DEATH OF AN OLD M.P.

The death is announced of Mr. Henry Bingham
Baring at Nice. Mr. Baring sat for Callington
in the Parliament of 1831. In 1832 he
was elected for Marlborough, and continued
to represent that borough until the dissolu-
tion of 1868. a period of thirty-six years.
Under the late Reform Bill, Marlborough lost one
Of its members, and this was reserved by the Marquis
of Ailesbury, the lord paramount, for his own family,
Mr. Baring did not offer himself for any
other constituency, and was, therefore, not in Parlia-
Ment at the time of his death. He was a Liberal-
Conservative, and a Lord of the Treasury in Sir
Robert Peel's Administration. His first wife was
the sister of the late 'Earl of Cardigan, and through
her he was connected with the Marquis of Ailesbury.
Mr. Baring was born in 1804.

IMPERIAL PABLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS.—LAST EVENING.
The LOUD CHANcELLon took his scat on the woolsac,c
st five o'clock.

Their lordships were engaged the whole of the earl,'
part of the evening in discussing the merits of the Life
Peerages Bill.
The Earl of DERBY thought the hill involved certain
important provisions, which would require to be duly con-
sidered. He did not object to the princ!plo of the bill.
Alto- some discussion the second reading was agreed t°'
The second reading of the Representative Peers for
Scotland and Ireland Bill having been moved by Lord
GREY,
The Duke of BUCCLEITCH proposed as an amendment
the appointment of a sel&ct committee t:consider the
status of the representative peerage and the laws relating
to it, which, after some discussion, was agreed to.

The Militia Bill was read a second time.
Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—LAST EVENING•
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
THE IMPERIAL GAS

The consideration of this bill was postponed until to-
morrow in order to allow time to members to consider tho
effect of the clauses proposed to be introduced by 31r;
Locke with respect to the appointment of profession'
auditors.

SCHOOLMASTERS IN IRELAND.
Mr. C. FORTESCUE said it was not the intention of
the Government to propose any revision of the'sale °f
salaries of schoolmasters in Ireland. The subject, how-
ever, was an important one, and would be fully con"
sidered.

DISEASED SHEEP.
Mr. C. FOSTER, in reply to Mr. Corran, said it was tale
that on the arrival of a cargo of sheep from Hamburgh the
custom-house officers found that some of the animals were
diseased, and they were at ono: killed, and steps
were at
once taken to disinfect both the ship and the wharf. o°ll
a few, however, of the sheep comprising the unrg°,
were found in a diseased state, and a doubt
arose as to whether the disease was sheep'
pox, or another disease not of so fatal a character,
but it was thought that if any doubt existed it vie°
best to err on the side of precaution, so the sheep were
killed, although he (Mr. Forster) believed the disease 1.09
not what it was supposed to be. With respect to another
cargo arriving from Antwerp, comprising 1,800 sheep,
only five were found to be diseased, and these five nal/
from a portion -of the cargo, viz., 219 shipped
by one of the parties sending the animals to 14°'
don. The whole of that portion of the WO,
was, however, killed, and in another cargo coral"
from Hamburgh only four out of 351 sheep were foundWd
be suffering from disease, yet all were killed. Lor,
Defrey had the whole of the circumstances fully cone,'
dered, and it was not thought necessary to re-enact the
order with respect to the slaughtering sheep on their ar-
rival from any foreign countries. The effect of re-enact-
ing the order would most materially affect the consular;
of mutton in this country, as a very large per tentage
the mutton consumed was. foreign. He thought it would
be a great hardship to the metropolis to re-enact the order,
the more so as it had been proved that sheep-pox -could `1",
quickly and efficiently crushed out without the necessity
for such extreme measures as were required to stop the
cattle plague. With respect to the question as to whether
the Government were aware that sheep-pox prevailed 08;
tensively at Holstein, be bad to say that he had receive.e,
information from Antwerp that sheep-pox did not prevall
in Belgium ; from Rotterdam information had been recet°
that the disease did not prevail either in South Holland °r
Zealand ; and from Hamburg it was stated that no ease °f
such disease had been reported in Holstein.

EMIGRANTS 10 CANADA.
with
Mr. MONSELL, in reply to Mr. Kinnaird, said,
respect to the emigrants who had formerly been in the
employ of the Royal Dockyards and ordnance factorie
that on their arrival in Quebec the Governor-General 114'
ordered that the utmost assistance and facilities should
be
'given them. The Government of Ontario had- offeredthem land, and he believed other matters would be done
which would be highly advantageous to them.
THE NEW LAW COURTS.
Mr. LAYARD, in reply to the question of Mr. GregorYl
as to whether the Government had decided finally on die
site for the new law courts, suggested by tie
ithancellor of the Exchequer in his speech 'on tie
20th hist., said the Government had finally decide'
to apply to Parliament to acquire the site mentioned II
his right lion. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The site required was bdtween Somerset-house and the
Temple, at the end of Howard-street. It consisteil of sici
acres of ground, and Mr. Street, the architect; had state,
that it was quite possible to erect the whole of the courts
and offices on that site. The Govornment intended tt
apply for a bill to acquire that site, and on tbs
occasion he should be able to show that it possessed gret',t
advantages over every other site which had been piepon
(Laughter.) There was another advantage to be attained
with such a proposal, as the whole building could b°
erected at the cost mentioned by the hon. gentleman (31r.
Gregory), viz., £l,6oo,ooo—(hear, hear)—which was a verid
great advantage compared with the costly scheme which 11,°'
been advocated in the house by the supporters of the Carei
street site. had received a communication from ell'et
Baron Sir Fitzroy Kelly on the subject, and he said tint
all the judges were unanimously in favour of the new site,
and that it was their opinion that it would be for the COr
venience of the bench, the bar, the solicitors, the
and the public that the proposed change of site show
take place. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. HUNT wished to know whether the neeesstirl
notices had been given to the owners of property. .0
Mr.LAYARD said when he applied for leave tobring
the bill, which he hoped to do before Whitsuntide,he w°ll
enter at length into all the details of the matter. • be
An HON. MEMBER wanted to know what was to
done with the Carey-street site.
,rone
Mr. LAYARD must ask hon. members to postr-,0
their enquiries until he applied for leave to introduce I'
bill.

THE COVICT WILTSHIRE. for
Mr. BRUCE had to apologise to the hon. member
„s
Wiltshire for not answering the whole of his questi°;
the other evening. He had asked whether Charles
shire was the same person who had attempted to ultiru,.et
one of the warders in Gloucester Gaol. He believed t';s
one of the warders whose duty it was to watch Wiltshire
after
et
after the conviction fell asleep, and the CO'uribe
seized that opportunity to make a violent attack on s
man, but on the arrival of the night watchman he sae
quite calm. He hoped the hon. member would feel tbera
was a great difference between an attempt to murder AT3„
a violent assault. The circumstances, however, had bee;
fully considered, when the fate of the convict was decide".
The Beerhouses, &e.,!8i1l was read a second time.
Several measures were advanced a stage, and the 11°11'4
fi
adjourned.
