o'clock.

THE BISHOP OF GLOUCESTER. _

Mr. HORSMAN gave notice that on Friday next be
should move for returns of all correspondence connected
with the subject of the leasing of Horsfield by the Bishop
of Gloucester, on which occasion he should be ready to
hear and meet the explanation which the recently pub-
lished letters of the Hon. Member for Bristol, and 0'
the Bishop himself, might seem to promise.
Mr. P. MILES said that on that occasion he should
be ready to give every explanation on the subject of the
charges made by the Hon. Gentleman opposite.
COLONIAL PROPERTY QUALIFICATION BILL.
On the motion for going into Committee on this Bill,
Mr. TUFNELL moved that it be an instruction to
the Committee to provide for the abolition of any pro-
perty qualification for the election of Members to serve
in Parliament. The Hon. Gentleman dwelt strongly
on the recent case of Mr. Prinsep, elected for the borough
of Harwich, who, though no doubts were entertained as
to his respectability and wealth, was deprived of his
seat by the default of some technical qualification. No
property qualification was required for Scotch Members,
and he could not see any reason why any difference
should be made between the two countries.
Mr. EWART seconded the motion, as being a Scotch
Member, and therefore not called on for a property
qualification. He also reminded the Reuse that the
Members for the Universities had no qualifications.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought the present pro-
posal came rather in a singular shape, being an amend'
ment to destroy all qualification whatever on a Bill, the
object of which was to admit colonial property as a
qualification. Since the time when qualifications were
first insisted on the times were much changed, and
those things which were then realities were
now mere forins. At present there was v°,
security in the estate of the qualification, so
therefore he thought the whole subject ought to be
taken into the consideration of the House; and for his
own part he should be ready to give it all the attention
in his power. The subject, however, would be better
introduced in the shape of a separate Bill than as 6
mere amendment on another Bill. If his Hon. Friend,
therefore, proposed his amendment to the Bill, he should
feel it his duty to vote against it.
Mr. NEWDEGATE said he would fully admit that
the law was defective, but the remedy was exceedire
simple. The effect of the amendment would be to get
rid of the Bill while it raised a discussion on a veil
large question at a time when the House was not pre-
pared to discuss it.
Mr. HENLEY thought this motion had been brought
forward at a very inconvenient period. He denied the
proposition of the mover of the amendment, that it ever
was the privilege of electors to return representatives S°
the House without any restraint whatever. As to their
character it was desirable that Members of Parliament
should be able to attend to their duties in the House
without inconvenience or pecuniary loss, and ilede.
pendently of possessing the confidence of constituents►
that they should always be persons who were likely 10
become good legislators.
Mr. E. DENISON opposed the Bill, which only pa!'
fessed to alter a slight defect in the law where quali-
fication ought to be abolished altogether. He recoai;
mended that, under the circumstances, Mr. Tufnell should
withdraw his motion, and leave the question in the hands
of the Noble Lord at the head of the Government.
Mr. TUFNELL said, after the statement of Lora
John Russell he would not press his amendment, and
would suggest that the Hon. Member who had charge
of the Bill should adopt a similar course.
Mr. HUTT replied to some of the observations made
during the discussion, and concluded by withdrawing
his motion.

The order of the day was then discharged.
HOME MADE SPIRITS IN BOND BILL.
On the order of the day for the second reading 0f
this Bill, several petitions were presented in its favour.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER pro'
sented a petition from the spirit dealers of London
against the Bill.
Lord NAAS then moved the second reading.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER or
posed the motion.
(LEFT SPEAKING.)

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO THE
CITY.—(THIS DAY.)
The preparations for the reception of her Majesty in
the City, to-elight, were continued this morning with
great vigour, steed in all the principal thoroughfares from
Temple-bar to ti.'e Exchange, workmen were activell
engaged from an early hour in laying down go
pipes from the majn, to supply the hundreds of
illuminations which are to decorate the different public
buildings and houses in h,-incur of royalty. The illunit"
nations, indeed, promise to be more numerous and bril-
liant than on any previous occasion, though, be"
fore yesterday, there was scarcely a sign the/
such a demonstration of civic feeling would take
place. The internal decorations of the Guildhall
are now nearly completed, and give to the ancient ecli'
flee a degree of splendour and magnificence quite beside
its usually naked and sombre appearance. All tl3*
now remains to be done are the arrangement of some
draperies, and the placing around the ball, passages+
galleries, supper, and ante-rooms various kinds
of plants and exotics, which are to be supplied
in very large quantities. A new entrance, in the gothic
style, surmounted by a royal star, has been erected for
her Majesty, and awniegs have been put up along both
sides of the court-yard, in order to enable the company
to alight under cover. Most of the public buildings ie
the City will be brilliantly illuminated. The beat**
tiful facade of the Exchange will bo covered
with coloured lamps, and the motto, " The
earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof," will be
scribed in large letters of glittering light from one end
of it to the other, and will be seen from a considerable
distance off. The Bank of England will be stir'
rounded with gas stars, elevated on each lamp posts
wreaths of jets being suspended between post and
post. The black and dingy portico of the
Mansion-house will be lighted up by a very extensive
illumination, consisting of a star, a crown, and floret
wreaths, which occupy the whole front of the building,
This central spot will be a perfect blaze of light, such+
perhaps, as was never before seen. Along the
whole of the Poultry. Cheapside, St. Emirs
Churchyard, and Fleet-s;reet, illuminations of various
kinds, and on a greater or Jess extensive scale, are ill
active preparation, many of them bearing mottoes very
appropriate for the occasion. At the shop of Messrs.
Dukin, in St. Paul's Churchyard, a large trans-
parency, representing the union of nations, has
been fitted up, and will, no doubt, form an
object of considerable attraction to-night. Temple-
bar will bo completely covered with lamps of various
hues, and will scarcely be known in its new and gay
attire. Each tide will be ornamented with a huge
" V. A.," a crown, and a scroll. During the whole morning
the above thoroughfares have been densely thronged by
persons anxious to witness

in the streets were beginning to take up their places.

T -quarters of the 91st Regiment, which
have for had
or somee time been stationed in this town, and whose
frequent collisions with the police have rendered their re-
moval necessary, left Liverpool on Saturday for Chester and
Manchester. They have been replaced by a few companies
of the 28th Regiment.—Liverpool Mercury.

sion to the married men to take their wives, and those not
