HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Mr. KENNEDY moved the third reading of the Glasgow
and Portpatrick Road Bill.

A conversation took place between the SPEAKER, Lord A.
riA MILTON, and Mr. D. GILBERT, as to the point of regu-
larity, after which the Bill was read a third time.
On the question that the Bill do pass,
Lord A. HAMILTON declared his intention to divide the
House upon it; but
After a few observations from Mr. MONTEITH, the Noble
Lord withdrew his opposition, and the Bill passed.
SOUTH LONDON DOCKS.
Mr. H. SUMNER moved that the Minutes of Evidence
taken before the Committee on the South London Docks Bill
be laid on the table.
.Mr. Alderman lIE YGATE said-that he was taken by sur-
prise, as he had understood the Hon. Member for Surrey last
night to have postponed his motion for the production of the
Minutes of Evidence until Thursday, the 10th of June; as,
however, he had moved for their return, he should move as an
amendment, that the further-consideration of the Minutes of
Evidence should be postponed until the 10th of June.
Mr. CURTEIS seconded the amendment.
Mr. H. SUMNER denied that be had given any such under-
standing as that alluded to by the worthy Alderman.
Mr. MA BERLY supported the original motion ; he ob-
served that there was a charge against the Committee, that for
the sake of delay they had
.procured Counsel to make long
speeches, and that the discussion of a single point which need
not have occupied more than a few minutes had taken up a
whole day. He hoped the time was arriving when such irregu-
larities would be put an end to.
Mr. S. BOURNE was also in favour of the original ques-
tion, remarking, that if there was any-impropriety attaching to
the Committee, the production of the minutes of evidence was
the hest mode of clearing the matter up, and enabling the
House to form tt-eorrect judgment on the subject.
Mr. 11. SUMNER said, that he was not surprised at the
course taken by the Honourable and Worthy Alderman, as he
had stated in the Committee that he would take every oppor-
tunity of delaying the progress of the Bill.
Mr. F. PA 1.31 E R remarked, that two of the most important
private Bills that were introduced to the House in that Session
were brought in violation of the standing orders, he meant
the Soath London and the St. Catherine's Docks' Bill, and
they had consequently been attended all through with difficulty
and obstructions.
- Mr. P. ORENFELL complained that neither the Worthy
Alderman, from whom the present opposition sprung, nor the
Hon. Member for Sussex, who seconded the amendment, had
attended to all the merits of the Bill while in the Committee,
except for the purpose of raising delay, nor indeed did the Hon.
Member for Southwark (Mr. C. Calvert) bestow much time on
it; and he therefere thought the opposition now unfair.
Sir W. DE CSIESP.IUrN r• Sir E. FlaitvEv, and Mr. Alder-
man Wool), made a for observations.
Mr. CALVERT observed, that as he had been alluded to
by his lion. Friend below him (Mr. Grenfell), as absenting
himself entirely from the. Committee, he would state to the
House why he had so done. He had consulted many of his
constituents, and he found them divided As' to the policy of the
Bill, and as he could not represent both interests, tie had thought
his best course was to remain neuter.—(l-Tear, hear !)
Mr. Alderman lIE Y GATE said that the Bill was a most
notorious job, and that the promoters of it now came forward
most unblushingly to charge those averse to it with unfairness.
It was fitting. that the House should know, that for the forma-
tion of the South London Docks 500 houses were to be pulled
down, and nl compensation was to be made to the tenants,
who were turned out to go where they could. He concluded
with stating that he should withdraw his amendment.
The original question was then carried without a division.
DRAINING BOGS IN IRELAND BILL.

The Draining Bogs in Ireland Bill was read a third time
and passed.
THAMES NAVIGATION REDUCTION BILL.
Mr. Alderman WOOD moved the third reading of the
Thames Navigation Reduction Bill.
M r. Alderman THOM I'SON moved, as an amendment, that
the Bill be read a third time that day three months.
After a few words from Mr. H. SUMNER and Mr. Alderman
BlirDGEs, the House divided.

For the third reading - - 25
Against it - - 6
There not being 40 Members present, the House adjourned.

FUNERAL Of Mn. liAnnis.--Yesterday being
appointed for the funeral of the above unfortunate gentleman,
every preparation was made tojemovebis remains to his last
abode, and the interest excited on the occasion was so excessive,
that for hours before the melancholy procession took place,
crowds of persons began to assemble round his late residence In
London-street, Tottenham-court-road, which was rendered
completely impassable until four o'clock, when all the neces-
sary arrangements were completed for the funeral. The
mourners, among whom were several of the deceased's rela-
tives, attended during the whole of the day. He was buried
at St. James's Church, Hampstead-road.

Information
was yesterday given at Hatton-
garden Police-office, to William Read, sen.,
head officer of the establishment, of a robbery
being committed on the premises of Mr. Wm.
COSSET, an extensive cow-keeper, living in
Gray's-inn-lane. It appeared that on the pre-
ceding day Mr. Cossey had visited his numerous
dealers, and had collected a large sum of money,
of which it is supposed the robbers had intima-
tion, as, about nine o'clock hi the evening, two
fellows entered the shop and called for a pint of
milk, when one of them entered into conversa-
tion with Mr. Cossey upon the subject of milk,
cattle, and dealers; whilst the other, on pretence
of going away, sneaked along the passage, went
up stairs into the front room an the first floor,
rifled the drawers, and carried off 150 sovereigns,
happily overlooking 2001. in Bank notes, that
were in another part of the same drawer. The
ruffian wbo committed the robbery effected his
escape by removing the flower pots from the
window into the room, and dropping himself into
the street.
