IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(This EVENING.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat off the woolsack
it five o'clock.

SUNDAY TRADING BILL.

The LORD CIIANCELLOR presented six petitions
in favour of this bill.

THE DIVORCE COURT.

Lord LYNDHURST called the attention of the
noble and learned lord on the woolsack to the
arrears of business in the Divorce Court. He said that
was not owing to any incapacity on the part of the learned
judge who presided, but was occasioned chiefly by
the very limited time the common law judges could de-
vote to the formation of full courts. The attendance of the
common law judges was, as the act of Parliament now
stood, absolutely necessary before any final judg-
ment dissolving marriage could be pronounced.
He thought it was highly desirable that some alteration
should be made enabling the Judge Ordinary to pronounce
final judgments, unless he wished certain cases reserved for
the consideration of the full court.
The LORD CHANCELLOR concurred in the observa-
tions of the noble a
Id l
EeaArneNd lord.
NCD SAVOY.

The Earl of CARNARVON wished to recall, for a few
minutes, the recent discussion that had taken place in that
house on Friday. He complained of the Duke of New-
castle's observations upon him in putting the question ho
considered it his duty to do on that evening. It was very
far from his wish, if it was inconvenient for the noble duke
to reply to his question, but he should very much like to
know whether the noble duke could now do so.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE said ho thought the noble
marquis was under some mistake with respect to what the
noble lord the Secretary of Foreign Affairs had stated with
respect to M. Thouvenel's despatch. The noble lord did
not say he would lay it on the table with his answer at the
earliest opportunity. What the noble lord did say was that
as soon as he was enabled to frame an answer, and her
Majesty had signified her approval of it, then it with the
despatch would be laid on the table of the house.
THE NEW TREATY.
The Earl of ST. GERMANS brought up her Majesty's
reply to the addresses voted by both llouses of Parliament.
The royal answer thanked their lordships for the address.

ARMY COMMISSIONS.
Lord PA.NMITRE gave notice that on the Mutiny Act
coming before them he should call attention to the sale of
army commissions.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The following bills were read a third time and passed :
The Edinburgh Railway Station Access; Blackburn Gas;
and West Middlesex Water.
THE BALLOT.
Lord TEYNHAM, having presented a number of peti-
tions in favour of vote by ballot, proceeded to move a re-
solution, to the effect that it was expedient in the elec-
tion of members to serve in Parliament that the votes
of the electors should be taken by secret ballot. The noble
lord said, in moving his resolution, he felt that the subject
was well worthy of the most attentive consideration of their
lordships, especially as it was year by year brought before
the other House of Parliament, and the effect of a discus-
sion in their lordship's house would most likely tend
to put many of the opponents of the ballot right,
and tend to convert the minority of that house into
a majority. It had been said why discuss the question of
the ballot in that house, but he found in 1G93, in the 6th of
William and Mary, an order of the House of Peers, calling
upon theni to give their attendance to consider the ballot.
It might be that that notice related to the transaction Of
private business, but if such was the case it showed that
the ballot had boen considered good for one purpose, and
he contended that it ought to be tried on a more extensive
scale.
