PRIVATE BUSINESS,

howell Railway.

PETITIONS.

Earl DERBY presented a petition from the inhabitants
of Bishopsgate Ward, in the city of London, praying their
lordships to protect them from the inroads of nine proposed
railways. These railways did not include the North Lon-
don Railway, which had already taken four acres of ground
from the ward.
THE SEIZURE OF RAMS IN THE MERSEY.

The Earl of DERBY again referred to the question he
had put to the noble earl on a former occasion respecting
the seizure of the steam rams in the Mersey, the produc-
tion of which he had stated would be injurious to the public
service. Since that answer, the matter had been discussed
in another place, and the greater portion of the correspon-
dence had been promised to be produced. He should like
to know whether the noble earl was still of opinion that the
production of those papers would be prejudicial to the pub-
lie service, and if not, he should like to know what had
caused the revolution is his opinion.
Earl RUSSELL said the noble earl had somewhat mis-
represented his reply. The answer he had given was, the
iaw officers of the Crown considered the production of those
papers would result in incomplete discussions of the legal
point at issue, and thus prejudice the result of the cause:before
the courts of law. The reason that had led him to make that
observation was that the law officers of the Crown had
given it as their opinion that the papers should be produced.
He gave that answer when he was asked to lay the papers
on the table of the house. Since the law officers had stated
in the other house that there would be no objection to give the
majority of the papers asked for, he (Earl Russell) had no
objection as far as he was concerned that the papers should
be given to Parliament. In accordance with the promise
he had given the noble earl on a former occasion, that he
would look over the correspondence, he now begged to lay
on the table the papers he had selected.

A short discussion then ensued, in which the Earl of
Derby, Lord Chelmsford, Earl Granville, and the Earl of
Carnarvon took place, at the termination of which the sub-
ject dropped.
THE AFFAIRS OF DENMARK.

The Earl of MALMESBURY asked that further and
more recent information with regard to the state of Den-
mark should be published. The noble earl said that numer-
ous statements were daily appearing in the public papers,
which were doubtless in many respects unreliable. They
were obliged to collect information kona garbled statements
made in the German and French newspapers and pamphlets,
as they were not provided with reliable information.
Earl RUSSELL said a great deal of the correspondence
asked for by the noble earl had been published that
morning. -
