_ _

Sir C. STYLE presented several petitions against the
Medical Charities Bill.

SCOTS CHURCH.
Mr. M. PHILIPS presented a petition from Manchester
against further endowment to the Church of Scotland.
Mr. HUME presented a petition from an individual in
Birmingham, complaining of the heavy amour.t of indirect
taxation upon the neemaites of life.

Lord Po WERSCOURT presented a petition from Bath,
against any further grant of public money towards the main-
tenance of the Roman Catholic College of Maynooth.
Mr. BAINES gave notice that he should on Wednesday
next move for certain returns regarding the importation of
indoes.

_
CONTROVERTED ELECTIONS.
Lord MAHON said, that in conscqwmce of the Con-
troverted Elections Bill having been withdrawn by his
Bight Honourable Friend the Member for Taniwoith, he
should withdraw till the next session the notice he had given
of a oration, that election petitions be tried by a tribunal inde-
pendent of the House of Commons.

- Mr. II AR VE Y gave notice that he should on Tuesday next
move for a return of the amount of cash standing in the
name of the Accountant-General in the Court of Chancery.
He also begged to move that certain Charity returns, ordered
by the House some time ago, be made forthwith.
The dropped Orders were then proceeded with.
After a few remarks on a point of form from Lord STAN-
LE Y,

The SPEAKER said he thought the House ought to con-
sider whether some steps ought not to be taken to prevent the
re-committal of Bills pro forma, after they had once been
under the consideration of the Committee, and with respect to
which the Committee had come to a decision.
Sir G. CLERK said that the Bill had been several times
brought on and committed pro forma, and it ought to
have been brought on in the first instance in such a
state that it could pass through the House. If the
practice of allowing imperfect Bills to go through formal
Committees were done away %a ith, all Bills would be made as
perfect as they could be on their first introduction.
On the Order of the Day for the Imprisonment for Debt
Bill bring road, (to be postponed till Friday),
Mr. HAWES expreisod a wish that the Government would
name a day for this important measure coming on, when
it could be publicly discussed.—( Hear; hear.)
After a slight conversation, the Bill was fixed for the day
above named.

Mr. HUME suggested that as motion-days were generally
got rid of, every day should be devoted to orders.—( Hear.)
Mr. L ABO UCHE RE said the Government were not in-
disposed to take any course to facilitate the progress of pub-
lic b isine s, as had been proved by the proposal of the Noble
Lord (J. Russell) for morning sittiugs on Tuesdays and Fri_
days.

HIGHWAY RATES BILL.
On the OrJcr of the Day being moved that the House re-
solve itself into Committee on this Bill,

Mr. PARROT requested his Honourable Friend (Mr.
Shaw Lefevie) to withdraw the Highway Rates Bill,
and to bring in in the next Session of Parliament a more com-
prehensive Bill. If his Hon. Friend would not do that he
should move that the Bill be committed that day three months.
Mr. MACKINNON seconded the motion.

Mr. S. LE FE VRE said his Hon. Friend who had recom-
mended the introduction of a comprehensive measure, would
remember that the measure introduced by the Under
Secretary of State in the session before the last
was of such a nature, and be (Mr. S. Lefevre) was
certain that any other measure of that character would
meet with precisely the same fate. He could not consent
to abandon this Bill, because, if he d:d so, be was convinced
that not cnly would many of the roads be indictable, but the
p rishes through which they passed, would be indicted.
The House then went into Committee, Mr. Aglionby in
the Chair.
Clauses A and B were agreed to.
Mr. HA L FORD had a proviso to propose by which no
higher toll than at present should be imposed upon any
cart or other vehicle not travelling, at a greater speed
than four miles within the hour. He particularly wanted
to protect the interest of a. class .of men not • Much
a",ove pauperism, viz., the small village carriers in the
neighbourhood of market towns. They were now charged
t :11 on going and returning, and the rise in the toll would be
a very sera U 3 inconvenience. •
Sir C. B [MIZELL briefly spoke against the amendment.
An HoN. MEMBER on the Opposition side of the House
thought the case of the small country carriers worthy of con-
,ideratien.

After a few words from Mr. licdgcs. Mr. Shaw Lerecre,
Sir C. Burrell, Mr. Bennett, Lard Hoick, Mr. Milford,
Mr. Gentlimn, Mr. Gt imsditch, Mr. Darby, Mr. Sanford,
and several other Mc ln')ers,
The clause was agreed to without a division.
