THE CASE OF CAPT. WHITE.

In reply to the Earl of SHAFTESBURY,
Earl RUSSELL stated that the papers in reference to
case were not yet ready.
MILFORD DOCK BILL.

This bill was placed on the paper for a third reading,
but in consequence of some objections having been made it
was not proceeded with.
The Earl of CARNARVON wished to know the reason
for not proceeding with the measure, and also why the Ad-
miralty had withdrawn their opposition to the bill which
they had opposed some years ago.
The Duke of SOMERSET said the measure was opposed
in the first instance because it would interfere very largely
with the tidal water, and also because ships proceeding to
the dock would anchor in a channel which would prove a
great obstruction to Pembroke Dockyard. It had been ascer-
tained that the bill now before Parliament would
not affect the tidal water to the same extent as
the former one, and as a clause had been inserted which
would limit the anchorage of ships in the channel he had
before alluded to one tide, the Admiralty considered their
objections had in a great measure been removed, and as
the docks would prove a great public ad%antage, they had
no objection to the bill being read a third time.
Lord REDESDALE said the bill had been placed for a
third reading in the ordinary manner as an unopposed bill,
but as it was found there were objections to it, it had been
removed. He would take care that noble lords should have
due notice when the bill was set down for a third reading.
The subject then dropped.
SUITORS' CONCILIATION BILL.
Lord BROUGHAM said he should postpone pressing
for a second reading of this bill until Tuesday next.;
WAYWARDEN'S CONTRACTS BILL.
Lord REDESDALE moved the second reading of this
bill.
Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said the bill was en-
tirely unnecessary, because the matter had already been
dealt with by previous legislation.
This bill was read a second time.
LEASES AND SALES OF SETTLED ESTATE ACT

AMENDMENT BILL.
On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, the
house went into committee on this bill.
Lord CHELMSFORD moved an addition to one of the
clauses, which, in effect, gave Sir T. M. Wilson the power
to apply to the Court of Qhancery for permission to build
on certain portions of his estate.
Lord EBURY said he had just presented a petition from
the Board of Works against such a provision as was sought
to be introduced into the bill by the noble lordd's addition.
He thought it would certainly interfere with the
passing of the measure, as the House of Commons only last
evening rejected a bill which had been introauced for about
the sixth time, by which Sir Thomas Wilson would be en-
abled to apply to the Court of Chancery for permission to
grant building leases on certain portions of his estate which
he was not at liberty to do at present.
The proviso of Lord Chelmsford was added to the bill.

CHINA.
Lard NAAS gave notice that in consequence of the ab-
sence of the noble lord at the head of the Government,
which they all deplored, he should not bring on his motion
on China to-night.
Sir G. GREY said the noble lord had requested him to
express his regret at his unavoidable absence through in-
disposition.lie would therefore postpone his:motion on for-
tifications until Monday nest, and immediately after that
was disposed of, would proceed•with the vote for the Ex-
hibition building.
CHINESE INDEMNITY.
Col. SYKES asked the Secretary of the Treasury how
it is intended to appropriate the balance of nearly half a
million of dollars of the first Chinese indemnity remaining
in the Treasury, and whether any rejected claims will be
reconsidered ?
Mr, PEEL said no claims would be reopened with re-
gard to the half-million dollars. He imagined they were
paid to meet the expenses of the army.
BERNARD M'LAUGHLIN.
Mr. HENNESSY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
whether the attention of thelPoor •law Commissioners has

the workhouse, named Bernard M'Laughlin, half a pound
of broad, which had been ordered by the medical ,officer as

EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND.
Mr. DUNLOP asked the Lord Advocate whether it was

if so, the putting of the Revised Code in operation in that
part of the United Kingdom would be postponed until the
result of such inquiry be reported ?
MARY ANNE WALKLEY.
Mr. DAMSON asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Departmentwhether his attention had been drawn to
the case of Mary Anne Walkley, decease:, and the word-
ing of the verdict delivered by the coroner's inquest em-
panneled to investigate the circumstances of her death ;
and if it would not be desirable and humane to introduce
legislation for the purposes of limiting and defining the
hours of labour in millinery and other establishments where
females are employed
Sir G. GREY said his attention had been called to the
subject. He could only repeat what he said the other night,
that it would be impossible to establish a system of regis-
tration applicable to rooms in private houses.

Home Department why the report of the directors of Irish

gree of M.A. in these universities, may obtain the e:temp-
