ACCOMMODATION FOR STRANGERS.

Mr. WALL ACE mentioned, that owing to the new chandeliers, the
strangers could not see the Speaker, nor anybody in the body of the
House.

The SPEAKER said a few words, which were inaudible in the gallery.
Mr. IVALLACE said, a few inches lowering the chains to which the
chandeliers were suspended, would remedy the evil.
Mr. ER LE presented a petition in favour of Fourdrinicr's patent.
PILOTAGE BILL.
Sir J. GRAHAM asked if the Gave: nment meant to carry forward
this Bill during the present session ? •
Mr. P. THOMSON old not think he could get the Bill through
this and the'other House during the present session. It was his inten-
tion, lowever, early in the next Session to introduce it again, and he
should then press it forward to the utmost of his power.

HARTLEPOOL DOCK AND RAILWAY.
Lord DUNGANNON moved the third reading of the Hartlepool
Dock and Railway Bill.
Mr. HUIIE understood the House had met fur the purpose of pro-
e. eding with the public business. Besides there was an opposition to
this Bill.

Lord DUNGANNON enquired if the Iron. 'Member really meant
to say that ?

Mr. HUME asked if the Noble Lord thought he (Mr. Hume) would
stand tip in his place and say so, if that was not the case ?—(Hear.)
Lord DUNGANNON put it to the Hon. Member for the North
Riding of Yorkshire (Mr. Cayley) yesterday, whether there would be a
division on this Bill, and was unable to obtain a final answer. On this
ground he thought he was right in asking the question without feeling
that he was offering any insult to the Hon. Member.
The SPEAKER said, in•seply to the question of the Hon. Member
for Kilkenny, it might be convenient to know what would be done on
Tuesdays and Thursdays. The usual practice hail been to take first the
private business and then petitions. Undoubtedly it was desirable that
on these days Hon. Members should not bring on anything likely to
create a discussion before the public business.

Lnrd DUNGANNON said, if there was to he any opposition to this
Bill he would fix it fcr to-tr:orrow.

After some desultory conversation between Ds. Nicnots and Lord J.
RUSSELL, it was fixed that the Vestries Bill be brought on first in the
ram ning sitting on Thursday week.

EUPHRATES EXpEDITION.

In answer to a question from Sir R. PEEL,
Sir J. /I OB HOUSE said he bad na hesitation in saying, that he had
recommended in the most strenuous way the promotion of every officer
concerned in the Euphrates expedition, and he had great satisfaction in
stating that, with one exception, he had been successful. The exception
was that of a gallant and most meritorious officer (Major Estcott), and he
would take that opportunity of stating, that he •had within the last
three weeks brought the name of that most distinguished officer
betbre the Commander-in-Chief, but that, ()Wing to circumstances which
he did not think he was at liberty to state, he had not been successful
in procuring for that officer the promotion to which he was well en-
titled.—(Hear, hear.) Major Estcott had actually obtained his ma.
jority by purchase, and he (Sir John Hobhouse) had not the least
doubt that the notice taken by the Right Hon. Baronet, with the
sanction of the House—(Cheers)—was very likely to aid him in ob-
taining fur that distinguished officer a promotion which was well
merited.

Sir R. PEEL said the answer of the lion. Gentleman was most
satisfactory.

ATTORNEYS' AND SOLICITORS' BILL (IRELAND).
Mr. Sergeant JACKSON inquired whether it was the intention of
the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin to press the Attorneys' and
Solicitors' Bill for Ireland through the House this Session ?
Mr. O'CONNELL said that the solicitors who had entrusted him
with the Bill had come to an arrangement with the Society of Queen's
Inn, the consequence of which was that they did not wish to press
the Bill.
