PARLIAMENTARY PAPER.
SYSTEM OF INGROSSING BILLS.—The clerk-assistant
of the House of Lords has made the following report to
their Lordships of the result of his communication with
the authorities of the House of Commons on this sub-
ject, in obedience to their Lordships' resolution of 4th
Svtember

In obedience to the resolution of the House of Lords
passed on the 4th September last, I placed myself in
communication with the Speaker of the House of Com-
mons, in reference to the proposition of dispensing with
the present system of ingrossing Bills; and I have the
honour to report that, with re gard to public general Bills
there appears to be nothing to prevent the carrying
that proposition into effect. It is conceived-1. That in
lieu of being ingrossed every Bill should be
printed fair immediately after it shall have been
passed in the House in which it originated,
and that such fair printed Bill should be sent to the
other House as the Bill so passed. 2. That on its return
to the House in which it originated, without amend
ments) or, if amended, after the amendments shall have
been settled and agreed to), it shall be fair printed by
the Queen's printer, who should furnish a print thereof
on specially manufactured paper, to the House of Lords,
before the royal assent, and also a duplicate of such fair
print. 3. That one of such fair prints of each Bill
should be duly authenticated by the proper officers of
each House as the Bill to which both Houses have
agreed. 4. That the royal assent should be indorsed on
such fair print so authenticated, which should be depo-
sited in the Record Tower, in lieu of the present ingross-
ment. 5. That the copies promulgated in the first in-
stance by the Queen's printer should be impressions from
the same type as the deposited copy. 6. It is suggested
that for the present year this arrangement should not
apply to private Bills, including in that term local and
personal Bills, which are not in fact printed at
present by the Houses of Parliament, but only by the pro-
moters, and which have for the present year, been for
the most part already printed in pursuance of the stand-
ing orders of the House of Commons. 7. That the
Queen's printer should print the public general Bills for
both Houses, an arrangement productive of economy,
convenience, and dispatch, and tending to lessen the
chance of errors, and which (it has already been ascer-
tained) can be carried into effect with the acquiescence
of the present printers for each house. 8. That for
facilitating the entering of amendments on Bills made in
the House in which such Bills originate, there shall be
laid on the table of the House, when the Bill is first
printed, a copy, printed on large paper, and only on one
side of each sheet, which shall be the House copy, and
on which all amendments shall be entered, as far as may
be possible. 9. That the Master of the Rolls should,
upon being duly authorised in that behalf; receive, in
lieu of the copies of public general Acts as now enrolled,
the hereirementioned duplicate fair print of each public
Bill, to be held for the same purposes, and subject to
the same conditions for and upoi which the enrolled Acts
are now held and received by him.

JENNY LIND AT .MANCIIESTER.—Nothing could
be more complete than the success of this lady on Tues-
day evening at Manchester. The spacious Free-Trade
Ball was crowded in every corner, upwards of 3,000
persons having been present. Mdlle. Lind sang the
music allotted to the " widow," one of the smallest parts
in the oratorio of Elijah. In the choruses, the Lancashire
chorus-singers even exceeded themselves; and the Misses
Williams, Mr.Lockey, and Mr. Machin, received and de-
served much approbation. Several encores were de-
manded and granted; and at the conclusion, " God
Save the Queen" was sung by the principals, Jenny
Lind taking the lead. The piece is reproduced to-night
at Birmingham, and on Tuesday next at Huddersfield.
GUN COTTON AND TooTu-AcuE.—Among the
many curious and interesting applications of science
which constantly greet us, the application of the destruc-
tive gun-cotton to the alleviation of suffering humanity
is not the least interesting. Gun-cotton dissolved in
ether has for some time been very successfuly employed
as an application to incised wounds. When washed over
the surface, the ether, rapidly evaporating, leaves be-
hind a film, which is impervious to air; and thus the
wound, protected from atmospheric influences, heals by
the first intention. But now we find this curious com-
pound employed successfully in the cure of the tooth-
ache. The cavity of the tooth being cleaned out, a little
asbestes, saturated with collodion, as it is called, to which
a little morphia is added, is placed in it. All soon be-
come solid, and thus an excellent stopping and a power-
ful anodyne are applied at the same time.
GOVERNORS OF COLONIES. From a Parlia-
mentary return it appears that there are 45 Governors,
Lieutenant-Governors, &c., in the colonies, of which
number ten are in the receipt of naval or military pay
beyond their salaries. Three governors receive 7,0001.
a year each, the highest amount paid ; and two, 5001.,
the lowest sum paid. Two are paid 6,0001. each ; five,
5,0001.; two, 4,0001.; four, 3,0001.; and the other smaller
sums. Sir W. M. Gomm, the Governor and Commander-
in-Chief of Port Louis, has a salary of 7,0001., and
1,122/. 18s. 11d. as a colonel in the army.
We understand :that the deputation yesterday
to the Board of Control on the question of Indian rail-
ways met with a favourable reception, and that the im-
pression conveyed to the parties of whom it was com-
posed was, that the feeling of the Government is in favour
of such amount of guarantee being afforded as shall be
sufficient to induce the public to subscribe the required
capital. It was also fully admitted that the subject is
one of such paramount importance as no longer to admit
of delay.
