IMPERIAL PARLIAMIENT•

HOUSE OF LORDS.—{THIS EVENING.)
Their lordships assembled this evening at five o'clock,
for the first time after the Easter recess.

In reply to Lord CAMPSELL,
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he believed the
Government would, before the end of the session, intro-
duce a bill enabling cases in which prisoners pleaded
guilty to charges of petty larceny to be dispoeed of at
Quarter Sessions.
Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from the Glas-
gow Chamber of Commerce, for the introduction of the
English bankruptcy law into Scotland.
The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a petition
from Brentford, in favour ?f the admission of Dissenters
into the English Universities.
Lord ST. LEONARDS presented a petition from
Sunderland, praying for some provision for the wives
and children of soldiers now on service in the East.
THE BRITISH TROOPS AT GALLIPOLI.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH called attention to
the absence of any preparations for the English troops
on their arrival at Gallipoli, and to the great inconve-
niences which they were compelled to submit to. It
appeared, he said, from a communication in the news-
papers, that the vessel, the Golden Fleece, arrived at
that place on Thursday, but in consequence of
previous instructions having been received by ourCon-
sula at the Dardanelles, they could not be landed until
the following Saturday, and then they found that no
proper accommodation was provided for theta. He
wished to know who was responsible for what had oc-
curred.

The Duke of NEWCASTLE said the Government
was answerable for any neglect in supplying the wants
of the troop; but having read the article to which
the noble lord referred, he could state from his
own knowledge, that a vast proportion of its con-
tents were entirely incorrect. Of course, he could
not state, without making some inquiry, whether all the
statements were untrue, but ample preparations had been
made by Government in regard to the medical and com-
missariat departments of the expeditionary army, and
so far from our consuls not having received instructions
for the troops, he had himself received a report from Mr.
Calvert, one of our consuls, four weeks ago, as to the
capability of Gallipoli to afford the necessary accommo-
dation. He believed that the preparations made for our
troops would bear comparison with those of the French
Government, and he thought it was extremely unfair
for a gentleman to write home such unfair accounts.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said he was ex-
tremely glad to' find that the asserttons made in the
communication in question were untrue.
[LEFT SITTING.]

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS EVENING.)
The house re-assembled this evening after the Easter
recess, and the SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
NEW MEMBER.
Sir A. COCKBURN took the oaths and his seat on
his re-election for Southampton.
NEW WRIT.
On the motion of Mr. HAYTER, a new writ was
ordered for the county of Flint, in the room of the Hon.
Edwd. Mostyn, called to the upper house, as Baron
Mostyn.

University from the Chur, th of England. He was there-
fore most anxious to hav, a the bill referred to a select
committee that should be competent to deal fairly with
the subject, and who shot Lid feel disposed to approach
the question with a very ( lifferent feeling to that which
necessarily must animat a a committee of the whole
house.
Mr. EWART cordiall3 r supported many of the enact-
ments contained in this bill, which, to his view, did
not go far enough. l le rejoiced to find that it
proposed to abolish th a privileges of the univer-
sity ; there was alwa) rs something very suspicious
in an institution that enjoyed what were called
privileges, and in his °ph aion the University would de-
rive great benefit rather t han suffer from the abolition of
the existing system. It • was with regret, however, that
he saw no provision mad( :in this bill for the admission
of dissenters to the unive. rsity ; but he hoped, when the
bill was committed, that ( ami.ssion would be supplied.
Mr. HORSMAN tho fzght the Government had
introduced this bill at the right time, and
had framed it in a. right spirit ; and he was
therefore rather surprised that it should have received
so much opposition. At the same time, he did not think
the subject was sufficient ly understood to admit of its
being dealt with ia a comm ittee of the whole house; it could
be much better disposed of in a select committee. It
was not a mere question ; of detail that had to be con-
sidered, but it was th( i whole question of Univer-
sity reform, and he felt ; the subject was not yet
sufficiently ventilated to render it prudent for them to
frame the provisions of th e bill in a committee of the
whole house.
