PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

was In the COMMONS' a great many petitions relating
In the Loans', last night, nothing of importance was done,-
Bills were presented. On a division, the London and Gravesend Rail-
way Bill was lost. (The Herald sagaciously says, it. • to Pallroad
proposed the

of the Exchequer an.nonneea, the intention. of Government to make
a more equitable ailpstrnent of the immense revenues of the See
of Durham,. and to separate therefroth tl.e civil duties : a Bill
founded on the Report of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners would
be brought in. After some other business of lesser importance,
the seomid reading of the Irish Municipal Reform Bill having been
Visored by the Attorney-General for Ireland, in an address charac-
terized by a high degree of power ;an:, clearness, a discussion of
an important description ensued on this great, interesting, and
beneficial measure. We have not room here to notice the debate
in other than than the most cursory manner, but beg to refer to our
Parliamentary report, where will be found unfolded such a mass of
municipal corruption as was perhaps scarcely ever before witnessed in
the world. It will be seen that the Tories—Peel, Stanley, Sibthorp,
Connolly, and other " friends of the people,"—now advocated the
destruction of all existing chartered rights, and a wholesale transfer
of the entire Corporations to the Crown. The second reading was
agreed to without a division. Sir Robert Peel gave no-
tice that on Monday, on the Order of the Day for go-
ing into Committee on the Bill, he would move an instruc-
tion to the Committee to adopt his plait l—thigh may fairly and
briefly be described to consist in a reckless and revolutionary de-
struction of alllthe existing Corporations in Ireland, the powers
and functions of which arc to be laid at the feet of the Crown, and
of any Conservative Minister who may work his way to office.
