THE LATE LOAN.

Mr. DISRAELI wished to ask the Chancellor of the
Exchequer whether, when the Government contracted
for the last loan of 16,000,0001., au arrangement was en-
tered into by the Government with the parties contract-
ing the loan that no further sum should be asked
for until all the instalments had been satisfied. He asked
this question because, from what was stated by the
right hon. gentleman the other night, it had been
rumoured that another loan was shortly intended to be
proposed.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that at the time of obtaining the loan of 16,000,0001. an
engagement had certainly been entered into by the
Government with the parties granting the loan not to
attempt to raise any further loan until all the instal-
ments of the last loan had been satisfied, and the Go-
vernment were determined to fulfil strictly that engage-
ment.

LADY AND LORD RAGLAN'S ANNUITY BILL.
This bill was read a third time and passed.
TENANTS' IMPROVEMENTS COMPENSATION

(IRELAND) BILL.

The house then went into committee on this bill.

About six hours were occupied in the discussion of
the clauses 15, 16, and 17, of which the first was re-
jected by a majority of one. The other two, after many
amendments, some adopted, some rejected, were agreed
to. After the latter clause was agreed to,
Mr. WILKINSON proposed that the chairman
should report progress.

Mr. I. BUTT said he had a proposition to make which,
if it were agreed to, would materially shorten the dis-
cussion. liiv proposal was simply this, that all the
clauses after clause 17 should be left out f the bill.

Mr. RORSMAN, on the part of the Government,
objected to this proposition, and said that the remaining
clauses were word for word the clauses in favour of the
landlord which had passed the House of Lords in a for-
mer session, and might, therefore, be supported by the
House of Commons now.

After some further discussion on the question,
Lord PALMERSTON said he was determined to
persevere with the bill as it stood, but if hon. gentlemen
were determined to fight every line of every clause as
they bad done, he could not resist the proposition to re-
port progress.
This was agreed to—the committee to sit again on
Wednesday.
LIMITED LIABILITY BILL.

Lord GODERICH asked if this bill would come on
upon Thursday ?
Lard PALMERSTON said it was his intention ; but
he could not, of course, answer for it. (Hear.)
The Stage Carriage Duties Bill was read a second
time.

The Militia (Ireland) Bill passed through committee.
The Lunatic Asylum Amendment Bill passed through
committee.

The other orders of the day were disposed of, and the
ho.use adjourned.

THE BELGIAN RAILWAY.—An Amsterdam newspaper
states that the Hollando-Belgian Railway Company has
replaced all unmarried single men on the line by married
men, the reason being that the women will be able to
attend to the signals whilst the men are employed in re-
pairing the earthworks.
THE PROPOSED CAP AT STIRLING.—The telegraphic
report in our Saturday's issue attributed the following
statement to Mr. F. Peel, in reply to the observations of
our member Mr. Cowan, in the House of Commons on
Friday night, with regard to the billeting grievance,
viz., "that an encampment would be formed at Stirling
large enough to accommodate four or five regiments."
But as no reference is made to the camp in any of the
London morning journals, the report is open to doubt.
