BRAZIL.

The Earl of MALNESBURY gave notice that on this

GREAT EASTERN (METROPOLITAN EXTEN-

SION) BILL.
The further debate was adjourned till Monday in conse-
quence of the indisposition of the Earl of Derby.
ILLEGITIMATE CHILDREN (IRELAND) BILL,
The Duke of NEWCASTLE moved the 2d reading of
this bill, which he declared as simply an interpretation
clause of the 10th section of the Irish Poor Relief Bill of
ltzet session.
_The clause gave power to the guardians to
recover from putative fathers the cost of sup-
porting their children while under fourteen yo.ars
of age by piecess before the assistant-barrister at quarter-
sessions. Owing to the wording of the act there had arises
a difference of opinion among these functionaries; some
holding that the ass start-barrister was to be the judge not
only of the paternity, but of the claim. On the other hand,
it was held that the magistrates at quarter-sessions were
the proper parties to adjudicate. This bill was intended to
define the jurisdiction, and would place the whole jurisdic-
tion in the hands of the assistant-barrister.
Lord LIFFORD moved that this bill be read a second
time this day six months, as its adoptiou:would be cruel to
the woman, and as intebding to cast a slur upon the ability
of the quarter sessions to adjudicate in such matters.
Lord CHELMSFCILD proposed that the bill and a cog-
nate bill of Lord Lifford should both be read a second time
and then referred to a select committee.
After a few words from Lord CLANRICARDE and Lord
CIA.NV ORTIL,
The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he could not admit the
necessity of a select committee, as it would cause unneces-
sary delay in remedying the evils whieh the bill attacked.
The LORD CHANCELLOR supported the suggestion
of referring the bills to a select committee.
Lord LIFFORD having withdrawn his motion, the bill
was read a second time and referred to a select committee.

THE GALWAY SUBSIDY.
The Earl of HARDWICKE asked the Postmaster-Ge-
neral whether, in connexion with the proposed restoration
of the " Galway subsidy," it was intended to make any al-
teration as to the port of departure or destination of the ves-
sels of the Atlantic Royal Mail Steam Navigation Com-
pany carrying her Majesty's mails to America ; and whether
any arrangement having such an object in view was con-
templated by her Majesty's Government, or had been pro-
posed by the company in question ?
Lord ST aNLEY said that no communication from the
company had yet been received by the Government ; and
before any proposal could be entertained the company must
satisfy the Admiralty that it had a sufficient number of
ships able to perform the service.
Lord HARDWICKE—But a
wim I
to understand that an
Irish and not an English port ll be selected
Lord STANLEY—Certainly.
Their lordships rose at 7 o'clock.
