IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

ROUSE OF LORDS, June 30.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
BUSINESS OF THE SESSION.
Lord!LYNDHURST took a brief review of the busi-
ness of the session, and thanked the Government for the
firmness with whichl they had resisted the clamour that
-•vas raised out of doors for a dissolution of Parliament
soon after they came into office. The delay which had
taken place before the prorogation had turned out to be
of the greatest benefit to the country, for measures of a
far more valuable and important character had been
Passed in the present session than had been passed for
many Previous years. He therefore thought the present
Government were entitled to the grateful thanks of the
country.
Lord BEAUMONT denied that the credit of passing
he Bills referred to was mainly due to the present
Government. The credit should rather be given to the
moderation of the majority of the other House, and to
the assistance afforded by the Opposition in that and the
oth•ar House to the 'Government in enabling them to
ge,t through the business that was brought forward. He
t:nought that in consequence of the haste with which
some of the measures had been passed they would be
found to be very imperfect when put into operation.
After a few words from Lord Brougham, Lord Beau-
mont, Lord Lyndhurst, and Earl Grey,
The Earl of DERBY expressed his grateful thanks to
the Noble and Learned Lord for the testimony which
he had borne to the course of proceeding
adopted by the Government during the present ses-
sion. He should, however, be exceedingly ungrateful to
their Lordships and the other House if he accepted the
compliment which had been paid to himself and the
other members of the Government without admitting in
the fgankest and most unequivocal manner that,
for the success which had attended the determina-
tion to which they had thought it their duty to
come, they were in a great measure indebted to
that absence of party feeling, both in this and the
other House, which had eminently characterised the
discussions in the present session, and also to the fair-
ness with which their propositions had been re-
seived. Had that not been so, the period of time
said have rendered it exceedingly difficult
t carry into effect those measures which they
conceived to be of vital importance. If the
Government were entitled to any thanks, it was for hav-
ing resisted the importunity from various quarters with
which it was urged upon them to dissolve Parliament at

was mainly owing to the zeal and knowledge
which was brought to bear on the subject by
the present Lord Chancellor. In addition to
these, they thought it important no longer to delay
effect carrying into a measure for giving
representative institutions to New Zealand. They were
also anxious to contribute to the'health of the metropolis
by promoting a system of extramural interment, and
improving and increasing the supply of water. If, there-
fore, they deserved credit for anything, it was for
having justly estimated the degree of public spirit which
they believed prevailed in this and the other House.

It was a source of great gratification to hear that that short
session had been marked with as great an advance of
session, or with a stronger Government at
affairs. He confessed that the opposition which had

Parliament. Upon one question, certainly, his colleagues
ja the other House had been left in a minority, but
the reasons which led to it were not so much
based on the nature of : the measure itself,
as it being considered a departure from the understand-
ing which was laid down at the commencement of the
session, that no measure should be introduced which was
not of an absolutely necessary character. At the
same time, he gratefully acknowledged that while
the Government had acted on this understanding
to the best of their ability, they had not
been met with any factious opposition and had en-
countered none but perfectly fair and honest opposition.
To their Lordships he owed special thanks for the Hind-
nests which they had shown him in carrying on the
necessary business of the Government in that
House. He thought if they had followed the
advice that had been recommended by some gen-
tleman, and dissolved the Parliament on first
taking office, and have summoned a new one, which
would probably have met about this time, he was per-
suaded that time would have been wanting for carrying
out those great sad important measures which
had lately passed through both Houses, and he
thought, too, that if they had been introduced at the
commencement of a new Parliament the public attention
would have been addressed to them less with a reference
to their intrinsic merits than to party feeling. He him-
self thought that they ought to be considered without any
reference to party feeling, ho„did not wish that party
feelings should pervade all their discussions. It was his
aim and that of the Government to reconcile the
different classes of the country, and to obtain
the confidence of the country at large by doing what
they believed to be for the benefit of all.
Earl GREY allowed that many important measures
had been passed. bat he did not think the Government
were entitled to take as much credit for them as they
seemed to take. Their passing was rather to be attri-
buted to the political interregnum which had taken place,
and to the fact of the Government having adopted the
measures of their predecessors—measures which they
had. in some instances, opposed when in opposition.
Lord BEAUMONT could not admit the correctness
of the Noble Lord's (Derby) statement, that he had
carried out his policy—he had merely carried out that
of the former Government.

CONSOLIDATED FUND APPROPRIATION BILL.
On the motion for the third reading of this Bill,
Lord BROUGHAM took occasion to point out tho
inquiries which he thought the Committee appointed to
investigate the working of the county courts ought to
pursue. The Noble Lord repeated the eulogium which
he had passed last night on the system, and also ad-
verted to the efforts which have been made for a revision
of the criminal code. He suggested the Commission to
inquire should be based on the Chancery Commission.
After a few words from the Marquis of SALISBURY,
the Bill was read a third time and passed.
Their Lordships then adjourned during pleasure.

The House resumed at a Quarter to Four, and a mes-
sage was received from the House of Commons, inform-
ing their Lordships that the Commons disagreed to the
Lords' amendment on the Improvement of the Jurisdic-
tion in Equity Bill.
Lord COLCHESTER moved that their Lordships do
not persist in their amendment, which was agreed to.
Several other eae‘,sages were received, and their Lord-
ships adjourned at Four o'clock.
