CHINA.

Mr. W. EWART inquired of the Chancellor of the
Ex hequer, whether advantage would bs taken of the
opportunity afforded by the negotiations with the Cbineee
Government at Pekin, for opening a way fort British
and Indian commerce into Thibet and other countries
under the Chinese dominion beyond the Himalayale
Mountains.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that at present this country bad no negotiations unfor-
tunately with Pekin What might happen he could not
say, but the house might rest satisfied that her Majesty's
Government would give every assistance towards de-
veloping British government.
THE PASSPORT SYSTEM.

Slr. MONCKTON MILNES put a question to the
Government respecting the effect of the New Passport
Regulations in Belgium on British subjects, and called
the attention of the house to the inconveniences of the,
present system of the delivery of passports by the Fe-
reign Office. He expressed his regret that Belgium had
adopted the French system.
Mr. SEYMOUR FITZGERALD said that at pre-
sent, under certain circumstances, passports were granted
by the Foreign-office without recommendations.
Negotiations were going on with the French Govern-
ment relative to altering the restrictions in the case of
English workmen and on some other points. Agents
would be appointed at all the English ports where the
traffic demanded it, and the French Government would
have agents at ports to which they would arrive.
RECORD OF THE NATIONALITY OF PRI-
SONERS CHARGED AT THE METROPOLI-
TAN POLICE COURTS,
Lord R. CECIL asked the Secretary for the Home
Dopaitinent, w hewer there wuul I be any objec-
tion to giving directions that a record should be
kept of the nations to which each prisoner charged
at the Metropolitan Police Courts belonged.
He was induced to ask the question because he under-
stood crime in this country committed by foreigners was
on the increase.
I Mr. HARDY, under Home Secretary, said he would
inquire if such a record could be kept. •
THE GREEN PARK.
Lord ELCHO put a question to the First Commis•
sioner of Works, relative to the intended alterations in
the Green Park, and called attention to the erection of
the Suspension-bridge in St. James'-park, and asked the
noble lord the member for Tiverton if he was gratified
with the " Catenarian Curve" he so eloquently described
when the motion for erecting a bridge over the lake
was before the house ; aid if the suspension-
bridge presented that line of beauty, and was of that
light gossamer form his speech on the above occasion
led the house to believe, and if its erection met with his
approval. lie considered the name of the architect and
the noble lord should to inscribed upon it. Be
contended the house ought to know what works were to
be carried out before they sanctioned them. He referred
to two circles marked out in the Green park, lor, he
believed, two shrubberies; but he cmsidered shrubberies
were an abomination in the London parks, and ought
not to be sanctioned. They were anything but orna-
mental, and their removal from the parks was a great
improvement. Above all places they should not be
plmsted on one of the pleasantest sloping spots of grass
in the suburbs of London.
Lord J. MANNE RS said the proposed shrubberies
originated with the late President of the Board of
Works, but he had no intention of carrying them
out, or of planting shrubberies without the con-
sent of the house. (Hear, hear.) With respect to
Finsbury Park he had little to do with it, but he had
communicated with the Metropolitan Board of Works,
who had replied that no measures had been taken for
forming a park. The laying out of two roads were now
occupying their attention, and until they were carried
out the consideration of the formation of Finsbury Park
must stand over.
Sir B. H&LL rose and was
