CARMARTHONSHIRE RAILWAY BILL.
On the motion of Lord RE DESDALE this bill was read
a second time.
THE ITALIAN PROCLAMATION.
The Marquis of NORMANBY gave notice that he in-
tended to move for further papers connected with the recent
proclamation that was embraced in the notice that already
stood in his name on the paper for Monday nest.

y THE LAW LAW OF LUNACY BILL.
The Earl of DERBY said he felt it his duty, in court:-
quence of what had fallen from the noble lord on the wool-
sack, to occupy their attention for a short time, while he
vindicated himself from a charge of inconsistency. He
had sent the noble and learned lord notice of his inten-
tion to bring the subject before their lordships, and the
point he wished particularly to mention was that
he (the Earl of Derby) had been charged with objecting to
a clause brought forward by the Lord Chancellor to which
he had previously assented to in a bill which had been in-
troduced into Parliament by his hon. and learned friend Sir
H. Cairns. He did not know that he could better vindicate
himsel ffrom that charge of inconsistency than by giving
notice that when their lordships went into committee on tho
bill ho should move that the clause in Sir H. Cairns's be
substituted for that which at present formed part
of the bill. The clause to which he referred
made it compulsory that all jury trials of commissions of
lunacy should be taken before one of the superior judges
in place of, as at present, before one of the masters. Now
the clause in his learned friend's bill did not go to that ex-
tremity, but it gave a p ,wer to the effect that in certain cases
the trials might be taken before one of her Majesty's judges,

evening, and he could but regret that remark which had

[LEPT SPEAKING.]

HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tats EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.

NEW MEMBER.
Major O'REILLY, who was introduced by Major Gavin
and the O'Conner Don, took the oaths and his seat on his
election for Longford. The hon. and gallant member took
his place below the gangway on the Ministerial side of tho
house.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The Dartmouth and Torbay Railway Bill was considered,
and ordered for third reading.

PETITIONS.

Some petitions were presented in favour of an amend-
mend of the Irish Poor Law, against the Re'vised Code of
Education, from the Leeds Chamber of Commerce for the
prevention of fraudulent trade marks, &c., &c.
ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH IN INDIA.
In reply to Mr. WHITIC,
Sir C. WOOD said that he believed there had been
some inefficiency in the telegraph service in India, because
the signals were not as perfect as they ought to have been.
An inquiry had been instituted by the authorities in India,
and the result was that the service in question was reor-
ganised. The appointments alluded to were credit-
able, because the gentleman on whom they were
conferred had very high qualifications for the
offices. He was not aware that there had been any im-
proper appointments made in India, and the Government
did not interfere with the same except under some special
circumstances.

METROPOLITAN BISHOP IN CANADA.
Mr. A. MILLS asked the Under Secretary of State for
the Colonies whether a patent, dated July 9, 1961, appoint-
inz a metropolitan bishop in Canada, had been returned
to the Colonial-office for revision ; and whether the attention
of her Majesty's Government had been called to the cir-
cumstance that the patent in question may involve an in-
fraction of the provisions of the Act 19 and 20 Vic. c. 121,
of the Canadian Parliament, by which the appointment of
all ecclesiastical functionaries within the province was
vested in the Canadian synods.
Mr. C. FORTESCUE said that the patent in question
had been returned to the proper quarter for revision. It
was considered desirable to make an alteration in the patent
to meet the altered state of circumstances that had arisen.
MANAGEMENT OF GREENWICH HOSPITAL.
Sir J. HAY asked the Secretary to the Admiralty to state
the course that was intended to be pursued by the Board of
Admiralty, to carry out the recommendations of the royal
commission-appointed to inquire into the management of
Greenwich Hospital.
Lord C. PAGET said he understood his hon. and gallant
friend's question to refer to the re-introduction of the bill
of last session. The Government had no such intention, in
consequence of tho unfavourable manner in which the
measure had been received by both houses of Parliament.

he contended that according to the correspondence with the
universities of Oxford and Cambridge it appeared theauthorities were prepared to make provision within these
institutions for the training of those who were intended for
the army. If they reversed their decision it would form a
precedent on which they would be asked to carry out the
original plan, and to incur a large annual expenditure for
that purpose.
Mr. B. OSBORNE objected to the proposal of the right
hon. baronet (Sir G. Lewis) having been delayed until
new, for before this evening they had no knowledge of the
scheme propounded by Government. He remembered the
vote last session was granted at midnight on the 12th of June
in a rather hurried manner, and he, amongst other mem-
bers, was under the impression that all candidates for com
missions were to spend 12 months at Sandhurst. It ap-
peared, however, that such was not the case. He consi-
dered that it was most desirable that all candidates for the
army should have a special training before they
joined a regiment, instead of at present coming from
the university without any special knowledge of theirm
profession, and the result was that unnecessary expeusetThe
incurred. He was ready for these reasoLs to suppoer
