IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(This Evening.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool-
sack at the usual hour.
THE FOREIGN LEGIONS.

The Earl of DONOUGHMCRE said he wished to ask
a question of the noble lord the Secretary of War, as to
what was intended to be done with the foreign legions.
Lord PANMURE said that the foreign legions were
enlisted upon the understanding that they should be
liable, if it was requisite, to serve her Majesty in
any quarter of the globe, precisely in the way that the
other troops served. They were to have no claim to
half-pay on their being disbanded. When they were
disbanded they were to be sent free either to their
own homes or to any of her Majesty's colonies.
THE BISHOPRIC OF GLOUCESTER.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH called attention to
the fact that for a long time past there had been no re-
sident Bishop in the diocese of Gloucester, which was
a matter of the greatest inconvenience to the numerous
clergy of the diocese. He recommended, therefore,
that the diocese of Bristol and Gloucester should not
be filled until the clergy resident in those dioceses had
been consulted and their feelings ascertained on the sub-
ject.
Earl GRANVILLE said the subject was one of great
difficulty ; but her Majesty's Government had decided
that before the vacancy was filled the feelings of the
clergy living in the united dioceses should be inquired
into, and the inconvenience as far as possible remedied.

OUR RELATIONS WITH AMERICA.
The Earl of CARNA.RVON wished to know wheti•or
there had been any fresh arrival lately from America ;
and, if so, whether any information of a positive cha-
racter had been received ?

Earl GRANVILLE said that intelligence had been
received by the Government of the arrival of the steam-
ship Asia, from New York, but the information
brought by the vessel was not of a very
intelligible description, p.nd, such as it was, it was
mostly of a private character. At the present moment
her Majesty's Government was not in the possession
of any official information on the subject ; but letters
were expected either tonight or to-morrow which it was
thought would contain something definite on the point.
SECOND READINGS.
On the motion of Lord REDESDALE, the following
bills were read a second time, viz.:—Shrewsbury and
Hereford Railway, Vale of Clwyd Railway, Glasgow
Paving, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Rail-
way (Extension of Time, &c.), Fleetwood, Preston, and
West Riding Junction Railway, West Ham Gas, Colne
Valley and Halstead Railway, and Yarmouth and
Hadiscoe Railway Billy;
The Cork and Youghal Railway Bill was read a third
time and passed.
