IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

Their Lordships met at Five o'Clock.
A Clerk of the Cronn from Ireland delivered in a
return of the election of the Earl of Lucan, as a represen-
tative Peer for Ireland, in the room of the Earl of En-
niskillen, deceased.

Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the
Universal Society of Rational Religionists, praying for a
Commission to inquire into their doctrines. The Noble
and Learned Lord also presented a petition from Aberdeen
praying for a settlement of the Church Question in Scot-
land.

CASE OF THE REV. MR. O'REILLY.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH gave notice that on
Thursday, the 2d of July, he should move for a return of
the ❑ame of the party or parties to whom 50/. were stated
to have beer, paid by the Rev. Mr. O'Reilly, a Roman
Catholic priest in the county Cavan, for the compromise t:f
an offence with which he was charged ; and also of the
purposes to which the money was applied, and a copy of
the discharge.
Lord MELBOURNE said that the notice supposed the
case that the money had been paid for the compromise
oF an cffence.
The Marquis of W E ST M E AT H took that for granted
from the admission of the Noble Marquis at the head of
the Home Department. The Noble Marquis then pre
rented a petition from three gentlemen of the name of
Smith, and a gentleman of the name of Sharpe, complain-
of the great tlela3s.in the Court of Chanccr-

ESTATES IMPROVEMENT BILL.
The Duke of RICHMOND rose to move the second
reading of the Estates Improvement Bill. Its object was
to allow persons having a life interest in estates to borrow
money upon them for a certain number of years, for
the purpose of applying it to the draining and improvement
of the property. He thought it unnecessary to say more
respecting it, than to express his belief that it would be
found beneficial to the farmers, to agricultural labourers,
and also the fertility of the soil. If the clauses should be
deemed ,capable of improvement, he would be glad that
they should receive it ; or if it should be thought expe-
dient to refer the Bill to a Select Committee, he should
not have the least objection to it.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH was glad to find
the Bill would extend to Ireland, where it was much
needed. If it were only intended to charge the estates
for drainage on the surface, he thought it might be advan-
ageously carried much further.

—The 'Earl of PORTM A N thought it would be impos-
sible their Lordships could allow this Bill to pass in its
present shape, because it gavo te_natats for life of settled
estates a power which it was not intended they should have
by the person settling the estate, who, if he had thought a
charge for such purposes desirable, would have himself
charged the estate with it.
The Earl of Iladdington, the Earl of Devon, and Lord
Hatherton, supported the Bill.
Lord ASHBURTON doubted if the Bill was necessary.
The Duke of RICHMOND was about to move that
the Bill be referred to a Select Committee, when
Lord ELLENAOROUGH said he did not see why
that should be done. The Bill would then assuredly ba
lest.

The Duke of RICHMOND therefore withdroN that
proposition.
Bill read a second time.
The Colonial Passengers Bill went through Committee,
as did the Timber Duties Bill.
Their Lordships adjourned before Six o'Clock.

IIOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair this afternoon, at Four
o' Clock.
The Report of the Poor-l-aw Commissioners was brought
up and laid on the table.
Mr. FRES H FIE LD brought up the Report of the
Committee on Battersby'a Divorce Bill. The Report was
received, and the Bill read a third time, and passed.
Mowbray's Estate Bill was read a second time.
CLERKENIVELL IMPROVEMENT.
On the motion of Mr. T. D UNCOMBE, the Clerken-
well Improvement Bill was read a third time and passed.
WEAVER CHURCHES BILL.
Sir C. LEMON brought up the report of the Weaver
Churches Bill, and moved certain amendments.
Mr. E. J. STANLEY moved the amendments be read a
second time that day 5:..; months.—(Loud cries of
" Why ? why ?") The Hon. Member, however, remained
silent, and strangers were ordered to withdraw. No divi-
sion, however, took place, and on our re-admission to the
gallery we found
Mr. J. JERVIS on his logs. H 3 said it was quite cer-
tain that if the public had been awaro of the ob-
ject of the Bill, or if the investigation before the
Committee had been publicly reported and circu-
lated, great opposition would have been made
to the measure. This was not a mere private Bill ; the
principle involved in it was most important. The ques-
tion was whether that which had for years contributed
1,500/. a-year to the county-rates of Chester, and relieved
the rate-payer of that county to that amount, of whatever
religion such ratepayers might be, should now be devoted
to the erection of churches exclusively for the use of mem-
bers of the Establishment. This was the first instance in
which it had been attempted to endow churches out of
the county-rates. Hon. Members on the other side might
be anxious to adopt that principle to a man, and might
perhaps engage others to assist them in this instance who
would not like to have the same principle applied to their
own counties which it was now sought to apply to the county of Chester. In the Committee this had bcen
.
treated entirely as a party question. The majority
of that Committee was composed of Conservative Aleml
bers—to a man they had all advocated the building of
these churches, and had on all occasions voted together ;
so that the purpose of that Committee was not so much a
discussion of the question as the carrying out of the will
of the majority. Owing, however, to the accidental ab-
sence of two of these Members he had succeeded in in-
troducing a clause which it was now sought to strike out,
and Hon. Members opposite relied on the earlier and more
regular attendance of those Members who were desirous of
building churches out of the county-rates to enable them
to carry this into effect. Ho trusted that all those who
objected to such a principle would vote in favour of the
amendment.

of' the
Mr. 'WILBRAHAM opposed the bringing up
report ; and he did so because he did not think that money
should be raised on a whole county for the purpose of
giving additional church accommodation to a particular
district, lie looked upon such a principle as a dangerous
one, and as interfering with the rights of property.
Mr. THORNE LY was not only opposed to the mea-
sure but had a strong feeling against the whole system of
taxation followed by the trustees; and he hoped the
county would soon be released from it.
Mr. II UII E asked whether those Gentlemen who were
favourable to the measure would support the principle that
county-r3te3 formed a proper fund for the building of
churches ?_( Hear, hear.) That was the real principle
then at issue.
Mr. TATTON EGERTON said that the money in
question could not be considered as a country-rate. The
lion. Member for Kilkenny was therefore mistaken on
that point.

DECLARATION OF INSOLVENCY.
GEORGE THOMAS DAY, coal merchant, Cheater-wharf,
Pimlico.
