CHURCH OF SCOTLAND COURTS BILL.

This bill was read a second time.
EDUCATION OF PAUPER CHILDREN BILL.
The report of amendments to this bill was brought up
and received.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE directed attention to
the expediency of allowing attorneys and solicitors in Eng-
land and the colonies to practise in the Irish courts, and
the Irish attorneys and solicitors to practise in England
and the colonies. The noble marquis then laid a bill with
this object in view upon the table.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said it might be theoreti-
cally right to make the change proposed by the bill ; but he
believed that no memorial or petition with that object had
come from practitioners on either side of the Channel.
After a few words from Lord CRANWORTH,
The bill was read a first time.
The Queen's Prison Discontinuance Dill was read a
second time.
The Discharged Prisoners Aid Bill passed through com-
mittee.

Lord BERNERS moved the second reading of the Game

Amendment Bill, the object of which is to deal with the
great increase of the crime of homicide by night poachers.
Earl GRANVILLE opposed the bill, on the ground of
the stringent character of its provisions.
The Earl of DERBY remarked that this condemnation
was somewhat premature, inasmuch as the measure would
be subject to amendment and improvement in committee.
As it stood, however, he himself could not assent to some
of its enactments.
Lord LYVEDEN objected to the bill as one that, under
the guise of preventing gangs of men engaging in night
poaching would in fact greatly increase the severity of the
game laws.
Earl GREY thought it was not possible to legislate in
the direction which the bill proposed to go without having
recourse to very arbitrary measures.
The Earl of MALIVIES BURY said he did not regard the
bill in the nature of a revision of the game laws. An im-
mense amount of property was invested in the preservation
of game, and he contended that it was entitled to protection,
and that the bill ought to be proceeded with.
The LORD CHANCELLOR recommended the with-
drawal of the bill and the substitution of another which did
not contaia clauses that might be misinterpreted and lead
to obloquy.
In reply to the Earl of DERBY,
Earl GRANVILLE said he would not undertake, on the
part of the Government, to assist in passing a modified bill,
but he would not object to its second reading, and promised
to consider it on its merits.
The bill was then withdrawn.
The Red Sea and India Telegraph Company Bill was
read a third time and passed.
The Bleaching and Dyeing Works Act Amendment Bill,
and the Unlawful Oaths (Ireland) Act Continuance Bill,
were respectively passed through committee.
Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS-YESTERDAY.
The SPEAXIEx took the chair a few minutes before four

Government would be most happy to take any steps in their
power to mitigate tho distress in the manufacturing dis-
tricts, and to effect an amicable arrangement between the
contending States in America, but he believed that any
such interference in the present state of feeling be-
tween the belligerent States would be productive
of evil instead of benefit. (Hear, hear.) I may
state that if the opportunity should arise for the interven-
tion of the good offices of this country and the French Go-
vernment towards effecting an arrangement between the
contending States in America, such offices might be relied
on as regarded both Governments. (Hear.)
