GLASS DUTIES BILL.

On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the E XC E-
QUER, this Bill was reported to the House, with an under-
standing that some point suggested by Mr. Hawkes, but
which, owing to the confusion in the House, it was impossible
to hear, should be considered in the third reading.
The International Copyright Bill was reported.
The Mails on Railways Bill was, on the suggestion of Mr.
IlAwEs and Lord SANDON, postponed for the present.
The Party Procession (Ireland) Bill went through Com-
mittee, and was reported ; and the report was ordered to be
received to- morrow (this day).
The Vacations Sittings Bill was read a third and passed.
The Juvenile Offenders Bill was:also read a third time, and
passed.
Mr. JERVIS here entered the house, and complained
that the Vacations Sittings Bill had been a short time before
read a third time, contrary to an arrangement which had been
entered into when it was last before the House.—( Hear.) He
had come down to the House that night for the express pur-
pose of opposing the Bill, and of reading to Hon. Members
the evidence which had been formerly given by Lord Den-
man himself against the principle involved in it. He only
made these observations in justification of himself and other
members of the profession to which he belonged. At the
same time he could not help remarking that the blame ap-
peared to attach to the Noble Lord ( Russell) and not to the
Attorney-General, for he had understood that it was the Noble
Lord, and not that Right Hon. Gentleman, who had moved
the third reading of the Bill.—( Cheers.)
Lord JOHN RUSSELL had made the motion of which
the Hon. and Learned Member complained owing to a commu-
nication which had been made to him by Lord Denman, who
bad ii,formed him that the business of the Courts, which was
greatly in arrear, would be very considerably forwarded by the
passing of this Bill.—(Hear.) In addition to this the Attor-

ncy-General had himself requested him to move the further
progress of the Bill.—( Hear. )
Mr. JERVIS said that the Attorney-General had only five
minutes since told him that he had had nothing to do with what
he (Mr. Jervis) complained of.—( Laughter.)
Mr. CRESWELL regretted, in common with the Hon.
and Learned Gentleman and several other Members of that
Hou;e of the same profession, that this Biil had been passed
so hastily.—(Cheers.) The Attorney-General knew very
well that this Bill was to have been opposed, and these who
had now passed it in so hasty a manner must take upon them-
selves the responsibility of the measur,l.—( Hear.)
Lord J. RUSSELL here observed that it was the commit-
tal of the Bill, and not the third reading, which the Attorney-
General had requested him to move.—( Hear, hear.)
Mr. JERVIS was proceeding to give notice of a motion
for the repeal of the Bill, when be was interrupted by
The SPEAKER, who informed the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman that it was too late to do so in the present Session.
The conversation here ended.

The Prisoners' Bill passed through a Committee.
The Local Commissioners Relief Bill awl the Pilotage Bill
were postponed to future days, and the China Courts Bill till
tomorrow (this day).
The Committee of the Sugar Duties Bill was postponed till
Monday next.
The County Courts Bill was postponed to that day three
months, namely, got rid of for the present Session.
HACKNEY CARRIAGES (METROPOLIS) BILL.
Sir MATTHEW WOOD moved that the Report of this
Bill be brought up, and expressed a hope that the House
would consent to the motion, as he would pledge himself to
attend to any amendments Honourable Members might have
to suggest on the third reading of the Bill. The Bill was
one of great importance to the Metropolis, and was much
called for by its inhabitants.—( Hear.)
Mr. lIAWES hoped the Noble Lord (Russell) would ex-
press some definite opinion upon the measure before it was
allowed to proceed through another stage.
The House then divided, when the numbers were—
For receiving the Report 56
Against it
Majority

-41

The Report was then received.
After some conversation, in which Sir G. CLERK, Mr.
STANLEY, and other Honourable Members took part, about
the delay which was given to the public business by ad-
journing at an early hour of the evening, or not mskiug a
House when there remained so many measures of impor-
tance to be disposed of, the House, on the motion of Mr.
Brotherton, adjourned at a Quarter to Ten o'Clock till to-
morrow, (this day.)
