WOOL.

Notwithstanding that there is somewhat increased ease
in the money market, business in wool has not materially
increased since we last wrote. The state of German affairs
opera:.'s prej adicially to the trade, but holders are, for the
moo. part, Arm, and the quotations are without important
charge. The ariivals of colonial wool since the close of last
have been—

IMPERIAL rANAIAmENT

-
HOUSE OP LORDS—This Evening.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at

five o'clock.
THE CRAWLEY COURT MARTIAL.
Lord COLVILLE, in conequence of nrequest from the
noble earl, the Secretary of War, postponect putting the
question relative to the late court martial, which stood on
the paper in his name for this evening, until Friday next.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The following bills were read a second time !—Amicable
Life Assurance, London Docks, St. Katherine's Dock
and Victoria Dock Amalgamation, Victoria (London)
Docks, Albert Bridge and Approaches, Cheltenham Water-
works, Liverpool Exchange, Landon Necropolis and Na-
tional Mausoleum, Ulveraton Gas, and Waterford and
Limerick, Limerick and Foynes, and RatUeale and New-
castle Junction Railways.
THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY SCHEMES.
The Earl of DONOUGHMORE called the attention of
the noble earl, the President of the Council, to a paragraph
which appeared in the Times of that morning, giving
what appeared to be the result of the dOiberations
of the joint -committee appointed to consider the
Whole of the schemes of metropolitan rail-
ways, He felt that it was exceedingly undesirable that
any premature information on such a subject should be
given to the public, because it would affect to a consider-
able extent the value of the shares in many of those under-
takings. He was certain that the noble earl had not given
his sanction to the publication of such a paragraph, and he
should like to give him an opportunity of saying so in his
place in Parliament.
Earl GRANVILLE said the committee in qaestion had
not only not made their report, but had not concluded their
deliberations, so that the announcement contained in the
paragraph was altogether premature.
THE PROPOSED ROYAL ARCADE.
On the motion for the second reading of this bill,
The Bishop of LONDON presented petitions against the

bill.
Earl DERBY presented two petitions, most numerously
signed, also against the bill, and moved the rejection of the
measure. He said the scheme in question was opposed
most strenuously by a great number of the residents, both
in Regent-street and Broad-street, who considered that the
scheme instead of being, as it was stated, a great
improvement, would be precisely the reverse. The
cost of the proposed arcade was £lOO,OOO, and
was mainly promoted by Mr. Gressett, the great con •
tractor, Mr. Smith a builder, and Mr. Rolt, the timber
merchant, while the inhabitants in the neighbourhood were
entirely averse to the scheme. Their lordships would recol-
lect that the coverad way which existed some short time
ago in Regent-street was removed principally in conse-
quence of the questionable company which collected there,
and if the proposed arcade was allowed to be made the same
evil would again prevail. Another reason that should weigh
with their lordships was that, it would entirely destroy the
Burlington School, which was an institu.tion of the greatest
value. The Messrs. Lewis and Allenby who carried on an
extensive business in the neighbourhood said that the loss
to them if the arcade was made would be such that they would
rather pay down a sum of £lO,OOO than the scheme should
be carried into execution. There Vas not one person whose
property was affected by the project who had not objected
to it. He thought the wishes of the owners of property in
the neighbourhood ought to be considered as
w well as those
of the three highly respectable gentlemen ho were the
main promoters of the measure, and that too for speculative
purposes. Ho thought its opponents should not be put to
the expenses of opposing the bill in. committee that he
moved its rejection on its second reading.
Earl ST. GERMANS said although the vestry of St.
George's, Hanover-square, had not yet petitioned again' st
the bill, they intended doing se.
After a few words from several noble lords, the motion
was negatived without a division.
Their lordships then adjourned.
