IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(This Evening.)
The LORD CIIANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

CARLISLE AND LANGEWLM RAILWAY.

Lord PORTMAN presented the report of the com-
mittee on the Carlisle and Langbolm Railway Bill.
The committee were of opinion that, in consequence of
the facts developed in the agreement of the contractors,
they ought not to be countenanced by Parliament, and
that the bill ought not to be allowed to proceed. The
committee thought it their duty also to express their
opinion, that all agreements with contractors ought to
be bona fide.
VICTORIA STATION AND PIMLICO RAILWAY
BILL.

On the motion that this bill be read a second time,
The Earl of CARNARVON said as this bill was of a
very important nature, he begged t move that it he re-
ferred to a select committee, and that the First Commis-
sioner of Public Works ha►e leave to appear by counsel
against the same.

After short diEcussion, in wbich Lori Stanley of
Alderley, Lord Redesdale, and the Earl of Powis took
part,

- The Earl of MALMESBURY said as there ap
peered to be a great diirrsity of opinion with respect
to this bill be thought the di,•cussion bad better be poet•
poned until his noble friend (Earl of Derby) was present
The subj.ct then dropped.
THE GOVERNMENT OF BILL.

The Earl of MALMESBURY said with respect to
the question put to him on Friday night by the
noble marquis (Lansdowne), touching the new
Government of India, that, at the time, in
consequence of the absence of the Earl of Derby,
he was unable to answer the question. He
had since communicated with his noble friend, and he
begged to state that it was not the intention
of the Government to lay the resolutions upon the table.
They were not resolutions that proceeded from the Go-
vernment alone, but resolutions which bad been framed
in two or three quarters. if they had been laid upon
the table at the same time that they were produced in
the other house there might not have been any
objecion to proceed with them, pan passu, in
both honies, but the circumrances were different,
as they had only been agreed to by the other
house as a preliminary step to the franairg of a bill, He
was not aware that there was any precedent for the pro-
duction of the resolutions came to in the Commons under
such circumstances, but he was of opinion that it would
be very inconvenient to lay them upon the table if that act
was simply to afford their lordships an opportunity of
discussing the question. He entertained the strongest
hopes that the bill would be in their lordship,' houss
during the second week in July, and he thought it
would be for the interest of India that no
preliminary discussion should take place. (Hear.)
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said be had offered
the finggestion.meray for the purpose of most effectually
and most speedily chscassing the question.
The Earl of GRANVILLE -aid the Government bad
710 doubt taken the course they thought best, but be
thought the house had been placed in a false position.
Earl GREY said, if the bill did not come up at the
time stated, he trusted that the standing order of their
lordships, with respect to the second readings of bills sent
trout the House of Commons, would not be suspended,
in order to proceed with the bill. At the end of July a
number of their lordship would not be in attendance,
and to proceed with the bill under such circumstances
would be to deprive this house, in a great measure, from
expressing its opinion on so important a measure. I
The Marquis cf CLAN RICA.RDE hoped that nothing
would induce their lordships to separate before they
had come to some final cjnclusion on this important
bill.
The subject then, dropped.
