ing, against church rates.
- The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from

commodated with seats before the Throne.
There was a very numerous attendance of peers.
The Duke of RICHMOND gave notice that to-
morrow he would ask whether it was the intention of
the Government to give any mark of approbation to
Lon-cornmi9sioned officers and private soldiers who had
served in the Kaffir war.

• The LORD CHANCELLOR, in answer to the Earl
of DONOUGHMORE, who complained of some informality
in the recent election of an Irish representative peer,
explained the law on the subject, and said the Lord
chancellor had no jurisdiction to issue a fresh writ.
In reply to. Lord LYNDHURST,
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that, in the course
of next week, he intended to move that the nine bills
which related to the amendment of the criminal law be
referred to a select committee.
- A short discussion arose on this subject ; but in con-
sequence of the noise which prevailed in the house, it
was impossible to catch its purport.
THE SMOKE NUISANCE.

• Lord REDESDALE asked the Prime Minister when
the Secretary of State for the Home Department pro-
..

posed to issue orders and directions t; the commis-

'sinners of police for the metropolitan district
and the city of London, in accordance with the
-provisions of an act passed last session to abate
the nuisance arising from the smoke of furnaces in the
.matropolis, and from steam-vessels above London Bridge,
.in order that information might be laid against all per-
sons who should not from and after the Ist day of
August next comply with the requirements of the said
_ant.

The Earl of ABERDEEN said the Secretary of
_State had instructed the Commissioners of Metropolitan
,f Police to issue notices to the owners and occupiers of all
:furnaces, to which the act was applicable, of the tune
.when the act would come into operation (the Ist August),
and whether steps would be taken to compel its obser-
vance. The number of furnaces returned to the Com-
Juissioriers, which would come within the provisions of
.the Act, was 8,800.
Lord LANSDOWNE expressed a hope that the act
.would be beneficial in its operation.
After a few words from the Earl of SHArTESBURT and
Lord REDESDALE, the subject dropped.
THE GERMAN POWERS.

Lord LYNDHURST then called the attention of the
house and the Government to the memorandum relative
to the Eastern question transmitted by the Courts of
Vienna and Berlin to their envoys at the Germanic
Diet.
