LUNATIC ASYLUMS BILL.

The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from
Glarnorganshire, praying for certain alterations in the
Lunatic Asylums Bill. It was ordered to lie upon the
table.

Other messengers from the House of Commons brought
up certain Bills, the r.ception of which occupied a con-
siderable portion of time.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from a pri-
vate gentleman in Southampton, complaining of the
injuries which a proposed railway would inflict upon his
property.
MINISTERIAL ARRANGEMENTS.

The Marquis of LANSDO WNEsaid, that consider-
ing the present state of circumstances, and the number
of new writs which bad been moved for in the other
House of Parliament, it would be quite inexpedient to
transact any public business ; he would be therefore
quite prepared to move that the Heuse at its rising do
adjourn until some day next week, were it not that
there was an immense quantity of private business to
be transacted. He would, therefore, not move an ad-
journment, but that the House should continue to sit, it
being expressly understood that no public business
should be transacted—the House only to hear motions
with reference to private business, and to receive pe-
titions.

Lord STANLEY thought that it would be incon-
venient for them to sit at four o'clock, and that the
usual hour would be much preferable.
The Marquis of LANSI)OWNE had no objection to
accede to the suggestion of the Noble Lord, that they
should meet at five o'clock.

Lord BROUGHAM said that it was quite impossible
for them to adjourn, for the judges had to meet there
for the purpose of giving judgment in two important
causes, and they could not do so in the event of the
ilotv.e adjourning for a week.
MANCHESTER MARKETS BILL.
On the motion of the Duke of RICHMOND, this Bill
was read a third time and passed.
Messengers from the Commons hrought up several
13.11- and prayed their Lordships' concurrence.
Tneir Lordships then adjourned tilt to-morrow at, five
o'clock.
