FOREIGN LOANS.

T-I ARRINGTON presented a petition,
praying th.v. 2,;zlJ-Tinnt who hwl negotiated
foreign loans should not vote till they had beau re-cice,ed.
THE JEW BILL.

The Earl of HARRINGTON gave notice, that on the
third reading of the bill he should wove the insertion of
a clause which would prohibit Jews voting on questions
affecting the Christian religion.
THE BERKELEY BARONY.

The petition from the Right Hon. Sir M. F. F.
Berkeley, K.C.8., for leave to lodge his present printed
case was then considered, and the standing order, re-
quiring•tbat all printed cases in claims for peerages
should be lodged six weeks after the petition shall have
been presented, was, after a short discussion, suspended,
in order that the case might be lodged.
THE MEDALS FOR THE INDIAN ARMY.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he wished to ask a
question of the noble earl at the head of the Goverment
in reference to the honours to be conferred on the gal-
lant army now serving in India. He would not have
ventured to interfere in a matter so entirely in the dis-
cretion of the Crown, but it bad already been announced
in the other house that a meltl was to be conferred, and
his question only referred to the lapse of time. It bad
been staled that it was intended to confer a medal for
the campaign in India, with clasps for Delhi and Luck-
now. It was understood the design Lad been approved
of, and he wished to know when it was likely the medals
and clasps would be ready for distribution—many of
those entitled to them were losing their lives every day.
He also wished to know whether a clasp would be given
for the relief of Lucknow.
The Earl of DERBY- a•lmitted that the value of the
decoration was increased by its being- promptly con-
ferred. • Instructions bad been forwarded to Sir Colin
Campbell to send home a nominal list of those entitled
to the decoration, and he believed that by the time the
list was received the medals and clasps would be ready
for distribution. The medal would be for the campaign,
and there would be clasps for the siege of Delhi, and for
the defence and the two reliefs of Lucknow.
Lord CAMPBELL said that it would perhaps be satin
factory to the Government to have an opportunity of ex-
plaining why nothing had been done as yet to carry out
what.he believed to be the expression of the national
will, by conferring some signal mark of the royal favour
on the distinguished commander of the Indian army.
The Earl of DERBY said the noble lord seemed to be
unaware that it had been announced that a peerage had
been conferred on Sir Colin Campbell, and the reason
why it bad not been notified in the gazelle was that it
was necessary to communicate with Sir Cohn Campbell
for the purpose of ascertaining by what title be wished
to be called. It was the more necessary to do this as
there was one Lord Campbell already in the house.
(Laughter.)
Lord CAMPBELL said that tho commander of the
forces in India might be called Lord Campbell of Luck-
now or Bengal.

Lord MILVILLE made some observations which
were inaudible in the gallery, the purport of which, how-
ever may be gathered from the reply of
The Earl of DERBY, who said that whilst he con-
curred in what had been said of the services of Sir John
Inglis, and the gallantry displayed by him in the ever
memorable siege of Lucknow, he would setggest that
nothing could be more prejudicial than the discussion of
the comparative merits of genf,rals, or the comparative
amount of honour which the Crown thought proper to
confer on them, and he hoped that neither that nor the
other House of Parliament would encourage any such
discussions. (Hear.)
SALE OF POISONS, itc., BILL.
The report of this bill, with amendments, was received,
the Earl of DEMI/. intimating that be would take into
consideration the amendments of Lord Talbot 'de
Malahide, with respect to the selection of examiners.
