STANDING ORDERS.

Colonel W. PATTEN called attention to the report of the
committee appointed to men* the standing orders with •
view of fsollitating the progress of private bills. A=
the propoerd chimers was an arrangement by which a
et the private business at the commencement of the session
should originate with the House of Lords •, a reduction of
the number of railway sommitteas, so that there should only
be lies chairman of committees, which would secure uni-
formity of legislature In such matters.
The alterations recommended by the report were agreed
to and the standing orders amended accordingly.
Colonel. W. PATTEN then moved the following resolu-
tion, via : That this home will not insist on its privileges
with regard to any clause@ in private bills sent down trout
the House of Lords which refer to tolls and chums kr
envious performed, and are not in the nature of a tae:
Lord R. CECIL took the opportunity which the resolution
sisrdsd of ventilating his views on the subject of private
bill . The evidence taken before the committee
wee ly adverse to the present system, and in favorer
of the appointment of permanent chairmen. Private bill
committees were incompetent to discharge the duties entrusted
to thaw; and their ignorance, or the peculiarity of their
views, skeet protracted their deliberations, and put the parties
to Imp and unnecessary expense. Permanent chairmen
meld not be obtained without the *Moe was remunerated,
and In the committee be proposed a resolution to that dime ;
but it was rejected by the casting vote of the chairman.
Mr. D. GRIFFITH advocated an entire remission of
the fees payable to parliamentary counsel and agenAc2th
were extravagantly disproportionate to the services
Sir D. NORRRYB suggested that the great proration of
the privets business that annually came Wore perillement
might be advantageously transferred to local tribunals to be
estebliabsd for the purpose
Col. WILSON PATTEN hoped the time was far intern
when the house would entertain a roomed for paying any of
its members. The pr viand made to the committee was, that
four permanent chairmen should be appointed with a Waxy
of 1,0001. • year each. He voted against it became he
thought it would be unconstitudonal.
After a few words bow the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER, who said the hones was indebted to the
committee to their revision of the standing orders, the reso-
lution was agreed to.
GOVERNMENT OF INDIA (No. 3) BILL.
On the motion for considering the Ladd amendments to
this bill,

CoiiitTel SYKES mond Si an antendrern that they be

because the bill abolished a glorious corporation who had an-
nexed to tale country a vast empire. The rule of the ens-
patty had always been vier, humane, and jest ; and its
goverment of India should have entitled It to the gratitude
of the country rather than brought down upon it a measure of
extinction. He was told that bad the late goverment been
ready with their Moe= Bill, we should never have beard of
an ledian Bill. Being enable to fulfil his pledgee in that re-
'set, the late prime minister (Lord Palmerston) sought to
