REFORM OF THE CORPORATION OF
LONDON.
Lord J. RUSSELL presented a petition, signed by
4,000 inhabitants of the city of London, in reference to
the bill for the reform of the corporation of London.
The petitioners stated that they attached the
greatest value to the municipal institutions, and
they also remarked that some years ago this
house legislated upon the subjset, but that
the City of London was excluded from that reform.
The petitioners expressed themselves in favour of the
abolition of street dries, and they also approved of the
removal of the coal duties, but they thought that
the Lord Mayor should be elected by the
general body of the constituents of the City of London
rather than by the Common Council. Tney, however,
approved generally of the bill at present before Parlia-
ment, and they expressed a hope that it might speedily
pass into law.
Mr. DISRAELI presented a petition from the City
of London against the bill for the bettsr regulation of
the Corporation of London. The hon. gentleman
moved that the petition be read at length by the clerk
at the table.
The motion was agreed to, and the petition was read.

THE GUARDS' MEMORIAL.
In reply to Major SIBTHOIIP,
Mr. F. PEEL said a reply had been made to the
Guards' Memorial by the War Department, but it was
such that the warrant of 1854 remained the same as if
the memorial had never existed. He objected to the
production of the reply.
ST. PANCRAS WORKHOUSE.
Sir J. PAKINGTON asked the President of the Poor
Law Board whether any progress had yet been made in
the correction of the great evils which have arisen from
the crowded state and defective accommodation of the
St. Pancras Workhouse; and, if not, whether be intended
to
take any steps to require and enforce the necessary
improvereeetii!
• Mr. BOUVERIE said it would be in the recollection
of the house that, some time
with respect tithe 'lle ago, he made a statement
coarse that was intended to be pur-
sued in regard to this workhous On the 4th of
24th of the sinams
March aie inspector was directed to • t the
workhouse, and on the
Pe" month
that gentleman made a report,
stating that
_no material improvement had taken place in the k
house. A correspondence then ensuedwee •
between the
Commissioners of the Poor and the Poor Law Board,
was that a further term of
two
the result- of which
months was allowed. That time would expire in July,
but in the course of the summer he inticipated
that a great improvement would take place, as
there seemed to be the greatest de-ire on the part of the
new commissioners to carry out the necessary measures.
Sir J. PAKINGTON said be presumed there was no
want of power over the workhouse authorities.
Mr. BOUVERIE said there was no power to compel
a reduction of the inmates, for other purposes the law
was sufficient.
Mr. KENNEDY asked the Attorney-General for
Ireland whether it was the intention of Government to
take any 'steps for providing an increase of salary for
the clerks of Nisi Prius in Dublin,eu consequence of the
increased duties and expenses imposed on them—first,
by the establishment of the " Consolidated Nisi Prius
Court" in Dublin ; and secondly, by the act called " the
Cornwell Law Proceeure Act ?"
