IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
The LORD CHANCR.LLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at
half-past four o'clock. •
Mr. Campbell, from the East India House, presented papers
relative to compensation to the reduced servants of the Com-
pany.

AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL presented a petition from the
Shropshire Agricultural Association, praying for inquiry into
the distress of the wi°riculturists.
SUGAR DUTIES.
Earl FITZ WILLIAM presented a petition from Cal-
cutta, praying for the assimilation of the duties on sugar.
POOR LAWS.
Lord DACRE presented a petition from Royston praying
for an extension of the time, from 10 to 20 years' for the pay-
ment of the money advanced for the building of Poor-houses
under the New Poor Law Bill. He hoped, in the course of
the present Session, that some amendment would be made in
the original Bill.
Lord RODEN gave notice that on Friday next he should
present a petition from the clergy of the arch-diocese of Tuam.
Lord DENMAN presented a petition from Annan, pray-
ing for compensation to Mr. Buckingham.
The House then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 10 minutes before 4 o'clock,
at which time there were upwards of 300 Members in their
places. In consequence of the adjourned debate on the O'Con-
nel petition coming on to-night, the Strangers' Gallery was
opened at 2 o'clock, and was almost instantly filled. Many
hundreds destined for the same place arrived afterwards, and
were much disappointed at not gainis;g admittance.
Mr. O'Connell came down to the Housc about half-past 4.
The passages leading to the gallery and lobbies of the House
were then crowded to excess. On Mr. O'Connell aacending
the staircase leading to the passage within the House, the as-
sembled crowd teok off their hats, upon which some one near
him raised a hiss; this was answered by a loud anal general
cheer from the great body of respectable persons in the lobby
as he passed.
Mr. Alderman THOMPSON brought up the report of
the CoMmittee on the Wearmouth Dock Bill.
RAILWAYS.
Sir EAR DLEY WILMOT brought in several Bills for
making branch railways between Birmingham and London.
Mr. P. STEWART presented a petition for leave to
bring in a Bill to form a railway from the eastern end of Lou-.
don to Blackwell. In presenting the petition the Hon. Mem-
ber submitted whether it would not be expedient for the
House to come to a resolution, that the Committee Lists of the
different Committees on Railway Bills should not be at liberty
to form themselves into sections in different parts of the coun-
try, but should have only one Chairman in a certain place.
Mr. HUME doubted whether the proposition of the Hon.
Member would be attended with any good effect, but he
thought whatever course the House intended to adopt, should
be perfectly understood.
Sir S. WHALLEY thought the proposition would be
attended with great inconvenience.
Mr. F. YOUNG thought the present suggestion clearly it_
Instrated the necessity of adopting some precii:e course when that
subject was last before it. The House was piaced in the si-
tuation of having recommendations for three separate Bills, all
having the same object, but it was obvious that it would be
ruinous to each to carry them all into execution. There
should be some tribunal to take into consideration the relative
as well as the general merits of each plan. The present pe-
tition, however, afforded a practical illustration of the correct-
ness of the recommendation of the Hon. Member for South-
wark the ether night.
The SPEAKER said he could do no otherwise than follow
the usual course.—( Hear, bear.) That was—to refer the pe-
tition to the Committee proposed by the Hon. Member who
presented it. If any alteration was to be made, it rested with
the iionse, and with the House alone, to take that step—he
had no aothority of himself to do so.
Mr. WIL.K S thought it desirable tbat some new tribunal
should be appototed to consider the eligibility of the various
plans, and that there should be r ..-,lommendation in favour of
any measure before it wa3 rmz ... second time. This would be
a great saving of time and of expense. On the present occa-
sion, however, they could only refer the petition iu the ordinary
manner.
Mr. PEA SE thought that the subdi.-ision of the list was
the great point to guard against. If the Hot:_se expressed an
opinion that the Committee ought not to be subdi.:;ded, every
end would be obtained. It was impossible that there
could
he two or three conflicting rail roads at the same time withoti:
their comparative merits coming before the Committee.
Mr. P. M. STEW ART would give notice that to-morrow
lie would bring in a measure to alter the present practice.
Mr. WILES suggested to the Hon. Member to give no-
tice of his motion so that it might appear in the votes.
Mr. P. M. STEWART would attend to the suggestion of
the Hon. Gentleman, and give notice for Monday next.
