MEETINGS IN BOYAL PARKS BILL.

The Earl of DEBBY. :Said that the pressure of important
business had boeu so great that they trid not boon able to
bring in a bill on this subject, but that they would very
shortly do so, and he, therefore, asked his noble friend
(Lord Eedesdale) to postpone his motion.
Lord itEDESDALE, after commenting on the import-
ance of the question being sottbd, agreed to postpone the
motion.

CHRIST CHURCH (OXFORD) ORDINANCES BILf,
Tim Archbishop of CANTERI3URY moved the second

question, it was a most important one.

After a few other unimportant remarks, the Bill WAS
read a second time.
CONSECRATION OF CHURCHYARDS BILL.

On the motion fur tho reprt of amendments on, this
hill to ha received, it was agreed to.
Their lordsh,ps then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAsT EVENING.

The Speakor took tho chair at two o'clock.
REPRESENTATION OF 'TIE PEOPLE BILL.

On the bringing up of the repot of tho committee on this
bill a discussion took place on various matters of detail,
none of which involved any particular point of importance
in the bill, and the consideration of tho clause conferring
the franchise on lodgers.
Mr. BOUVERLE made a somewhat lengthy statement,
the effect of which was that he considered it inexpedient
to confer the franchise on persons in such a position.
The result, however, was that the amendment of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, which was merely to clearly
define that lodgers should be of full age and subject to no
legal incapacity before they should be entitled to vote, was
agreed to.
Mr. TAYLOR moved an amendment to the clause, the
effect of which was to secure the vote to lodgers changing
their place of residence.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was
of opinion that the proposal would be inexpedient because
it went to the extent of giving the vote to lodgers in sue-

cession.

The proposed amendment was rejected.
Mr. AYRTON moved the following addition to clause
s;—" Where, after the 29th day of September next, any
premises in any borough aro let for a less period than one
year, or the rent reserved in respect thereof is made payable
at any shorter period than three months, the owner as
well as the occupier shall be rated to the relief of the poor,
and shall be liable to pay the rates in respect thereof, with-
out prejudice to any contract between the owner and oc-
cupierregarding their liability as between themselves to the
payment of such rates. The person receiving the
rent of any premises from the occupier or occupiers
thereof on his own account, or as agent or receiver for
any corporation or person under disability interested
therein, shall, for the purposes aforesaid be deemed and be
rated as the owner of the premises." The hon. gentleman
said, the object in doing so was to prevent tke
owner of premises such as he described of making
such an arrangement as to letting them for shorter periods
than ono year, whereby he could utterly set at defiance the
rate collector. The adoption of the clause in no way in-
terfered with the actual exercise of the franch;se. Neither
would affect the question of composition.
The SPEAKER decided that the question could not be
put at this stage of the bill, as it would bo putting a
charge upon certain persons. It could not be entertained
then. It ought to have been submitted to the com-
mittee.
The consideration of a number of technical and verbal
amendments to the VI occupied the attention of the house
up to seven o'clock, at which hour the sitting was sus-
pended.
Ou the reassembling of the house at nine o'clock, the
orders first on the paper wore postponed for the purpose
of resuming the consideration of the amended Bpform B:II.
Mr. LOWTHER moved to strike out from clause 46 the
concltang words, which provided that no person should
bo entitled to vote at au election for the city of Oxford or
town of Camle idge in respect of the occupation of
ehainbers or premises in any of the colleges or hal's of
either University. The effect of adopaug the 'lntendment
would be to give to lodgers in the university—say of
Oxford--the privilege of voting for the city of Oxford.
Mr. CAI:DWELL suppoi.,ed the cause, contending
,that the university and the town bad always been separate
bodies.
Mr. Secretary HARD I was prepared to vote for the
amendment, in deference to what he Mieved to bo the
wish of the university.
Mr. Neate and Sir H. Palmer spoke in favour of the
clause, and Sir H. Heatleote agaiurt it. ..
The house having di tided, the amendment was carried
by 145 to 84. amid Ministerial cheering.
The schedule enumerating the members holding offices
of profit frau' the Crown who shall not be required to va-
cate their offices on accepting another office was moved by
the Chancellor of the Exchequer and agreed to. These
officers aro Lord High Treasurer, Commissioner of Trea-
surer of the Exchequer of Great Britain and Lord High
Treasurer of Ireland, president of the Privy Council, Vice
President of the Committee of Council for Education,
Comptroller of her Majesty's Household, Treasurer of her
Majesty's Household, Vice Chamberlain of her Majesty's
Household, Equerty or Groom in Waiting on her Majesty,

ter, Master of the Hells, Judge Advocate General, Attor-
ney General for England, Solicitor-General for England,

Numerous verbal amendments were agreed to, and then
the b;11 was ordered to be read a third time on Monday
next, amid loud and general cheering.
The house having gone into committee of supply, some
progress was made with the civil service estimates.
The other orders on the paper were also disposed of, and
at five minutes to three o'clock the house adjourned.
