COMMUNICATION WITH IRELAND,

Lord CLANRICARDE begged to a.k the noble dui*
what steps were being taken to improve and facilitate
the oommunis btion between London and Dublin?
The Duke of ARGYLL stated that propositions had
been made to the united railway and steamboat com-
panies, and a letter had been received by the Govern-
ment from the proprietors, with the conditions for the
performance of the service, and the money required.
That letter had been referred to
.the Post office authori-
ties, and was now under consideration. He had before
stated the conditions required by the Post-office to be
fulfilled, namely, that the -journey should be
performed in eleven hours, and that the
departure of the mail should not take place later than
half-past seven in the morning. He did not think there
wax anything extraordinary in the conditions, as Capt.
Finish of the North-Western Railway had stated some
time ago that the journey could he performed in the
time mentiobed. He could only assure the noble earl
that at present the subject was receiving the utmost con-
sideration, with a view of bringing the negotiation to a
successful termination.

DULWICH COLLEGE BILL.
The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second read-
ing of this bill. It was another of the bills founded on
the recommendation of the Charity Commissioners. He
wished the bill to pass this evening with the understand.
ing that it should be referred to a select committee.
FACTORY BILL.
Oa the motion of Lord DERBY, this bill was read a
third time and passed.

POLICE DILL.

On the motion that this bill be read a third time,
Lord ELLENBOROUGLI complained that this bill
was not to come into operation until December. Such
a circumstance, he considered, would involve a loss
of time. It was his opinion that it would be desirable
to appoint a chief constable before December, and that it
would be wise to introduce a clause in the bill calling upon
the magistrates of the several counties to meet in Octo-
ber next for the purpose of electing a chief constable,
Lord PANMURE said he would not object to the
introduction of a clause to the effect stated by the noble
earl into the bill.

The bill was then read a third time.
OATH OF ABJURATION BILL.

Their lordships then went into committee on this bill.
Lord LYNDHURST rose and proceeded to criticise
the present bill. The measure, he contended, was the
old act, from which certain passages bad been erases,
and to attempt to meet the requirements of the present
time by such a proceeding was absurd.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Evening.)
The Spires= took the chair at the uimal
PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The St. Sepulchre's Manor (Dublin) Bill was read a
third time and passed.
The Perth Burgh and Harbour (No. 2) Bill was read
a second time.

INDIA.
Mr. BUTT presented a petition from Meer Ali Morad,
Ameer of Rhyrpore, in Seinde, complaining of the un-
just seizure of his territories by the authorities of the
Indian Government.

TAX COL GEC roßs.
Mr. HANK EY moved for a return of the names of
persons employed in the assessment and collection of in.
come tax and land and assessed taxes, in the City of
London, during the year ending the sth day of April,
1856 ; the capacity in which employed, rate of poundage,
amount of salaries or allowances received, and whether
employed in other duties or not ; and of the total amount
of income tax, land tax, and assessed taxes in the same
period.—Ordered.

OUR RELATION'S WITH AMERICA..
Mr. MOORE said he had given notice some time ago
to bring forward a motion for discussion (1 the Ameri-
can question, but he had postponed bringing it forward
until the papers bad arrived. Those despatches bad
now been received, and he begged to ask the noble
lord at the head of the Government whether h 5 could
give him a day, or fix some certain period next week
for the discussion.

Lord PAL NI ERSTON said it must not be attributed
to want of courtesy to the hon. gentleman that he did
not accede to his request. It was his opinion that in
the present state of our relations with America, it was
not desirable that any discussion should take place—
(hear, hear)—neither would it be conducive to a settle-
ment of the question. That opinion was stirred by gen-
tlemen who usually opposed her Majesty's Government
and other parties; and therefore he thought it was right
that no discussion of the subject should take place. In
tbat ewe and on the part of her Majesty's Government
he could not fix any day for such purpose, because by
doing so it would be indirectly saying that Government
acceded to the discussion of the question. Under these
circumstances the hon. gentleman must exercise the pri-
vileges he possessed as an independent member, and
avail himself of the first opportunity that presented it•
self if it was his intention to proceed with his motion.
MAINTENANCE OF JUVENILE OFFENDERS.
Mr. A. SMITH asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department if he had any objection to state the
amount which he was prepared to allow for the support
of juvenile criminals in certified reformatories before
the 30th day of June, on which day the Quarter Ses-
sions will assemble ?

Sir G. GREY said he hoped soon to make a recom-
mendation to the Treasury relative to the s ipport of
juvenile offenders in certified reformatories. At present
he was unable to state the amount.
EDUCATION FOR THE ROYAL ACADEMY
AT WOOLWICH AND SANDHURST.
Col. BUCK asked the Under Secretary for War where
distinct and official information was to be procured as to
what amount of education was requisite for admission
into the Royal Academy at Woolwich, for admission
into Sandhurst, or fur admission into the Royal Artillery
service?

Mr. PEEL said the required information for Sand-
hurst College was to be obtained from the Adjutant-
General thEr,-, and the Governor of the College ; for the
Royal Academy, at Woolwich, at the War-office, Pall-
mall.

THE CRIMEAN TROOPS.
Mr. NOEL asked the First Lord of the Treasury,
whether, as an early day would be fixed for the entry of the
Guards into London, her Majesty's Government would
consider the propriety of bringing up other regiments
who have arrived from the Crimea on that occasion, so
that an opportunity might be affarded to the inhabi-
tants of this metropolis of welcoming portions of artil-
lery, cavalry, and infantry of the line also, and of testi-
fying the sense they entertain of the services rendered
equally by the whole army during the late war.
Lord PALMERSTON said her Majesty, nor those
wbo advised her, had no intention of drawing a
distinction between the Guar is and the other troops
that bad served in the East, by naming a day for the
entry of the Guards into London. Everything bad been
done by other branches of the army during the late war
that bravery could accomplish, and the only reason for
the Guards coming to London, any more than other
regiments, was because it was the Guards who
did garrison duty in the metropolis, and those
brave men who were returning were to return to
their duties and their quarters in the metropolis. (Hear,
hear.) It would be impossible to find accommodation
for the other troops in the metropolis, nor a place to re-
view them ; but as they were to repair to Aldershot.
where her Majesty would review them, the pe .ple of
London, by the proximity of the camp to the metropolis,
and the great facilities of reaching it, would
have an opportunity of testifying their admiration
of the valour, bravery, courage, and self-denial dis-
played by those troops during the late war. (Hear,
hear.) It was not right to say that the welcome to the
Guards to London would be an invidious distinction,
because her Majesty had visited and we'c maed almost
every branch of the army that had returned to this
country and were stationed within a certain distance
from her Majesty's residence. (Hear, hear.)
LEGION OF HONOUR.
Mr. H. BARING asked the Under Secretary for War
why the Legion of Honour has not been distributed to
those officers of the Crimean Army who had long since
been selected by General Codrington for that decor-
' ation

Mr. F. PEEL said a list of the names of the oEcers
and men had been forwarded to the French Government.

In answer to a question from an Hon. Member,
Lord PALMERSTON said he was unable to name
an early day for the second reading of the bill. It it as
an important measure, the result of a compromise, and
was introduced under the /sanction and authority of her
Majesty's Government.

Mr. DISRAELI protested against this bill being
considered as the result of a compromise. It was a
constitutional measure, which the Government ought to
introduce and support as such, and not upon anything
that bad occurred " behind the scenes."

Lerd PALMERSTON explained. The bill was a
Government measure, and so far from his having given
any information of what had occurred "behind the
scenes," he had only stated what had appeared on the
stage, and been acted up to the foot-lights. (Laughter )
He alluded to the nature of the diecussion on this ques-
tion in the House of Lords.

Sir J. GRAHAM addressed the house in support
of a change in the appellate jurisdiction of
the House of Lords, and urged on the Govern-
ment the necessity of the bill now before
the home being read a second time on an early day that
it may pass this session, He suggested an alteration in
the standing orders with reference to entertaining pe•
cuniary claims from India, and also that relative to ad-
dresses to the Crown.

Mr. V. SMITH supported the suggestion with re
ference to India.
CHURCH-RATES ABOLITION BILL.

Sir W. CLAY inquired of the First Lord of the Trea-
sury whether it was the intention of the Government to
afford facilities for proceeding with the further stages
of the Church-Rags Abolition Bill.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, on the
part of the Government, said that it was the intention
of the Government to press on several important bills
as speedily as possible ; and under these circumstances
it would be impossible for the Government to name a
day on which the Church Rates Abolition Bill could be
brought on. The right hon. baronet laboured under a
mistake in believing the bill had been adopted by
the Government. The Government intended to intro.
duce clauses in the bill at the proper stage, but that
stage had not yet arrived. (Laughter.)
Sir W. CLAY said that on the explanation given by
the government he should abandon the bill.
