BUSINESS OF THE SESSION.

Lord BROUGHAM gave notice of his intention to-
morrow to move an address to the Crown upon the sub-
ject of the business of the session.

LEITH HARBOUR BILL.

Lord CAMPBELL moved the third reading of the
Leith Harbour Bill, and explained its provisions at con-
siderable length. He said the object of the Bill was to
empower the commissioners of the harbour to expend
the surplus of their capital on improving the harbour,
and to raise, if necessary, 125,0001. by loan, for the
same purpose. He, however, had no objection to
strike out the clause empowering the commissioners to
create additional capital to this amount, as he believed
the Noble Lord opposite (Lord Redesdale) objected to the
Bill on account of that clause. He could not, however,
consent to the re-committal of the Bill.
Lord REDESDALE said he was perfectly justified in
characterising the Bill as a "job." Why there never was
a❑ instance of a Minister of the Crown proceeding with
a Bill to its third reading, and then consenting, for the
purpose of neutralising opposition, to withdraw the
leading clause. The Commissioners sought power to
raise far more money than they themselves admitted
they required. He moved that the Bill be read a third
time this day three months.
(LEFT SITTING.)

CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL.

AIL S. OBRIEN was led to put a question to the
Chancellor of the Exchequer relative to the Charitable
Trusts Bill. The Right Hon. Gentleman had on a
former occasion stated that the Lord Chancellor had
introduced a Bill into the House of Lords for the purpose
of regulating charitable trusts, but finding there was
so much opposition to the measure proceeding in
the present session, that Noble and Learned Lord
bad thought it his duty to withdraw it. Now
what he wanted to know was, whether the Right Hon.
Gentleman had any objection to the Bill now being read
a first time, in order that it might be printed, and its
provisions considered in the interval between the disso-
lution of the presont and the meeting of a new Par•
liament.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that the Hon. Member had, in some respects, misunder-
stood what he had stated on a former occasion. The
Bill had been introduced in the Lords and printed, and
he had a copy of it, which was very much at the service
of the Hon. Member.
