THE SUN,

of late in that country, under the Encumbered Estates
Commission.
Mr. U A. HERBERT said he thought it was most
desirahie that that Bill shou!d be passed with the
least possible delay. Most persons were agreed that
asme such measure was at present indispensable in
Ireland.
Mr. GOOLD supported the second reading of the Bill,
as affirming the proposition that the present state of the
law was unsuited to Ireland, and that the principle of
arbitration should be had recourse to.
Mr. SCULLY also supported the second reading, being
of epinion that good woutd result from carrying out the
principle.of the Bill, though the details were susceptible
of improvement.
Lord C. HAMILTON said he felt that he shou'd be
acting inconsistently with the general opinion of the
House it he did not support the Bill; and he trusted the
lion. Member fur Buckinghamshire would not press his
view of the question on the present occasion. He must
also tender his thanks to the Right Hon. Gentleman op-
posite for this attempt to adapt the law to the peculiar
circumstances of Ireland.
Mr. G. A. HAMILTON approved of the principle of
the Bill, though not of all its details.
Mr. DISRAELI, in explanation, denied that he had
stated that the Irish Members should not be consulted on
Irish subjects. Oa the contrary, he thought they ought
to be consulted, nut only on Irish, but ou all other sub-
jscts introduced into this House in a parliamentary
manner, arid accordiog to the usage and custom of Pet-
liament.—(ther, hear.) And whenever a Bill was in-
trouuree into this House they ought to be consulted,
either in the discussion iu this House or in a Select Com-
mittee.
Mr. LABOUCHERE also explained. The Bill had
its origin in toe representations of Lish Members, acid it
was quite consistent, therefore, when it had been intro-
duced, that he should consult them on tee details.—
(Hear.) He avowed that he was not ashamed of taking
"that course, and that on all Bills relating to trade, and
ehlch did not involve any party principle, he conceived
that it would bo of the greatest acivawsge for a Member
of the Government to communicate frankly with Mem-
bers on all sides of the House, without distinction of
party.—(Elear.) Whenever he had a Bill relating to
Ireland he ibould always resort to the advice and
assistance of the Irish Members.
Tne Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to
be committed this day wet k.
CHURCB BUILDING ACTS AMENDMENT BILL:
On the order of the day for the second reading of
this Bill,
Mr. HUME rose and asked the Home Secretary to
consent to its postponement.
Sir G. GREY declined acceding to the lion. Gentle-
man's request.
Mr. FttE WEN supported the second reading of the
Bill.
Lord DUNCAN urged that several portions of the
measure were objectionable, and particularly the clause
which provided for letting at a rent seats in churches
which were now entirely tree.
Mr. S. HERBERT said that this was a measure of
practical reform, which was greatly needed, and that the
Noble Lord's objections could be better considered in
Committee.— (Hear.)
Mr. HUME moved the adjournment of the debate, ob-
serving that a question of more vital importance, as
affecting the rights of the poor, bad not come under his
notice durihg the last Went), years.
Mr. AULIONBY seconded the motion for adjourn-
ment. The principle of the Bill was, he said, to take
away those seats in churches which had been subscribed
for es tree seats, and to let them for -the purpose of
giving the proceeds to the incumbent.
After some further conversation it was agreed (Sir G.
ey consenting) to adjourn the debate until twelve
o'clock to. morrow (this day).
GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH. BILL.
On thu reading of the order of the day for considering
the amendments in this Bill,
Mr. .13R1SC0 ruse end moved that the borough of
Hastings be included iu the provisions of the Bill.
LortreEYe.OUit said that he had purposely omitted
Hastings in cun-equence of a petition to that effect
presented to the House from the borough by one of its
Members.
Mr. FULLER supported the motion of Mr. Brisco.
Mr. FRE WEN said that all the medical mere in Hast-
ings and St. Leonard's had strongly expressed their opi-
nion in favour of the necessity of extending the Bill to
the town. Ho knew that au anxious desire existed on
the part of the majority of the inhabitants of the town to
be included in the Bill.
Lord 1101211 A NI said the question was, not whether
Hastings should have the benefit of a board of heath,
but whether the whole borough, including St. Leonard's,
should be brought under the operation of the Bill. Why
could not Hastings test contented with draining their
own town, without insisting on including St. Leonard's,
of which is great majority of the inhabitants,were op-
posed to it? There was more in this than met the eye,
and no doubt the contributions of St. Leonard's would be
very valuable in assisting Beatings to carry out the plan.
Under all these circumstances, he would resist the mu-
tton of the Hon. Member for Hastings.
Viscount EBRINUTON would reserve any amend-
ments which he had to make till the third reading, and
would merely observe that if the Bill were to be delayed
till absolute unanimity were to be obtained in evt ry town,
the intentions of Parliament would be to a great extent
defeated.
After some further discussion the House divided,
when there appeared—
For Mr. Brisco's motion ... ... 46
Against it ..• ... 48
Majority against the motion ... —2
The report was then agreed to.
The Lodging Houses Bill was read a third time and
passed.
The other orders were then disposed of, and the House
adjourned at a Quarter-past One o'clock. •

CHEAP GAS IN THE CITY OF LONDON.—Yeger •
day the Great Central Gas Consumers' Company Bill passed
the Committee of the House of Lords without opposition.
Atter a three years' struggle, the old City Company have
agreed to amalgamate with the new company upon terms by
which their works and pipes will be taken for shares in the
amalgamated company, to be valued at the prevent price of
iron and building material, after making proper reduction
for wear and. tear. The Bill, as passed, will secure to the
public and the shareholders all the benefits the new company
was established to confer. It is understod that since the
reduction of price. the con umption of gas in the City has so
greatly increased that it will be quite sufficient to occupy
both lots of works and pipes.
