IMPERIAL PARLT.ABEENT

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

PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The Kidderminster Gas Bill (Amendments) was read a
third time.
ADMIRALTY COURTS.
Tho LORD CHANCELLOR begged leave to introduce
a bill to amend the action of Vise-Admiralty courts in the
colonies.
The bill was read a first time.
BILLS.
The Fulham Railway Bill was read a second, time.
RELIGIOUS (SITES) BILL.
Lord CRANWORTH said that in moving the second
reading of the Religious, &c., Building (Sites) Bill he need
not tell their lordships that the interment of the dead had
been regulated by a bill called the Mortuary Bill, and this
act had controlled all grants of sites necessary for the
purpose of erecting religious edifices. Now what
he
wished to effect by the present bill was to do away with
a great deal of inconvenience, which arose in obtaining
permission to erect the edifices already described.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that although he did
not intend to object to the bill, still he thought that it was
very carelessly drawn. The noble lord then entered into
Lally technical points which he . considered, insisted
upon, would lead to several serious innovations. He
should therefore propose as an amendment the enrolment
of the deeds.
The bill was then read a second time.
THE MUTINY BILL.
Lord LONGFORD said, that in moving the second
reading of this bill that their lordships were doubtless all
well acquainted with a discussion which had gone on in
another place relative to flogging in the army. In conse-
qnence the 22d clause of this bill had been altered, and it
enacted that flogging should only take place under two
conditions, mutiny or insubordination, accompanied with
personal violence. He (the noble lord) chiefly regretted
that it should be necessary at any time to enforce corporal
punishment.
The bill was road a second time.
LYON BING-AT-ARMS (SCOTLAND) BILL.
Lord BELMORE moved the commitment of this bill,
which was committed accordingly.

Mr. P. HUGHES moved the suspension of standing
orders in the case of the petition from the London,
Chatham, and Dover Railway (No. 3) Bill.
Col. W. PATTEN opposed the motion.
Mr. CAVE thought the best course was to agree to the

for the benefit of the undertaking.
The motion was agreed to.
THE METROPOLIS GAS ACT.
The Sheriffs of the City of London presented a petition
against the Metropolis Gas Act.

bribery to be exercised on his behalf.
THE REFORM BILL—THE MEETING OF LIBE-
RALS TO-DAY AND THEIR RESOLUTIONS.
Mr. AOLAND, on the part of Mr. Coleridge, gave no-
tico that, on the reading the order of the day for going into
committee on the Bill for the Amendment of the Repre-
sentation of the People, he should move that it be an
instruction to the committee that they have power to alter
the law of rating, so that in every parliamentary borough
the occupiers of tenements of a given amount of relative
value be relieved from the liability of personal rating,
with a view to Ex a line for the borough franchise, at and
above which all occupiers should be entered on the rate

book, and shall have equal facility for the enjoyment of
such franchise as a residential occupation franchise.

THE REFORM BILL.
Mr. SYNAN asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether he proposed retaining and moving in committee
on the Representation of the People Bill the clause for the
use of voting papers.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he did
intend to proceed with the clause, and he hoped it would
be adopted; and he hoped it would also be adopted hi
Ireland, as it was a country in which it would
work very advantageously. (Loud laughter.)
EDUCATION.

On the motion for going into supply,
Mr. LOWE ro e to call the attention of the house to the
pr ,posals of the Government with respect to the n.nge-
merit of the grant fur ecluwtion. Ele contended the prr-
posals would fail, that it wotfrd trot•int.be least degree
stimulate people as the Government desired, and that the
espenditure as proposed would be altogether a waste of
public money. He concluded by moving that the house
dissents from so much of the minute of tlacCominittec of
Council on Education as provided for- an increase of the
grant now made to primary schools.
Mr. CORRY defended the plan proposed by the Go-
vernment.
