IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE :OF COMMONS—This Day,
The Speaker took the chair at twelve o'clock.
DISPUTED ELECTIONS.

Sir W. MILES brought up the names of the gentlemen
appointed to try the validity of the Berwick-upon-Tweed
and Lisburn elections, stating that the general committee
will, on Monday next, strike the committee to try the
validity of the Barnstaple election.
PENAL SERVITUDE BILL.

Mr. NEILL gave notice that is the Penal erlitude Bill
he would move an omission in clause 2.

TRESPASS (IRELAND) BILL.
Mr. ORMSBY GORE moved the second reading of the
bill, the object of which was to assimilate the law of Ireland
to the law of England as established by the Act of 1831,
which had worked extremely well.

Sir R. PEEL said he would offer no objection to the
second reading of the bill. lie thought certain modifica-
tions would have to be made in committee in certain provi-
sions of the bill, especially those relating to the pursuit o f
game.

The bill was read a second time, and ordered to be coma
mitted after Easter.

WATCHING OF TOWNS (IRELAND) BILL.

Sir If. BRUCE moved the second reading of this bill,
which had been rendered necessary owing to the failure o f
the police to execute their duty in Ireland. It was not that
that force generally was wanting in ability, but in conse-
quence of their being appointed to perform duties for which
they had not been organised. The cost of the police in
Ireland amounted in round numbers to three-quarters
of a million, yet little good was effected, and, speak-
ing generally, the country was most badly w atched.
The object of his measure was to empower the Lord Lieu-
tenant to appoint watchmen in addition to the police force,
as it might be asked for by the inhabitants of certain towns
and boroughs for night duty, and in the event of his Excel-
lency not attending to the representations within the space
of three months, then the towns commissioners of those
places requiring additional force might secure and pay them
themselves.

Sir R. PEEL objected to the bill. The effect of it would
be to create a number of watchmen or " Charleys "
(laughter)—in addition to the police. The result would be
that the two sections would come into collision, and instead
of protecting the publio peace it would be more likely to
endanger it. Such places as Cork and Galway did not ask
for such a measure, and he could but regret that Coleraine
should be so unruly as to require additional watchmen.
The bill had been most carelessly draw up, and under these
circumstances he hoped it would not be pressed forward. If
he could point out any defects in the present police force, or it
he could show him how he could add to its present efficiency
he should be most happy to carry his suggestions into
effect.

Lord NAAS supported the bill. Ito thought it was one
that would do a great deal of good, and not at all likely to
lead to the consequences anticipated by the right hon.
baronet who had just sat down.

Mr. H. HERBERT defended the Irish judges from a
charge of having neglected their duty in the suppression
of crime.

Sir R. PEEL disclaimed any intention to speak disre-
spectfully of any of the Irish judges.

Sir F. HEYGATE did not think the intention of the
bill was to take the appointment out of the hands of the
Government. He thought it would be advisable to allow
the bill to be read a second time, and thus its defects could
be amended in committee.

Mr. GEORGE also defended the Irish judges.

Col. DUNNE testified to the efficiency of the Irish con-
stabulary, but denied their efficiency as a protective force.
Mr. BRADY objected to the bill, and moved that it be
read a second time this day six months.
After a few words from several hon. members the bil
was withdrawn.

PROFITS OF AMATEUR TOUTING.—Wi3at do you
do when your friend complains of his corns, and of
the wonderful ideas entertained by shoemakers as to the
form and size of the human foot? You instantly begin to
chuckle. "Aha, my boy, you should go to my bootmaker,
you'd never be troubled with corns any more. Go to my
man and be at peace." What follows ? Your friend
comes limping up to you in a week or two afterwards and
informs you that, according to the verdict of an eminent
chiropodist, he is likely to be lama for six months in con-.
sequence of an attempt to wear the shoes supplied by your
shoemaker And your shoemalcr thanks you with the
of a martyr for having sent him a customer, but regrets
that the gentleman has not behaved very handsome, send-
ing back the shoes and declining to pay for them. "A
too,": remarks the injured tradesman, cabl-
in question, which resemble canoes, "a
pair of shoes as ain'tpciatiirngofthsehogers,ticies everybody's money, being made ac-
cording to the gentleman's own design, with 113 shape in
them."—lfickenes " All the rear Bound."

Ili LTERIAL PaIUTIM

HOUSE OF LORDS—Last Evening,

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack ai
B o'clock.

THE DANO-GERMAN WAR.

The Earl of DERBY, without wishing to raise a dis-
cussion, or to offer any remarks upon the question, wished
to ask the noble earl the Secretary of Foreign Affairs if it
was the intention of her Majesty's Government to give any
information to Parliament of a later date than that given
by the correspondence already published. Events were
succeeding one another so rapidly as to cause the greatest
anxiety in the public mind.
Earl RUSSELL reminded the noble earl that Austria
and Prussia had refused to accede to proposals made to them
by the other European powers, and had engaged in a most
unjustifiable war, and he considered the Danish Govern-
ment quite justified in resisting the demands made upon
them. He did not think, in the present condition of affairs,
that it would be fur the public advantage that all correspon-
dence that had taken place in each step of the negotiations,
illustrative of the course of events and the conduct of her
Majesty's Government, should be published. At the end
of the week her Majesty's Government expect to receive the
reply of the Danish Government in answer to the invitation
to the Congress. When that answer had been received
there would be a break in the negotiations, and that
would be a favourable opportunity for making known
the progress that had been made up to that
time. He hoped that when the answer of the belligerents
had been obtained, if that decision were favourable, there
would be little difficulty in obtaining the assent of France,
Russia, and Sweden to an invitation to going into consi •
deration of the question in the proposed congress.
Earl DERBY asked the noble earl if he could say, for
certain, whether the papers would be laid on the table pre-
vious to the Easter recess.

---
Earl RUSSELL said the clerks in the Foreign-office
had been so hardworked, in consequence of the number of
papers required of them, that he could not promise the
papers would be in the possession of their lordships before
the Easter holidays.
Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE hoped that her
Majesty's Government would be in a position before the
adjournment for the Easter holidays to state definitely
what course they intended to pursue with respect to the
whole question.
In reply to further questions from the Earl of ELLEN-
BOROUGH,

Earl RUSSELL said he believed that Austria and
Prussia would require some modification to be made in the
treaty of 1852, but what they wished precisely it was im-
possible for the Government to say,
