IMPERIAL PARLIAM ENT.

ROUSE OF LORDS.—(THIS EVENING.)
The house met at five o'clock.
BRIBERY BILL.
The Dnke of NEWCASTLE rose to move that the
suspension of the writs for five boroughs, by order of the
House of Commons, until new legislative precautions
shall have been taken to prevent the recurrence
of the system of bribery, which was proved by Royal
Commissioners to have prevailed in those boroughs, is
(within tit,: meaning of the resolution of this house of
the 24 of May last), a circumstance of such urgency, as
to render necessary the immediate consideration of a
bill, brought from the House of Commons on the 31st
July, intituled, "An act to consolidate and amend
the laws relating to bribery, treating, and undue influ-
ence at elections of members of Parliament ;" and that
accordingly it is reasonable that the said bill be allowed

to be read-a
second time this day, if the house shall iiinlc
• fit so to order. The noble duke urged that as the house
went into committee on the Oxford University
Bill the very day after it had been read
a second time, in order to suit the convenience of the
noble earl opposite (the Earl of Derby), no opposition
ought now to be made to the consideration of the read-
ing of this bill, which, in order to meet the re-conside-
- ration of the measure, he should only ask to be con-
tinued for two years. (Hear.) He believed the committee
on this bill would not have the slightest chance of last-
ing more than one night. He therefore trusted the
house would not refuse to grant the second reading of
this bill. The noble duke having explained the provisions
of the bill, concluded by putting his motion in the terms
already stated.

Lora REDESDALE opposed the motion, not in re-
ference to the merits of the bill, but as regarded the re-
solution adopted by their lordships on the 2d of May ;
and he believed it was now generally admitted, both in
the house and out of it, that their lordships should sup-
port their own resolution. (Hear.)
[LEFT SPEAKING.]

, HOUSE OF CONLIVIONS--(THIS DAY).
The SPBAKEB took the chair at 12 o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The Lords' amendments to the following bills were
considered and agreed to :—Great Western, Shrewsbury,
and Birmingham, and Shrewsbury and Chester Railway
Companies Amalgamation ; Pais!ey Waterworks (No.
2) ; Salisbury and Yeovil Railway ; British Guarantee
Association (No. 2).
The following estate bills were read a third time and
passed :—Hornyold's Estate; Park's Estate ; Peel's
Estate ; Staveley's Estate.

EPISCOPAL AND CA PITULAR ESTATES BILL.
The committee on thim bill was resumed.
Mr. CAYLEY ma, - d the insertion of the following
clause :—Provided always, that in computing the due
regard to be paid to the just and reasonable claims of
the present holders of lands under lease or otherwise,
arising from the long-continued practice of renewal, the
basis of compensation shall be that laid down by the
Episcopal and Capitular Revenues Commissioners in their
report of 1850 ; and, where that may not be applicable,
to the recommendations laid down in the Lords' re-
port on the same subject in 1851. Provided always that
in all computations in any way dependent on the dura-
tion of lives, the expectation of life shall be calculated
at the rate of 31. 6s. Bd. per centum ; and, so far as such
rate can be applied, according to the data on which the
life tables are founded which were published in the
twelfth annual report of the Registrar-General of Births,
Deaths, and Marriages in England. Provided always,
that-until such sales, purchases, or exchanges shall be
effected, nothing herein contained shall be construed as
intending to interfere with the renewal of the leases of
such lands on the accustomed terms. •
Mr. LASLETT opposed the clause, which would be
an unjust interference with the property of the Church.
In Worcestershire, the value of the property belonging
to the Church was 2,000,000/. ; but, if this clause
passed, it would be reduced by at least half a million.
He, for one, could not assent to such a monstrous act of
injustice.
_ .

'After some discussion the first and second proviso
of the clause were agreed to with one or two verbal amend-
ments suggested by Lord J. RUSSELL, with the view of
rendering it less compul,ory, the bill being purely of a
permissive nature.
The third proviso was withdrawn.

The bill then finally paused through committee.
The house resumed, and the report was ordered to be
considered to-day.

CHICORY.

On the order of the day for going into committee of
aupoly.
Sir J.. Y. SHELLEY asked the Secretary to the
Treasury to state the course Government intended to
take with regard- to the sale of coffee mixed with chicory.: Mr.'WILSON said a deputation of the trade
had re
presented that the existing law worked most oppres-
sively; and the Treasury were now considering what
clia"gsueould iie.made to remove the evils complained of.
Mr. HUME said this was only another instance of
the impolicy of interfering with trade.
Six J. V. SHELLEY. hoped, the prosecutions which
had been commenced for the violation of the law would
be suspended until, the Treasury had come to some *deci-
sion in the nriatter. •
Mr. WlLStill-satd- the only anxiety of the Govern-
ment was to prevent fraud.
Mr. A. PE'LLATT said the law was absurd as it
stood, because though parties could legally sell chicory,
provided they announced the fact, they were liable to be
fined for having it on their premises.
