JURISDICTION IN EQUITY BILL.

In reply to Lord LYNDRURbT,
The LORD CHANCELLOR said it was his inten-
tion to move the second reading of this Bill on Monday,
and then to refer it to a Select Committeet

Lord TRURO had no objection to the course proposed
by the Noble and Learned Lord.
Lord LYNDHURST said he had looked at the
printed Bill, and he found it embodied substantially the
recommendations of the Commissioners. He thought
no discussion ought to tzke place with regard to the
principle of the Bill on the second reading.
SARDINIA.

Esrl GRANVILLE wished to know whether
the Government had any objection to state to the
House what was the nature of tho most recent
information which they had received with regard to the
Government of Sardinia. G:eat interest was felt in this
country in refer (Lace to Sardinia; first, in consequence
of eatisfactory commercial relations with Sardinia; and,
secondly, owing to the great constitutional experiment
which was there being made. He therefore hoped the
Government would not consider him exceeding his duty
in putting the present question.
The Earl of MALMESBURY said the intelligence
which had been received of the resignation of the
Marepis D Azeglio was perfectly correct, but their Lord-
ships would be glad to learn that on the 17th ultimo
the Icing sent for him again, and requested him to take
his accustomed seat at the board. His Majesty had,
moreover, given him a carte blanche to choose wbat Minis-
ters he liked.; He (Earl Malmesbury) could not sit down
without expressing on the part of her Majesty's Govern-
ment the great pleasure they felt on the receipt of this
news. The Marquis of Azeglio had conducted for three
years, a period of great difficulty and danger, the govern-
ment of Sardinia on constitutional principles, and
the greatest possible prosperity bad resulted to the
country. He hoped this act of the Sovereign was an
earnest that he intended to continue a constitutional
form of government.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE bore tribute to the
able administration of the Marquis of Azeglio.
INVENTIONS OF CAPTAIN WARNER.

The Duke of WELLINGTON moved for an address
to her Majesty for copies of, or extracts from, any re-
ports made to the Master-General of the Ordnance on
the inventions of Captain Warner.
The Earl of DERBY reminded the Noble Duke of
the circumstances under which Captain Warner came
before their Lordships. That gentleman had consented
to appear before a Committee of their Lordships, and
to reveal the secret of his invention without
fee or reward. Now he (Earl Derby) thought they
would be acting hard towards him, notwithstanding such
an offer, if they were to deny him the opportunity he
asked for of testing the merits of the invention

LONDON NECROPOLIS AND NATIONAL

MAUSOLEUM BILL.

On the motion for the third reading of this Bill,

Lord EBRINGTON objected to the clauses 'giving
compensation to the clergy, and declared that the mea-
sure was altogether auperfluou3. It proposed to create
a cemetery of 2,000 acres, while the opinion of all the
authorities on this subject, includirg that of Mr. G. A.
Walker, the able and meritorious pioneer in this question,
concurred in stating that a cemetery of between 400 and
500 acres would be found amply sufficient for the real
wants of the metropolis.—(Hear.) Such an acreage of
cemetery already existed, and be therefor© contended
thato as this measure was detective in many respects
_e was no necessity whatever for passing it.—(Hear.)

CLERKS OF THE PEACE.
M.FRESHFIELD wished to ask her Majesty's At-
torney-General whether it was intended to propose com-
pensation to the clerks of the peace in Middlesex and
Surrey, and to the clerk of arraigns at the Central
Criminal Court in LAitlon, and to the criers of the
courts of sessions in Middlesex and Surrey, and Cen-
tral Criminal Court in London, for the loss of fees which
will be sustained by them in consE
of the Grand Juries quenoe of the passing

hear.) WitCregard to the latter part of thrse quest.ion,
it had been found inexpedient to send out young un-
married men, and it might happen that those very
youths would be found more useful at home.—(Hear.)
THE NEWSPAPER STAMP.
Mr. SCHOLEFIELD wished to ask the Attorney-
General what steps had been taken to try the question
raised by the Board of Inland Revenue, as to the right
to publish monthly papers at other periods than " the
first day of every calendar month, or within two days
before or after that day," according to the terms of the
Act 60 George 111., c. 9?
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL explained that under
the provisions of the Act papers published at intervals of
more than 26 days were not liable to the stamp-duty.
but in order to prevent the practice of publishing a
paper beyond that interval, and then changing the title
to make itB serve the purpose of a newspaper, the Act
rendered the publisher liable to a penalty of
20/. if he did not issue a paper on cer-
tain specific days. The Stoke-upon-Trent 'paper
was not liable to the stamp duty, but not being
published in the manner specified, it was liable to the
above-mentioned penalty of 201.; but as there had been
no evasion of the law, and the revenue had not suffered,
it was not hie intention to prosecute. In the case of the
Dunfermline News, the revenue had suffered, and pro-
ceedings would be taken against the proprietor.
OPEN-AIR MEETINGS.
Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON wished to ask the Se-
cretary of State for the Home Department to specify
the grounds oa which the Commissioners of the Metro-
politani; Police had prohibited open air meetings in
Bonner's-fields, Bethnal-green, on the Sabbath-day.•
Mr. Secretary WALPOLE said the meetings to
which the Honourable Gentlemen referred had
given great offence to the neighbourhood, inasmuch as
the subjects discussed at thorn were of a blasphemous,
profane, and immoral character.—(Hear, hear.) Re-
peated complaints had been made to the Commissioners
of Works, and in deference to those complaints the
meetings had been forbidden and the police in-
structed not to proceed summarily, but to dis-
perse the meeting.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") It would
tie remembered that some years ago meetings of a simiar
nature were prohibited in the Green Park.—(Hear.)
Sir WILLIAM CLAY wished to know whether
meetings of the Wesleyans or other religious bodies
would be permitted?
Mr. WALPOLE said that all meetings would be con
sidered equally objectionable.--(Hear. hear.)
CORRUP PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS BILL.
Colonel SIBTHORP wished to ask the Noble Lord the
Member for the City of London,!on what day he intended
to move the third reading of the Corrupt Practices at
Elections Bill ?
Sir CHARLES WOOD said his Noble Friend was
not in his place, but he had been giveq to understand
that the Bill would come on the first thing on Monday.
