon-
venience of the present system, by which the
management of Scotch business in the house was
left to the Lord Advocate, whose office was analo-
gous to that of the Attorney-General of England
and the Homo Secretary combined. This incon-
venience was further aggravated by the present
Lord Advocate not having a seat in parliament,
and, moreover, not being likely to obtain one. He
suggested that there should be an under secretary
for Scotland.

Sir R. Anstruther, Mr. C. Bruce, Mr. Dunlop,
Colonel Sykes, Mr. H. Baillie, Mr. M‘Laren, and
Mr. Crum-Ewing expressed similar sentiments.
Mr. WALPOLE said his opinion coincided to a
certain extent with the opinions that had been
so unanimously expressed by the Scotch members.
He thought there would be a convenience in having
an under secretary of state for Scotch affairs.
Mr. CLIVE called attention to the report of the
commissioners appointed to inquire into the con-
dition of all mines in Great Britain to which the
present law does not apply. He read copious ex-
tracts from the report of the commissioners, show-
ing that the mines in Cornwall are imperfectly ven-
tilated ; that the miners have to undergo great
fatigue in descending and ascending, and that in
consequence there was much more mortality among
them than among any other portion of the com-
munity.
Mr. KINNAIRD impressed on the house the neces-
sity of immediate legislation, and said it was really
a matter of expense.
Mr. KENDALL deprecated legislation at the pre-
sent time, on account of the depressed state of the
mining interest in Cornwall.
Mr. WALPOLE promised that the matter should
have his immediate attention.

The matter then dropped.
Mr. BRUEN moved for a select committee to in-
quire into the justice of a claim for compensation
to the late inspectors of weighta and measures in
Ireland for the loss of their offices.

Lord NAAS opposed the motion, saying this was
an attempt to get compensation out of the revenue
of the country for the loss of a local office.
Mr. Spasm, Mr. Vance, and General Dunne
spoke in favour of the motion, and Mr. C. Forteseue
against it.
On a division the motion was rejected by 134
to 41.
Mr. Moxszt.i. called attention to the defenceless
state of the Irish police barracks, and inquired
whether it was intended to confer any special rewards
on those members of the Irish constabulary who
had distinguished themselves by meritorious ser-
vices during the late disturbances. He narrated
some individual cases of bravery; and, with regard
to the barracks, suggested that new barracks should
be built, or that they might bo put in a state of
defence, which might be done at • cost of 1501.
each.
Mr. C. FORTENCUE confirmed the statements as
to the bravery of the men, but doubted the neces-
sity of rebuilding the barracks, though ho thought
it would be well to put them in some state of
defence.

Mr. Herbert, Mr. Bagwell, and Mr. Dunne ad-
dressed the house in praise of the conduct of the
police.
Lord Naas said he considered the country under
great obligations to those men, not one of whom
had swerved from his allegiance, and it was his
intention to propose a vote of 2,0001. to be distri-
buted among them. With regard to the barracks,
it was a question whether they should render them
all defensible, or only select some. In conclusion
he expressed his conviction that peace and tran-
quillity would be restored in Ireland by means of
the ordinary law, and that it would be shown that
this conspiracy had only taken root with a small
portion of the people of Ireland.
Mr. O'REILLY called attention to the circum-
stances under which a pension was granted to
Mr. Robert Young, " agricultural and histo-
rical poet." Mr. Young, he said, was origin-
ally a nailor, and then a writer, after which he
devoted himself to writing wretched rhymes in
praise of Orangeiam, and libelling Roman catholics.
The hon. member created much amusement by
reading some of these rhymes. He asked if this
pension had been conferred by the government on
Mr. Young because, in his own , "he
served their cause." He thought that rd Derby
must have been deceived.

Mr. HUNT said the pension was granted in answer
to the prayer of a memorial signed by the Roman
catholic and protestant bishops of Derry, and by a
great number of respectable inhabitants of that city.
The discussion was continued by Mr. Cogan,
Sir S. Maxwell, Mr. O'Neill, and Mr. Whalley, the
latter of whom wandered into the causes of the
Fenian conspiracy.

The CHANCILLOR of the Exenancan thought
Lord Derby was perfectly justified in granting this
pension after receiving the memorial.
The house then went into committee of supply,
but on the motion of Mr. LAIRD, supported by
Mr. CHILDERS, who stated that several members
not now present wished to address the house on tho
general subject of the navy before the first vote
was taken, the CHAIRMAN was ordered to report
progre:as, and the house resumed.
The house then went into committee on the
Court of Chancery (Ireland) Bill, and a number of
clauses wore !greed to.

The Conseil-dated Fund (7,924,000/0 Bill was
read a second time.

Mr. WiLPOLI moved the second reading of the
Factory Extensions Act Extension Bill.
After some discuuian, in the course of which,
Mr. POWELL contended that there ought to be

an education clause, Mr. DILLWTN moved the
adjournment of the debate, and Mr. Whams
said he would consider any communication on the
bill that might ho made before the next stage
was taken.
The second reading was agreed to.
The Hours of Labour Regulation Bill was read a
second time.
The Inclosure Bill passed through committee.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL obtained leave to bring
in a bill to afford further facilities for the erection
of certain bridges in Ireland ; also a bill to amend
the Petty Sessions (Ireland) Act as to the wording
of warrants.

Mr. WHALLRY obtained leave to bring in a hill
to make better provision for facilitating anal regu-
lating the supply of water to the metropolis and
metropolitan districts.
The house adjourned at 10 minutes to 1.

what was without precedent—he, a clergyman, would have
sent into the witness-box a girl fur the express purpose of
perjuring hetaelf. At the same time the truth of his
story was a matter on which they must themselves decide.
The jury immediately found for the petitioner, and the
court the separation as prayed.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—MAica 22.
(Belong Ur. Comminiatier Goa'burn.)
TIC RE MAO 11 AMER.—SPECULATIONS BY A PUBLIC

OFFICER.

The bankrupt was collector of customs of the port of
Rochester. He came before the court with unsecured
debts of 14,325!., of which 9,3701. were liabilities on shares
in companies.
Mr. Bagley appeared for the bankrupt.
Mr. Lawrence appeared for the assignees, the liquidators
of the English Joint Stock Bank, who were creditors for
4,872 F., for overdrawn account and calls on shares. Though
the bankrupt had a salary of 300/. a year as collector of
customs, he had thought proper to embark in speculations
to a large extent, and had incurred in this way liabilities
to the amount of 9,370/. This was the more inexcusable
in a public officer, and the assignees asked for a long sus-
pension of the order.
The bankrupt, in examination, stated that he had been
induced by Mr. Dewar, the local manager of the English
Joint Stock Bank, to purohueso shares in the bank, on the
representation that the shares were sure to go up. They
were to share in the profit, if any. Afterwards he took up
some more shares on allotment, on Mr. Dewar's recom-
mendation. Had also bought shares for 0001. in the
British Colonial Steam Ship Company ,• that was en-
tirely lost. He borrowed the money from the English
Joint stork Rank. In 181.4 he got an allotment of shares
in the City Offices Company, and he lost 39/. by those.
He also speculated in the London and Glasgow
Engineering and Shipbuilding Company. He paid
4001. for those shares, and lost 3601. He had
lost about 2,0001. by the South Eastern Banking
Company, end 787!. by the Imperial Bank of
China and Hindustan. By the Joint Stock Discount Com-
pany he lost ?JIM., without reference to the calls. His
aggregate looses and liabilities in consequence of his share
transactions, was 10,075/. He never thought of any of
these companies coming to grief. His regular income was
barely sufficient to pay his expenses.
The Commimioner—Was he successful in any one of
those speculations!
. . . .

The bankrupt said he had made 40/. by one company.
Examined by Mr. Bagley—He first had fifteen shares in
the English Joint Stock Bank, which be sold at a"profit,
intending to have no more to do with shares, but on the
recommendation of the manager he bought in again. In
August, 18114, ho had a surplus of 1,700!. Dewar
told him that the bank would advance him money
to buy their shares, and would take the shares as
security. Mr. Dewar offered to share in the profit and
loss of the transaction. On his suggestion bankrupt trans-
ferred hie account from the National and Provincial Bank
to the English Joint Stock (then the South Eastern Bank),
and deposited there forty-three shares in the National and
Provincial, and some shares in the Great Western of
Canada. Hr. Dewar always represented that the English
Joint Stock was prospering, and that the shares would go
up. In the beginning of last year they called on him to
reduce his balance, which was upwards of 6,000!., and be
reduced it to 4,000/. Of his present liabilities, 7,2001.
was on calls not yet made. He could see now, when it
was too late, how imprudently he bai acted.
His Honour said it was a lamentable case. He hoped
that the bankrupt would not loso his appointment in the
customs.

The iankrupt said he had been already suspended. He
had been 23 years in the customs.
Mr. Bagley,in addressing the court on behalf of the bank-
rupt, urged that he had been made the dupe of the local
manager, Mr. Dewar, in whom he would naturally place
implicit confidence. Of his total liabilities upwards of
0,0001. had been incurred through the temptations and
seduction of Mr. Dewar. Hie private debts were next to
nothing ; he had made a full disclosure of all his transac-
tions, and altogether he had brought in assets of 550 f.
His Honour said he should be glad to assist the bankrupt
in retaining his place. He would give judgment on
Friday next.

HANDFORD I. LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY

COMPANT.

This was an action for injuries sustained in a collision.
The damages were laid at 6,0001. This morning, the par-
ties, without coming into court, arranged to settle—the
plaintiff agreeing to accept 1,4501.

WALKER C. LARCAsHIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAY
COMPARE!
_ _

The plaintiff in this "al.anlies travelled about the
country, holding exhibitions of pictures. He estimated
his receipts from sales andlother sources at 5,000/. a year,
and his profits at 2,200/. On the 10th November, 1865, in
going from Manchester to Aintree, he sustained injuries
