IMPERIAL PARLLIZENT

HOUSE OF LORDS.—Last Evening.
The Lord Chancellor took his seat at the usual hour.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The Tranmere Docks, Birkenhead Improvement, Dublin
Corporation Water, Skipton Gas, and Dublin, Wicklow, and
Wexford Railway bills were read a second time.

THIRD READING.
The London, Chatham, and Dover Railway (No. 1),
Lowestoft Water, Gas, and Market, Rixton and Warbur-
ton-bridge, and Blackfriar's-bridge bills were read a third
time and passed.
SPEED OF LOCOMOTIVES.
Lord BROUGHAM asked whether there was any inten-
tion on the part of the Government to introduce any mea-
sure to affix a maximum speed to railways. The dreadful
accidents that had taken place lately rendered Government
interference highly necessary ; but at the same time he must
say he was decidedly against any occasional legislation,
because the laws made on such occasions generally took a
one •sided view of the subject. Four years ago he had
spoken against the high rate of speed on English railways,
compared with those in foreign countries, on which sect-
dente less frequently occurred ; and he was told that 50, 60,
or 70 miles could be run with safety, but notwithstanding
that he still maintained his views, and the late horrid
accidents fortified him in his opinion. The greatest danger
was also incurred in consequence of the practice of engine-
drivers, in order to pick up lost time, putting on the
steam beyond the bounds of safety, and the result being
calamities of the most distressing description. He hoped
the Government would take the subject into their conside-
ration.

Earl GRANVILLE said he was not aware that the
noble and learned lord intended to ask the question he had
just put, but as far as he knew it was not the intention of
the Government to introduce any measure on the subject.
If they did he thought it very unlikely that Parliament
would pass such a measure. He did not think it was
desirable for the Government to interfere with the manage-
ment of railways, and he thought that the speed on
foreign railways was in many instances greater than
25 miles an hour. The noble lord himself seemed to think
that a great deal of the danger arose in consequence of the
endeavours of the engine-driver to overtake lost time, a
circumstance very difficult to deal with by legislation.
Lord BROUGHAM said he was quite aware of the diffi-
culty of dealing with the subject.
The Earl of HARDWICKE thought if it was made com-
pulsory upon railway companies to keep exact time in
starting the trains according to the time table, a great many
of the accidents would never occur.

The subject then dropped.
DISTURBANCES AT ATHENS.

The Marqnie of NORMANBY asked whether the
Government would have any objection to lay on the table of
the house two despatches, received from Mr. Scarlett since
their lordships last met, relative to the late disturbances at
Athens ?

Earl RUSSELL said he should prefer waiting until he
received further information before he produced the de-
spatches referred to. .

THE BRAZILS.

Earl DERBY said that during the recess telegrams had
been received from Brazil disclosing some matters of im-
portance, and he wished to know whether any correspon-
dence had been received by the Secretary for Foreign
Affairs in reference to that subject. and whether there
would be any objection to produce it ?
Earl RUSSELL said he held in his hand the corres-
pondence referred to, which he was about to lay on tho
table of the house, by command of her Majesty.
THE BURIAL SERVICE.
Lord EBURY rose to move an humble address to her
Majesty praying for the appointment of a committee to
consider what steps should be taken to obviate the evils
complained of, as arising from the present compulsory and
indiscriminate use of the burial service of the Church of
England.
Lord DESART moved that the motion be considered this
day six months.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Granville, the
Archbishop of York, the Bishop of London, the Duke of
Marlborough, the Bishop of St. David's, Lord Stanhope
Lord Chelmsford, Lord Russell, the Bishop of Llandaff:
Lord Grey, Lord Lyttelton, the Bishop of Cashel, and the
Lord Chancellor all advised Lord Ebury to withdraw his
motion.

In the course of a long discussion several suggestions
were made, the Duke of Marlborough proposing to refer
the matter to Convocation, while Lord Stanhope was
opposed both to a Royal commission and to Convocation,
and recommended that the bench of bishops should be
authorised by the Crown to consider this important sub-
ject. Lord Grey thought R would be better to adjourn the
debate for a month, in order to allow;longer time for con-
sideration of the questien, a step advocated likewise by the
Lord Chancellor, who, in the course of his speech, pro-
tested against the Bishop of London advising his clergy on
his own authority to contravene the law.
Lord EBURY, in a brief reply, withdrew his motion
conditionally on a measure being introduced by the bench
of bishops.
The motion, after a few words from the Archbishop of
CANTERBURY, was withdrawn.
The Stock Certificates to Bearer Bill and the Customs
and Inland Revenue Bill were both read a third time and
passed.

Their lordships adjourned at a quarter to eight o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—Last Evening.
The SPEAKER. took the chair at 4 o'clock.

Railway Bill.

PETITIONS.
Several petitions were presented against the sale of in-
toxicating liquors on the Sabbath; Mr. M. GIBSON, from
Ashton-under-Lyne, saying that the petitioners required
recreation and refreshment on the Sabbath, and objected to
the closing of public-houses en the Sabbath.
Mr. COBDEN presented a petition from the licensed
victuallers of Rochdale against the bill for closing public
houses on the Sunday, and one from the magistrates and
inhabitants of the town in favour of it.

CHINA—LIEUTENANT TINLING.
Lord C. PAGET desired to correct a reply which he gave
to a question the other evening with respect to the death
of Lieutenant Tinling. He stated that no official in-
formation had been received at the Admiralty on
the subject. It appeared, however, that a letter had been
received from Captain Dew, sent to Admiral Cupar, inti-
mating the death of that officer, whose services and gal-
lantry he highly eulogised,

ACT OF 'UNIFORMITY.
Mr. M. MILNES gave notice that on the 9th of June he
intended to move an amendment to the motion of the hon.
member for Maidstone with respect to the Act of Unifor-
mity having relation to the Thirty-nine Articles.
THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.
Mr. GREGORY gave notice that he Should, to-morrow,
ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer to what purpose the
international building,which the Government had intimated
their intention to purchase, would be devoted, andLwhen
the estimate would be laid before the house—(hear, hear)
and if so, whether he would make a statement to the
house, and when ; whether the domes would be replaced
by other structures, and if so, when these embellishments
of London and the vicinity would be carried out. (Hear,
and laughter.)
RECRUITING FOR THE FEDERALS IN
IRELAND.

Mr. HOPWOOD asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
whether her Majesty's Government were aware that the
Federals were recruiting in Ireland, and if they were pre-
paring to take steps to prevent it?
Sir R. PEEL replied that the Government was aware
that Federal agents had been at work in Ireland, but, as
t2endid not recruit openly, their proceedings were very
4ffilt
f detection. Numbers of young men bad gone
.reend
to belioe whoop passages had been paid. He had reason
the that lrish in America had been induced to
active steps rs ,,°ustis kind. The Government were taking
ver the agents.

GALWAY PACKET COMPANy AN
orze to
bound
the Treasury
NEWFOUNDLAND. AND T. joinsrs,
Mr. KEKEWICH asked the Secret
whether the Galway Packet Company
by their
contract to land wails as well as telegrams when the bhipa
called at St. John's, Newfoundland ?
Mr. F. PEEL explained that a difference of opinion pre-
veiled on the subject which had not yet been adjusted.
VENTILATION OF THE HOUSE.
Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the First Commissioner of
Works whether, in this warm weather, it would not be
better to ventilate the house by the ordinary expedient of
opening the windows, rather than continue the present
mode of shutting the windows carefully, and pumping up
the air from the cellars below the house ?
Mr. COWPER replied that if the proposition of the hon.
gentleman were adopted the air would neither be so cool or
so pure as at the present moment. (Hear, hear.) It was
not correct to say that the air was pumped out of a cellar
below the house. If the hon. member would go below--
(laughter)—he would find that very excellent arrangements
prevailed, which originated with Mr. Gurney, for purifying
the air hon. members breathed. The air was admitted in
the mostbyd naturalo
pure way into chambers, where it was washed
at a spear ate ir water from its impurities, and then passed
were adopted to clean chambers where chemical means
waather was cola clear of an impurities. When the
Wall warmed, and when warm it

was iced. (Hear, and laughter.) The average heat just
now indicated by the thermometefwas 64, and when it was
78 outside it was 65 within, exhibiting a diffe,, rce of 13
degrees. (Hear, hear.) If, therefore, the w n owe were
opened they should have a hotter and less pure atmosphere.
Whenever any benefit would arise the w ndows were
opened.:
THE PURCHASE OF THE INTE ATIONAL
BUILDING.
Lord J. MANNERS inquired the price the Government
had agreed to pay for the building.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied
that an arrangement had been come to with the Commis-
sioners and the contractors subject to the sanction of the
house. The price agreed to be paid was £120,000, and
£BO,OOO to the contractors for the residue of their claim,
but exclusive of the annexes. (Hear, hear.) He should
shortly fix a day when he should bring the whole matter
before the house. He should not Heck for the vote in a
Committee of Supply, He should bring the matter before
the house on Monday.
