IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, APRIL 6.

At Four o'Clock the Loaf. CHANCELLOR, the Earlvof
CLAIIENDoN, and the Earl of StIAFTESBuRY took toel, sesta
below the Throne as Lord Commissioners, when the De-
puty Usher of the Back Rod was ordered to summon the
Commons to hear the Royal Assent given to various Bills.
Soon after, the Speaker, attended by a number of Mern-
hers, appeared at the has, when the Royal Assent was given
in Of usual way to the Boni Duties Equalization Bill,
the Turnpike Acts Continuance Bi 1, the Turnpike Acts
Continuance (Ireland) Bill, the Population Act Amend-
ment Bill, the Houghing of Cattle (Ireland) Bill, the
Durham and Sunderland Riulftay Bill, the York and
North Miedand Railway B ilt the Glasgow, Pa;sley, and
Greenock Rirlway Bill, and tne Manchester and Salford
Waterworks Bill.

Tl-e house then adjourned during pleasure.
The EArl of SHAFTESBURY' resumrd his seat at Five
&Clock.

'Aless,:ngers from the Commons brought up the Eastern
Counties Railway Amendmeot Bill, the London and Black-
wal (Cernmereidl) RaiLkay Bill, and several other Pri-
ate Bilk.

The Bishop of LONDON presented petitions from
Northampton and the disee;e a Peterborough, against the
Commutation of Titi es 13.11; also petitions from Clap-
ham-rcad, and Lambeth and Blackfriarv-road, praying that
the tolls mis;ht be taken off the metropolitan bridges;
also a petition from Llanelly, in Wales, against idolatrous
worship in India. The Right Rev. Prelate then moved
for a copy of a despatch sabot out in March last relative
to the idolatrous ce,.emonies of the inhabitants of the Pre-
sidency of Madras. —Ordet ed.
The Duke of WELLINGTON presented a petition
from the Mayor, Aldermen, and Corporation of Dover in
favour of the Jews' DeelarStims
_Bill. Tee Noble Duke
said he could not concur in tl*prayer of the petition.
The Marquis of NORMANSNY presented a petition from
Westminster, praying that the toll night be taken off the
metropolitan bridges. The Noble Lord then moved for
papers connected with ills result of certain trials in Ireland,
He had felt it his duty das:, night to oppose the motion of
the Noble Earl oa grounds which appeared rea,onable to
their Lordships, but he was anxious to give every informa-
tion in his power, He should therefore MQVC for a re-
turn of all the trials for Ribbonism in Ireland during the
last two years, distinguishing those who had been con-
visted and those who had bean acquitted, and also
the cases is which the Jury had been discharged without
coming to any decision. He had re ison to believe that the
result would prove that the acquittals which in ordinary
cases were to the conviet'ons as seven, six, and five to four,
and would turn out to be in the Ribbon cases in the r-rtin of
three and a 'half convictions to one acquittal. and that
there was only one case in which the Jury had
been discharged without coming to any verdict.
The Noble Marquis said ha wished to take that opportunity
of curio cting an error in the report that had gone forth to
the pub!ie, of his speech lait evening, and by which it
would appear that the examination of toe panel of the Jury
by Mr. Biddulph had taken place io privets, which was
net the case. What he steed was that Mr. Bid-
dolp'i was by when the panel was called over,
and the words of the Magistrates were, that he had di-
rec:ed Mr. Biddulph to look at the panel attentively.
There was every desire on the part of the officers of the
Crown to receive information from Mr. Biddulph, reserv-
ing to themselves the right of acting upon that information
on their own resporsihility,__ _

and he promised to remain till the last ; but he believed it
was the usual practice, when it was intended to adjourn
for more than one day, to make the motion before the com-
mencement of the regular business.

Mr. HUME said i) believed it was the usual practice,
but a very bad one he thought.
Mr. WAKLEY said, as the Noble Lord intended to
stop till the closer of the proceadings, it would not be at all
inconvenient for him to make the motion at the end of the
proceedings.—( Cries of " No, no.")
The SPEAKER said, if the motion were not agreed
to before five o'clock, Hon. Members would be prevented
from giving notices of motions for arty day after the hull-
day.—Tbe motion was then agreed to.
M'. J. O'BRIEN gave notice, -Chat on the 29th ins'ant
be would move an address to her Majesty, praying that she
would take me tsurc3 to carry into effect the Second Re-
port of the Railway Commission in Ireland.
Mr. GROTE gave notice that on Thursday, the 22d,
he should submit a motion relative to the Land Fund and
Finances of Now South Wales, similar to that which he
brought before the House the other day, when it was
counted out

Mr. /I AWES gave notice that he should on We Ines-
say, the 21st, move the second reading of the Molical
Reform Bill. •

Mr. E WART gave nonce that he should, on the 20:h,
bring forward a motion for opening the Regent's
Park. He should also move for a Committee to inquire
into the propriety of appointing a public prosecutor.
Mr. MUNTZ gave notice that he should in Committee
on the Criminal Justice Bill move for leave to introduce a
clause to declare valid the Birmingham Charter.

Mr, HUME moved for a return of the number of pri-
soners confined for debt at this time in England and
Wales, and in Ireland ; also for a retura of the number of
prisoners now confined for offences against the Revenue
Laws.

Mr. P. HOWARD, seeing the Noble Lori the Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs in his place, begged to ask him
wh-n the Portuguese Commission far the settlement of
British claims was likely to open for the discharge of those
claims ?

Lord PALMERSTON replied that the Commission
had been occupied fur a considerable time in inquiries
which it was necessary to go into before they proceeded to
investigate the claims. A question had arisen as to the
contracts which should be considered binding and appli-
cable to the cases of different. claimants. The Commis-
loners had referred this question to the arbitrator, who
had been }Nevi ausly appointed, and who had not yet
given his decision. The Commissioners felt that
it was impossible, with any advantage, to in-
vite claimants to send in their claims until it had been
determined what the principles were which was to be ap-
plied to those claims,
Mr. GO ULBURN Fail, seeing the Noble L'rd the
Secretary for Foreign Affairs in his place, he begged to
ask him what had been done with respect to the Syrian
papers which were promised on the first night of the
Session.

Lord PAL M E 1?. STO N said that the whole would be
laid on the table in a few days.

In answor to a question from an HON. MEMBER, the
NOBLE LORD S3ii the papers could Include an account of
the transaction respecting Mr. Wood's Commission, and of
the whole of the proceedings in Syria.
