IMPERIAL PARLIAXEYTISECOND EDITION'.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.--This Day.
The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock.
HIGHWAYS ACT AMENDMENT (RECOM-
MITTED) BILL.

The house went into committee on this bill.
On the motion that the preamble should be postponed,
Mr THOMPSON said that the present state of highway
management was most unsatisfactory. To prove this he
mentioned that it had been found necessary to substitute
another bill in 1862 for that of 1855. They were now called
on to rescind the former. He thought that no practical re •
suit would arise until that act was rescinded compulsory
instead of optional.
Clauses 1 to 19 inclusive were agreed to after a short dis-
cussion.

Oa clause 20,
Mr KENDALL moved en amendment to the effect that
parishes should ba compelled to refence in their neighbour-
hoods if necessary.

Sir G. G REY said that unless they were already liable
these words would not render them so.

The amendment was withdrawn, and the clause was
agreed to, as were chuses to 23.

On clause 24,
Mr. H. FEN WICK moved the omission of the words
"without a keeper," the object of which was to prevent
cattle being turned out on the highways for pasturage.
These highways were intended for the use of the public,
and converting them into grazing ground was a direct per.
version from their legitimate purposes.
After some discussion, the committee divided—

For the amendment
Against it ..

Majority
It was then moved that the words " Such highways not
being more than 30 feet wide" should be added, but it was
withdrawn. . _

Sir B, LEIGHTON moved that the words of the clause
should not apply to any existing rights of pasturage on the
sides of roads,

Lord HENLEY said that the effect of the provision pro-
posed by the hon. baronet would be to nullify the clause
altogether, for there were no road upon which rights did
not exist.

The amendment was agreed to without a division. The
clause, with some other amendments, was then adopted
without further discussion.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

BUCKINGIUMSHIRE.-It is understood that at the dis-
solution of Parliament Mr C. G. Du Pre, one of the sitting
members for the county of Bucks, will retire, and that the
Hon. Charles Robert Carington, the eldest son of Lord
Carington, will offer himself as a candidate. There has
generally been a tacit arrangement in the county that it
should be represented by two Conservatives and one Liberal
and accordingly at the last election Mr D sraeli and Mr
Du Pre were returned on the Conservative interest, and Mr
Cavendish on the Liberal interest. On the succession of Mr
Cavendish to the barony of Chesham a few months since,
Mr R. B. Harvey, a third Conservative, was returned with-
out opposition from the Liberals (except the few who sup-
ported Dr Lee), on the understanding that at the next
election, Mr Du Pre retiring, Mr Disraeli and Mr Harvey
(who is a brother-in-law of the Duke of Buckingham) shall
be returned on the part of the Conservatives, and Mr.
Carington on the part of the Liberals.
REIGATE.--It is said that Mr G. Leveson Gower, the
sitting member for Reigate, will not offer himself for re-
election after the next dissolution, and that Mr W. A.
Wilkinson will come forward on the Liberal interest. The
Hon. James Stuart WOrtley is spoken of as the Conserva-
tive candidate.
