IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS. -YESTERDAY.

THE MILITIA AND THE DEFENCES

The Earl of Ripon moved the second .realling of the
Militia
_Law
,Amendment Bill ; its object was to facilitate
the action of Government in availing themselves of the ser-
vices of the force.

Lord S. de RADCLIFFE averred, that, although peace was
declared, there was no guarantee for its continuance, so he
therefore impressed upon the House and the country the
danger of neglecting its defences. He lamented the sus-
pension of the Militia Ballots, which were our 'only sub-.
stitutes for conscription. The country was surroundod with'
difficulties, and it was of the utmost importance that the
militia should be put in a state of effiCiency. The uncer-
tainty
,of the maintenance of peace had been &Yowl ,by
recent events, although he trusted that the COnferenei) of
Zurich would result in a durable and satisfactory treaty.

Lord KnsTosnowx said that the militia would never be in
a satisfactory state till the Service was made compulsory.
The Earl of RnsoN said the whole question of the militia!,
would occupy the earnest attention of' the 'GOVernmenti
during the recess, and every effort would'beniadelo place!,
it on a satisfactory footing,. ; He hoped, however, to avoid'
the necessity of compulsory service.
The bill was then read a second time; !
VariOns bills were advancedU stage.
The House adjourned at twenty minutes past six o'clock.

Mr. M'KuoioN Moved for loave to bring in a bill to
establish equitable councils of arbitration to adjust ctirerences
between masters and operatives. At present much ill-
feeling was produced by the operation of the law, as, in
many, instances, the employers were niistaken As to its ad-
ministration. The establishment of the proposed council
would do much to remove that ill-feeling:
Mr. litzetatnn soconded the motion.

Leave was given to bring in the bill.
