Mr. CARD WEII-71SiedtheTd:r-Secretary of State
for the Coloni4,s Wilt:l3er it wee the intention of her Ma-
jesty's Government to introduce in the pre.t7eut session
any measure on the subject of colonial bishops, or of
clerz,ymee ordainet by ciloaial bishops?

vernment to brine. in a bill for th-t purpose.

OF LUXEMBURG.
Mr. LABOUCHERE asked the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs whether, in the event Of her Majesty's
Government considering it advisable to join in any
European guarantee with regard to the neutrality or the
future political position of the Grand Duchy of Luxem-
burg, before the country was committed to tiny such
guarantee the nature of the obligations in which it may
involve us would be explained, and this house be given an
opportunity to express an opinion upon the expediency of
undertaking them.
Lord STANLEY said the best answer he could give
was to state that the Conference hold its second sitting
that morning, and although it was not the usage to make
known the proceedings of such meetings, yet he might
say substantially that an arrangement had been come to
that left ilittle but formalities to bo transacted.; and he
hoped that the opinion he expressed about 10 days ago,
that the Luxemburg question was in a fair way of settle-
ment, would prove correct. In that hope he was very
sanguine, and he felt he might say that practically
that at that moment matters had been satisfactorily settled.
He had to congratulate the house and the country on the
Jesuit of the Conference, and he had to state that it was to
the moderation which animated all parties that the calamity
of an European war, which a fortnight ago seemed immi-
nent, had been averted. (Loud cheers.) With regard to
the question of guarantee England was one of the parties
to the treaty of 183 D, which guaranteed the Duchy to
the King of Holland, and all that was to be
done in conference was not to narrow the arrangements
then made, but to ad.tpt theta to the altered state of the
Duchy in consequence of the dissolution of the Germanic
Confederation. In a few days, if all went ou as he anti-
cipated, he slionld be able to produce the whole of the
papers connected with the subject. (Cheers.)
TfIE REFORM .BILL.
Mr. GLADSTONE asked the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, under the law as it will stand, if the present propo-
sals of the Government should be adopted, would the
compound householder at and above. £lO be enabled to
come and continua upon the register without ceasing to
be a compound householder. In the event of his
paying,. in pursuance of his claim, any " rate due in
respect of the premises, would he be entitled to deduct the
sum so paid from the rent payable by him to his landlord ?
What is the meaning of the words (in No. 4 of the pro-
posed amendment to clause 34) "rate due in respect of the
pre,tnises;" and, in a case where the owner had already
paid the composition rate, with the occupier claiming
to be enfranchised be liable to pay the difference
between the composition rate and the full rate? And
whether by the terms of the third clause, requiring that
the person to be registered shall have been an inhabitant
occupier fur twelve months, it was intended to require
that he should have resided during that period ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, said there
was some absurdity about the first question, but he would
say that there was no iutention to deprive compound house-
holders of any of the privileges they at that moment
possessed under the act 14 and 15 of the Queen,
as the moment they became rated they ceased to
be compound householders. With respect to the
second question, the person would certainly be so
entitled. With respect to the meaning of the words men-
tioned, it meant the rate due to tho landlord at the time
the claim was made. The occupier would not be called
upon to ply the difference alluded to; and with respect to
the "inhabitant occupier" and "resident," he looked upon
the terms as identical.

Mr. W. E. FORSTER asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer whether it was the intention of the Government,
by omitting all the words after " rated ' in the first line of
clause 31 of the Representation of the People Bill,
to
prevent the application of clause 1 of the Compound
Householders Act (11 and le Vic. c. 14) to compound
householders under £lO ; and, if so, whether it was
intended to deprive compound householders under £lO of
the right which the above-mentioned clause • gives to
compound householders at and above £lO of being regis-
tered and entitled to vote upon claiming to be rated,
instead of being obliged, by clause 30 of the Reform Act
(2 Will. IV., c. 45) to be rated for a year before becom-
ing a voter.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
clause would apply to both cases, therefore it was not
necessary for him to say more, as the other portion of the
question was founded on contingencies that might never
occur.
Mr. FORSTER asked for a more explicit answer.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, by a
general clause in the bill all the existing rights of those
affected by the bill were strictly preserved.
