HOi ISE OF LORDS.—THIS EVENING.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

LIFE PEERAGES BILL.
Earl RUSSELL moved the third reading of this bill.
The Earl of MALMESBUR 17 opposed the motion, and
moved that it be real a third time that day three mouths.
The object of the noble earl in introducing the mea•
sure was high and worthy, but he thought the
House of Lords did not require any increase
of poweror prestige in the country. The composition of
the house was now as varied as was necessary, as in addi-
tion to landowners they had amongst them b.iukers, rail-
way directors, and upwards of fifty peers who had boeu
distinguished members of the House of Commons, the
military, naval, and legal professions, diplomatists, his-
torians, and writers both of prose and poetry. Such
being the case, he did not think there was any reason for
altering the fundamental principles of the Constitution—
namely, that peers should be hereditary. He denied that
the creation of life peers would popularise the House of
Lords, and he was supported in that opinion by the autho-
rity of Mr. Bright, who was generally supposed id
represent the popular view, as he looked upon the mea-
sure as simply a childish tinkering with legidation.
Lord LvVDEN opposed, and Earl STANIIOPE supported
the b:11.

Earl GRAN VILLE thought the motion for thn
reading a stage at which to discuss the merits or dometi.a
of the bill. He thought there had hitherto been a con-
currence in favour of the bill, and after the c nnprotu;sl,
had been made in committee, her Majesty's Governtnent
had felt it right to give the in,ttsure its su;.port, which it
would extend to it it went down to the other House of
Parliament.
Lord CAIRNS said ho on a former occasion reserved
to himself and those who sat around bin, full liberty to take which course they pleased on the third reading. Rd
had from the beginning looked upon the bill as contain-
ing a dangerous principle ; there was no way of securing
that its provisions could be fully carried into effect. Un-
der all circumstances, he should give his vote against the
third reading, because ii it went to the House of Commoua
it could not be fully discussed there at the very late period
at which it would be taken into consideration. _
