ITALIAN BRIGANDS.
Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the Under Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs whether, without imprudence, he was
able to give the house any further account of the proba-
bility of obtaining the liberation of the English gentleman
who had fallen into the hands of the Italian brigands ?
Mr. LAYARD said they had information from the gen-
tleman up to the 29th of last month, but he could not give
any further information at that moment.
NORTH AND SOUTH SHIELDS.

Sir M. RIDLEY, in the absence of Earl Percy, asked
the Secretary to the Treasury whether the Treasury
would lay upon the table of the house the correspondence
between the Board of Customs in London and the reports
of the collector of the Tyne relating to the severance of the
ports of North and South Shields.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said there
would be no objection to lay the correspondence on the
table.

RESIGNATION OF THE LORD CHANCELLOR.
Lord PALMERSTON said ho deemed it right to inform
the house that the Lord Chancellor, deferring to the vote
of last night, had deemed it his duty to tender his resigna-
tion of the high office of Lord Chancellor, and he (Lord
Palmerston) had accordingly placed that resigna-
tion in the hands of her Majesty. He also felt
it his duty to inform honourable members that in the
early part of the year the Lord Chancellor, stung by the
attacks that had been made upon him from various quar-
ters, had pressed upon him to accept his resignation, but
he (Lord Palmerston) had declined to accept it, on public
and private grounds ; at the same time he urged upon his
lordship the advisability of remaining at his post, because
his retiring from office at that time would have implied that
he submitted to the charges that had been made against
him. He felt sure that some of those charges would form
the ground of Parliamentary inquiry, and knowing the
motives of the noble and learned lord to be perfectly pure
and incorrupt, he had advised him to retain his office until
the result of such an inquiry became known. The noble
and learned lord, in order to complete the necessary for-
malities of the prorogation, would hold the Great Seal until
Friday morning, and later in the day he would resign his
office.
RAILWAY TRAVELLING.
Sir L. PALK called the attention of the President of the
Board of Trade to the verdict of the jury at the inquest
on the bodies of Thomas Sweter, Geore Kent, and
William Anderton ; and moved for papers relating thereto.
The hon. bart. said the proceedings to which he referred
showed most unmistakably the necessity of energetic
steps being taken by the Board of Trade to compel
railway companies to effect some arrangement by which
communication between the passengers and guard could be
effected. The late accidents had shown the signals at
present in use were not the best that could be devised,
and therefore he hoped the right hon. gentleman who
presided at the Board of Trade would bring his
