IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
The Loan CHANCELLOR took his seat upon the Wool-
sack' at' Five o'clock.
PETITIONS.
Lord CRANWORTH presented a petition from cer-
tain attorney esuggescing alterations in the Expenses of
Pi osecutioes
The Duke of ARGYLE presented several petitions
against Papal aggression; also a petition from the ayned
of Ayr, praying their Lordships not to permit any
bishop to assume territorial titles in Scotland. He
thought it was scarcely worth while to introduce a
clause to exempt Bishops of the Episcopal Church in
Scotland from the operation of the Bill, as it had been
decided by the law courts of Scotland that the assump-
tion of such territorial tiara were illegal.
The Bishop of SALISBURY said that although such
titles were unknown to the law of Scotland they were
not contrary to law.
Lord CAMPBELL said that the Supreme Court of
Scctland bad decided that the assumption of such terri-
torial titles were cont-ary to law,
The Bishop of SALISBURY said that they violated
no law in assuming those titles.
Lord CAMPBELL said that the Right Reverend
Prelate had precisely the same right to assume the title
of Duke of Edicburgh as the Scotch prelates had to
assume their territorial titles.
RAILWAYS IN AMERICA.
Lord STANLEY, in putting the question of which
he had given notice, on the subject of the proposed
railway from Halifax to Quebec and Toronto, re-
minded their Lordships that an individual had
0 tr,r,,ri to construct a railway at his own cost,
from Lake Superior to the _Pacific, and that the United
States' Legislature had entertained the project, and had
offered to sell bias 78,000,000 acres of land, at 10 cents
per acre, for the railway. This rendered it more im-
portant that the railway from Halifax to Quebec and 1
Toronto should he completed, and he bsliev«i that pro- ,1
positions hal hen made by the Noble Esri,to Mr. Howe,
the able aed indetatigable agent for Nova Scotia, which
had found favour with the Legislature of Nova Scotia; I
tut as he understood the colony of New Bruoswick had
reiusi.d those terms, and bad repeated their adherence to
their original terms, to trendsr to the company or the
Legislature ten miles of territory on each side the line,
and unless New Brunswick conseeted to the formation
of the line; the consent of Nova Scotia and of Canada
would be useless, and the great line of communica-
tion between the Atlantic and the Pacific would
he carried on through the country of the United
States, instead of thrcugh British America, un-
less the Noble Earl comes to some terms with New
Brunswick. He asked, therefore, if the Noble Earl
would lay the proceedings of the New Brunswick Legis-
lature on the table, and if the Government were pre-
pared to meet the views of the New Brunswick Legisla-
tote. tshi-h to him appeared fair.
Earl GR'EY had no objection to lay the papers on the
table. eltbough the information conveyed by them was
very imperfect. He did not consider that the decision
of the New Bruuswick Legislature could be con-
sidered as final, as it bad been hastily adopted
at the end of a session on imperfect
information. He had never yet heard that any really
substantial company had offered to construct the
line, and the only company from which he had received
an offer was one which had been repudiated by the
Governments both of Nova Scotia and Canada. Hs had
acted on the principle of declining communication with
the representatives of any company which was not
countenanced by the Nova Scotian and Canadian Govern-
ments. He agreed with the Noble Lord as to the im-
portance of the construction of this line, and he did not
consider that whet bad passed in New Brunswick pre-
sented any insuperable obstacle to such construction.
Lord MONTEAGLE had heard with extreme antis-
faction the expression of opinion en the part of his
Noble Feieral that he did not consider the opposition of
New Brunswick to be of such a nature as riot to be over-
coxe. and that the Legislature of that colony might yet
be brought to aid in the making of the railway.
