IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF COMMONS--Tms EVENING.
The SPEAKER, took the chair at the usual hour.
THE WATERWORKS BILL.
Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice that, on the second reading
of this bill, he should move that it be referred to a select
committee.

EXHIBITION OF REFORMATORY CHILDREN.
Mr. T. MILLER asked the Secretary for the Home De-
partment whether his attention had been called to a pro-
posed exhibition of Reformatory children to be held at the
Agricultural Hall, Islington, on the 25th of May next, and
whether it met with his sanction and approbation ?
Sir G. GREY said his attention had not been directed
to the matter until the hon. member placed his question on
the paper. That morning he received by post a printed
paper, which stated that it was to be an exhibition
of the products of industrial schools, and it stated
further, that a thousand of these children would attend
and perform pieces of music on successive days. He
agreed with what he understood to be the feeling
of the hon. member, that it was highlyilinexpedient
that children should be exhibited in the way proposed.
He had addressed a letter to Mr. Turner, one of the in-
spectors, who said that no children from the reformatory
schools would be allowed to attend, and that only the chil-
dren of industrial schools were contemplated by the pro-
moters of the movement.

Mr. MILLER—From the Middlesex Industrial Schools.
Sir G. GREY said they wore not reformatory schools
under the control of the Government.
_ OBSOLETE ACTS OF PARLIAMENT.

In reply to Mr. HADFIELD,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he did not think he
should be able to introduce a bill this session.
GREENWICH HOSPITAL.
Mr. CHILDERS moved for leave to bring in a bill to
provide for the better government of tho Greenwich Hos-
pital, and the more beneficial application of the revenues
thereof. The hon. gentleman explained for the future
the hospital would be devoted exclusively to the use of
infirm seamen, and to those in want of temporary medi-
cal assistance. The income of the institution was
about £1.54,000, and the management of that fund
would bo distinct from that of the management of

the expenditure. The latter would be placed under the
guardianship of the House of Commons, and a comptroller
would be appointed to arrange the estates which would be
vested in the Board of Admiralty. He estimated that there
would be a surplus of £13,000 a year after the payment of
expenses, pensions, &c., and that sum it was proposed
should be allowed to accumulate.
Mr. LIDDELL and Sir J. HAY gave their general approval
of the scheme.
