lIVIPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS—THIS EVENING.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at
be usual hour.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales was in the
-louse during the early part of the evening.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The Rosendale Union Gas Bill was read a third time and
passed.
BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY (IRELAND)
ACT AMENDMENT BILL.
Earl ST. GERMANS, iu moving that this bill should
be referred to a select committee, said that it had been drawn
up by the Crown officers of Ireland, had received the sanc-
tion of the Lord Chancellor, and had passed the other
house. The object of the bill was to assimilate the law in
regard to railway and other companies with that of Eng-
land, and the greatest anxiety was felt in Ireland for the
passing of the measure.
The Marquis of CLANRICAR DE having adverted to the
defective state of the law in Ireland in regard to railway
companies, said that the bill was not to be rejected merely
because it had a retrospective operation, because that would
refer to different acts of legislation by which different acts
of indemnity had been passed. The Tact was that this
bill proposed to relieve shareholders from liabilities
which they had never intended to incur. An error
of a very serious character had occurred in their previous
legislation in regard to this matter in Ireland, and that
error they were bound to rectify.
Lord DONOUGHMORE objected to ex parte de facto
legislation, but had no objection to a measure assimilating
the law between England and Ireland, provided the rights
of existing creditors of railways were respected.
The bill was then referred to a select committee.
BRITISH KAFFRARIA BILL.
This bill went through committee.
ELECTION PETITION ACTS AMENDMENT BILL.
This bill aslo went through committee.
THE CASE OF MARY RYAN.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH called the attention of
the house to the papers presented in the case of Mary
Ryan. The noble lord said that this was a case which
required the fullest inquiry. A young woman was
brought to the pier of Dover in a straight waistcoat,
and she was ultimately placed in a lunatic asylum on the
continent. He contended that the capture and confinement
of the young person was most unjustifiable, for it appeared
that she had been taken away on the authorfty of a Roman
Catholic clergyman, who designated himself the Vicar-
general, and two nuns, and placed in confinement, where
she was unable to communicate with any person who was
in a position to assist her or obtain her release. Such an
act was entirely at variance with English law and should
not be tolerated, at least without a stringent inquiry. He
referred to the letters by the Protestant Alliance on this
subject, and read copious extracts from those documents.
He strongly condemned the conduct of the Government in
not publishing these letters.
1 LEFT SPEAKING. I

HOUSE OF COMMONS—Mrs EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock
PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The following bill was road a third time :—Chichester
and Midhurst Railway.
The following bills were read a second time :—Utiliza-
tion of Sewage and Land Reclamation (Ireland).
LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE, AND GREAT
EASTERN JUNCTION RAILWAY BILL.
On the motien for the second reading of this bill,
Lord GALWEY moved the rejection of the bill, because
it had been but very slightly altered in order to suit the
legislation of last session. The alterations in the bill had
been made to suit the convenience of certain landowners,
and he was sure if those alterations were considered by a
committee they would most inevitably lead to the rejection
of the bill. He did not take up the position he then occu-
pied on behalf of the landowners concerned, but he would
say at once that he did it on the part of the
Great Northern Railway. He thought that after
two companies had had a fair stand up fight, which had
caused the expenditure of a great deal of money, it was
unfair and unjust to allow the company that had been
defeated to again apply to Parliament to sanction that
which was almost identically the same scheme which was
rejected in 1864.
Mr. CHEETHAM supported the bill, and said it was not
at all similar to the bill brought forward last session. If the
measure was sanctioned by the Legislature it would prove
of immense advantage in cheapening the charge for the
conveyance of coal, and this crcumstance alone ought to
be sufficient to secure the passing of the bill. All that the
promoters of this bill desired was that their case should be
heard. He appealed to the house not to allow the bill to
be defeated by a side wind.
Mr. MITFORD said he had gone through all the plans
in the Private Bill-office, and he felt bound to say that the
bill was practically the same as was before them last year
under the title of the Great Eastern and Northern Junc-
tion Railway Bill.
Mr. CHILDERS said the people of Yorkshire had peti-
tioned in favour of this bill, and he did think that, as they
only asked that the convenience offered by the projected
railway might be fairly considered, it would be unfair to re-
ject such a reasonable demand.
Mr. EGERTON opposed the bill. There were three rail-
way systems at present in existence, which he thought was
quite sufficient to meet the requirements of Lancashire
and Yorkshire.
Mr. BRIGHT thought the house was asked to reject the
bill on very insufficient grounds. (Hear, hear.) It was said
the bill was before Parliament last session, but was that
any reason for its rejection this year. He felt it was too bud
at this time of day to stand up for protection to the
Great Northern Railway, because if that system had been
adopted years ago we should have had but very few long
Iv it to
lines of railway. If the present bill was agbereediltwoaiy.t would
e
occupy five years in the construction ofitl b
receiveho p d the
th aht o
considerationusot" d enrautitaello.
Mr. B. STANHOPE opposed the bill,
.becituse he consi-
wouldnottowbi rejectc
which
theit
wash l
consi-
dered the gradients were exceedingly objectionable. The
bill would interfere with the navigation of the river Trent,
and would entirely destroy a great extent of private pro-
perty, and on those grounds he hoped it would be rejected.
Mr. AYRTON should support the second reading of the
bill, especially as it was said the making of the railway
would tend to cheapen the cost of coal in the metropolis,
Mr. M. GIBSON said of course the matter of the inter-
ference with the navigation of the Trent would be care-
fully considered and reported on, and the committee would
be made acquainted with the result of the inquiry. Under
all the circumstances of the case, he should give his vote
in favour of the second reading of the bill.
Mr. J. R. ORMSBY-GORE should vote for the rejection
of the bill.

Lord BURY, as a resident in the Eastern Counties,
should support the second reading of the bill, because it
s
would tend to cheapen the supply of coal.
Col. JARVIS thought the details- of this bill ought to be
considered in committee, and not discussed in that house,
and although there were so many gentlemen present he did
not believe there were eight or nine amongst them that
really understood what they were talking about.
(Laughter.)
The house then divided, when there appeared—
For the second reading l2l

Majority —4l
The bill was consequently lost.
SOUTH AMERICAN BEEF.
Mr. J. E'WART asked whether any order had been
issued for the indiscriminate seizure of South American beef
when exposed for sale to the public either in London or
Liverpool?
Sir G. GREY said no order had been issued, or seizure
made of the description alluded to by the hon. member.
He saw by the public newspapers that an application had
been made to the Lord Mayor by the sanitary inspectors
to condemn a quantity of certain meat, not because it was
jerked beef, but because it was unfit for human food. He
believed that certain country magistrates had recommended
the trial of jerked beef as an article of food in prisons.
THE POOR LAW COMMISSION.
Mr. O'REILLY asked whether it was the intention of
the Goverment to fulfil the promise understood to be made
by Mr. Secretary Cardwell in 1860, that au Irishman and
a Roman Catholic should be appointed to the first vacancy
amongst the Irish Poor-law Commissioners.
Sir R. PEEL said he was sorry he could not give the
hon. gentleman any positive information on the subject.
CAPTAIN COLE'S CUPOLA.

Mr. DAMER asked the Secretary to the Admiralty if
Captain Cole's cupola had been tested by firing at it with
any heavier guns than those used in the experiments,
namely, 40-pounder Armstrong, on board the Trusty ; and
if no; whether it was the intention of the Admiralty to
make any further experiment before proceeding with the
further construction of vessels on the same system ?
Lord C. PAGET said no experiments had been made on
the cupola with steel 3001 b. shots. Some experiments had
been made with 100 and 68-pounder Armstrong guns, and
the result had been that the cupola had been indented, but

- -
the working of it had not been injured. At present it was

The Marquis of HARTINGTON said a deputation had
been to the War-office on the subject, but no communica-
tion had been addressed to such officers, as it was not at
clear that such orders could be issued with advantage.
WRECK ABSTRACTS.
In reply to Mr. BENTICK,
Mr. MILNER GIBSON said he would endeavour, if
possible, to obtain some reliable information on the sub-
ject, and if he succeeded he would give the hon. gentleman
the information he required.
POLICE STATIONS.
Mr. ADDERLEY moved an address for copy of corres-
pondence between Sir Richard Mayne, Chief Commissioner
of Police, and the magistrates of tße petty sessonal divi-
sion of Barnet, on the subject of objections made by himito
allowing police stations to be used for the whipping of
juvenile offenders under the Act 10 and 11 Vie. c. 82.
The return was ordered.
THE NAWAB OF THE CARNATIC.
Mr. FOSTER said it had come to his knowledge as
chairman of the committee on public petitions, that certain
fictitious names had been affixed to petitions on the subject
which amounted to a breach of the privileges of Parlia-
ment. The subject was under the consideration of the
committee, and the matter would be reported to the houSe
on Thursday next.
Sir FITZROY KELLY then moved for the appointment
of a select committee to inquire into the claim of his High-
ness Prince Azeem Jah to the title and dignity of Nawab of
the Carnatic; and the claims of his Highness under a treaty
entered into in 1801 between the Honourable East India
Company
and his Highness Prince Azeem ul Dowlah.
