.)servvce of the Lord's Day. We are quite as anxious
s the Iworthy Baronet that that day should be se*
Tart for :he purposes which it was intended to pro-
note, and that nothing should interrupt its just ob-
iervance, but, in the language of the Church to which
ie belongs, ,4 works of necessity and mercy ;" but, at
he same time, we are too well aware of the nature and
lisposition of the human mind to dreanf fur a moment
.hat its propensities can be changed by an Act of
Parliam?nt. Were his Bill to pass to-morrow, the
.world would not be a whit tors religious. We ques-
ion greatly, indeed, whether the evils complained of
would not be augmented.—Morning Advertiser.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF. COMMONS, MAY 18.
Ihe SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour.
PERLETHORPE CH APELRY.
Mr. E. DENNISON brought up the Report of the
Committee on the ahove Bill.
CARLISLE DOCKS BILL.
Tnis Bill was reed a third tim?, on the motion of Mr.
HOWARD.
Lord COLE brought up the Report of the Committee
on the Ulster Canal Bill.
On the motion of Mr. LOWTHER, the York and
North Midland Railway Bill was read a third time and
passed.
Mr: TOWNLEY moved the third reading of the Over
Inclosure Bill.
Dr. BOWKING felt bound to oppose the passing of
this Bill. There was scarcely five acres of waste land in
the whole parish, which could,be ollittle-int:irtance to the
five great proprieters who were the promoters of the Bill ;
though, to the poor, it was of incalculable advantage, and,
if taken away, many of them would be obliged to go to the
workhouse. He hoped the poor would find defenders in
that House—they could not do so, so easily a.; the rich
could employ counsel—therefore he hoped the Bill would

not pass.
The matter here suddenly dropped. Whether the Bi
was readvor not it was impossible to say.
SOUTH DURHAM RAILWAY.-

Mr. BOWES moved that the South Durham Railway
Committee have time to report up to the 17th June.
Mr. PEASE moved that they might have leave to sit
during the holidays.
Lbrd STANLEY opposed the motion, but was not

heard in the gallery.
Mr. D. W. HARVEY said, that to comply with this
motion would be tantamount to a repeal of part of the re•
gu!ation upon Railways.—( Hear.) The motion was, that
the South Durham Committee have an extension of time
to make their report. It appeared to him that no audible
reason had been given—(A laugh)—the conversation that
was carried on across the table respecting the motion, was
wholly inaudible. There bad been a good deal of compa-
ratively silent conversation, but if there were any grounds
for the motion it was desirable that the House should hear
them. Unless the motion was a matter of course, the

House ought to hear the facts and the reasons assigned for
the motion. There was a recognised regulation of the House,
that no report should be received upon a Railroad Com-
mittee after the 6th June, and this motion being to extend

the period to the 17th, some reason should be given for it.
The motion with which they had complied in the Brighton case
was not an analogous case to the present, inasmuch as in
the Brighton Committee there were two conflicting lines,
and two contemplated lines, referred to them. There were
four lines to be adjudicated upon, and consequently they con-
sumed more of time then came within the latitude prescribed,
and therefore that case justified the deviation from a whole-
some rule. Unless they were prepared to abrogate alto-
gether the regulations to which they had come, unless good
reasons were stated, they could not comply with this motion.
The SPEAKER said that this had been the second
application since the resolution of the House, and he (lid
not know that it was correct ; but he would suggest that,
as there was a similar application to be made, unless the
House would proceed to say that these resolutions were
altogether useless, he would suggest to the House, whe-
ther, in point of fact, there would not be some convenience
in this mode of proceeding, viz.—when a Committee was
desirous of making an application of this nature, they should
present a special report, stating the grounds of the applica-
tion, the number of days they had sat, of the witnesses exa-
mined, and whether the report had been agreed to by the
whole of the Committee, or if not, by what proportion of it ;
and on that Report being printed with the votes, the
House would be able to come to a fair and reasonable de-
cision.—( Hear, hear.)
Sir M. W. RIDLEY concurred in all that had fallen
from the Speaker, but trusted that under the very pecu-
liar circumstances in which the Committee were placed, the
House would grant them a further extension of time.
After a few observations from Lord STANLEY and Sir
J. GRAHAM,
Mr. BOWES gave notice that he should renew his ap-
plication on Tuesday week.
DUNDEE AND NEWTYLE RAILWAY.

On the motion of Mr. CHALMERS, the Dundee and
Ncwtyle Railway Bill was read a third time and passed.

GLASGOW AND FORFAR RAILWAY.

Mr. HOPE JOHNSTON brought up the Report o
the Committee on the Glasgow and Forfar Railway Bill.
MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAILWAY.

On the motion of Lord STANLEY, the Manchester
anti Leeds Railway Bill was read a third time, and passed,

NE-WRY NAVIGATION.

On the motion of Mr. BRADY, the Newry Navigation
Bill was read a third time and passed.
Mr. PENDARVES brought up. the Report on the
Panett Navigation.
Sir G. CLERK presented a petition from the Trustee
to the Earl of Strathmore, against the Tees Water Works
Bill.

NORTH OF ENGLAND RAILWAY.
The third reading of the North of England Railway B

having been moved,-
Mr. HUTT felt that his duty compelled him to move
that the Bill be read a third time that day six months.
This was stated to belt part of a great railway to connect
the two capitals of Great Britain ; but it went only 30
miles, leaving 100 milei undone on the one side, and 200
on the other.

Mr. T. ATT WOOD seconded the motion.
Mr. PEASE said that of all the speeches he had ever
heard since he come into the House, the one he had just
heard astonished him the most. He would only ask the
Hon. Member whether he had ever heard or read the evi-
dence that had been given before the Committee ?
Mr. HUTT could assure his Hon. Friend that he was
not in the habit of stating what was incorrect. He had
been several times in the Committee-room, and had heard
quite sufficient from the evidence of several persons there
sufficiently to verify the fact he had related.
Mr. PE ASE did not recollect seeinc, the Hon. Member
more than three or four times in the Committee-room, and
that only for ten minutes together. There had been several
engineers examined, and they had all united that it was
one of the best lines that could have been suggested.
The design and estimates were approved of. There had
been no division in the Committee on the subject ; and
now, when everything had been approved of by the Com-
nnttee, a new lino was suggested.
Mr. A. TREVOR had never in his life heard of any

measure, the necessity and olosious justice of which was
more clearly proved. Ile could not believe that there
would be any serious opposition to a measure which was so
loudly called for by the county of Durham.
Mr. H. HUGHES protested against the measure, and
would most cordially unite in opposing it.
Mr. BOWES would merely state, that it was his inten-
tion to vote for the third reading, but he did so entirely in
deference to the opinions of his constituents.
After a few words from Messrs. Hume, H. Hughes,
Potter, and another Hon. Member, whose name we could
not learn, the House divided, when there appeared—
For the original motion 6l
Against it
Majority
On our return to the galllery we found Mr. Goulburn
addressing the House, and moving an• amendment, as we
understood, on the amendment already before the House,
that the Bill be read a third time the first day after the
holidays.
Mr. 11. Huones and Mr. lit str protested against the
unusual and unprecedented course pursued by the Right
Hon. Gentleman, and charge him with endeavouring to
wrest the rights of the poor from them after their possession
had been affirmed by the votes of the Huse.
Mr. MILES and an Hon. Member (Mr. Bonham, as
we understood) supported the amendment of the R;ght Hon.
Gentleman.
After a few words from Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Warburton.
and Mr. Pryme, the House divided, when there appeared-
For the original motion B3

ENGLISH TITHE BILL

-4

Lord J. RUSSELL hoped that, as it was most impor-
tant to bring on the English Tithe Bill so. as to have the
additional clauses and amendments made in the measure
considered (luring the recess, Hon. Members who had the
charge of Orders of the Day would give way, so as to suf-
fer it to go into Committee.
Sir A. AGNEW had an Order ou the paper, the 2nd
reading of the Sabbath Bill, which it was imperative on
him to bring on.
Lord J. RUSSELL said that the Hon. Baronet would
have an opportunity of bringing it on after the Tithe Bill
should have been disposed of.
Sir A. AGNEW was not at liberty to give way.
Lord J. RUSSELL consented to let the Order take
precedence.
Mr. WALTER gave notice of clauses to be moved by
him on the Tithes Bill, empowering the Commissioners to
raise the stipend of clergymen in parishes where it was in-
sufficient, but not to exceed 3001. a year.
Mr. MACLEAN wished to know if the Government
had received any account of the late action in which the
Pluenir and the Salamander were engaged with the forces
of Don Carlos on the north coast of Spain ; whether there
had been any loss of men, killed or wounded ; and whether,
if such were the case, the Government meant to publish a
list of them ?—(The Hon. Member was imperfectly heard
in the gallery.)
Mr CHARLES WOOD was understood to say that
no intelligence of any men on board these ships being
