PRAYER AGAINST CATTLE PLAGUE AND
CHOLERA.
- -

-
Lord EBURY drew attention to the form of waxer
against the cattle plague and cholera being partially In-
consistent with the facts at the present time, and asked
the Earl of Derby whether any order had been issued for
remodelling it.
The Earl of DERBY said he was not aware that any
direction had been given for altering the prayer. The lan-
guage of the latter part of it was hardly reconeileable with
the fast, inasmuch as the cholera had already broken out
in this country. Probably the subject would occupy the
attention of the Archbishop of Canterbury.

THE PROPOSED NEW BUILDING FOR THE
UNIVERSITY OF LONDON.
Mr. B. HOPE gave notice that to-morrow he should ask
the First Commissioner of Works whether he had any
objection to exhibit to the members of the house the de-
sign of Mr. Pennethorne for the new university proposed
to be built in Burlington-gardens.
WATERLOO-BRIDGE.
Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE gave notice of his intention
to-morrow to ask the First Commissioner of Works
whether, in consequence of the large number of houses to
be taken down in the neighbourhood of Temple-bar and
the Strand, in order to clear the site of the new law courts,
he will bring in a hill next session for the purpose of pur-
chasing Waterloo-bridge, and opening of the same to the
public free of charge, there being no free bridge between
Rlankfriars and Westminster bridges, a distance of nearly
two miles.

MR. NAPIER AND MR. BLACKBURN&
Mr. O'BEIRNE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if
the appointment of Mr. Blaokburne ea Lord Chancellor of I
Ireland was merely provisional, and if Mr. Napier bad actu-
ally
been appointed the Lord Justice of Appeal.
Lord NAAS—I think the best answer I can give to the
bon. gentleman will be to read a letter from Mr. Napier on
this subject. It is as follows :—" July 28, 1866. My dear
Lord Derby,—When you were pleased to offer me the office
of Lord Justice of Appeal, I was conscious of my partial
defect of hearing, but not having experienced any diffi-
culty from the detect when I presided as Lord Chancellor
in the Court of Chancery, and having been assured by those
on whom I can implicitly rely, that it has not since in-
creased, I accepted the offer you made to me. I find, how-
ever, that an impression has been created in the public
mind that the defect in question exists to an extent
which might interfere with the satisfactory discharge of
my duties. I believe the impression to be mistaken,
but when I cannier how important it is that the adminis-
tration of justice should be above all possible exception,
and how desirable it is that the nomination to so high an
office should not be open to a moment's cavil, I think that
I best fulfil the duty that I owe to the public, to your
lordship, and to myself, by withdrawing my cceptance
of the office." (Hear, hear.) The noble lord proceeded to
say :—I hope I may be allowed to say that I feel assured
that the house and the public will give Mr. Napier every
credit for the honourable and disinterested manner with
which he has behaved on this trying occasion. He has
made a pait sacrifice, which few men in his position could
feel called upon to make. (Hear, hear.) lam sure the
house will agree with me in appreciating his motive, end
that the sacrifice was only made out of his regard to the
interests of the public service.
Mr. MAGUIRE asked if the noble lord had received a
similar letter from Chief Justice Blackburne ?
Lord NAAS—No.

TENURE OF LAND (IRELAND).
Mr. BEARDEN asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland,
whether it was the intention of her Majesty's government to
introduce a like bill, for the tenure and improvement of
kind in Ireland, to that which was introduced by her
Majesty's government in 1852. and which contained a
clause granting compensation for retrospective as well as
future durable improvements.
Lord NAAS said, in answer to the bon. gentle-
man, he had only to state what he stated the other
day in the debate on the withdrawal of the
Tenure of Land Improvement Bill. It was this, that the
question will occupy the most serious consideration of the
government during the recess, and if the government
could see its way to introduce a bill which would have the
effect, in their opinion, of giving to tenants in Ireland
compensation for bona Bde improvements, they would in-
troduce such a bill. With regard to the bill of 1852 he
must express his individual opinion that he greatly
doubted if any bill similar to that would now receive the
approval of any party in that house.
HYD&PARK.

- - -----
Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the First Commissioner of
Works whether, before the railings of the park were re-
placed in Park-lane, it would be taken into consideration,
whether it would be desirable to take advantage of the
present opportunity for widening any part of Park-lane ;
and whether he had observed the very defective quality of
the brickwork supporting the railing, and if care would be
taken that the new railing should be of an improved and
stronger construction.
Lord J. MANNER/3—l answer both the questions which
the hon. gentleman has put in the affirmative.
THEATRES AND PLACES OF PUBLIC ENTER-
TAINMENT.

Lord E. BRUCE salted the Secretary of State for the
Rome Department whether it wee the intention of her
Majesty's government early next session to bring in a bill
for the better regulation of theatres and places of public
entertainment, in accordance with the report of a com-
mittee of this house on theatrical license and regulations.
Mr. WALPOLE said this was a subject which would
undergo consideration during the recess. Whether any
bill would be brought in next session in accordance with
the report al the examittee he could not say.
THE CATTLE PLAGUE.

Sir J. C. .TERVOISE asked the Vioe-Prelident of the
Committee of Conseil cm Edtmation if hie attention had
been celled to the statement that the tattle please had
)•y been weeding in one ex two mantles ; Qat in the
