IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT
HOUSE OF LORDS, June 24.
BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD RAILWAY.
Earl DEVON presented a petition from the chair-
man and directors of this railway, denying that they
had fraudulently kept back scrip certificates at the
meetings which had led to the recent proceedings. The
Noble Earl stated that he should to-morrow bring for-
ward a motion on the subject.
PORTPATRICK AND DONAGHADEE.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY wished to ask
the Noble Lord at the head of the Admiralty the
opinion of the Government respecting the suitability of
Portpatrick and Donaghadee as harbours of refuge, and
what were the intentions of the Government with respect
to them.
Lord AUCKLAND was understood to say that the
subject was under the consideration of the Government,
and he had no doubt that when the means of railway
communication wer© appended to those parts, the
Government would undertake to complete the harbours.
BISHOPRIC OF MANCHESTER.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved the order of
the day for bringing up the report on this Bill.
Lord REDESDALE moved as an amendment the
omission of the second clause.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said the Noble Lord
was two early with his amendment. The Bishop of
Bangor had an amendment before him.
The Bishop of BANGOR then rose to introduce the
amendment of which he had given notice.
The Bishop of LONDON opposed it.
The amendment was negatived, the report received,
and the third reading fixed for Monday next.
TIC CASE
moFouvrE,
REV.
M.
presentedl rrLEaWp J4tl4On
for the Rev. M. Kettlewell, Master of the Endowed
School of Clonmel, and moved for some returns with
respect to certain property in connexion therewith. The
petitioner, as we understood, complained of the conduct
of the solicitor to the Commissioners of Schools in dis-
missing him from his situation. The Noble Lord
entered into some particulars of the case, but was per-
fectly inaudible in the gallery.
The Archbishop of DUBLIN stated, that he knew
nothing whatever of the matter, except what he had
heard through his chaplain, and as one of the Commis-
sioners of the National Board of Education, he had no
objection to the production of the papers.
After a few words from the Earl of MOUNTCASHEL
and Lord MONTEAGLE, the motion was agreed to.
DUBLIN MENDICITY SOCIETY.
The Archbishop of DUBLIN presented a petition
from the Mendicity Society of Dublin, praying their
Lordships to address the Crown to institute an inquiry

the mode adopted under the poor-law.
The petition was ordered to lie on the table.

read a third time, and passed.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 24.
BATTERSEA PARK.
Sir DE LACY EVANS wished to ask the Noble
Lord at the head of the Woods and Forests when
there was any intention of proceeding with the forma-
tion of Battersea Park and Gardens?
Lord MORPETH said that they had found it neces-
sary to await the verdict of the jury impannelled to
ascertain the value of certain portions of the property,
and as soon as that was obtained they would proceed.
IRISH RELIEF FUND.
