COUNTY RATES.

Mr. HUME moved for leave to bring in a Bill to au-
thorise the ratepayers in counties to choose representatives
to form a county revenue board for the assessment, levying,
and administration of county rates.
Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET, as he understood
the measure was to be introduced without a discussion
taking place upon its merits, objected to so important an
a principle being allowed to advance even a single stage
sub silentio.

Lord J. RUSSELL fully admitted that the subject was
one deserving a full discussion, but he thought that when a
Bill was introduced and printed, the House had much bet-
ter means of understanding its real merits than they could
otherwise have. The Noble Lord was proceeding to make
some further observations upon the subject, when
An Hon. MEMBER whose name we did not collect,
moved that the House be counted.

This having been done, and it appearing that only thirty-
six members were present, the House adjourned at hall-past

seven.

PARLIAMENTARY PAPER.

ALE-nousc.s. —ln Mr. Hawes's Bill fer 'regulating Ale..
houses, it is the intention of Mr. Warburton to propose that,
" the hours so to be fixed for closing Beer-houses in any town.
ship, parish, or place, containing, by the last Parliamentary
Census, not less than five thousand inhabitants, or which may
have been included by the English Municipal Reform Act
within the Parliamentary boundaries of any borough, shall not
in any case be earlier than eleven of the clock at night ; and
on Saturdays, public holidays, fair and wake-days, not earlier
than twelve o'clock at night ; nor for opening the same later
than five o'clock in the morning except on Sunday, Good
Friday, and Christmas Day, or any day appointed kr a public
fast, or thanksgiving at the parish church of the place or pa-
rish in which such Beer-house is situate, when the same shall
not be opened before one of the clock in the afternoon of such
day ; after which last mentioned hour, every person s.) licensed
as aforesaid, shall be at liberty to keep open his or her ltause
for the remainder of the day, any provision in any Act con-
tained to the contrary notwithstanding."
Clauses will also he proposed to permit the widow or exe-
cutor of a Beer-seller to contiaue to carry on the business
under the same license, so long as it may have to tun. And
also to empower Magistrates to mitigate penalties, any law to
the contrary notwithstanding.

It is a remarkable circumstance that a mare, the
property of a person at Chudleigh, has twice foaled twins in
both instances, however, dead. Such an occurrence sel'inm
happens more than once.
