IMPERIAL PAR LIADIENT

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

PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The Barnsley Railway, the Manchester Water, the
Mould Gas, and the Speedy Water Bills wore read a second
time.

TIDE TORNADO.

The Marquis of CLASTitioniCasked whether au
answer had been received from the Spanish Government
relative to the Tornado ?
Lord DERBY stated that an answer had been received,
dated "Madrid, May '2," and it had been referred for con-
sideration to the law officers of the Clown.
THE FEN lAN CONSPIRACY.

The Marquis of GLANIUCAIiiSE -asked whether the
Government had taken any steps to obtain correct reports
of evidence given upon the trials for treason and partici •
pation in the Fenian conspiracy, in order that they may
be at the proper time communicated to Parliament.
He had a resolution in his hand from the Reform League,
which had been passed at one of their meetings, that the
lives of the unfortunate men now under sentence of death
should be spared. On this point he (the noble marquis)
would say nothing, but ask for the information he sought
from the Government, such information, he believed, being
most desirable...,..__

The Earl of DERBY said that ho never heard a subject
handled with such latitude as that of the noble marquis,
and considered such a resolution as that just read as very
ill-timed. Ile should confine himself to what was asked by
the noble marquis in his three points. lie considered that
all three would be injurious •if carried. With the last
point he thought that if complied with it would embroil
this country with foreign nations, but with regard to a
correct record of the whole proceedings, that would be
laid before the house.
After a few remarks from Lord CLANRICARDE the
subject dropped.
The house then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—THIS EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock.
ENLISTMENT IN THE ARMY.
Sir J. PAKINGTON said in consequence of the repre-
sentations of the noble lord the member for North Lanca-
shire, it was not his intention to bring forward the
vote for £500,000 for increase of pay to the
army and militia. It was, however, or the greatest
importance that no unnecessary delay should
take place in submitting the vote to the house. It was
his intention on Monday to ask for leave to introduce a
bill to limit the time of enlistment iu the army, also b
consolidate the law for establishing a reserve force, and
also for the forming of a reserve in the militia to join the
regular army in case of war.
Colonel NORTH said it was of importance that the
Army Estimates should be proceeded with as soon as pos-
sible, as recruiting in the army was nearly at a standstill.
Sir J. I'AKINGTON said he had given notice of his
iutektion to move for leave to introduce the bills on Mon-
day. They would doubtless be in the hands of members
on Tuesday. He hoped to be enabled to move.
'THE ROYAL PARKS BILL.
Mr. NEATE gave notice that on the second reading of
the bill for the regulation of the royal parks, he should
move that it was not expedient to proceed with the
subject, limiting it to meetings in the royal parks in the
metropolis.
HACKNEY CABS IN THE PARKS.
Mr. O'BEIRNE asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether, as the public had been per-
mitted to drive into Ilyde Park in cabs and other public
vehicles plying fur hire, he sees any objection to permitting
members ut Parliament, when proceeding to the discharge
of their public duties, to drive over Constitution Hill to
the House of Commons? _ . _

Mr. WA LCOLE said the question involved two state-
ments. The fact was that no permission had been given
to public cabs to enter Hyde-park and ply fur hire. The
regulations remained unaltered on the subject. If the
hon. member founded his question on the fact of the two
cabs that drove into the park on konday last, he had to
state that they carried messengers to Sir Richard Mayne,
Commissioner of Police. That being so he did nut see
any ground for making any alteration in the regulations
at present existing.

Sir. O'BEIRNE gave notice that he should call the at-
tention of the House to the subject when the Civii Service
estimates were under discussion.

THE ROYAL PARK BILL.

Mr. BRIGHT said he did not know whether he was
right in putting the question to the right hon. gentleman
(Mr. Walpole)—perhaps he would explain his position to
the house—but he should like to know when this bill was
to be proceeded with.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said ample
notice would be given when the measure was to be pro-
ceeded with.
FALSE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES BILLS.

n reply to Lord EUSTACE C;BCIL,
Mr. WALPOLE said the bill was in active preparation,
and it would be brought forward without delay.
COMMUNICATION WITH INDIA.

In reply to Mr. CRAWFORD,
Mr. HUNT raid it was quite a spontaneous act
of the Peninsular and Oriental Company in run-
ning the extra steatiner between Suez and Bom-
bay, • and as they kid SS o ueticea of the

discontinuance of that service after the 26th of May, the
communication with India would be carried on as for-
merly.

NATIONAL DEBT BILL.

In reply to Mr. B. SHERIDAN,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was
not possible to proceed with the bill on Monday next,
as on that day he proposed introducing the Scotch Reform
Bill. After that he thought it would be convenient to go
into committee and proceed with the consideration of the
English bill. (Hoar, hear.) It was very important that the
National Debt Bill should be proceeded with as soon as
possible, and he hoped to be able to go on with it on
Thursday next.
