HOUSE OF LORDS—'Tins EVENING.
Tho LORD CHANCELLOR• took his soat OR the woolsack at
five o'clock.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The Great Western Railway ; and London, Brighton,
and South Coast Railway ; Midland, Eastern, and Spald-
ing Railway Bills were read a second time.
CONSECRATION OF CHURCHYARDS.
Lord REDESDALE said that he would prefer that
the second reading of the bill should bo postponed until
after the recess.
The Bishop of OXFORD said that ho did not wish
to do otherwise than that the house should have
before them all the information on the subject that they
could have, and therefore be should have no objection to
the proposition of the noble lord the chairman of com-
mittees. •
The Earl of DERBY said that the present course wished
to be pursued was rather an extraordinary one. There
were two bills relative to the question, and he thought it
would bo highly inconvenient if the churchyards were not
consecrated at once.
Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY made a few obser-
vations relative to the constitutional clauses in the bill.
The BISHOP of OXFORD trusted that the house
would view with deliberation the bill after the recess.
• Lord REDESDALE did not wish to put the bill off
altogether, but he proposed certain alterations in the bill.
The coursi that he would pursue would be to postpone the
commitment of the bill that day, in order to allow the
Right Reverend Prelate (the Bishop of Oxford) time to
propose his amendment after the recess.
The Duke of BUCCLEUCH said that it was a most
important question, and that it ought to be taken up at
once.
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY proposed to lay
upon the table to-morrow a bill relative to the fees of the
consecration of churchyards in every diocese.
The bill was then postponed.
THE CONSOLIDATED FUND BILL.
This bill was read a second time.
CHESTER COURTS BILL.

This bill was committed and passed.
The house thou adjourned.

tern and Charing Cross Railway.
An HON. MEMBER asked a question relative to the in-
crease of fares on the North Western Railway.
Mr. CAVE said the fares had only been raised within
the Parliamentary limit, and therefore the Board of Trade
were powerless.
RAILWAY STANDING ORDERS.
Mr. M. GIBSON called attention to the discrepancythe two
Rouses of Parliament in regard to the provisions made for
securing the completion -of railways, and concluded by
moving that it was inexpedient to mako any alteration in
the standing orders relative to railways during the present
session.
Mr. CAVE said it would, under all the circumstances,
be better that all railway bills passed this session should
be under the old Standing Order, and that before the ter-
mination of the session a conference •should be held be-
tween the two houses, in order that an uniform act of
orders should be agreed upon.
Vac> motion was agreed to,

NEW WR IT.
On the motion of Mr. GLYN, a new writ was ordered to
be issued for Weymouth in the room of Captain Gridley.
" BLACK DEATH."
Mr. VERNER asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
whether he had received any information from the Regis-
trar-General or other authority with regard to the very
fatal disease called in the newspapers " Black Death,"
which bad of late been prevalent in the neighbourhood of
Dublin ?
Lord NAAS said there had been about 50 des from
fevers
nce the 15th of May, but none from that bled in
the middle age " Black Death."
THE UNIVERSITY OP LONDON.
Mr. GOLDSMID asked the First Commissioner of
Works when the new design for the elevation of the Uni-
versity of London is likely to be finished ; and whether he
will, before giving orders for its execution, afford the
louse and the University an opportunity of expresAng au
opinion upon it.
Lord J. MANNERS said immediately the plan was re-
ceived from Mr. Pennethorno it would be placed in the
library of the house for inspection. Ile did not propose to
submit it to the university.
VENTILATION OF SEWERS.
Sk G. S TUCLEY • asked the Vico President of the.
Council whether his attention had been called to the•pro-,
sent system of ventilating the sewers by shafts covered
with open iron gratings placed in the centre of narrow
and much frequented thoroughfares ; and whether the
gases dispersed by means of such gratings could not be
carried off in some other way ?
Lord R. MONTAGUE said whilst the sewers were
ventilated into the streets the noxious gases would inva4le
the houses. With respect to ventilating the sewers by
means of shafts, that would interfere with private property.
However, the whole matter was in the hands of the local
authorities.

THE TORNADO.
Mr. GREGORY asked the Secretary for Foreign
Affairs, whether he could obtain and lay before the house
a copy of the papers found on board the Tornado, and re-
ferred to by the Spanish auditor in his report dated the
6th day of December, 1866 ?.
Lord STANLEY said he had received an intimation
from SirJ. Crampton that, as there were no copies of the
papers except at Cadiz, and having to send there for
them no doubt was the cause of the del,,y_in their arrival.
