RE-MARRIAGE OF DISSENTERS.

Sir M. PE t 0 asked her Majesty's Government whether
they had heard of the re-marriage of a Mr and Mrs. Hulin
by the Rev. Horatio Walmekley, vicar of St. Briavels,
Gloucestershire, after they had been previously married in
a Dissenting chapel, and on which re-marriage the vicar
entered the parti.s in his register-book as bachelor and
spinster, knowing of the previous marriage; and whether
her Majesty's Government would prosecute the vicar for
making such entries unt..er the statute 7th George IV., sec.
29?
Mr. BRUCE did not consider that the conduct of the
vicar rendered him liable to prosecution under the act spe-
cified. Either the first marriage was valid or not. The
offence might be one against good manners and the views
of man, but not against the law.
NAUTICAL SCHOOLS AT GREENWICH.
Sir M. PETO asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty
whether, any deoision had .yet been come to. by t heAdmi.-
ralty with respect. tot the building for the Nautical School
School at Greenwick; and whether
.the objects
,aimed at
could be gained without incurring so large an outlay for
additional buildings as contemplated ?
Mr. STANSFELD, in the first place, intimated that
through a mistake in one of the Malta papers, a despatch
from Aciniiral Codrinston at Malta had not been in-
cluded in the correspondence on tire table. The Secretary
for the Admiralty had been blamed for not printing the
letter, but the accident was no fault of his. The omission
would be rectified without any further delay. The hon.
gentleman then entered into a lengthened explanation of
the steps taken with respect to the enlargement of these
schools, so as to adapt them to present requirements and the
health of the 800 boys. The cost of the new wing, instead
of costing £25,000, would not exceed £3,000 or £4,000, and
the alterations in the chapel about £750. The boys
would attend the chapel with all the other inmates of the
college.
THE ORDER OF ST. MICHAEL AND ST.
GEORGE.

Lord E. BRUCE asked whether, in the event of the
withdrawal of protection from the lonian Isles, her Ma-
jesty would continue to confer the order of St. Michael and
St. George on persons she might tbink proper.
Mr. FORTESCUE replied that her Majesty would cer-
tainly continue, as heretofore, to hold the power of confer-
ring these honours, and it would not therefore be trans-
ferred to the King of Greece with the lonian Islands.
PAROCHIAL ASSESSMENT.
Mr. PUGH asked the President of the Poor-law Board
whether it was the intention of Government to introduce
next session any bill with instructions to the parochial as-
sessment committees, &c. ?
Mr. VILLIERS was not in a position to state what
course the Government might think proper to adopt in order
to procure a better assessment. Early next session, how-
ever, he should be happy to intimate their intentions.

ject forward by a regular notice. (Hear, hear.)
ROAD AT NIGHT THROUGH HYDE-PARK.
Lord R. CECIL asked the First Commissioner of Works
if he hi,d given attention to a petition from the inhabitants
of Bayswater and Kennington.
Mr. COOPER replied in the affirmative, and that it was
quite impossible to grant its prayer to keep open a road ups
to one o'clock in the morning, because the park. would thll
be thrown open to the bl" and as it consisted. of 300
pule,
acres, it could not be propeily watched, and certainly not
lighted,

BANDEE AND KIRWEE PRIZE MONEY.
In reply to Mr. S. FITZGERALD,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied
that the papers about to be laid on the table would afford the
fullest information on this subject. The matter, as already
explained by the noble lord at the head of the Government,
was in abeysnce.
NENAGH ASSIZES.
Mr, BLAKE ogled the attention of the Secretary for

Ireland to a statement in the newspapers, sayit tg that a
man who had been charged with firing at Mr. Ch we Jones
had been induced, though innocent, by food and promises
of money by the authorities, to sign a false statement that
he was one of the guilty parties.
The ATTORNE Y-GENERAL for IRELAND com-
plained that the question had been put without notice to
those who knew nothing about the matter. He had, how-
ever, received a letter stating that the jury could not agree
with respect to one man.
LORDS' AMENDMENTS.
The Lords' amendments to the following bills were
agreed to : Telegraphs, Companies Clauses, Railway
Clauses, and Charitable Uses.

EXHIBITION MEDALS BILL.
Mr. AYRTOA moved that this bill be read a third time
this day week. He stated his objections to the bill
at great length, and urged the lateness of the session, and
their recent acquaintance with the bill, as a reason for not
agreeing to its provi4ono.
The LORI) MAYOR strongly supported the bill.
Mr. BUTT opposed the meisure, because it would intro-
d ce an entirely new and dangerous principle into the
criminal law.

COI. FRENCH likewise opposed the bill, as also did Mr.
J. POWELL, who had hoped that it might be amended in
Committee.

The house divided, when the e appeared—

should propose a standing order to prevent the surreptitious

hours before those proceedings. (Hear, hear.)
