IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(This Evening.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool-
sack at five o'clock.
Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY presented a peti-
tion from Chester in favour of the legalisation of the
marriage with a deceased wife's sister.
Earl GRANVILLE presented similar petitions from
Liverpool.
The Bishop of RIPON presented petitions to the
same tff,ct.
Earl St. German, the Bishop of London, and Lord
Ilatherton also presented petitions with a similar prayer.

ARMY CLOTHING.
In reply to a question from the Marquis of CLANRI'
CARDE,
Lard HARDINGE said no dress uniforms had been
sent to Liverpool, but as soon as the 100th Regiment
arrived at Shorncliffe it was quite true that they had
reeeived their new tunic' without the buttons. (Hear,
hear, and a laugh.) This was owing not to the
neglect of any person in au ofiCrial ph-ition, but to
some neglect on the part of carriers who had undertaken
to convey stores from Weedon to the other railway sta-
tion, the buttons and tunics not being both supplied by
the same person. His gallant friend at the head of the
War department was taking steps for a thorough re-or•
eanisation of the clothing department, and he assured
the noble marquis that the evil of which he complained
would be remedied by the new regulations.
C HURCH RATES.
Lord PORTMAN said that, in consequence of the
announcement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer that
next session he intended to submit a plan for the ar-
rangement of this question, he (Lord Portman) thought
It would be premature for him to lay on the table, dur-
ing the present session, the bill which he had announced
his intention of presenting to their lordship for the set-
tlement of this vexed question. He was not unprepared
to do so, but, on the contrary, he had a deal of informa-
tion, which would be at the service cf the Government
if they thought proper to accept it. His only object had
been to obtain a settlement of the question of church
rates.
The Earl of DERBY was sorry the noble lord oppo
site had overstated the announcement made by his
right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The
right hon. gentleman said it was the hope of the Govern-
ment that, during the next session of Parliament,
they might be enabled to settle the question of
church rates, but that was not saying that
they intended to introduce a bill for that purpose. The
subject was surrounded with very great difficulty,
as the more suggestions that were made the greater
the chance was there of their arriving at some
sati-factory conclusion. He should be grateful to his
noble friend (Lord Portman) if, notwithstanding the
state m eit of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he would
lay on the table the bill he bad prepared on the question.

THE LOSS OF THE VARNA.
In reply to Mr. ROBERTSON,
Mr. HENLEY said his attention had been called to
the circumstance referred to. He had had a copy of the
ship's protest sent to him, cud it appeared from
it that the master of the ship died, and the mate,
who held a certificate of service but not
of competency strictly under the provisions of the law.
succeeded him, The protest stated the mate was not a
navigator, and ho was unable to take ob:mrvations, but
it did not appear that the vessel was lost in conse-
quence. Inquiries,: however, would be made into the
subject.
NEW ROADS AND NAVIGABLE CANALS IN
INDIA.
Mr. CHEETIIAM asked the President of the Board
of Control why the reruns respectine, new roads and
navigable canals in India, ordered byp the house last
session, bad not yet been laid on the table?
Lord STANLEY said it was found no sufficient
materials existed in this country out of which the return
desired could be compiled, and in consequence an order
was sent to India to obtain the information required.
He bad received a letter from Col. Baker, Secretary to
the Public Works in India, in which ho called upon all
the local authorities in every part of India to furnish the
required details. Probably the disturbed state of the
country had caused the delay, but as soon as he received
the information referred to, he would lay it upon the
table of the house.

Mr. VANSITTART asked the President of the Board
of Control, whether it was his intention, considering the

any longer Commissioner for the University of Cambrielgel

commencement of the year he proposed to his brother
Commissioners to resign, but it was their unanimous
wish that he should continue one of the Commissioneie,
and he complied with it. (Hear, hear.)
