BELGIUM.

The accounts from Belgium speak Of tranquility
being generally restored, although some slight agi-
tation still exists. The objections to the late bill
on charitable institutions appear to gain ground.
The Communal Council of Ghent, in its sitting of
the 2nd, voted by a majority of eighteen to five an
address to the King, similar to that of the com-
mune of Brussels. The Communal Council of
Namur was to assemble on the same day to draw
up a similar address.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY.

The House met at five o'clock.

Earl, late Lord, COWLEY, took the oaths and his seat.
The LORD CHANCELLOR laid on the table a bill to remedy
certain defects in the act of George 11, to enable Roman
Catholic charities, which were not created for what were
called superstitions uses, to be duly enrolled.
The bill was read a first time.
The Earl of DONOUGHMORE asked the Lord Chancellor
whether the rides and orders authorised to be made bithe
Lord Chancellor of Ireland, under the 19th and 20th Vic,
cap. 120, sec. 30, had been published, and if not, what
was the cause of the delay.
The LORD CHANCELLOR had called the attention of the Lord
Chancellor of Ireland to the subject, and from the explana-
tion given, it appeared that roles were framed and issued
three weeks ago, to carry out certain changes effected last
session in the Irish Court of Chancery, and for carrying
into effect the leases and sales of Settled Estates Act, to
which the case referred, But after the rules were framed
it was deemed expedient to have a distinct set for the leases
and sales of Settled Estates Act, and that had been the
cause of the delay. The operation of the act, however,
had not been postponed from want of orders, because the
petitions were to be presented under the act and not under
the orders.
The Princess Royal's Annuity Bill was brought from
the Commons and read a first time.
The Earle of ALBEMARLE presented a petition from ship-
owners, complaining of certain clauses of the Merchants'
Shipping Act, and inquired what steps the government
were prepared to take to afford them relief.
Lord STANLEY, of Alderley, said he did not see the
necessity of any change in the act, which was amodification
of t (moral acts, and had been framed with great care, but
he would not object that there should be appeals from the
local marine courts to the Court of Admiralty. If there
were any complaints against inspectors of vessels they
should be inquired into.
The Probate and Letters of *Administration Bill was,
after a short discussion, read a third time and passed, with
the insertion of some verbal amendments.
The house adjourned at a quarter to eight.

ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSIONS BILL.
In reply to Lord Robert Cecil,

REGIMENTS IN INDIA,

Major S. WORTLEY inquired when it was the intention of
the Government to relieve the 6th, 45th, and 73rd regi-
ments, now at the Cape of Good Hope.
Sir JOHN BAMSDEN replied, that it was true that the regi-
ments alluded to had been out their full time of service,
and the Government would relieve them as soon as they
could do so consistently with the exigencies of the public
service. But the gallant officer would be aware that in
the present state of affairs at the Cape, it was impossible
to fix anything particularly.
In reply to a question,
Mr. WILSON said, the answer of the united companies to
the government proposal had not yet been received, but
he understood that they were to meet to-morrow to decide,
and he hoped in the early part of the week to be able
to give information on the subject.
