lIYIPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS—Tins EVENING.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on tho woolsack at
five o'clock.

THE REFORM BILL.
the Earl of DERBY said that as the Route of Commons
had disagreed with the amendments their lordships had
made in the clauses of the Reform Bill, and had trans-
mitted their reasons to the house for their consideration,
he should move that they be discussed on Monday next,
on which occasion he should be prepared to make known
to their lordships the comae her Majesty's Government
thought expedient the house- to adopt.
POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS.
The Duke of BUCKINGHAM stated that he was
happy to lay before the house a wuvention with the
United States, greatly reducing the expense of
postage to that country. Thu postage of a letter
now was is., it would be reduced to 6d.; and whereas
now the postage to Canada through the United States
was Is , it would be reduced to 8(1. The United
Sates in this arrangement had shown the greatest
cordiality. While en the subject he should like to
mention that. the postal communication with India
and China would be greatly facilitated, and that
Ott the advice of the Committee, wile had long considered
the matter, they had agreed to make a mail to Bombay,
and thence to Calcutta and Madras As an erroneous im-
pression, had gained ground that the Government wero
about to place tho postal regulations in foreign hands he
took the present opportunity of contradicting it, Luta
stated that they had no intention wha ever to do so, and
were prepared to adopt a scheme approved by gentlemen
on the opposite side of the house.
[LEFT SITTING.]

lIOUSE OF COMISIONS.—This EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock.
THE REFORM BILL.
Sir R. PALMER brought up the report of the commit-
tee appointed last night to frame the reasons for disagree-
ing with certain amendments by their lordships to the Bill
for the Amendment of the Representation of the People.
The "Reasons" were read at length by the Clerk
at
the table, and ordered to be transmitted to the House of
Peers for their lordships' consideration.
CHURCH RATES.
Mr. GLADSTONE gave notice that next session be
should move for leave to introduce a bill to abolish the
,payment of compulsory Church-rates.
BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.
iThe CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER appealed to
several hoe. members who had notice of motion standing
on the paper on the motion for going into committee of
supply. The right hon. gentleman said it was of the
highest importance that the remaining votes in supply
should be taken, and therefore ho hoped hon. memt'ers
would not persevere that day and bring forward the sub-
jects standing in their names.
Mr. FAWCETT said he had a notice to the effect that
it would be undesirable for the Government to advise her
Majsty to grant a new charter to any new university
in Ireland without first consulting Parliament. If the
right hon. gentleman would give him an assurance to that
effect he would gladly give way.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER having
given the required promise, the hon. member said he
should not bring forward the motion of which he had
given notice.
The other hon. members having consented to postpone
the motions that stood in their names the amendments
for the Church Temporalities Orders (Ireland) Validation
were considered, agreed to, and the bill lead a third time.
The same course having been adopted with respect to the
Railway Companies (Ireland) Advances and Merchant
Shipping Bill, the house went into Committee of Supply.
DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE AND ART.
On the vote of £162,387, to complete the sum of
£206,387, to defray the expenses of the Science and Art
Department of the United Kingdom being proposed, a
desultory discussion arose, which terminated by the vote
