LONDON GAZETTE, FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 1854.
By a clerical error, the Advertisement in the above
Gazette of the bankruptcy of William Holmes Postans,
of Enfield, Middlesex, trading in copartnership with
Charles Smith, at the same place, as wine merchants,
dealers, and chapmen, was erroneously stated in The Sun
of last Friday as an advertisement of the, bankruptcy of
William Holmes Postans and Charles Smith, instead of
William llolmes Postans alone. We much regret the
error, and offer our apology for it, and we insert this
correction immediately that our attention has been called
to the error, and regret that we were not aware of it
sooner.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(THIS EVENING.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

The Norfolk .Railway Bill, the Mallow and Fermoy
Railway Bill, the York, Newcastle and Berwick (Con-
struction of Docks, etc.) Bill, the Bradford, Wakefield,
and Leeds Railway Bill, the Leeds, Bradford, and Hali-
fax Junction Railway Bill, and the Oxford, Worcester,
and Wolverhampton (Chipping Norton Branch) Bill, were
read a third time and passed.
SALARIES OF JUDICIAL FUNCTIONARIES.

Lord CAMPBELL enquired whether it was true, as he
was informed, that it was in the contemplation of the Go-
vernment to place the successors of the present Masters of
the Courts of Common Law, who were appointed under
act of Parliament, under which they received their salaries
during good behaviour, upon the vote of the House of
CoMmons ? lie could hardly suppose anything more atro-
cious than making such high judicial functionaries depen-
dent upon an annual vote, instead of being secured in their
salary for their life-time.
Lord ST. LEONARDS put a similar question with re-
gard to the Masters in Chancery in Ireland.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, said the Consolidated
Fund Bill to which the noble and learned lord referred
made an exception in favour of the present masters in
chancery, and also in favour of all who performed judicial
functions. It would be a question whether the masters in
chancery came under the designation of judicial func-
tionaries.

Lord MONTEAGLE condemned the practice of making
the salaries of persons performing the duties of a judge
dependant on the annual, estimates.
Lord BROUGHAM considered that all persons perform-
ing judicial functions should be independent of the Crown,
on the one hand, and the Commons and the people, on the
other.

The Earl of MALMESBURY gave notice that on Mon-
day he would ask what the intentions of the Government
were with respect to the new department of war, and cer-
tain other public offices.
Lord BERNERS presented a petition from the rate-
payers of 74 metropolitan parishes, praying that the laws
of settlement and poor removals might be abolished,' the
poor entitled to receive relief in the place of their residence,
irrespective of any question of settlement, and that all
valuable property might be made to bear its fair share of
the expense incurred by the relief and maintenance of the
poor. -
