land would be, in fact, asking her to do a

sworn not to do so. He looked upon the bill as a direot

that some authentic statement should be given to the
country why it was necessary to call upon her Majesty

[LEFT SPEAKING.

HOUSE OF COMINIONS.—Thrs DAT.
The SPEAZER took the chair at four o'clock.
THE POLICE FORCE.

Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Mr. Sheridan, said that some
of the police engaged in the Houses of Parliament received
an extra shilling a day, their duties being of a very respon-
sible nature. There were 37 officers engaged, 15 of which
received the extra shilling, but the cost of the police for
watching the house of Parliament was far in excess of
that allowed by the house for duty, so that the remainder
had to be paid out of the ordinary police rate. The
amount allowed was .£429, but the actual cost was .£3,53 1,
leaving £3,000 to be taken from the poor rate. The mon
when unfit through illness for duty were in exactly Vie
same position as other members of the force.
THE ACCIDENT AT CARNARNON.
Mr. BRUCE said the lamentable accident at Carnarvont,
caused by nitro-glycerine, showed that some additional
precaution was urgently necessary, and without it could
be carried into effect the carriage of nitro-glycerine oug!lt
to to altogether abolished.

1 _
THE SUEZ CANAL,
Mr. OTWAY, in reply to Mr. Gourlay, said the 6th
, article of the Convention for the construction of the Suez
1 Canal was still in force; by it equal privileges were
given to all nations.
THE RIOTS AT PORTADOWN.
Mr. C. FORTESCUE, in reply to Sir T. Batoson, said
that Mr. Noonan had been a sub-inspector of police for
two years, and was an officer of ability and discretion. It
was certainly nit the intention to remove that officer to
any other part of the country during the time the inquiry
at Portadown remained open.
THE REGISTRATIONS.
Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Mr. Barclay, said it was i,i-
tended to employ as many revising barristers as last year.
That occasion m as purely exceptional.
THE FRENCH TREATY.
Mr. OTWAY, in reply to Mr. Herman, said no com-
munication had taken place with the French Government
relative to the duty of English cotton manufacture.

SUPPLY.
On the motion for the house going into Committee of
Supply,
Mr. GOLDNEY called the attention of the house to
sums granted for the purchase of the site for the new
public offices, and to the proposed expenditure for a new
Home Office, and asked if there would be any objection to
lay a copy of the plan of the land purchased, and the
amount of the purchase money, upon the table of tl.•
house.

Mr. LAYARD said ho should have no objection to pro-
duce the information required, so far as it was possibl./.
A great part of the information had, however, already
been made public. _
