PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

In the LORDS' discussion there was not anything which
calls for particular notice, if we except the intimation of the
Marquis of Londonderry, of his desire to limit the reduction
of the revenues of the See of Durham, contemplated by the
Government. In suggesting the propriety of securing ample
funds to the Bishop in order to preserve his dignity, the Noble
Marquis argued thus :—" If," said he, " the recommendation
of the commissioners should be adopted, and the See, from ono
of the richest be reduced to one of the poorest, the expendi-
ture of course would cease, and it would be beyond the means
of any succeeding bishop to keep up the two noble mansions,
the Castle, and Bishop's Hall, where all preceding bishops
had maintained large establi;nments, to the great advantage
of a wide surrounding neighbourhood. Hitherto it had been
the practice for t'ae Bishop to entertain the judges when they
came on the circuit; but if the income of the SQC were re-
duced, this ancient hospitality must cease."
In the COMNIONS' Mr. Wallace presented three petitions
from freeholders of Carlow, complaining of the conduct
adopted towards them by their landlords, Colonel Bruen and
Mr. Alexander, in consequence of the votes they had given at
elections. Colonel Bruen denied the justice of the accusation
contained in the petitions, and made a very long speech in his
defence. Mr. Roebuck complained of being called " a per-
verse, wrong-hearted, if not a bribed Radical," informing the
House that he had employed his attorney to demand an apology
or retractation from the Editor of the Sheffirld Iris, the paper
which, in advocating Mr. Buckingham's claims to compensa-
tion, had used the words which formed the subject of the Hon.
Liberal and Learned Member's complaint. It will be seen
that Mr. C. Wood, in a Committee of Supply, moved an in-
crease of the Navy to the extent of 5,000 men. The measure
was favourably received by the House. The fact of Lord
Auckland having stipulated for a retiring pension of 2,000/. a
year, as a condition of his consenting to become Lord of the
Admiralty, and resigning an office and a pension (both for
life) amounting to 1,600/., occasioned some conflicting remarks.

STOCK Exc U A NG E.-This day (Friday) was the day
fixed for the election of 18 members of the comm'ttee of the
Stock Exchange, in the room of those who resigned last week, in
consequence of the 41.ivision on the question arising out of
Lakeman's frauds, and the circumstance has produced an ex-
traordinary degree of excitement throughout the whole body.
The scene which presented itself was altogether new and sin-
gular; printed papers and lists of candidates were banded
about in all directions, the members collecting in groups to
discuss the relative, merits of each, and even the mania for
railway speculations was calmness compared with that which
was evinced by the members on this subject. It bad been de-
termined from the first, it seems, to make the election turn on
the merits of the question which led to the late resignations,
and printed lists were•formed, of 18 members each, one con-
taining in black letters the names of the 18 members who had
resigned; the other, in red letters, the name of the 18 new
candidates, and the votes were given as for one person, no se-
lection being made from each list, as is common on other
occasions. The result was, that the 18 new candidates were
elected by a majority of 90 votes. The opinion of the members
is, therefore, decidedly against the resolution proposed at the
last meeting of the committee, by which all those who were to
be publicly declared as defaulters who refused to refund the
amount of the checks cleared on the day of Lakeman's flight.
This is the more clear, as great exertions were made by the
old members of the committee and their friends to secure a re-
election, and they even went the length, in their circular
letters, of describing any other course than that of' their re-
election as an act " suicidal" on the part of the whole body ;
besides which argument, whatever force it might possess. many
of them were highly esteemed among the members, and com-
manded votes on account of their general talent for business.
All considerations yielded, however, to the wish of the members
to leave no doubt of their sentiments on this einestion. The
