CAPiTATIONGD:AIiT

Mr. CARDWELL, iu roply to Mr. Simonds, tai.' the
capitation grant was now iu curse of payment, and all
corps applying would rec Jive it. The can% of the
non-delivery of the new atnnuinitiou was that it.

THE TELEGRAPHS BILL.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, in
repls to Mr. Hunt, that very gieat progress had
been made in the arbitration with the telegraph
companies and the railway companies, but until the nego-
tiations were co:npleted it would be premature for him to
make any announcement as t) the intentions of the Go-
vernment on the subject.
ASSESSED RATES BILL.

Mr. GOSCIIEN moved the second reading of this bill,
the object of which was to revive the system of compound-
ing between landlord and tenant for the payment of
rates, and to sanction owners of property en
tering into an arrangement with the overseers
for the payment of the rates. The bill further
set out that the owner might be allowed not only to pay
the rates but to make himself personally liable for the
same, so that the rate collector could go to him direct in
the first instance. Tim right honourable gentleman
said ho did not think it was just to mike
weekly tenants liable for rates longer than
term of occupancy, and that he !toped the house would
assent to the bill, and thus protect the newly-euiranchised
voter iu the exercise of the privilege conferred upon him
by the Reform Bill.
Mr. CORRANGE moved, as an amendment, that the
bill be read a second time that day six months, but the
hon. gentleman did not get a seconder for his motion.
Mr. lII.BBERT suppor'ed the bill.
The bill ivaE, after some further remarks, read a second
time.

The adjourned debate on the second reading of the Me-
tropolitan Poor Act (1861) Amendment Bill was resumed
by Mr. M. TOIIRENS in a speech full of interesting points,
accompanied by ample and reliable quotations.
After a few words from Mr. D. DALRYMPLE and Mr.
GOSCREN, the house divided, when the bill was read a
secor.d time by 118 to 15 votes.

On the order of the day for considering the Municipal
Franchise Bill, Mr. JACOB BRIGHT moved the intro-
duction of words importing the masculine gender to in-
clude females, and after some discussion it was agreed to.
The other business was rapidly disposed of, and the
"Louse adjourned.
