HOUSE OF LORDS-LAST EVENING.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool
at five o'clock.

THE ROYAL ASSENT.

The Royal Assent was givon to the following bills

--- - -
The Recorder's Deputies, Poor Relief (Ireland), Beer-
houses, dc., Park Gate Marriages, Sea Fisheries Act,
Piers and Harbours, Oyster and Mnssel Fisheries, and
Orders Confirmation Bill.
SCHOOL OF MUSKETRY.

Lord KENNAIRD moved for a report of the sanitiry
state of the school of musketry school at Hythe. lie be-
lieved the preset.t condition of the place was far from
satisfactory, in consequence of a large dit,:h, origiNaly
constructed for purposes of defence, being now in a stag-
nant and objectionable state.
Lord NORTHBROOKE said there would be no objec-
tion to tho production of the paper.
THE IRISH CHURCH.

On Earl GRANVILLE moving the third reading of
the Irish Church Bill,
The Earl of CLANCARTY said it was with the greatest
regret he felt it his duty to interefere to prevent, if
possible, the passing of a bill which would be fraught
with the most fatal consequences. The measure had al-
ready given place to much party strife, but that would be
nothing to what might be expected if the bill ever became
law. He thought that to ask her Majesty to give her
assent to a bill to disestablish the Church in Ire-
land would be, in fact, asking her to do that
which she before God and all the assembled nation were
sworn not to do so. He looked upon the bill as a direct
and complete innovation of the Coronation Oath, and be-
fore the bill passed its third reading it was most important
that some authentic statement should be given to the
country why it was necessary to call upon her Majesty
to do that which must be most repugnant.
After seine discussion, Lord Olancarty's motion was
withdrawn.

The house then proceeded to consider th• 3 Earl of De-
von's amendment, to reverse a previous decision of the
house, by which the Irish bishops were qualified for the
rest of their lives to retain their seats in the house.

On a division, the title of the bishops to retain their
seats was cancelled by a vote of 108 to 82.
The whole question of concurrent endowment was next
raised by a motion of Earl STANHOPE to give resi-
dences and glebes to Roman Catholic and Presbyterian
ministers on the same terms as to tho Episcopalian
clergp.

Earl GRANVILLE protested emphatically against the
amendment.

After a few words from the Earl of DENBIGH, who
accepted the amendment, the house divided, and adopted
the motion-by 121 contents to 111 not-contents.
The other changes made in the bill were of no mate-
rial importance, and with only- a few feeble cries of
"Not-content," the bill was allowed to pass the third
reading.

The house adjourned at a quarter to 12 o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
THE POLICE FORCE.

Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Mr. Sheridan, said that some
of the police engaged in the Houses of Parliament received
an extra shilling a day, their duties being of a very respon-
sible nature. Thero were 37 officers engaged, 15 of which
received the extra shilling, but the cost of the police for
watching the house of Parliament was far in excess of
that allowed by the house for duty, so that the remainder
had to 13,) paid out of the ordinary police rate. The
amount allowed was £429, but the actual cost was £3,534,
leaving £3,000 to be taken from the poor rate. The men
when unfit through illness for duty were in exactly the
same position as other members of the force.
THE ACCIDENT AT CARNAHNON.

Mr. BRUCE said the lamentable accident at Carnarvon,
cruised by nitro-glycerine, showed that some additional
precaution was urgently necessary, and without it could
be carried into effecttho carriage of nitro-glycerine ought
to to altogether abolished.
THE SUEZ CANAL,

Mr. OTWAY, in reply to Mr. Gourley, said the 6th
article of the Convention for ;;►o cunstr►r:tioa of the Suez
Canal was still in force; by it equal privileges were
givtii to all nations.
Tllll.l RIOTS AT PORTADOWN.

Mr. C. FOUTESCUC, iu reply to Sir T. niteson, said
that Mr. .Noonan had been a sub-inspector of police for
two years, and was an °nicer of ability and discretion. It
was certainly nit the intention to remove that officer to
ally other part of the ccuncy during the time the hiquity
at Portadown remain, d op n.
