hi the Ilorsr. of Logos yvsixrdu., , Lord CAMP-
MILL laid on the table a bill for exempting rifle
end artillery volunteers from serving on juries.
The Earl of SllArrir..suulLY g.tre notice that he
will on Monday aill attention to the statement
nude by the Archbishop of Canterbury that con-
y/statin sill lie consulted op.!' nas.,:onenda-
tion /if the Ritual Commission bu. ore pu . lament
legislatea up oi the subject.

Lord Sri:Atrium na itsocurre. moved fur copies
of any correspondence which h.c.c taken place
between her Majesty's government and the Otto-
man or the Hospodars of the Danubian
Principal:6,4. respecting measures iatiopti.4l by the
latter for depriving the Jewish residents in Mol-
davia of their property and expelling them from
the country.

The Earl DENBMH expre&cil his indignation
at the manlier in which Jews hail been treated
in Moldavia.

The Earl of Kunz:ilium, said he had no objec-
tion to lay the papers on the table. but would ab-
stain discussing the matter till the papers
were produced.
The motion was then withdrawn.
The Recovery of Certain Debts (Scotland) Bill
was read a third time and passed.
The County Treasurers (Ireland) Dill passed
through conunittee.
Earl DI: C KEY and Rims called attention to, and
criticiiedadversely, the instructions ricent:y issued
by the War-othce respecting the employment of
volunteers to quell riot or disturbance.
The Earl of Losoroau said Ile War Department
bad been placed in a position of difficulty in being
:squired to lay down precise regulations for uncer-
tain contingencies. If the instructions were not
understood or were inconvenient, the Secretary for
War had already announced his willingness to
withdraw that portion of them to which objection
was taken.

Earl RUMELL thought the instructions were
open to the objections which Earl do Grey and
Ripon had pointed out.
Earl Cowreit considered something ought to be
done to niodif) the instructions and lay down clear
and definite regulations, so that the volunteers
might not find themselves in a false la,aition in the
event of diaturbancts ariaing.
After some further conversation the subject
dropped.

The Marquis of CLANRICARPE asked whether
government had received a decided answer as to
the course the Spanish government intended to
pursue with respect to the Tornado.

•
The Earl of MALMIIMIURY said there was diffi-
culty in overcoming the passive resista::ce of the
Spanish government. The last despatch from them
had already been published, and in the meantime
there was no alternative but to acu.pt the assur-
ances of the Spanish government that the case
should be tried.
The Consecration and Ordination Fees Bit the
Court of Chancery (Ireland) Bill, and the Court of
Chancery fOtticers) Bill passed through committee.
The Railways (Scotland) Bill and the Salmon
Fishery (Ireland) Act Amendment Bill were read a
second tinie.

The house adjourned at 10 minutts to eight
o'clock.

ROUSE OF COMMONS.—MoNDAy, JrLy 1.

Is the HOUSE Of COMMONS, Lord STANLEY stated,
in reply to Mr. Baxrsa, that he could not say that
rapid progress was being made in the negotiations
respecting the Alabama claims, but he did not de-
spair that a satisfactory lodgement would be conic
to. It was his intention to lay the papers on the
table of the house before the close of the session.
The CHAN.SELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved a
series of resolutions regulating the mode of con-
ducting business whenever the house shall meet at
2 o'clock during the present month.
A short discussion arose respecting the attempts
which had been made to count out the house when
it re-assembled at nine o'clock, and
Mr. CR.AWYORD moved an amendment, providing
that if it should appear, by a division or otherwise,
before half-past nine, that 40 members were not
present, the house should not rise, but should
adjourn for ten minutes.
General Per.i. and Lord DERRELL'S, however,
pointed out practical difficulties in carrying out the
amendment, and
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
thought they ought not to interfere with an
ancient right.

Eventually the amendment was negatived, and
the resolutions agreed to.
The house then went into committee on the
Representation of the People Bill, resuming the
disca•sion on a new clause, moved by Colonel
Drum which enacts that persons who possess free-
holds in boroughs, and who reside within seven
miles, shall vote for the borough, and not for the
county. _ _ _

Mr: W. E. BAXTER opposed the clause, because
it would deprive a class of voters of a prescriptive
Tight which they had enjoyed for centuries.
Mr. Newdegste, Mr. Howard, Mr. Gilpin, Mr.
Bright, Mr. Alderman Lawrence, and Mr. Glad-
stone opposed the clause as having a disfran-
chising effect ; while Mr. t'eourfield, Mr. D.
Griffith, and Mr. Vanes, supported it.
The CHAN,ELLOR of the EXCHEQUER remarked
that a good deal might be said on both sides of this
question, but he did not intend to discuss it. The
ioatter had been under the consideration of the
government, but they thought it was not expedient
to bring forward any proposition of this kind.
The clause was negatived.
Another clause, which was moved by Mr. BEATE,
that no person shall be entitled to vote for any
county in virtue of any rent-charge created after
the let (lay of July in the present year, was with-
drawn after a short discussion, but Mr. Neste said
he should bring it forward again if he found that
members were convinced of its great importance.
