PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

In the LORDS' last night, after a discussion which we have
noticed elsewhere, the Irish Municipal Corporations Bill was
read a second time. _ _

In the COMMONS', Mr. Clay's motion relative to the Great
Northern Railway Bill was discussed and ultimately withdrawn.
Lord J. Russell stated, in answer to a question put by Mr. P.
Scrope, that it is not the intention of Government to bring
forward, during the present session, any Bill to provide for the
Irish poor. " The infinite consequences," said the Noble
Lord, " which must flow from any legislative measure on this
subject, makes me cautious how I pledge myself, or the Go-
vernment, to the adoption of any immediate measures in re-
gard to it." The remainder of the evening was occupied with
the discussion, in Committee, of the Registration of Voters'
Bill.

Lord John Russell gave a dinner party on Satur•
day, in Wilton-crescent.

Mr. Egerton gave a large dinner party on Saturday
in St. James's-square.

occurrence is to furnish occupation for the gentlemen of the

It is said that one of the oldest subscription houses

ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE.--A new operetta, under
the title of Captain is not a Tliss, was produced at this theatre
yesterday evening. The incidents of the piece are as follow :
Emily, Mrs. Nisbett, to escape from the solicitations of an
unwelcome suitor, who is favoured by her guardian, General
Stromwell (Mr. Bennett), elopes from his house in the dis-
guise of an officer, and accompanied by her maid, disguised as
a valet. She assumes the name of Captain Daring, and re-
tires to an inn at some distance from her guardian's house.
While she is there the real Captain Daring and his servant
arrive at the same inn. The guardian in the mean time re-
ceives information of his maid's plan, and follows her, and
makes the landlord cognizant of it. The real Captain Daring
is in consequence suspected to be the young lady in disguise,
and this leads to some amusing incidents. Of course, at length
the whole matter is explained, and Captain Daring receives
the hand of Emily. The piece was received favourably.
The fine of 2001. to the King, adjudged to be paid
by Salmon, the " Hvgeist," for administering unlawfully Mo-
rison's pills to the deceased Captain M'Kenzie, will be given
up by the Lords of the Treasury to the unhappy and destitute
widow and children.

Is THERE EVER A TORY AMONG YOU ?—No
man who heard this question put by Mr. O'Connell, in Not-
tingham market-place, on 111onday
.week, will ever forget it.
The scene altogether was exhilarating, and the attitude and
voice of the speaker were calculated to make an abiding im-
pression on the memory.
