PEERAGE BILLS.

A Scotch peer writes to the Times on the peerage
bills that have just been placed on the table of the
House of Lords. Ho disapproves the proposal
that selections for life-peerages should be made
from the hereditary peers of Scotland and Ireland.
He does not believe that there is a single Scotch peer
who would consent to the arrangement, unless all the
representative peers were equally made life represen-
tatives. He declares that to make the House
fairly represent the peerages of the three
countries, the English peers should equally with
the Scotch and the Irish hate only a certain number
of representatives in it. Ile concludes by shelving
that if all the Scotch peers were admitted the num-
bers of the House would only be increased by twenty,
or sixteen if the Irish bishops are to lose their seats.
