THE DAY'S NEWS.

In the House of Lords, last night, a great
number of petitions were presented against the
abolition of Church-rates, against legalising mar-
riage with a deceased Wife's sister, and against
any alteration
_in the Book of , Common Prayer.
The Earl of Malmesbury gave notice of his
intention to make a ,statement relative to the
official instructions formerly given by him to Mr.
Bruce, our envoy in China. On the, Motion of the
Marquis of Normanby for the production of the
instructions to our Charge d'Affaires at Florence,
directing him to attend the official reception of
Signor Buoncompagni, and also a- return
of dates of any communications' between
the, Government and our ..Ambassador at
Paris on the subject of .the annexation of
Nice and Savoy to France, Earl Granville
said he had no objection to produce the papers ;
but he said it was not true that our Charge
d'.4lfaires,had been instructed to receive the pre-
sent Governor-General of Tuscany officially. The
Earl of Malmesbury said that the annexation of Sa-
voy and Nice to France, would give to that country
the key of Italy. Some remarks were made by
the Marquis of Clanricard, the Earl of Cardigan,
and the Earl of Derby, urging on the Government
the necessity of satisfying the public anxiety ; and
Lord Granville stated that communications were
still going on between the two Governments.
Lord Ellenborough asserted that Sardinia had
no right to cede Savoy to France. ' After a brief
reply from the Marquis of Normanby, the motion
was agreed to.
In the House of Commons, Lord J. Russell
stated that Spain had repaid £449,000. His
lordship intimated that he hoped to introduce
the Reform Bill on the Ist of March. He
discredited the rumoured preparations for sending
the French troops into Tuscany. In reply to a
question. from Mr. Ewart, Mr. Gibson said the
true interpretation of the words of the French
commercial treaty would not affect the
privileges of the freemen of Liverpool as to the
exemption from local shipping dues. The
Government are not to introduce any measure
relating to the lunatic poor in Ireland. The
proposal to give a guarantee to the Madras Irriga-
tion Company had been refused. Mr. Spooner's
motion for re-consideration of the . Maynooth
College grant ended, of course, in its, rejection by
. a majority of 186 to 128. A discussion took
place on Mr. P. Urquhart's motion with
reference to certain college regulations at Cam-
bridge, but the motion was withdrawn. The
Valuation of Rateable Property (Ireland) Bill
was passed through committee.
