IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
GENERAL POST-OFFICE.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
Mr. PARKER, on behalf of the Noble Lord at the head of
the Post-office department, said he had to explain and defend
the act which was complained of. When the present Noble
Lord who presided over that establishment came into office he
found, from the discussions that had taken place in this House,
that a very unsatisfactory feeling existed among those engaged
there. In fact the whole establishment was found to be in a
most unsatisfactory condition. Jr. regard to the getting up of
the "Post-office Directory." while some thought they were bene-
fited, others considered themselves aggrieved, and in consequence
a most uncomfortable feeling existed. He was, however, happy
to say that arrangements were in progress which would tend
in a great degree to allay the spirit that existed. Respecting
the particular case to question, no doubt a great
deal of ill feeling existed between him and the Post-
office authorities. Several papers had been already
presented on the subject, and othere were yet to be pre-
sented, before they could have the whole facts of the case
before them. It was said that this man was dismissed on
account of his givingevidence before the Commission
appointed to inquire into the management of the Post-
office, but it should be recollected that fifty other
witnesses were examined, while this appeared to be the only
one dismissed. It could not, therefore, be for giving the evi-
dence in question that the party was dismissed. The whole
truth of the allegation depended on the authority of
two persons of the name of Rae and Russell,
whose evidence, under the circumstances they were
placed, should be looked on with great caution. He
would suggest that the motion be withdrawn, as the Post-
master-General was undertaking an investigation into all the
matters relating to the management of the Post-office.
Air. HUME thought an inquiry was necessary, as the House
was bound to defend witnesses who were called on to give evi-
dence of the abuses that existed in any department of the
public service. He hoped the Noble Lord (Lord J. Russell)
would take the matter into his most serious consideration, and
allow an inquiry to be made.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL had full confidence in his Noble
Friend, the Marquis of Clauricarde, and he was quite sure that
if there was any injustice with regard to the individual in ques-
tion, that Noble Lord would give him redress. He, himself,
did not wish to pronounce any opinion, one way or the other, on
the conduct of that individual. With regard to the Commission,
he considered that it had too wide a range to effect any good.
Ile considered it would be much better to leave the whole
question in the hands of the Government, whose attention
would be constantly directed to the working of the Post-office,
with aview to its more efficient management. He himself did
not approve of the whole system of management there,
justlydres s o
brought

he could assure the Hon. Member for Montrose that the
best attention of the Government would be given to the re-
and complaint which might be
Mr. F. FRENCH instanced the case of Daniel Toner, in
against'Tegu iairti.tY
proof of the necessity of keeping these subordinate officers
under proper control.
Mr. WARBURTON lived that the claims of Mr. Row-
land Hill would be again considered, and his system fully
carried out.

Mr. WAKLEY designated the treatment of Mitchell as
grossly unjust, and hoped he could be provided for by being
appointed to as good a situation before next session.
Mr. SHEIL defended the course adopted by Lord Clan..
ricarde.

Captain LAYARD hoped Mitchell would be provided for.
He did not think that there was any imputation on the con.
duct of Lord Clanricarde.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE replied.
The motion was then by leave withdrawn.
POOR EMPLOYMEN l' (IRELAND) BILL.
This Bill was read a third time, and passed.
RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS' BILL.

The report on this Bill was received, and the Bill was ordered
to be read a third time on Monday next.
THE DISTRICTS LUNATICS ASYLUM BILL, THE
PAWNBROKERS' BILL, AND THE WASTE LANDS
(AUSTRALIA) BILL.
These Bills passed through Committee, and were ordered to
be reported on Monday next.
BUCKINGHAM PALACE.
Sir F. TRENCH gave notice that on the first day of the
next session he would move, that it appeared from the report of
Mr. Blore, the architect, that this palace was utterly unfit for
the residence of the Sovereign of this empire, notwithstanding
whatever expense might be incurred thereon in the shape of
alterations and enlargements, and that instead of going to
any further expense upon it, the House immediately grant the
necessary sum for the erection of a suitable residence for her
Majesty at Windsor.
The House then adjourned at Four o'clock.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES,

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

Room A.
r.7.II.NCHEST=II AND SOUTHAMPTON.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
Did not think opposing landowners who had made arrange
meets with the Manchester and Southaruptcm, could ex-
pect the Great Western to pav the expense of their opposi-
tion. It was customary for agents to solicit landowners to
oppose Bills to " stir Clem up to a sense of their grievances."
Re-examined by Mr. TALBOT—The narrow gauge was in-
tended to be laid down on the lines he had mentioned, with
the view of completing the narrow gauge communication
north and south.
This closed the case on the part of the opposition.
Mr. Russell was cross-examined at great length by Mr.
Sergt. WRANGIIAM—The Great W estern Company had given
directions to lay down the narrow in conjunction with the
broad gauge on the Oxford and Rugby and on the Gloucester
line. Did not think it was reasonable to expect the Great
Western to pay the expenses of opposing landlords who had
made engagements with the proposed line. It was also the
custom to canvass landowners to oppose, "to stir them up
to a sense of their grievances."
This closed the case on the part of the opponents of the
Bill.

Lord MONTEAGLE said he had consulted Lord Clarendon
last evening with respect to a letter sent by the Board of
Trade to the Great Western Company, calling upon them to
