LOAN DISCOUNT BILL.

In answer to a question,
Sir G. GREY said that the Loan Discount Bill would
be the first business to-morrow, but he understood that
it would not occupy the attention of the House for a long

period.
BURGH POLICE (SCOTLAND) BILL.

The House went into Coirimittee upon this Bill.
The Bill went through Committee.
HIGHWAY RATES BILL.

On the motion for the order of the day for the second
reading of this Bill,
Sir W. JOLIFFE said that with the Turnpike Acts,
which were annually renewed, they found great evils
perpetually recurring. The functionaries employed
under the Turnpike Acts were unable, from want
of funds, to prosecute defaulters. Ile did think
that a mass of evil existed under the present
system, which was a disgrace to the Legislature
and the executive, and he thought that the subject ought
to be taken into consideration by the Government, with
a view to its amendment.

After a few words from Sir G. GREY,
The Bill was read a second time in order to be com-
mitted this day.
The following Bills were then read a second time:—
Stage Carriages, &c., Duties Bill.
Soap Allowances Bill.
TRUST MONEY INVESTMENT (IRELAND)

TO DAMASCUS, is to appear, we understand, in a few days.
The attention which has lately been directed towards the
East, it is expeeted, will be increased by the publication of
these travels, as the author's high position must have
enabled him to command facilities for noting whatever was
most worthy of observation in the various countries through
which he passed, seldom, if ever, accorded to travellers.
