ENDOWED SCHOOLS BILL.

Earl DE GREY gave notice that ho should take the
sopond rpading of this Ulll uu Muudit.y .nort.
BEERROUSES BILL.

On the motion of the Marquis of SALISBURY, this
bill passed, and was reported with a few verbal amend-
ments.

THE POJR IN ENGLAND AND WALES.

The Marquis of TOWNSHEND moved an humble ad-
dress to her Majesty, praying for the issue of a Royal
commission to inquire into the operation and administra-
tion of the laws for the relief of the poor in England and
Wales.

Earl GRANVILLE said there had been frequent in-
quiries into the operation of the poor laws, and under all
the circumstances it would be unnecessary to issue such a

commission.

THE APPLAUSE IN THE STRANGERS GALLERY.
Lord ROMILLY called attention to the demonstration
of applause which took place in the Strangers Gallery
during the late debate on the Irish Church Bill.
He said it was a subject that called for immediate atten-
tion, and if disregarded might lead to the most unpleasant
consequences. He thought it highly important that some
steps should be taken to stop the expression of opinion,
as it was most important nothing should be dono to
overawe the debates in that house. He thought it
would be very easy to stop the demonstrations of ap-
plause by the instant removal of the persons making it,
but without pro:ceding to that step at first he would sug-
gest that au intimation be affixed iu the gallery, stating
that such demonstrations of opinion wero not allowed.
Earl GRANVILLE said it was improper that such de-
monstrations should take place, and ho thought it would be
desirable that the doorkeepers and others should do all
in their power to check them in every way that was pos-
sible.

Lord CAIRNS agreed that that the practice was ex-
tremely improper, but probably it arose from the exube-
rant John Bnllism of those present. (Laughter.)
The Marquis of SALISBURY' said he desired to say a
word for those at the other side of the bar. He was afraid
there was morn conversation carried on in the house
amogst the Peers present than amongst the strangers.

(Laughter.)
It Lavitig been suggested that some additional power
should be given to thi Lord Chancellor, the subject.

druyped.
The Huns.: then wijourned.

HOUSE OF COMNIONS.—LAsT EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 2 o'clock.
THE BANKRUPTCY BILL.

The house again went into committee on this bill, and
proceeded to consider the amendments propos d to the
clauses. The discussion was dull and uninteresting dur-
ing the early part of the day.
The principal point token into discuss!ou was payment
of the costs of the sheriff, after a levying made by trim, and
ho had been displaced by the Bankruptcy Court. It was
proposed that he should to paid by the official asiguee
nut of the costs of the estate, but the proposal was nega-
tived.

The committee continued its deliberatien up to the
hour at which the sitting was suspended.
On resuming at nine o'clock,
Mr. RYLANDS moved that it was expedient that any
measure for the general amendment of the laws for licens-
ing public-houses. beer-houses. and hoUSeS
should include the prohibition of the sale of liquors on
Sunday.
Mr. T. COLLINS seconded the motion.
Mr. LOCKE was opposed to the bill, and in the course
of a very humorous speech, which provoked much mirth,
he commented on the fact that he had seen the mover of
this resolution in the dining-room of the house " much
the better for liquor." Why then should he try to de-
prive his poor and industrious neighbour of his humbler
drink ?

The motion, after a few words from Mr. HIBBERT, was
then withdrawn.
Mr. GLADSTONE moved for and obtained a select
committee to inquire into the site and charge of the New
Courts of Law ; rnd explained the reasons which had in-
duced the Government to prefer the Thames Embankment
to the Carey-street site.

The remaining orders of the day were formally disposed
of, and the house adjourned.
