The Town Council of Glasgow, on Thursday,
unanimously agreed to petition Parliament in favour of the
Ministerial plan of Irish Municipal Reform.
NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—It is at length
officially announced that Mr. Barry's plan for the Houses of
Parliament will be adopted, as the Committees of Lords and
Commons have both unanimously selected his plan. The
expense, 4 is calculated, will not exceed half a million,

any person would point Out a 'better line. It saved six miles
of the distance between Newcastle-upon-Tyne and York ; and
all the engineers who had been consulted upon it had admitted
that a bolder or better line, taking every thing into considera-
tion, could not be devised. In no instance had there been
any hostility on the part of the landlords, for out of 521 land-
holders and occupiers only 12 had offered any objection.
There were no inclined planes, no turns, nor any assistant
engines required, and it would save at least six or seven hours
of the time at present required to make the journey between
London and Edinburgh. He confessed that he was taken by
surprise at the present opposition, for from the unanimity that
prevailed at the county meeting in Durham, he had been almost
satisfied that the present Bill would receive the public support.
Mr. A. THE VOR—Those Him. Members who opposed
the Bill admitted the importance of the line. He thought it
would be extremely unjust to stop the measure in its present
stage, as it was one of very great importance to the county of
Durham. He hoped the Hon. Member for Knaresborough
would not press his amendment to a division, as any objections
to it could be fairly discussed in the Committee.
Mr. HUTT had not intended to say a word on the subject
but for what bad fallen from the Hon. Member for South
Durham (Mr. Pease). He had himself given notice, that
unless the Bill underwent very great alteration he would give
it all the opposition in his power. The Bill met with the
reprobation of the whole county of Durham.
Sir JOHN BECKET could assure. Hon. Members that
he had received no instructions from any part of his consti-
tuents, and therefore he would reserve to himself the power
of considering the details of the Bill in Committee.
Mr. LAMBTON could assure the Hon. Member for Hull
that he had been most grossly misinformed. The county of
Durham generally were most favourable to the railway plan
proposed by the Bill.
Mr. LOWTHER and Mr. ORD supported the second
reading.
The Bill was then read a second time, without further oppo-
sition.

Mr. BOLLING presented petitions against the Grand
Junction Railway Bill; one from Leicester, against the Mid-
land Counties Railway Bill ; and one in favour of the Rail-
way from Manchester to Leeds.
Mr. OSWALD brought up the Reports from the Com-
mittees on the Folcross Gas and Water Bill, and the Aunies-
land Road Bill.
CLYDE NAVIGATION.

The HON. MEMBER then moved the seCend reading of the
Clyde Navigation Bill.
Sir M. S. STE WART would ask the Hon. Gentleman to

postpone his motion, as he meant to ask leave of the House to
revive the Committee on this Bill, and that the petition of
William Dixon, of Govan Colliery, complaining that the
Standing Orders of the House had not been complied with in
this case, might be referred to the Committee. The petitioner
complained that the Standing Orders of the House had been
infringed upon, by his not receiving notice from the proposers
of this Bill.

Dr. BO WRING could not think that the Hon. Member
seriously intended to propose the second reading of this Bill.
He had the honour of seeing the Hon. Member upon the
subject of this Bill when it was first introduced, and that
Hon. Member (Mr. Oswald) had allowed him to state to his
constituents, that the second reading of this Bill would not be
proposed till after Easter, until those interested should have
an opportunity of examining the Bill. They had not been able
to examine this 'Bill, and no opportunity•had been given to
ascertain what were the feelings of that large and numerous
population with respect to this Bill. He could not believe,
after a certain honourable understanding had been en-
tered into, that the second reading of the Bill would
be pressed till after Easter—(Hear)—and until the whole
district should have had an opportunity of stating their feel-
ings upon the subject. He did not believe that the Hon.

Member would force on the second reading so unexpectedly
and so contrary to the general feeling upon the subject; and
he hoped he would be induced to postpone the second reading
till an opportunity should be given to state what was the pre-
vailing opinion of those who were most interested in it.
Mr. OSWALD made some observations ; but from the
exceedingly low tone of voice in which he spoke, though some
Hon. Members called " Speak out," we were unable to catch
a single sentence of what the Hon. Member said.

AGL lONBY would appeal to the Speaker on this
subject. There was so much difficulty with respect to the
Standing Orders, that it was impossible to come to any
conclusion upon this point. It was said that the only
objection made to this Bill Was, that the plans, &c.,
had not been deposited with the Clerk of the Peace of every
county, division, &c. through which the wcrks were intended to
run, and that this was not in compliance with the Standing
Orders. The Standing Orders run thus, " that the map or
plan of such road be deposited at the office of the clerk of the
peace, of every county, riding, division, &c., through which
such road is intended to be carried." Now in this county
there was but one clerk of the peace for the whole county, and
his office was at Glasgow. At this office the plan had been
deposited, but the county was divided into three wards for the
convenience of the rate-payers, and there was in each ward a
deputy clerk appointed by the Clerk of the Peace. The mid-
dle ward was the one through which these works would run, but
no plan had been deposited with the Deputy Clerk of
the Peace, the proposers of the Bill thinking it enough to
deposit the plan with the Clerk of the Peace. There was
another objecticn, viz., that no notice had been given
id some of these parties; but this was an objection he was not
prepared to discuss. On the other, however, be begged to'
have the opiniOn of the Chair. .
The SPEAKER did not see Why the second reading should
be postponed' on the ground of the standing erdcrs. However,
if an understanding' had been come to on the subject, a post-
ponement ought to be allowed.
Dr. BO WRING was sure it was not thC wish of the House
that the-petitioners for this Bill should steal a march on them.

He had written to some of pis constituents, and from two of
the boroughs which he represented he received strong remon-
strances against "the Bill. • There certainly was an under-
standing that the second reading wouli not be pressed till
after Easter.

OSWALD explained.
After a few words from Sir J. WROTTESLEY, Mr. MAX-
WELL, and another HON. MEMBER,

Mr. OSWALD said he would be the last person to take
the House by surprise ; and he would, therefore, postpone the
second reading till Friday next.
Sir J. GRAHAM said the Standing Order imperatively
required that petitioners should state that they had personally
sustained some damage. Now the question was, did this peti-
tion come within the rule ? For his part, feeling that the
rule ought strictly to be adhered to, and applying the prin-
ciple to the Bill, he must oppose the motion.
The motion was ultimately postponed till Friday.
Captain PE C HELL presented a petition against the Croy-
don Railway.

SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY.
Lord ALBERT CONYNGHAM presented a petition
from the Mayor and Corporation of Canterbury against the
South Eastern Railway Bill.

BIRMINGHAM AND GLOUCESTER RAILWAY:
Colonel LYGON presented a petition against the Glou-
cester and Birmingham Railway.
Mr. HARDY presented a petition against the North-East-
crn Railway Bill.
Sir G. STRICKLAND presented a petition against the
North Midland Railway Bill from Lord Howden. The Hon.
Baronet also presented several petitions to the same effect.
CHESHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY.
Lord FRANCIS EGERTON moved, pursuant to no-
tice, that the Members of the Cheshire list be added
to the list of the Committee on the
.Cheshire Junction
Railway Bill. His object was to procure a full discussion, and
that all parties interested might be heard.
Mr. WILSON PATTEN supported the motion of the
Nobly Lord.

Mr. HUME asked how many members the Lancashire list
consisted of ? He believed it to consist of 117, and why 117
gentlemen could not properly consider the subject of the
Railway, was a question he was at a loss to know. The
Noble Lord had assigned no incapacity upon the part
of the• Lancashire List. The present motion was one proof
of the inconvenience arisin from the regulation now
established. The Bill bad' been referred to 117 gen-
