IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

HOUSE OF LORDS-(THIS EVENING.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
shortly after five o'clock.
Several petitions were presented by noble lords against
the Maynooth grant.

MAYNOOTH GRANT.

The Earl of WINCHESTER rose, in pursuance of
notice, to move for a committee to inquire into the sys-
tem of education pursued at the College of Maynooth.
The establishment by a Papal bull of ecclesiastical titles
in this country was only a new instance of the grasping
disposition of the Church of Rome, and it behoved the
people and Government of this country to be on the
alert that no harm should accrue to our religious
institutions. The canon law was opposed to the civil
law of nearly every country, and that was the law which
the Church of Rome was endeavouring to introduce
into this country. To permit the introduction of such
a law would be a virtual surrender of the government
of this country into the hands of the Pope, and the Go-
vernment would fail in their duty to the people and the so-
vereign of this realm by countenancing such a proceeding.
It was the imperative duty of the Government to ascer-
tain that the system of education pursued in a college
supported at the public expense should not be opposed
to our Protestant institutions.
[LEFT SPEAKING.]

EASTERN UNION RAILWAY.
On the motion that this bill be read a second time,
Lord A. PAGET moved that it be, read a second time
that day six months, on the ground that the bill involved
an arrangement in regard to running powers which would
endanger the safety of the public.
Mr. ADAIR thought that the bill should be sent to a
select committee.

Mr. CAYLEY supported the bill, and complained of the
arbitrary conduct of the Eastern Counties Company to-
wards this railway. _

Mr. CARDWE'LL said it was the ordinary practice of
the house, when there was a difference of opinion upon a
private bill of this kind, to send it to a committee, in
order that the fullest inquiry should take place.
Mr. WADDINGTON defended the conduct of the
Eastern Counties Company.
After a few observations from Mr. COBBOLD and Mr. G.
BALL,

The amendment was withdrawn, and the bill was read
a second time.

TAUNTON ELECTION.

Sir G. GREY reported that this committee had deter-
mined that Mr. Arthur Mills was not duly elected for
Taunton ; also that bribery prevailed at the last election,
but it was not proved with the knowledge or consent of
Mr. Mills.
