SENTENCE OF DEATH.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH moved the first read-
ing of a bill relieving the Home Secretary from the sole
responsibility of deciding whether or not the sentence of
death should be carried into effect, Until the reign of her
present Majesty the:necessity of considering the propriety
of carrying sentences into effect fell upon the whole
Cabinet and the Sovereign. The bill now :before their
lordships did not propose to require her Majesty
should have the painful duty cast upon her, or even that
she should be present at the consideration; but it pro-
posed to revive the ancient practice, as far as
the subject should be considered by the Govern-
ment, and that the result arrived at should be em-
bodied in an order of the Queen in Council. If the Govern-
ment approved of the principle of the bill he hoped they
would take the bill up themselves and carry it through its
remaining stages as a Mnisterial measure.

The bill was read a first time.
ENGLISH AND IRISH LAW COURTS.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE called attention to
the first report of the commission of inquiry into the Eng-
lish and Irish courts of law and chancery, and asked the
Government whether they intended to introduce bills in
accordance with the recommendations of that report during
the present session, and also, whether a fuller report of the
commissioners was likely to be presented soon, and when
they were likely to have the judicial statistics.
Earl GRANVILLE said the Government intended to
introduce a bill founded on the recommendations of the
commission, which he hoped would be satisfactory to the
noble marquis. The judicial statistics had been nearly
completed, and he hoped they would be ready in June, and
the second report would be made probably in the early part
of July.

METROPOLITAN RAILWAYS.

The Earl of DERBY moved that it be an instruction to
the committee on every railway bill providing for the
construction of any railway within the metropolis to insert
in the bill provisions analogous to that contained in the
North London Railway Act, for the purpose of securing
to the labouring classes a cheap transit to and
from their labour by a morning and evening train,
with such modifications as may appear to be required
by the circumstances of each case. He thought that, sup-
posing the railway companies shou'.d sustain a trifling• dis.
advantage from such a clause, yet it was but just that such
an enactment should be made to protect those who had
not the power to protect themselves.

London, England, 1864-04-23

Lord STANLEY of ALDE itLEY entirely approved of
the proposition made by the noble earl, but he thought, to
make it more effectual, it should be extended to all exist-
ing railways requiring extensions of existing lines. (Hear.)
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGII thought the time fixed
for the running of the early train ought to be before six, as
the work of the labouring classes generally commence' at
that hour.

Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY thought that matters
of detail like that could easily be arranged by tho com-
mittee.

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY thought it very expe-
dient the experiment of the early trains for the labouring
classes should be tried. There was at present some objec-
tions to compelling the poor inhabitants of the metropolis
to leave it, but he felt hound to say it was an expedient that
was worthy of trial. He thought, however, to be of any
service, there ought to be two trains each way every morn-
ing and evening..
The motion was agreed to, and it was ordered to be
entered ou the sessional orders.

RETI RING PENSIONS.

Lord CHELMSFORD called the attention of the First
Lord of the Admiralty to the Order in Council of the Ist
August, 1860, upon those naval captains who did not be-
come applicants for the allotments by the Order in Council
Ist of September, 1846, and 25th June, 1851,
The Duke of SOMERSET contended that no injustice
had been done by the order referred to, which, together
with several previous orders, had been passed for the gene-
ral benefit of the service. In fact, the officers who made
complaint had, by these orders, been placed in a position
which, under the conditions on which they had entered the
service, they could not have expected to attain for some
years to come.

The question elicited some further discussion, and
The house adjourned at 7 o'clock.

HOUSE OP COMMONS—Last Evening.
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
NEW MEMBER.

Sir ROBERT ANSTRUTTIER took the oaths and his sea
on his election for Fitedaire, in the room of Mr. Wemyss,

deceased.

THE ROMAN GOVERNMENT AND MR. HOME.

Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice that on going into com-
mittee of supply, on Monday, he would ask whether the
attention of Earl Russell had been called to the conduct of
the Roman Goveiment towards Mr. Home.
TERRITORY OF DHAR.

Lord STANLEY asked the Secretary of State for India,
whether the territory of Dhar, confiscated during the war
of 1857-8, and promised to be restored to its native ruler,
had been restored ; and, if not,when the cession would take
effect.

Sir C. WOOD said it was intended to have given the son
of the late Rajah the government of the territory, but he
was at first physically incompetent and also too inexpe-
rienced in bu;:iness for the position. He had since improved,
and the Government of the country was carried on by his
idiniaters.

LIGHT SHIP AT HOLYHEAD.

Mr. STANLEY asked the President of the Board of
Trade if instructions had been given to remove the light
ship at Holyhead, and erect a lighthouse on the structure
of the northern breakwater ?

Mr M. GIBSON said that instructions had been given on
the subject.
REPORTS OF FACTORY INSPECTORS.

Mr. F. S. POWELL asked the Secretary of State for
the Home Department whether the reports of factory in-
spectors, as printed and circulated, are copies of those
originally sent in by the Inspectors; if not, what are the
regulations under which recision of those reports is con-
ducted.

Sir G. GREY said that the last instructions had been
issued about nine years ago, pointing out to the inspectors
that their reports should be calmly written, and that they
ought to avoid any matter calculated to lead to public con-
troversy. Since then there had been no occasion to revise
these reports. It would be inexpedient to lay the reports
on the table, as the names of different persons were intro-
duced into them.
THE BRADFORD RESERVOIRS.

Mr. FERRAND asked the Secretary of State for the
Rome Department if Mr. Rawlinson, the Government
engineer, had sent in his report on the Bradford Reser-
voirs; and, if not, when he would do so ?
Sir G. GREY said, from what ha understood, Mr. Raw-
lineon was endeavouring to make his report as complete as
possible, and that there would be no unnecessary delay on
his part• in presenting it.

POLAND.

The Nord publishes the following despatch from
Breslau, dated 21st :—" The Breslau Gazette an-
nounces that at Woyern, in the Grand Duchy of
Posen, a Prussian Captain of the 49th Regiment of
the Line, with 11 men, having lost their way,arrived
at Wturck, on Russian territory. The Prussian
soldiers there fired on some Russian cavalry, be-
lieving them to be a body of insurgents. They
were immediately surrounded by 400 Russians,
commanded by Colonel Nelldotff, disarmed and con-
ducted to \Vole) kin, but were liberated on the fol-
lowing diy. The Russian colonel was challenged to
fight by the Prussian captain, but refused to give
the required satisfaction."

DEFENCE OF THE BRITISH CHANNEL,

In reply to Mr. NEWDEGATE,
Lord PALNIERSTON said ho was informed by his
noble friend, the Secretary of the War Department, that
sites had been obtained for the erection of batteries if they
were found necessary.

THE FORTIFICATIONS AT SPITHEAD.
In reply to Mr. B. osBORNE,
Lord FALMERSTON said that the works at Spithead,
with the exception or those at Sunbridge, would be pro-
ceeded with, and the reason of discontinuing those at the
latter place was that there was not a proper foundation
there.

Mr. B. OSBORNE—Then I am to understand that these
latter works will not be carried on.

Lord PA.LMEILSTON—CertaiuIy, not when there is no
foundation. (Laughter.)
THE BREHON LAWS.
Mr. M'MAHON asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
when the Erehon Laws, now in course of arrangement and
translation, would be published.
Sir IL PEEL said. that ono of the volumes had been

lished.

LIGHT SHIP AT HOLYHEAD.

Mr. STANLEY asked the President of the Board of
Trade if irfetractions had been given to remove the light
ship at Holyhead, and erect a lighthouse on the structure
of the northern breakwater ?

Mr M. GIBSON that instructions had been given on
the sulject.

REPORTS OF FACTORY INSPECTORS.

Mr. F. S. POWELL asked the Secretary of State for
the Home Department whether the reports of factory in-
spectors, as printed and circulated, are copies of those
originally sent 'any the Inspectors; if not, what are the
regulations under which revision of those reports is con-
ducted.

Sir G. GREY said that the last instructions had been
issued about nine years ago, pointing out to the inspectors
that their reports should be calmly written, and that they
ought to avoid any matter calculated to lead to public con-
troversy. Since then there had been no occasion to revise
these reports. It would be inexpedient to lay the reports
on the table, as the names of different persons were intro-
duced into them.
THE BRADFORD RESERVOIRS.

Mr. FERRAND asked the Secretary of State for tho
Rome Department if Mr. Rawlinson, the Government
engineer, had sent in his report on tha Bradford Reser-
voirs; and, if not, when he would do so ?
Sir G. GREY said, from what he understood, Mr. Raw-
Lama was endeavouring to make his report as complete as
possible, and that there would be no unnecessary delay on
his part in presenting it.

DEFENCE OF THE BRITISH CHANNEL.
In reply to Mr. NEWDEGATE,
Lord PALNIERSTON said he was informed by his
noble friend, the Secretary of the War Department, that
sites had been obtained for the erection of batteries if they
were found necessary.
THE FORTIFICATIONS AT SPITHEAD.
In reply to Mr. 13, OSBORNE,
Li-rd PALMERSTON said that the works at Spithead,
with the exception of those at Sunbridge, would be pro -
ceedd wirht and the reason of discontinuing those at the
latter place was that there was not a proper foundation
there.

Mr, E. 0380 RN —T en 1 Gun to understand that these
latter works Will not be carried cr"

Lord P USTON —Certainly, not when tlrre is no
foundation, (Laughter.)
THE BREHON LAWS.
Mr, M‘MAHOS asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
when the Brehon Laws, now in course of arrangement and
translation, would be published.
Sir R. PEEL said that ono of the volumes had been
and would shortly be pub-
completed by Mr O'Donovan,

RETIRING PENSIONS.

Lord CHELMSFORD called the attention of the First
Lord of the Admiralty to the Order in Council of the Ist
August, 1800, upon those naval captains who did not be-
come applicants for the allotments by the Order in Council
Ist of September, 1810, and 25th June, 1851.
The Duke of SOMERSET contended that no injustice
had been done by the order referred to, which, together
with several previous orders, had been passed for the gene-
ral benefit of the service. In fact, the officers who made
complaint had, by these orders, been placed in a position
which, under the conditions on which they had entered the
service, they could not have expected to attain for some
years to come.

The question elicited some further discussion, and
The house adjourned at 7 o'clock.

THE ROMAN GOVERNMENT AND MR. HOME,

Mr. ROEBUCK gave notico that on going into cotn
mitten of supply, on Monday, he would ask whether the
attention of Earl Russell had been called to the conduct of
the Roman Goverment towards Mr. Home.
TERRITORY OF DHAR.

Lord STANLEY asked the Secretary of State for India,
whether the territory of Dhar, confiscated during the war
of 1367-8, and promised to be restored to its native ruler,
had been restored ; and, if no`,when the cession would take
effect.

Sir C. WOOD said it was intended to have given the son
of the late Rajah the government of the territory, but he
was at first physically incompetent and also too inexpe-
rienced in business for the position. He had since improved,
and the Government of the country was carried on by his
Xiniaters.

THE lONIAN ISLANDS.

A letter from Corfu, of the 4th inst., states :
" Further portions of the fortifications of Vido have
been destroyed during the past week, and the huge and
rugged heaps of masonry can now be plainly seen from the
town. One object particularly strikes the attention ; it is a
permanent gun platform, thrown over on its side,
and it is alr-ost, if luit 'quite, intact. Similar instances
have occurred with other platforms in this fortress, which
have not been broken. Gunpowder itself has been unable
to shatter these hard and solid blocks. The martello tower
on the north side of the island was blown up ; it rose
slightly, then burst open, and fell in a thousand pieces,
adding its quota to the ruins already existing around it.
There yet remain some large portions of this fortress to be
destroyed."

The same letter contains the following paragraph
on the finaucaspf the Islands :—" The deficiency in
the funds necessary for the payment of the ex-
penses of the State for the past month
has been made good by the Government out
of the municipal chest. The decision of the
Special Commission has just been given in
favour of the muni3ipality, as against the Go-
vernment, vesting in the former certain property
known as public property, producing a large annual
rental, together with a large sum for mesne profits,
the whole of which sums ought to be devoted to the
purposes of local government only. Within a week
or two after this decision is given the municipal
chest is emptied by the Government for its own
purposes. This is a very strong measure, and is in
effect making Corfu pay for the other islands. It
the union with Greece is not effected before the end
of the present month, the Government will again
have to tax their ingenuity to provide money for
the current expenses."
London, England, 1864-04-23

BURYING DEAD BODIES IN INDIA.

Lord STANLEY asked the Secretary of State for India
whether it was true that the Government of 'Bengal had
issued an order prohibiting the burning of dead bodies on
the banks of the Hooghly river; whether the terms of that
order, and the reasons on whieh it was baaed,had been made
known to him; and, if so, whether there was any objection
to make them public ?

Sir C. WOO said thera were no despatches on the sub-
ject, but he had received private letters, from which
it appeared that for some weeks the cholera had been pre-
valent in Calcutta, and the inhabitants had been consider-
ing what steps should be taken to prevent the eat ension
of the disease. Throwing dead bodies into the Hooghly
had been prohibited. With regard to the burniag of dead
bodies, he understood that there had been no order on the
subject.

Posen, a Prussian Captain of the 49th Regiment of
the Line, with 11 men, having lost their way,arrived
at Wturck, on Russian territory. The Prussian
soldiers there fired on some Russian cavalry, be-
lieving them to be a body of insurgents. They
were immediately surrounded by 400 Russians,
commanded by Colonel Nelldorff, disarmed and con-
ducted to Woley kin, but were liberated on the fol-
lowing day. The Russian colonel was challenged to
fight by the Prussian captain, but refused to give
the required satisfaction."
