IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

DRUMMOND'S (DUKE DE MELFORT'S)
RESTITUTION BILL.

The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second read-
ing of this bill, the object of which, he explained, was to
reverse the attainder passed against the Earls of Perth,
for their share in the rebellions of 1715 and 1745. The
earldom was originally created by James 1., and was
settled on heirs male, and was at present vested in the re-
presentatives of the Dukes of Melfort, who were descend-
ants from a branch of the Drummond family which had
settled in France.

Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Brougham, and Lord Camp-
bell expressed their approval of the bill.

The Earl of ABERDEEN stated that the present
claimant had served her Majesty in the army for many
years, and had therefore given proof of his personal
oyalty.
___ _

The bill was then read a third time.
PAYMENT OF WAGES IN SCOTLAND,

Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from certain
manufacturers in Glasgow on the subject of the laws of
arrestment of wages for debt in Scotland.
. _ _ _ _

After a few words from Lord CAMPBELL and the LORD
CHANCELLOR,
The petition was ordered to lie on the table.
The Earl of HARROWBY presented petitions from
various Chambers of Commerce, praying, for the assimi-
lation of the mercantile law throughout the United
Kingdom.

Lord CAMPBELL said that no doubt the courts both
of law and equity were capable of improvement, but he
deplored the absurdity brought forward by chambers of
commerce in regard to the establishment of local tribu-
nals for the adjudication of mercantile questions and
disputes.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said that local tribunals
of commerce were entirely out of the question.
The house then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY. )
There being only a few members present, the SPEAKER
declared the house adjourned till to-morrow.

SMILES.-Oh ! what a sight there is in that word—
smile—for it changes colour like a cameleon. There's a
vacant smile, a cold smile, a satiric smile, a smile of hate,
an affected smile, a smile of approbation, a friendly
smile, but, above all, a smile of love. A woman has two
smiles that an angel might envy, the smile that accepts
the lover afore words are uttered, and the smile that
lights on the first-born baby, and assures him of a mo-
ther's love.—Sant Slick's Wise Saws.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills,
excellent Remedies for the Cure of Bronchitis and Ulce-
rated Sore Throats.--Extract of a letter from Mr.
James Downing, of Paris-street, Exeter, dated March
30, 1853.—" To Professor Holloway.—Sir, Your oint-
ment and pills have effected upon me a perfect cure of a
dreadfully diseat:ed throat, arising from cold, which ul-
timately terminated in bronchitis. The medical aid I
received was unable to combat with the disease, and I
was rapidly sinking under its influence. At this stage
I had recourse to your medicines, which in a few hours
relieved me, and I am happy to inform you, that in less
than a fortnight I was entirely cured by them."-- Sold
