THR PARIS REGULATION BILL

The Times tionoludes a bantering article on the subject
of the parks and open-air meetings with suggesting that
the subject is a fair one fora committee. Its not a party
question. Mr. Cowper did his duty in supporting govern-
ment, which ought not to be charged with a responsibility
in which all are squally interested. The question can now
very well wait till next session. This is the last day of
July, and the "demonstration" folks can have the parks
almost to themselves for the next six months. They will
find a solitude without the trouble and scandal of making
one.

The Herald and Standard counsel the government to e
policy of no-surrender. If there is much excitement about
the question, it is only a proof that something has occurred
to justify the introductiou of the bill. The government
are striving to uphold the rights of the working man, his
wife, and his little ones.

The Telegrapk describes the struggle as a contest of
right against might—of ancient law against modern,
arbitrary, and intemperate legislation. Though, un•
happily, a large proportion of the liberal members have
left London, the opposition is earnest and resolute, and we
may yet hope it will be suomisafuL

On the motion in the House of Lords for the
second reading of the Church Bates Abolition Bill Lord
Delamere will move that It be read a second thne that day
three months.

To-morrow Mr. Fawcett will ask the Chancellor
of the Exchequer whether he will give a promise that par-
liament shall be consulted, and its opinion expressed,
before either a charter is granted to a Roman catholic
university, or before the government sanctions any other
scheme affecting university education in Ireland.
On Tuesday Mr. Mill will call the attention of
the House of Commons to the Declaration of Paris of
1856 so far as it relates to the right of search. Hie bill
for the better municipal government of the metropolis is
deferred till Tuesday next-

On the motion for going into oommitteo on
Expiring Laws Continuance Bill Mr. M'Cullagh Torrens
will call the attention of the house to she anomalous and
unsatisfactory state of our existing treaties of extradition
with foreign powers, with a view to the establishment of a
permanent and uniform system of law for the aurrender of
fugitives accused of unpolitical crime.

On Friday Lcrd Frederick Cavendish will call
the attention of the house to the recent grant of a free
pardon to Edward Greenland (late manager of the Leeds
Banking Company), who was sentenced to fifteen months'
imprisonment for perjury ; and will move for the cony-
spondence on the subject.

In committee on Parks Regulation (re-com-
mitted) Bill Sir Colman O'Loghlen will move after clause
1 to insert the following clause :—" After the passing of
this act no military review or inspection of troops shall be
held in any of the said parks or gardens."

According to the Owl, " it is generally believed
in the lobbies of the House of Commons that the govern.
meat, content with the two majorities they have obtained
on the question, and in deference to the wishes of many of
their supporters, will remain satisfied, for this session,
with the progress they have made with the Public, Parks
Bill."
