Notwithstanding that we had anticipated and
prepared for an immense circulation, the demand
on Tuesday was at once so rapid that the whole of

hours after we went to press. We are still enabled,

though not without difficulty, to meet the yet in-

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1863.

The House of Lords met for a short time yester-
day. The Lord Chancellor was not present, owing
to the death of Lady Westbury.
In answer to the Earl of Airlie,
Earl DI GREY said it was true that about 2,700
barrels containing 100 tons ofgu npowder •were stored
under the Castle of Edinburgh for the use of the
troops in Scotland, but it was kept for many years
in a bomb proof magazine, and there was no reason
to fear for its security.
The Earl of MALMESBURY called attention to the
fact of his having seen a large quantity of inflam-
mable material on the quay by the river at the
Tower.

Earl DE GREY said stores were always being
issued from the Tower, but he had heard of no ac.
cumulation of combustible material there.
The house then adjourned.
In the House of Commons, Mr. SOMES moved
for leave to bring in a bill to close public-houses
on Sunday.
Mr. PACKE opposed its introduction.
Mr. ROEBUCK suggested that in the event of such
a bill being read a second time, he should move that
it be extended to every club in London.
Sir G. GREY said he would not oppose the intro-
duction of the bill, but he could not support it un-
less very much modified.
On a division, the motion for leave to bring in
the bill was caried by 141 to 52.
Mr. W. FORSTER moved for a select committee
to inquire into the operation of the laws relating to
game, and to report whether in their opinion any,
and if any what, alterations were required therein.
The hon. gentleman observed that there appeared
to be a general agreement last session on both sides
of the house that a select committee should he ap-
pointed on the subject. The bill paned in the
expiring hours of last session was necessarily a
hasty and ill-considered piece of legislation, and
he thougkt the best course that could be par-
sued in dealing with a subject so unsatisfactory
and ill-defined as the game laws would be to
submit it to the full and deliberate consideration
of a select committee. He had no desire to stop
fair sport, for he believed that the maintenance of
a moderate amount of game was an indictment to
country gentlemen to live on their estates; but he
would endeavour to remove from the people the
temptation to break the law which an excess of
game engendered. Another subject worthy of in-
quiry was whether there should not be an altera-
tion in the law which provides for the conviction
and punishment of poachers, it being his opinion
that they should be tried, not summarily by the
justices, but by a jury at quarter sessions.
Viscount ENFIELD seconded the motion.
The motion was seconded by Lord ENFIELD.
Mr. TROMPSON moved as an amendment to the
motion, " That, in the opinion of this House, it is,
desirable that the appointment of a select committee
to inquire into the operation of the game laws
should be postponed until further experience shall
have been obtained of the working of the Preven-
tion of Poaching Act of last session." He thought
the present bill had in many instancesworked satis-
considered that it had not had a fair
fdctorily, and
trial yet.
Sir G. GREY said he felt bound to support the
motion for a select committee, because he had given
a promise last session that he would nut oppose
such a proposition as that which Mr. Forster had
now made.

On a division the amendment was carried by 176
to 157.

Mr. ROEBUCK moved for returns of the names of
all persons who had applied for licenses to change
their names since 1850, and the cases in which they
had been granted, and the fees demanded for such
licenses. He stated his object to be that the law on
the question should be fairly carried out without
the tyrannical interference of officials. Every man
had a right to assume any name he pleased, on any
