persevere with it until it was triumphantly passed.
Mr. P. SCROPE said every poor man was entitled to
relief as long as he continued in a particular parish for
five years, and that parish was, therefore, liable to be
saddled with any Scotchman or Irishman who chose to
stay there for that period, and became entitled to relief.
Now he scarcely considered such a principle to be a just
one, and he requested the Goverment to postpone this
question until the next session of Parliament, The Hon.
Member for Finsbury alluded to certain parishes in
London which were poor, and the support of whose
poor should be provied by the rich parishes. The pre-
sent Bill would have an effect directly the contrary
to this. This would, lie thought, be an act of
injustice, more especially as the whole was to be revised
again next year. As soon as this Bill was passed, the
poor-law officers would commence pulling down the
cottages which were in their parish, for the purpose of
preventing the occupiers from having any claim upon
them, and thus driving the poor to other parishes. This
would also be an act of great injustice in a Bill which
was only to be in force for six months. For these
causes he said, do not tamper with the law by the passing
of such a measure as the present, which would create an
immense amount of confusion. He believed that settle-
ment and removability should be both united in one Bill.
He hoped, therefore, that her Majesty's Government
would not pass the Bill in its present incomplete form.
Colonel WOOD hoped the Government would not
accede to the request of the Hon. Member who last
addressed the House. The advantages in passing this
Bill would be to prevent persons being passed from one
end of the kingdom to another, and being left to wear
out their days in a parish which they had left for a
number of years. He had so much confidence in the
opinion of the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary of State,
and so much desire to see the Bill passed, that he would
himself withdraw the amendment of which lie had given
notice, for reducing the time mentioned in the Bill from
five to three years. He thought that the seventh clause
required some alteration; that clause enacted that the
magistrate should certify that the sickness or illness of
the pauper was incurable. He (Colonel Wood) did not
know how the magistrate should be able to determine
when sickness was incurable. He hoped that the Bill,
with a few necessary alterations, would be allowed to
pass.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, as law-adviser of the
Crown, he had introduced several alterations in the Bill,
which would not however, interfere with the principle of
the Bill. He proposed to strike out the two first sections of
the Bill altogether. Residence was well understood now.
One of forty days was the recognisable period, and had
been acted upon by the magistrates throughout the
country. In conclusion, he would call upon the House
to adopt the common-sense principle, and there would
be then no difficulty in dealing with the question.
Mr. B. ESCOTT—The uncertainty of the present
law was one of the greatest evils of the present system.
The grossest blunders were every day committed
through an ignorance of the law, by those who admi-
nistered it ; and, notwithstanding everything which he
had heard upon either side of tho House, he had failed
to perceive that the Bill before the House contained any
beneficial alterations.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. I'. BORTHWICK—Was gratified in the extreme
that the Noble Lord at the head of the Government
was willing to bring the whole question before a Corn-
mitte of the House. It was the principle of the law which
had generated those hideous circumstances which so
often came under their notice, and it was therefore the
principle of the Bill which they should attack. He
agreed in the main with the principle of the measure,
but reserved to himself the right to move the amend-
ments of which he had given notice in Committee.
Mr. BODKIN thought the present Bill one of the
greatest boons ever offered to the working
classes of the country, and he gladly accepted
it, subject to a slight modification he would
propose. He had been much pleased with the clear de-
finition of the term " residence" given by the Attorney -
General, and thought it entirely satisfactory. No diffi-
culty, he apprehended, would arise in the interpretation
of the clause which dealt with the question of industrial
residence. He would much rather take the Bill in its
present shape than wait for a more comprehensive mea-
sure at a future time. He was opposed to any step that
would tend to break up the present parochial subdivi-
sions, or make union settlements general, and therefore
he thought a middle course advisable. In lieu of the
proposition for a union settlement, he had given notice
of a clause that would meet all that was required. It
was, that all relief given to persons who, under the pro-
visions of the Bill, may become irremovable, shall, in
parishes forming part of a union, be charged to the gene-
ral fund of such union. This, he believed, would be a
satisfactory arrangement.
Captain PEC HELL could not agree with the Hon.
Member that had just sat down as to their being no dif-
ficulty whatever in regard to the definition of residen-
tial settlement. Considering the lateness of the session.
and the number of amendments proposed, he did not
think the measure could be satisfactorily settled. It was
a question of great importance, and it ought to be care-
fully considered. Above all things, before passing such
a measure, they should consider who was to administer
the law. The Poor-law Commissioners should not be
entrusted with it, as they were now on their trial before
the country for their administration of the new poor-law.
Mr. R. PALMER thought it would be more expe-
dient if the Right Hon. Baronet postponed the conside-
ration of the present measure till the Committee which
the Noble Lord would appoint early next session
had made its report. He, however, thought that
the details which were at present proposed would, if
carried out, give rise to a number of appeals and legal
discussions, and tend very much to perplex and compli-
cate the workings of the law. Instead of obviating, they
would increase the difficulties which at present existed.
He did not wish, however, to throw any obstacles in the
way of the Government with regard to the present mea-
sure ; but, under all the circumstances; he considered
that it ought to be postponed till the Special Committee
referred to made its report.
Mr. E. WODEHOUSE also advocated postponement.
The present was a crude measure, and would be found
not to give general satisfaction.
Captain EGERTON did not agree with the Hon.
Gentleman who had just sat down. On the contrary,
he thought the Government were quite right in pro-
ceeding with -the present measure. The public mind
was very much agitated with regard to it, and he was
of opinion that something ought to be done before next
session to meet the public expectation.
The Bill was then passed through Committee pro
forma, and was ordered to be printed.
The Service of Heirs (Scotland) Bill was then read a
third time and passed.
The Exclusive Privilege of Trading Abolition Bill
was then read a second time.
The Death by Accidents Compensation Bill was then
read a second time.
The Bankruptcy and Insolvency Bill was postponed
until Wednesday next.
ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE BILL.
On the motion for going into Committee on this Bill,
Sir G. GREY :said that the Bill was read a second
time only the previous day, and he had several altera-
tions to propose. He would therefore suggest that the
further proceedings on the Bill be postponed until
Monday next.
The Bill was, accordingly, postponed.
BELFAST ACADEMICAL INSTITUTION.
Mr. HUME moved that an humble address be pre-
sented to her Majesty " for copies of any correspon-
dence between the General Assembly of the Protestant
Church in Ireland and the Irish Government or her
Majesty's Government, respecting any increase to the
salaries of the four theological professors, in the Belfast
Academical Institution, in this or any previous year.
Agreed to.
IMPROVEMENT OF THE SHANNON.
Mr. LABOUCHERE moved for leave to bring in a
Bill for the repayment of sums. due by the county of the
city of Limerick, for advances Of public money for the
improvement of the river Shannon.
Leave was then geeanted, and the Bill was brought in
and read a first tire,
, The other orders of the day were then disposed of,
and the Houseadjourned at. Half-past Eleven o'clock.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Last evening her Majesty's theatre was crowded to
suffocation. Long before the doors were opened an im-
mense crowd of well-dressed persons assembled, anxious
for admittance. The crush was terrific, and by a
quarter after seven o'clock there was not a place in the
theatre, from which a view of the stage could be pro-
cured, unoccupied. The opera was It Barbilre, between
he acts of which we had the last scene of Lalla Rookli,
with Cerito, who, as if conscious of what was to follow,
surpassed herself in the celebrated Pas de Neuf. She
was rapturously applauded, and was called before
the curtain at the conclusion. After the last act
of the Opera came the great attraction of the t vening—
' Taelioni—La Gitana. Never was there such a recep-
tion as that given to the deesse last evening. Round
after round of applause greeted her appearance. It
seemed as though her adorers would never tire in the
enthusiasm of their worship. At length the ballet was
suffered to proceed, and her first pas seul brought down
renewed plaudits. Then came the mazurka, which was
a perfect triumph ; and the wonderful pas de deux
in the last act, with St. Leon. This pas is, perhaps,
the chef dceuvre of Taglioni, and never did she dance
more exquisitely, or look better than she did last night.
Why is it that she is determined to leave the stage
The public cannot spare her. The world has produced
one Shakspere—•one Garrick—one Mozart—one Cata-
lani—one Taglioni. The last alone is left to us. Why
does she quit the scene of her triumphs se soon ? But
it is useless to inquire. She is without rival, and, like
all monopolists, her will must be obeyed. All we
can do is to express our gratitude to Mr. Lumley
for having secured to us the presence of the deesse for
a few more nights. But we must not forget her con-
cluding triumph, La Gitana, the exquisite Spanish pas
with which the ballet concludes. She gives this pas
with an energy, a decision, a perfection, that stamps it
as a pas de caractere in the strictest sense of
the phrase, for there is diameter about the pas
as danced by Taglioni. It is truly a national
pas. Coquetish, yet haughty—fascinating, yet corn
manding engaging, yet proud the Gitana as
danced by Taglioni is an epitome of the Spanish national
character—but an idealised epitome—for Taglioni is a
poetess, and throws a halo of poetry around every thing
that she touches. She was called for at the conclusion
of every scene, and received the worship of a theatre,
which to use the words of Victer Hugo, was overflowing
with applause, light, and flowers; but while rendering
homage to the deesse par excellence, we must
not forget the minor divinities. She was admirably
supported by St. Leon in the pus de deux ;
and her cousin Louise Taglioni in a pas with Madlls.
Demelisse and Cassan, proved that she was not unworthy
of the name she bears. She is a true Taglioni. The
last scene of the Sonnambula, with Castellan as Amine,
followed La Gitana, and the grand Pus de Masque frora
La Catarina, with Lucile Grain as the heroine, con-
cluded the entertainments of this, the greatest "long
Thursday" of the season.
