IMPERIAL I

'AIILIAMENT.

HO USE OF I,9IiIS—(YESTERDAY.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

Lord CLYDE was present in the house this evening. His
lordship occupied one of the front seats on the cross
benches.

THE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK.
The Archbishop of YORK took the oaths and his seat on
his elevation to an Archbishopric. The right rev, prelate
was introduced by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the
Bishop of London.

EUROPEAN FORCES (INDIA) BILL.

On the motion tinat this bill be read a first time,

The Earl of RLLE NBOROUGH said he distrusted
this bill altogether, and therefore he most strenuously ob-
jected to it. He had objected to the bill as it applied to
officers, and another of his objections was that he had great
doubts as to whether the bill, as it at present stood, did
not altogether extinguish the local army while it extin-
guished the power by which that army was raised.
It was usual when such extensive alterations were contem-
plated to introduce some proviso declaring all such things
as had been done before the power was extinguished should
hold good. He thought such a precautionary enactment
ought to be introduced into the bill.

The Duke of ARGYLL did not think that the bill had
that effect. Of course, the objection of the noble earl could
be met by an amendment.

After a few words. from the LORD CHANCELLOR, th bill
was read a first tima.

ECCLEF3IASTICAL COMMISSION.
Earl GRANV ILLE moved that, with regard to the
Ecclesiastical Commission Bill, on account of various ques-
tions rela tiny to the management of episcopal estates, and
to the securirlg regular incomes to the bishops, and an in-
cieasingstu-plus to the common fund havinglong been.under
consideration, and the final settlement hitherto delayed,
whereby the proceedings for the enfranchisement of many
churc'a leaseholds have been already protracted to
an extent injurious to those concerned ; and as these
matters are treated and determined in a manner
which has secured general approval, the circumstances
which render legislation on the subject of the said. bill ex-
pedient are of such real urgency as to render the im-
mediate consideration of the same necessary.
The motion was agreed to.
_ _

Earl GRANVILLE then moved the second reading o
the bill.

The Earl of DERBY said as it was thought desirable
that this bill should pass this session he should not oppose
it, but he thought the 11th clause, which affected the vest-
ing of certain property permanently in the hands of the
commissioners, ought at all events to be postponed.
After a few words from several noble lords, the bill was
read a second time.

THE RIFLE VOLUNTEER CORPS BILL.
This bill went through committee.
INDUSTRIAL MUSEUMS (SCOTLAND) BILL.
The amendments to this bill were brought up and agreed
to, and the bill was read a third time.
TENURE AND IMPROVEMENT OF LAND
(IRELAND) BILL.
This bill was read a third time and passed, with some
verbal amendments.

GUNPOWDER, &c., BILL.
