that the Bill might be referred back to the Committee.
Lord STANLEY made no objection to the Bill being

coreangly.
LEEDS AND DERBY RAILWAY.
Sir J. BECKETT said he was about to move that the
Leeds and Derby Railway Bill should be referred to a
Committee, but be feared the recommendation of the Select
Committee would prevent him at present doing so.
The SPEAKER asked if upon the line there was any
competition ?
Sir JOHN BECKETT said there was not.
The SPEAKER said he thought the recommendation
of the Committee only referred le cases where there was
competition between parties on tbe same lines. Perhaps
some member of the Committee would be able to inform
the House what was their feeling on the subject.
Lord STANLEY said, as far as he could collect, the re-
commeantion of the Committee included such cases only
as there were conflicting interests.
Sir JOHN BECKETT said, under these circum-
stances, he would move that the Bill be referred to the
Yorkshire list.—Agreed to. •

Mr. WALLACE presented a petition from Greenock,

petition was signed by the Chief Magistrate, and by the late
Chief Magistrate, as well as the respectable inhabitants of
the borough, with the exception of those not peculiarly
given to Toryism. The Hon. Member also presented a
petition from the Chamber of Commerce of Greenock,
against the Dublin Steam-packet Bill.
CARLOW ELECTION.

Mr. WALLACE again rose, and said that he had now
a petition to present of a peculiar nature, from the inha-
bitants of the county of Carlow, which went to rebut the
statement made by the Hon. and Gallant Member the
other evening, with reference to proceedings consequent
upon the late Carlow election. He thought, however, that,
as he had been unable to meet with the lion. and Gallant
Gentleman, and as he did not then see him in his place, he
should be acting more consonant with the feelings and prac-
tice of that House if he merely moved that the petition
now lie on the table, and would give notice that on a future
day he should move that it be printed.
'Colonel PERCEVAL said that it would not be fair to
present it without due notice.—(Hear.)
Mr. WALLACE gave notice for to-morrow accordingly.

tions (Ireland) Bill, that the Committee be empowered to
make provision for the abolition of such corporations, and
for such an arrazement as may be necessary, on their aboli-
tion, for securing the impartial administration of justice,
and the peace and good government of cities and towns in
Ireland. _ .

Mr. B. HOY gave notice of a motion for Friday next,
that the present mode of taking divisions of the House in
tmo lobbies be discontinued.—( Hear, hear.)
Mr. HE A.THCOTE presented a petition from the Agri-
cultural Association of Boston, in Lincolnshire, complain-
ing of agricultural distress.
LIGHTHOUSES.

Mr. P. THOMSON wished to ask the Hon. Member
for Middlesex whether he was willing to abandon his Bill
for the regulation of lighthouses, as it was the intention of
the Government to bring in a measure which should em-
brace all its objects ? If the Hon. Member did not, he
(Mr. Thomson),could never advise his Majesty's Govern-
ment to consent to its second reading.
Mr. HUME, as he could not help himself, should ac-
cede to the suggestion of the Right Hon. Gentleman. At
the same time, he would say that the subject was one which
required immediate attention. More than 100,0001. had
been already exacted from the shipping of the country, and
paid over to the Woods and Forests, every penny of which
was illegal.
Mr. ELPHINSTONE postponed the second read-
ing of the Registration of Electors Bill for a fortnight,
as the Government had a similar measure before the House.
