PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

In the LORDS' nothing. was said or done which requires par,
ticular notice.

In the COMMONS' the adjourned debate on the Irish Munici-
pal Reform Bill occupied the House until four o'clock this
morning. The numbers for Lord F. Egerton's amendment
were 243, against it 307—thus making A MAJORITY OF 64 in
favour of the second reading of the ministerial measure. For
the details of this decisive victory of the Reformers over the
enemy (whose loss was even far greater on this than on the
former division which took place on the Address), we refer to
our Parliamentary Report. In another place, also, will be
found some remarks on the glorious triumph achieved this
morning. The " Conservative" confederacy, we apprehend,
will soon undergo a process of annihilation similar to that
which they devised against the Municipal Institutions of Ireland.

COURT OF ALDERMEN.-=Yesterday the Lord
Mayor nominated the preachers of the Spital Sermons at
.Easter. His Lordship presented petitions from a relative of
the late Alderman Turner, praying for relief, on the ground
of her ancestor's services.—Referred to the Police Committee.
On the motion of Alderman Wilson, returns of the amount of
relief to persons confined in the City prisons were ordered.
A conversation took place on the subject of Charges to the
Poor at the City Hospital.
The late high tides have done serious injury to many
of the islands under cultivation on the Essex shore of the river.
New England Island, one of the most fertile of those isolated
farms, has been considerably encroached on by the sea ; and it
is singular that land impregnated with salt water loses its fer•
tility for at least forty years after being thus overflown. Forty-
seven years ago the same island was rendered sterile by a simi-
lar inroad, from which it bad only recovered within the last
half-dozen years.— Greenwich Gazette.
