HO USE OF COMMONS--(THIS DAY.)
The SPEAKER took the chair a few minutes after t ivelve
o'clock.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The Lords' amendments to the Swansea Harbour Bill
were considered and agreed to.
The Border Counties Railway Bill was read a third
time and passed.
The Leeds Northern Railway Bill and the Tees Con-
servancy Bill were considered, and ordered to be read a
third time.

PETITIONS.
Petitions were presented by Mr. PARKER from the
Corporation of Chesterfield, against the Police Bill-;
Mr. WYsE, from Stoke-upon-Trent, against the intro-
duction of any part of the Health of Towns Act to that
district.

MERCHANT SHIPPING BILL.
The house then went into committee on this bill.
Clauses from 1 to 290 inclusive were agreed to, with
some verbal amendments.
On clause 291, •
Mr. J. O'CONNELL moved the following addition to
the clause :--Every passenger steamer carrying deck
passengers, shall have accommodation in deck-cabins or
deck-houses, for women and children coming under
that denomination, and, as far as possible, fur
male deck passengers ; and when the numbers to
be carried, or other circumstances, prevent the whole
number of deck passengers from being thus accom-
modated, every such steamer shall have, in the judg-
ment of the surveyors of the Board of Trade, an adequate
supply of tarpaulins in good and- serviceable condition,
to protect the said male deck passengers during cold or
bad weather of any kind, and at night.
Mr. LIDDELL thought the clause was a proper one,
hut he did not think it should be inserted in the bill.
This measure was a consolidation of the law relating to
merchant, shipping, and the proposed clause would more
properly find a place in the Passenger Act.
Mr. CARDWELL quite agreed with the 'hon. mem-
ber for Liverpool. Tile object of the proposed clause
was a proper one, and he would see if it could not be
engrafted on the Passenger Act.
After some further conversation, the amendment was
'with-11-awn, and the clause was agreed to.
The realm iing clauses, which, together with those
already passed, nninbered 463, were then agreed to.
The schedules wers also agreed to.
Admiral WALCOTT said that Mr. Cardwell deserved
the thanks of the country for the time and pains he had
devoted to this measure, which would prove of great
value to the mercantile marine. He regretted, however.
that no clause had been introduced into this bill with
regard to apprentices in the merchant service.
Captain SCOBELL joined with the honourable and
gallant admiral in the expression of that regret.
The house resumed, and the bill was ordered to be
reported on Thursday.
The other 12 o'clock orders were then disposed of,
and the sittings were suspended i.t 4 o'clock.
The house resumed at 6 o'clock, and was
