IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, 1,1 N. 29.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his scat on the
Woolsack at Five o'Clock.
Viscount I)UNCANNON laid on the table the
Ordinances of the Governor and Special Council of
Lower Canada.
PUBLIC HEALTH.
The Marquis of NORM AN BY begged to move the
first reading of a Bill, to the details of which he would
call the attention of their Lordships at some future
stage. It touched not only the social condition but the
health of large classes of the social community. It
was a Bill for better draining and improv-
ing buildings in large towns and cities. A
great mass of information on that subject had been
communicated to their Lordships at the end of last
session, and their Lordships would find by it that
within the last thirty years capital had accumulated a
great mass of industry in particular localities, where
sufficient provision had net been made for the
social comfort or health of the industrious classes.
He felt that any remedy that could be at
present applied would be only palliative, and, to
a certain extent, preventive for the future. To
these two points the Bill was directed, and he was sure
their Lordships would give it due attention. Compl tint
had been made every Session that their Lordships had
nothing to do before Easter, and he hoped that would
be sufficient excuse for bringing forward the Bill at so
early a period.

Lord ELLENBOROUGH was extremely glad
that the Noble Marquis had browlit forward such a
Bill. He had read the Report to which the Noblo
Marquis had alluded, with the greatest pain and apprc_
hension for the health of the working classes, and the
greatest commisseration for the sufferings of thole who
were subjected to these privations. He should give
his best attention to the details of the Bill.
The Bill was then read a first time and ordered
to be read a second time on the 12th
_of February.

subject in the public mind, and he could assure his Noble
Friend that the Government were actuated by the same
feelings as himself, and were most anxious to
to uphold the laws of the country and to punish in the
most severe manner a crime which had occasioned
great loss of life and was a disgrace to that part of the
kingdom in which it occurred.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE wished to know ►shethcr
the Npble Marcy:is would have any objection to lay
any further information which the Government might
receive upon the table.

The Marquis of NORMANBY had no objection
whatever to do so. It was generally supposed
that the same indulgence had been given to
these parties as to other political offenders ; but
political offenders were of various degrees. It was
supposed that political offenders of every grade
were to be treated with less rigour than other offen-
ders. But it was to he remembered that political of-
fences were of various degrees, and he wished it to be
understood that he did not consider the offences of those
men came under the description of that class which
ought to be treated with leniency.
Lord BROUGHAM said he believed tie Noble
Lord (Wharncliffe) was misinformed when he sail that
the Judges were unanimous in their decision upon the
technical question.
Lord WHARNCLIFFB was understood t 3 ex-
plai❑ th:t he had not said the Judges were unanimous.
The conversation then dropped, and the House ad-
journed to Monday.

_HOUSE OF COMMONS, JAN. 29.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'Clock.
ANSWER TO THE ADDRESS.

terday aitended her Majesty with the Address, to which

most gracious answer :

" I have received with creat satisfaction your loyal
and affectionate Address. I thank you for your con-
gratulation on the increase of my domestic happiness. I
shad not cease to direct my most earnest attention to
every meesure which may be calculated to promote the
public we:fare, and for the maintenance of the peace of
Europe."
Mr. HUMPHERY presented a petition from the
borough of Southwark, preying for the erection of a
new street leading to I;lackfri►rs-bridge.
Mr. EASTHOPE presented a petition agreed to at
a public meeting at Leicester, praying for the abolition

The Hon. Member moved that the petition should be
printed with the Votes.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL proposed that the question
should be adjourned till Monday, to give Hon. Mem-
bers an opportunity of acquainting themselves with the
subject.—Agreed to.

Captain WINNINGTON presented a petition from
Worcester, praying for leave to bring in a Bill for the
