FRANKFORT.

The adjourned debate on the election of his
Majesty the King of Prussia to the Imperial Crown
of Germany was resumed in the sitting of the
rankfort Parliament of the 19th inst. The discus-
sion WAS on this occasion opened by M. Wydenbrugk,
who said the speaker before him (M. Vogt) had
proposed to appoint a dictator, and to make war
with Austria. M. Wydenbrugk showed the evident
folly of such a step, and concluded by saying " the
house of Hohenzollern will be but the representative
of that majesty to which he will bend—of the ma-
jesty of the nqtion." M. Raveaux warned the House
againt Prussia, and protested he should vote against
M. Welker's motion.

M. Schulz (from Darmstadt) then rose to move an
amendment, which was received with loud and general
laughter. M. Schulz's amendment proposed to elect
the King of Prussia with the condition that that
monarch should immediately declare war against
Russia.
Messrs. Waitz and Mohl made lengthened speeches
against the motion before the House. M. Eisen-
mann, too, made a long and rather confused speech on
the relations of Prussia to Germany, and of Germany
to Austria, and after M. Ahrens had spoken against
the motion, and M. Bauer (a Bavarian) for it, the
debate was adjourned to Tuesday, the 20th init.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
ROYAL COMMISSION.
Their Lordships assembled at Four o'clock.
The Royal Assent was given this day by Commission
to the Overseers in Towns and Boroughs Bill. The
Royal Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, the
B,larquis of Clanricarde, and Lord Campbell.
Their Lordships then adjourned during pleasure.
Their Lordships resumed at Five o'clock.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the
Society for the Protection of Trade praying for an ex-
tension of the County Courts.
The Duke of RICHMOND presented several petitions
complaining of agricultural distress, and praying for re-
lief from local taxation.
The Earl of ERNE presented a petition from some
unions in the county of Donegal against the rate in aid.
The Earl of MALMESBURY presented a petition
against the Petty Sessions B;11, and gave notice of an
amendment which he intended to move in the preamble
of the Bill to-morrow.
The Earl of WICKLOW presented several petitions
against the rata in aid.
OUT-DOOR PAUPERS BILL.
Their Lordships then went into Committee on this
Bill.

The Duke of RICHMOND thought that houses in
which paupers were farmed should be placed under the
regulation of the Poor-law Commissioners in the same
manner as union houses, and he should propose a clause
to the Effect; but he objected to the practice of farming
out paupers, and would wish to see it abolished.
The Earl of CARLISLE thought it would be difficult
to -abolish the system, and while it existed, certainly it
ought to be under stringent regulations.
Lora BEAUMONT considered this Bill would do
away with the whole of the evils of the system of farm-
ing paupers•.
The clause proposed by the Duke of RICHMOND
was negatived without a division, and the Bill passed
through C ,minittee.
NORTH WALES RAILWAY.
On the motion of Lord MONI'EAGLE, the order for
the attendance of Mr. W. Chadwick and Mr. J. Marriner
was discharged, and they were ordered to attend this
day week.
