HOUSE OF LORDS--(This Evening.)

The LORD CHANOELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
At 5 o'cl(ick.

Lord CAMPBELL stated that he had received a
number of petitions respec:ing Church rates, but as the
bill was in progress in the other house, the rule of their
lordships prevented bin presenting those petitions until
the bill was brought up. Personally, he hoped the bill
would never be hrought up.
Lord ELLENBOROuGa presented a petition, com-
plaining of the evils that bad arisen since the union of
the sees of Gloucester %act Bristol.
THE OATH OF ABJURATION.

The Eirl of DERBY laid on the table a
bill to amend the oath of abjuration taken by
members of Parliament by omitting all words relatiug to
the Pretender. It was only in the event of the bill which
stands for a second readin ' on Monday next being
rejected that he should press forward his bill.
The bill wise read a first time.
FACTORIES BILL.
-

The Earl of DERBY moved the second reading of
this bill. The oi j-tct of the bill was to relieve the ma-
nufacturers from the construction that had been put
upon the act passed in the year 1844. It imposed cer-
tain restrictions upon manufacturers in respect to the
fencing of mill gearing which it was impossible to
carry out. The present bill provided for the security of
the operatives, and would relieve the manufacturers from
those harrassing restrictions which were inconvenient
and unnecessary.

Lord CAMPBELL said the bill met with his entire
approbation. lie thought the present bill would pro-
tect all those who needed protection.
The Earl of SLIAFTESBURY approved of the bill,
but thought there would be great difficulty in carrying it
into effect in the rural districts, lie begged to call the
attention of the noble earl to a certain clause in the bill.
Under the act at present in force any operative injured
by mill gearing could institute proceedings for compen-
sation for such injury at the public expense. By the
measure of the noble earl that power was exceedingly
limited.

After a few words from the Earl of DEBBY, the bill
way real a Recond time.

THE QUEEN'S MESSAGE-THE SARDINIAN

LOAN.

The Earl of CLARENDON rose to move that
the message of her Majesty be taken into cun•
sideration in reference to the Sardinian loan. The noble
lord proceeded to state the terms of the convention which
her Majesty had entered into with the King of Sar
dinia. The spirit of that convention bound the Par-
liament of this country, upon the recommendation of her
Majesty to advance a further loan of 1,000,0001. on pre-
cisely the same terms as those upon A, hich"the preieLt
loan was granted. Th• noble ear: eoncluded by moving
a resolution to carry into effect the terms of the conven-
tion.

The Earl of DERBY gave his cordial concurrence to
the resolution, and expres.ed his warn approval of the
conduct of the Sardinian Government in reference to the
late war. He tbougbt that this country was bound by
every principle of honour and good faith to do every-
thing possible to relieve Sardinia from any embarrass-
ment she may be labouring under.
The resolution was agreed 4,*0 nem. con.
POLICE (BOROUGHS AND COUNTIES) BILL.
On the motion of Lord PANIC:IIE, their lordships went
into committee on this bill.

On clause 1 being read,
Lord DUNGANNON hoped that in the event of the
committee not carrying out the provisions of this bill a
compulsory measure would be brougbb forward by the
Government.

Lord CAMPBELL said the present bill was compul•
sory. With respect to an observation of the noble
lord who bad just sat down, respecting the counties not
obeying the law, he thought they would obey it—they
ought to obey it, and they should obey it. (Laughter.)
The clause waR agreed to.
Clauses down to 13 were agreed to.
