The Lords Commissioners were the LORDCHiNCELLOR,

VENTILATION OF THE HOUSE.

The Earl of ST. GERMANS then rose, pursuant to
his notice, to call the attention of the House to this sub-
ject. Every one of their Lordships who bad attended
Parliament during the• present session must, of neces-
sity, have perceived bow imperfect was the ventilation
of the buitding in which they were then assembled.
Their Lordships must have been annoyed at one time by
the foul air, and at another by the frequent and alternate
currents of hot and cold air employed to remove that foul
air. A mere statement of the evil was sufficient to con-
vince their Lordships of the necessity of getting rid of
such a nuisance. At an earlier period of the session he
should have moved that a Select Committee be appointed
to remedy this state of things; but, at this eleventh
hour, he would only call attention to it, with a view of
strengthening the hands of the Government and of de-
volving upon them the duty of providing a remedy. Ho
bad applied to the Board of Woods and Forests on this
subject; but that Board said, " We have nothing to do
with it." Ire had applied to the New Palace Commis-
sioners, and they echoed the phrase, " We have nothing
to do with it." It rested then, he believed, with
their Lordships themselves. But their Lordships
might, perhaps, say, " What are we to do?
We have no funds." He was sure that the House of
Commons would not grudge them funds to remove
such an abominable state of things. The Treasury
might safely make the necessary advances; no objection
to make them good would ever be off-red by the House
of Commons. He recommended ber Majesty's Govern-
ment to appoint some scientific persons to examine into
the subject during the recess, and to report to them
forthwith. His Noble Friend (the Earl of Harrowby)
had just suggested to him that the ventilation of their
committee-rooms were equally defective and bad. Mr.
Goldsworthy Gurney had applied his steam-jet very
successfully to mines and to the courts of law. The
temperature was now equally preserved in both, and
everything was now satisfactory to the colliers and to
the bar. He thought that at a small expense the
ventilation of the House might be improved by the
same scheme. _ _

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that the free
circulation of air had hitherto been impeded by certain
buildings which they had been unable to remove until
the completion of the two Houses of Parliament. Mr.
Barry had, he believed, been in communication with
Mr. Goldsworthy Gurney, and he hoped the result
would be that their Lordships would find themselves
next sossion in a very improved condition with respect
to ventilation.—(Hear.)
EPISCOPAL AND CAPITULAR ESTATES MA-

NAGEMENT
The Commons' amendments of this Bill were consi
dored and agreed to.
PATENT LAW AMENDMENT BILL.

The Earl of MINTO, in moving that the Commons'
amendments of this Bill be agreed to, admitted that they
were of a nature materially affecting the principle of the
Bill, and such as it was almost too much to ask their
Lordships at this period of the session to assent to. At
the same time, the Bill contained a valuable and im-
portant improvement of the present law, and he thought
it would be advisable, therefore, rather to adopt the
amendments than to lose the Bill altogether.
Lord MONTEAGLE objected to the amendments.
Tn the first place, they had not yet been printed,
and their Lordships had no means of knowing the
nature of them. A Committee of their Lordships'
House had sat upon this subject 16 days, and had
examined 80 witnesses from different countries, in-
cluding the Crown officers, the Master of the Rolls, the
Attorney and Solicitor-General; and upon the report
of that Committee the Bill had been framed. That
very day the Bill had been reported and read a third
time in the House of Commons. The House of Com-
mons
itself could hardly know what had been dons,
while their Lordships must be in total darkness on the
subject. The amendments contained some alterations of
a very material kind. There were questions relating
to the colonies and to the law of user which were ex-
tremely important. Tho Bill made an alteration in the
very office of the Lord Chancellor himself ; and he be-
lieved that the Noble Lord had not been consulted on
the subject.—[The LORD CHANCELLOR---" I have not." j
Then there was an end to the whole thing. There
were these important alterations, and the Lord Chan-
cellor had not been apprised of them. Inconvenience,
ho admitted, might arise from postponing this Bill ;
yet, having passed a measure for the temporary protec-
tion of the persons exhibiting at the Crystal Palace,
that inconvenience would not be so much felt as other-
wise. Ho thought that the amendments should not be
agreed to.--(llear, hear.)
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, though he
believed that the amendments would be found upon
the whole to be expedient, yet ho admitted that they
were of such a nature as to deserve the consideration
of the House, and it might be better, therefore, to
withdraw the motion.
The Earl of MINTO would not press his motion.
Lord MONTEAGLE then moved that the amend-
ments be taken into consideration this day mouth.
The motion was agreed to.
sT. ALBA N'S CONIMISSION BRIBERY BILL.
Lord BEAUMONT moved that the Commons' amend-
ments to this Bill be agreed to.
Lord REDESDALE objected to the amendments, on
the ground that no notice had been given of the inten-
tion to move them.

Earl GREY thought that their Lordships might safely
adopt the amendments to this Bill. In the case of the
Patent Law Amendment Bill they had all felt that the
amendments were such as could scarcely be acceded to,
but in this instance the amendments involved no new
principle whatever, and he considered that it would be
desirable to adopt them.
Earl GREY supported the amendments, which were
then agreed to.
The Earl of KINGSTON moved for all affidavits
made in the Encumbered Estates Court in Dublin in the
matter of the sale of the estates of the Earl of Kingston
in the counties of Cork, Limerick, and Tipperary, with
reference to the value of the said estates and the quali-
fications of Air. Collins as a land surveyor and valuator,
The Marquis of LarTspowNE said the affidivrita
